Three-dimensional data

One technique for high dimensional data is to reduce the number of dimensions being plotted. For example, one slice of a three-dimensional data set can be plotted with a two-dimensional technique. Another example is plotting the magnitude of vectors rather than the vectors themselves. 

Data analysis is one aspect of multidimensional analyses that must be optimized in the future. The analysis of chromatographic data beyond one dimension is still exceedingly problematic, especially in the analyses of highly complex mixtures. Better software may need to be developed in order to analyze two- and three-dimensional peaks due to their complexity. Three-dimensional data is only useful today in terms of fingerprinting and often that even requires extensive data analysis. A great deal of research must still be carried out to make the interpretation and quantification of multidimensional data easier. 

The instrument, which is placed at the telescope focal plane, consists of optics and a detector to measure the light. As depicted in Fig. 2, the instrument attempts to measure a three-dimensional data cube - intensity as a function of wavelength (A) and two spatial dimensions on the sky (right ascension and dechnation). 

Figure 2. Three-dimensional data cube that is probed by an astronomical instmment the intensity is a function of two spatial directions on the sky (right ascension and declination - analogous to longitude and latitude) and the wavelength dimension.

A CCD array collects simultaneously the spectral data emanating from an array of spatial locations on the irradiated sample surface [20]. Thus, recorded is a three-dimensional data cube, with two coordinates representing the sample and one for the spectral dimension at each (x,y) point (cf. Figure 2). The spectral dimension in this case is only the intensity of a certain Raman band, used to identify the component of interest. This band should be unique for the component of interest of the sample and its intensity should be high enough in... 

For this chapter, we will reduce three-dimensional data to one-dimensional data using the techniques of projection and rotation. The (x, y, z.) data will be projected onto the (x, z) plane and then rotated onto the x axis. This chapter is purely pedagogical and is intended only to demonstrate the use of projection and rotation as geometric terms. 

The second graphical representation using MATLAB software is that of a three-dimensional surface plot (Table 75-3, Figure 75-4). This plot visually represents the three-dimensional data where the X and Y axes are spatial dimensions and the Z axis depicts absorbance. The MATLAB commands for this graphic are given in Table 75-3 where A represents the raster data matrix given in Table 75-1. 

MS offers the opportunity for both qualitative and quantitative analysis in a single instrument and even in a single experiment. In full-scan mode, mass spectra are continuously scanned as the gas chromatographic analysis proceeds. As shown in Fig. 14.8, GC/MS provides a three-dimensional data set with axes of time, mass-to-charge ratio and... 

Recently, however, NMR techniques have been developed that can be used to considerably accelerate the measurement of large three-dimensional data sets [31,32], These reduced-dimensionality techniques have already been successfully used in in-cell NMR applications [16]. In the future these techniques might enable the complete backbone assignment of a protein in its natural environment and might enable detailed investigation of different folding states.

All obtainable three-dimensional data sets were used to test this methodology. They were the following Aluminium Iron alloy [20], Brucite (Mg(OH)2), CNBA, DMABC, DMACB, Copper Perchlorophthalocyanine, Poly(l-butene) form III, Polyethylene, Silicon surface, Poly (1,4- trans-cyclohexanediyl dimethylene succinate) (T-cds)... 

Although in principle the time structure of the SR beam may be exploited in time resolved studies the major limiting factor is the rate at which three dimensional data may be accumulated. In this respect time resolved methods are bound to develop in tandem with the development of high count rate/fast refresh rate electronic area detectors. This applies to both monochromatic and white beam methods. For the latter the use of an integrating detector such as a CCD or image plate are the main expected improvements over film. 

HIV protease is a dimer in which each monomer has an active site containing one or two aspartate residues. Using crystallographic three-dimensional data and molecular modeling studies, drugs have been designed to be transition-state mimetics, aligning at the enzyme active site. Some of the successful protease inhibitors include saquinavir (9.25), ritonavir (9.26), indinavir (9.27), nelfinavir (9.28), and amprenavir (9.29). 

