The digital output of the thermoelectromotive force of the CA thermocouple to measure the Tj-e/is then noted down as the exact value of of the run, and the zero-suppression procedure is performed. For the term, the zero-suppression procedure, refer to a footnote in Subsection 4.5.5. 

A procedure to cancel electrically the slight pseudo-thermoelectromotive force of the differential thermocouple, which is composed of the thermocouple to measure the temperature of the reference material, or the temperature of the chemical tested, and that to measure the T by operating the zero-suppression circuit. The concrete procedure is to set the indicator of the analog D.C. microvoltmeter to the graduation line of zero at the center of the scale span of the meter. 

The standard procedure for finding the minimum of a function of several variables is to take the partial derivative with respect to each variable and set the result equal to zero. Taking the derivative with respect to each unknown coefficient and setting the result equal to zero gives (summation interval suppressed)... 

If bound state effects are suppressed, the classical profile peaks at zero frequency where it has a zero slope the classical profile is symmetric in frequency. The quantum profile, on the other hand, peaks at somewhat higher frequencies and has a logarithmic slope of h/2kT near zero frequency. At positive frequencies, the quantum profile is more intense than the classical profile, but at not too small negative frequencies the opposite is true. These facts are related to the different symmetries of these profiles, which we examine in the next subsection. We note that various procedures have been proposed to correct classical profiles somehow so that these simulate the symmetry of quantum profiles. 

The CRI, like MCIs, is a structural parameter calculated from the hydrogen suppressed skeleton of a molecule. Sacan and Inel (1995) provide a discussion of the procedure used to calculate the CRI. The authors state that the CRI comprises more structural features than the first order MCI because CRI includes all possible orders of MCIs except zero order, and CRI is more sensitive to the chlorine substitutions pattern and branching. 

The amount of Monte Carlo selection that has been employed in different studies has varied. For example, Blais and Bunker [48, 305] used a complete Monte Carlo procedure in their studies of the K + CH3I reaction, although the distribution of one or more parameters could be suppressed, allowing them to observe how particular results depended on different features of the collisions. On the other hand, Karplus et al. [20] adopted a rather different approach in their investigation of the H + Ha system. A batch of trajectories was calculated with particular values of v, b and vibrational and rotational energies of H2. The remainder of the variables were chosen by Monte Carlo methods. The vibrational and rotational energies corresponded to individual rotational states in the zero-point vibrational level. By averaging the results... 

A number of methods have been developed to suppress contributions to the spectrum from zero-quantum coherence. Most of these utilise the property that zero-quantum coherence evolves in time, whereas z-magnetization does not. Thus, if several experiments in which the zero-quantum has been allowed to evolve for different times are co-added, cancellation of zero-quantum contributions to the spectrum will occur. Like phase cycling, such a method is time consuming and relies on a difference procedure. However, it has been shown that if a field gradient is combined with a period of spin-locking the coherences which give rise to these zero-quantum coherences can be dephased. Such a process is conveniently considered as a modified purging pulse. 

One way to suppress high-frequency motions initially is to set Wg = 0. However, this distorts the flow and leads to generation of high-frequency waves due to the nonlinear term Ng in Eq. (50). The essence of NNMI is to keep a small amount of Wg initially so that the initial Wg will not grow. For example, if we set Wg = —I g Ng initially, dWG Idt becomes zero initially as seen from Eq. (50). One can develop more sophisticated procedures to control the generation of excessive high-frequency motions. 

Here, n, k and t are the initial trial values of n2, 2 and t, respectively (the subscript 2 is suppressed here), and n", k and t" are the new trial values. This procedure is repeated with the new trial values until the differences between the measured and calculated values are close to zero within desired error margins ...
