Vinyltitanocene dichloride, 18, made as shown in Scheme 1.3, was copolymerized with styrene. Attempts to reduce the dichlorotitanocene to isolated titanocene moieties failed. Instead, the bridged dimer 40 formed, causing some cross-linking in the system. Structural analysis of this system was very difficult.

For components or parts which over the course of this work are found to show a particular degree of risk, a system structure analysis (Figure 4.12) will be executed after detailed planning, if required, and basic safety of the parts will be evaluated as related to system failure. Here it may be necessary to extend the analysis by quantitative method (Section 4.4). Both analysis steps facilitate the decision of whether and under what conditions safe operation is possible. 

System Structure Analysis. After the identification of subsystems to be examined and the definition of undcsired events within the context of preliminary hazard analysis, events which lead to incidents are investigated. These event sequences can be represented as logic structure in a block diagram, a flow diagram, a fault tree, or a decision table. In the presentation which follows (Table 4.9.). a decision table was used. It contains, column by column, the combinations of system states which lead to the undesired event. The presentation permits qualitative identification of weak points in the system. In general, for example, the probability of a system state will decline with the growing number of failed components. The logic structure presentation could form the basis for further quantitative analyses. 

Concept Analysis of the Technical Plant after Planning. Preliminary hazard analysis and system structure analysis are intended to facilitate safety evaluation of the planned installation from the basic concept. Comprehensiveness of observation depends on the danger level of the installation. After concluding this work, basic changes in the technical procedure frequently become necessary and must be incorporated into the planning. 

Due to the need to check all safety measures, this part of the system analysis can become very voluminous. The method becomes difficult due to the constant change from the overall review of the plant to the review of individual components. For this reason it is important, in the case of major systems, to place preliminary hazard analysis and system structure analysis ahead of the evaluation of the planning concept. The advantages of this work plan are the following ... 

A special class of homogeneous linear algebraic equations arises in the study of vibrating systems, structure analysis, and electric circuit system analysis, and in the solution and stability analysis of linear ordinary differential equations (Chap. 5). This system of equations has the form... 

CHEOPS (we tested Version 3.0.1) is a program for predicting polymer properties. It consists of two programs The analysis program allows the user to draw the repeat unit structure and will then compute a whole list of properties the synthesis program allows the user to specify a class of polymers and desired properties and will then try the various permutations of the functional groups to find ones that fit the requirements. On a Pentium Pro 200 system, the analysis computations were essentially instantaneous and the synthesis computations could take up to a few minutes. There was no automated way to transfer information between the two programs. 

The proton chemical shifts of the protons directly attached to the basic three carbon skeleton are found between 5.0 and 6.8 ppm. The J(H,H) between these protons is about -5 Hz. The shift region is similar to the region for similarly substituted alkenes, although the spread in shifts is smaller and the allene proton resonances are slightly upfield from the alkene resonances. We could not establish a reliable additivity rule for the allene proton shifts as we could for the shifts (vide infra) and therefore we found the proton shifts much less valuable for the structural analysis of the allene moiety than the NMR data on the basic three-carbon system. 

Solid state NMR is a relatively recent spectroscopic technique that can be used to uniquely identify and quantitate crystalline phases in bulk materials and at surfaces and interfaces. While NMR resembles X-ray diffraction in this capacity, it has the additional advantage of being element-selective and inherently quantitative. Since the signal observed is a direct reflection of the local environment of the element under smdy, NMR can also provide structural insights on a molecularlevel. Thus, information about coordination numbers, local symmetry, and internuclear bond distances is readily available. This feature is particularly usefrd in the structural analysis of highly disordered, amorphous, and compositionally complex systems, where diffraction techniques and other spectroscopies (IR, Raman, EXAFS) often fail. 

Typically, the first phase of a comprehensive accident investigation process will involve describing the way in which the hardware, the chemical process, individual operators and operating teams are involved in the accident process. This is the domain of the structural analysis techniques and the technical analysis of the chemical process which gave rise to the accident. Analyses of human error will primarily address the interactions between hardware systems and individuals or operating teams (the first two layers... 

Other substituted systems, however, might be planar due to conjugation effects with acceptor substituents, as has been found in an X-ray structural analysis of 1,4-dioxocin-6-carboxylic acid chloride the eight-membered ring is practically planar with a coplanar arrangement of the substituent.9... 

