Chemistry, like any scientific discipline, relies heavily on experimental observations, and therefore on data. Until a few years ago, the usual way to publish information on recent scientific developments was to release it in books or journals. In chemistry, the enormous increase in the number of compounds and the data concerning them resulted in increasingly ineffective data-handling, on the side of the producers as well as the users. One way out of this disaster is the electronic processing, by computer methods, of this huge amount of data available in chemistry. Compared with other scientific disciplines that only use text and numbers for data transfer, chemistry has an additional, special challenge molecules. The molecular species consist of atoms and bonds that hold them together. Moreover, compounds... 

There is very little published information on the UV spectra of 1,2-benzisothiazoles, though more data are available on the 2,1-isomers. The spectra are complex with as many as six maxima above 200 nm. Representative wavelengths of maxima are collected in Table 12. In all cases the most intense bands (e > 15 000) are those at short wavelengths, but all the bands indicated in the table have molar absorptivities greater than 4000, except those of 3-amino-2,l-benzisothiazole. Saccharin absorbs weakly at 350 nm and 277 nm, with intense bands below 230 nm (ethanol solvent) (82UP41700>. It exists as the anion except in acid solutions. The UV spectra of cations formed from 3-amino-2,l-benzisothiazole are discussed in (69CB1961>. Further applications of UV spectroscopy in studying tautomeric... 

The World Wide Web has transformed the way in which we obtain and analyze published information on proteins. What only a few years ago would take days or weeks and require the use of expensive computer workstations can now be achieved in a few minutes or hours using personal computers, both PCs and Macintosh, connected to the internet. The Web contains hundreds of sites of Interest to molecular biologists, many of which are listed in Pedro s BioMolecular Research Tools (http // www.fmi.ch/biology/research tools.html). Many sites provide free access to databases that make it very easy to obtain information on structurally related proteins, the amino acid sequences of homologous proteins, relevant literature references, medical information and metabolic pathways. This development has opened up new opportunities for even non-specialists to view and manipulate a structure of interest or to carry out amino-acid sequence comparisons, and one can now rapidly obtain an overview of a particular area of molecular biology. We shall here describe some Web sites that are of interest from a structural point of view. Updated links to these sites can be found in the Introduction to Protein Structure Web site (http // WWW.ProteinStructure.com/). 

The properties of PVC may also he expected to depend on the molecular weight distribu n. Most commercial polymers, however, appear to have similar values for MJM and in any case there is little published information on effects of altering the parameter. It is perhaps rather surprising that there appears to be little work reported on the effect of blends of polymers of differing molecular weight on mechanical and rheological properties. 

Pure uninhibited tetrafluoroethylene can polymerise with violence, even at temperatures initially below that of room temperature. There is little published information concerning details of commercial polymerisation. In one patent example a silver-plated reactor was quarter-filled with a solution consisting of 0.2 parts ammonium persulphate, 1.5 parts borax and 100 parts water, and with a pH of 9.2. The reactor was closed and evacuated, and 30 parts of monomer... 

Goetsch, David I., and Stanley B. Davis. ISO 14000 Environmental Management. Upper Saddle River, N.J. Prentice Hall, 2000. - Publisher information says that this book is written as a practical teaching resource and how-to guide. Each chapter contains a list of key concepts, review questions, critical thinking problems, and discussion cases with related questions. 

The modulus term in this equation can be obtained in the same way as in the previous example. However, the difference in this case is the term V. For elastic materials this is called Poissons Ratio and is the ratio of the transverse strain to the axial strain (See Appendix C). For any particular metal this is a constant, generally in the range 0.28 to 0.35. For plastics V is not a constant. It is dependent on time, temperature, stress, etc and so it is often given the alternative names of Creep Contraction Ratio or Lateral Strain Ratio. There is very little published information on the creep contraction ratio for plastics but generally it varies from about 0.33 for hard plastics (such as acrylic) to almost 0.5 for elastomers. Some typical values are given in Table 2.1 but do remember that these may change in specific loading situations. 

To obtain updated listing of the published information on this research, contact the AIChE office in New York. The work is original and conducted by thoroughly qualified researchers/engineers. The work on runaway reactions is the first systematized examination of the subject and is really the only design approach available, but it requires careful study and is notjust dropping numbers in equations. 

This has been a very long and often frustrating project. Throughout the entire project the authors have been steadfastly cooperative and supportive of their editor. In the preparation of the handbook the authors have used published information from both the American... 

Because the mechanisms governing mass transfer are similar to those involved in both heat transfer by conduction and convection and in momentum transfer (fluid flow), quantitative relations exist between the three processes, and these are discussed in Chapter 12. There is generally more published information available on heat transfer than on mass transfer, and these relationships often therefore provide a useful means of estimating mass transfer coefficients. 

