We have also added an entirely new section dealing with semi-microanalysis. In our original Introduction (p. ix) we justified the retention of macro-methods of quantitative analysis on the grounds that they formed an excellent introduction to micromethods and also afforded a valuable training in exact manipulation generally. By now, however, the macro-estimation particularly of carbon and hydrogen and of nitrogen has disappeared entirely from most laboratories. On the other hand, the micro-... 

The comparatively wide prevalence of micro-methods of quantitative organic analysis, applied more particularly to the estimation of the constituent elements in an organic compound, may cause the advisability of including the macro-methods in Part IV to be questioned. Quite apart, however, from the fact that the micro-methods still find no place in many laboratories, we consider that thorough practice in the macro-methods of quantitative analysis to be not only an excellent introduction to the micro-methods themselves, but also a valuable training in exact manipulation generally. 

Stability, Bifurcations, Limit Cycles Some aspects of this subject involve the solution of nonlinear equations other aspects involve the integration of ordinaiy differential equations apphcations include chaos and fractals as well as unusual operation of some chemical engineering eqmpment. Ref. 176 gives an excellent introduction to the subject and the details needed to apply the methods. Ref. 66 gives more details of the algorithms. A concise survey with some chemical engineering examples is given in Ref. 91. Bifurcation results are closely connected with stabihty of the steady states, which is essentially a transient phenomenon. 

Reviews of reaction rate theory by Laidler and Wayne are very helpful. A classic book by Glasstone et al. is still an excellent introduction to the subject. Eyring et al." provide an advanced, detailed treatment of kinetic theory.

Significant modifications were made to the following topics dispersion modeling, source modeling, flammability characterization, explosion venting, fundamentals of electrostatics, and case histories. This new edition also includes selected materials from the latest AICHE Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) books and is now an excellent introduction to the CCPS library. 

The fascinating book Sensational Chemistry, in the Open University s Our Chemical Environment series, OU Press, Milton Keynes, 1995, is an excellent introduction to the topic. The Web has several hundred relevant sites, most of which are simple to follow just go to a reputable search engine, and type acid-base indicator . 

For an excellent introduction to genetic algorithms, see the website constructed by Marek Obitko of the Czech Technical University at http //cs.felk.cvut.cz/ xobitko/ga1. It contains a genetic algorithm, coded as a Java Applet, which the user can run interactively, specifying his or her own objective if desired. 

An excellent introduction to the characteristics of screens is Redman s (1981) interesting approach, which identifies four characteristics of an assay. Redman assumes that a compound is either active or inactive and that the proportion of... 

Although the authors discuss a diversity of interests and chemical approaches, the chapters are connected by a common thread All are concerned with the synthesis and/or reactions of well-defined low molecular weight compounds that are terminated with reactive functional groups. We believe that the information presented not only serves as an excellent introduction to the field, but also is of considerable value to those already working with these systems. 

Stars, combs with three-functional branching points along a locally rigid backbone, and planar surface-brushes can also be considered as assemblies of linear chains tethered to df-dimensional objects [9] (df=0, chains tethered to a point, or stars, df=l, chains tethered to a line, combs, and df=2, chains tethered to a surface, brushes). Excellent introductions and reviews on the molecular properties of these different molecular architectures are contained in [2-4,6-9]. 

The DFT approach (for an excellent introduction, see Parr and Yang 1989) is different and somewhat simpler. The electron density p(r) has been recognized to be a feature that uniquely determines all properties of the electronic ground state (1st Hohenberg-Kohn theorem). Instead of minimizing E with respect to coefficients of the wave function as in HF, E is minimized with respect to the electron density p... 

The following articles in the Current Separations Series are an excellent introduction to the topic of simulation Bott, A. W., Fitting experimental cyclic voltammetry data with theoretical simulations using DigiSim 2.1 , Current Separations, 15, 67-71 (1996) Bott, A. W. and Jackson, B. P., Study of ferri-cyanide by cyclic voltammetry using the CV-50w, Current Separations, 15, 25-30(1996). 

Despite strenuous efforts by this editor to avoid overlap of topics at all stages in the production of the book, it is inevitable in a multi-author text that some topics will be addressed more than once. In general where overlap has been permitted to remain the treatment of the topics is quite distinct, either in depth or approach. For example, both Chapters 2 and 3 deal with crystalline solid electrolytes West provides an excellent introduction to the field and describes the key materials in Chapter 2,... 

The advection—diffusion equation with a source term can be solved by CFD algorithms in general. Patankar provided an excellent introduction to numerical fluid flow and heat transfer. Oran and Boris discussed numerical solutions of diffusion—convection problems with chemical reactions. Since fuel cells feature an aspect ratio of the order of 100, 0(100), the upwind scheme for the flow-field solution is applicable and proves to be very effective. Unstructured meshes are commonly employed in commercial CFD codes. 

While the use of Bayes Theorem in this context is not generally controversial its use more generally in medical and clinical research has not always been positively received." It is not the scope of the present chapter to illustrate the use of Bayesian statistics in a more general context and interested readers should read the excellent introduction to the use of Bayesian methods in health-care evaluation provided by Spiegelhalter et alP... 

As with any modern review of the chemical Hterature, the subject discussed in this chapter touches upon topics that are the focus of related books and articles. For example, there is a well recognized tome on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction that is an excellent introduction to the many varieties of this transformation [1]. More specific reviews involving the use of rhodium(II) in carbonyl ylide cycloadditions [2] and intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions have also appeared [3, 4]. The use of rhodium for the creation and reaction of carbenes as electrophilic species [5, 6], their use in intramolecular carbenoid reactions [7], and the formation of ylides via the reaction with heteroatoms have also been described [8]. Reviews of rhodium(II) ligand-based chemoselectivity [9], rhodium(11)-mediated macrocyclizations [10], and asymmetric rho-dium(II)-carbene transformations [11, 12] detail the multiple aspects of control and applications that make this such a powerful chemical transformation. In addition to these reviews, several books have appeared since around 1998 describing the catalytic reactions of diazo compounds [13], cycloaddition reactions in organic synthesis [14], and synthetic applications of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition [15]. 

Work during the last ten years on photodynamic therapy (PDT) has established the methodology as effective in the early treatment of cancers, and in the treattnent of certain skin disorders and viral infections. Approval by the regulatory authorities for sensitisers in this process began in 1993 when Canada allowed the use of Photofrin (QLT Therapeutics), an action followed later by most countries around the world. Now many other companies have sensitisers at late stage clinical dials (2001), see below in Table 4.5. An excellent introduction to the chemistry of this topic is provided in the book written by Bonnett. ...
