Favorite novel

Similarly, say you decide to write about your favorite novel. Should you assume your readers have read the novel If they have, should you assume that they read it recently enough to remember its characters, plot, and themes Unless you know for sure, or unless your assignment specifically mentions an assumption ( assume your readers have read The Great Gatsby carefully ), you must provide sufficient background information for your readers. You ll need to briefly summarize the plot and provide context for the specific scenes and issues you d like to discuss. 

TJ refers to Laurence Sterne s Tristram Shandy, one of his favorite novels, and its author s penchant for freely associating words and ideas. - Eds. 

Recently, a nice bee named Quirks submitted an article from our new, favorite patron researcher Rajender S. Varma. This time the good doctor is tackling our azide problem with another novel use of his clay phase transfer catalyst system. This is just going to be... 

For decades, there have been many popular science books and science-fiction novels on the subject of the fourth dimension. My favorite science book on the subject is Rudy Rucker s The Fourth Dimension, which covers an array of topics on space and time. My favorite science-fiction story is Robert Hein-lein s — And He Built a Crooked House, first published in 1940. It tells the tale of a California architect who constructs a four-dimensional house. He explains that a four-dimensional house would have certain advantages ... 

To develop our novel micro-meteorological instruments, we used a large cow-pasture east of Pasadena, which gently sloped up toward the San Gabriel mountains. We had a favorite demonstration of katabatic wind. We had a pole with eight wind vanes spaced about every half meter apart. In the afternoon, the sea breeze caused all the wind vanes to point toward the Pacific Ocean. As sunset approached, first the lowest wind vane on our pole turned and pointed toward the mountain as a shallow current of cold air flowed downhill. Somewhat later the second vane turned, then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and finally the eighth turned as the katabatic wind built up to be a deep gentle flow of cold air. Before sunset, we could almost tell the time of day by how many wind vanes pointed uphill. 

In each case, the property is related to a fundamental feature of the chemistry and/or physics of the class of conducting polymers. This list is certainly not exhaustive it is intended to be illustrative only. The reader can readily add a number of other personal favorites to a more complete list of novel properties. 

Males infrequently exhibit flehmen in response to anestrous urine of cows. Some variation is observed between bulls, and the particular cow from which urine is obtained can affect the response. Female urine carries chemical signals not only concerning the estrous state but also for other factors. The bulls at WPZ have favorite and/or disliked cows. They utilize touch, sight, sound, and the chemosensory system to recognize individual cows. A new" cow created by mixing urine from two different cows in anes-trus elicited three flehmen responses, probably a response to a novel mixture. 

One of Bond s (and his author s) favorite cocktails. He drinks it in Fleming s novels Live and Let Die, Thunderball, and Diamonds Are Forever, and anticipates it in the short story 007 in New York. It s supposed to be about 6/7 London dry gin and 1/7 vermouth (possibly Italian, possibily Martini, but Bond drinks it also with American-made vermouth), with olives or a lemon twist (my personal suggestion). 

In terms of biodiesel conversion processes, chemical conversion using alkali and acid-based catalysts is stiU the most favorite approach. Various investigations have been carried out to develop novel catalysts and/or novel processes for efficient conversion of TAG to FAME. This part was reviewed in the chapter Production of biodiesel via catalytic upgrading refining of sustainable oleageneous feedstocks. The chapter Biochemical catalytic production of biodiesel introduced a promising alternative way of biodiesel production via enzyme-catalyzed processes. Recentiy, microalgae...
