Excel cells

Alternatively, you can import/export data between Access and Excel by Copy and Paste operations, provided that matching records/fields (Access) and range of cells (Excel) are selected in the exchange. 

If you enter text characters (any character other than numbers, the decimal point, or the characters +, -,, /,, %) in a cell. Excel will recognize the entry as... 

The differences between Excel 5 and subsequent versions are mostly trivial and cosmetic. The look of several features and dialog boxes is somewhat different in the two versions. There are some minor changes in convenience for example, in Excel 5, cell notes (mentioned in section 1.9) are not displayed automatically when you point to the cell. Excel 5 also has somewhat less extensive Help features, and provides less online VBA help. However, none of these will seriously affect the spreadsheet exercises in this book. 

Petroleum coke is an excellent fuel, and that is its main use, especially for the coke from fluid coking". There are some other markets that have to do with calcined coke electrodes for aluminum production or for all other electrolytic cells, carbons for electro-mechanical equipment, graphite, and pigments. 

Neumann has adapted the pendant drop experiment (see Section II-7) to measure the surface pressure of insoluble monolayers [70]. By varying the droplet volume with a motor-driven syringe, they measure the surface pressure as a function of area in both expansion and compression. In tests with octadecanol monolayers, they found excellent agreement between axisymmetric drop shape analysis and a conventional film balance. Unlike the Wilhelmy plate and film balance, the pendant drop experiment can be readily adapted to studies in a pressure cell [70]. In studies of the rate dependence of the molecular area at collapse, Neumann and co-workers found more consistent and reproducible results with the actual area at collapse rather than that determined by conventional extrapolation to zero surface pressure [71]. The collapse pressure and shape of the pressure-area isotherm change with the compression rate [72]. 

Once entered into a spreadsheet, data can be manipulated column at a time. For example, let us take the top cells in Table 1-3 as cells A3 and B3 (columns A and B, line 3 in Table 1-3) containing 5 and 0.305 to avoid dividing 0 by 0. Using the easycalc option of the tools menu in Excel, divide the contents of B3 by A3 and place the results in cell C3. Now select C3 and the remaining 12 unfilled cells in the column, C3 to Cl 5, and fill down using the mouse. The results of the calculation of Cp/T appear for all remaining cells in the C column. 

In the finely divided state platinum is an excellent catalyst, having long been used in the contact process for producing sulfuric acid. It is also used as a catalyst in cracking petroleum products. Much interest exists in using platinum as a catalyst in fuel cells and in antipollution devices for automobiles. 

Historical Inhalation Agents. Diethyl ether produces excellent surgical anesthesia, but it is flammable (see Ethers). Chloroform is a nonflammable, sweet smelling, colorless Hquid which provides analgesia at nonanesthetic doses and can provide potent anesthesia at 1% (see Chlorocarbons AND CHLOROHYDROCARBONs). However, a metabohte causes hepatic cell necrosis. Tdlene, a nonflammable colorless Hquid, has a slower onset and recovery and a higher toxicity and chemical reactivity than desirable. Cyclopropane is a colorless gas which has rapid induction (2 —3 min) and recovery characteristics and analgesia is obtained in the range of 3—5% with adequate skeletal muscle relaxation (see Hydrocarbons). The use of cyclopropane has ceased, however, because of its flammabiHty and marked predisposition to cause arrhythmias. 

Optical Applications. Vitreous siUca is ideal for many optical appHcations because of its excellent ultraviolet transmission, resistance to radiation darkening, optical polishing properties, and physical and chemical stabiUty. It is used for prisms, lenses, cells, wiadows, and other optical components where ultraviolet transmission is critical. Cuvettes used ia scatter and spectrophotometer cells are manufactured from fused siUca and fused quart2 because of the transmissive properties and high purity (222). 

Silicone foam thus formed has an open ceU stmcture and is a relatively poor insulating material. Cell size can be controlled by the selection of fillers, which serve as bubble nucleating sites. The addition of quartz as a filler gready improves the flame retardancy of the foam char yields of >65% can be achieved. Because of its excellent dammabiUty characteristics, siUcone foam is used in building and constmction fire-stop systems and as pipe insulation in power plants. Typical physical properties of siUcone foam are Hsted in Table 10. 

Liquid Cathode Cells. Liquid cathode cells were discovered at almost the same time as the successful soHd cathode cells. A strongly oxidising hquid such as SO2, was deterrnined to be suitable for direct contact with the strongly reducing lithium, because an excellent passivating film forms... 

An excellent review covers the charge and discharge processes in detail (30) and ongoing research on lead—acid batteries may be found in two symposia proceedings (32,33). Detailed studies of the kinetics and mechanisms of lead —acid battery reactions are pubUshed continually (34). Although many questions concerning the exact nature of the reactions remain unanswered, the experimental data on the lead—acid cell are more complete than for most other electrochemical systems.
