Books and pamphlets

Explanations and details of these terms can be obtained in various books and pamphlets, for instance, Allen (1980) and Liversey (1983). No one parameter is self-sufficient, and alone gives a complete view of the financial status of a project or product. Therefore a number of parameters are usually calculated, and used in conjunction. They serve to give indications of how to minimise the period over which capital needs to be committed to a specific project, to show changes in the cost-structure of the process with time, and to reduce the time taken to convert the material, labour and overhead resources (the working capital) into cash in the form of profits from sales. That is, to make the cash-flow as favourable as possible. Each comparer will have different criteria as to what constitutes an acceptable financial risk when evaluating a project. Obviously healthcare product/pharmaceutical companies have quite different criteria to companies manufacturing bulk chemicals.

Al while others contain only small percentages. Several Al-contg alloys are listed by Perry(Ref 6, pp 1527-1531). The morecommon alloys, of which Al is the largest constituent, are tabulated by Thorpe(Ref 2) who also lists 20 books and pamphlets relating to Al and its alleys. The metallurgy...

The discovery of printing by means of movable metal type in the latter half of the fifteenth century was a factor hardly less influential than the universities, making accessible to a vastly larger public in the form of printed books and pamphlets, material hitherto only accessible in laboriously and expensively copied manuscripts. 

Many lists of common, dangerous hazardous chemicals have been prepd and some books and pamphlets are available for supplementary reading on the subject. Some of these are included in the following refs... 

The facts are that of the 20 million books and pamphlets in the collection of the Library of Congress, as many as 30% are in such a critical stage of deterioration that they can not be circulated (5,6). A recent survey of the New York Public Library revealed that nearly 50% of its more than five million books are on the brink of disintegration (7). This phenomenon can be observed in any major university or research library. Millicent Abell of Yale University Library has estimated that as many as 76 million books nationwide may literally be crumbling into dust, with more joining the list every year (8). A study conducted by William Barrow sadly indicated that 97% of all books published between 1900 and 1949 would have a useful life of fifty years or less (9). 

The major contribution of dielectric energy to the restoration effort was its use in thawing all file materials and nonrare books and pamphlets. They could be identified by the librarians, and their restoration could be planned by the conservator. Use of dielectric energy offers an efficient method of drying those books which could be replaced if charring might occur. The frequency of damage for this technique as applied to uncoated-paper books was 0.5%. 

Selection of Sources. When these abstracts have been assembled and the references have been listed in the notebook, the next step is the selection of the sources to be checked. These are chosen from four main groups, as follows (1) the major abstract journals, (2) classified patents, (3) a thorough catalog of books and pamphlets, and (4) a rather extensive list which the library has compiled of special sources of information, each bearing a brief note as to the field covered, especially of types of information not readily apparent. A few of the many sources listed, with a comment on the usefulness of each, follow ... 

It is not sufficient merely to have such material on the libraiy shelves it must also be carefully indexed. All new books and pamphlets received are examined carefully for information that would not ordinarily be expected in such publications. In The Chemistry of the Non-Benzenoid Hydrocarbons (1922) by B. T. Brooks, for example, there are references to naphthenic acids, production of fatty acids by wax oxidation, and synthetic lubricating oils. In Volume VI of Colloid Chemistry (1946) edited by Jerome Alexander, there are chapters on the Geiger-Miiller x-ray spectrometer, electron microscopy, catalysis and its industrial applications, soil stabilization, polythene, and potential nuclear energy. Such information is typed on 3 X 5 cards on some books as many as forty or fifty cards may be required. In this way an extremely useful file of information has been built up that might otherwise be overlooked as valuable data sometimes appear in unexpected places. 

In the more than fifty years since, NA has grown into one of the largest organizations of its kind. Today, groups are located all over the world, and its books and pamphlets are published in thirty-two languages. No matter where the group is located, each chapter is based on the twelve steps first formulated in AA ... 

Because of the relative newness of the petrochemical industry, very few books have been published which have chapters on the commercial development of hydrocarbons from petroleum and natural gas. A list of miscellaneous books and pamphlets of interest is given in the bibliography. 

Review publications give considerable attention to the desired products. Reports on the Progress of Applied Chemistry, is published annually by the Society of Chemical Industry, London (91, Two sections of Reviews of Petroleum Technology (95, are of special interest—the section on derived chemicals and the section on petroleum literature. The latter section is concerned primarily with the nonperiodical literature, such as books and pamphlets. This first volume of Progress in Organic Chemistry contains a section, Chemicals from Petroleum, which emphasizes the oxygenated derivatives (89. ...
