A micelle-bound substrate will experience a reaction environment different from bulk water, leading to a kinetic medium effect. Hence, micelles are able to catalyse or inhibit organic reactions. Research on micellar catalysis has focused on the kinetics of the organic reactions involved. An overview of the multitude of transformations that have been studied in micellar media is beyond the scope of this chapter. Instead, the reader is referred to an extensive set of review articles and monographs" ... 

In the following section an overview, of several models describing the charge carrier injection and transport of LEDs based on polymers and organic materials, is presented. The focus will be set on mctal/polymer (organic material)/nictal contacts based on a polymer with a low defect concentration will be discussed. A description of LEDs, based on iolymers with a high defect concentration e-m U>... 

E.H. Hurst s overview introduced several themes pursued by other chemical industry speakers. The Dow Chemical Company s E.H. Blair analyzed the problem of setting priorities for testing the 55,000 existing chemicals listed in the TSCA inventory for their effects on health and the environment. Resources for such testing are not unlimited. A systematic classification was made of these substances by production volume. The 9.5% of these substances which account for 99.9% of reported production were divided further into categories such as organic, inorganic, and polymeric.

The present section is an overview of the varied involvement of peroxides in natural phenomena, ranging from atmospheric chemistry to important physiological systems in all living organisms, and the functions fulfilled by these compounds in industry. All this requires adequate analytical methods to identify, determine and characterize peroxides. This section should not be considered as a comprehensive review on natural and industrially relevant peroxides, but rather as a structured set of examples related to analytical methods described in the sequel. 

When thinking about the workshop organizer s request to give an industrial overview and to cover the trends in innovation—barriers, key success factors, and the like—I came to several conclusions. First, I wanted to help set the stage for the talks and discussions later today and tomorrow, while at the same time I wanted to be complimentary to the following talks without needless duplication. 

PCA [ 12-19] can be used to obtain an overview of a set of data organized in a table X with n rows (subjects) and p columns (variables). By means of PCA, most of the variation in X is summarized in a few principal components (Figure 6.5). More specifically, the first PC is the main axis of the shape of the data scatter. Hence, the first PC explains the largest part of the variance in X. if X contains similar objects, PCA can be used to formulate a model of the... 

The introductory section provides a broad phylogenic overview of marine organic chemistry. With its emphasis on evolutionary, ecological, and biosynthetic considerations, it sets a foundation for the chapters that follow. The second section takes an... 

In Table 10.3, the overview is organized according to the generalized tiers, and thereafter to the subjects of extrapolation, so that one can select conceptually consistent sets of extrapolation methods (e.g., for matrix and media extrapolation and mixture extrapolation).
