Side-on observation

From these integral values, however, the values at a well-defined radial distance away from the plasma center can be calculated. This necessitates side-on observation along several parallel axes, which are equidistant with respect to each other and an Abel-inversion. Indeed, when I (x) is the first derivative of the function I(x), describing the variation of a measured value as a function of the lateral position (x) during side-on observation (Fig. 4), the radial values at a distance r are given by ... 

The author has often wondered how often machines are redesigned and rebuilt or even replaced for reasons that were later found to be incorrect. Based on observations over a considerable number of years, the number might be staggering. Ironically, the incorrect diagnosis sometimes results in a solution that will at least for the time being appear to fix the problem. This type of solution may possibly lead to a future problem because an incorrect symptom-cause relationship is established that will not hold true on another application at another time. All of this is being said to stress the need for proper and careful problem solving that accurately determines the real cause for the problem. It is difficult to address the common sense side of reliability and not make some type of... 

The upper half of Figure 3.9 represents how a spherical explosive charge of diameter d produces a blast wave of side-on peak overpressure P and positive-phase duration r" " at a distance R from the charge center. Experimental observations show that an explosive charge of diameter Kd produces a blast wave of identical side-on peak overpressure p and positive-phase duration Kt at a distance KR from the charge center. (This situation is represented in the lower half of Figure 3.9.) Consequently,... 

TNT-equi valency methods express explosive potential of a vapor cloud in terms of a charge of TNT. TNT-blast characteristics are well known fiom empirical data both in the form of blast parameters (side-on peak overpressure and positive-phase duration) and of corresponding damage potential. Because the value of TNT-equiva-lency used for blast modeling is directly related to damage patterns observed in major vapor cloud explosion incidents, the TNT-blast model is attractive if overall damage potential of a vapor cloud is the only concern. 

The BLEVE of the spheres probably shifted a number of cylindrical vessels from their foundations. Furthermore, it probably produced damage in the built-up area. However, because destruction by intense fire in that area was complete, this cannot be confirmed. Beyond a range of 300 m, no glass damage due to blast was observed. This indicates that the side-on overpressure at that range was well below 3 kPa (0.03 bar), which is a nondimensional pressure /, of 0.04. 

A number of transition-metal complexes of RNSO ligands have been structurally characterized. Three bonding modes, r(A,5), o-(5)-trigonal and o (5 )-pyramidal, have been observed (Scheme 9.1). Side-on (N,S) coordination is favoured by electron-rich (et or j °) metal centers, while the ff(S)-trigonal mode is preferred for less electron-rich metal centres (or those with competitive strong r-acid co-ligands). As expected ti (N,S)... 

During the early development of the Jacobsen-Katsuki epoxidation reaetion, it was elear that trans-disubstituted olefins were very poor substrates (slow reaetion rates, low enantioseleetivity) eompared to cis-disubstituted olefins. The side-on approaeh model originally proposed by Groves for porphyrin epoxidation systems was used to rationalize the differenees observed in the epoxidation of the cis and trans-disubstituted elasses (Seheme 1.4.7). ... 

This model prediets that tri-substituted and tetra-substituted olefins would also be poor substrates. Thus it was not until 1994 that a study in the epoxidation of higher substituted olefins appeared. Indeed Jaeobsen revealed that tri-substituted olefins, and even tetra-substituted olefins ean be excellent substratesA new model was put forth that encompasses a skewed side-on approach of tri-substituted olefins to the Mn-oxo eomplex. The observation that certain tetrasubstituted olefins undergo epoxidation with good enantioseleetivity suggests that further studies are needed in order to fully understand the transition state geometry of the catalyst and substrate. 

A model consistent with the stereochemical outcome of the reaction and with the role of the halide has been proposed (Fig. 10). This model suggests side-on olefin binding and reorganization of the halide ligands. In such geometry, a steric interaction between the unbound olefin and apical halide may justify the dramatic increase in enantioselectivity observed upon changing the halide from cr to r. 

In a concerted reaction, orbital and state symmetry is conserved throughout the course of the reaction. Thus a symmetric orbital in butadiene must transform into a symmetric orbital in cyclobutene and an antisymmetric orbital must transform into an antisymmetric orbital. In drawing the correlation diagram, molecular orbitals of one symmetry on one side of the diagram are connected to orbitals of the same symmetry on the other side, while observing the noncrossing rule. 

It is also important to predict the in vivo biliary excretion clearance in humans, and for this purpose MDCK II cell lines expressing both uptake and efflux transporters may be used (Fig. 12.3) [92, 93]. It has been shown that MRP2 is expressed on the apical membrane, whereas OATP2 and 8 are expressed on the basolateral membrane after cDNA transfection (Fig. 12.3) [92, 93]. The transcellular transport across such double-transfected cells may correspond to the excretion of ligands from blood into bile across hepatocytes. Indeed, the vectorial transport from the basal to apical side was observed for pravastatin only in OATP2- and MRP2-expressing... 

Compounds (L)AuC=CR can appear as ligands in the coordination sphere of transition metals. The interaction may be fluxional with metal-metal contacts M-Au and the alkyne coordinated side-on (if, dihapto) to the gold atom. Typical examples are (cp)(CO)(NO)W[Ph3PAuC=C Bu 90 and l, c3(CO)9[R3PAuC=CtBu], with R = Ph, Pr, for which several isomers have been observed in solution.91... 

Phosphonium ylides, which can be written in the two familiar canonical forms, are available with a wide variety of substituents both at the phosphorus and at the carbon atoms (Scheme 30). In gold complexes, without any exceptions, they function as two-electron donors, as proposed by the dipolar form to give discrete Au-C cr-bonds (771, monohapto). No side-on, 7r-coordination (t 2), as might be expected out of the ylene form, has been observed to date. 

On the experimental side the observed thermally activated transition from Mu to Mu (Holzschuh et al., 1982 Odermatt et al., 1988) is important in two respects. First, it demonstrates conclusively that, at least in diamond, Mu is metastable with Mu being the stable configuration. Figure 10 shows the lifetime broadening of the Mu signal (depolarization... 

Infrared absorption of an unstable hydroperoxo species had been observed at 230 K by Tozzola et al. (63). A peak at 886 cm-1, strongly overlapping the peak at 877 cm-1 attributed to physisorbed H202, was attributed to TiOOH (771 end-on coordination), although a band at 837 cm-1 was assigned to anionic triangular Ti(02) (side-on coordination).
