Structural entity representative

As shown in Fig. 7.2, each XML file will be represented by an instance of the class DocumentVersion. The version history of the files can be indicated by the relations hasPredecessor and hasSuccessor, as explained in Subsect. 2.3.3. The hasContent relation is employed to denote the contents of the XML files through concepts from the OntoCAPE ontology (cf. Subsect. 2.3.4). A finer-grained description can be obtained by decomposing each file into its structural entities, represented through instances of the Product class, and... 

Scheme 6 shows representative members of these three groups. Other combinations are possible and the design of an appropriate bielectrophile for use as a versatile synthon presents a considerable synthetic challenge, as by virtue of the structural entities involved they are extremely reactive. 

Let us consider a template, i.e., the average representative particle or the average representative structural entity in a material with polydisperse structure. The template is described by its structure pr (r). The sample is full of dilated images... 

D Structural Entities. In materials science, stmctural entities which can satisfactorily be represented by layer stacks are ubiquitous. In the field of polymers they have been known for a long time [156], Similar is the microfibrillar [157] structure. Compared to the microfibrils, the layer stacks are distinguished by the large lateral extension of their constituting domains. Both entities share the property that their two-phase structure is predominantly described by a ID density function, Ap (r3), which is varying along the principal axis, r3, of the structural entity. 

In Eq. (9.11) polydispersity of the structural entities is considered, and the average intensity Iopt describes the perfectly oriented representative structural entity in our material. It is coupled to the other quantity that is of interest - the orientation distribution g(tp, y/,(p ) - here written in another parameterization of the rotation, with the extra

Figure 9.5. 3D geometrical relations in the scattering pattern for the case of double fiber symmetry (F2). Dash-dotted are both the axis of the observed pattern, I, and one of its reflection circles. Drawn in solid line are both the axis of a tilted representative structural entity and a reflection circle of its fiber-symmetrical intensity, Iopt. Important for the simplification are the relations in the spherical triangle plotted in bold... 

The decision whether we are dealing with an epitaxial or catalytic association is thus structurally determined. Catalysis represents a flow of epitaxial associations, whereas epitaxis is dependent on a frozen-in transition structure, ie. the presence of a morphological catalyst. Adsorbent and solid state substrate become a new structural entity. Only removal or stripping of the adsorbent will reactivate the morphological catalyst. 

In conclusion thermal degradation studies on Nautilus pompilius indicate that mineralizing matrix and aragonite shell represent a true structural entity. By the sharing of oxygens in protein and mineral lattices we will generate phase boundaries of the type that are present, for instance, in the common clay mineral kaolinite. Here, aluminum octahedra and silica tetrahedra incorporate the same oxygens and hydroxyls, and layers composed of octahedra and tetrahedra arise (Fig. 13). 

Figure 5.11 Illustrations of possible water structure at hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. Bulk water is shown by pentagonal and partial pentagonal circuits, which indicate structural entities being in equilibrium with monomeric water represented by arrows. Dipole-dipole interaction at a hydrophilic surface causes ordering of water molecules, leading to a notable disordered zone. Water molecules at a hydrophobic surface have extensive clathrate-like structure with a minimal disordered zone. From Nguyen and Schulze [53]. Copyright 2004, Dekker.

The three-dimensional structure is the most unique description of a chemical compound. That is why chemical entities should be compared on the basis of their structure as represented in a connection table, not on their common or nomenclature name. Comparison of structures, however, requires that mentions of chemical entities in text are translated into connection tables this is typically done by name-to-structure (N2S) tools. On a conference on chemical information in Sitges (International Chemistry Information Conference [ICIC]) 2007), preliminary data on attempts at benchmarking N2S tools were reported 46 Although this analysis is preliminary and care should be taken to avoid drawing conclusions that are not supported by the analysis, these data suggest that the N2S tools currently available are correctly converting only between 30% and 50% of all named entities. 

Now that some methods for investigating the structure of the ion-solvent complex in solution have been described, it is time to learn systematically what is known about it. One can start by considering systems that avoid the complexity of liquid water. By varying the partial pressure of water vapor while keeping it low (0.1-lOkPa), it is possible to find the equilibrium constant between water vapor and the entities represented by a number of ion-solvent aggregates, M(H20), in the gas phase (Kebarle and GodMe, 1968). 

The equilibrium geometry of any given molecular entity represents the bottom of the global minimum in the potential energy surface. Quantum chemical methods can efficiently evaluate this set of nuclear coordinates. It must be understood however, that the equilibrium structure at one level of theory will typically differ from that at another level. There is a substantial literature that deals, for example, with the effect of basis set upon molecular geometry. 

Tables 3-1 through 3-3 contain data on which empirical calculations of chemical shifts can be made. The tables represent a fraction of the data available on the fundamental alkane, alkene, and aromatic structures. Moreover, corrections must be applied in order to avoid nonadditivity caused primarily by steric effects. Thus, three groups on a single carbon atom, two large groups cis to each other on a double bond, or any two ortho groups can cause deviations from the parameters listed in the tables. If sufficient model compounds are available, the corrections shown can be applied. Further empirical calculations are possible for any structural entity, so that the eclipsing strain in cyclobutanes, the variety of steric interactions in cyclopentanones, or the variations in angle strain in norbornanes may be taken into account.

All scattering phenomena (light, x-rays and neutrons) can be interpreted in terms of this equation (B 1.9.5). These techniques differ mainly in the structural entities that contribute to the Kj term. For light, the refractive index or polarizability is the principal contributor for x-rays, the electron density is the contributor and for neutrons, the nature of the scattering nucleus is the contributor. Equation (B1.9.5) thus represents a starting point for the discussion of the interference problem presented below.
