Stabilities local

The competition between these two terms produces a large variety of electronic structures in molecular systems. The condition l U favors itinerant metallic states, whereas the condition t insulating states. In the latter case, the Hubbard Hamiltonian is reduced to the Heisenberg Hamiltonian... 

Some of the compounds, like propranolol, la-betalol, pindolol and metoprolol, have membrane-stabilizing, local anaesthetic properties, which can,... 

The alkali metals share many common features, yet differences in size, atomic number, ionization potential, and solvation energy leads to each element maintaining individual chemical characteristics. Among K, Na, and Li compounds, potassium compounds are more ionic and more nucleophilic. Potassium ions form loose or solvent-separated ion pairs with counteranions in polar solvents. Large potassium cations tend to stabilize delocalized (soft) anions in transition states. In contrast, lithium compounds are more covalent, more soluble in nonpolar solvents, usually existing as aggregates (tetramers and hexamers) in the form of tight ion pairs. Small lithium cations stabilize localized (hard) counteranions (see Lithium and lithium compounds). Sodium chemistry is intermediate between that of potassium and lithium (see Sodium and sodium alloys). 

The versatility of transition-metal-ligand combinations in stabilizing localized, partially localized and delocalized cluster bonding is evident in the three examples discussed to this point. But we still have no analog of a late metal-carbonyl cluster that follows the main-group counting paradigm for an octahedral shape. Centered zirconium chloride clusters provide an example of an octahedral cluster with seven... 

Various bacterial vectors have been used to express a number of bacterial B. pertussis, S. pneumoniae, Y. pestis, and L. monocytogenes), viral (herpesvirus, influenza virus, human immunodeficiency virus, simian immunodeficiency virus, and hepatitis B virus), and parasitic (5. mansoni, and L. major) antigens. Significant improvements in attenuation of bacteria, and the stability, localization, and expression levels of heterologous antigens are required to market the bacterial vector-based vaccines for use in humans or animals. 

Parr and Zhou have pointed out that the relationship between hardness and stability can be extended to atomic nuclei. The hardness is defined as half the difference between the highest filled nuclear energy level and the lowest empty one. This difference is greatest for closed-shell nuclei compared with the neighboring open-shell nuclei. Shells can be identified by the magic numbers 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126. Hardness seems to be a general measure of stability. Local maxima can be used to locate shell and sub-shell structure. ...

The use of immobilized enzymes normally offers several advantages over free enzymes, such as increased stability, localization, and retention of the molecules at the material surface, which enables easier handling, repeated use, and decreased cost. Other important advantages of using... 

This remarkable ring-expansion reaction is the only route so far known to a seven-membered ring complex which does not start from a seven-membered ring hydrocarbon. The reaction may well be related mechanistically to the ring collapse of [C7H7Cr(CO)3] (Section II, A), with metal-stabilized, localized carbonium ion intermediates, e.g.,...

Other techniques for making waveguides use localized control of molecular orientation to create a selectively defined molecularly oriented waveguide region. These oriented molecules can later be crossUnked for stability. Localized photo-oxidative crosslinking reactions can also create waveguide regions.
