The primary set of references for this manuscript was retrieved from the Science Citation Index, accessed via BIDS (Bath Information and Data Services, University of Bath, UK). The completeness of the first automated selection of papers depends on the accuracy of the information present in the Science Citation Index, the determination of the non-trivial publication time window (June 1998 to June 1999) set by our publisher, and the accuracy of the reference to Bader s 1990 monograph in the original paper. All papers appearing in readily obtainable journals were screened in full and included if they were of sufficient interest from the point of view of AIM. When in doubt it was decided to exclude a possible paper in favour of other papers with higher AIM content. This choice was determined by space restrictions and the readability of the report. We apologise to authors for the possibly erroneous omission of their work, but believe that we have provided a rather complete and unbiased reflection of the research activity in the AIM area.

The pressure equipment directive was adopted by the European Parliament and the European Council in May 1997. It harmonises the national laws of the 15 Member States of the European Union relating to equipment subject to the pressure risk. That directive is one of the series of technical harmonisation directives such as for machinery, medical devices, simple pressure vessels, gas appliances and so on, which were foreseen by the Communities programme for the elimination of technical barriers to trade. It therefore aims to ensure the free placing on the market and putting into service of the equipment concerned within the European Union and the European Economic Area. At the same time it permits a flexible regulatory environment, allowing European industry to develop new techniques increasing thereby its international competitiveness. 

For continuation of the work on standardisation in the field of NDT TD, Gosstandardt set up a Technical Committee on Standardisation Technical Diagnostics and Non-Destructive Testing (TC-78) This is a social organisation which unites the leading experts on TD NDT, and determines the priority areas of work, and qualified performers in the field of TD NDT Its main aim is unification of the standards of Ukraine with the European norms. 

In addition to their practical importance, colloidal suspensions have received much attention from chemists and physicists alike. This is an interesting research area in its own right, and it is an important aspect of what is referred to as soft condensed matter physics. This contribution is written from such a perspective, and although a balanced account is aimed for, it is inevitably biased by the author s research interests. References to the original literature are included, but within the scope of this contribution only a fraction of the vast amount of literature on colloidal suspensions can be mentioned. 

This book is conceived as a textbook for application in teaching and self-learning of chemoinfoimatics. We aim to present a comprehensive overview of the field of che-moinformatics for students, teachers, and scientists from other areas of chemistry, from biology, informatics, and medicine. Those interested in a more in-depth presentation and analysis of the topics in this Textbook are referred to an accompanying set of four volumes. 

Closer examination reveals however that the Brunauer method is not fundamentally distinct from methods based on the Kelvin equation. As pointed out by de Vleesschauwer, equations such as (3.52) are not really employed in the integral form, inasmuch as the aim is to evaluate the surface areas of successive groups of cores. In effect Equation (3.52) is used after adaptation to small rather than infinitesimal increments and becomes... 

The principal aim of the second edition of this book remains the same as that of the first edition to give a critical exposition of the use of the adsorption methods for the assessment of the surface area and pore size distribution of finely divided and porous solids. 

In writing the present book our aim has been to give a critical exposition of the use of adsorption data for the evaluation of the surface area and the pore size distribution of finely divided and porous solids. The major part of the book is devoted to the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method for the determination of specific surface, and the use of the Kelvin equation for the calculation of pore size distribution but due attention has also been given to other well known methods for the estimation of surface area from adsorption measurements, viz. those based on adsorption from solution, on heat of immersion, on chemisorption, and on the application of the Gibbs adsorption equation to gaseous adsorption. 

Although the techniques described have resulted in the determination of many protein stmctures, the number is only a small fraction of the available protein sequences. Theoretical methods aimed at predicting the 3-D stmcture of a protein from its sequence therefore form a very active area of research. This is important both to understanding proteins and to the practical appHcations in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industries. 

Catalytic Pyrolysis. This should not be confused with fluid catalytic cracking, which is used in petroleum refining (see Catalysts, regeneration). Catalytic pyrolysis is aimed at producing primarily ethylene. There are many patents and research articles covering the last 20 years (84—89). Catalytic research until 1988 has been summarized (86). Almost all catalysts produce higher amounts of CO and CO2 than normally obtained with conventional pyrolysis. This indicates that the water gas reaction is also very active with these catalysts, and usually this leads to some deterioration of the olefin yield. Significant amounts of coke have been found in these catalysts, and thus there is a further reduction in olefin yield with on-stream time. Most of these catalysts are based on low surface area alumina catalysts (86). A notable exception is the catalyst developed in the former USSR (89). This catalyst primarily contains vanadium as the active material on pumice (89), and is claimed to produce low levels of carbon oxides.
