Primarily undergraduate

The Council on Undergraduate Research, a Society for the Advancement of Scientific Research at Primarily Undergraduate Colleges and Universities, initiated a new program in 1990, sponsored by science industry and designed to attract talented undergraduate students into careers in science. 

Modern Spectroscopy has been written to fulfil a need for an up-lo-dale lexl on speclroscopy. Il is aimed primarily al a lypical undergraduate audience in chemislry, chemical physics, or physics in Ihe United Kingdom and al undergraduate and graduate studenl audiences elsewhere. 

Until the last War, variants of optical emission spectroscopy ( spectrometry when the technique became quantitative) were the principal supplement to wet chemical analysis. In fact, university metallurgy departments routinely employed resident analytical chemists who were primarily experts in wet methods, qualitative and quantitative, and undergraduates received an elementary grounding in these techniques. This has completely vanished now. 

This book is intended primarily for regulatory officials, company administrators, engineers, technicians, industry maintenance personnel, and both undergraduate and first-year graduate students. It is assumed that the reader has taken... 

Subjects were primarily young female adults, undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Nebraska. All were assumed to be in good health and received medical clearance for participation prior to the start of each study from the University of Nebraska Division of Student Health Services. The project was approved by the University of Nebraska Institutional Review Board Involving the Protection of Human Subjects. 

I MUST ADMIT THAT the book is not ultimately my own idea. The original concept came from an undergraduate paper turned in for a Water Resource Management class I taught at the University of Iowa in 1996. D ara Houdeks work for that course—a class otherwise primarily focused on big bureaucracies and economies (such as the Army Corps of Engineers and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce)-focused on the water quality implications of her own lawn, and opened my eyes to a class of problems that would occupy me for the next decade. When I last heard, Dara was a master instructor at the Appalachian Mountain Club, far from her family s lawn. I owe her the debt of this idea. 

There is no one right audience to target in a poster rather, the correct audience will vary with the conference. Some conferences are primarily for experts others, such as the national meeting of the American Chemical Society, attract a wide range of individuals, from high school teachers and undergraduate students to... 

This text is focused primarily on chemical reactors, not on chemical kinetics. It is common that undergraduate students have been exposed to kinetics first in a course in physical chemistry, and then they take a chemical engineering kinetics course, followed by a reaction engineering course, with the latter two sometimes combined. At Minnesota we now have three separate courses. However, we find that the physical chemistry course... 

We now turn from the logical to the psychological analysis, which is complicated by the fact that causal and diagnostic contingencies are usually confounded in the real world. Suppose undergraduates know that students who attend a review session for the final examination get better grades than students who do not attend. Does the correlation between attendance and grade mean that the review session really helps Or does it mean that reviews are attended primarily by conscientious students who would do well, session or no Insofar as... 

Although this book has primarily been written as a textbook for university students, it is hoped that it may be useful to research workers engaged in the development of new materials. Chapters 1 and 2 are based on lectures given to undergraduate and graduate students in Kyoto University as part of a course on Inorganic Chemistry Chapter 3 was written specifically for the book. 

These two introductory texts provide a sound foundation in the key mathematical topics required for degree level chemistry courses. While they are primarily aimed at students with limited backgrounds in mathematics, the texts should prove accessible and useful to all chemistry undergraduates. We have chosen from the outset to place the mathematics in a chemical context - a challenging approach because the context can often make the problem appear more difficult than it actually is. However, it is equally important to convince students of the relevance of mathematics in all branches of chemistry. Our approach links the key mathematical principles with the chemical context by introducing the basic concepts first, and then demonstrates how they translate into a chemical setting. 

These notes are based on lectures on molecular orbital theory that we have presented at the University of Copenhagen and Columbia University. They were designed primarily for advanced-undergraduate and first-year graduate students as an introduction to molecular orbital theory. 

MATLAB comes as one main body of built-in functions and codes, and there are many additional specialized MATLAB toolboxes for various applications. As this book is primarily directed towards undergraduate and beginning graduate students, we have restricted ourselves deliberately to using the main body of MATLAB only in our codes and none of its many toolboxes. 

This book is written primarily to help students at undergraduate and graduate levels to understand and apply microwave techniques to organic synthesis, using commercially available microwave reactors. It is hoped that the application of different kind of microwave reactors will help to spread ideas of microwave technologies. It should also serve as an introduction to the field for the industrial chemists with no prior training in microwave assisted organic chemistry. 

This book has been written primarily for pharmacy undergraduates to provide a modem text to complement lecture courses dealing with pharmacognosy and the use of natural products in medicine. Nevertheless, it should be of value in most other courses where the study of natural products is included, although the examples chosen are predominantly those possessing pharmacological activity. 

This book is primarily an undergraduate text, and it reinforces essential chemistry skills through the study of medicinal chemistry. Medicinal chemistry overlaps with organic, physical, and biological chemistry. Under the American Chemical Society educational guidelines, an upper-level medicinal chemistry course serves as an in-depth course that bridges content from multiple divisions of chemistry. 

This book is intended for use primarily at the undergraduate level, but will also be useful to the practising graduate engineers in industry.
