C. Daniel, App/ications of Statistics to lndustria/Experimentation, ]oE Wiley Sons, Inc., New York, 1976. This book is based on the personal experiences and insights of the author, an eminent practitioner of industrial appHcations of experimental design. It provides extensive discussions and concepts, especially in the areas of factorial and fractional factorial designs. "The book should be of use to experimenters who have some knowledge of elementary statistics and to statisticians who want simple explanations, detailed examples, and a documentation of the variety of outcomes that may be encountered." Some of the unusual features are chapters on "Sequences of fractional repHcates" and "Trend-robust plans," and sections entided, "What is the answer (what is the question )," and "Conclusions and apologies."... 

Generally speaking, to obtain, reliable rheological characteristics of disperse systems with fibre-like filler turned out to be a difficult methodological problem. Therefore, the question on the effect of the shape of a filler particles on the value of yield stress is left open at present. In the papers published we can encounter only individual examples and qualitative considerations concerning this question, which do not enable us to formulate general conclusions. 

This book focuses on statistical data evaluation, but does so in a fashion that integrates the question—plan—experiment—result—interpretation—answer cycle by offering a multitude of real-life examples and numerical simulations to show what information can, or cannot, be extracted from a given data set. This perspective covers both the daily experience of the lab supervisor and the worries of the project manager. Only the bare minimum of theory is presented, but is extensively referenced to educational articles in easily accessible journals. 

It is very clear, therefore, that there have been many examples of neurotoxic effects, both lethal and sublethal, caused by pesticides in the field over a long period of time. Far less clear, despite certain well-documented cases, is to what extent these effects, especially sublethal ones, have had consequent effects at the population level and above. Interest in this question remains because neurotoxic pesticides such as pyre-throids, neonicotinoids, OPs, and carbamates continue to be used, and questions continue to be asked about their side effects, for example, on fish (Sandahl et al. 2005), and on bees and other beneficial insects (see, for example, Barnett et al. 2007). 

It has taken time for methods to be developed that meet the desire of microbial ecologists to learn more about carbon flow and microbial communities in natural environments. In recent years techniques have developed at considerable speed that offer the potential to answer some of the commonly asked questions. Use of C techniques for measuring carbon flow is one example. While questions still remain about the interpretation and relevance of some modern methods regarding the real makeup and interactions in mixed populations, there is no doubt that the use of biochemical or molecular signatures provides the best opportunity to advance our knowledge in this area. 

In recent years pharmaceutical scientists have participated in lively discussions about how present methods of bioequivalency determination might legitimately and advantageously be modified. For example, the question of whether it is necessary to always take plasma samples so that AUC at the end of the test is at least 90% of AUC at time infinity has been explored [7,8], Statistical aspects of this and other possible methods of modifying protocol design are covered in a most useful book published in 1999 and in several papers [8-10,22],... 

Schmidt The liver is sort of an example, and the practical answer to the question of why it is useful to know is because sometimes we want to reconstitute livers. When you do a two-thirds partial hepatectomy all the cells divide. Suppose you push this to a limit and take out 90% of a liver, the hope is that there is something called a liver stem cell which is at something called GO, which is capable of reconstituting 90% as opposed to 67%. Is this a practical definition of GO ... 

Another example illustrating the apparent problems with the enthalpy-of-formation data for some tin compounds concerns the term (Sn—Sn). In order to avoid the complication related to the term (Sn—Cb), the bond enthalpy (Sn—Sn) in Table 4 was calculated from A/ °[(SnMe3)2, g]. As a confirmation, one can then derive the value for the same term from A ff °[(SnEt3)2, g]—they should be similar. Yet, this calculation yields (Sn—Sn) = 223.18 kJmol-1, a value which looks unreasonably high and questions the experimental value of A °[(SnEt3)2, g] in Table 3. 

In the Oxford Primer series, the book Electrode Potentials by Richard G. Compton and Giles H. W. Sanders, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1996, is an introduction. It is intended for the absolute novice, but develops themes to a satisfactory level. Its treatment of the Nemst equation is both thorough and straightforward. It contains copious examples and self-assessment questions. 

