Research Findings

This results in a population analysis scheme that is less basis set dependent than the Mulliken scheme. Flowever, basis set effects are still readily apparent. This is also a popular technique because it is available in many software packages and researchers find it convenient to use a method that classifies the type of orbital. 

Once you are experienced at finding transition structures for a particular class of reactions, you will probably go directly to the technique that has been most reliable for those reactions. Until that time, the checklist above is our best advice for finding a transition structure with the least amount of work for the researcher and the computer. Regardless of experience, it is common to experience quite a bit of trial and error in finding transition structures. Even experienced researchers find that the way they have been regarding a reaction is often much more simplistic than the molecular motions actually involved.

In interpreting the above research findings it is important to consider a ntunber of additional points.

This second edition includes the author s latest research findings, most notably, which numerical method is best and when. Special methods, such as Weibayes, are presented with actual case studies. 

Summarize your research. All research findings that you will present in your proposal should be summarized and made comprehensible (i.e. jargon free). 

Reid and Shah (2007) have provided evidence supporting pre-laboratory exercises. However, pre-experimental activities constitute a phase that most often is missing from laboratory irrstruction. According to research findings, only about 3% of the laboratory time is applied to developing research questions for experiments (Tobin Capie, 1982 Neber Heumarm-Ruprecht, 2006). 

The investigation was conducted in the form of collaborative action research in order to bring together the strengths of chemistiy teachers, the advisor for chemistry from The National Board of Education for Slovenia, and chemical education researchers from University of Ljubljana, and at the same time to enable a direct transfer of estabhshed research findings into teaching practice. According to teachers opinion, in comparison with their experiences in previous years, the most important achievements of the LON approach were ... 

The aim of this chapter is to summarize some of the research findings on xylan, a natural polymer extracted from corn cobs, which presents a promising application in the development of colon-specific drug carriers. Physicochemical characterization of the polymer regarding particle size and morphology, composition, rheology, thermal behavior, and crystallinity will be provided. Additionally, research data on its extraction and the development of microparticles based on xylan and prepared by different methods will also be presented and discussed. 

The mission of the Combustion Institute is to promote research in the field of combustion science. This is done through the dissemination of research findings at systematically organized international S5nnposia on combustion and through publications. The institute plays an important role in promoting the specialized...

The First International Symposium on Disease Prevention by IP6 and other Rice Bran Components. was conducted in Kyoto, Japan on June 8-9, 1998. Scientists from all over the globe gathered and presented their research findings on the effect of IP6 and other rice bran components on several aspects of health. The brain storming sessions of nearly 35 presentations demonstrated that IP6 is a chemopreventive agent as both a cancer inhibitor and a cancer suppressor in mammary gland, colon and lung cancer (Shamsuddin et al, 1997). 

Much less attention has been paid to chronic PCP use per se, i.e., the substance use disorder itself. Such issues as the effects of chronic PCP use, and the diagnosis, clinical characterization, and treatment of chronic PCP abusers are rarely discussed in the published literature, even in detailed review articles (Davis 1982 Pearlson 1981 Pradhan 1984). This paper reviews the literature on inpatient and outpatient treatment of PCP abuse, outlines our own experience with PCP users and abusers in one large, public, urban hospital, and makes suggestions for future research based on this information and animal research findings (Balster, this volume). 

Even this brief survey suggests the complexity of attempting to determine the efficacy of caffeine as an ergogenic aid for endurance activity in view of so many serious potential limitations to the research. With this in mind, the next section reviews some of the more significant research findings. 

A decade later, in a published interview, Costill reflected on the diversity of subsequent research findings following this intial spate of positive results and he speculated that they may be related to subject selection variables. He felt that some people may be positive responders to caffeine, since in the first two studies his group conducted, several of the same subjects were employed.39... 

It is not often that researchers find their work leading to such widespread changes of behaviour. Still, the 44 per cent figure reveals a split opinion. Most physicians did not intend to alter their prescribing practices. Our analysis has provoked a vociferous and continuing debate on the effectiveness of antidepressants and the circumstances under which they should be prescribed. In this chapter I consider and respond to the various criticisms that have been levelled at our data-based conclusions about the efficacy of antidepressants. 

A company may get capital by selling a subsidiary or a portion of its business. In 1969 Monsanto decided that it would quit the low-density polyethylene business. It sold its plant at Texas City, Tex., plus its research findings and technology concerning low-density polyethylene to Northern Petrochemical.14 In the same year Atlantic Richfield paid 1800,000 for a 30% interest in a mining lease on about 8,560 acres of oilshale reserves in eastern Utah.15 W. R. Grace Co. sold its 53% interest in the Miller Brewing Company to Philip Morris for 130,000,000 and made an after-tax profit of 54,000,000.16 In 1969 it also sold its steamship business.
