All tritium measurements were performed using a 1220 liquid scintillation counter (Wallac Quantulus ). 8ml of aqueous sample were mixed with 12ml Gold Star (Meridian) scintillation cocktail in a 22ml polythene vial. The counter was routinely calibrated for using a traceable tritiated water standard. In this paper, all uncertainties are quoted at the 90% confidence level except for RO water. 

These historic seaports are now the homes of the US Coast Guard Academy and the US Navy Submarine Base. Both have an informational visitor s center. For dining in the area, Wokery (507 Gold Star Hwy., 860-448-3336) has healthy Chinese. 

The structures with two R carbons and two S carbons (J, N, and O) have special symmetry. J is a meso structure it has chirality centers and is superimposable on its mirror image—see Problem 5-20(h). N and O are enantiomers, and are diastereomers of all of the other structures. Give yourself a gold star if you got this correct ... 

If you solved this problem, put a gold star on your forehead. 

FIGURE 8.14 Illustration of Pareto optimal compounds for two-dimensional optimization of potency (pICj ) and permeability (MDCK P ). Each point represents the potency and permeability of a compound. The ideal compound would have both high potency and permeability as represented by the gold star. The red points, for example the point labeled X, are Pareto optimal, that is, there are no compounds better in both properties. The point labeled Y is not Pareto optimal, the point discussed earlier and to the right is better in both properties. The Pareto optimal compounds define the Pareto front, shown by the red line.

Positive reinforcement is also an effective way to get people to take precautions. A quarter (or a gold star, or just an ... 

Of course we get desensitized to rewards the same way we do to fear. The time will come when quarters and gold stars fail to motivate your granddaughter, though hopefully your approval will still mean something.
