Ownership of the copyright in a work is distinct from ownership of the material object, ie, the copy or phonorecord, in which the copyrighted work is embodied. The transfer of one does not constitute transfer of the other. Eor example, if a painter sells his or her painting, ie, the material object, such as canvas and oils, the painter does not automatically transfer the copyright in it sale of that copyright, so as to allow reproduction of the oil painting in printed posters, does not transfer the material object. 

Adding compounds solubilized in DMSO to aqueous medium as part of a discovery solubility assay can lead to two types of solubility assay with different uses. At one extreme, the quantity of DMSO is kept very low (<1%). At this low level of DMSO, the solubility is only slightly affected by the DMSO content. For example, data from a poster by Ricerca Ltd. [11] suggest that a DMSO content of 1% should not elevate apparent solubility by more than about 65%. At 5% DMSO, this group reported an average solubility increase of 145% due to the DMSO content. Solubility in an early discovery assay containing one percent DMSO can however exceed thermodynamic solubility by much more than 65%. However, this is very likely due to the time scale. Studies by the Avdeef (plon Inc.) group show a close approximation of early discovery solubility (quantitated by UV) to literature ther-... 

Prepare a poster that describes condensation polymerization to students who do not take science. Use the polymerization of Nylon-6 as an example. Include information on the practical uses of Nylon-6. What natural product was nylon designed to replace When nylon was first invented in the 1930s, what consumer products were made from it What part did nylon play in World War 11 ...

With these two moves in mind, we examine the Methods sections of three hypothetical posters. The first poster concerns the detection of PCBs in full-fat milk. We include both the poster Methods section (excerpt 9A) and the journal article Methods section (excerpt 9B). In this way, you can see for yourself the differences and similarities between the two genres. A key difference is that the poster includes far less information than the journal article. For example, the poster addresses only full-fat and skim milk, whereas the journal article also includes half-fat milk. Half-fat milk is an intermediate case and serves only to confirm the two extreme cases. Thus, the intermediate case can be omitted without changing the essential message of the poster. 

As a second example, we present another poster Methods section (excerpt 9C) based on the same research presented in figure 9.1. Recall that the hypothetical poster in figure 9.1 focuses on methods development the poster in excerpt 9C focuses on methods application. If you examine the Methods sections in the two posters, you will see that figure 9.1 describes how the on-fiber derivatization procedure was optimized excerpt 9G describes how the optimized procedure was used to analyze beer samples. 

As the last example, we present a poster Methods section based on Boesten et al. (2001) concerning the asymmetric Strecker synthesis of an a-amino acid (excerpt 9D and at the end of chapter 2). The poster Methods section presents only... 

Abbreviations Abbreviations are usually dehned in parentheses at their hrst use, for example, pentafluorobenzene (PFB) . Readily understood symbols or abbreviations may be used without dehnition (e.g., GC/MS, MeOH, R-OH, cat.). A few unconventional abbreviations may be used in posters if space is tight (e.g., temp for temperature, rt for room temperature, wk for week, exp for experiment, sat d for saturated, for and ). Additionally, some abbreviations, such as those for long chemical names, need not be defined if an exact identity is not essential for understanding the poster. 

Be careful, however, not to become too casual with abbreviations. For example, popular shorthand is not appropriate (e.g., B4 for before or FYI for for your information ). Also, use abbreviations consistently throughout the poster. For example, eq should not be used for equation and equivalent in the same poster. 

Numbers and units Conventional scientific units should be used in poster Methods sections (mL, (im, mol, M, etc.) however, some formatting conventions may be relaxed. For example, the conventional space between a number and its unit may be omitted in a poster, and the numerical form of a number may be used instead of its word form (even at the start of a sentence). If space allows, however, follow conventional practices. One convention that should never be relaxed is the use of leading zeros for numbers <1 (e.g., use 0.35 not. 35). 

Move 1 (Interpret or Explain Results) is often integrated into the poster Results section, thereby becoming a combined Results and Discussion (R D) section. An example of a combined R D section is shown in hgure 9.1. In such posters, interpretative remarks (Discussion) are included right along with the graphics (Results). In this way, space is conserved, and viewers can read and interpret the data simultaneously (usually easier than looking back and forth between the two sections). For instructional purposes, however, we have placed move 1 in the Discussion section, and we use a stand-alone Discussion section in the three hypothetical posters presented below. We follow this approach, in part, to maintain a clear distinction between results (just the facts) and discussion (interpretation of the facts). 

Hedging Hedging words should be used to soften interpretive remarks in posters. A few examples are presented below hedging words are italicized ... 

A References section is needed if you cite others works in your poster, unless you inserted an abbreviated reference directly into the text. If you include citations in only one section of your poster (e.g., the Introduction), the References section can be placed at the end of that section otherwise, include the references at the end or bottom of your poster. Format the references with the citation format used in the poster number them in citation order (if you used numerical citations) or arrange them alphabetically (if you used author—date citations). Because of space limitations, references may be abbreviated. Consider the following examples for a poster with numerical citations ... 

Figures 10.1-10.4 represent just a few examples of how to lay out a poster. Each poster is different hence, each will require variations on these themes. The only hard-and- fast rule is that the flow should be logical and clear to your viewers.
