Theoretical details

We want to calculate the photoconductivity induced in a layer parallel to the surface at position x. The dark conductivity of the liquid is assumed to be negligible. Generally, Gph(x) is given as 

The stationary concentration of charge carriers under irradiation is then obtained as. 

In order to calculate g(x), the flux of absorbed photons must be known. The light intensity decreases with penetration distance x as 

Iph(O) is the intensity at the surface of the liquid denotes the linear absorption coefficient (cm- ). The light absorbed per unit volume and time at distance x is given by 

Inserting this expression into Equation 1 yields the photoconductivity. 

If the positions of two particles are denoted Xi and X2 with diffusion coefficients D and D2 respectively, the interparticle vector R is a linear combination of Xi and X2 as 

We wish to find another linear combination vector S such that the vectors R and S diffuse independently (which are made independent via the parameter a). 

As a three dimensional normal distribution is spherically symmetric, the three directions of the Cartesian coordinates are independent. The components of the vector X can be incremented with a given standard deviation (a ) and a normally distributed random number A(0, 1), with mean 0 and variance 1 as

Thermodynamic energy terms (and equilibrium constants) may differ for compounds containing different isotopic species of an element. This effect is described in theoretical detail by Urey (1947), and applications to geochemistry are discussed by Broecker and Oversby (1971) and Faure (1977). A good example is the case of the vapor/liquid equilibrium for water. The vapor pressure of a lighter isotopic species, H2 0, is higher relative to that of heavier species, (or HD O), and others. 

Addition of nitrate the addition of nitrate will establish anoxic conditions when DO is depleted and will, thereby, suppress the sulfate reduction. The theoretical details of the anoxic processes in the bulk water phase and in the biofilm on the suppression of sulfate-reducing conditions and the presence of sulfide in the water phase are not well understood (Abdul-Talib et al., 2001). However, nitrate should be sufficiently active to oxidize sulfide (Einarsen et al., 2000). 

This equation has been used by Sundstrom and coworkers [151] and adapted to the analysis of femtosecond spectral evolution as monitored by the bond-twisting events in barrierless isomerization in solution. The theoretical derivation of Aberg et al. establishes a link between the Smoluchowski equation with a sink and the Schrodinger equation of a solute coupled to a thermal bath. The reader is referred to this important work for further theoretical details and a thorough description of the experimental set up. It is sufficient to say here that the classical link is established via the Hamilton-Jacobi equation formalism. By using the standard ansatz Xn(X,t)= A(X,i)cxp(S(X,t)/i1l), where S(X,t) is the action of the dynamical system, and neglecting terms in once this... 

We have said but a few word in describing the above mentioned various phases of Mentalism. We have not thought it necessary to go into detail regarding the theory of the phenomena. Those whn read this booh will k ve read elsewhere much of theoretical detail, and betide will have grasped the fundamental and underlying principles of Mentalism from what wo have said in The Arcane Teaching. Wc think it preferable to pass on directly to the practical methods contained in the Formulas, rather than to dwell upon the theoretical side of the subject... 

In Section 4.7c we outlined the types of effects one can expect in the response of charged dispersions to deformation. In this section, we present some results for the viscosity of charged colloids for which electroviscous effects could be important. As mentioned above, we shall not go into the theoretical details behind the equations since they require a fairly advanced knowledge of fluid dynamics and, in some cases, statistical mechanics. Moreover, some of... 

Relaxation. In addition to changes in chemical shift, changes in lineshape are often also observed. The lineshape of an NMR signal is directly correlated to relaxation. Relaxation is the time taken for nuclei to return to equilibrium after equilibrium has been perturbed by a radio-frequency pulse. In NMR, there are two main types of relaxation, namely 7) and T2. The theoretical details are beyond the scope of this chapter for an excellent discussion, readers should refer to Keeler (2005). It is simply enough for the reader to understand that both 7) (also called... 

Each of the tools and databases discussed previously is grounded in a significant amount of both technical and theoretical detail. To illustrate the utility of these tools, practical data-analysis examples are provided that outline how a microarray experiment can be designed and analyzed. In addition, the annotation of an uncharacterized EST is defined and mapped to the genome. These examples also demonstrate how to assign annotation to microarray analysis, when the identify of a EST represented on an array may be unknown. 

The methodological section is intended for readers who are not very familiar with the theoretical details. Accordingly, only part of the formalism is presented in the form of equations however, the general quantum mechanical concepts that allow the computation of NMR observables from first-principles theory, as well as some important technical details, are outlined. Readers who are not interested in methodological details may skip Sects. 2.2 - 2.9, since the subsequent sections do not make excessive references to the methodology part. 

The above phenomena have been incorporated into a theoretical approach which explicitly associates zone spreading with flow velocity and the rates of various equilibration processes. This is the generalized nonequilibrium theory developed by the author [5]. While the theoretical details are too lengthy to develop here, some semi-quantitative reasoning can be used to understand the nature of nonequilibrium-induced zone spreading and the parameters that control it. 

The two-site reaction kinetics model proposed by Bonn [1] was used to evaluate the kinetic parameters. Activation energies and pre-exponential factors were determined from experiments between 570-630 K at 10 MPa. In order to decrease the strong inter-correlation between pre-exponential factors and activation energies, the reparametrisadon method of Kittrell [4] was used. Values for the pre-exponential factors at a reference temperature and activation energies are presented in Table 2. Experimental and theoretical details on HDM reaction kinetics will be published elsewhere [5]. 

We have covered here only the basics. Theoretical details as well as practical applications can be found in Gy (1992) and Pitard (1993). 

Even more efficient single-scan zero-quantum dephasing is possible if adiabatically switched gradients are used in combination with on-resonance spin-locking. Experimental and theoretical details of this technique can be found in the paper by Davis et al. (1993).

Most of the theoretical details of the material covered in this chapter can be found in Coveil et al. (4), Jacquez and Simon (5), and Jacquez (6). Of particular importance to this chapter is the material covered in Coveil et al. (4) in which the relationships between the calculation of kinetic parameters from statistical moments and the same parameters calculated from the rate constants of a linear, constant-coefficient compartmental model are derived. Jacquez and Simon (5) discuss in detail the mathematical properties of systems that depend upon local mass balance this forms the basis for understanding compartmental models and the simplifications that result from certain assumptions about a system under study. Berman (7) gives examples using metabolic turnover data, while the examples provided in Gibaldi and Perrier (8) and Rowland and Tozer (9) are more familiar to clinical phar maco logists. 

Without going into too much theoretical detail, the BET isotherm for Type II adsorption processes (typical for pharmaceutical powders) is given by ... 

Many of the subjects are of little or no importance for foods or are treated in too much theoretical detail (e.g., quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, much of spectroscopy). 

Throughout, we have avoided mathematical and theoretical detail. For this and for additional selected applications, the reader is referred to several review articles.
