Matching target space with iigand space... 

On the one hand, we can strive for a single cluster operator T, defining the valence universal wave operator U, U = exp(T), which will transform all the model space states ]< > ) into some linear combinations of the exact states jfl i), f = 1,2, , M, which in turn span the target space M, i.e.. 

We recall that the effective Hamiltonian formalism considers a model space Mo together with a target space M,... 

We use common (but not universal) mathematical notation and terminology for functions. When we define a function, we indicate its domain (the objects it can accept as arguments), the target space (the kind of objects it puts out as values) and a rule for calculating the value from the argument. For example, if we wish to introduce a function f that takes a complex number to its absolute value squared, we write... 

What about the converse does any linear transformation determine a matrix This question raises two issues. First, if the domain is infinite-dimensional, the question is more complicated. Mathematicians usually reserve the word matrix for a finite-dimensional matrix (i.e., an array with a finite number of rows and colunms). Physicists often use matrix to denote a linear transformation between infinite-dimensional spaces, where mathematicians would usually prefer to say linear transformation. Second, even in finitedimensional spaces, one must specify bases in domain and target space to determine the entries in a matrix. We discuss this issue in more detail in Section 2.5 for the special case of linear operators. 

Third, we have selected aptamers that can bind to the 3II isozyme of protein kinase C from an RNA pool that spanned 120 random positions [5], The aptamers fell into several families, and individuals from two of the most prominent families were assayed for their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity ofPKC. While these aptamers efficiently inhibited the enzymatic activity of the 3II isozyme, they had a 10-fold lower K, for the 3I isozyme (96% similar) and showed no activity against the a isozyme (80% similar). These specificities rival those seen with monoclonal antibodies. We have now selected aptamers that can bind to the a isozyme ofPKC from the same RNA pool. Sequence comparisons of the anti-pil and anti-a aptamers (Fig. 13) suggest that the map that relates target space and sequence space is convoluted. For example, while one family of aptamers was returned from both selections, other families were unique for one or the other isozyme. 

They are defined in terms of the projection operators P and Q for the IV-electron target space as follows. 

The equivalent-local form of the coupled-channels-optical method does not give a satisfactory description of the excitation of triplet states (Brun-ger et al, 1990). Here only the exchange part of the polarisation potential contributes. The equivalent-local approximation to this is not sufficiently accurate. It is necessary to check the overall validity of the treatment of the complete target space by comparing calculated total cross sections with experiment. This is done in table 8.8. The experiments of Nickel et al. (1985) were done by a beam-transmission technique (section 2.1.3). The calculation overestimates total cross sections by about 20%, due to an overestimate of the total ionisation cross section. However, an error of this magnitude in the (second-order) polarisation potential does not invalidate the coupled-channels-optical calculation for low-lying discrete channels. 

Other scattering calculations that account for the complete target space can also be tested. The method (10.55) can be used for the pseudostate... 

Given the background and target space characterizations, a test is applied to each pixel to determine the likelihood that it contains the effects of the target gas in question. The test used is the Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test, GLRT The GLRT as formulated here is based on the matched subspace detector, MSD, written as... 

The detection scheme is run iteratively on several gas species of interest for a single scene. Separate target spaces are created for each species using the same input parameters to the signature model and the individual species laboratory absorption...
