Moore s law The statement that the num-her of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles every two years. 

This statement was fiist made by Gordon Moore (1929- ), the president of Intel, in 1965 and It has remained valid for the first fifty years of the existence of integrated circuits. However, there are various reasons for thinking that this will come to an end in the future. For example, as circuits become smaller, the quantum effects associated with individual atoms and electrons become more significant. 

Moseley s law The frequencies of the lines in the X-ray spectra of the elements are related to the atomic numbers of the elements. If the square roots of the frequencies of corresponding lines of a set of elements are plotted against the atomic numbers a straight line is obtained. The law was discovered by Henry Moseley (1887-1915). 

The effect is exploited in Mossbauer spectroscopy in which a gamma-ray source is mounted on a moving platform and a similar sample is mounted nearby. A detector measures gamma rays scattered by the sample. The source is moved slowly towards the sample at a varying speed, so as to continuously change the frequency of the emitted gamma radiation by the Doppler effect. A sharp decrease in the signal from the detector at a particular speed (i.e. frequency) indl- 

Mumvtal The original trade name for a ferromagnetic alloy, containing 78% nickel, 17% iron, and 5% copper, that had a high permeability and a low coercive force.

A substantial amount of experimental evidence has since been developed that, on balance, supports this prediction. In the following section, we will outline experimental findings, protein by protein, roughly in chronological order. Finally, we will summarize and explore the significance of these Endings. 

Table 2 contains, in reverse chronological order, detailed information about the results of 15 experimental studies of tunneling in enzymic reactions, conducted in the last hve years. These examples will be used to explore the range of evidence, reaction types, enzymes, and concepts currently under study. Other progress made during the preceding decade will be referred to in the discussion of these examples and has been treated in a number of reviews. °... 

That said, Linux is a nifty idea. The theory behind it is to make core operating system code available to anyone who wants it, so that the code can then be explored and enhanced by users. Those who choose to can even create a full Unix-type OS from the Linux source code, modify it as they see fit, and release it to the world as a Linux distribution. Distributions are similar to versions, but where versions are chronological enhancements to a single company s OS, distributions are variations on a single OS theme. For a list of Linux distributions, refer to WWW. 1 inux. org/dist/engl i sh. html. 

A process tracer allows the developer to explore the complete history of a process, organized chronologically and hierarchically according to the decomposition of contexts and with linkage to the objects created. 

The chronology of events that resulted in generalizations 1 -5 will not be presented in detail because this topic is extensively discussed in another account (6). Complex synthetic applications will be included to the extent necessary to illustrate stereochemical issues. Many other interesting examples are explored in a recent review by Maryanoff and Reitz (2j). The emphasis will be on the typical reactions and on the correlation of stereochemical results. Exceptional cases will be discussed where necessary to illustrate the limitations of current mechanistic models. 

EXTENSIONS AND COMMENTARY In general, all subjects who have explored J have accepted it and commented favorably. Perhaps those who have used supplements (in an imitation of the common MDMA procedure) achieved an additional period of effect, but also tended to drop to baseline aftenwards more rapidly. The physical side effects, such as teeth clench and nystagmus, were infrequent. The consensus is that J is a bit more "stoning" than MDMA, more like MDA, but with a chronology that is very much the same. 

To investigate whether there are differences in the results of the learning process, namely in the scientific concepts, historical and chronological data, architectonic and pictorial or spatial vision aspects, consequency of the type of data exploration (sequential or free). 

To date, a number of articles have discussed the use of mass spectrometry (MS) for space applications [1,ISIS]. In this chapter, our objective is to give a comprehensive and up-to-date review of various MS instruments and the complementary GCs that have been employed in the past or ongoing planetary missions. In Section 17.3, we discuss the application of GCs in solar system exploration followed by a chronological introduction to spaceflight mass spectrometers employed in major planetary missions (see the summary in Table 17.1). 

MS provides a powerful capability for in situ exploration of planetary environments. MS can be used to identify the abundances of atomic and molecular species, determine isotopic ratios, and thereby answer many of the fundamental questions regarding the creation and evolutions of the solar system. Here we discuss briefly some of the results from mass spectroscopic instruments on previous and on-going space missions as listed chronologically in Table 17.1.
