The holistic thermodynamic approach based on material (charge, concentration and electron) balances is a firm and valuable tool for a choice of the best a priori conditions of chemical analyses performed in electrolytic systems. Such an approach has been already presented in a series of papers issued in recent years, see [1-4] and references cited therein. In this communication, the approach will be exemplified with electrolytic systems, with special emphasis put on the complex systems where all particular types (acid-base, redox, complexation and precipitation) of chemical equilibria occur in parallel and/or sequentially. All attainable physicochemical knowledge can be involved in calculations and none simplifying assumptions are needed. All analytical prescriptions can be followed. The approach enables all possible (from thermodynamic viewpoint) reactions to be included and all effects resulting from activation barrier(s) and incomplete set of equilibrium data presumed can be tested. The problems involved are presented on some examples of analytical systems considered lately, concerning potentiometric titrations in complex titrand + titrant systems. All calculations were done with use of iterative computer programs MATLAB and DELPHI. 

From a computational viewpoint, the presence of recycle streams is one of the impediments in the sequential solution of a flowsheeting problem. Without recycle streams, the flow of information would proceed in a forward direction, and the cal-culational sequence for the modules could easily be determined from the precedence order analysis outlined earlier. With recycle streams present, large groups of modules have to be solved simultaneously, defeating the concept of a sequential solution module by module. For example, in Figure 15.8, you cannot make a material balance on the reactor without knowing the information in stream S6, but you have to carry out the computations for the cooler module first to evaluate S6, which in turn depends on the separator module, which in turn depends on the reactor module. Partitioning identifies those collections of modules that have to be solved simultaneously (termed maximal cyclical subsystems, loops, or irreducible nets). 

Phenol methylation to 2,6-xylenol has been widely studied for the past few deeades owing to the room for improvisation from the viewpoint of product selectivity. Generally during phenol methylation to 2,6-xylenol, occurs via sequential methylation of phenol to o-cresol to 2,6-xylenol, various reaction parameters mediate the selectivity between the two. For instance, when the reaetants stoichiometry of methanol to phenol molar ratio > 2, and significant residence time of o-cresol may favor 2,6-xylenol selectivity. However, excess methanol is often used, sinee some amount of methanol tend to undergo oxidation into various reformate produets [71] under vapor phase condition. Similarly, reaction temperature, catalyst acid-base property, and space velocity of the reaetant are the parameters that govern the selectivity to 2,6-xylenol. 

For Kosan and others in the pharmaceutical industry, the intent is to learn enough about these enzymes from a structure-function viewpoint so they can be manipulated. Because polyketides are built by starting from one point and continuing sequentially along the pathway dictated by protein structure, a biochemist can trace through a molecule and make structure-function predictions for the assembly enzymes with reasonable accuracy. Using recombinant DNA methods,... 

Doubts about the impact on crystallization of such processes have already been raised by the present author in a paper that, very gracefully, Gert Strobl allowed to be published in parallel with his own contribution that presented a different viewpoint [8]. In that paper, the preeminence of a more classical nucleation and growth scheme (Fig. 1) was advocated crystallization is viewed as a more sequential process in which incoming stems probe the crystal growth face and are accepted if they fulfill the correct criteria. If not, the incoming stems are rejected or must undertake conformational adjustments. In other words, the classical nucleation and growth process can be seen as dominated or controlled by the crystal (substrate structure, or... 

Though there are no restrictions on the number of compound layers growing simultaneously in the reaction controlled regimes, from a physicochemical viewpoint their formation in the A-B reaction couple of a multiphase binary system must be sequential and not simultaneous. 

Many studies have depicted coal liquefaction in terms of the sequential progression through the series of intermediate steps from preasphaltene to asphaltene to oil. Other approaches have emphasized the changes in functional groups over the course of liquefaction. Our recent work (20, 21, 23, 24, 28) has concentrated on the fate and changes in the asphaltene fraction of liquid products as the severity of hydrotreatment was varied. In the course of this work, we have developed certain viewpoints on the importance of the character of asphaltenes to physical properties of coal liquids and the relationship of processing history to asphaltene character. What follows is an overview of what we feel are the more important observations. 

From a computational viewpoint, the method does not require the inversion of large matrices, and thus computer memory requirements are small. Typical diffusion controlled reactions often produce sharp gradients in the concentration field [47]. Grid refinement to take these into account in three dimensions is difficult. The analogous problem for pairwise Brownian dynamics, which is the optimal location of the initiation points for the trajectories on the spherical initiation surface is much simpler to accomplish. Furthermore, the computations can easily be performed in parallel, since the result from each trajectory is independent of the rest. This also allows for sequential refining of... 

