Governments of the countries and territories indicated have provided information on licit trade in and legitimate uses of and requirements for substances in Tables I and II of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988, on form D for the years 2002-2006. That information was requested in accordance with Economic and Social Council resolution 1995/20. Details may be made available on a case-by-case basis, subject to confidentiality of data. 

A number of States parties to the 1988 Convention have yet to meet their reporting obligations. The Islamic Republic of Iran has not submitted form D for 2004 and 2005. Belize has not submitted form D for the past three years and the Central African Republic has not submitted it for the past four years. Pakistan, a country importing large quantities of substances listed in Table I, including acetic anhydride, ephedrine, potassium permanganate and pseudoephedrine, has not submitted form D for 2003, 2004 and 2005. The Board reiterates its request to Pakistan to submit form D as soon as possible. 

Of the States parties to the 1988 Convention that have failed to submit form D for a number of years, Morocco, the Republic of Moldova and Turkmenistan have resumed providing that information to the Board. In addition, the Islamic Republic of Iran, which had failed to submit form D for several years, has now submitted it for 2002 and 2003 the Board requests it to submit form D for 2004 as soon as possible. 

Two structures that constitute a stereoisomeric pair are referred to as enantiomers. The two enantiomers for alanine are illustrated in figure 3.8. These two isomers are called L-alanine and D-alanine, according to the way in which the substituents are arranged about the asymmetric carbon atom. The naming by D and l (for dextrorotatory and levorotatory see chapter 6) refers to a convention established by Emil Fischer many years ago. According to this convention all amino acids found in proteins are of the l form. Some D-amino acids are found in bacterial cell walls and certain antibiotics. 

Since the relevant dimensional parameter is 1/D, the pseudoclas-sical large-Z) limit is closer to D = 3 than is the hyperquantum low-D limit. As in Fig. 3, for D finite but very large, equivalent to a very heavy electronic mass, the electrons are confined to harmonic oscillations about the fixed positions attained in the D oo limit. We call these motions Langmuir vibrations, to acknowledge his prescient suggestion 70 years ago [89] that the electrons could...rotate, revolve, or oscillate about definite positions in the atom. In a dimensional perturbation expansion the first-order term, proportional to 1/D, corresponds to these harmonic vibrations, whereas higher-order terms correspond to anharmonic contributions. Standard methods for analysis of molecular vibrations [90] thus become directly applicable to electronic structure. These methods are semiclassical in form and far simpler, both conceptually and computationally, than the conventional orbital formulation.
