The table below lists the various TA techniques following the notation of the ICTA (International Committee for Thermal Analysis) nomenclature committee. The three "classic" TA techniques are DSC, TGA and TMA of which DSC is still the "workhorse". TA is also covering, however, a substantial number of other techniques and applications and several of these techniques are described in this book. This book is not a comprehensive textbook about TA but more a survey of the author s work during many years, at the Koninklijke Shell Laboratorium in Amsterdam. It describes in six chapters the use of the various TA techniques (printed in bold in the table) for specific problems, illustrating the versatility of TA. A technical description is only given for equipment of own design. 

This thermal analysis nomenclature, which was progressively built up from the existing techniques, has needed to be updated to include more recent techniques... 

One other very important attribute of photoemitted electrons is the dependence of their kinetic energy on chemical environment of the atom from which they originate. This feature of the photoemission process is called the chemical shift of and is the basis for chemical information about the sample. In fact, this feature of the xps experiment, first observed by Siegbahn in 1958 for a copper oxide ovedayer on a copper surface, led to his original nomenclature for this technique of electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis or esca. 

The formal procedures for analysis of alternative modes of disconnection of fused-ring systems are facilitated by the use of a standard nomenclature for various types of key bonds in such structures. A number of useful terms are illustrated in formulas 111-114, which have been constructed arbitrarily using rings of the most common sizes, 5 and 6. Structures are shown for...

The context of this work, at least superficially, is quality control in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The general principles apply to any form of (chemical) analysis, however, whether in an industrial setting or not. Other readers need only to replace some phrases, such as Health Authority with discriminating customer or official requirements with market expectations, to bridge the gap. The specifically chemical or pharmaceutical nomenclature is either explained or then sufficiently circumscribed so that the essentials can be understood by students of other disciplines.
