The goal of this chapter was to present an overview of electrochemical instrumentation, not to carry the reader to the point of instrument construction. Most universities have one or more courses in electronics at an adequate level to build rudimentary apparatus. The nature of electrochemistry is such that some knowledge of electronics is extremely useful to good science. 

Abstract An overview of the application of microwave irradiation in natural product synthesis is presented, focusing on the developments in the last 5-10 years. This contribution covers the literature concerning the total synthesis of natural products and their analogues, the synthesis of alkaloids and the construction of building blocks of interest for natural product synthesis. As microwave irradiation appeared on the scene only recently, we are at an early stage of its application in natural product chemistry, even though some nice examples have been communicated recently. The application of dedicated microwave instruments as well as domestic microwave ovens is discussed, giving emphasis to the microwave-enhanced transformations. 

An overview of the construction of complex coUoid structures based on coated gold nanocrystals is provided, illustrating how geometry and optical properties are linked. The concept of rational design - building towards a topological structure predicated on desired properties is illustrated. 

It is important to have an understanding of both the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of axial coordination compoimds before attempting to construct a supramolecular assembly using these features. The simple reason is that if the mode of connectivity is badly chosen, the systems will not be stable in solution, and dissociation to yield the individual building blocks will be inevitable. The basic concepts are discussed in more detail in other chapters in this book therefore we will give only a brief overview. 

ETFE-foils as a fluorine-polymer material differ fundamentally from textile membrane materials in terms of their thermal-mechanical as well as building-physics behaviour. This chapter first introduces the construction forms and variants of ETFE-foil structures and provides an overview of the development of ETFE-foil constructions from an architectural perspective. Subsequently, the morphological structure of ETFE and the manufacturing process as well as the material behaviour and load-bearing characteristics of ETFE-foils are outlined. The final section discusses future development potentials and the future use of ETFE-foil constructions in structural engineering. 

At the UDC (University Department for Course Development, University of Leuven) a project has been initiated to build a computercoach for authors who are university domain-experts. It intends to cover the design and development process. The coach, Construct (Conceptual Structure), consists of four modules (selection, management, development, and validation). A brief overview of these modules will be given. Next, the development module will be described in greater detail as it covers the development tasks of the author. Each of the modules consists of a number of components (Fig. 2). For a more elaborate description of the coach [32]. 

The proposed system has three functions (1) accuracy evaluation, (2) accuracy data accumulation, and (3) search and reuse of accuracy data. The objective of the study shown in this section is to build a method for identifying knowledge, knowhow and techniques in the field based on the data managed by the developed system and evaluated by the three dimensional measured data in the ship construction process. The overview of the whole system is shown in Fig. 23.10. All types of data are stored in the database and, as well, the metadata is assigned to the data. Any data stored in the system can be reachable efficiently thanks to the metadata. 

In 1953, studies were conducted by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to show the technical and economic feasibility of constructing a dual-purpose reactor capable of producing SNM for weapons and research and steam for electricity. In 1957, Congress authorized the AEC (now a part of DOE) to build a special reactor on the Hanford Site. Construction of the New Production Reactor, now simply called N Reactor, began Nay 1, 1959. It took 4.5 years to complete initial criticality was achieved December 31, 1963. Table 4-1 provides an overview of significant dates for major activities occurring at 100-N.
