It was not until the twentieth century that furfural became important commercially. The Quaker Oats Company, in the process of looking for new and better uses for oat hulls found that acid hydrolysis resulted in the formation of furfural, and was able to develop an economical process for isolation and purification. In 1922 Quaker announced the availability of several tons per month. The first large-scale appHcation was as a solvent for the purification of wood rosin. Since then, a number of furfural plants have been built world-wide for the production of furfural and downstream products. Some plants produce as Httie as a few metric tons per year, the larger ones manufacture in excess of 20,000 metric tons. 

Historically, the development of the acrylates proceeded slowly they first received serious attention from Otto Rohm. AcryUc acid (propenoic acid) was first prepared by the air oxidation of acrolein in 1843 (1,2). Methyl and ethyl acrylate were prepared in 1873, but were not observed to polymerize at that time (3). In 1880 poly(methyl acrylate) was reported by G. W. A. Kahlbaum, who noted that on dry distillation up to 320°C the polymer did not depolymerize (4). Rohm observed the remarkable properties of acryUc polymers while preparing for his doctoral dissertation in 1901 however, a quarter of a century elapsed before he was able to translate his observations into commercial reaUty. He obtained a U.S. patent on the sulfur vulcanization of acrylates in 1912 (5). Based on the continuing work in Rohm s laboratory, the first limited production of acrylates began in 1927 by the Rohm and Haas Company in Darmstadt, Germany (6). Use of this class of compounds has grown from that time to a total U.S. consumption in 1989 of approximately 400,000 metric tons. Total worldwide consumption is probably twice that. 

Examination of the migratory aptitude of groups in a variety of unsym-metrical ketones indicates that the group best able to accept a positive charge will usually migrate most readily. ... 

A key factor in determining an ROI on the basis of increased efficiencies is to be able to apply metrics to the existing processes commonly this requires measurement of the process before the implementation of a new system and then a corresponding measurement of the process after implementation. In the case of ELN systems, this information can also be supplemented through the use of the ELN database itself, for example, by looking at the number of completed experiments created per scientist per week. These data can then be compared with an historical analysis of data from paper notebook archives on scientific productivity by similar groups. 

As with the case of mass, there are several approaches to metrics for this aspect. One can simply sum numbers and/or mass of chemicals possessing hazards in different areas for example, process safety, occupational exposure, or environmental hazard. Typically, most companies will use a banding approach for materials that allows a quick identification of the hazard category, and usually marries hazard with a suggested control approach for example, layers of protection, pressure relief valves, and so on. One is then able to rapidly identify issues and potential opportunities for elimination, substitution, or control. 

In 1979, China produced approximately 106 million metric tons of oil (ranked ninth in the world) equivalent to approximately two million barrels a day. Of the total oil produced, China exported about 10 million metric tons. Assuming that China consumes 10% of its naphtha and kerosene domestically as feedstock, she should have been able to produce a theoretical maximum of 2.5 million tons of ethylene for 1979. Given the forecasted production figure of 170 million tons of oil in 1985, and if the allocation of oil for feedstock is increased to 15%, China should be able to produce a maximum of 3.6 million tons of ethylene. 

The system of units used in chemistry is the SI system (Systeme International), which is related to the metric system. There are base units for length, mass, etc. and decimal prefixes that modify the base unit. Since most of us do not tend to think in these units, it is important to be able to convert back and forth from the English system to the SI system. These three conversions are useful ones, although knowing the others might allow you to simplify your calculations ... 

These substrates possess several oxidiz-able sites. Racemic laudanosine (71), for example, could be oxidized at nitrogen or in one or both of the electron-rich aromatic rings. In fact, it displays ve volta-metric peak potentials at 0.63, 0.81, 1.13, 1.30,andl.47 V(vsAg/AgN03). Yet,using potential control, it proved a simple matter to oxidize a dimethoxyaryl unit in the presence of the Ai-methylamine subunit.

In either interpretation of the Langevin equation, the form of the required pseudoforce depends on the values of the mixed components of Zpy, and thus on the statistical properties of the hard components of the random forces. The definition of a pseudoforce given here is a generalization of the metric force found by both Fixman [9] and Hinch [10]. An apparent discrepancy between the results of Fixman, who considered the case of unprojected random forces, and those of Hinch, who was able to reproducd Fixman s expression for the pseudoforce only in the case of projected random forces, is traced here to an error in Fixman s use of differential geometry. 

Clustering is a branch of exploratory analysis able to provide answers about the presence of groupings among objects or variables, by means of a similarity measurement (Vandeginste et al., 1998). The similarity among two objects is defined as an inverse fimction of their distance the more two objects are distant, the less they are similar. Several metrics may be used to evaluate the distance D between two objects i and j in a n-dimensional space. The most common are... 

Ex situ measurements in the presence of dissolved oxygen have proved that the mixed monolayer was stable in the solution free of 6TG and guanine. Madueno etal. [Ill] have also studied adsorption and phase formation of 6TG on mercury electrode. At high potentials, the molecules were chemisorbed and were able to form a self-assembled monolayer. When the potential was scanned to more negative values, reductive desorption of the monolayer was observed. Cathodic voltam-metric peaks, which are typical of a 2D condensed phase transition, divided the potential window into two regions one, in which self-assembled monolayer was stable, and the second, in which a physisorbed state existed. 

Of course, any linear combination of null eigenvectors also satisfies (12.54a, b), so we are able to choose individual vectors of this null manifold with considerable freedom. We know in general that a / -dimensional manifold of linearly independent null eigenvectors must exist, in order that the rank of the metric matrix,...
