Shell model calculations predict a quasi-shell closure at 96Zr. Therefore, it is of interest to measure g-factors of states in 97Zr and test whether they can be described by simple shell model configurations. The 1264.4 keV level has a half-life of 102 nsec, and its g-factor was measured by the time-differential PAC method at TRISTAN [BER85a]. The result, g-0.39(4), is consistent with the Schmidt value of 0.43, which assumes no core polarization and the free value for the neutron g factor, g g free. This indicates that the 1264.4 keV level is a very pure single-particle state, thus confirming the shell model prediction of a quasi-shell closure at 96Zr. 

Interesting information in this context was also provided by the work of Feher and Schmidt, who proposed two possible alignments between CA4 and other important CSI, including colchicine [33], The represented a test for the newly developed MultiSEAL procedure, which allows the application of the steric and electrostatic alignment (SEAL) [34] method to multiple conformations of multiple molecules. It should be emphasized that, when robust, an alignment method can be profitably used not only to prepare compounds for a 3D-QSAR analysis, but also to identify and locate potential pharmacophoric groups in a set of structurally diverse molecules. The CSI used by Feher and Schmidt were colchicine, CA4, allocolchicine (6), 2-methoxy-5-(2, 3, 4 -trimethoxyphenyl)-tropone (MTC) (7) and 2-methoxyestradiol (8) (Chart 5). 

Effects of System Physical Properties on kG and kL When designing packed towers for nonreacting gas-absorption systems for which no experimental data are available, it is necessary to make corrections for differences in composition between the existing test data and the system in question. The ammonia-water test data (see Table 5-24-B) can be used to estimate HG, and the oxygen desorption data (see Table 5-24-A) can be used to estimate HL. The method for doing this is illustrated in Table 5-24-E. There is some conflict on whether the value of the exponent for the Schmidt number is 0.5 or 2/3 [Yadav and Sharma, Chem. Eng. Sci. 34, 1423 (1979)]. Despite this disagreement, this method is extremely useful, especially for absorption and stripping systems. 

Procedure 3 papain, leucine aminopeptidase, prolidase This early procedure for enzymic hydrolysis of proteins was reported by Hill and Schmidt (1962) to be successful for hydrolysis of several proteins. Papain was found to be superior to subtilisin or a combination of trypsin and chymotrypsin for the initial hydrolysis. The method might be improved if aminopeptidase M (discovered after the method was developed) is used in place of the leucine aminopeptidase, but to our knowledge this has not been tested. The problem with diketo-piperazine formation from X-Pro dipeptides in aminopeptidase M hydrolysates of peptides (see above) may make this substitution less desirable than it would seem at first. 

Schmidt and co-workers have also immobilized the mannose derivatives to the commercially available glass slides under reductive amination or acylation conditions [167], Their study showed that the ConA interaction was in accordance with those obtained in aqueous solution and other immobilization methods, and non-specific protein binding to the functionalized glass slides was negligible. The same carbohydrate microarray plate could also be tested for other lectins, therefore the precious immobilized carbohydrates can be reused. 

To be useful for risk assessment, the answers from all tests in a WOE approach should be made comparable, e.g. by a uniform scaling method, preferably without losing quantitative information (Burton et al., 2002 Schmidt et al., 2002). A continuous effect scale running from 0 to 1 (representing a quantitative measure for the fraction of effect on an ecosystem) seems to fulfil quantitative requirements. For this part, many methods are still in development and answers rely heavily on the experts using these methods. In addition, non-objective choices must be made because there is no comprehensive ecosystem theory available. Fortunately, because the Triad approach is based on a WOE procedure, mismatches can be picked up as results that are obviously out of the range, making evaluation and correction conceivable.
