Having met Joule for the first time at the 1847 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Oxford, Thomson initially accepted that Joule s experiments had shown that work converted into heat. Committed to Carnot s theory of the production of work from a fall of heat, however, he could not accept the converse proposition that work had been converted into heat could simply be recovered as useful work. Therefore, he could not agree to Joule s claim for mutual convertibility. By 1848 he had appropriated from the lectures of the late Thomas Young (reprinted in the mid-1840s) the term energy as a synonym for vis viva (the term in use at the time, traditionally measured as mtc) and its equivalent terms such as work, but as yet the term appeared only in a footnote. 

The above difficulty of using the P.B. theorem was obviated to some extent by Poincar6 in his theory of cycles without contact, for which we refer the reader to footnote 2, as we shall have no occasion to use this theorem. 

Most efforts toward improvement of the theory, however, have been directed at refinement of the mathematical treatment of the model, and the imperfections inherent in the model itself too often have been ignored. These mathematical refinements are of two sorts. The one consists in the use of the more accurate expression for fi (see p. 500, footnote) in the derivation of an expression for or in otherwise avoiding the equating of fi to The equations which result are con-...

TABLE 3. B3LYP/6-31G(d) activation barriers (A , kcal mol ) for the epoxidation of a series of alkenes with peroxyformic acid (PFA) and dimethyldioxirane (DMDO). The barriers in parentheses are at the B3LYP/6-31- -G(d,p) level of theory. Other computational approaches are indicated by footnotes. The barriers have been computed with respect to isolated reactants...

In the Lyapunov classification they are called stable but not asymptotically stable . In the theory of fluctuations it is more natural to classify this case as unstable, pursuant to the footnote in X.3.

A recent summary of the history and dynamics of the theoretical models of benzene39 cites a view that even though the current molecular orbital (MO) view of benzene seems complete and ultimate while the valence bond (VB) view seems obsolete, the recent findings about zr-distortivity in benzene indicate that the benzene story is likely to take additional twists and turns that will revive the VB viewpoint (see footnote 96 in ref 39). What the present review will show is that the notion of delocalized zr-systems in Scheme 1 is an outcome of both VB and MO theories, and the chemical manifestations are reproduced at all levels. The use of VB theory leads, however, to a more natural appreciation of the zr-distortivity, while the manifestations of this ground state s zr-distortivity in the excited state of delocalized species provides for the first time a physical probe of a Kekule structure .3... 

Developing a theory of coset geometries (as mentioned in the previous footnote), one obtains from our recognition theorem of Coxeter schemes Jacques Tits main result on buildings of spherical type . This theorem asserts that each such building is associated with a group if it is thick and of rank at least 3. 

It is instructive to compare the system of equations (3.46) and (3.47) with the system (3.37). One can see that both the radius of the tube and the positions of the particles in the Doi-Edwards model are, in fact, mean quantities from the point of view of a model of underlying stochastic motion described by equations (3.37). The intermediate length emerges at analysis of system (3.37) and can be expressed through the other parameters of the theory (see details in Chapter 5). The mean value of position of the particles can be also calculated to get a complete justification of the above model. The direct introduction of the mean quantities to describe dynamics of macromolecule led to an oversimplified, mechanistic model, which, nevertheless, allows one to make correct estimates of conformational relaxation times and coefficient of diffusion of a macromolecule in strongly entangled systems (see Sections 4.2.2 and 5.1.2). However, attempts to use this model to formulate the theory of viscoelasticity of entangled systems encounted some difficulties (for details, see Section 6.4, especially the footnote on p. 133) and were unsuccessful. 

In a footnote to his 1949 paper entitled A Resonating-Valence-Bond Theory of Metals and Intermetallic Compounds, Linus Pauling gave an example of a simple statistical treatment to derive the metallic orbital [27]. Nevertheless, it took him three and one-half decades to publish the detailed statistical treatment [34-36], which is given in the following. 

At this point it is appropriate to repeat Dirac s statement from footnote 1. At the risk of misquotation it is done under the assumption that the term beauty was used in the sense of a subtle deviation from mathematically exact symmetry. Restated in more austere language it then reads Any convincing theory reflects a broken symmetry. 

The importance of transannular interaction for the stabilization of the bridgehead cation 19 was revealed in numerous calculations" and is obvious from the interbridgehead distance in this species, calculated to be 1.525 A at the MP2/6-31G levef This can be compared with bicy do [1.1. IJpentane (2), for which this level of calculation yields 1.872 A (recall that the reported experimental values are 1.845 and 1.874 A) and with [1.1. Ijpropellane (la), for which 1.592 A is calculated at this level of theory and 1.60 A is observedThe bridgehead cation 19 clearly contains a central CC bond and it is probably best to view it as a protonated [1.1.1 jpropellane" . The calculated (HF/4-31G footnote 24 in Reference 82) proton affinity of [1.1. Ijpropellane is 229 kcalmol", very close to that of ammomia. The cation can also be viewed as a CH -trimethylmethylene complex ...

It has been said that to obtain good separation of proteins by salt fractionation it is advantageous to use a high concentration of protein. The efficiency of separation is determined by the width of the p6aks in the distribution curve and their separation. The theory indicates that the width of a given peak is independent of the protein concentration (see footnote 2). 

Like the theory of corresponding states on which it is based, Kay s rule provides only approximate values of the quantities it is used to calculate. It works best when used for mixtures of nonpolar compounds whose critical temperatures and pressures are within a factor of two of one another. Reid, Prausnitz, and Poling (see footnote 1) provide more complex but more accurate mixing rules for systems that do not fall into this category.
