Species operational

The selectivity of an electrophile, measured by the extent to which it discriminated either between benzene and toluene, or between the meta- and ara-positions in toluene, was considered to be related to its reactivity. Thus, powerful electrophiles, of which the species operating in Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions were considered to be examples, would be less able to distinguish between compounds and positions than a weakly electrophilic reagent. The ultimate electrophilic species would be entirely insensitive to the differences between compounds and positions, and would bring about reaction in the statistical ratio of the various sites for substitution available to it. The idea has gained wide acceptance that the electrophiles operative in reactions which have low selectivity factors Sf) or reaction constants (p+), are intrinsically more reactive than the effective electrophiles in reactions which have higher values of these parameters. However, there are several aspects of this supposed relationship which merit discussion. 

The vapor pressure of volatile compounds, measured in atmospheres (or millimeters of mercury), varies with temperature. For example, the vapor pressure of acetone increases from 200 to 400 mmHg with a temperature rise from +20 to +40 °C, and that of w-heptane from 100 to 400 mmHg with a temperature change from +40 to +80 °C (e.g. Adams et ah, 1970). The half-lives of several acetates decreased by two- to fourfold when the temperature was raised from 20 to 30 °C (McDonough etal., 1989). In temperate latitudes, temperatures can vary from about 40 to 0 °C within 24 hours. Therefore, it is important to know the vapor pressure of a given compound for the ambient temperatures under which a particular animal species operates. Diurnal and nocturnal animals may have selected different signal compounds (or mixtures). Do polar and tropical species differ in their choice of compounds for communication. Have cold-climate... 

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center transplanted hearts from genetically altered pigs into baboons, proving that cross-species operations are possible. Later, the first baboon-to-human bone marrow transplant was performed on an AIDS patient. 

The development of human pharmaceutical medicines has progressed significantly over the last twenty-five years. This has also been accompanied by a similar expansion in the development and range of pharmaceutical products available to the veterinary profession for the treatment and control of animal diseases. As with human medicines, veterinary medicines have to undergo extensive evaluation for efficacy and safety (target species, operator and consumer) to ensure that they are both effective and safe to use. The residues of these drugs that may be present in edible tissues, for some time following treatment, are of concern for those involved in consumer protection. 

Here, the integration over X was performed in Eq. (63) to define W%a (X, ) which is the integrated value of the combination of the spectral density function with the time independent operator. This spectral density function contains the quantum equilibrium structure of the system. (X, t) is the time evolved matrix element of the number operator for the product state B. Thus, to calculate the rate, one samples initial configurations from the quantum equilibrium distribution, and then computes the evolution of the number operator for product state B. The QCL evolution of the species operator is accomplished using one of the algorithms discussed in Sec. 3.2. Alternative approaches to the dynamics may also be used such as the further approximations to the QCLE discussed in Sec. 4. 

The metal thiolate species are more reactive towards the coordinating monothiocarbonate monomer during the polymerisation presented by scheme (20) than the corresponding metal alcoholate species operating in ethylene carbonate polymerisation [scheme (15)]. 

The time resolution of the system was measured and found to be about 1 ns. This value was mainly dominated by the pulse width of the ion beam. In fact, because in some cases the pulse width of the ion beam and the transit time jitter of the ion have larger values caused by many factors (ion energy and species, operating conditions of the accelerator and the pulsing system, the type of beam pick up, etc.). 

The idea that the same cofactor species operated in all Mo enzymes originated from a reconstitution assay. In this assay method, the isolated Moco from one enzyme, such as XO, is inserted into a cofactor-free mutant (Nit-1) of nitrate reductase from Neuraspora crassa, where it can reactivate or reconstitute normal nitrate reductase catalytic activity. It is now recognized that the Mo at the active site has many different coordination environments, as has been illustrated for the three Mo families in Fig. 1. In this context, the mutant nitrate reductase assay experiment is interpreted as involving some reprocessing of the inserted molybdenum cofactor from foreign enzymes to obtain the correct form of the cofactor for nitrate reductase catalysis. The Moco designation, if it is to be used, must refer to the family of sites present in Moco enzymes. 

Another old mystery in heterogeneous catalysis, dating back to F. H. Constable (1925) and G.-M. Schwab (1929), was the compensation effect or theta rule. The Arrhenius plots for similar reactants on the same catalyst or for the same reactant on similar catalysts would differ in slope across a common point of intersection. Approximately 70 years later, a First Workshop on the Compensation Effect was organized (DECHEMA, Berlin, 1997) to debate this enduring mystery. Werner Haag demonstrated that such an effect must necessarily result from the temperature dependence of reactant adsorption (and hence its site concentration) and that of the reaction rate of the adsorbed species, operating in opposite directions. A second workshop may never follow ... 

We consider a system in which only one coordinate, Rq, is directly coupled to the quantum subsystem and this coordinate serves as the reaction coordinate, (i ) = Rq. The coordinate Rq is, in turn, coupled to a bath. The A and B species operators may be defined as Naw = and... 

In the electrochemical conversion of hydrocarbons the NEMCA (non-faradaic electrochemical modification of catalytic activity) effect has been reported frequently over metal anodes [13] and rarely over metal oxide anodes [14]. The NEMCA effect is known to promote the rate of oxidation and, to the knowledges of the authors, such enhancement in catalytic activity is generally observed over the metal anodes which have original catalytic activity, e.g. Pt, Pd, Rh and Ag, and is also observed as a non-linear function of the electric current. In the present study, we observed an almost linear increase of activity with increase in the electric current. Lacking a reference electrode, it is beyond the scope of this work to elaborate on the work function of the anode material. However, it is likely that the contribution of the NEMCA effect is neglisible and the electrochemically generated ooxygen species operates in the partial oxidation of alkanes.
