Alane 268 Subject

This chapter emphasizes cage and cluster compounds of aluminum, gallium and indium incorporating nitrogen atoms. A search of the literature reveals a number of monographs and reviews [31-33] as well as recent research articles available on this subject. Reactions of alanes and alanates with various amines leading to iminoalanes and aminoalanes have been well documented [21, 31, 34-36], In summary, there are reports on the formation of iminoalanes from Eqs. (13) to (17).

Historically, caffeine has played an important role in trade and politics and even now the export of coffee is an extremely important part of world trade for many countries. The health effects of caffeine have been the subject of numerous scientific inquiries, many scientific papers and conferences, and many books and articles. Perhaps the best book to combine both historical and health aspects of caffeine is The World of Caffeine - The Science and Culture of the World s Most Popular Drug by Bennett Alan Weinberg and Bonnie K. Bealer, published in 2001. This book gives a wonderful account of the interaction of caffeine and society from its ancient roots to present times, as well as a look at the health effects. A book devoted almost entirely to the health effects of caffeine is Caffeine and Health by Jack E. James, published in 1991. There is no lack of information on caffeine. 

Subsequently, we examined several MFA derivatives as substrates for the Pt/C>2 reaction. When 32 was subjected to Pt/(>2 chemistry, three products (132-134) were isolated in poor yield [Fig. (36)]. In the case of 23, the Pt/C>2 reaction mixture was treated straightaway with m-CPBA without isolation of any intermediate products, giving the desired compound 10 (43% yield). Compound 10 can be converted to PHA (2) in three steps. Compound 132 was converted to PHA (2) by treatment with alane-dimethylethyl amine complex in THF (30% yield). 

Donor adducts of aluminum and gallium trihydride were the subject of considerable interest in the late 1960s and early 1970s.1 Thin-film deposition and microelectronic device fabrication has been the driving force for the recent resurgence of synthetic and theoretical interest in these adducts of alane and gallane.24 This is directly attributable to their utility as low-temperature, relatively stable precursors for both conventional and laser-assisted CVD,59 and has resulted in the commercial availability of at least one adduct of alane. The absence of direct metal-carbon bonds in adducts of metal hydrides can minimize the formation of deleterious carbonaceous material during applications of CVD techniques, in contrast to some metal alkyl species.10, 11... 

Blurred vision. Three hypnotic subjects responded positively to this condition two hypnotic subjects and the simulator responded with schizoid withdrawal. Those that responded positively responded in terms of the primacy of color and light over form, and compared their perceptions of the world with impressionist paintings. One subject and the simulator responded in terms of an inability to make contact with anybody the last subject responded with a blunting and dulling of thought processes. All subjects lost some sensation in non-visual modalities. When the perception of outlines alone was blurred, colors tended to stand out. Alan Watts (1962) has noted how the perception of form and the perception of color may really be the same, but the behavior patterns of these subjects do not support this point of view. 

The author would like to express his thanks to many colleagues for discussions relating to this subject, in particular to Dr Albertina Albors-Llorens, Prof. Alan Dashwood, Dr Karsten Neuhoff, Prof. Piet Jan Slot and Dr Rebecca Williams. As ever, however, responsibility for the final version and any errors therein remains with the author. All webpage references last visited 23 March 2006. 

We are grateful to several friends and colleagues who have read parts of the book and given us their comments. In particular we thank Professors B.J. Howard, T.A. Miller, T.C. Steimle, M. McCarthy, M.S. Child and Dr I.R. McNab. We will always be glad to receive comments from readers, kind, helpful, or otherwise Alan Carrington would like to thank the Leverhulme Trust for an Emeritus Fellowship which has enabled him to keep in close touch with the subject through attendances at conferences. 

The state of the art of reductions with metal hydrides a decade ago was the subject of comprehensive reviews. A detailed survey of reductions of carbonyl compounds with alkali and alkaline earth metal hydrides, borane and derivatives, alane and derivatives, metal borohydrides, metal aluminohydrides, silanes, stannanes and transition metal hydrides was compiled. The properties, preparation and applications of each reagent were discussed together with methods for their determination, handling techniques... 

The mystics subjective experience of his identity with the All is the scientist s objective description of ecological relationship of the organism/environment as a unified field, Alan Watts (1964). 