Fundamentals of Electroanalytical Chemistry, by Paul Monk, Wiley, Chichester, 2002, is intended to be an easy read. It was written for those learning at a distance. Its style is non-mathematical, and involves a series of discussion questions . It s also packed full of worked examples and self-assessment questions. 

More in-depth treatments include Ultraviolet and Visible Spectroscopy (second edition) by Michael Thomas, Wiley, Chichester, 1997. This book was written as part of a distance-learning course within the Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning (ACOL) series, so it contains a good number of examples and sample questions. Its typical ACOL format will probably annoy some readers. 

Directions No Calculators may be used with Part B. Your responses to the rest of the questions in this part of the examination will be graded on the basis of the accurancy and relevance of the information cited. Explanations should be clear and well organized. Examples and equations may be included in your responses where appropriate. Specific answers are preferable to brad, diffuse responses. Answer both Question 5 and 6. Both of these questions will be graded. The Section II score weighting for this question is 30% (15% each). 

The existence of anatomically defined vomiting centre has been discussed. Borison and Wang [72] induced emesis in cats from sites located in the dorsolateral medulla closely associated with the AP and inspiratory centre. Miller and Wilson [73] did not reproduce these observations and questioned the existence of a vomiting centre. In fact, the site from which emesis can be induced should not be readily equated with the vomiting centre. For example, projectile vomiting could be induced by stimulation of the forebrain, which has... 

You may find the worked examples in Chapter 5 helpful for seeing how the Preliminary Screening Method is used and how the results are documented for a few typical situations. Each of the twelve questions in the screening method is explained in turn in the remainder of this chapter, with examples and other considerations. 

You are required to answer six free-response questions. The point totals will vary, but there is an adjustment of the points to match the assigned weighting of the question. For example, question 1 may be on a scale of 10 points, while question 2 may be on a scale of 7 points, and question 3 on a scale of 5 points. Since these questions are to count equally, a multiplier will be used to adjust the points to the same overall value. 

If you answered 4-7 questions correctly, there are several areas you need to review. Carefully read through the lesson in this chapter for review and skill building. Work carefully through the examples and pay attention to the sidebars that refer you to definitions, hints, and shortcuts. Get additional practice on the properties of numbers by taking the quiz at the end of the chapter. 

If you answered 1-3 questions correctly, give this chapter your concentrated effort. Make sure you have read and understood Chapters 4 and 5 they are the foundation for the concept of percent. Work through all examples, and try the different methods of solution with each problem. Go to the suggested websites in the Extra Help area in this chapter, and do extended... 

If you answered 8-10 questions correctly, you are a good problem solver. Read through the lesson to discover alternate methods of solution. Chances are, there will be new techniques explained that will be of benefit to you. Try all the examples and practice questions at the end of the chapter there may be different types of problems than the ten given thus far. 

All these examples, and it would be possible to quote more, are a manifestation that captor and donor subtituents stabilize radicals. Judged by the temperature range where dissociation occurs it seems as if captodative substitution stabilizes better than dicaptor substitution (Stella et al., 1981). Mostly, however, these are qualitative or semiquantitative observations which do not allow one to evaluate the magnitude of stabilization in kcal mol". In particular, the question of a synergetic action of the captor and the donor substituent cannot be answered satisfactorily. In part, the observed effects might be related to steric interactions of the substituents. 

Crow, D. R., Principles and Applications of Electrochemistry, 4th Edn, Blackie Academic, Glasgow, 1994. This text has quite a long history now (first published in 1974). It is pleasure to read and is therefore recommended highly, both for potentiometric and voltammetric study. Some of its examples and self-assignment questions are ideal practise material. 

Compton, R. G. and Sanders, G. H. W., Electrode Potentials, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1996. This book is another in the Oxford Primer Series, and thus represents good value for money. The treatment of the Nernst equation, in particular, is thorough and straightforward. This book contains copious examples and exercises in the form of self-assessment questions (SAQs). Note, however, that it does not cover sensors.
