Multinuclear NMR spectroscopy is a very informative and reliable method for the identification and study of betaines of types I and II in solutions. The main NMR parameters of these compounds are presented in Table IV. The data for some of their carbon analogs 17 are presented for comparison. 

To derive an MRL, ATSDR generally selects the most sensitive endpoint which, in its best judgement, represents the most sensitive human health effect for a given exposure route and duration. ATSDR cannot make this judgement or derive an MRL unless information (quantitative or qualitative) is available for all potential systemic, neurological, and developmental effects. If this information and reliable quantitative data... 

In the beginning, before there is analysis, there must be accurate description. How much cancer is there, and how do rates of occurrence vary geographically, and between sexes, and with age How do rates of different types of cancer vary over time, and what happens to the rates that occur in specific groups of people when they move from one geographic location to another Information describing these types of differences and trends - which can be compiled with accuracy only when cancer registry information is reliable - are enormously beneficial in providing clues to the causes of cancer. The statistical data presented in Chapter 5 arose from these types of studies. 

The techniques of monomolecular rate theory easily transform measured reaction data into a form where we can analyze apparent kinetics and the effects of intracrystalline diffusion by the use of selectivity data. Time dependency has been eliminated. Since selectivity is extremely reproducible and is independent of short-term aging effects, the number of experimental runs is reduced while data reliability is maintained. For catalyst evaluation at any temperature, it is necessary to determine the equilibrium composition and the straight-line reaction path. With this information any catalyst can be evaluated at this temperature with simply the additional information from a curved-line reaction path. The approach used in the application of monomolecular rate theory to the xylene isomerization selectivity kinetics is as follows. Reference is made to the composition diagram, Figure 1. 

The present study showed that substantial information can be gained from the investigation of diffusion couples which otherwise would be difficult to obtain with bulk-sample methods. This information includes reliable homogeneity and stability ranges of phases as well as data for the nonmetal diffusivities.
