Diversity definition

Consequently, there exists a wide range of diverse definitions. One of the most appropriate is that of Reilley [1965] Analytical chemistry is what analytical chemists do which is, however, not really helpful. 

In the United States, the use of products, including botanicals, thought to fall within the realm of complementary and alternative medicine is very common. It is difficult to obtain reliable estimates of use or to compare many of the current publications in this area because of diverse definitions for categorizing these products (e.g., dietary supplement, food supplement, herbal medicine, natural remedy, traditional medicine, etc.) in both the United States and elsewhere. A recent report on the use of complementary and alternative medicine by U.S. adults in 2002 indicated that approximately 19% of the population used nonvitamin, nonmineral, and natural products, 19% used folk medicine, and 3% used megavitamin therapy in the past 12 months (1). 

Encapsulation is used in many industrial and scientific domains. It is not surprising to find then diverse definitions and terminology, often directed to a specific field. However, a generic and functional definition could be...

This chapter discusses four important considerations in drug discovery definition of drug targets, generating diversity, definition of lead structures, and qualifying leads for transition to early trials. Many of the examples will be drawn from the realm of cancer chemotherapy, but the principles should be broadly applicable to a wide variety of disease types. 

Although the association between polycystic ovary syndrome and valproate treatment appears to be established, current published studies are limited, owing to small sample sizes and diverse definitions of polycystic ovary syndrome. Thus, the true clinical relevance and frequency of the association needs further investigation in large, multicenter, prospective studies.

Lipids are involved in many important biological processes in humans, and since the absorption and metabolism of munerous lipids are closely related to several diseases, analysis of lipids has grown greatly in recent years. Diverse definitions for lipids can be considered, but all of them include fatty acids and... 

This article provides a comprehensive review of modem approaches to analysis of electronic wavefunctions. Diverse definitions of properties such as atomic charges, energies, and valences, bond orders and energies, specialized orbitals, and similarities of atoms and molecules are presented. The merits and shortcomings of these definitions are discussed, Particular emphasis is placed on rigorous interpretive tools which produce quantities that can be regarded as tme quantum mechanical observables. Because of their lack of generality, approaches to quantification of chemical concepts that are limited to certain classes of molecules or electronic stmcture methods (such as n -electron bond orders in Hiickel theory) are not mentioned. 

Diagonal terms of the bond order matrix are related to two measures of atomic bonding capacities. Among the diverse definitions " " of the valence Va of an atom A, the expression ...
