Towards Transition Theory
1. Theory is technology. [This thesis] 2. Societal transitions can be considered concatenations of patterns, emerging under certain conditions, forming transition paths. [This thesis] 3. The problem of temporal demarcation, that is, attributing a societal transition with a beginning and an end, can be avoided with an analysis in terms of patterns instead of one overall process. [This thesis] 4....
متن کاملVariational Transition State Theory
Transition state theory (TST) 1 is the most widely used theory for calculating rates of bimolecular eactions occurring in the gas phase and in condensed phases. TST is also incorporated into the widely used RRKM theory for unimolecular reactions. The popularity of TST is largely due to its simplicity and its usefulness for correlating trends in reaction rates in terms of easily interpreted quan...
متن کاملTowards a Theory of Transition Paths
We construct a statistical theory of reactive trajectories between two pre-specified sets A and B, i.e. the portions of the path of a Markov process during which the path makes a transition from A to B. This problem is relevant e.g. in the context of metastability, in which case the two sets A and B are metastable sets, though the formalism we propose is independent of any such assumptions on A...
متن کاملEnzymatic transition state theory and transition state analogue design.
The incredible catalytic rate enhancements caused by enzymes led Linus Pauling (1) to suggest that enzymes bind tightly to substrates distorted toward the transition state, thereby concentrating them and enforcing catalysis. Wolfenden (2) explained that chemically stable analogues that resemble the transition state would be expected to bind more tightly than substrate by factors resembling the ...
متن کاملSemiclassical transition state theory. A new perspective
The semiclassical transition state theory (SCTST) introduced by Miller, Hemandez, Handy, Jayatilaka and Willetts requires the inversion of an (effectively integrable) Hamiltonian with respect to the action of the reactive coordinate. It is shown that the inversion may be avoided in computing the thermal rate constant; the resulting expression also provides an appealing link to conventional tran...
