Alphabetical Index

On NDTnet both retrieval methods are optimally combined, however that is only successfully because the content on the server is extensive and valuable (Table 2). A full text search with all advanced search features is available and the site also provides a table of contents for each month and archives are organized in subjects together with an alphabetical index. 

Section 2 combines the former separate section on Mathematics with the material involving General Information and Conversion Tables. The fundamental physical constants reflect values recommended in 1986. Physical and chemical symbols and definitions have undergone extensive revision and expansion. Presented in 14 categories, the entries follow recommendations published in 1988 by the lUPAC. The table of abbreviations and standard letter symbols provides, in a sense, an alphabetical index to the foregoing tables. The table of conversion factors has been modified in view of recent data and inclusion of SI units cross-entries for archaic or unusual entries have been curtailed. 

For the detailed contents of any section, consult the title page of that section. See also the alphabetical index in the back of the handbook. 

Because the sheer magnitude of the tests performed in laboratory diagnosis is so great, e.g., over 3,600 tests in the alphabetical index of the laboratory tests offered by UCLA Medical Center [4], a single example will be illuminated to demonstrate a particular use of biologically derived diagnostics in home pregnancy test. 

Names of examples are given with an initial capital letter (e.g. L-glycero-P-D-g(nco-Heptopyranose ) to clarify the usage in headings and to show which letter controls the ordering in an alphabetical index.

Compounds which are considered to be unusually hazardous in a fire context because of their low flash points (below 25°C) or auto-ignition temperatures (below 225°C) are included in the table. The names used are those titles in the text of Section 1 which are prefixed with a dagger. Synonyms may be found either in Section 1 or in the alphabetical index of chemical names and synonyms in Appendix 4. Boiling points are given for those compounds boiling below 50°C. 

This chapter includes four indices the Alphabetical index, the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers index, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) numbers index, and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons key (OPCW) numbers index. OPCW numbers are found in the "Handbook on Chemicals, version 2002," Appendix 2 in Declaration Handbook 2002 for the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling, and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction. OPCW numbers were developed to provide an easy method for tracking chemical warfare agents and precursors if CAS numbers were not available. 

The list of synonyms included in the Alphabetical index is by no means exhaustive. Although it contains a large number of formal chemical and biological names, it primarily contains historical names, military code names, and common names for the agents, precursors, components, and degradation products included in this handbook. In some instances, names that have been popularized in the media but have no other historical connection to the agent have been included. 

Some synonyms in the Alphabetical index are followed by bracketed notations. These notations provide additional clarifying information about the entry such as composition, modifications to the agents (e.g., thickened, dusty, binary), or a note for historical context. For example, "White Star" was a gas blend that was employed by the British in World War I consisting of 50% phosgene and 50% chlorine. The entry appears as ... 

The National Library of Medicine has created a vast and patient-oriented healthcare information portal called MEDLINEplus. Within this Internet-based system are health topic pages which hst links to available materials relevant to isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Log on to httpvywww.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html To access this system. From there you can either search using the alphabetical index or browse by broad topic areas. Recently, MEDLINEplus hsted the following when searched for isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency ... 

After a listing of some general definitions relating to crystalline polymers (Section 1), the subject is divided into sections dealing, successively, with local structural arrangements at the scale of a few bond lengths (Section 2), morphological aspects (Section 3), molecular conformation within polymer crystals (Section 4) and, finally, kinetic aspects of crystallization (Section 5). An alphabetical index of terms is provided for the convenience of the reader.
