More attention to selecting and obtaining a representative sample. The design of a statistically based sampling plan and its implementation are discussed earlier, and in more detail than in other textbooks. Topics that are covered include how to obtain a representative sample, how much sample to collect, how many samples to collect, how to minimize the overall variance for an analytical method, tools for collecting samples, and sample preservation. 

The toxicokinetic profile of a chemical warfare agent in mammalian organisms depends on numerous factors, including the nature of the poison, route of exposure, and species differences. Sophisticated study design, modem technical and analytical monitoring tools as well as reliable data from literature are indispensable quality criteria which should be met when performing toxicokinetic studies. The present chapter is focused on this topic. For guidance, we will comment on the stracture of this chapter to provide the reader with an impression of the content. 

Electronic noses are emerging as an innovative analytical-sensorial tool to characterize the sensory comparison of food in terms of freshness, determination of geographical origin, seasoning. The first electronic nose goes back to the 80s, when Persaud and Dodd of the University of Warwick (UK) tried to model and simulate the operation of the olfactory system of mammals with solid state sensors. Since then, artificial olfactory systems are designed closer to the natural one.

Achieving the objective involves carefully designing a process that matches the end product, selecting design tools with controls and analytical utilities, and selecting a materials system and components that match. 

The analytical and design tools thus available in this text have made it possible to investigate fairly accurately the safety margins of other vessels adopted for pressurised water reactors (PWR), boiling water reactors (BWR) and fast breeder reactors (FBR). 

In this exercise, students from both general chemistiy and engineering were scaffolded into the design challenge of evaluating tools for gaining community data about clean water with a series of lectures about water quality and analytical chemistry tools. This is the first time students have used a spectrophotometer so they were provided the schematic that appears in Figure 1. 

The modem approach to process modelling for process control that this book takes (which is described in Chapter 1) is to make use of simulation tools and computer-based design packages that avoid the limitations imposed by the analytical design methods, namely abstraction, linearisation and simplification, e.g. Allen [13]. 

The analytical tools to accomplish laminate design are at least twofold. First, the invariant laminate stiffness concepts developed by Tsai and Pagano [7-16 and 7-17] used to vary laminate stiffnesses. Second, structural optimization techniques as described by Schmit [7-12] can be used to provide a decision-making process for variation of iami-nate design parameters. This duo of techniques is particularly well suited to composite structures design because the simultaneous possibility and necessity to tailor the material to meet structural requirements exists to a degree not seen in isotropic materials. 

Today, the use of CHIRBASE as a tool in aiding the chemist in the identification of appropriate CSPs has produced impressive and valuable results. Although recent developments diminish the need for domain expertise, today the user must possess a certain level of knowledge of analytical chemistry and chiral chromatography. Nevertheless, further refinements will notably reduce this required level of expertise. Part of this effort will include the design of an expert system which will provide rule sets for each CSP in a given sample search context. The expert system will also be able to query the user about the specific requisites for each sample (scale, solubility, etc.) and generate rules which will indicate a ranked list of CSPs as well their most suitable experimental conditions (mobile phase, temperature, pH, etc.).
