This paper extends the study of Gaussian curves and describes a simple, fast, and reliable Width Method for evaluating diffusion coefficients from the spreading of dcidx vs x curves with time. The procedure involves measuring the widths as a function of time at a number of different heights that are

β¦ Synopsis
A very simple, practical, necesssry and sufficient condition for diffusion-driven linear instability and parameter space determination in nonlinear reaction systems with three species is presented. With respect to the stability matrix A from linearization near a stable steady-state of a reaction system, two necessary conditions are given: (i) A is stable but not negative definite; and (ii) either the largest diagonal elements of A is positive or the smallest diagonal cofactors of A is negative. Condition (i) can be generalized to any number of species but (ii) is a stronger condition which, in fact, is shown to be sufficient for diffusion-driven instability. As an example, the result is applied to the three-species Oregonator, the model for the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction.

## Abstract A simple method, which does not use any computer calculations, is described that allows the determination of the asymmetry parameter, the chemical shift and the quadrupole coupling constant directly from the experimental NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei with halfβinteger spin in powder