The dipyrrylacelylenedicarbaldehyde 18, which already contains, along with the acetylene moiety, two of the two-carbon bridges of the final macrotetracycle, can be prepared by a Heck-type coupling of 5-iodopyrrole-2-carbaldehydes with acetylene.8a,b The main conjugation pathway with 22n electrons is already present in the acetylene-cumulate systems 19. The expected planarity of this chromophore has been confirmed by X-ray structure analysis.8a b... 

Although [34]octaphyrin 80 fulfills Hiickel s rule, the II NMR spectrum indicates by the high-field shift of the methine protons that the system is nonaromatic. The X-ray structure analysis demonstrates clearly the reason for the lack of aromatic stabilization, namely the nonplanar loop conformation in which the whole macrocycle is twisted similarly to the [32]octaphyrin structure and which is also found for [36]octaphyrin and [40]decaphyrin structures (vide infra). 

According to Hiiekel s rule, turcasarin should not be aromatic, but even if the macrocycle should fulfill the (4n +2) rule for aromatic systems the lack of planarity due to the loop conformation would prevent aromatic stabilization. In fact, the existence of the loop conformation in which the whole macrocycle is twisted was demonstrated by X-ray structure analysis and NMR investigations. 

The main property of agricultural SAH is their ability to absorb, retain in the swollen state, and then to transfer large volumes of water, in other words, their swelling behavior in a broad sense. In this section, we consider the main features of the behavior including, when necessary, some fragments of the theory of these systems and methods of their structural analysis. 

Very recently, even examples of donor-stabilized bissilylene complexes have been introduced. For instance, the two cyclic systems 13 and 14 are prepared by an aminolysis reaction of the respective bis(chloro)silyl complexes. The x-ray structure analysis of 13 has been performed [39]. 

This crisscross or von Halban-White-type cyclization product is formed from the (E)-configured intermediate 87, which cannot undergo the 67r-electrocy-clization like the (Z)-configured isomer 88, to yield the benzannelation product 86 [78,79]. While the diastereoselectivity of the alkyne insertion must have been controlled by the electronic and not the steric factors of the substituents on the alkyne, the anti-configuration of the tricyclic system 85 was confirmed by an X-ray structure analysis [77]. 

The Sr-Cu system has been critically assessed. The most recent phase diagram, determined by combining differential thermal analysis and x-ray diffraction techniques, contains two intermediate compounds, both of which form in peritectic reactions, SrCu (588°C) and SrCu, (845°C) SrCu has also been prepared for independent structural analysis-. ... 

Two versions of the Ba-Cd phase diagram are very similar and, but for some minor differences in the critical point parameters, differ only in the stoichiometry of the compound at 17 at% Ba-Ba2Cd9 or BaCd . Since ref. 5 includes a structural analysis of the intermediate compounds, this phase diagram is recommended. There are five intermediate compounds in the system. Four of these melt congruently, BaCd (SSS C), BaCdj (642°C), Ba2Cd, (620°C) and BaCd (672°C) the other, BajCd (409°C), is formed in a peritectic reaction. The existence of Ba2Cd BaCd, BaCdj, and BaCd], has been verified in separate crystallographic studies. 

Methods of detection, metabolism, and pathophysiology of the brevetoxins, PbTx-2 and PbTx-3, are summarized. Infrared spectroscopy and innovative chromatographic techniques were examined as methods for detection and structural analysis. Toxicokinetic and metabolic studies for in vivo and in vitro systems demonstrated hepatic metabolism and biliary excretion. An in vivo model of brevetoxin intoxication was developed in conscious tethered rats. Intravenous administration of toxin resulted in a precipitous decrease in body temperature and respiratory rate, as well as signs suggesting central nervous system involvement. A polyclonal antiserum against the brevetoxin polyether backbone was prepared a radioimmunoassay was developed with a sub-nanogram detection limit. This antiserum, when administered prophylactically, protected rats against the toxic effects of brevetoxin. 

The neuropathological analysis of HIV-associated neuropathies should include the different central and peripheral nervous system structures associated with sensory pathways, including spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia (DRG), peripheral nerve, and cutaneous nerve fibers (Pardo et al. 2001) (Fig. 4.1). The majority of studies have focused on the evaluation of the peripheral nerve, often from sural nerve biopsies and the DRG. Few studies have examined the pathology of sensory pathways in the... 

Oxygen-17 NMR spectroscopy has an immense potential for structural analysis of cyclic sulfoxides and sulfones as well as for providing insight into the nature of bonding within these two functional groups . Indeed, in addition to data concerning the NMR chemical shifts for several cyclic sulfoxides and sulfones, NMR chemical shift differences between several diastereotopic sulfonyl oxygens in both cyclic and acyclic systems have been reported .
