Present status evaluation surveys

Within the framework of this philosophy, this symposium is concerned with several topic areas pertinent to the problems associated with the identification and confirmation of pesticide residues at submicrogram levels. The purpose of this symposium is to survey the present status of the classical physical, chemical, and biochemical techniques employed for residue analysis to evaluate critically the more recently applied, relatively unexploited techniques which have become available for the detection, quantitation, and characterization of pesticide residues and finally, to examine and discuss the current needs and problems, stimulate and encourage greater research activity, and point the way to future developments in the analysis of pesticide residues. 

The use of drugs is a realistic approach to the prevention of atherosclerosis and therefore, the design and evaluation of effective compounds represents an endeavor of ever-increasing importance. Thus, the further aspect of this review will address itself to a survey of the present status of research on hypolipidemic agents and their therapeutic effects. 

The present report was prepared by a coordinating committee made up of the chairmen of the five panels involved in earlier reports, epidemiologists who had served on those panels, and one newly appointed person. It is based largely on the work of Robert Keehn of the National Research Council s Medical Follow-up Agency, which had primary responsibility for conducting a questionnaire survey of test subjects to evaluate aspects of their current health, family status, and lifestyle. 

This contribution examines current approaches to Coulomb few-body problems mainly from a methodological perspective, in contrast to recent reviews which have focused on the results obtained for benchmark problems. The methods under discussion here employ wavefunctions which explicitly involve all the interparticle coordinates and use functional forms appropriate to nonadiabatic systems in which all the particles are of comparable mass. The use of such wavefunctions for states of arbitrary angular symmetry is reviewed, and the kinetic-energy operator, written in the interparticle coordinates, is presented in a convenient form. Evaluation of the resultant angular matrix elements is discussed in detail. For exponentially correlated wavefunctions, problems of integral evaluation are surveyed, the relatively new analytical procedures are summarized, and relations among matrix elements are presented. The current status of Gaussian-orbital and Hylleraas methods is also reviewed.
