Transformations of coordinates

the transformation of coordinates can be written in index notation as 

This type of transformation will be used to assist in the definition of various orders of tensors. Each tensor will be defined on the basis of the type of transformation it satisfies. Tensors transform according to the relations 

From the set of geometrical parameters given in Section III, it is possible to compute the cartesian coordinates of each atom of an amino acid residue in a coordinate system fixed on the particular residue. But, since the position of every residue with respect to every other one in a polypeptide chain can be varied by varying all of the iff a, and y/s (see Fig. 2), 

In the particular case of regular, or helical, structures simple procedures are available to relate the dihedral angles (which repeat in every residue of a regular structure) to the parameters n and h (Mizushima and Shimanouchi, 1961 Miyazawa, 1961 Sugeta and Miyazawa, 1967 Kijima et al., 1967).

Consider the behavior of various tensors under the transformation of coordinates in Figure A-1 where a rotation about the z-axis is made. That is, the x, y, z coordinates are transformed to the x , y , z coordinates where the z-direction coincides with the z -direction. The direction cosines for this transformation are... 

The total molecular energy is invariant to all transformations involving basis orbitals, just as any physical event is invariant under any transformation of coordinates. But just as the proper choice of coordinates helps in visualizing physical events, so the choice of the proper orbital basis is helpful in visualizing molecular properties. 

The proceeding of common methods of data analysis can be traced back to a few fundamental principles the most essential of which are dimensionality reduction, transformation of coordinates, and eigenanalysis. 

The solution to this problem is found by a simple transformation of coordinates. The solution to case 5 represents a puff fixed around the release point. If the puff moves with the wind along the x axis, the solution to this case is found by replacing the existing coordinate x by a new coordinate system, x — ut, that moves with the wind velocity. The variable t is the time since the release of the puff, and u is the wind velocity. The solution is simply Equation 5-29, transformed into this new coordinate system ... 

For this case the result is obtained using a transformation of coordinates similar to the transformation used for case 7. The result is... 

The first term is the intrinsic electronic energy of the adsorbate eo is the energy required to take away an electron from the atom. The second term is the potential energy part of the ensemble of harmonic oscillators we do not need the kinetic part since we are interested in static properties only. The last term denotes the interaction of the adsorbate with the solvent the are the coupling constants. By a transformation of coordinates the last two terms can be combined into the same form that was used in Chapter 6 in the theory of electron-transfer reactions. 

Formally, we call the set of reaction solvable, if there exists a linear transformation of coordinates a- a such that kinetic equation in new coordinates for all values of reaction constants has the triangle form ... 

Assuming that a polynomial has been found which adequately represents the response behavior, it is now possible to reduce the polynomial to its canonical form. This simply involves a transformation of coordinates so as to express the response in a form more readily interpreted. If a unique optimum (analogous to a mountain peak in three dimensions) is present, it will automatically be located. If (as is usual in multidimensional problems) a more complex form results, the canonical equation will permit proper interpretation of it. 

The form of W as a function of the set of must be derived from molecular theory or from experimental measurement. It cannot be deduced from the phenomenologic theory of continua, just as the free energy cannot be deduced from thermodynamics. However, the phenomenologic theory imposes the following restrictions on the form of W if the material is isotropic 18 First, W must be an even power function of X,-(restriction A). Second, W must be invariant for permutations of Xt (restriction B). Third, W must be invariant for the transformation of coordinate axes (restriction C). 

An especially interesting and important observation is the transformation of coordinated NO to NH3 on the complex [Ru(trpy)(cipy)L]2+ (trpy = 2,2,2"-terpyridine and bipy = 2,2 -bipyridine) through the nitrosyl complex [Ru(trpy)NO]3+. This models the reaction of the enzyme nitrite reductions. 

Two terms in Eqs. (17) and (18) are worthy of special note. In Eq. (17) the term pvj/r is the centrifugal force. That is, it is the effective force in the r direction arising from fluid motion in the 0 direction. Similarly, in Eq. (18) pvrvg/r is the Coriolis force, or effective force in the 0 direction due to motion in both the r and 0 directions. Both of these forces arise naturally in the transformation of coordinates from the Cartesian frame to the cylindrical polar frame. They are properly part of the acceleration vector and do not need to be added on physical grounds. 

Variational principles have turned out to be of great practical use in modem theory. They often provide a compact and general statement of theory, invariant or covariant under transformations of coordinates or functions, and can be used to formulate internally consistent computational algorithms. Symmetry properties are often most easily derived in a variational formalism.
