Acronyms Index

Instrumentation for Analytical Chemistry gives rise to many abbreviations forming acronyms . These are often more encountered than the terms they abbreviate, and they appear extensively in the text. A reader new to the field may become lost or disoriented in this thicket of initials. To aid the student in reading the text, the Acronym Index below translates these and indicates the chapter and page where they are best defined or characterized. These acronyms are frequently compounded, as in UV/VIS (ultraviolet/ visible) or LC-CI-TOFMS (Interfaced Liquid Chromatograph to Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer operating in Chemical Ionization mode). The components of such compounded acronyms are listed individually in the index, but not aU the possible combinations. 

Acronym for the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index. 

Abbreviations and acronyms are short forms of single words (e.g., M for molar) or multiple words (e.g., NMR for nuclear magnetic resonance). In abbreviations, the individual letters are usually pronounced (e.g., A-C-S for American Chemical Society) in acronyms, the letters form a new word (e.g., CASSl for Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index). Compound labels are used to represent chemical compounds. (See also chapter 3 and The ACS Style Guide for more information on abbreviations and acronyms.)... 

Also included are a few pages for quick reference to acronyms and abbreviations, plus one to define all the explosives mentioned in the text. This section is called Definitions, Symbols, and Abbreviations. The Bibliography collects all the references cited in the text and adds a few. A Subject Index completes the work.

There are four indices an index of trademarks, an index of acronyms, an index of chemicals, and a general index. 

Many readers will already be aware that acronyms for 2-D NMR experiments have proliferated along with available experiments. This chapter attempts neither an encyclopedic approach to describing these acronyms nor their experimental counterparts. This chapter does, however, cover enough important experiments to enable the reader to interpret nearly any 2-D experiment that one is likely to encounter. Acronyms are listed in the index. 

Major changes involved the sections 2.4 Quantum mechanics and Quantum chemistry, 2.7 Electromagnetic radiation and 2.12 Chemical kinetics, in order to include physical quantities used in the rapidly developing fields of quantum chemical computations, laser physics and molecular beam scattering. A new section 3.9 on Dimensionless quantities has been added in the present edition, as well as a Subject index and a list of Abbreviations and acronyms used in physical chemistry. 

Just as pigments are often specified by their Colour Index designation (Chapter 8), so high energy materials are usually designated by acronyms. These are defined here for reference throughout the chapter. 

A glossary of the symbols, acronyms and other abbreviations used, a table of the molecular weights of the repeat units of a large number of polymers, and an extensive subject index, will be provided at the end of the book. 

J. Rissanen, Acrimonious Opening for BWC Review Conference, BWC Rev.Con. Bulletin November 19, 2001, available atwww.acronym.org.uk/ bwc/index.htm. 

The draft final document of the Conference as issued by the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole is available at www.acronym.org.uk/bwc/ index.htm. 

A generous list of acronyms is provided, giving the reader access to fast explanations of the myriad of examples of the modern letter soup omnipresent in scientific papers. The subject index will serve as a fast access lane especially for those readers searching for information about a particular method. 

Although we have assumed readers will have a basic knowledge of earth and environmental sciencejargon, we have included a comprehensive glossary and list of acronyms and abbreviations to assist with the large and perhaps unfamiliar vocabulary. This is followed by a subject index.
