Benjamin recently found for a 1,2-dichloroethane-water model system that, although the interface was molecularly sharp on time-average over hundreds of picoseconds, thermal fluctuations superimposed capillary waves as long as 0.8 nm on the sharp interface and generated a rough surface on the timescale of tens of...

There are three prominent water surface profile calculation programs available (AASHTO 2005, 2007). FH WA recommends HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System) that can use GIS (Geographic Information System) data for input for water surface profile calculations. Besides, WSPRO (Water Surface Profile) and SMS (Surface-water Modeling System) are two alternatives in practice. 

This study demonstrates the feasibility of the DIT-IR phase studies method using a near-IR microscope apparatus. Reasonable results were obtained on the C oPO/water model system, even using a mld-IR spectrometer which was not optimized for work in the near-IR region. In future work, a near-infrared FT-IR spectrometer with a CaFj beam splitter and a microscope with a small-area InSb detector will be utilized. Precise DIT-NDX measurements of the cell-chamber thickness will also be used to correct all the DIT-IR results for cell pathlength variations along the length of the cell. Such a correction was not performed on the data presented here. Very... 

Hydrogen-bonded clusters are an important class of molecular clusters, among which small water clusters have received a considerable amount of attention [148, 149]. Solvated cluster ions have also been produced and studied [150, 151]. These solvated clusters provide ideal model systems to obtain microscopic infonnation about solvation effect and its influence on chemical reactions. 

An important step in tire progress of colloid science was tire development of monodisperse polymer latex suspensions in tire 1950s. These are prepared by emulsion polymerization, which is nowadays also carried out industrially on a large scale for many different polymers. Perhaps tire best-studied colloidal model system is tliat of polystyrene (PS) latex [9]. This is prepared with a hydrophilic group (such as sulphate) at tire end of each molecule. In water tliis produces well defined spheres witli a number of end groups at tire surface, which (partly) ionize to... 

We shall illustrate the SISM described with two examples. The model system of a box of water molecules and the system of a box of linear molecules which are depicted in Figure 2. 

In Table 1 the CPU time required by the two methods (LFV and SISM) for 1000 MD integration steps computed on an HP 735 workstation are compared for the same model system, a box of 50 water molecules, respectively. The computation cost per integration step is approximately the same for both methods so that th< syieed up of the SISM over the LFV algorithm is deter-... 

T[[dotb]he nature of the initial attack by the water (eq. 10) is a matter of some controversy (205,206). Stereochemical and kinetic studies of model systems have been reported that support trans addition of external water (207,208) or internal addition of cis-coordinated water (209), depending on the particular model system under study. Other paHadium-cataly2ed oxidations of olefins ia various oxygen donor solvents produce a variety of products including aldehydes (qv), ketones (qv), vinyl acetate, acetals, and vinyl ethers (204). However the product mixtures are complex and very sensitive to conditions. 

Proper condensed phase simulations require that the non-bond interactions between different portions of the system under study be properly balanced. In biomolecular simulations this balance must occur between the solvent-solvent (e.g., water-water), solvent-solute (e.g., water-protein), and solute-solute (e.g., protein intramolecular) interactions [18,21]. Having such a balance is essential for proper partitioning of molecules or parts of molecules in different environments. For example, if the solvent-solute interaction of a glutamine side chain were overestimated, there would be a tendency for the side chain to move into and interact with the solvent. The first step in obtaining this balance is the treatment of the solvent-solvent interactions. The majority of biomolecular simulations are performed using the TIP3P [81] and SPC/E [82] water models. 

Another interesting class of phase transitions is that of internal transitions within amphiphilic monolayers or bilayers. In particular, monolayers of amphiphiles at the air/water interface (Langmuir monolayers) have been intensively studied in the past as experimentally fairly accessible model systems [16,17]. A schematic phase diagram for long chain fatty acids, alcohols, or lipids is shown in Fig. 4. On increasing the area per molecule, one observes two distinct coexistence regions between fluid phases a transition from a highly diluted, gas -like phase into a more condensed liquid expanded phase, and a second transition into an even denser... 

Lattice models for bulk mixtures have mostly been designed to describe features which are characteristic of systems with low amphiphile content. In particular, models for ternary oil/water/amphiphile systems are challenged to reproduce the reduction of the interfacial tension between water and oil in the presence of amphiphiles, and the existence of a structured disordered phase (a microemulsion) which coexists with an oil-rich and a water-rich phase. We recall that a structured phase is one in which correlation functions show oscillating behavior. Ordered lamellar phases have also been studied, but they are much more influenced by lattice artefacts here than in the case of the chain models. 

It has a molecular weight of about 34000 and contains one Zn tetrahedrally coordinated to two histidine N atoms, a carboxyl O of a glutamate residue, and a water molecule. The precise mechanism of its action is not finally settled in spite of the intensive study of model systems, but it is agreed that the first step is coordination of... 

When considering pressure drop models based only on water, hydrocarbons system capacity can be significantly overstated. For Nutter random ring packings the pressure drop/capacity models fit the data within +10% over the range of commercial interest, i.e., 0.1 to 1.0 in. water/ft of packing. Pressure drop alues for design operation should... 

If the second conclusion is correct, the Freons cannot be used to model burn-out in water-cooled systems to better than 7%, based on the available evidence for uniformly heated round tubes. 

Any colony optimization (ACO) and swarm intelligence are forms of agent-based modeling inspired by colonies of social animals such as ants and bees [32]. ACO has become popular in engineering for optimal routing in water distribution systems [33, 34]. Particle swarm optimization has been successfully used to train ANNs, for instance, ANNs to predict river water levels [35], for parameter estimation, for example, in hydrology [36].
