Afterglow Kinetics.—Introduction, Combination of atoms in their ground electronic states can lead to the formation of the corresponding diatomic molecule in an electronically excited state. Radiative transitions to a lower-lying state may then lead to chemiluminescent ranission, known as an after ow. Examples include the combination of two nitrogen atoms, a nitrogen atom with an oxygen atom, and two chlorine or bromine atoms ... 

Abstract A ort general introduction combined with some historical milestones in the field of olefin metathesis is presented followed by an overview of recent representatives of metal carbene initiators. This paper attempts to relief the many supeib contributions and overwhehning woik invested in intelligent design and innovative synthesis in this area. Despites of recent advances there is still a great interest in the generation of new, better performing, and more environment fiiendly metathesis. 

However, in recent years the trend has been turning towards developing much smaller fields, making use of the existing field infrastructure. This, in combination with advances in subsea completion technology and the introduction of new production equipment has further stimulated the application of subsea technology. 

Introduce 197 g. of anhydrous brucine or 215 g. of the air-dried dihydrate (4) into a warm solution of 139 g. of dZ-acc.-octyl hj drogen phthalate in 300 ml. of acetone and warm the mixture vmder reflux on a water bath until the solution is clear. Upon cooling, the brucine salt (dA, IB) separates as a crystalline solid. Filter this off on a sintered glass funnel, press it well to remove mother liquor, and wash it in the funnel with 125 ml. of acetone. Set the combined filtrate and washings (W) aside. Cover the crystals with acetone and add, slowly and with stirriug, a slight excess (to Congo red) of dilute hydrochloric acid (1 1 by volume about 60 ml.) if the solution becomes turbid before the introduction of... 

Since the 1960s, the quaUty of M-ferrite manufactured has improved continuously, while the price has decreased considerably. Decisive progress in quahty was obtained by the appHcation of sinter additives (90), the introduction of pressing in a magnetic field (23), and the use of Sr instead of Ba, in combination with a sophisticated appHcation of Si02 (91,92). Important contributions to price reduction came from the development of fast multiple-die... 

THPOH—Ammonia—Tris Finish. By far the most effective finish for polyester—cotton textiles was a system based on the THPOH—NH treatment of the cotton component either foUowed or preceded by the appUcation of Tris finish to the polyester component. This combined treatment appeared to be effective on almost any polyester—cotton blend. A large amount of fabric treated in this way was sold throughout the United States and much of the rest of the world. Shortly after the introduction of Tris finishing, Tris was found to be a carcinogen. Most of the Tris treated production was in children s sleepwear, and this created a situation in which almost aU chemical fire-retardant-treated textiles were unfairly condemned as dangerous. Manufacturers mshed to replace chemically treated textiles with products produced from inherently flame-resistant fibers. Nowhere was the impact more severe than in the children s sleepwear market. New, safer materials have been introduced to replace Tris. Thus far none has been as completely effective. 

Copolymeis of ethylene [74-85-1] and tetiafluoioethylene [116-14-3] (ETFE) have been alaboiatory curiosity for more than 40 years. These polymers were studied in connection with a search for a melt-fabricable PTFE resin (1 5) interest in them fell with the discovery of TFE—HFP (FEP) copolymers (6). In the 1960s, however, it became evident that a melt-fabricable fluorocarbon resin was needed with higher strength and stiffness than those of PTFE resins. Earlier studies indicated that TFE—ethylene copolymers [11939-51 -6] might have the right combination of properties. Subsequent research efforts (7) led to the introduction of modified ethylene—tetrafluoroethylene polymer [25038-71-5] (Tefzel) by E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc, in 1970. 

Within the scope of the original definition, a very wide variety of ionomers can be obtained by the introduction of acidic groups at molar concentrations below 10% into the important addition polymer families, followed by partial neutralization with metal cations or amines. Extensive studies have been reported, and useful reviews of the polymers have appeared (3—8). Despite the broad scope of the field and the unusual property combinations obtainable, commercial exploitation has been confined mainly to the original family based on ethylene copolymers. The reasons for this situation have been discussed (9). Within certain industries, such as flexible packaging, the word ionomer is understood to mean a copolymer of ethylene with methacrylic or acryhc acid, partly neutralized with sodium or zinc. 

Amino resins are thermosetting polymers made by combining an aldehyde with a compound containing an amino (—NH2) group. Urea—formaldehyde (U/F) accounts for over 80% of amino resins melamine—formaldehyde accounts for most of the rest. Other aldehydes and other amino compounds are used to a very minor extent. The first commercially important amino resin appeared about 1930, or some 20 years after the introduction of phenol—formaldehyde resins and plastics (see Phenolic resins). 

The sulfa dmgs are stiH important as antimicrobials, although they have been replaced in many systemic infections by the natural and semisynthetic antibiotics. They are of great value in third world countries where problems of storage and lack of medical personnel make appropriate use of antibiotics difficult. They are especially useful in urinary tract infections, particularly the combination of sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim. Their effectiveness has been enhanced by co-adniinistration with dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors, and the combination of sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim is of value in treatment of a number of specific microbial infections. The introduction of this combination (cotrimoxazole) in the late 1960s (1973 in the United States) resulted in increased use of sulfonamides.
