In general, these groups of cellulose ethers have been used for their innate adhesive properties and to provide thickening to adhesive formulations. They are used for plywood adhesives, industrial adhesives, wallpaper paste, library paste, and latex adhesives. For example, methylcellulose is used in some adhesives as an additive to control viscosity, especially in the heat-cure phenol-formaldehyde glues and other hot-pressing adhesives. Hydroxyethylcellulose is used as an ingredient in polyvinyl acetate emulsions, where it acts as a thickener and protective colloid. 

Adhesives for Miscellaneous Uses. Starch is also used to prepare children s library paste. A blend of low-soluble white dextrin and unmodified cornstarch is cooked up with glycerine and water to about 55% solids and set back to obtain a firm but smooth texture (6). Cornstarch is also used in the production... 

I wrenched away and headed for the library past Sarah, whose head was down with her face hidden. Mrs. Gill followed me. He died on the last day of the year. He d been ill for some time of a disease that affected his lungs. We buried him two days ago. ... 

Dextrins have many applications, with adhesives being their primary market (11,96). Dextrins are used as adhesives for case and carton sealing. For this application, borax is often added to the dextrin to add stability and increase viscosity. Dextrins are added to adhesives used in the laminating of products such as paperboard and shipping containers. The paper industry adds dextrins in adhesives for tube winding and bag adhesives. Library pastes, bottle label adhesives, envelop adhesives, gummed tape, and wall covering adhesives all benefit fiom dextrin addition. 

Short, soft, nonstringy adhesives formulated from heavy bodied starches or dextrins are called pastes. A typical formulation for library paste is to cook a mixture of 45% low-soluble white dextrin, 5% com starch, 5% glycerol, and 45% water. 

In the category of diluent, nonreactive adhesives, one example is model airplane cement (often cellulose nitrate in a mixture of ketones and aromatic solvents). As a coating we would call it a lacquer. Aqueous solutions of natural and synthetic gums are used in library paste. Some of the popular white glues for paper and wood are simply poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions with a small amount of plasticizer. All of these materials solidify after contacting the surface as a liquid by loss of solvent or diluent. Evaporation or diffusion into a porous substrate may be involved. 

SFC-based methods still need to show their potential, in spite of past great promise. pSFC-APCI-MS is a powerful method for identification of polymer additives, provided that a library of mass spectra of polymer additives using this technique is available. SFC-MS appears less performing than originally announced nevertheless, SFE-SFC-EIMS is an interesting niche approach to additive analysis. On the other hand, we notice the lack of real breakthrough in SFE-SFC-FTIR. 

Over the past months I have begun to systematically collect photocopies of scholarly articles in journals. At present I have nearly 686 items and now need people in other countries with access to good libraries to make photocopies of articles for this collection. Anyone with ready access to a major library with good collections of journals who is willing to help with this project please get in touch with me directly and I will try to sort out what needs to be done. Although I have access to many of the journals here in Glasgow there are many that will only be available in the USA or in Germany, France, or other continental European countries"... 

As well as purely factual data and production rules, the knowledge base may contain a section devoted to case-based information. This is a library of specific examples that in the past have proved informative and that relate to the area in which the system has expertise. 

The aim of case-based reasoning is to provide advice based on a set of known examples that are judged to be relevant to the user s query. Files within the library contain data about past cases relevant to the area of expertise, how they were tackled, what the results of this approach were, and whether the action taken was appropriate and successful. Each case is tagged with a set of attributes that describe the case, so that when the library is searched for relevant material, it can quickly be identified through some form of similarity metric. 

If a case is found that matches the user s query closely, this is used to provide appropriate advice. If, on the other hand, there is no case that matches the problem presented by the user sufficiently closely, the system can try to modify a case that is present in the library to bring it into line with the user s query in what is known as structural adaptation, or it may be able to create a new solution using as a starting point a similar case from the past (derivational adaptation). 

During the past five years, commencing with the publications of Lipinski and co-workers [1] and Palm and co-workers [2], a considerable amount of research has been performed in order to develop mathematical models for intestinal absorption in humans as well as other transport properties. The purpose of these investigations has been to develop computationally fast and accurate models for in silico electronic screening of large virtual compound libraries.
