In 1990, at the request of the Director of the Center for Refining, Petrochemistry and Engineering at the Ecole Nationale Superieure du Petrole et des Moteurs, the late Jean Durandet initiated the conceptual foundations for the new series that he was unable to complete. We would like to pay a tribute to him here. 

Taking into account that it is necessary to make vary the flaw detector settings during the main part of the verifications, the total number of verifications is rather important. So, Technical Center for Mechanical Industries (CETIM) began the development of an electronic system enabling to benefit of the current possibilities of generation of synthesised radio frequency signals and help of personal computer for operator assistance and calculation.

GenBank [32] is a text-numeric database of genetic sequences with more than 28 billion bases in 22 million sequences (January, 2003) from genetic research. The collection of all publidy available sequences is annotated with information such as sequence description, source organism, sequence length, or references. The database, estabhshed in 1967, is updated daily and produced by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (USA).

One way to model a solid is to use software designed for gas-phase molecular computations. A large enough piece of the solid can be modeled so that the region in the center for practical purposes describes the region at the center of an inhnite crystal. This is called a cluster calculation. 

Acrylonitrile reacts with the sodium salt of 4.5-dimethvl-A-4-thiazoline-2-thione (73J (R4 = R5 = Me) to yield 3-(2-cyanoethyl)-4.5-dimethyl-A-4-thiazoline-2-thione (74) (R4 = R, = Me) (Scheme 35 (160). Humphlett s studies of this reaction showed that the size of the R4 substituent is a determinant factor for the S versus N ratio (161. 162). If R4 == H, 100% of the N-substituted product (74) is obtained this drops to 50% when R4 = methyl, and only the S-substituted product (75) is obtained when R4 = phenyl. The same trend is observed with various CH2 = CH-X (X = C00CH3. COCH3) reagents (149). The S/N ratio also depends on the electrophilic center for CH2 = CH-X systems thus S-reaction occurs predominantly with acrylonitrile, whereas N-substitution predominates with methvlvinvlketone (149). 

The reaction is used for the chain extension of aldoses in the synthesis of new or unusual sugars In this case the starting material l arabinose is an abundant natural product and possesses the correct configurations at its three chirality centers for elaboration to the relatively rare l enantiomers of glucose and mannose After cyanohydrin formation the cyano groups are converted to aldehyde functions by hydrogenation m aqueous solution Under these conditions —C=N is reduced to —CH=NH and hydrolyzes rapidly to —CH=0 Use of a poisoned palladium on barium sulfate catalyst prevents further reduction to the alditols... 

Rule 2. When atoms attached directly to a double-bonded carbon have the same priority, the second atoms are considered and so on, if necessary, working outward once again from the double bond or chiral center. For example, in l-chloro-2-methylbutene, in CH3 the second atoms are H, H, H and in CH2CH3 they are C, H, H. Since carbon has a higher atomic number than hydrogen, the ethyl group has the next highest priority after the chlorine atom. 

These monomers provide a means for introducing carboxyl groups into copolymers. In copolymers these acids can improve adhesion properties, improve freeze-thaw and mechanical stability of polymer dispersions, provide stability in alkalies (including ammonia), increase resistance to attack by oils, and provide reactive centers for cross-linking by divalent metal ions, diamines, or epoxides. 

The kinds of vinyl monomers which undergo anionic polymerization are those with electron-withdrawing substituents such as the nitrile, carboxyl, and phenyl groups. We represent the catalysts as AB in this discussion these are substances which break into a cation (A ) and an anion (B ) under the conditions of the reaction. In anionic polymerization it is the basic anion which adds across the double bond of the monomer to form the active center for polymerization ...
