Vehicle fuel economy is normally measured in miles per gallon. At any given instant, it depends on the energy content of a gallon of fuel (Qf), the vehicle velocity (V.,) and power required (P,-5q), the thermal efficiency with which the engine converts fuel energy into useful output work (rj,.), and the mechanical efficiency with which the driveline delivers that work to the vehicle wheels (r j). Specifically,... 

Enzymes do two important things they recognize very specific substrates, and they perform specific chemical reactions on them at fantastic speeds. The way they accomplish all this can be described by a number of different models, each one of which accounts for some of the behavior that enzymes exhibit. Most enzymes make use of all these different mechanisms of specificity and/or catalysis. In the real world, some or all of these factors go into making a given enzyme work with exquisite specificity and blinding speed. 

Different languages have different mechanisms to indicate exceptions return values, exception objects thrown, signals raised, and so on. For specification purposes, you can work with any of these, including some language-neutral mechanisms (such as return val-... 

The molecules of a gas are not, except perhaps in very special instances, brought into a chemically active condition by mere mechanical impact with the solid surface. The highly specific action of different surfaces, illustrated for example by the hundreds of examples quoted in Sabatier s work La Catalyse en Chimie Organique, at once rules out so simple an hypothesis. 

The currently accepted mechanism for the hydrolysis of amides and esters catalyzed by the archetypal serine protease chymotrypsin involves the initial formation of a Michaelis complex followed by the acylation of Ser-195 to give an acylenzyme (Chapter 1) (equation 7.1). Much of the kinetic work with the enzyme has been directed toward detecting the acylenzyme. This work can be used to illustrate the available methods that are based on pre-steady state and steady state kinetics. The acylenzyme accumulates in the hydrolysis of activated or specific ester substrates (k2 > k3), so that the detection is relatively straightforward. Accumulation does not occur with the physiologically relevant peptides (k2 < k3), and detection is difficult. 

One way to apply MIP membranes for separations is to construct them as selectively permeable membranes. Since a membrane with large pores (compared to the molecular size of the template and the interferents) is necessarily easily permeable for all these substances, selective permeability may only be expected from nonporous membranes or membranes with very small pores. Work with selectively permeable nonporous MIP membranes has been limited and the underlying mechanisms may hardly be categorized as adsorption. Therefore a more specific recent review (M. Ulbricht in [3], p 455) should be consulted in this respect. 

The most significant difference between emulsions (opaque) and microemulsions (transparent) lies in the fact that stirring or increasing the emulsifier concentration usually improves the stability of coarse emulsion. This is not the case with microemulsions - their formation depends on specific interactions among the constituent molecules. If these interactions are not realized, neither intensive stirring nor increasing the emulsifier concentration will produce a microemulsion. On the other hand, once the conditions are right, spontaneous formation occurs and little mechanical work is required [26].
