Short Summary

The worldwide baseline reference for the many plants or herbs that have been tried against cancer, whether successfully or not and also poisonous or not, is by Hartwell (1982b). Hartwell was with the NCI and in the course of his literature survey identified about 3000 plant species that appeared in medical folklore as potential anticancer agents. 

There are rumors that Compound-X underwent extensive clinical trials in Portugal and elsewhere, as previously indicated, and was once an item of interest to the company Vipont Pharmaceuticals, formerly headquartered at Fort Collins, Colorado. This company was involved in some kind of operation near Lander and Riverton, 

It may be added that the Hoxsey treatment, which utilizes a number of herbs, includes burdock, a component also present in Essiac. (Although the Hoxsey treatment had many followers, and Hoxsey prevailed in the courts, his treatment proved ineffective against his own cancer.)

Although each Back-to-Basics article is quite brief, a very short summary of each article is provided in Appendix A for readers who want a succinct, informative account that provides a quick working understanding of the topic. 

After a brief historical review in Chapter 1 the following five chapters provide a short summary of the general methods of preparation of plastics materials and follow on by showing how properties are related to chemical structure. These particular chapters are largely qualitative in nature and are aimed not so much at the theoretical physical chemist but rather at the polymer technologist and the organic chemist who will require this knowledge in the practice of polymer and compound formulation. 

A document from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health" describes, in detail, the different BSC designs and operating parameters. This document is easily available on the Internet and only a short summary will be provided here. For more detail regarding operation, design, use, testing, protection, etc. the reader is referred to the latest edition of the CDC-NIH document. 

The short summary of these results is that none of these model chemistries is very accurate at modeling this process in toto. Some of them achieve good results on either the component dissociation energies or the final value of AH, but no method does well for all of them. Not even QCISD(T) at the very large 6-311+G(3df) basis set Ls adequate. A compound energy method is required to successfully address thus problem. We will see such a solution in the next chapter. ... 

It would take us too far afield to discuss all of Stonier s ideas and arguments. We therefore conclude this section with a just a short summary of the basic propositions of information physics [ston90] ... 

A great variety of SAH was obtained using radical grafting of hydrophilic monomers on natural polymers without any previous modification Table 3 represents a short summary of the data on these SAH which can be divided into two groups. 

Such representation of the r (cp) dependence was discussed in dozens of papers. This enables us to confine ourselves to a short summary. The first term of the series ao (for cp = 0) obviously equals the viscosity of the dispersion medium ... 

The first data on genetically modified mice were reported very recently. Animals deficient in GPR4, OGR1, and TDAG8 are viable and fertile, and show no major defects. A short summary of available information is given in the following (see also Table 1). 

The short summary here of Popper s and Kuhn s contributions to the philosophy of science is based, in the case of Popper, only on his early work, which emphasized logic and classified psychology as not scientific. It should be emphasized that the later work of Popper, particularly in the last two decades, demonstrates his broad and deep ideas covering much more than the philosophy of science in a narrow sense. An excellent example is his opinion on precision, as published in Popper s autobiography (1982, p. 24) The quest for precision is analogous to the quest for certainty, and both should be abandoned. .. One should never try to be more precise than the problem demands. .. It is always undesirable to make an effort to increase precision for its own sake — especially linguistic precision — since this usually leads to loss of clarity. ... 

The research detailed in previous sections outlines productive steps toward increased certainty in global quantification of the effects that climate has on carbon cycle processes. Presented here is a short summary of future research directions. 

The behaviour of phosphazene polymers upon irradiation with UV-vis light has been the object of several review articles during the last 20 years [408-413, 708] and for this reason it will be not treated in detail in this paper. The short summary of the topic presented here deals with the consideration that the photochemical behaviour of POPs originates in the combination of the transparency of the skeleton of these materials (up to well inside in the UV range of the... 