The grounds for any possible suppression of these medicines are most entirely superstitious. There is no evidence for their being as deleterious as alcohol or tobacco, nor, indeed, for their being harmful in any way except when used in improper circumstances or, perhaps, with psychotic subjects. They are considerably less dangerous than many of the contents of the family medicine cupboard... Alan Watts (Harrington 1964). 

Digressing in another direction, an editorial by Alan R. Gaby, M.D., appears on page 126 of the July 2002 issue of the Townsend Letter for Doctors Patients. Titled Thoughts on Adaptation and Evolution, the subject of protein-deficient diets is addressed relative to native peoples with low-protein diets who are nevertheless healthy. Thus, the inhabitants of Australian New Guinea, who subsisted mainly on a sweet potato diet chronically low in protein, were obviously strong and healthy. 

The critical role played by the Ti catalyst in helping hydrogen cycling in alanates has been an on-going research subject for theoreticians. Ti-doped NaAlH4 system has been most studied as a prototypical system for materials of similar structures. The exact nature of the titanium catalyst action and the location of the Ti atoms still remain unclear however, several different theories have been elucidated to explain the observed reaction dynamics. Three doping hypotheses have been applied to study the catalytic effects with DFT simulations. One is to search for evidence of whether Ti exists as a bulk dopant on the sodium alanate and if... 

As Talias (2007) has pointed out, there is an interesting analogy between the Pearson Index and the Neyman-Pearson lemma. (The Pearsons in question are different. Alan Pearson is the author of the Pearson index and Egon Pearson, 1895-1980, was the son of Karl Pearson, 1857-1936 and the collaborator of Jerzey Neyman, 1894-1981, in developing hypothesis testing.) Both are relevant to optimizing a function subject to a constraint. In the case of the Pearson index this is profit subject to total cost, and for the Neyman-Pearson lemma it is power subject to the constraint of an overall type I error rate. In both cases a ratio plays a key role. For the Neyman-Pearson lemma this is the likelihood ratio and for the Pearson index the index itself is a ratio of expected profit to expected cost. 

The production of this book has been the outcome of many hours of discussions over the years. The two coauthors have learned a great deal from each other as well as from our many colleagues, students, and friends. An incomplete list of the most important people to whom we owe debts of gratitude would include Mike Barcelona, Michael Elovitz, Bruce Faust, Chad Jafvert, Karen Marley, Gary Peyton, Frank Scully, Alan Stone, Paul Tratnyek, Lee Wolfe, Ollie Zafiriou, and Richard Zepp. Invaluable help with the manuscript was provided by Jean Clarke, Tori Corkery, Jennifer Nevius, and Heather Walsh. Finally, special thanks are due to the students of Environmental Studies 351 at the University of Illinois, who have provided indispensable suggestions about the subject matter of this book over the years. 

The idea is based on research carried out by Dr. Alan Hirsch, a scientist at the Smell and Taste Research Foimdation of Chicago. Hirsch conducted a six-month-long study involving 3,193 people who were at least ten pounds overweight. Subjects were each given a vial and told not to reach for food whenever they felt hungry but to sniff the vial s contents instead. So the subjects happily sniffed — some of them up to 285 times a day. 

We re surrounded by subjects that offer potential for documentary storytelling. Current events may trigger ideas, or an afternoon spent browsing the shelves at a local library or bookstore. Some filmmakers find stories within their own families. Alan Berliner made Nobody s Business about his father, Oscar Deborah Hoffinan made Confessions of a Dutiful Daughter about her mother s battle with Alzheimer s. Even when you re very close to a subject, however, you ll need to take an impartial view as you determine whether or not it would make a film that audiences will want to see. This is also tme when you adapt documentaries from printed sources a story may read well on paper, but not play as well on screen. In making the series Cadillac Desert, drawn from Marc Reisner s book of the same name, producer Jon Else chose three of the roughly 40 stories in Reisner s book Else and his team then conducted their own research and determined the best way to tell those stories on film.

The question of whether Cannizzaro was committed to chemical or physical atomism is the subject of Alan Chalmers, Cannizzaro s Course of Chemical Philosophy Revisited (forthcoming). Chalmers believes that Cannizzaro would only be committed to the former. 

Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish The Birth of the Prison, trans. Alan Sheridan (New York Vintage Books, 1979), pp. 202-203, writes He who is subjected to a field of visibility, and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power he makes them play spontaneously upon himself he inscribes in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles he becomes the principle of his own subjection. ...