In the spectra of the reaction mixture, the hypobromite absorption band at 330 nm disappeared before the first minute of reaction had elapsed and there appeared an intense band near 290 nm which decreased with time (Fig. 1). On the basis of published information for other N-bromo compounds, this absorption band is attributed to the N-bromoamino acid formed (refs. 6, 21). 

In contrast, in developing countries published information on this topic is scarce, though existing information indicates that rain levels above background values also increase the amoimts of indicators in fresh water bodies. Blum et al. [32] described in Nigeria a peak period of faecal pollution of water sources in the transition between the dry and the wet seasons. Gasana et al. [33] described boosts of faecal contaminants in water supplies in Rwanda after heavy rain episodes. 

Professional organizations, such as the American Chemical Society, have published information on safety. Professional journals often carry safety articles, including stories about laboratory accidents of types not formerly experienced. 

ZRMs for fabricated foods could be easily manufactured following recommendations for development of in-house RM (Craft and Boyer 1993). Batch records, published information, and so on allow the analysts to quickly determine the compositional makeup of fabricated foods and thus to formulate and make a ZRM devoid of a specific micronutrient. 

There is little published information that directly examines ethnic differences in olanzapine pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics. Indirectly, examining stable... 

In the case of European legislation there is a published information source that contains many of the relevant documents. This is the hard copy or electronic version of the multiple volumes of The Rules Governing Medicinal Products in the European Union. The most convenient way to obtain these documents—which will eventually consist of nine volumes, some of which will have several parts—is via the internet. The available volumes can be found by way of the following web address http //dg3.eudra.org/eudralex/index.htm. The volumes relevant for human medicinal products are ... 

The process engineer must design a plant for the current process solely on the basis of published information. After he has completed his study no one will perform experiments to verify his assumptions, since the company does not plan to use that process. He is on his own. This type of problem is excellent for chemical engineering design classes. Some of best sources of material for such exercises are given at the end of this chapter.

A wide variety of possible sources of published information has been scanned to ensure maximum coverage. Primary sources have largely been restricted to journals known to favour or specialise in publication of safety matters, and the textbook series specialising in synthetic and preparative procedures. 

Table XIX contains stability constants for complexes of Ca2+ and of several other M2+ ions with a selection of phosphonate and nucleotide ligands (681,687-695). There is considerably more published information, especially on ATP (and, to a lesser extent, ADP and AMP) complexes at various pHs, ionic strengths, and temperatures (229,696,697), and on phosphonates (688) and bisphosphonates (688,698). The metal-ion binding properties of cytidine have been considered in detail in relation to stability constant determinations for its Ca2+ complex and complexes of seven other M2+ cations (232), and for ternary M21 -cytidine-amino acid and -oxalate complexes (699). Stability constant data for Ca2+ complexes of the nucleosides cytidine and uridine, the nucleoside bases adenine, cytosine, uracil, and thymine, and the 5 -monophosphates of adenosine, cytidine, thymidine, and uridine, have been listed along with values for analogous complexes of a wide range of other metal ions (700). Unfortunately comparisons are sometimes precluded by significant differences in experimental conditions.

In addition to the agents detailed in this handbook, there are other arsenic vesicants that were employed during World War I on a limited basis. However, there is little or no published information concerning the physical, chemical, or toxicological properties of these additional agents. 

The effect of diet on vulnerability to lead makes interpretation of published information on experimental lead poisoning in waterfowl extremely difficult (Chasko et al. 1984). For example, many mallards on a diet of com die within 10 to 14 days after ingesting a single lead shot, whereas similar birds on a balanced commercial duck ration appear outwardly normal after ingesting as many as 32 pellets of the same size (Wobeser 1981). Also, multiple nutritional deficiencies may have additional effects in potentiating the toxicity of lead in mallards (Carlson and Nielsen 1985). Under conditions of reduced dietary calcium availability, such as can occur in acid-impacted environments, birds risk increased uptake of lead (and other metals) and may accumulate toxic concentrations more rapidly (Scheuhammer 1996). Enhanced accumulation of lead was accompanied by an increased synthesis of metallothioneins and a greater inhibition of ALAD activity (Scheuhammer 1996). 

There is very little published information available on flotation of PGM ores in general, especially for the operating plants in the Morensky Reef and the UG2 operations. 

There is probably more published information about the making of Cl Pigment Red 3 than any other pigment, since in BIOS report 1661 [9] no less than six detailed works... 

With just a few exceptions, there is a dearth of published information providing systematic studies of retention volumes as a function of composition of the eluent over the whole composition range of binary solvents. To rectify this situation, a general equation for HPLC binary solvent retention behavior has been proposed [59] that should help generate a chromatographic retention model to fit Eq. (15.20) ...
