Retrospective Comments

As part of his general investigation of the [MLs] system, Kepert has also modeled this trigonal twist mechanism for [M(bidentate)3] polyhedra [24, 28]. The

QUALITATIVE COMMENTS (with 10 mg, orally) "In 30-40 minutes, I found I could get some distortions of objects around me, if I really tried hard. There are no color changes. It is unexpectedly mild, and I have no anxiety, no tachycardia. At the two hour point, the peak must be past, and I feel somehow disappointed. I am not sure, in retrospect, if there was ever anything there at all."... 

QUALITATIVE COMMENTS (with 30 mg) Bad taste, worse smell. But I like it. I can paint easily, and wouldn t hesitate to take a little more next time, but this is enough with no one to talk to. Manual dexterity good. Body rather warm. Wouldn t mind fooling around. In retrospect, it has a smooth onset, and is not too stimulating. This is a good one. ... 

QUALITATIVE COMMENTS (with 90 mg) Distinct body awareness in an hour. The threshold is mostly physical. Faint sense of inside warmth, skin prickling, cold feet, loose bowels, anorexia. By the fifth hour, I was on the downslope, and in retrospect I found it good humored but not insightful. ... 

In addition to handling large amounts of data generated automatically, the LIMS database must handle data from a number of data sources Instruments, terminals, personal work stations, and other computers. Not only does data exist in several forms but textual information such as header records, comments, reports and other documents must be accommodated. There exist well-defined relationships among the various data types in the laboratory. The dataset relationships must be carefully considered in designing the database. All data in the LIMS must be accessible by key fields such as sample number, method, instrument I.D. or laboratory. It is also necessary to support access of the stored data by ad hoc queries to extract information for correlations, summaries, retrospective studies and special reports. 

In the mid-1980s, virtually simultaneous reports on two new precise molecular level constructions of sub-nanoscopic/nanoscopic size appeared in the literature. In 1984 we (DAT) reported the synthesis, isolation and characterization of the first iterated series of Starburst/cascade dendrimers based on genealogical synthesis [2, 77-83]. The following year Smalley, Curl and Kroto described the first observation of a 60-carbon fullerene by mass spectroscopy [43a]. More recently the synthesis of buckminsterfullerene has been achieved by physicists at the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg [44] to give macroscopic quantities of the third allotropic and first molecular form of carbon, named after Buckminster Fuller. Similarities between these two constructions were not initially apparent, but in retrospect they deserve comment in so far as they each involve molecular level synthesis leading to closed geometrical architecture". 

A retrospective analysis of data from 19 patients has shown that the effect of terodiline on the QT interval is dose-related. The authors commented that terodiline has structural similarities to prenylamine, an antianginal drug that was previously shown to have prodysrhythmic properties, so that such problems should really not have been unexpected (SEDA-20,147). 

In their study of the culture of honor" In the American South. Nisbett and Cohen (1996, Chapter 4) report that when they staged a scene in which Southern subjects were insulted by a confederate, they expected but did not find a difference in cortisol and testosterone leveb between subjects who were insulted in the presence of third parties and those who were insulted without witnesses nor did they find a difference in behavioral responses (as measured, for instance, by the choke of the aggressive strategy in a game of chicken) between the public and private conditions. To explain these puzzling results, they comment, In retrospect... it is... 

The authors make two final comments. One is that in retrospect perhaps the differences in the biosynthesis of crinine and mesembrine alkaloids are not entirely unexpected in view of the widely different phylogenetic origins of the... 

The absence of response to our previous invitations for constructive comments on the content of the Report we hope indicates a general satisfaction. Nevertheless, we have taken very seriously the legitimate comments received about delays in publication of current volumes of the Series. Whereas apportionment of blame in retrospect is neither appropriate nor productive, it is to be hoped that Volumes 13, 14, and (maybe even) 15 will have been published in 1982. Volume 15 will be published in Parts I and II, corresponding to the present Parts I and II, which will appear as separate books, produced from camera ready copy.
