Simplification, defined

ChemicalAbstracts indexes cephalosporins as 5-thia-l-azabicydo[4.2.0]oct-2-enes. Using this system then, cephalosporin C [61 -24-5]> C1(5H21N3OgS, (2) is 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7- [(5-amino-5-carboxy-l-oxopentyl)amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-l-azabicyclo [4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid Such names are too cumbersome for general use. One simplification defines the ring system of the cephalosporins as cepham (3) (1). Hence cephalosporins become 3-acetoxymethyl-7-acylamino-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids. In this widely used nomenclature system, the numbering, as shown in structure (3), differs from that used by Chemical Abstracts shown in structure (2). In both systems, however, the important C-7, C-6, and C-3 positions remain unchanged. The cephem numbering system (3) is used herein. 

The effective nuclear kinetic energy operator due to the vector potential is formulated by multiplying the adiabatic eigenfunction of the system, t t(/ , r) with the HLH phase exp(i/2ai ctan(r/R)), and operating with T R,r), as defined in Eq. fl), on the product function and after little algebraic simplification, one can obtain the following effective kinetic energy operator. 

Reduction can now be defined as a process in which electrons are acquired and oxidation a process in which electrons are released. These definitions are often difficult to remember and the following simplification may be helpful ... 

No fixed rules can be given it is up to the experience of the engineer to judge the necessary steps. Good advice, however, is to define a model with only the flow feature of concern, to test several levels of simplification on this model, and to decide from these numerical experiments the level of simplification for the full model under investigation. 

If the mixing is "perfect," tlie estuary behavior may be approximated by what chemical engineers define as a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) (5). However, accurately estimating the time and spatial beliavior of water quality in estuaries is complicated by the effects of tidal motion as just described. The upstream and downstream currents produce substantial variations of water quality at certain points in the estuary, and tlie calculation of such variation is indeed a complicated problem. How ei er, the following simplifications provide some reiiitirkably useful results in estimating the distribution of estuarine water quality. 

If the definition of work is limited to mechanical work, an interesting simplification is possible. In this case, AE is merely the heat exchanged at constant volume. This is so because if the volume is constant, no mechanical work can be done on or by the system. Then AE = q. Thus AE is a very useful quantity in constant volume processes. However, chemical and especially biochemical processes and reactions are much more likely to be carried out at constant pressure. In constant pressure processes, AE is not necessarily equal to the heat transferred. For this reason, chemists and biochemists have defined a function that is especially suitable for constant pressure processes. It is called the enthalpy, H, and it is defined as... 

All testing has to be related to environmental conditions whose characteristics must be defined. The relation of accelerated corrosion test condition to real service conditions is one aspect while another is defining classes of environment and relating them to characteristic corrosion performance in order to produce useful specification guidelines. BS5493 1977 is an attempt to do this using four categories appropriate primarily to the UK (Table 13.2). Such a classification is clearly an over-simplification, but represents an important step in this particular direction. 

The result can be simplified by making use of the above-defined pinch-off voltage [Eq. (14.54)1 and dielectric capacitance of the semiconducting layer. Further simplifications result from the assumptions that Cs 2> C, (Eq. (14.57)), and that the dopant and carrier concentrations arc equal (Eq. (14.58)). 

The values of sA and. ru are not well defined by kinetic data.59 61 The wide variation in. vA and for MMA-S copolymerization shown in Table 7.5 reflects the large uncertainties associated with these values, rather than differences in the rate data for the various experiments. Partly in response to this, various simplifications to the implicit penultimate model have been used (e.g. rA3rBA= W- and -Va=- h)- These problems also prevent trends in the values with monomer structure from being established. 

Clearly, the maximum degree of simplification of the problem is achieved by using the greatest possible number of fundamentals since each yields a simultaneous equation of its own. In certain problems, force may be used as a fundamental in addition to mass, length, and time, provided that at no stage in the problem is force defined in terms of mass and acceleration. In heat transfer problems, temperature is usually an additional fundamental, and heat can also be used as a fundamental provided it is not defined in terms of mass and temperature and provided that the equivalence of mechanical and thermal energy is not utilised. Considerable experience is needed in the proper use of dimensional analysis, and its application in a number of areas of fluid flow and heat transfer is seen in the relevant chapters of this Volume. 

As a simplification, it was assumed that the interactions between charged oligomeric segments were negligible. These redox data correlate well with potential values obtained by extrapolation from quantum ma hanical calculations and redox potential measurements on oligomers of defined chain length. As expected,... 

Using the digital simulation approach to steady-state design, the design calculation is shown to proceed naturally from the defining component balance and energy balance equations, giving a considerable simplification to conventional text book approaches. 

A problem with the solution of initial-value differential equations is that they always have to be solved iteratively from the defined initial conditions. Each time a parameter value is changed, the solution has to be recalculated from scratch. When simulations involve uptake by root systems with different root orders and hence many different root radii, the calculations become prohibitive. An alternative approach is to try to solve the equations analytically, allowing the calculation of uptake at any time directly. This has proved difficult becau.se of the nonlinearity in the boundary condition, where the uptake depends on the solute concentration at the root-soil interface. Another approach is to seek relevant model simplifications that allow approximate analytical solutions to be obtained. 

The absorbed dose is usually defined as the mean absorbed dose within an organ or tissue. This represents a simplification of the actual problem. Normally when an individual ingests or inhales a radionuclide or is... 

The mathematical model describing the two-phase dynamic system consists of modeling of the flow and description of its boundary conditions. The description of the flow is based on the conservation equations as well as constitutive laws. The latter define the properties of the system with a certain degree of idealization, simplification, or empiricism, such as equation of state, steam table, friction, and heat transfer correlations (see Sec. 3.4). A typical set of six conservation equations is discussed by Boure (1975), together with the number and nature of the necessary constitutive laws. With only a few general assumptions, these equations can be written, for a one-dimensional (z) flow of constant cross section, without injection or suction at the wall, as follows. 

Dyson introduces a series of mathematical and physical simplifications and then reaches his important conclusions. These involve the reciprocal relationship of three parameters when these are chosen, the model is completely defined. The parameters are ... 

Fortunately, in the case of a rotational diffusion tensor with axial symmetry (such molecules are denoted "symmetric top"), some simplification occurs. Let us introduce new notations D// = Dz and D = Dx = Dy. Furthermore, we shall define effective correlation times ... 

The spin Hamiltonian for the hydrogen atom will be used to determine the energy levels in the presence of an external magnetic field. As indicated in Section II.A, the treatment may be simplified if it is recognized that the g factor and the hyperfine constant are essentially scalar quantities in this particular example. An additional simplification results if the z direction is defined as the direction of the magnetic field. For this case H = Hz and Hx = Hv = 0 hence,...
