A thorough review article that examines the reaction mechanism involved when protein reacts with the Lowry reagent. An extensive list of possibly interfering substances is presented along with methods of coping with those interfering substances. Finally, the method of Lowry is compared to other methods. There is an extensive list of references. 

You may have problems with the volume of information that has to be organized. One method of coping with this is to divide your thesis into chapters, each having the standard format (as in Box 52.1). A general introduction can be given at the start and a general discussion at the end. Discuss this option with your supervisor as it is not universally favoured. 

However, a noncubic crystal may have such low symmetry and/or be so oriented that the Laue pattern shows only one spot, or none at all, from a low-index plane. Plane indexing can then be difficult. Methods of coping with this problem include the following ... 

This should be discussed with the client before starting the medication, and methods of coping with hair loss should be explored. This comment would not warrant intervention by the nurse. 

Analytical Methods Committee. 2001. Robust Statistics A Method of Coping with Outliers, Royal Society of Chemistry, Cambridge. (One of a series of technical briefs which can be downloaded from www.rsc.org. The same site provides a Minitab implementation of the Huber algorithm that can be freely downloaded.)... 

The staff described the proposed PRDC program to resolve the hazard problems as outlined in its amended application. Included were a study of the EBR-I core, simulator and oscillator experiments for clarification of the behavior of fast reactors, further tests on the Doppler effect, and theoretical studies on the magnitude of meltdown accidents together with methods of coping with them if they occurred. In short, the PRDC now planned to perform many of the tests recommended by the Safeguards Committee. ... 

There are ways of coping with these interferences. Pulse-height selection (2.13) is a direct method. As we shall see in Chapter 7, a particularly bad case, the determination of tungsten in aqueous solution with scattered target line and the identical line from the sample superimposed, could be handled successfully by properly correcting the background. 

As a continuation to the studies by Darwish and Braverman on the [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic sulfinates to sulfones, and in view of its remarkable facility and stereospecificity (see Chapter 13), Braverman and Stabinsky investigated the predictable analogous rearrangement of allylic sulfenates to sulfoxides, namely the reverse rearrangement of that attempted by Cope and coworkers . These authors initiated their studies by the preparation of the claimed allyl trichloromethanesulfenate using the method of Sosnovsky . This method involves the reaction between trichloro-methanesulfenyl chloride and allyl alcohol in ether at 0 °C, in the presence of pyridine (equation 6). 

It is clear that many of the chemical metallurgy processes must be carried out at high temperatures. In this respect, it is necessary to be acquainted not only with the process reactors but also with the methods of heat generation and with the refractories that are needed in the reactors to cope up with the high temperatures attained. 

The application of ever improving analytical methods will continue to reveal new flavouring compounds, be they natural, nature identical or synthetic. Not only are ever more sophisticated analytical techniques available but also improved methods of data analysis. The new science of chemometrics has developed to cope with the situation where chromatograms with hundreds of compounds are obtained. 

A thorough analysis of value chains and the development of alternative value chains starting from biomass derived feedstocks, including assessment of the economic viability of the transformation of the chains, is required. This should be followed by the identification of easy entry points for the implementation of novel value chains. Technical key issues are generic methods to cope with the variability of raw materials derived from biomass and higher susceptibility to contamination by microorganisms and suitable catalysts for biorefineries. 

This is not a restatement of the old observation that science is influenced diffusely and subtly by the prevailing value system of societv(22). It is to say that value-laden judgments are specific, readily identifiable and necessary parts of the cyclic sequence of activities that make up the scientific research method. Such judgments are the scientists means of coping with experimental uncertainty, i.e., the decision rules for testing statistical hypotheses (g.). ... 

Since compound 5 is the monoacetal of a dissonant 1,6-dicarbonyl system it could be synthesised by an oxy-Cope rearrangement according to the method of Evans which we have discussed in Chapter 5 (see Heading 5.3 on page 136). 

The extraction of kinetic parameters from in-line UV-vis spectroscopy may suffer from three sources of error namely, instrumental noise, error in determining initial concentrations, and error in the calibration of pure standards, as is pointed out by Carvalho et al. These authors have studied the influence of these errors on the determined rate constants for a simulated second-order reaction and compared twelve methods to cope with the errors in five groups. They And significant differences in accuracy and precision. 

A more in-depth discussion of reference pricing lies beyond the compass of this essay (in this regard, see Kanavos and Reinhardt 2003). Suffice it to say, it is a powerful method of introducing market power on the demand side of prescription drugs covered by health insurance, and one likely to be embraced, sooner or later, by private health insurers, as they seek to cope with the ever-rising cost of health care.
