Possible approaches

We proposed [7] two possible approaches to estimate these errors. Here we discuss them only briefly. Trajectories that are not too far from the optimal trajectory will have a significant weight. We denote by Xopt t) the optimized trajectory, and by Xexact t) the exact trajectory. The optimal trajectory is not the same as the exact trajectory, since it was computed with a large time step. SjlcP is expanded up to a second order near the optimal trajectory... [Pg.274]

Table 7.1 presents us with something of a dilemma. We would obviously desire to explore i much of the phase space as possible but this may be compromised by the need for a sma time step. One possible approach is to use a multiple time step method. The underlyir rationale is that certain interactions evolve more rapidly with rime than other interaction The twin-range method (Section 6.7.1) is a crude type of multiple time step approach, i that interactions involving atoms between the lower and upper cutoff distance remai constant and change only when the neighbour list is updated. However, this approac can lead to an accumulation of numerical errors in calculated properties. A more soph sticated approach is to approximate the forces due to these atoms using a Taylor seri< expansion [Streett et al. 1978] ... [Pg.377]

Many different approaches have been suggested as possible approaches to this problem, from the 1960s onwards [Verwer and Leusen 1998]. What is obvious from all of these ellorts is that this is an extremely difficult problem. Both thermodynamics and kinetics can be important in determining which crystalline form is obtained under a certain se1 of experimental conditions. Kinetic effects are particularly difficult to take into accouni and so are usually ignored. A proper treatment of the thermodynamic factors would lequire one to deal with the relative free energies of the different possible polymorphs... [Pg.517]

Whoever you are, you will certainly find discussion with your fellow students one way to get the most out of the programme and you may well find it is a good idea to work on the more difficult problems together. The review problems, revision problems, and problems without worked solutions are ideal for this. In some cases I have given references to the original hterature so that you can find out more details of the various possible approaches for yourself if you want to. It isn t necessary to look up any of these references as you work through the programme. [Pg.1]

Synthesis This is one possible approach - we don t actually know how it is done. [Pg.26]

In many appHcations, especially in the chemical and semiconductor fields, the closest possible approach to isothermal operation may be desired. Under these conditions, the effects of vapor velocity must be considered if the velocity of the vapor exceeds about Mach 0.1, when a noticeable temperature differential shows itself in the heat pipe. If near isothermal operation is desired, designers restrict the vapor velocity to lower levels. [Pg.512]

Another approach, the so-called seeding technique, provides preferential sites for the nucleation of scale, which permits the heat-transfer surfaces to remain clean of scale. Extensive studies of this technique have been conducted, and field use was reported ia the former USSR as early as the mid-1960s (42). The use of ion-exchange methods is another possible approach. Eor calcium, the exchange can be represented as... [Pg.241]

It should be recognized that the solutions and control mechanisms presented in the table are possible approaches for dealing with a particular issue. [Pg.3]

A simple, time-honoured illustration of the operation of the Monte Carlo approach is one curious way of estimating the constant n. Imagine a circle inscribed inside a square of side a, and use a table of random numbers to determine the cartesian coordinates of many points constrained to lie anywhere at random within the square. The ratio of the number of points that lies inside the circle to the total number of points within the square na l4a = nl4. The more random points have been put in place, the more accurate will be the value thus obtained. Of course, such a procedure would make no sense, since n can be obtained to any desired accuracy by the summation of a mathematical series... i.e., analytically. But once the simulator is faced with a eomplex series of particle movements, analytical methods quickly become impracticable and simulation, with time steps included, is literally the only possible approach. That is how computer simulation began. [Pg.466]