The present chapter will address the following issues (1) a very brief overview on the properties of the different types of Cl -channels in the various mammalian cells (2) a short summary on what is known of Cl channels on a molecular basis (3) a discussion of pharmacological agents blocking the various Cl -channels and (4) a specific section dealing with the regulation of epithelial and maybe other Cl -channels. This entire area has been reviewed rather extensively in the recent past. A large number of references will be provided in order to keep this text concise. The entire field of Cl -channels in the central nervous system will only be touched upon to compare these channels to the Cl -channels in apolar cells and epithelia. 

In this short summary of peak profile analysis, we only considered the broadening due to the dimension and the strain, and we have considered only the Fourier-cosines transform (i.e. the symmetric part of the peak) that is the most frequent case. 

There are important instructions in each section in the series relative to specific types of tests. However, four sections of the series provide particularly significant instructions relative to field crop residue trials and a short summary of their content is listed below. 

The simplest treatment of the lattice-gas model is through the mean-field or randommixing approximation, which is treated in a number of textbooks (see, e.g.. Refs. 1 and 4). We give a short summary of its application to liquid-liquid interfaces, since it nicely illustrates under what conditions the phases separate. 

Title-page damaged -... indicate missing letters or punctuation. Includes (pp. 413-425) A short summary appendix concerning the soul and its image and of the Turba which destroyeth the image. .. 

A short summary of the SCF-MI method is presented here for the simplest case of two interacting closed-shell monomers A and B. A full account of the theory is given elsewhere [11] and its generalization to interaction of an open shell with an arbitrary number of closed shell fragments has recently appeared [19]. 

From the 323 projects in EPA s MTBE Treatment Profiles dataset, 13 projects were identified where MTBE was treated using MPE. Information on the treatment of other oxygenates during these 13 projects is limited no projects reported treating other oxygenates. Most of the 13 MPE projects were full scale (9 projects). Most of the projects (9) used MPE only the remaining four projects supplemented MPE with air sparging (2 projects) and ISCO (2 projects). Short summaries for two projects, MPE at Service Station A, Maryland, and MPE at Sparks Solvent/Fuel Site, Sparks, Nevada, are included at the end of this section. 

The following is a short summary of the mechanistic aspects of type I cleavage discussed in this section.

Sydnones undergo a range of useful reactions despite their susceptibility to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and instability in basic media. Since the last review of the subject <1996CHEC-II(4)165>, some novel methods have appeared and these are presented in the following sections. Table 3 provides a short summary of some recent transformations applied to 3-arylsydnones. 

The first page of each chapter presents an index. A title-summary box for each section presents a short summary and memory jogger intended to be helpful for review. If you already know what the boxed terms mean and feel comfortable with them, don t bother to read the text section that follows—proceed until you find a heading you don t understand, and then read till you understand. The first rule (it may not really be the first rule, but it is a rule) is not to waste time reading things you already know.

Nine commonly used hazard evaluation procedures are highlighted in the short summary statements that follow. These procedures can be applied not only to the design of a new plant but also can be used to review safety conditions of existing plants, particularly regarding an update of current standards and operations. 

The first part of this book is dedicated to a discussion of mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation. We start with a list of basic definitions and explanations (Chapter 1). Chapter 2 is devoted to the mass spectrometer and its building blocks. In this chapter we describe in relative detail the most common ion sources, mass analyzers, and detectors. Some of the techniques are not extensively used today, but they are often cited in the MS literature, and are important contributions to the history of MS instrumentation. In Chapter 3 we describe both different fragmentation methods and several typical tandem MS analyzer configurations. Chapter 4 is somewhat of an outsider. Separation methods is certainly too vast a topic to do full justice in less than twenty pages. However, some separation methods are used in such close alliance with MS that the two techniques are always referred to as one combined analytical tool, for example, GC-MS and LC-MS. In effect, it is almost impossible to study the MS literature without coming across at least one separation method. Our main goal with Chapter 4 is, therefore, to facilitate an introduction to the MS literature for the reader by providing a short summary of the basic principles of some of the most common separation methods that have been used in conjunction with mass spectrometry.
