Quantum Similarity Theoretical Framework, Ordering Principles and Visualization Techniques. 

Flow visualization is a branch of fluid mechanics that provides visual perception of the dynamic behavior of fluids flows. The fundamental principle of any flow visualization technique lies in the detection of fluid transport by altering the fluid properties while leaving the fluid motion unaltered. Microscale flow visualization focuses on imaging microfluidic flows, with the most common techniques broadly classified into particle-based and scalar-based methods.

To understand the principles at which biological systems operate, detailed studies on ultrastructure, material properties, force range, and motion pattern during locomotion are necessary. Such studies have become possible in the past several years due to new developments (1) in microscopical visualization techniques (atomic force microscopy, freezing and environmental scanning electron microscopy), (2) in characterisation of mechanical properties of biological materials and structures in situ and in vivo (measurements of stiffness, hardness, adhesion, friction) at local and global scales, and (3) in computer simulations. 

The method of volume rendering uses the whole sample volume for visualization. Therefor semitransparent representations of the samples inner structure are possible and the detection of small cracks or faults is much easier compared to the surfaces based techniques (Fig. 4 b). From its principle volume rendering is more time consuming compared to surface representation. 

Such a function exhibits peaks (Fig. 9C) that correspond to interatomic distances but are shifted to smaller values (recall the distance correction mentioned above). This finding was a major breakthrough in the analysis of EXAFS data since it allowed ready visualization. However, because of the shift to shorter distances and the effects of truncation, such an approach is generally not employed for accurate distance determination. This approach, however, allows for the use of Fourier filtering techniques which make possible the isolation of individual coordination shells (the dashed line in Fig. 9C represents a Fourier filtering window that isolates the first coordination shell). After Fourier filtering, the data is back-transformed to k space (Fig. 9D), where it is fitted for amplitude and phase. The basic principle behind the curve-fitting analysis is to employ a parameterized function that will model the... 

There are three potential methods by which a protein s three-dimensional structure can be visualized X-ray diffraction, NMR and electron microscopy. The latter method reveals structural information at low resolution, giving little or no atomic detail. It is used mainly to obtain the gross three-dimensional shape of very large (multi-polypeptide) proteins, or of protein aggregates such as the outer viral caspid. X-ray diffraction and NMR are the techniques most widely used to obtain high-resolution protein structural information, and details of both the principles and practice of these techniques may be sourced from selected references provided at the end of this chapter. The experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of some polypeptides are presented in Figure 2.8. 

The credit load for die computational chemistry laboratory course requires that the average student should be able to complete almost all of the work required for the course within die time constraint of one four-hour laboratory period per week. This constraint limits the material covered in the course. Four principal computational methods have been identified as being of primary importance in the practice of chemistry and thus in the education of chemistry students (1) Monte Carlo Methods, (2) Molecular Mechanics Methods, (3) Molecular Dynamics Simulations, and (4) Quantum Chemical Calculations. Clearly, other important topics could be added when time permits. These four methods are developed as separate units, in each case beginning with die fundamental principles including simple programming and visualization, and building to the sophisticated application of the technique to a chemical problem. 

Chapters 4-6 address specific diagnostic methods in PEFCs. Martin et al. provide a detailed review of methods for distributed diagnostics of species, temperature, and current in PEFCs in Chapter 4. In Chapter 5, Hussey and Jacobson describe the operational principles of neutron radiography for in-situ visualization of liquid water distribution, and also outline issues related to temporal and spatial resolution. Tsushima and Hirai describe both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for visualization of water in PEFCs and tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) for measurement of water vapor concentration in Chapter 6.