However, it has to be considered that it is neither the content of free formaldehyde itself nor the molar ratio which eventually should be taken as the decisive and the only criterion for the classification of a resin concerning the subsequent formaldehyde emission from the finished board. In reality, the composition of the glue mix as well as the various process parameters during the board production also determine both performance and formaldehyde emission. Depending on the type of board and the manufacturing process, it is sometimes recommended to use a UF-resin with a low molar ratio F/U (e.g. F/U = 1.03), hence low content of free formaldehyde, while sometimes the use of a resin with a higher molar ratio (e.g. F/U = 1.10) and the addition of a formaldehyde catcher/depressant will give better results [17]. Which of these two, or other possible approaches, is the better one in practice can only be decided in each case by trial and error. [Pg.1048]

Note that this question involved a biaxial state of stress in the material and hence, strictly speaking, the creep curves used are not appropriate. However, creep curves for biaxial states of stress are rarely available, and one possible approach is to calculate an equivalent stress, a , using a van Mises type criterion... [Pg.436]

No superconductivity has yet been found in carbon nanotubes or nanotube arrays. Despite the prediction that ID electronic systems cannot support supercon-ductivity[33,34], it is not clear that such theories are applicable to carbon nanotubes, which are tubular with a hollow core and have several unit cells around the circumference. Doping of nanotube bundles by the insertion of alkali metal dopants between the tubules could lead to superconductivity. The doping of individual tubules may provide another possible approach to superconductivity for carbon nanotube systems. [Pg.34]

The model (23) is simple to study, but unfortunately not very widely applicable. In general, one is more interested in situations where the interfaces are free to fold around and to assume every possible conformation. A second possible approach is to switch over to a lattice formulation. This has been done by a number of groups [231-233]. The resulting models are very... [Pg.668]

Chapter 6, Data Collection and Incident Analysis Methods, examines the pitfalls involved in collecting data on human error and suggests possible approaches to improving the quality of the data. [Pg.2]

While examining possible approaches to the sempervirine ring system Stevens found that when the pyridinium salt 238 was treated with acid a Pomeranz-Fritzch type eychzation occurred leading to 239. Without the protective influence of the benzyl group, attack at the indole nitrogen atom took place yielding 240. [Pg.137]

The stereochemistry of the product formed in the cycloaddition reaction depends on the approach of the substrate. There are two different approaches by which the reaction can proceed - endo and exo. For the reaction of e.g., a / , y-un-saturated a-keto ester with an ethyl vinyl ether there are four possible approaches... [Pg.153]

A possible approach to interpretation of a low-frequency region of the G ( ) dependence of filled polymers is to compare it with a specific relaxation mechanism, which appears due to the presence of a filler in the melt. We have already spoken about two possible mechanisms — the first, associated with adsorption phenomena on a filler s surface and the second, determined by the possibility of rotational diffusion of anisodiametrical particles with characteristic time D 1. But even if these effects are not taken into account, the presence of a filler can be related with the appearance of a new characteristic time, Xf, common for any systems. It is expressed in the following way... [Pg.94]

There are basically two possible approaches for real-time SPC. The first, done on-line, involves the rapid dimensional measurement of a part or a non-dimensional bulk... [Pg.334]

Possible approaches to the development of photo-catalytic solar energy converters. K. I. Zamaraev and V. N. Parmon, Russ. Chem. Rev. (Engt. Transl.), 1980, 49, 695-717 (408). [Pg.59]

In order to obtain any intermediate values of D there are various possible approaches which may be adoptea which involve changing amplitudes, frequencies and phase angle of the forcing functions. This should be noted but the possibilities will not be considered in any greater detail. [Pg.257]

Reduction in flammability is achieved by the incorporation of flame retardants into the polymer. Two possible approaches to this are available either the use of additives blended into the polymer at processing stage (additive type) or the use of alternative monomers which confer reduced flammability on the final product (reactive type). A number of elements have been found to assist with conferring flame retardancy on polymers, the main ones being bromine, chlorine, nitrogen, and phosphorus. [Pg.120]

