Our findings indicate that the osmotic pressure resulting from configurational entropy is much smaller in cartilage (based on an earlier study on bovine articular cartilage) than in free solution.
As a result, configurational volume forces which are settled in the intermediate configuration embody non-vanishing dislocation density tensors while their material counterparts directly incorporate non-vanishing gradients of distortions.
Two main types of configurations resulting from the configurational approach have been put forward: 1) typologies, which are conceptually defined classifications, and 2) taxonomies, that are classifications into relatively homogeneous groups of entities (such as organizations) derived from empirical work, using multivariate analyses [ 15, 21].
Implicit-solvent based alchemical perturbation gives access to the configurational entropy, resulting in improved prediction of the binding free energy [ 73].
Changes in configurational heat capacity resulting from H2O dissolved in the melt can be calculated from the experimental data on Q n species abundance in hydrous melts combined with the knowledge of the partial molar heat capacity of individual species (Richet and Neuville 1992; see also Mysen 2007).
Forest loss and configurational change occur simultaneously, resulting in difficulties isolating the impacts of each component.
The glass transition process and the resulting glassy state can be modeled using the enthalpy landscape approach, which involves mapping the configurational space to a discrete set of basins and the connecting transition points.
Entropic contributions related to the flexibility of the peptide and the unbound state are not accounted for, though experience tell us that the strong affinity resulting from the peptide tail-T1 complex, −41 kcal/mol, should be strong enough to compensate for the configurational entropy loss.
In general, the configurational stability of an organometallic reagent correlates to the electronegativity of the metal, with less electronegative metals resulting in more configurationally labile sec-alkyl reagents.
It is striking to find that the real-to-ideal strength gap results from both configurational and thermo-vibrational contributions to STZs.
