Random and structured packings are susceptible to surface fouling due to process conditions and/or the presence of oxygen as may be related to bacterial growth. Some systems will precipitate solids or crystals from solution usually due to the temperature and concentration effects. Bravo [135] discusses air-water stripping and illus-... 

The examination of the vco bands in the 2200-2179 cm region at room temperature reveals that Cr(II) sites are distributed in two basic structural configurations, namely CrA and Cre. These results confirm fhe view illus-frafed before concerning the structural complexity of the Cr(ll) system. CrA sites seem to correspond to the first family of chromates represented in Scheme 4, while Cre sites correspond to a family characterized by a larger aocro bond angle. It is important to underline here that, when we speak about CrA and Cre sites, we are referring to two families of structures instead of simply to two different well-defined sites. 

Alkali metal organonitrogen chemistry is a fertile field of research boasting an ever-burgeoning variety of structural types, including not just clusters in the traditional sense but also rings, ladders, chains, etc. Even to review clusters alone would be a substantial task and not feasible to complete in a chapter of this limited size. Therefore what follows in the next section is firstly an introduction to commonly observed cluster motifs in metal nitrogen compounds, chosen because they illus-... 

The visual hallucinations are often composed of extremely vivid colors of geometric patterns, such as cones, spirals, or cobweb-Uke structures. Other types of hallucinations are possible. A true hallucination involves the belief by the individual that the (altered) sensations and perceptions actually represent reality. However, generally the person abusing LSD and related drugs retains the ability to test reality versus illusion and knows that the experience is not real. Thus, the... 

Many cultures have discovered plants with the power to potentiate visual illusions and/or hallucinations, and used them in religious or tribal rituals. In some cases we know the molecular structure of the active ingredients, and in all of these cases the similarity to the brain molecules that impede or release dreaming is striking. 

The specific gravity of mica never exceeds 3 00 and this oircmnstencc, together with its foliated structure, is quite sufficient to distinguish it from., gold, which it somewhat resembles in oolor but even in this latter particular, the microscope will dispol the illusion. 

The 3-sheet is another form of secondary structure in which all of the peptide bond components are involved in hydrogen bonding (Figure 2.7A). The surfaces of 3-sheets appear "pleated," and these structures are, therefore, often called "P-pleated sheets." When illus trations are made of protein structure, 3-strands are often visualized as broad arrows (Figure 2.7B). 

Numerous biological supramolecular structures result from self-assembly and living systems offer the ultimate in self-organization [9.4-9.8]. They provide illus-... 

The interesting question concerns the justifications within the subset, the justifications of simple sentences which fix the reference of words and thereby constitute the structure of reality. Can sentences like This is a dog be justified and yet false Yes, in two different ways. The first way is when the justification procedure is not executed properly. I may fall victim to an illusion, or I may be too careless. I may then believe that the justification conditions are satisfied, but they are not. In a weak sense, I have justification, but my justified view is wrong. This does not present a difficulty for the view summarized in Figure 2, which maintains that the criteria of identity of entities are identical with justification conditions. One may misjudge whether a justification condition is satisfied. But this does not change the justification condition. Of course, a justification condition should be such that it can be easily and uncontroversially settled whether it is satisfied. (Otherwise it would not be a justification condition.) But it would be far too much to demand that no mistake should be possible about it. If the justification conditions are not affected by the occasional mistakes, they may fix the reference of words and provide criteria of identity. The occasional mistakes just do not matter. 

A model of the structure must be fit to the map. This used to be done with the "Richards box", a device containing a half-silvered mirror to give the illusion of superposition of a physical model and the electron density map (conventionally contoured in serial sections, traced onto transparent film, and stacked (17).) Recently, some protein structures have been determined using interactive computer graphics to fit a stick model of a structure to an electron density map (18, 19). 

We are so used to food that has a fibrous texture that when it is homogeneous fibres have to be added. An example is Quorn , a mycoprotein produced from Fusarium, a mycelial fungus. The threads or hyphae are about 5 pm in diameter and very thin-walled. So they hardly register as giving texture. Since they can be given a variety of flavours, it makes sense to complete the illusion with texture. One way is to align the hyphae in a shear field, add some egg albumen and fix the structure with heat. Although this does not produce a hierarchical structure, and so is more similar to chicken or fish than mammalian muscle, it is nonetheless very acceptable. 

Frotein crystal structures may entice the illusion that the individual atoms in a protein are at fixed positions. However, substantial movements do occur. For instance, the C-terminal domain of protein R2 is too mobile to be resolved in the crystal structure. In solution even larger flexibility is... 

The /3-sheet is an important, biologically relevant secondary structure. As noted earlier, the pyrrolinonesinvented by Smith et al. (Fig. 15.3) adopt a j3-strand conformation, which was corroborated by computer modeling and by X-ray crystallography (55). The dia-cylaminoeindolidinone 25), the dibenzofuran (26), and the N,N- mked oligourea (27) illus-... 

Table 8 (Section 3) lists the several variants of which the structural abnormality has been determined. In addition, there are some abnormal fetal hemoglobins which are incompletely characterized. Figure 15 illus-...

In this connection, one may refer to polymorphism of a homologous series of n n+2 n in which n was even-numbered carbon atoms ranging from 10 to 16 (24,25). In these TAG, the most stable form is P, and no P form was observed. The crystal structure of the P form y> simply and symbolically, be illus-...
