Before structural work can begin, pure substances must be separated from the complex mixtures in which they occur in cells and tissues.413-24 Often, a substance must be isolated from a tissue in which it is present in a very low concentration. After it is isolated in pure form, if it is a large molecule, it must often be cut up into smaller pieces which are separated, purified, and identified. Accurate quantitative analysis is required to determine the ratios of these fragments. Considerable ingenuity may then have to be exercised in putting the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle back together to determine the structure of the "native" molecule. Many books, a few of which are cited here,413-23 25-45 provide instructions. There are also journals and other periodicals dedicated to biochemical methods.45 53... 

Staff members monitor more than 12,000 scientific journals and other periodicals from more than 150 nations, patents issued by 26 nations and two international bodies, and conference proceedings, reports, dissertations, and books from around the world in search of new information of chemical interest. 

WOMBAT [39] is a Cabinet database that provides information about biological activity of small molecules [40]. The dataset comes from publications in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and other periodicals. WOMBAT is updated twice a year. The data consist of series of compounds that were observed and compared for a specific activity, for example, Ki, IC50, D2 and EC50. The database also includes calculated LogP and Log S values, as well as other descriptors related to flexibility, size, and so on. 

Many standard analytical methods have been published as papers in analytical journals and other scientific Uterature, and in textbook form. Collections by trades associations representing, for example, the cosmetics, food, iron and steel, pharmaceutical, polymer plastics and paint, and water industries are available. Standards organizations and statutory authorities, instrument manufacturers applications notes, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the US Environmental Protection Agency are also valuable sources of standard methods. Often, laboratories will develop their own in-house methods or adapt existing ones for specific purposes. Method development forms a significant part of the work of most analytical laboratories, and method validation and periodic revalidation is a necessity.

The report gives eonsideration to the eontribution of the seientists from Russia to the development of XRF analysis in the period from 1999 to nowadays. The state of XRF in the earlier period was diseussed in the reviews. Presented in detail are only the most important advanees eonneeted to the speeial features of XRF method. The reviews and the monographs, published in this period, the Conferenees on XRF problems, held in Russia, the defended dissertations are separately diseussed (-380 papers, 5 monographs and 17 dissertations). The statistieal analysis of the publieations on XRF is presented (the distribution in the Russian and foreign journals and in the towns Moseow, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, St. Petersburg and others). 

This was the period during which Deville, Berthelot, Moissan, and other leading French chemists had persisted in the use of an outmoded chemical notation abandoned elsewhere. 16 By 1870 or so, the equivalent notation had disappeared in chemical journals outside France. French atomists sometimes used the tactics of the Sorbonne organic chemist Friedel, who wrote acetylene dichloride as C2H2C12 for the Berichte of the Berlin Chemical Society but C4H2C12 for the Comptes rendus of the Paris Academy of Sciences. 17... 

A majority of the electron diffraction structural papers appear in a handful of journals including Acta Chem. Scand. (A). Acta Chim. (Budapest), Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan, Dokl. Akad. Nauk S.S.S.R., Inorg. Chem., J. Am. Chem. Soc., J. Chem. Phys., J.C.S. Dalton Trans., J. MoL Struct, Trans. Faraday Soc., Vestn. Mosk. Univ. Khim., Z. Naturforsch. (a), Zh. Strukt. Khim. Reviews on structural studies comprising a certain period of time (Spec. Periodic Reports) or a class of compounds or the activity of a laboratory (e. g., Kfim. Kozlem.) and others appear. A systematic collection of the electron diffraction literature along with all other gas-phase molecular structure information is carried out in the Sektion flir Strukturdokumentation of the University of Ulm. 

Following the above lists, the journals, books, and other reference sources most frequently used are given, together with our abbreviations for them (See pp Abbr 66-76), Journal abbreviations, not included in our list, are the same as given in the "List of Periodicals Abstracted by Chemical Abstracts, Ohio University, Columbus 10, Ohio (1956), except that we do not use periods and leave no space between abbreviated words. Although the French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese books and journals do not capitalize the words in titles (except the first word) we use captials, as is the practice in abbreviating US and British journals... 

All reference works used (reports, periodicals, journals books) were made available to the authors thru the cooperation of PA Scientific Technical Information Branch personnel, Mr M. A. Costello, Chief. Mr John P. Noonan, Chief of the Technical Publications Section,and other personnel of the Section reviewed the manuscript in draft, checked the galley sheets, and reviewed the final copy... 

Total US production of paper in 2005 was 37.6 million metric tons, and production of paperboard was 45.7 million tons at operating rates of 92% and 97% respectively. Production data and projections are analyzed by RISI,1 and periodic updates on industry issues, grade profiles and production statistics are published in Pulp and Paper, Paper Age, Pulp and Paper International and other trade journals. The US paper industry reuses more than 51% of the product it produces with an ultimate goal of 55%.2... 

This publication is a trade journal that conducts several survey series addressing pharmacist salaries and other topics. The journal has been able to track the recent rise in pharmacist salaries. Figure 25.7 describes a 19.6% rise in chain pharmacy salaries between 1999 and 2001 and a 21.8% rise in hospital pharmacy salaries over the same period. While chain pharmacy...
