Surprises definition

While the first analysis ( H NMR and mass spectrometry) did not give enough information to determine the structure of 13 (knotted or catenated) although the molecular weight corresponded to a 3 3 macrocyclization, the surprising definitive proof came from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 

This, at first perhaps surprising fact, is important to remember as the same situation arises in solid state electrochemistry. To understand its validity it suffices to remember that the definition of the reference (zero) energy level of electrons for the she scale is simply the state of an electron at the Fermi level of any metal in equilibrium with an aqueous solution of pH=0 and pH2=l atm at 25°C. 

As happens so often in science, a new and more precise technique of measurement led to a major discovery. When scientists first used mass spectrometers they found—much to their surprise—that not all the atoms of a single element have the same mass. In a sample of perfectly pure neon, for example, most of the atoms have mass 3.32 X 10-26 kg, which is about 20 times as great as the mass of a hydrogen atom. Some neon atoms, however, are found to be about 22 times as heavy as hydrogen. Others are about 21 times as heavy (Fig. B.6). All three types of atoms have the same atomic number so they are definitely atoms of neon. 

This observation is the first part of the cancellation puzzle [20, 21, 27, 29]. We know from Section lll.B that we should be able to solve it directly by applying Eq. (19), which will separate out the contributions to the DCS made by the 1-TS and 2-TS reaction paths. That this is true is shown by Fig. 9(b). It is apparent that the main backward concentration of the scattering comes entirely from the 1-TS paths. This is not a surprise, since, by definition, the direct abstraction mechanism mentioned only involves one TS. What is perhaps surprising is that the small lumps in the forward direction, which might have been mistaken for numerical noise, are in fact the products of the 2-TS paths. Since the 1-TS and 2-TS paths scatter their products into completely different regions of space, there is no interference between the amplitudes f (0) and hence no GP effects. 

Not surprisingly, there is no agreed definition of the risk management process. The associated issues and interactions can be very complex, and much effort continues to go into defining how they can be characterised. It is however possible to sketch the overall process into a coherent architecture, based on the principles of ... 

Surprisingly little attention has been given hitherto to the definition of the laboratory. A space has to be specially adapted to deserve that title. It would be easy to assume that the two leading experimental sciences, physics and chemistry, have historically depended in a similar way on access to a laboratory. But while chemistry, through its alchemical ancestry with batteries of stills, had many fully fledged laboratories by the seventeenth century, physics was discovering the value of mathematics. Even experimental physics was content to make use of almost any indoor space, if not outdoors, ignoring the possible value of a laboratory. The development of the physics laboratory had to wait until the nineteenth century... 

Raff I think they are actually surprisingly variable. What would you consider to be the most definitive experiment showing that yeast cells care about their size ... 

The selection of strings for the tournament is random, thus the results may vary each time the process is performed on a given starting population. This unpredictable selection of strings is the second time that random numbers have been used in the algorithm (the first was in the construction of the strings in the initial population) and random numbers will return shortly. It may seem surprising that random numbers are needed when the problem to be solved has a definite (albeit, still unknown) solution, but their use is a common feature in AI methods and, in fact, is fundamental to the operation of several of them. 

As we pointed out earlier, calculating the derivative of the free energy appears to require a full set of generalized coordinates. However, this may seem quite surprising. Assume that we want to define the PMF as a function of the distance between two molecules. This force is clearly independent of the particular choice of generalized coordinates made to calculate it. In fact, we are now going to prove that an equation can be derived which does not require an explicit definition of generalized coordinates other than .
