Literature engaging with

Finally, as editors we wish to thank all our contributors for their work, for their patience in sometimes waiting interminably for editorial comment, and for their cooperation at all times. We specially wish to record our appreciation of the work of Alec Campbell (1917-1999) Chapter 3 reflects his deep engagement with the chemical literature to the time of his death. We are very grateful to the Open University for travel support, for a most generous use of Inter Library Loans and for funding for several years the considerable costs of the computerized literature survey. To individual members of the Library staff our gratitude is immense. 

The term scientific literature rather than purely chemical literature is used advisedly. The chemist in the dairy industry finds himself engaged with far more than pure chemistry. It is impossible to put exact limits on the dairy chemistry field. As an example, while a dairy chemist is not necessarily also a microbiologist, he is obviously interested in the chemical changes brought about in dairy products by inherent or added microbiological flora. Hence, according to his particular field of interest, he must be prepared to follow pertinent work in microbiology, biochemistry, nutrition, and kindred sciences. 

Approximately 15% of end-of-chapter problems are new, with most based on the recent inorganic literature. To further encourage in-depth engagement with the literature, more problems involving extracting and interpreting information from the literature have been included. The total number of problans is more than 580. 

Despite theoretical relevance, research on using drama in the science classroom is presently sparsely reported in the literature (e.g. Bailey Watson 1998, Budzinsky, 1995). Consequently, the present study set out to investigate the effect of using drama on students conceptions of NOS. The study was guided by the following question What is the influence, if any, of engagement with drama-related activities on students conceptions of the tentative, empirical, and theory-laden NOS ... 

Reactions with nucleophiles are much less documented in the literature. On the basis of what has been discussed above, one can observe that if the C atom of the cumulene is engaged with bonding to a metal in a side-on C,0-coordination mode, then it is less likely to become engaged in the reaction with a second nucleophile. Conversely, if O-end-on forms of coordinated CO2 are considered, then the nucleophilic attack at C should be likely. Any electron-rich species is a potential reagent H , OH , OR, NR3, NR2, RR R"C and so on. In this case too, the question is open as to whether coordinated CO2 is necessary or whether free CO2 may interact with the catalyst activated nucleophile to afford a carboxylate which is then bound to the metal centre.
