The concept biorefinery is discussed in the US National Research Council Report Biobased Industrial Products [4] and by Lynd et al. [7] in much detail. The basic idea is the processing of multiple renewable resources and the production of multiple products in a production complex. Another characteristic of biorefinery is the integration of thermal, chemical, biological and/or cataly-tical processes for an efficient and optimal processing and utilization of the raw materials. Technological, ecological and economic analysis and system design should be implemented to ensure an overall optimization of raw material conversion and product formation in a similar way as for oil refineries. 

As a result of these widespread implications, understanding their direct sources, their formation from chemical reactions in air, their fates, and how their physical and chemical properties determine health and visibility impacts is critical. While many of the overall chemical and physical characteristics of particles have been elucidated, as we shall see in this chapter, there remain large gaps in our knowledge in areas central to policy and regulatory issues (National Research Council, 1998). As a result, this is a particularly active and rapidly evolving area of research in atmospheric chemistry.

With regard to research on suppression of PC decomposition, in 1993, Shu et al. from the National Research Council of Canada reported that by adding large quantities (0.5 M) of 12-crown-4 ether (2), the formation of complexes of 12-crown-4 ether with Li occurs preferentially to the solvation of Li in PC, which allows for intercalation by suppressing co-intercalation into the graphite layer [44]. 

E. D. GODDARD received his B.S. (1945) and M.S. (1948) degrees from Rhodes University, South Africa, and his Ph.D. (1951) in physical chemistry from Cambridge University. From 1951-54 at Unilever, he worked on problems related to synthetic detergents. As Post-Doctorate Fellow at the National Research Council, Ottawa, (1954-56) he studied the energetics of micelle formation of surfactants. From 1956-59 he was a research chemist at Canadian Industries Limited, working in the field of synthetic fibers. From 1960-73 he was manager of the Physics and Physical Chemistry Research section at Lever Brothers Company,...

The growing importance of catalysis was reflected in the formation of the Committee on Contact Catalysis in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the National Research Council in 1922 (21). The committee, chaired by Cornell physical chemist Wilder Bancroft, published periodic review articles although some of the early ones mainly summarized the theories of the author. In the Fifth Report (1927), Emmett Reid of Johns Hopkins criticized the previous reviewer, Taylor, for giving his own theories instead of surveying the literature (22). The author of the Eighth Report (1930), J. C. W. Frazer, pointed out that Taylor s theory had been anticipated by Fusineri in 1825 (23). 

Following the NAS recommendation for disposal of long-lived radioactive wastes in geologic formations (NAS-National Research Council, 1957), the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) sponsored several years of research (1957-1961) at the Oak Ridge... 

The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the National Research Council (NRC) recommended daily allowances of niacin are given in the section on VITAMIN(S), Table V-5, Vitamin Table, Niacin. Allowances for niacin are commonly related (1) to energy expenditure, based the essential role of niacin in energy formation— the involvement of the coenzymes NAD and NADP in the functions of respiratory enzymes and (2) to protein intake, because (a) a diet that fur-... 

Numerous publications have been devoted to reflectivity, especially in the visible. Although it is now quite old, this work deserves mention E. L. Krinov (Laboratory of aeronautical methods, U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences), Spectral Reflectance Properties of Natural Formations, National Research Council of Canada, Technical Translation TT-439 (translated by G. Belkov), Ottawa, 1953.
