CONCISE

This dictionary puts the pleasure back into word-seeking. Every time you look at a page you get a bonus - a panel telling you everything about a particular word or expression. It is, therefore, a dictionary to be read as well as used for its concise and up-to-date definitions. 

How are the big deals made Which are the institutions that really matter What causes the pound to rise or interest rates to fall This book provides clear and concise answers to these and many other money-related questions. 

Cut through the complexities Work the system in your favour Don t pay a penny more than you have to Written for anyone who has to deal with personal tax, this up-to-date and concise new handbook includes all the important changes in this year s budget. 

Over 17,000 terms from psychology, psychiatry and related fields are given clear, concise and modern definitions. 

Expectation curves are alternatively known as probability curves . This text will use the term expectation curve for conciseness.

Includes basic interpretation, 30 valuable tables of data, and a concise introduction to multidimensional NMR spectra from an interpretational point of view. 

A concise introduction to the calculation of analytical derivatives in quantum chemistry, with applications to simulating vibrational spectra. 

A concise summary of chemistry of technologically important reactions catalysed by organometallic complexes in solution. Cornils B and Herrmann W A (eds) 1996 Applied Homogeneous Catalysis with Organometallio Compounds (Weinheim VCH) A two-volume, multiauthored account with emphasis on industrial applications. 

A concise, still highly relevant account of a supremely important principle. 

In this section, the systematic search for conical intersections based on the Longuet-Higgins phase-change rule is described. For conciseness sake, we limit the present discussion to Hiickel-type systems only, unless specifically noted otherwise. The first step in the antilysis is the determination of the LH loops containing a conical intersection for the reaction of interest. 

A major difficulty in an inorganic text is to strike a balance between a short readable book and a longer, more detailed text which can be used for reference purposes. In reaching what we hope is a reasonable compromise between these two extremes, we acknowledge that both the historical background and industrial processes have been treated very concisely. We must also say that we have not hesitated to simplify complicated reactions or other phenomena—thus, for example, the treatment of amphoterism as a pH-dependent sequence between a simple aquo-cation and a simple hydroxo-anion neglects the presence of more complicated species but enables the phenomena to be adequately understood at this level. 

The idea is illustrated by Fig. 1. These equations constitute a readily understandable and concise representation of the widely used Verlet-I/r-RESPA impulse MTS method. The method was described first in [8, 9] but tested... 

The Wiswesser Line Notation (WLN) was introduced in 1946, in order to organize and to systematically describe the cornucopia of compounds in a more concise manner. A line notation represents a chemical structure by an alphanumeric sequence, which significantly simplifies the processing by the computer [9-11], (n many cases the WLN uses the standard symbols for the chemical elements. Additionally, functional groups, ring systems, positions of ring substituents, and posi-... 

If the query provides thousands of hits, the analyze features are particularly advantageous. One method is to analyze the results by any of the criteria that arc listed, c.g., by language (default), author names, journals, puhlication year, and so on. If one specification is selected and the choice is modified, the hit list will be updated. A more specific analysis is available with the Refine" option. where the user has the opportunity to choose one of eight criteria (including the search topics above) with further individual input. Several refinements of the hit list can reduce the result to a concise list of literature. To read the abstract of an article, the microscope button (to the right of the citation) has to be pressed (Figure 5-15). 

A more concise form of this equation can be obtained if we recognise that / = Kjj-. 

The Hammett substituent parameter was used by Hansch as a concise measure of th electronic characteristics of the molecules. Hammett and others (such as Taft) showed the... 

Descriptive properties for a basic group of approximately 1400 inorganic compounds are compiled in Section 3. These follow a concise, revised introduction to inorganic nomenclature that follows the recommendations of the lUPAC published in 1990. In this section are given the exact atomic (or formula) weight of the elements accompanied, when available, by the uncertainty in the final figure given in parentheses. 

For various reasons, it has been decided to close the present series of Back-to-Basics and collect the articles in a book that can be placed on a shelf and used as a reference source. It is an unusual book format, having a large number of rather short chapters together with a collection of brief summaries, included as Appendix A. Thus the book will still serve the dual purposes of describing fundamentals and additionally providing a concise synopsis of each article. 

Concise reviews of pertinent aspects of thermodynamics, kinetics, spectrophotometry, etc. are presented prior to developing applications of these topics to polymers. 

Reference 27 gives a concise overview of the processing and fabrication of acetal resins. 

There are variations in representation of rings in different disciplines. The dye industry does not designate aromaticity or double bonds in rings. AH double bonds and aromaticity are shown in the Encyclopedia as a matter of course. For example, tetralin has an aromatic ring and a saturated ring and its stmcture appears in the Encyclopedia with its common name. Registry Number enclosed in brackets, and parenthetical CA index name, ie, tetralin [119-64-2] (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene). With names and stmctural formulas, and especiaHy with CAS Registry Numbers, the aim is to help the reader have a concise means of substance identification.

It shows concisely the existing vendor capacities for the raw material, planned expansions or new producers, demands for other uses, and demand within the analyst s company. In some cases, the report includes a wodd supply and demand balance. A key objective of a purchase profile report is to make the buyer as well informed as the marketing manager of the seller. If this is achieved, the buyer can often secure a beneficial purchase contract. 

Function. This describes in a concise, short statement the exact function(s) the component/subsystem must perform. A component/subsystem may have more than one function.

WeU-written procedures should begin with a purpose and scope. The procedure section usually follows, describing the work process, and it should be clearly and concisely written. The document should include copies of all forms and a process flow diagram for illustration.
