In order to facilitate elicitation of attributes, the initial FP procedure (Dairou and Sieffermann, 2002 Delarue and Sieffermann, 2004a) included a preliminary session during which the panellists were asked to individually generate descriptive terms based on a first assessment of the whole product set. In the same objective, it was also possible to provide help in the form of pre-existing lists of attributes from the literature or from previous studies. These lists might indeed help the subjects to put words on their sensations. 

Power changes are based on kVAR demand thus, the lower the power factor, the higher the demand charge. See Plankenhom, Valoda, and Lazar for a helpful discussion of this subject. 

In this chapter the major emphasis is on the mechanistic aspects of dediazoniations because they are the basis for understanding the relative instability of diazo and diazonium compounds, and because a knowledge of these is helpful for optimizing synthetic applications of such compounds. Syntheses based on dediazoniation of arenediazonium salts are the subject of Chapter 10. 

Siik is just one exampie of macromoiecuies, aiso known as poiymers. Macromoiecuies are the subject of this chapter. The principies introduced in Chapters 9-11 help to explain the properties of these molecules, many of which are carbon-based. In this chapter, we outline the principles of the stmcture and synthesis of the major classes of macromoiecuies and describe the properties that give these chemical substances central roles in industrial chemistry and biochemistry. We describe the components from which macromoiecuies are constmcted, some important industrial polymers, and the macromoiecuies found in living systems. 

It is obviously impossible to classify chemical reactions in a completely logical manner, and the editors have in general based their classification on types of chemical element, compound or reaction rather than on mechanisms, since views on the latter are subject to change. Some duplication is inevitable, but it is felt that this can be a help rather than a hindrance. 

Much of the material presented in this book is based on the direct experience of the authors. This would not have been possible without the hard work and input of our colleagues, students and post-doctoral fellows. We sincerely want to acknowledge each of them for their good research and contributions without which we would not have been able to treat such a broad range of subjects. Some of them read chapters or helped in other ways. We also owe thanks to the chemometrics community and at the same time we have to offer apologies. We have had the opportunity of collaborating with many colleagues and we have profited from the research and publications of many others. Their ideas and work have made this book possible and necessary. The size of the book shows that they have been very productive. Even so, we have cited only a fraction of the literature and we have not included the more sophisticated work. Our wish was to consolidate and therefore to explain those methods that have become more or less accepted, also to... 

Carbonyl reactions are extremely important in chemistry and biochemistry, yet they are often given short shrift in textbooks on physical organic chemistry, partly because the subject was historically developed by the study of nucleophilic substitution at saturated carbon, and partly because carbonyl reactions are often more difhcult to study. They are generally reversible under usual conditions and involve complicated multistep mechanisms and general acid/base catalysis. In thinking about carbonyl reactions, 1 find it helpful to consider the carbonyl group as a (very) stabilized carbenium ion, with an O substituent. Then one can immediately draw on everything one has learned about carbenium ion reactivity and see that the reactivity order for carbonyl compounds ... 

The chemistry, metabolism, and clinical importance of folic acid have been the subject of many excellent reviews (A7, Gil, H14, H20, Rl). Folic acid deficiency leads to a macrocytic anemia and leucopenia. These symptoms are due to inadequate synthesis of nucleic acid. The synthesis of purine bases and of thymine, required for nucleic acid synthesis, is impaired in folic acid deficiency. Detection of folic acid activity in biologic fluids and tissues is of the utmost importance it distinguishes between the various anemias, e.g., those due to vitamin Bi2 or folic acid deficiency. Because morphology of the abnormal red cell does not help in diagnosing vitamin deficiency, one must rely on assay methods for differential diagnosis. Treatment of pernicious anemia with folic acid has led to subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord despite... 

The content of The Forces Between Molecules, by Maurice Rigby, E. Brian Smith, William A. Wakeham and Geoffrey C. Maitland, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1986, is more explicitly about interactions than formal bonds. Again, it will be a fairly austere and mathematical read. In the Oxford Primer series, try Energy Levels in Atoms and Molecules by W. G. Richards and P. R. Scott, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1994. It s easier than the two books above, and again helps provide some of the background material to the subject. It is still mathematically based. 

The next passages are based on philosophy and literature. You don t have to be an expert in either subject to answer the questions correctly. All the information that you need is in the passage. Look for the main idea, words in context, and the topic sentence to help you understand the basic information. Then use your ability to make inferences based on the facts in the passage. Using all the available information in the passage will help you identify ideas not expliddy stated in the text. 

To comply with environmental legislation, coatings formulators have reformulated to water-based systems, which has wide-ranging effects on the properties of their products. Reformulating with non-hazardous air pollutants solvents such as propylene-oxide-based glycol ethers helps reduce VOC content, and is the subject of this detailed paper. 6 refs. 

Since the basic or carbanion intermediate can continue to go to product by Steps 2 and 3, we have a chain reaction which is consistent with the rapid isomerizations which may be obtained using these catalysts. This mechanistic interpretation was proposed in one of the first papers published on this subject (5) it and similar interpretations have been very helpful in bringing about an understanding of base-catalyzed reactions. The chain-reaction sequence may be terminated by reaction with a formation of a material which is not basic enough to metallate the olefin. Such compounds may be polyunsaturated hydrocarbons which may be formed by elimination of hydride ions from a carbanion. 

The dehydration reactions initiated by eliminating a hydroxyl group from an enediol are discussed in the present article. The products (usually dicarbonyl compounds) of these eliminations are normally transient intermediates, and undergo further reaction. The final products formed are determined by the carbohydrate reacting, the conditions of reaction, and the character of the medium. Except for a Section on analytical methods (see p. 218), the subject matter is restricted to aqueous acids and bases. The presence of compounds other than the carbohydrate under study has only been considered where it has helped to elucidate the mechanism involved. The approach here is critical and interpretative, with emphasis on mechanism. An attempt has been made to demonstrate how similar reactions can logically lead to the various products from different carbohydrates a number of speculative mechanisms are proposed. It is hoped that this treatment will emphasize the broad functions of these reactions, an importance that is not fully recognized. No claim is made for a complete coverage of the literature instead, discussion of results in the articles that best illustrate the principles involved has been included.
