First-order estimates of entropy are often based on the observation that heat capacities and thereby entropies of complex compounds often are well represented by summing in stoichiometric proportions the heat capacities or entropies of simpler chemical entities. Latimer [12] used entropies of elements and molecular groups to estimate the entropy of more complex compounds see Spencer for revised tabulated values [13]. Fyfe et al. [14] pointed out a correlation between entropy and molar volume and introduced a simple volume correction factor in their scheme for estimation of the entropy of complex oxides based on the entropy of binary oxides. The latter approach was further developed by Holland [15], who looked into the effect of volume on the vibrational entropy derived from the Einstein and Debye models.

The most common associated adverse effects include appetite suppression, restlessness, activation, tremor, insomnia, and nausea (Preskorn and Othmer, 1984). Delusions and hallucinations (Golden et ah, 1985) as well as tic exacerbations have been observed in children with ADHD and Tourette s syndrome (Spencer et ah, 1993). 

Biederman et al. (1989a,b) also found desipramine (at the relatively high mean dose of 4.6 mg/kg/day) to be safe and effective for treatment of ADD. Despite these positive results, however, concerns about prolonged cardiac conduction times and the reports of several sudden deaths of children on desipramine have left many clinicians and parents reluctant to use the drug (Riddle, et ah, 1993). Another less well-studied tricyclic, nortriptyline, which some believe to have less potential cardiotoxicity, has shown promise in a retrospective study in children with ADHD plus tic disorder (Spencer et al., 1993b).

Spencer et al. populated the Na 19s state and observed the sum of the populations in the 19s, 19p, and 18p states, at times from 2-32 /is after the laser excitation, to determine the sum of the radiative transition rates from the 19s to 18p and 19p states.20 The measurements were made at temperatures from 6 K to 210 K with the results shown in Fig. 5.6. As shown by Fig. 5.6, the observed rates agree well with the calculated rates, shown by the line. At 0 K the rate is entirely due to the spontaneous 19s — 18p transition, and the increase above this rate is due to thermal radiative transfer to both the 18p and 19p states. It is interesting to note that above 30 K the transfer rate increases linearly with T as expected from Eq. (5.16). The linear behavior only occurs above 30 K since only then is kT > (o for these two transitions. 

Incorporation of strong acids into the FREZCHEM model extended the model lower temperature range from 219 K (the eutectic of seawater) to 195 K [the eutectic of HCl-6H20(cr)[. As fpd data were used to define water activities at these low temperatures, it became apparent that the original equation defining the equilibrium of ice and liquid water at temperatures below 228 K (Spencer et al. 1990) did not fit the fpd data well. This necessitated a reevaluation of the relationship. 

The internal pressure n is closely related to the cohesive energy density ecoh. Therefore we pay some attention to this subject. Spencer and Gilmore (1949,1950) showed that the p-v-T behaviour of polymer melts can be represented reasonably well by the following modified Van der Waals equation of state4 ... 

This procedure is a modification of one recently described in the literature.3 The first step is based on early work of Fittig 4 and Volhard5 as modified by Spencer and Wright.2 The third step, ring closure of a 7-haloketone, is well known.5-6 Dicyclopropyl ketone was reported to form in small amounts from the decarboxylation of cyclopropanecarboxylic acid over thoria,7 but there is some doubt3 about the product. Dicyclopropyl ketone is available in research quantities from the Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee 12, Wisconsin, and from Columbia Organic Chemicals, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina.
