Antimony pentafluoride, inserted into graphite to form the first stage insertion compound, is a mild and efficient solid superacid catalyst for the isomerization of alkanes to a thermodynamic equilibrium mixture at or below room temperature. Thus an equilibrium mixture of cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane (91 9) was obtained from either of the pure hydrocarbons, and ci5-decalin isomerized almost completely to the frarw-isomer. ... 

This approach may yield a result for that is superior to the simple test particle result if the overlap in the two distribution functions is significant. Contrarily, if the distributions do not overlap significantly, it is difficult to extract a reliable result from either the test particle or overlapping distribution formulae, and an alternative approach like thermodynamic integration or the staged insertion method is favored.

The full ab-initio molecular dynamics simulation revealed the insertion of ethylene into the Zr-C bond, leading to propyl formation. The dynamics simulations showed that this first step in ethylene polymerisation is extremely fast. Figure 2 shows the distance between the carbon atoms in ethylene and between an ethylene carbon and the methyl carbon, from which it follows that the insertion time is only about 170 fs. This observation suggests the absence of any significant barrier of activation at this stage of the polymerisation process, and for this catalyst. The absence or very small value of a barrier for insertion of ethylene into a bis-cyclopentadienyl titanocene or zirconocene has also been confirmed by static quantum simulations reported independently... 

Oxidative addition of alkyl halides to Pd(0) is slow. Furthermore, alkyl-Pd complexes, formed by the oxidative addition of alkyl halides, undergo facile elimination of /3-hydrogen and the reaction stops at this stage without undergoing insertion or transmetallation. Although not many examples are available, alkynyl iodides react with Pd(0) to form alkynylpalladium complexes.

A cell from a morula stage embryo is removed and then inserted into an oocyte that has had its nucleus removed. EoUowing fusion of the two cells the newly produced one-ceU embryo is identical to the original morula. The procedure can be repeated to give multiple copies of the original...

In addition, Ee protein-1 has at least two noncatalytic roles related to nitrogen fixation, and presumably Ee protein-2 and Ee protein-3 do also. The first function is somehow involved in the early stages of EeMo-cofactor biosynthesis because mutant strains having a deletion in nifil produce neither Ee protein nor EeMo-cofactor, rather only a EeMo-cofactor-deficient apo-MoEe protein (104,105). The second role involves insertion of preformed EeMo-cofactor into these apo-MoEe proteins (106). 

Barrel casings are used for high pressures in which the horizontally split joint is inadequate. This type of compressor consists of a barrel into which a compressor bundle of multiple stages is inserted. The bundle is itself a horizontally split casing compressor. 

The Bertrand lens, an auxiliary lens that is focused on the objective back focal plane, is inserted with the sample between fully crossed polarizers, and the sample is oriented to show the lowest retardation colors. This will yield interference figures, which immediately reveal whether the sample is uniaxial (hexagonal or tetragonal) or biaxial (orthorhombic, monoclinic, or triclinic). Addition of the compensator and proper orientation of the rotating stage will further reveal whether the sample is optically positive or negative.