Co-ordination chemistry is not the only possible approach to the successful preparation of supramolecular dendrimers. Other examples include hydrogen-bonded dendrimers, which have been prepared using tetracar-boxylic acid moieties as the linking species, and others have been prepared where the hydrogen bonds were developed using melamine and cyanuric acid at the focal point (i.e. the point towards which convergent synthesis is directed). [Pg.136]

One of the key issues of mechanical behavior of multicomponent materials such as TPV is the stmcture and properties of the interface regions. The phase image in Figure 20.1 Id shows a part of TPV sample with few mbber domains surrounded by iPP matrix. An extended rectangle area outlined with a white dotted box includes several interfaces between mbber domains and the plastic matrix. Examination of the interfaces is a challenging task and one possible approach is AFM-based... [Pg.569]

Methods. In using molecular dynamics for conformational analysis, there are many possible approaches. Assume that one is able to dedicate a machine for two weeks for this task. For this octapeptide, 70 energy evaluations can be performed each second. This implies that in two weeks, roughly 100 million iterations can be performed. Three distinct approaches could be ... [Pg.140]

Hexa(oligophenyl)benzenes (e. g. 31 or 33) present one possible approach to the realization of this aim. Two efficient synthetic routes have been elaborated for the preparation of hexa(terphenyl)- and hexa(quaterphenyl)benzene. The first, involving palladium-catalyzed trimerization of diarylacetylenes [54] as the key step, was demonstrated by the synthesis of a hexakis-alkylated hexa(terphenyl)benzene derivative 31 from the corresponding bis(terphenyl) acetylene (32). The peripheral tert-alkyl substituents serve to solubilize the molecule. [Pg.182]

All of the methods for designing laser pulses to achieve a desired control of a molecular dynamical process require the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the system interacting with the radiation field. Normally, this equation must be solved many times within an iterative loop. Different possible approaches to the solution of these equations are discussed in Section V. [Pg.45]

This presentation is based on a brief summary of some of the problems which confront a consultant and doubtless face many a technical man. Some possible approaches, to obtain the data necessary for solving these problems in a simplified manner, are indicated. [Pg.69]

It may be possible to achieve an adequate solution of these problems by developing catalysts with snrface properties that have been tailored deliberately so as to provide a favorable catalytic action on all intermediate steps that need it. Such catalysts should be polyfunctional and exhibit a certain degree of chemical and structural surface microheterogeneity. Electrochemical nanoelectrochemistry (see Chapter 36) may be a possible approach for synthesizing snch snrfaces. For a detailed investigation and control of these catalytic surfaces, the tools available among the experimental physical methods (see Chapter 27) will be nsefnl. [Pg.553]

The assessment of k is of some importance since it relates to the question as to how much if any of the free energy of activation barrier is due to the spin-forbidden character of the transition. From the experimental point of view, Eq. (49) shows that the transmission coefficient k and the activation entropy AS appear in the temperature-independent part of the rate constant and thus cannot be separated without additional assumptions. Possible approaches to the partition of — TAS have been discussed in Sect. 4 for spin transition complexes of iron(II) and iron(III). If the assumption is made that the entropy of activation is completely due to k, minimum values between 10 and 10 are obtained for iron(II) and values between 10 and 10 for iron(III). There is an increase of entropy for the transition LS -+ HS and thus the above assumption implies that the transition state resembles the HS state. On the other hand, volumes of activation indicate that the transition state should be about midway between the LS and HS state. This appears indeed more reasonable and has the... [Pg.91]

A possible approach to MEOR consists of the additional aeration of the water injected into the formation, together with the addition of mineral salts of... [Pg.219]

In case of reduced availability of an impurity a possible approach is to prepare a spiked sample , i.e. a known amount of impurity is added to the CRS and may serve in a system suitability test as well as for the control of the level of this impurity. An example is given in the monograph for chlorprothixene hydrochloride (Monograph 0815 1999) where the content of the E-isomer is controlled to a level of not more than 2 per cent, Figure 5.5.
