Advances in additives

It is beyond the scope of this book to report extensively on recent advances in additives. The examples given merely serve to trigger the analyst to keep abreast

The carbene-imine route to aziridines has attracted increasing attention of late, though there have also been notable recent advances in addition processes involving alkenes and nitrene equivalents.

Frying oil has been available to man in various parts of the world. Most of the time a specific oil has been selected for frying because it is locally available. Man also has moved from the crude expelled oils to refined oils as the oil technology advanced. In addition, the availability of most oils across the world has also increased due to improved transportation and storage systems developed over the years. Consumers have been exposed to the taste of products fried in different types of oil for quite sometime. Production of other than the indigenous oils has also become common where the local climate, soil conditions, and overall agronomy have been favorable to a particular type of oilseed or oil palm trees. 

Although traditional medicines continue to be discovered and developed, the fields of biotechnology and gene therapy continue to advance. In addition, new methods to collect and evaluate clinical data on a real-time basis will help to speed the development process. 

During each focus group, our initial observations were briefly presented and we discussed questions provided to the focus group participants in advance. In addition to these questions, the groups also discussed other issues related to the survey results, sustainability, and/or the chemical industry in general. 

This book series will ensure a wide coverage of issues related to water quality measurements, including the topics of the above mentioned courses and the outcome of recent scientific advances. In addition, other aspects related to quality control tools (e.g. certified reference materials for the quality control of water analysis) and monitoring of various types of waters (river, wastewater, groundwater) will also be considered.

The current instrumental limitations of IR absorption spectroscopy prevent great sensitivity in the low-frequency region, allowing spectra to be obtained only to 350 cm despite recent advances. In addition, the overwhelming absorption of IR radiation by H2O further complicates the acquisition of spectra of PSII. Nonetheless, several features in the 650-350 cm region have... 

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy should certainly not be used in isolation. For example, the assignment of solid-state spectra is aided by the existence of solution-state NMR spectra, while if dynamic processes are to be investigated, it is very useful if differential scanning calorometry (DSC) curves can be first obtained, so that the temperatures at which phase transitions occur are known in advance. In addition, the advances in computing power as well as the development of methodology means that the use of quantum chemical calculations of NMR parameters in the interpretation of experimental results will become ever more popular.
