Books, reference

There are several books that are essential reference sources for those seeking summarized information on the teratogenicity of chemicals. 

Reproductive Hazards of Industrial Chemicals (ref. 14) reviews in detail 48 industrial compounds in a consistent format comprising animal studies, human studies, and a summary with evaluation. Animal and human studies are subdivided into sections on pharmacology and toxicology, endocrine and gonadal 

Mutagenicity, Carcinogenicity, and Teratogenicity of Industrial Pollutants (ref. 15) contains summaries of teratogenicity information about industrial pollutants. Discussions of these pollutants are divided into four groups heavy metals, insecticides, monomers, and halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. 

Clinical Aspects of the Teratogenicity of Drugs (ref. 16) provides a tabular compilation of data extracted from teratology papers. The authors reviewed and interpreted more than 2000 references this book is a substantial aid to physicians and others working in health sciences.

FOR THE BEST IN PAPERBACKS, LOOK FOR THE PENGUIN REFERENCE BOOKS... 

This acclaimed reference book is designed for everyday use, and forms the most comprehensive handbook ever published on the law as it affects the individual. 

Monographs, reference books, and encyclopedias, e.g., Ullmann s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, or the Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry are included in this type of literature, which is furthest from the primary literature as concerns time and content. In most cases, tertiary literature summarizes a topic with information from different sources, and additionally evaluates the contents. 

The value cited for the apparent K- of carbonic acid 4 3 X 10 IS the one normally given in reference books It is determined by mea suring the pH of water to which a known amount of carbon dioxide has been added When we recall that only 0 3% of carbon dioxide is converted to carbonic acid in water what is the true of carbonic acid ... 

The effort to clarify and articulate the principles of spectrometry as simply as possible appears to have struck a welcome response among those who use mass spectrometers. The original series was not advertised, but, once it had been discovered outside the Micromass organization, there were inquiries as to how it could be purchased. From the start. Micromass offered the series free in a ring-binder format and later also provided it free on CD ROM and then on the Internet. Updating of the first CD led to over 600 requests for it on the day after its release had been announced on the Internet. Partly because of this response — but mainly because users or potential users frequently like to have a traditional reference book — it was decided to publish the series in this present book form.

The degree of data spread around the mean value may be quantified using the concept of standard deviation. O. If the distribution of data points for a certain parameter has a Gaussian or normal distribution, the probabiUty of normally distributed data that is within Fa of the mean value becomes 0.6826 or 68.26%. There is a 68.26% probabiUty of getting a certain parameter within X F a, where X is the mean value. In other words, the standard deviation, O, represents a distance from the mean value, in both positive and negative directions, so that the number of data points between X — a and X -H <7 is 68.26% of the total data points. Detailed descriptions on the statistical analysis using the Gaussian distribution can be found in standard statistics reference books (11).

An extensive compilation of the properties of compound semiconductors may be found in the Landolt-Bn mstein reference books (13,14). Various subvolumes in the series cover the properties of elemental. III—V, II—V, and other less common semiconductors. Information may also be found concerning semiconductor technology. Another useful source of information is the EMIS data review series (15). These books describe the properties and technology of GaAs, HgCdTe, InP, AlGaAs, InGaAs, and the III—V nitride compounds. 

Label claims for tocopherol levels in preparations can be based on milligrams or International Units. Only the RRR or all-rac-International Units ate also used in some reference books and compendia, eg. Food Chemicals Codex (40,53), which is of particular importance for specifications for food fortification.

Preparation and chemistry of chromium compounds can be found ia several standard reference books and advanced texts (7,11,12,14). Standard reduction potentials for select chromium species are given ia Table 2 whereas Table 3 is a summary of hydrolysis, complex formation, or other equilibrium constants for oxidation states II, III, and VI.

A number of standard synthetic reference books are available. A review article by Kossell and Seliger discusses protective groups used in oligonucleotide syntheses, including protection for the phosphate group, which is not included in this book, and a series of articles describe various aspects of protective group chemistry. 

All relevant aspects of a machine, including its design, have been discussed but greater emphasis is laid on selection and application. Since this is a reference book the basic theory is assumed to be known to a student or a practising engineer handling such machines and/or technologies.
