Static studies

All static studies at pressures beyond 25 GPa are done with diamond-anvil cells conceived independently by Jamieson [32] and by Weir etal [33]. In these variants of Bridgman s design, the anvils are single-crystal gem-quality diamonds, the hardest known material, truncated with small flat faces (culets) usually less than 0.5 nun in diameter. Diamond anvils with 50 pm diameter or smaller culets can generate pressures to about 500 GPa, the highest static laboratory pressures equivalent to the pressure at the centre of the Earth. 

In this study, the appearance and evolution sequence of planar slip bands, in addition to a dislocation cell structure with increasing e,, is identical to that observed in quasi-static studies of the effects of stress path changes on dislocation substructure development [27]. The substructure evolution in copper deformed quasi-statically is known to be influenced by changes in stress path [27]. Deforming a sample in tension at 90° orthogonal to the... 

Our "solution value is closer to the 60° mininimum from the statics study. Forcefields such as used by Mardsen et al. are solution equivalent (i.e. contain information on the interactions in aqueous solution). Therefore, their results are not for a truly isolated molecule, but might be expected to be equivalent to our solution model. To allow determinations of conformation in vacuum and other solvents, water information should not appear in the basic potentials. The presence of water information in force fields is a common problem.

The cationic Jt-allyl complex is often isolable and has been the subject of considerable study. X-ray structures of the 7t-allyl complexes with chiral ligands have been a primary source of structural information from which the design and predictive model of chiral catalysts derive. Chiral-metal-olefin complexes, which constitute another important class of intermediates have also been isolated, albeit few in number [31]. These static studies have been complemented by a growing number of NMR studies taking advantage of modem heteronuclear correlation and NOE techniques, which offer opportunities to monitor solution structures of the catalytic species [32-34],...

But what is perhaps more interesting is that, at the time of his most important activity, Barriol enumerated the techniques used in the theoretical laboratory of Nancy to solve the problem of three-dimensional structural studies on isolated molecules, static studies on associated solutions, and dynamic studies of associations. They were five techniques explicitly mentioned by Barriol, four experimental and one theoretical. Theoretical calculations are situated on the same level as the four experimental techniques, which included dielectric polarization, nuclear magnetic resonance, microwave spectrography, and dielectric relaxation. [54]... 

Nevertheless, the dynamical study of the elementary processes occuring in the course of a reaction remains useful and complementary to the static study of the potential surface, even though it is incomplete and does not lead to the reaction rate. In particular, the comparison of dynamical trajectories with the static minimum-energy path is very instructive. As we mentioned in Chap. A for CHj + H2— the initial conditions seem to play a crucial part in the shape of dynamical trajectories only certain specific initial conditions lead to trajectories close to the minimum energy path most dynamical trajectories are much more complex than this path. Furthermore, deviations may result from the fact that for a given potential surface in several dimensions the optimum path is most often drawn approximately under the assumption that the evolution of the system can be represented by the sliding of a mass point on the potential surface. This model is generally unsuitable for constrained systems ... 

The static study requir consideration of three main geometrical parameters the angle of ring opening CCC (= 2 a) and the rotation angles for both terminal methylene groups ( 1 and 62)- The other (secondary) parameters are either held constant or varied in a conventional way. 

The dynamical study of the coupling between the modes of ring opening (and closure) and the modes of rotation of the methylene groups of a cyclopropane molecule in the course of isomerization reactions confirms essentially the two main conclusions of the static study ... 

The dynamical study of mechanistic details in organic reactions is complementary to the static study of the potential energy surface. It furnishes a supplement of information which cannot be obtained from the static surface alone. 

As the design of adsorptive filters is difficult and complexed, and proper infarma-tions are not always sufficient, the best solution to establish the work parameters of filters is to test a series of carbons on a pilot - scale in dynamic conditions. The studies are expensive and time-consuming, thus it is proposed to evaluate granular carbons in static conditions according to some tests [25—29]. Further studies may be conducted in dynamic conditions. It seems, that the best solution, is to carry out comparable studies of both static and dynamic adsorption which give a possibility to predict a behaviour of carbons in dynamic conditions basing on static studies.