When the significant PC s have been extracted from X, the information left in the error matrix, E, can be used to estimate the residual variance of the model. This corresponds to constructing a tolerance volume around the PC model. This can be illustrated only with three-dimensional data and a one-dimensional PC model (Figure 6.5). There are no mathematical restrictions on estimating the residual variance in higher-dimensional models, but the human ability to visualize and understand spaces with more than three dimensions is limited. The residual variance can be calculated as... 

In addition the electron diffraction data proved to be relatively insensitive to the orientation of the -CH2OH groups. The refined values of were consistent with the preferred orientation of the lamellae with the 110 planes perpendicular to the surface. Viewed in this projection the rotation of C6-06 about C5-C6 is seen as a short linear oscillation, making it much more difficult to determine X than would be the case if full three dimensional data were available. 

The gross features of the structure proposed by Waser and his associates have been confirmed by Mak and Trotter (1962), who have completed a more detailed X-ray analysis using partial three-dimensional data. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric crystal unit. The results of Mak and Trotter s refinement show that the two molecules are planar within the... 

Phenazine (39) is found in two crystalline modifications, a- and jS-(Herbstein and Schmidt, 1955a). The a-form (space group P2ja, with two molecules in the unit cell) has been studied at room temperature (Herbstein and Schmidt, 1955a, b) and at about 90°K (Hirshfeld and Schmidt, 1957). The more accurate low-temperature analysis using partial three-dimensional data indicates that the deviations from the expected mmm molecular symmetry only exceed the estimated experimental accuracy ( + 0-003 A) in a direction normal to the mean molecular plane, the maximum deviation being 0-010 A. This slight non-planarity of the molecule is ascribed to the action of intermolecular forces. 

The structure of the closely related molecule, 1,2-cyclopentenophen-anthrene, has been determined and refined with partial three-dimensional data by least-squares methods by Entwhistle and Iball (1961). Independent confirmation of the correctness of this structure has been provided by Basak and Basak (1959) who did not, however, carry out any refinement of the structure. Entwhistle and Iball s results show that the molecule is not planar the deviations of the carbon atoms from the mean molecular plane are shown in Fig. 9 (the standard deviations of the atomic coordinates lie between 0-009 and 0-015 A). The three aromatic rings appear to be linked in a slightly twisted arrangement. Atoms H and K, which are bonded to the overcrowded hydrogen atoms, are displaced almost the same distance on opposite sides of the mean plane. In the five-membered ring, atoms C and E are below the molecular plane by about 0-10 A while atom D lies 0-18 A... 

The aromatic hydrocarbons 1,2-7,8-dibenzocoronene (79) and 1,12-2,3-4,5-6,7-8,9-10,11-hexabenzocoronene (80) have been studied, using partial three-dimensional data, by Robertson and Trotter (1961a, b) as part of a series of investigations into polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The carbon skeletons of dibenzocoronene and hexabenzo-coronene are planar to within 0-038 and 0-065 A respectively. The r.m.s. deviations of the atoms from the appropriate mean molecular planes are 0-016 and 0-024 A, compared with the average estimated standard deviations in atomic position of 0-012 and 0-020 A respectively. There are, however, some indications from the electron density maps... 

The remaining polynuclear hydrocarbons to be considered in this classification are 1,9-5,10-diperinaphthyleneanthracene and dinaph-tho(7, l -l,13)(l",7"-6,8)peropyrene, both of which have been studied by X-ray diffraction techniques using partial three-dimensional data. 

When we now compute chromaticities, the three-dimensional data points are projected onto the plane r + g + b = 1. The linear combination results in a two-dimensional line in chromaticity space. Let Cm be the chromaticity of the matte color and let cs be the chromaticity of the specular color. Then, the dichromatic line on the plane r + g + b = 1... 

FT-IR spectrometers have interferometers with scanning velocities enabling the collection of tens of spectra per second at a spectral resolution of 8 cnr1 or less. With faster data collection capabilities, FT-IR spectroscopy can be used to monitor and observe dynamic gas-phase processes. To observe such a process, interferograms are sequentially collected and stored in the memory of the system. The interferograms are then processed at the end of the data acquisition. The result of this operation is a three-dimensional data cube where each vertical slice of the cube is the spectrum for a time slice in the experiment equal to the interferogram acquisition time.
