Another technique often used to examine the stmcture of double-heUcal oligonucleotides is two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy (see AfAGNETiC SPIN resonance). This method rehes on measurement of the nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) through space to determine the distances between protons (6). The stmcture of an oligonucleotide may be determined theoretically from a set of iaterproton distances. As a result of the complexities of the experiment and data analysis, the quality of the stmctural information obtained is debated. However, nmr spectroscopy does provide information pertaining to the stmcture of DNA ia solution and can serve as a complement to the stmctural information provided by crystallographic analysis. 

Dioxolane also pseudorotates essentially freely in the vapor phase. 2,2 -Bi-l,3-dioxolane (128) has been shown by X-ray crystallography to have a conformation midway between the half-chair and envelope forms. The related compound 2-oxo-l 3-dioxolane (129) shows a half-chair conformation. This result is confirmed by microwave spectroscopy and by NMR data. Analysis of the AA BB NMR spectra of the ring hydrogen atoms in some 1,3-dioxolane lerivatives is in agreement with a puckered ring. Some 2-alkoxy-l,3-dioxolanes (130) display anti and gauche forms about the exocyclic C(2)—O bond. 

X-ray absorption spectroscopy is an important part of the armory of techniques for examining pure and applied problems in surface physics and chemistry. The basic physical principles are well understood, and the experimental methods and data analysis have advanced to sophisticated levels, allowing difficult problems to be solved. For some scientists the inconvenience of having to visit synchrotron radia-...

Figure 9. Data reduction and data analysis in EXAFS spectroscopy. (A) EXAFS spectrum x(k) versus k after background removal. (B) The solid curve is the weighted EXAFS spectrum k3x(k) versus k (after multiplying (k) by k3). The dashed curve represents an attempt to fit the data with a two-distance model by the curve-fitting (CF) technique. (C) Fourier transformation (FT) of the weighted EXAFS spectrum in momentum (k) space into the radial distribution function p3(r ) versus r in distance space. The dashed curve is the window function used to filter the major peak in Fourier filtering (FF). (D) Fourier-filtered EXAFS spectrum k3x (k) versus k (solid curve) of the major peak in (C) after back-transforming into k space. The dashed curve attempts to fit the filtered data with a single-distance model. (From Ref. 25, with permission.)...

Alternatively, NIR spectroscopy has been applied to relate NIR data to mechanical properties [4], A multivariate data analysis was performed on a series of commercial ethene copolymers with 1-butene and 1-octene. For the density correlation, a coefficient of determination better than 99% was obtained, whereas this was 97.7% for the flexural modulus, and only 85% for the tensile strength. 

Data analysis for this series was performed using MathCad and the statistical methods used are described in greater detail in Youden s monograph [7] and in Mark and Workman [8], We use the MathCad worksheets both to illustrate how the theoretical concepts can be put to actual use and also to demonstrate how to perform the calculations we describe. The worksheets will be printed along with the chapters in which they are first used. At a later date we are planning to enable you to go to the Spectroscopy home page (http //www.spectroscopymag.com) and find them. If, and when, the actual URLs for the worksheets become available, we will let you know. 

Sections on matrix algebra, analytic geometry, experimental design, instrument and system calibration, noise, derivatives and their use in data analysis, linearity and nonlinearity are described. Collaborative laboratory studies, using ANOVA, testing for systematic error, ranking tests for collaborative studies, and efficient comparison of two analytical methods are included. Discussion on topics such as the limitations in analytical accuracy and brief introductions to the statistics of spectral searches and the chemometrics of imaging spectroscopy are included. 

The shift of Pb-214 to a slightly higher size distribution compared to Pb-212 was also found using 1-ACFM and HVI impactors (Fig. 2). The higher flow rates of these impactors, as well as the ability to measure HVI activity by gamma spectroscopy, made us confident that this shift was real and not a data analysis artifact.

The physico-chemical changes induced in polymers following exposure to radiation can be studied by a range of spectroscopic techniques. Recent developments in instrumentation and data analysis procedures in electronic, vibrational and magnetic resonance spectroscopies have provided considerable new insights into polymer structure and behaviour. The application of these spectroscopic methods in polymer studies are reviewed with emphasis on their utility in investigations of radiation effects on macromolecules.

Data Analysis in Chemistry is an ambitious title of course we cannot cover all aspects of data analysis in chemistry. A substantial fraction of the examples investigated in the different chapters is based on data from absorption spectroscopy. Absorption spectroscopy is a very powerful and very readily available technique there are very few laboratories that do not have a spectrophotometer. Further, Beer-Lambert s law establishes a very neat and simple relationship between signal and concentration of species in solution. 

Recently, introductory books about chemometrics have been published by R. G. Brereton, Chemometrics—Data Analysis for the Laboratory and Chemical Plant (Brereton 2006) and Applied Chemometrics for Scientists (Brereton 2007), and by M. Otto, Chemometrics—Statistics and Computer Application in Analytical Chemistry (Otto 2007). Dedicated to quantitative chemical analysis, especially using infrared spectroscopy data, are A User-Friendly Guide to Multivariate Calibration and Classification (Naes et al. 2004), Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis (Kramer 1998), Chemometrics A Practical Guide (Beebe et al. 1998), and Statistics and Chemometrics for Analytical Chemistry (Miller and Miller 2000).

There are many ways to measure the concentrations of reacting species or species formed during the reaction, such as there are gc, UV-visible spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, refiactometry, polarometry, etc. Conversion can be monitored by pressure measurements, gas-flow measurements, calorimetry, etc. Data are collected on a computer and many programmes are available for data analysis [3,4], The two-reaction system described above can be treated graphically, if it fulfils either the Bodenstein or Michaelis-Menten criteria. 

Fluorescence spectroscopy and its applications to the physical and life sciences have evolved rapidly during the past decade. The increased interest in fluorescence appears to be due to advances in time resolution, methods of data analysis and improved instrumentation. With these advances, it is now practical to perform time-resolved measurements with enough resolution to compare the results with the structural and dynamic features of macromolecules, to probe the structures of proteins, membranes, and nucleic acids, and to acquire two-dimensional microscopic images of chemical or protein distributions in cell cultures. Advances in laser and detector technology have also resulted in renewed interest in fluorescence for clinical and analytical chemistry.
