Regret

It is regretted that the size of the volume has rendered the insertion of literature references impossible the Selected Bibliography (A,5) may partly compensate for this omission. Section numbers are now included in the headings of the pages—a feature introduced in response to requests by many readers. The volume comprises virtually at least three books under one cover, viz., experimental technique, preparations, and qualitative organic analysis. It should therefore continue to be of value as a one volume reference work in the laboratory. Students at all levels will find their requirements for laboratory work (excluding quantitative organic analysis) adequately provided for and, furthermore, the writer hopes that the book will be used as a source of information to supplement their theoretical studies. 

As the norbornyl ion controversy evolved, it became a highly public and frequently very personal and bitter pnblic debate. Saul Winstein suddenly died in the fall of 1969, shortly after the Salt Lake City sym-posinm. To my regret, I seemed to have inherited his role in repre-... 

Well, that s the end of Strike s section on MD-P2P/P2P synthesis. But that s not all this book has on the subject. For the goods on advanced, cutting-edge recipes, including more P2P synths, just go and check out Rhodium s Chapter. You won t regret it ... 

Another illogicality is the very common use of the symbols A, B and C for rotational constants irrespective of whether they have dimensions of frequency or wavenumber. It is bad practice to do this, but although a few have used A, B and C to imply dimensions of wavenumber, this excellent idea has only rarely been put into practice and, regretfully, I go along with a very large majority and use A, B and C whatever their dimensions. 

The editors regret that pressure of other work has made it impossible for Dr. Oliver Kamm to continue his valuable services with this series. 

John Bardeen was a truly remarkable scientist, and also a very private, taciturn man. Pippard (1995) in his obituary of Bardeen, recounts how John returned home from the Bell Labs and walked into the kitchen to say We discovered something today to (his wife) Jane s regret, all she could find in reply to what proved a momentous statement was That s interesting, but I have to get dinner on the table . ...

No Regrets a = 2 percent/year that is, the world runs scared of climate change. 

The examination of this idea has subsequently formed an integral part of my research in the philosophy of chemistry. This has also led to a certain amount of disagreement with other authors who appear to interpret Lowdin s remark in a somewhat different manner (Ostrovsky, 2001). I now deeply regret not having contacted Lowdin directly in order to seek his own clarification. In the present contribution I intend to revisit this question and to take the opportunity to respond to some critics as well as hopefully injecting some new ideas into the discussion. 

Texas-Swedish Cultural Foundation Fellow for the year 1956-57 Permanent address Physics Department, University of Tokyo. The Editor deeply regrets to announce the death of Dr. Yoshizumi on December 3, 1958. 

Regretfully, that world is our own, I reflected sadly at the Rose Center that night, only rarely.

With regret, the passing is noted, on April 16, 1997, of Guy G. S. Dutton, a member of the Board of Advisors of Advances for many years and a staunch supporter of the series. Also deceased in 1997 are two giants of science, Melvin Calvin and Alexander Todd, Nobel laureates, each of whom made seminal contributions in the carbohydrate field. 

I am really unwilling to enter the slippery area of these hypotheses and I am by no means eonvineed by the truth of this before mentioned proposition [the discontinuous model of matter], A major part of seientists believes in its evidence, and they will, if they act consequently, come to the results which I have indicated. I deeply regret being unable to juxtapose this theory with another, based on a continuous model of matter, coming to results of the same importance. (Frankenheim, 1835, 311pp, translated by the authors). 

Vo) in the crystal. (Vo) can catch electrons to form F and centers. (Pb) is also able to attract electrons while (Vb)" can trap holes to give rise to color centers. They vdll make a contribution to the X-ray irradiation-induced absorption. Of course, the charge balance of the crystal is kept by charge compensation among these defects. Regretfully, the detailed characterization of these defects is too difficult to cover here and further experiments need to be performed. 

The editors note with regret the passing of Laszld Mester on February 23, 1986. Mester worked extensively on hydrazine derivatives of sugars, and he contributed a notable article on the formazan reaction in Volume 13 of this series. 

In particular we want to acknowledge Herbert Muntau working from the Joint Research Center at Ispra, Italy, who was a major influence in the evolution of RM preparation and use and did great work from the early beginnings. We deeply regret that he was not able to join the project due to his enormous workload. 

It is an advantage of electroanalysis and its apparatus that the financial investment is low in comparison, for instance, with the more instrumental spectrometric methods real disadvantages are the need to have the analyte in solution and to be familiar with the various techniques and their electrochemistry it is to be regretted that the knowledge of chemistry and the skill needed often deter workers from applying electroanalysis when this offers possibilies competitive with more instrumental methods (cf., stripping voltammetry versus atomic absorption spectrometry). 

The present chapter has no ambition to cover all these topics. We focus solely on the information content of the two-pathway coherent control approach, where the energy-domain, single quantum states approach to the control problem simplifies the phase information and allows analysis at the most fundamental level. We regret having to limit the scope of this chapter and thus exclude much of the relevant literature. We hope, however, that this contribution will entice the reader to explore related literature of relevance. 

Mats oui, madame. I regret that I have not been able to come to you before, but in such uncertain times any man who is known about the court for secret work is regarded with suspicion. Only when I heard news of King Henry s great victory over the pretender at Stoke, and that he was truly safe, did I judge it safe for me, too. ... 

I ll have no regrets to offer just because I m passing on. 

It is recognized that, of the hundreds of reports involving silenes published even in the last ten years, not every one has been mentioned in this review. The authors selected those publications that appeared to be the most significant or interesting. If any publications have been misinterpreted in the review the authors regret the error the responsibility lies fully with the first-named author. 

Bretherick s Handbook remains broadly similar to the previous editions but older readers will notice some changes. There are, of course, some hundreds of additional entries and much supplementary information in existing entries. This is the second edition for which I have been responsible and readers will still regret the absence of Leslie Bretherick, who had to withdraw from compilation because of worsening sight but remains a support and stay. The bulk is still his work, which is an indication of his immense labours laying the foundations, when accidents were less often reported and databases harder to compile than they now are. The present editor and his assistants have a far easier task continuing the work.
