Very low energy

Adapted input window and screen substrate allowing transmission of low energy X-rays. For very low energy (typically below 30 keV) a thin Be window is used. Such a window in combination with a Be screen substrate will make possible imaging down to 3 keV. 

The most ambitious approaches to the protein folding problem attempt to solve it from firs principles (ab initio). As such, the problem is to explore the coirformational space of th molecule in order to identify the most appropriate structure. The total number of possibl conformations is invariably very large and so it is usual to try to find only the very lowes energy structure(s). Some form of empirical force field is usually used, often augmente with a solvation term (see Section 11.12). The global minimum in the energy function i assumed to correspond to the naturally occurring structure of the molecule. 

Conformation search techniques can be used to find very-low-energy conformations, which are most relevant to polymers that will be given a long annealing time. 

Rhenium, atomic wt 186.2, occurs in nature as two nucHdes Re [14391-28-7] mass 184.9530, in 37.500% abundance and Re [14391-29-8], mass 186.9560, in 62.500% abundance. The latter isotope is radioactive, emitting very low energy radiation and having a half-life estimated at 4.3 ( 0.5) X 10 ° yr. The radioactive decay of this isotope has been used to date accurately the time of Earth s formation. 

In the analogous RBS analysis, da/dil is given precisely and analytically by the Rutherford scattering formula. Unfortunately, the case of ( He, H) scattering is not quite so simple. While the processes are indeed elastic, their cross sections are dominated by nuclear interaction components except at very low energies. (The H(%e, iH)%e cross section approaches the Rutherford value for energies below 0.8 MeV.)...

Very low energy differences also result for different polyhedra with higher coordination numbers, including coordination number 7. In these cases the electron pair repulsion theory no longer allows reliable predictions. 

The photoassisted reduction of C02 with suspended semiconductor powders gives, at present, very low energy efficiencies (at most, ca. 0.01% or less). The use of colloidal semiconductor particles is more efficient in some cases. 

The mechanisms of explosions in solidified gas mixtures at low temperatures containing unsaturated hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is discussed. Fast radical addition of nitrogen dioxide to double bonds is involved, and with dienes it is a fast reaction of very low energy of activation. Possibilities of preventing explosions are discussed. 

Complexes 41 and 42 were characterized by their IR and H-NMR spectra, and 41 also by elemental analysis. Table III contains the pertinent spectral data. Noteworthy are the very low energy terminal carbonyl bands for 41 and 42 at 1864 cm-1 (hexane). The weak 7r-accepting abilities of PR3 (R = Et, Ph) allow the lone CO ligand to 77-backbond to the Ti(II) center to a much greater degree. The -NMR spectrum of 41 exhibited a doublet (/H-p = 1.5 Hz) at 8 4.75 due to the coupling of the cyclo-pentadienyl protons with the 31P nucleus, while complex 42 exhibited a broad cyclopentadienyl singlet at 8 4.67. 

Heating by means of single-mode microwave irradiation enables readily adjustable and controlled bulk heating which can be performed safely and with very low energy consumption. The synthetic chemist of today can take advantage of the unique carbon-carbon bond formation reactions afforded by organometallic chemistry and make the reaction happen in seconds or minutes, an important feat, because many transition-metal-catalyzed reactions are time-consuming.