A simplified version of the scheme of Tessier et al. has been developed during the past years (40, 41). The scheme is made of three sequential extractions called A, B, C, which can leach respectively the exchangeable and carbonatic fraction (A), the reducible Fe-Mn hydroxides phase (B) and the organic matter together with the sulphides (C). The residual fraction is normally disregarded because total dissolution of the same samples is always performed, so that the residual fraction can be caleulated as the difference. Moreover, the residual fraction is the less important one from the viewpoint of bioavailability of trace metals. 

The third section describes the hierarchy and supramolecular chirality of molecular assemblies in the crystalline state. The steroidal molecules construct hierarchical assemblies on the basis of sequential information, as in the case of proteins. The notable feature is that each hierarchical assembly exhibits supramolecular chirality, such as three-axial, tilt, helical, and bundle chirality. On the other hand, the primary ammonium salts construct hierarchical hydrogen bonding networks which, in some cases, create supramolecular chirality from achiral components. The creation of chirality can be interpreted from a topological viewpoint, leading us to define the handedness of the supramolecular chirality. At the end of this section we present the general concept that molecular-level information on organic substances can be expressed by their assemblies through non-covalent interactions. 

Chang and Silvestri [lb], reporting the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons over zeolite ZSM-5, also favored a carbene mechanism for initial C-C bond formation. However, the complicity of free carbenes was considered unlikely from an energetics viewpoint, and a concerted mechanism was proposed for carbene generation with concurrent sp3 insertion into MeOH or DME. Later, the possibility of a sequential mechanism was considered [14]. 

The statistical analysis of data requires a proper design of experiments to prove or disprove a certain hypothesis which has been formulated in advance. From the viewpoint of a puritanical statistician most QSAR analyses are forbidden , because they are retrospective studies and, in addition, many different hypotheses (i.e. combinations of independent variables) are tested sequentially. Indeed, many problems arise from the application of regression analysis in ill-conditioned data sets. Only in later stages of lead structure optimization are certain hypotheses, e.g. on the influence of more lipophilic, electronegative, polar, or bulky substituents in a certain position, systematically tested, now fulfilling the requirements for the proper application of statistical methods. 

In an acyclic system, the sequential modular approach is ideal from a computational viewpoint. However, most of the process plants involve recycles, particularly those highly integrated, in that case the problem cannot be solved directly and an iterative process must be used. Consider, for example, the simple flowsheet in Figure 8.8a. All the degrees of freedom are satisfied however, to calculate the mixer, we need to completely know both the feed stream and the recycle stream, but we only know the feed. To calculate the recycle stream, we should solve the compressor ... 

System safety is effectively a risk management process that deals on hazards, potential mishaps, and risk. System safety is involved in many different aspects of system/product development however, it is structured around the six core elements that form the system safety process. These six elements are the building blocks that shape a foundation for the SSP. Rgure 2.87 shows the core system safety elements and their interrelatedness. This viewpoint shows the core process as a sequence of tasks however, in reality, they are quasi-sequential steps as the process has many iterations and interrelationships. 

Speakers can use mimetic and analytic viewpoints as building blocks to construct representations that integrate more than one viewpoint simultaneously and sequentially. Speakers can potentially represent eight different combinations of viewpoint in speech and gesture (Table 7.1). 

Speakers can deploy both speech and gesture to represent more than one viewpoint simultaneously and sequentially in their narratives ... 

Sequential Viewpoints. Individuals frequently link analytic and simultaneous viewpoints in a sequence of contrasting or thematically linked viewpoints, Or, they may describe a single event from a variety of viewpoints. These complex narratives may help narrators integrate the complex and frequently contradictory viewpoints that characterize risk. When speakers deploy more than one viewpoint in sequence, audiences must continually redefine their interpretation of the narrator s position in time and space. The following hypothetical narrative combines several viewpoints in sequence ... 

Feature-selection techniques can be generally considered as a combination of both a search algorithm and a criterion function. The solution to feature-selection problem is offered by the search algorithm, which generates a subset of features and compares them on the basis of the criterion function. From a computational viewpoint, an exhaustive search for the optimal solution becomes intractable even for moderate values of features (Siedlecki and Sklansky 1988). Despite these apparent difficulties, many feature-selection approaches have been developed (Serpico and Bruzzone 1994). The sequential forward selection (SFS) and the sequential backward selection (SBS) techniques are the simplest suboptimal search strategies they can identify the best feature subset achievable by adding (to an empty set in SFS) or removing (from the complete set from SBS) one feature at a time, until the desired number of features is achieved.
