Examples of CASE at work

We see from Table 1 that the only observable nuclide for oxygen, 0, has a very low natural abundance, even in comparison with those of popular nuclides like (1.108%) and N (031%). Moreover, its quadrupole moment prevents any practical utilization of polarization transfer techniques like INEPT or DEPT, now widely used in and N NMR spectroscopies. A range of chemical shifts much wider than those of and N is an important point in favour of utilization of 0. All these properties did not prevent important applications of O NMR spectroscopy in organic chemistry, even from the times of continuous wave NMR spectroscopy. Interesting examples of such pioneering works can be found both at natural abundance as well as with enriched samples . However, also in the case of O NMR spectroscopy, FT NMR proved to be decisive for its development. 

The text is deliberately concise. Each chapter is designed to cover the content of one 50-minute lecture, twenty-seven in all, and allows time for demonstrations and illustrative slides. A list of the slides, and a description of the demonstrations that we have found appropriate to each lecture, are given in Appendix 2. The text contains sets of worked case studies (Chapters 7, 12, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 27) which apply the material of the preceding block of lectures. There are examples for the student at the end of the book worked solutions are available separately from the publisher. 

If the assessment shows that the exposure approaches the limit values, so that the OEL is met but there is a probability of exceeding the limit values, subsequent measurements at appropriate intervals must be taken to ensure that the assessment situation continues to prevail. The frequency of these measurements will depend on the previous results, so that the nearer the concentration recorded comes to the limit value, the more frequently measurements must be taken under normal working conditions. However, if the values are borderline, the decision of whether exposures are below the limit values within the OEA is not clear, and a more comprehensive sampling exercise may be required using, for example, worst-case measurements. This becomes more important the fewer the measurements that have been taken, so in case of doubt the evaluation results should be verified through additional selective measurements.
