Visualization problem high order

It appears like a miracle how aliphatic chains (mainly olefins and paraffins) are formed from a mixture of CO and H2. But miracle means only high complexity of unknown order (Figure 9.1). Problems in FT synthesis research include the visualization of a multistep reaction scheme where adsorbed intermediates are not easily identified. Kinetic constants of the elemental reactions are not directly accessible. Models and assumptions are needed. The steady state develops slowly. The true catalyst is assembled under reaction conditions. Difficulties with product analysis result from the presence of hundreds of compounds (gases, liquids, solids) and from changes of composition with time. 

The hypothesis of a normal distribution is a strong limitation that should be always kept in mind when PCA is used. In electronic nose experiments, samples are usually extracted from more than one class, and it is not always that the totality of measurements results in a normally distributed data set. Nonetheless, PCA is frequently used to analyze electronic nose data. Due to the high correlation normally shown by electronic nose sensors, PCA allows a visual display of electronic nose data in either 2D or 3D plots. Higher order methods were proposed and studied to solve pattern recognition problems in other application fields. It is worth mentioning here the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) that has been applied successfully in image and sound analysis problems [18]. Recently ICA was also applied to process electronic nose data results as a powerful pre-processor of data [19]. 

In order to demonstrate the manifold catalytic activities attributed to the enzyme, which was visualized as a multienzyme complex, we were able to utilize the earlier experience gained, by replacing the complicated coenzyme A residue by iV-acetyl cysteamine or pantetheine. For the problem under discussion, this technique proved to be tremendously useful, so that we were able to demonstrate every single reaction step in our hypothetical sequence independent of preceding or subsequent reactions. The affinity of these model compounds is generally rather low compared with the natural substrates. But this could be circumvented by employing high concentrations of the model substrates. 

At present, we find a considerable increase in calculations which try to trace the RP by mathematical procedures defined in the whole or in an "active coordinate space. It is of high chemical interest to profit from these calculations by finding further possibilities for visualizing properties such as RP curvature, RP bifurcation and RP stability etc. in order to explore or to interpret relations to experimental peculiarities of the chemical reactions. The developments in this field are still affected by a number of problems in defining a suitable static RP.
