The seed may be drilled with a hand seed drill, and it should be covered to a depth of not more than one-fourth of an inch. On land of heavy texture that is liable to bake, it is a good plan to cover the seeds with leaf mold, sand, or some other material that will not bake. By keeping the soil moistened, quicker germination may be obtained. The plants should be thinned to stand 6 or 8 inches apart in the rows. Methods used in handling the turnip-rooted type of parsley are practically the same as for the foliage form. The plants should be thinned to 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. 

The Rosenbrock-Wanner (ROW) method is an extension of the semi-implicit Runge-Kutta method. In the ROW method, Equation A2.5 is replaced by the expression...

Figure 2 shows a typical example of the row data measured by this method The data exhibit a classic curves, namely velocity, contact force and depth of the indenter intrusion, obtained on polyvinyl chloride sample. 

Surface reconstructions have been observed by STM in many systems, and the teclmique has, indeed, been used to confmn the missing row structure in the 1 x 2 reconstruction of Au(l 10) [28]. As the temperature was increased within 10 K of the transition to the disordered 1 1 phase (700 K), a drastic reduction in domain size to -20-40 A (i.e. less than the coherence width of LEED) was observed. In this way, the STM has been used to help explain and extend many observations previously made by diffraction methods.

Basically, two different methods arc commonly used for representing a chemical struchiive in 3D space. Both methods utilize different coordinate systems to describe the spatial arrangement of the atoms of a molecule under con.sidcration. The most common way is to choose a Cartesian coordinate system, i.e., to code the X-, y-, and z-coordinates of each atom, usually as floating point numbers, For each atom the Cartesian coordinates can be listed in a single row. giving consecutively the X-, )> , and z-valnc.s. Figure 2-90 illustrates this method for methane. 

The Extended Iliickel method also allows the inclusion ofd orbitals for third row elements (specifically, Si. P, Sand CD in the basis set. Since there arc more atomic orbitals, choosing this option resn Its in a Ion ger calc ii 1 at ion. Th e m ajor reason to in cin de d orbitals is to improve the description of the molecular system. 

The furnace and thermostatic mortar. For heating the tube packing, a small electric furnace N has been found to be more satisfactory than a row of gas burners. The type used consists of a silica tube (I s cm. in diameter and 25 cm. long) wound with nichrome wire and contained in an asbestos cylinder, the annular space being lagged the ends of the asbestos cylinder being closed by asbestos semi-circles built round the porcelain furnace tube. The furnace is controlled by a Simmerstat that has been calibrated at 680 against a bimetal pyrometer, and the furnace temperature is checked by this method from time to time. The furnace is equipped with a small steel bar attached to the asbestos and is thus mounted on an ordinary laboratory stand the Simmerstat may then be placed immediately underneath it on the baseplate of this stand, or alternatively the furnace may be built on to the top of the Simmerstat box. 

The PRDDO (partial retention of diatomic differential overlap) method is an attempt to get the optimal ratio of accuracy to CPU time. It has been parameterized for the periodic elements through Br, including the 3rd row transition metals. It was parameterized to reproduce ah initio results. PRDDO has been used primarily for inorganic compounds, organometallics, solid-state calculations, and polymer modeling. This method has seen less use than other methods of similar accuracy mostly due to the fact that it has not been incorporated into the most widely used semiempirical software. 

Modeling the lighter main group inorganic compounds is similar to modeling organic compounds. Thus, the choice of method and basis set is nearly identical. The second-row compounds (i.e., sulfur) do have unfilled d orbitals, making it often necessary to use basis sets with d functions.
