Three Parameter Models. Most fluids deviate from the predicted corresponding states values. Thus the acentric factor, CO, was introduced to account for asymmetry in molecular stmcture (79). The acentric factor is defined as the deviation of reduced vapor pressure from 0.1, measured at a reduced temperature of 0.7. In equation form this becomes ... 

When the potential V Q) is symmetric or its asymmetry is smaller than the level spacing (Oq, then at low temperature (T cuo) only the lowest energy doublet is occupied, and the total energy spectrum can be truncated to that of a TLS. If V Q) is coupled to the vibrations whose frequencies are less than coq and co, it can be described by the spin-boson Hamiltonian...

Reductive alkylation with chiral substrates may afford new chiral centers. The reaction has been of interest for the preparation of optically active amino acids where the chirality of the amine function is induced in the prochiral carbonyl moiety 34,35). The degree of induced asymmetry is influenced by substrate, solvent, and temperature 26,27,28,29,48,51,65). Asymmetry also has been obtained by reduction of prochiral imines, using a chiral catalyst 44). Prediction of the major configurational isomer arising from a reductive alkylation can be made usually by the assumption that amine formation comes via an imine, not the hydroxyamino addition compound, and that the catalyst approaches the least hindered side (57). 

Thus, someone working near a window will receive hot solar radiation through the window in summer and cold radiation from the cold window surface in winter, causing uncomfortable radiant asymmetry even if the room temperature is perfect for personnel working away from the window. Ventilation will not be the correct solution for this problem - sun shading and double-glazing would be more effective. 

Thus, the spacing of the chains relative to the neutral, free, swollen size of the buoy blocks is, for a given chemical system and temperature, a unique function of the solvent-enhanced size asymmetry of the diblock polymer and a weak function of the effective Hamaker constant for adsorption. The degree of crowding of the nonadsorbing blocks, measured by a decrease in the left-hand side of Eq. 28, increases with increasing asymmetry of the block copolymer. 

Alternatively, peak asymmetry could arise from thermal effects. During the passage of a solute along the column the heats of adsorption and desorption that are evolved and adsorbed as the solute distributes itself between the phases. At the front of the peak, where the solute is being continually adsorbed, the heat of adsorption will be evolved and thus the front of the peak will be at a temperature above its surroundings. Conversely, at the rear of the peak, where there will be a net desorption of solute, heat will be adsorbed and the temperature or the rear of the peak will fall below its surroundings.
