The article is organized as follows. In the next Section we present a brief outline of the theoretical background for the present work. Section 3 contains summaries of the SC models for the electronic mechanisms of the gas-phase Diels-Alder reaction between butadiene andethene [11] and the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of fulminic acid to ethyne [12]. In Section 4 we provide, for the first time, a description of the SC model for the electronic mechanism of the gas-phase disrotatory electrocyclic ring-opening of cyclohexadiene. Conclusions and final comments are presented in Section 5. 

When discussing the SC models for the electronic mechanisms of the Diels-Alder reaction between butadiene and ethene [11], and of the disrotatory electrocyclic ringopening of cyclohexadiene, we shall make use of the Rumer spin basis, which allows a straightforward translation of our results into a form that resembles traditional VB ideas. 

In spite of these anticipated great similarities, the results of our SC calculations [12] reveal a completely different picture. When the reacting molecules are far apart (see the rightmost column in Fig. 2), the orbitals on the HCNO fragment ( /i, /3, /5 and /6) reproduce the well-known SC model for the electronic structure of 1,3-dipoles [33,34], according to which the central heavy atom is hypervalent . The nitrogen atom in...

Consequence analysis Once the risks have been identified, their consequences have to be analysed using an appropriate model of SC operations. The disruptions due to one particular risk or a combination of risks can be simulated and propagated through the SC model and the effects analysed. In a complex SC, there could be important domino effects. These should be explicitly considered in the analysis. Section 2.2 presents a dynamic simulation model of the integrated refinery SC which enables such analysis.

Metal cations in the solid sorbent surface are symbolized by S in MINTEQA2. At mineral surfaces exhibiting amphoteric behavior, that behavior is often attributed to the successive dominance of surface SOH, SOH, and SO species with increasing pH (Fig. 10.4). In MINTEQA2, surface protonation and deprotonation reactions that are basic to the three SC models are written in the form... 

As detailed above, the adsorption behavior of most actinides varies widely with solution pH, Eh, complexation, competitive adsorption and ionic strength, and the surface properties of sorbent phases. For this reason, many researchers have modeled actinide adsorption using surface complex-ation (SC) models that can quantitatively account for such variables. These models include the constant capacitance (CC), diffuse-layer (DL), and triple-layer (TL) models (Chap. 10). Much of the ra-... 

Turner (1995) lists and reviews most of the published work on SC modeling of actinide cation adsorption. Further SC-modeling references include Np(V) adsorption by a-FeOOH and Fe304 (Fujita et al. 1995) Pu(IV) and Am(IlI) adsorption by HFO, CaSi concrete, mortar, sand/bentonite, tuff, and sandstone (Baston et al. 1995a) and U(IV), U(VI), Tc(IV), and Tc(VII) adsorption by bentonite and tuff, silica, alumina, and goethite (Baston et al. 1995b). 

An advantage of the SC models is that they provide a mechanistic and scientifically defensible approach for predicting adsorption behavior outside the range of laboratory conditions used to parameterize the models. The models are capable of relatively accurate predictions of actinide adsorption behavior in complex systems. By comparison, Kj values are largely restricted in application to systems similar to those used for the measurement. Alternatively, highly conservative (often...

In view of the Schmidt number exponent (Sc° ) in Equation 6.24 being substantially different than those for the surface renewal (Sc 0 or boundary layer flow (Sc ) models, Hughmark (1980) introduced a new argument that the mechanism of solid-liquid mass transfer in a stirred vessel is not the same as described by the two models mentioned earlier. 

A challenge associated with the contraction mapping argument is finding best response functions because in most SC models best responses cannot be found explicitly. Fortunately, Theorem 5 only requires the derivatives of the best response functions, which can be done using the Implicit Function Theorem (from now on, IFT, see Bertsekas 1999). Using the IFT, Theorem 5 can... 

From the SCM point of view, cooperative games are somewhat unsatisfactory in that they do not explicitly describe the equilibrium actions taken by the players that is often the key in SC models. Biform games, developed by Bran-denburger and Stuart (2003), compensate to some extent for this shortcoming.
