BEAST

It is water that, in taking different forms, constitutes tlie earth, atmosphere, sky, mountain, gods and men, beasts and birds, grass and trees, animals down to worms, flies and ants,... 

Let me tell you how things were in the heady days of the late 1960s, when scientists (like me) and engineers first got their hands on computers. Computers were very large beasts, and they consumed very many kilojoules (kilocalories in those days, or if you are a North American reader) per unit time. If you believe in the law of conservation of energy, you will understand why such machines had a refrigeration plant, where the three resident engineers kept the milk for their coffee.

Early Neolithic peoples domesticated the more productive local plants, cared for them m densely planted plots, protected them from animals and other plants (weeds) and haiwested the results. Likewise they tamed, bred and cared for local animals and ate them as they deemed fit. In the cases of cattle, horses, sheep and goats, milk and its products became staple foods. In some places larger domestic animals became beasts of burden. For very sound ecological reasons, agriculture allowed even early farmers to lib-...

In this section, an overview of detector architecture and operation is given. Although optical and infrared detectors are often thought of as very different beasts, in practice they are more alike than different. Thus, optical and infrared... 

Additional costs because the multiple retailers require two hindquarters for every fore-quarter - ideally a three legged beast The spare fore-quarter will have to be sold in the conventional market at conventional prices, thus increasing the cost of the remaining 75%. 

The development of new insecticides means even more. It requires appraisal of the effect of the material on the operator in all stages of use. It involves knowledge of the amount of residue that may remain on, or in, the part of the product that is used as food for man or beast and the effect of such residue on their health. Leadership in such studies belongs to the toxicologist. The chemist, however, has a very important relation to these problems. He must supply the method for analysis and for removal of insecticidal residues. For some of the new insecticidal chemicals the entomologist has accurate information on their effect on insects. Suitable, satisfactory methods of analyses of the chemical and its residues await determination. 

Mai straightened up with the poker in her hand. For a moment I saw it, white-hot against the dim cold of the chamber, and then she put it into the jug as if it were a knife and she killing some beast. The crackle as it struck the ale made a little thrill run down my spine as it always did, and after a moment the scent of hot ale threaded through the cold air to warm my nose. I sat up and put my pillow behind me. 

I look at the cabinet and am glad. Its oak doors are a landscape of my childhood in themselves across the four upper ones a long-forgotten great-aunt carved the tale of Beauty and the Beast, and across the bottom doors Puss strides in his boots.

In the United States—where the inhabitants were considered filthy, bordering on the beastly —basins, pitchers, and washstands did not become middle-class essentials until after 1850. During the American Civil War, the North adopted Florence Nightingale s nursing reforms to popularize hygiene and keep its soldiers disease-free. 

The book is here to help you select the right experiment to solve your problem and to then interpret the results correctly. NMR is a funny beast - it throws up surprises no matter how long you have been doing it (at this point, it should be noted that the authors have about 60 years of NMR experience between them and we still get surprises regularly ). 

You seldom have much choice about this software. When you buy a spectrometer you will get some software from the manufacturer. The big manufacturers are Bruker, Varian and JEOL. Their software is called Topspin, VNMRJ and Delta respectively. These pieces of software are quite complex as they have to perform all the spectrometer control as well as processing and some simulation. That said, all manufacturers have improved their software to make it more user-friendly in recent times and it is not the challenging beast that it used to be. 

A key characteristic of Nessie, the monster of Loch Ness, is that although one may be convinced to have accidentally spotted it in the past, whenever one tries to actually characterize the beast, it will categorically refuse to give any sign of existence. EPR spectroscopy has its own equivalent of Nessie, and its name is solid oxygen. Being uninformed of its apparently erratic behavior can easily cost you several months of your productive scientific life, so read on to be prepared for the inevitable encounter. 

As a starting point let us now rephrase the position that was developed in the preface and the introductory Chapter 1 by means of a negation. Building the ultimate beast is a standing expression in the EPR community to describe microwave physics and engineering research activities to push the possibilities of EPR spectrometers beyond extant specifications. On the contrary, our goal is rather not to build the ultimate beast but to befriend the spectrometer as a thoroughly domesticated, useful animal.
