Theoretical models, need

Equation to a general computational scheme. A theoretical models needs to be unique and well defined and, to the maximum extent possible, be unbiased by preconceived ideas. It should lead to Potential Energy Surfaces which are continuous. It is also desirable (but not required) that a theoretical model be Size Consistent and... 

In electrokinetic phenomena such as electroacoustics, theoretical models need to consider the induced movement of charge within the electrical double layer (EDL), the surface current , Is, as well as the interaction of the outer portion of the double layer with the applied signal (acoustic or electric field) and with the liquid medium. Hydrodynamic flows generate surface current as liquid moving relative to the particle... 

Most calculations on chemical systems within the scheme just mentioned are model calculations in the sense that they are performed on very simple chemical systems and are intended to serve as a model for a large class of similar systems. Consequently, it is also important to develop qualitative models of the topology and energetics of potential surfaces so that one may interpolate between experimental data that may be available, since only a small number of model situations may be explored with detailed numerical computations. Such qualitative theoretical models need to be formulated so that a numerical calculation of the characteristics of a molecular potential surface can be analysed a posteriori within a quantitative model and the results of this analysis carried forward to other systems in a qualitative way. The familiar Woodward-Hoffmann approach (based on Hiickel theory) and the frontier orbital method have the difficulty that they cannot be us to analyse the results of a molecular structure computation based upon an extensive configuration-interaction (Cl) expansion. Thus, one must begin to reformulate such qualitative models within the sophisticated models that are now routinely used to perform molecular structure computations. 

Better theoretical models need to be developed that explicitly incorporate the conformational features of the polymers in a mixture. Such models need to deal with behaviors that range from the limits of rigid rods to random coils in a systematic way. In particular, semi-rigid polymers, that are common to high temperature polymers, need to be studied. In addition to the conformation of the two polymers, an explicit way of incorporating specific enthalpic interactions needs to be defined. The development of the proposed model will allow for a theoretical examination of the relative importance of entropic and enthalpic effects to the phase behavior and miscibility. 

The effect of particle size and the mechanical stability of silicon particles need to be understood. A theoretical model needs to be developed to find the critical dimension at which silicon particles are stable under long-term expansion/ shrinking cycles. 

Various theoretical and empirical models have been derived expressing either charge density or charging current in terms of flow characteristics such as pipe diameter d (m) and flow velocity v (m/s). Liquid dielectric and physical properties appear in more complex models. The application of theoretical models is often limited by the nonavailability or inaccuracy of parameters needed to solve the equations. Empirical models are adequate in most cases. For turbulent flow of nonconductive liquid through a given pipe under conditions where the residence time is long compared with the relaxation time, it is found that the volumetric charge density Qy attains a steady-state value which is directly proportional to flow velocity... 

A theoretical model should be uniquely defined for any given configuration of nuclei and electrons. This means that specifying a molecular structure is all that is required to produce an approximate solution to the Schrodinger equation no other parameters are needed to specify the problem or its solution. 

Theoretical models available in the literature consider the electron loss, the counter-ion diffusion, or the nucleation process as the rate-limiting steps they follow traditional electrochemical models and avoid any structural treatment of the electrode. Our approach relies on the electro-chemically stimulated conformational relaxation control of the process. Although these conformational movements179 are present at any moment of the oxidation process (as proved by the experimental determination of the volume change or the continuous movements of artificial muscles), in order to be able to quantify them, we need to isolate them from either the electrons transfers, the counter-ion diffusion, or the solvent interchange we need electrochemical experiments in which the kinetics are under conformational relaxation control. Once the electrochemistry of these structural effects is quantified, we can again include the other components of the electrochemical reaction to obtain a complete description of electrochemical oxidation. 

It is noteworthy that several studies exhibit contradictory results for both the mechanical and thermal characteristics of the flow. This is generally due to differences in the many parameters that characterize these studies such as the geometry, shape and surface roughness of the channels, the fluid, the boundary conditions and the measuring methodology itself. These discrepancies indicate the need for extension of the experimental base to provide the necessary background to the theoretical model. 

The mechanism of TFL can be summarized to the ordered him lubrication, concluded from previous researches. It should be noted that the property and mechanism of TFL are not fully understood to date, and there remains a wide blank area to be covered between experiments and theoretical predictions and it leaves a far cry to achieve predictive ability. Some key problems associated with theoretical modeling which need to be addressed are ... 

