Once the decision has been made to use QRA, the next step is to execute it effectively. Chapter 3 describes the process of setting up an individual QRA. This chapter discusses the importance of defining the right problem for analysis and selecting the right analysis techniques it also provides an overview (not a how to) of the various classes of QRA techniques. Chapter 4 discusses ways to interpret and use QRA results. Conclusions about the future of QRA in the CPI are offered in Chapter 5. 

Admitting an uncertainty of at least 50 %, Rasberry (1998) has reached his own semi-quantitative guesses and conclusions about the future trends for reference materials. The author together with the Editors has modified Raspberry s views slightly - upwards. 

The preceding treatment of the spin Hamiltonian terms in bulk semiconductors, where they are relatively-well understood, will provide a basis for the discussion of the NMR of nanocrystalline semiconductors in Sect. 4, since as a group they present special considerations and many unanswered questions remain. Section 5 will provide some general conclusions and suggest future promising avenues of NMR research in semiconductors.

Performance data of the pilot plant or used one and the future production plant. The data used are examples, selected from different actual operations to support some of the conclusions. 

It is generally assumed that electrons are transferred one by one (cases reported to be direct two-electron transfers 109 110 may actually be two very closely spaced one-electron transfers 11 ). This postulate immediately tells us that the first intermediate formed from a neutral substrate must be a cation radical in anodic oxidation and an anion radical in cathodic reduction and a neutral radical from oxidation of an organic anion and reduction of an organic cation. This has been amply verified both by electrochemical techniques and by ESR studies in inert SSE s 29,65) unfortunately, such results do not allow us to draw conclusions regarding the future reactions of these types of intermediates, as will be outlined in the following section. 

Early studies in this field were limited to the trinucleotide level. Because of the high molecular weights and the low volatility involved, mass spectra of polynucleotides did not appear to have much of a future. This led Wiebers to draw rather pessimistic conclusions about the future of the technique in terms of direct sequence analysis, without eventually having to resort to extensive derivatization or to partial degradation. 

In Chapter 4, Olson discusses ovarian nitric oxide, a local regulator of ovulation, oocyte maturation, and luteal function in mammals. Although this is a relatively new area of investigation, there is compelling evidence that nitric oxide is a local regulator of all of these key ovarian processes in mammals. The author provides an experimental basis for this conclusion and for future studies. 

In a state-of-the-art survey, Biology and the Future of Man [143], of the US National Academy of Sciences, the chances to realize the dream of a man-made cell were pondered. The conclusion reached was Those who are hopeful about synthesizing a cell in the foreseeable future have every reason to retain their optimism. However, they should be warned against false claims. Synthesis of life is one such false claim. Living things (i.e., a cell) can be synthesized but not life itself, and that is what people really mean when they are talking about synthesizing life.
