Another principal difficulty is that the precise effect of local dynamics on the NOE intensity cannot be determined from the data. The dynamic correction factor [85] describes the ratio of the effects of distance and angular fluctuations. Theoretical studies based on NOE intensities extracted from molecular dynamics trajectories [86,87] are helpful to understand the detailed relationship between NMR parameters and local dynamics and may lead to structure-dependent corrections. In an implicit way, an estimate of the dynamic correction factor has been used in an ensemble relaxation matrix refinement by including order parameters for proton-proton vectors derived from molecular dynamics calculations [72]. One remaining challenge is to incorporate data describing the local dynamics of the molecule directly into the refinement, in such a way that an order parameter calculated from the calculated ensemble is similar to the measured order parameter. 

Expression vectors are engineered so that any cloned insert can be transcribed into RNA, and, in many instances, even translated into protein. cDNA expression libraries can be constructed in specially designed vectors derived from either plasmids or bacteriophage A. Proteins encoded by the various cDNA clones within such expression libraries can be synthesized in the host cells, and if suitable assays are available to identify a particular protein, its corresponding cDNA clone can be identified and isolated. Expression vectors designed for RNA expression or protein expression, or both, are available. 

A major drawback of vectors derived from prototypic retroviruses is that they can only transduce dividing cells. Therefore, these vectors cannot be used for gene transfer in many nondividing cells (e.g., muscle and brain cells). 

Definition.—The set of all vectors derivable from any one vector in by multiplication by a scalar is called a ray in 3P.

The eigenvectors extracted from the cross-product matrices or the singular vectors derived from the data matrix play an important role in multivariate data analysis. They account for a maximum of the variance in the data and they can be likened to the principal axes (of inertia) through the patterns of points that represent the rows and columns of the data matrix [10]. These have been called latent variables [9], i.e. variables that are hidden in the data and whose linear combinations account for the manifest variables that have been observed in order to construct the data matrix. The meaning of latent variables is explained in detail in Chapters 31 and 32 on the analysis of measurement tables and contingency tables. 

Brain uptake data for some vectors are compared in Table 2.1. Quantitative comparisons within the same species are possible for the rat with vectors derived from the anti-TfR monoclonal antibody 0X26 and from cationized human serum albumin. To put the efficiency of brain delivery into perspective, the comparison to a classical neuroactive drug may be informative. In the rat, brain concentrations of morphine following systemic administration never exceed 0.08% of injected dose per gram [%ID g ] [82]. In contrast, 0X26 easily reaches concentrations in rat brain that are three to four times higher. Vectors based on cationized hu-...

The second term in Eq. 2.33 requires taking the divergence of a tensor. This operation, V pVV which produces a vector, is expanded in several coordinate systems in Section A.ll. In noncartesian coordinate systems, since the unit-vector derivatives do not all vanish, the divergence of a tensor produces some unexpected terms. 

The extra terms in the bottom row are a result of nonvanishing unit-vector derivatives. The tensor products of unit vectors (e.g., ezer) are called unit dyads. In matrix form, where the unit vectors (unit dyads) are implied but usually not shown, the velocity-gradient tensor is written as... 

The extra terms appear because in noncartesian coordinate systems the unit-vector derivatives do not all vanish. Only in cartesian coordinates are the components of the substantial derivative of a vector equal to the substantial derivative of the scalar components of the vector. The acceleration in the r direction is seen to involve w2, the circumferential velocity. This term represents the centrifugal acceleration associated with a fluid packet as it moves in an arc defined by the 9 coordinate. There is also a G acceleration caused by a radial velocity. In qualitative terms, one can visualize this term as being related to the circumferential acceleration (spinning rate) that a dancer or skater experiences as she brings her arms closer to her body. 

Figure 2.20 illustrates the unit vectors er and in a cylindrical coordinate system. Based on a geometric interpretation in the limit A0 - 0, develop expressions for der/d8 and deg/dd. Explain why the remaining seven unit-vector derivatives vanish (e.g., der/dr= 0). 

Carry out all the operations to evaluate the divergence of the stress tensor, V T. Be careful to consider that some unit-vector derivatives do not vanish. Check the results with those provided in the Appendix.