Equations (13) and (14) comprise the complete theoretical model for predicting polymerization conversion (C) from the fractional areas data from the GC. However, the two parameters and g need to be determined from experimental data. 

We begin by reviewing the principles of SECM methods, and present an overview of the instrumentation needed for experimental studies. A major factor in the success of SECM, in quantitative applications, has been the parallel development of theoretical models for mass transport. A detailed treatment of the theory for the most common SECM modes that have been used to study liquid interfaces is therefore given, along with key results from these models. A comprehensive assessment of the applications of SECM is provided and the prospects for the future developments of the methodology are highlighted. 

Frequency methods can give us the relative stability (the gain and phase margins). In addition, we could construct the Bode plot with experimental data using a sinusoidal or pulse input, i.e., the subsequent design does not need a (theoretical) model. If we do have a model, the data can be used to verify the model. However, there are systems which have more than one crossover frequency on the Bode plot (the magnitude and phase lag do not decrease monotonically with frequency), and it would be hard to judge which is the appropriate one with the Bode plot alone. 

It should also be mentioned that a theoretical model using an empirical LEPS potential energy surface has successfully been used to reproduce the vibrational population distribution of the products of this surface reaction.40 This approach confines itself to the assumptions of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and underscores one of the major questions remaining in this field do we just need better Born Oppenheimer potential surfaces or do we need a different theoretical approach ... 

Finally, accurate theoretical kinetic and dynamical models are needed for calculating Sn2 rate constants and product energy distributions. The comparisons described here, between experimental measurements and statistical theory predictions for Cl"+CHjBr, show that statistical theories may be incomplete theoretical models for Sn2 nucleophilic substitution. Accurate kinetic and dynamical models for SN2 nucleophilic substitution might be formulated by introducing dynamical attributes into the statistical models or developing models based on only dynamical assumptions. 

Artificial neural networks are now widely used in science. Not only are they able to learn by inspection of data rather than having to be told what to do, but they can construct a suitable relationship between input data and the target responses without any need for a theoretical model with which to work. For example, they are able to assess absorption spectra without knowing about the underlying line shape of a spectral feature, unlike many conventional methods. 

More fundamentally, reductionism as a thesis about inter-theoretical explanation was undermined by the eclipse of the Deductive-Nomological model. Once philosophers of science began to doubt whether deduction from laws was sufficient or necessary for explanation, the conclusion that inter-theoretical explanation need take the form of reduction was weakened. 

Chu et al. (1987) present results of laboratory studies of the formation of an ultrafine aerosol by converting SO- to sulfuric acid using measurement methods described by Holub and Knutson (1987) and Kulju et al. (1987). It was found that the size of the resulting activity distributions is dependent on the S02 concentration. The role of humidity is still unclear and more studies are needed, but it appears that both future theoretical models and laboratory studies will be extremely fruitful in elucidating the behavior of Po-218 from shortly after its formation until its incorporation into the existing accumulation mode aerosol. 

Both experimental evidence and theoretical models are needed to delineate the parameters controlling the properties of stable globules and mesoglobules in thermodynamically poor conditions. They may lead to the rational design of families of particles that may find important practical applications in various fields. 

Three primary problem areas exist in dating groundwater. These are (1) Formulation of realistic geochemical-hydrodynamic models needed to interpret data which are generated by field and laboratory measurements, (2) development of sensitive and accurate analytical methods needed to measure trace amounts of various stable and unstable nuclides, and (3) theoretical and field oriented studies to determine with greater accuracy the extent and distribution of the subsurface production of radionuclides which are commonly assumed to originate only in the atmosphere. 

There are several future directions that NIR brain sensing and imaging research can take. In instrumentation, advances in time-resolve spectroscopic equipment may yield less expensive equipment and thus a more prolific use. This will allow for approximation of time of flight parameter providing a possible avenue for inferring path length. Theoretically, there is a need for better theoretical modeling to eliminate crosstalk noise. Possible improvements have already been introduced by Boas, et. al [8]. However, more human subject studies need to be conducted to... 

A practitioner needs a systematic view to give his patient good quality care. It should start early in education and practice and be developed systematically over time. The basis for this view must be based on EBM. In Box 3.3 a theoretical model for practicing EBM is described (Sackett et al. 1996).