The above examples demonstrate the complexity of metalworking lubrication and also give evidence that mechanical activity at metalworking surfaces promotes chemical reactions and produces a surface chemistry that may be entirely different from that observed in static studies, i.e. those activated predominantly by temperature. The metalworking process itself initiates and accelerates chemical reactions which would otherwise take place only at much higher temperatures or not at all and such enhanced surface activity might be represented as follows [87] ...

In static studies of gas adsorption, the carbon usually is degassed or outgassed before the adsorption.1,2 To do this, the carbon is heated at a temperature within the range 300° to 900° C, and then cooled the entire process is conducted under high vacuum. McBain6 found that degassing alters the isotherm to a type in which nearly all the adsorption occurs at very low pressures. Degassing also increases the rate of adsorption, and equilibrium conditions are attained without the delay often encountered otherwise.

The highly doped structures referred to in the description of static lattice simulations (Section 5.3) as PAKl and PAK2 have also been investigated by MD by Sese and her colleagues. " As in the static studies the electronic charge transferred from the dopant atoms was distributed uniformly on the carbon atoms, which therefore bear net charges of -0.25e and -0.125e, respectively in the two species. 

In static studies using the clay montmorillonite, surfactant adsorption as a function of blend composition was examined. It was found that when the blend consisted of more than 30% DPOS, total adsorption was suppressed, again consistent with reduction of adsorption when charge repulsion between surface and surfactant is increased. 

In HPLC-PDA studies, Grego et al. first reported on the use of derivative spectroscopy for the analysis of aromatic amino acids in peptides and proteins [23], extending the static studies of Balestrieri et al. [21] to separations-based analyses of mixtures. First, derivative spectra for a set of model peptides and... 

The latest model of Microscal s FMC incorporates the new Calorimetric Digital Output and Sequencer, CALDOS 3, which provides simple access to the output data from the instrument and any downstream devices employed with it. In addition, CALDOS 3 offers control of the fluid delivery devices, the valves which run the experiment, and automated calibration facilities for both flow and for static studies. 

Obviously these developments will not be possible by relying on electrochemistry only. Indeed, as we have explained above, electrochemistry is a splendid and powerful tool for the unravelling of mechanistic intricacies that are hardly accessible to other physicochemical methods. However, its Achilles heel is the fact that electrochemistry is rather blind to chemical structures. Transient electrochemical methods will certainly be able to establish with a considerable subtlety how an intermediate reacts, yet for the most cases they will not be able to tell the structure of this intermediate. This requires then its use in conjunction with other chemical techniques and strategies. In this respect, the knowtei e based on structural (viz. static) studies will certainly be valuable. However, the coupling of dynamic electrochemical techniques with "dassicar spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, ESR, etc) seems also highly worthwhile and desirable. It is then one of the interests of this NATO ARW Conference to have provided several drcumstances where these aspects have been examined and discussed. 

The majority of hemocompatibility studies are performed under static conditions, but some groups considered the effect of flow on platelet adhesion in dynamic experiments. As one example, randomly structured PMMA surfaces with feature sizes of 40 nm, 80 nm, and 400 nm and heights of 3nm, 13 nm, and 50 nm were investigated under flow conditions [108,109], Experiments with human whole blood showed a preferred adsorption of vWF compared to that of fibrinogen and albumin, which is in conflict with other static studies. It is apparent that different adsorption behaviors of plasma proteins can be observed under different flow conditions. The platelet adhesion was highest on those samples with the most vWF adhesion, namely the larger structures. Experiments were carried out with washed platelets and revealed other results. Platelets preferred the smaller structured surfaces for adhesion, which shows the severe influence of blood cells and plasma proteins on the adhesion behavior of platelets [108].
