Dedication, continuous

This work is the starting point for a reliable collection of natural products that is as comprehensive as possible and that includes particularly important and typical representatives of all classes of substances. A goal such as this one cannot be realized through one single book but rather through a dedicated continuation. Seen in those terms, this collection is a beginning waiting to be continued.

With regard to the characteristics of the Schedule 2 plant sites inspected, the Secretariat has noticed a wide range of equipment configurations. Based on the list of inspectable Schedule 2 plant sites, 60% are multipurpose-batch, 27% are dedicated-batch, and 13% are dedicated-continuous. The equipment in the multipurpose-batch configurations normally have greater flexibility to produce, process, or consume a wider range of chemicals. 

Dedicated Vehicles. Only Brazil and California have continued implementing alcohols in the transportation sector. The BraziUan program, the largest alternative fuel program in the world, used about 7.5% of oil equivalent of ethanol in 1987 (equivalent to 150,000 bbl of cmde oil per day). In 1987 about 4 million vehicles operated on 100% ethanol and 94% of all new vehicles purchased that year were ethanol-fueled. About 25% of Brazil s light-duty vehicle fleet (10) operate on alcohol. The leading BraziUan OEMs are Autolatina (a joint venture of Volkswagen and Ford), GM, and Fiat. Vehicles are manufactured and marketed in Brazil. 

Batchwise operated multipurpose plants are per defmitionem the vehicle for the production of fine chemicals. There are, however, a few examples of fine chemicals produced ia dedicated, coatiauous plants. These can be advantageous if the raw materials or products are gaseous or Hquid rather than soHd, if the reaction is strongly exothermic or endothermic or otherwise hazardous, and if the requirement for the product warrants a continued capacity utilization. Some fine chemicals produced by continuous processes are methyl 4-chloroacetoacetate [32807-28-6] C H CIO [32807-28-6], and malononittile [109-77-3] C2H2N2, made by Lonza dimethyl acetonedicarboxylate [1830-54-2] made by Ube and L-2-chloropropionic acid [107-94-8] C2H C102, produced by Zeneca. 

Production Rc-quirc-mc-nts. Production of commodity chemicals usuaHy requkes large dedicated plants, generaHy in continuous operation and often with a proprietary process. A basic raw material position is preferred and is sometimes requked. Specialty chemicals, on the other hand, requke smaH- to medium-sized batch-type plants with inherent flexibHity. A basic raw material position is rarely requked. 

Being excellent at discrete logic, PLCs are a potential candidate for implementing interlocks. Process interlocks are clearlv acceptable for implementation within a PLC. Implementation of safety interlocks in programmable electronic systems (such as a PLC) is not universally accepted. Many organizations continue to require that all safety interlocks be hard-wired, but implementing safety interlocks in a PLC that is dedicated to safety functions is accepted by some as being equivalent to the hard-wired approach. 

The safety improvements use redundancy and diversity to prevent and mitigate lents. The safety injection system (SIS) and emergency feedwater system (EFWS) are dedicated four train systems. Containment spray and safety injection pumps take water from the in-containment water storage tank (IRWST), thus, eliminating the need to switch from an external source and provide a. semi-closed system with continuous recirculation. Emergency core coolant flows direc nto the... 

Type B1 cabinets must be hard-ducted, preferably to their own dedicated exhaust system, or to a properly designed laboratory building exhaust. Blowers on laboratory exhaust systems should be located at the terminal end of the duct work. A failure in the building exhaust system may not be apparent to the user, as the supply blowers in the cabinet will continue to operate. A pressure-dependent monitor should be installed to sound an alarm and shut off the BSC supply fan, should failure in exhaust airflow occur. Since this feature is not supplied by all cabinet manufacturers, it is prudent to install a sensor in the exhaust system as necessary. To maintain critical operations, laboratories using Type B1 BSCs should connect the exhaust blow er to the emergency power supply. 

Goals such as these can only be achieved through an ongoing, companywide effort. We endorse and promote process safety management as a priority throughout our businesses, and will dedicate the appropriate resources— time, skills, money— to assure continuous improvement. 

Elements beyond 103 are expected to be 6d elements forming a fourth transition series, and attempts to synthesize them have continued during the past thirty years. All 10 (including, of course, actinium) are now known and are discussed in the section on transactinide elements on p. 1280. The work has required the dedicated commitment of extensive national facilities and has been carried out at the Lawrence-Berkeley Laboratories, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research at Dubna, and the Heavy-Ion Research Centre (GSI) at Darmstadt, Germany. 

We dedicate this book to Beiyle and Betty who continue to support us in every imaginable way and to the memory of Katrina Mitschcr-Chapman (1958-1987) who was looking forward with her customary enthusiasm to helping us prepare the manuscript. 

The functions of the Academie Royal des Sciences were assumed in 1795 by a branch of the newly formed National Institute. Laplace was elected vice president of this reincarnated Academy and then elected president a few months later, in 1796. The duties of this position put him in contact with Napoleon Bonaparte. Three weeks after Napoleon seized power m 1799, Laplace presented him with copies of his work on celestial mechanics. Bonaparte quipped that he would read it in the first six weeks I have free and invited Laplace and his wife to dinner. Three weeks later, Napoleon named Laplace his minister of the interior. After six weeks, however, he was replaced Napoleon thought him a complete failure as an administrator. However, Napoleon continued to heap honors and rewards upon him, regarding him as a decoration of the state. lie made Laplace a chancellor of the Senate with a salai y that made him wealthy, named him to the Legion of Honor, and raised him to the rank of count of the empire. Laplace s wife was appointed a lady-in-waitmg to the Italian court of Napoleon s sister. Laplace responded with adulatory dedications of his works to Napoleon. 

One very important group of infrared instruments consists of spectrometers used for quantitative measurements either as part of a continuous industrial monitoring process or for environmental studies. These instruments are normally purpose-made, dedicated machines designed to run virtually automatically, and are normally intended only to measure a single compound or family of compounds. 

So long as a compound has a fairly intense absorption which is unlikely to overlap with those of other substances with which it is likely to be mixed, then it is possible to monitor that substance on a continuous basis with a dedicated infrared detector. Gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ethylene oxide and ammonia can now be measured and regulated using these devices. 

The skillful and dedicated collaborative efforts of members of the ANL Chemistry Division Radiation Chemistry Group, S. Gordon, W. Mulac and K. H. Schmidt have provided not only the technical expertise but also continuing intellectual stimulation which has made the pulse radiolysis studies possible. 

This paper is dedicated to the hundreds of millions of impoverished and exploited people of the forests in the developing world. Most will have little hope or opportunity to escape the misery of poverty unless the sociopolitical constraints that result in both overexploitation of natural resources and continued human suffering are overcome. This includes an increased awareness, compassion and action from the citizens, governments, and businesses of developed countries. We wish to thank Bev Clark, Dodi Reesman and Sheila Till for assistance with manuscript preparation and Drs. L. F. DeBano, D. A. Perry and one anonymous reviewer for helpful reviews of this manuscript.

In retrospect, we believe that Professor Mulliken was perhaps somewhat overstating his case in the remark quoted in the Introduction, concerning the status of computational chemistry in 1965. However, considered as a prophetic remark, the quotation certainly applies today, and it is a pleasure to dedicate this account to Professor Yngve Ohrn acknowledging his many important contributions to this development. These contributions include not only his own work on theoretical and computational approaches to central questions in chemistry, but also his continued engagement in the Sanibel Conferences and in the International Journal of Quemtum Chemistry.
