The rate expressions Rj — Rj(T,ck,6m x) typically contain functional dependencies on reaction conditions (temperature, gas-phase and surface concentrations of reactants and products) as well as on adaptive parameters x (i.e., selected pre-exponential factors k0j, activation energies Ej, inhibition constants K, effective storage capacities i//ec and adsorption capacities T03 1 and Q). Such rate parameters are estimated by multiresponse non-linear regression according to the integral method of kinetic analysis based on classical least-squares principles (Froment and Bischoff, 1979). The objective function to be minimized in the weighted least squares method is... 

Generally, adsorption steps were taken as temperature independent, whereas the rate parameters of surface reactions and desorption steps were described by Arrhenius equations. The kinetic rate parameters for CO oxidation (steps 1-10) and the catalyst properties were taken from [24] with minor adaptation as mentioned. The rate parameters, e.g. activation energies and pre-exponential factors, for steps 11-28 were determined by non-linear regression. It was found [25] that the rates for NO reactions on ceria are independent of the oxidation state of ceria, so the rate parameters for the corresponding steps were taken as the same (i.e. steps 11 and 12 for oxygen, steps 25-28 for NO). 

Equation (10.19) implies that tNo becomes essentially independent of the ammonia surface coverage above a critical NH3 coverage identified by 0 nh3-Like for the ER rate expression, a global multiresponse nonlinear regression of all the TRM and TPR runs performed with 2 % O2 provided the estimates of the three rate parameters in Eq. (10.19) (k°No, E o, 0 nh3)-... 

In this case, t0 represents the time at which the buffer flow enters the measuring chamber and replaces the analyte solution. This equation is particularly useful for global fitting approaches. It allows deriving the dissociation rate constant koB from the dissociation phase and its subsequent use as a fixed parameter in the nonlinear regression of the association phase. As an example, Table 2 shows the rate and equilibrium constants for AChE from electric eel binding to various modified surfaces (20, 24). 

The devices prepared in our study were almost cylindrical in shape because the two smaller dimensions were very similar (0.5 and 0.7 cm). The devices were equivalent to a cylinder both in terms of suriace area and volume, with a radius of 0.33 cm and a length of 1.3 cm, and they could thus be classified as erodible cylindrical devices with dispersed drug. Therefore, Eqs. (1) and (2) are applicable and should describe the release profile. To determine if drug release from the devices was controlled by surface erosion, the release profiles were fitted to Eq. (1). Since all the parameters in Eq. (1) except B (the erosion rate) are known, nonlinear regression was used on the release profiles to obtain the optimized values of B. 

Cyclic and pulsed voltammetric studies of Mb-surfac-tant films have been used to obtain electrochemical parameters such as electron transfer rate constants and formal potentials E° ), i.e. apparent standard potentials under given experimental conditions. Recent work has shown that a Gaussian distribution model for protein molecules with slightly different ° -values fits voltammetric data in thin surfactant films [26, 33]. This model was used with nonlinear regression to extract average ° and values from square wave voltammograms (SWV). Simple models for voltammetry of single species confined to the electrode surface did not fit the data, but formal potentials could be estimated from the midpoints of CV cathodic and anodic peaks. 

The multiple regression analysis was performed for constructing the RSM-based burr size mathematical models. In the present investigation, the second order burr height and burr thickness mathematical models have been developed in terms of four process parameters, namely, cutting speed (v) feed rate (/), drill diameter (d) and point angle (. The nonlinear second order response surface equation is given by ... 

The constant K, should thus not be confused with the surface exchange coefficient defined by Equation (14.21). Both parameters have the same dimension (cm s ) A general method of regression analysis of data from relaxation experiments using the linear rate law for the surface reaction has been given. Other empirical rate laws for the surface exchange reaction have been proposed by Dovi et al. and Gesmundo et al. °... 

Linear regression of one-electron reduction potentials (which are proportional to free energies for electron transfer reactions) with log kohs values for the transformation of 8 halogenated aliphatic compoimds by FeS produced only a weak LFER (R =0.48) (7 7). The poor R value and the small slope of the LFER were attributed to several factors, including the influence of thermodynamic or molecular parameters other than one-electron reduction potentials on reaction rates, different mechanisms of adsorption to the FeS surface for different pollutants, different reaction mechanisms at the FeS surface, and/or significant adsorption of certain pollutants to non-reactive FeS surface sites (77).
