Gray literature

This comprises original publications in scientific journals or serials proceedings, in which the latest information and data are published for the first time. Primary literature includes dissertations and theses, journals, patents, conference proceedings, research reports, and preprints the latter three are often called gray literature).

In cooperation with national/international institutions, FIZ Karlsruhe produces databases in the areas of physics, energy, nuclear research, mathematics, and computer science, as well as reference databases for conferences, gray literature, research reports, and more. Moreover, it attends to databases of other suppliers and producers FIZ Karlsruhe operates the European Centre of STN International, offering worldwide access to about 200 databases in all fields of science and technology (see STN International The Scientific and Technical Information Network. ... 

Deposited documents, a type of Gray Literature, can be published in one of two ways ... 

The discriminatory emission properties between two-coordinate d ° gold(I) complexes and their respective three-coordinate counterparts have been demonstrated in the literature [6, 10-13]. As discussed in the later sections, Che and coworkers have rationalized that the extraordinarily large Stokes shift of the visible emission of [Au2(diphosphine)2] from the [5da 6pa] transition is due to the exciplex formation ofthe excited state with solvent or counterions [6]. Fackler [14—16] reported the photophysical properties of monomeric [AUL3] complexes, which show visible luminescence with large Stokes shifts (typically lOOOOcm ), suggesting significant excited-state distortion. Gray et al. [10] examined the spectroscopic properties of... 

The mechanistic classification generally accepted for ligand substitution reactions was proposed by Langford and Gray in 1965 (19). This classification was often discussed in the literature and its principles are only summarized here for convenience. 

The literature on liquid crystals and LCDs is simply vast. A good start is Thermotropic Liquid Crystals, by George Gray, Wiley, Chichester, 1987. Gray was one of the principal pioneers in the early days of liquid crystals. 

The processes in an oil refinery are very complex and a complete description would exceed the volume of the present chapter. Here we will focus on the main processes involving zeolite catalysts. These processes are indicated by gray boxes in Figure 4.12. One should be aware of the fact that the scheme shown in Figure 4.12 is oversimplified for clarity. Mary processes being essential in a petrol plant setup are omitted for simplicity. More comprehensive information can be found in the literature given in the appendix. 

Absorbed dose Mean value of energy of the ionizing radiation absorbed by the unit of mass of the processed material. The unit of absorbed dose is 1 Gray (Gy) = 1 J kg or 1 kGy = ljg. The older unit, used officially until 1986 and still used occasionally in literature, is 1 megarad (Mrad), which is equivalent to 10 kGy.
