Standardisation nomenclature

In this section, some of the important aspects of non-Newtonian behaviour will be quantified, and some of the simpler approximate equations of state will be discussed. An attempt has been made to standardise nomenclature in the British Standard, BS 511 8 1 i. 

The increased speed of structure determination necessary for the structural genomics projects makes an independent validation of the structures (by comparison to expected properties) particularly important. Structure validation helps to correct obvious errors (e.g. in the covalent structure) and leads to a more standardised representation of structural data, e.g. by agreeing on a common atom name nomenclature. The knowledge of the structure quality is a prerequisite for further use of the structure, e.g. in molecular modelling or drug design. 

As regards abridged notation and nomenclature of alloys, we shall conform to the methods prescribed by the Permanent Commission of Standardisation in Paper A2, July 28th, 1919, on The Unification of Nomenclature of Metallurgical Products. ... 

The committee recommended reduction in the multiplicity of subjects included in existing curricula, the avoidance of specialisation by industry, standardisation of nomenclature, and the provision of a strong foundation in chemistry, physics, mathematics and chemical engineering to students. 

Increasing interdisciplinary collaboration in the area of isotopic analyses, stemming from common instrumentation and sample preparation schemes, suggests that standardisation of terminology would be advantageous. For the sake of clarity and uniformity one might hope that the rather cumbersome atom% excess nomenclature cease to be used. 

In the nomenclature for pharmaceutical preparatirais such as standardised in the Ph. Eur. the term of gel is reserved for higher concentrations of hydrogel formers, with a semisoUd consistency. But in practice the concept of gel is also used if hydrogel formers are used in lower concentrations as thickener in suspensions and emulsions for oral use. 

One of the goals of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) is to study topics of international importance to pure and applied chemistry which need regulation, standardisation, or codification. The mission of the lUPAC Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature is to provide syste-... 

At the pre-meeting workshop in Zurich on "The Molecular Structure and Function of Light-harvesting Pigment-Protein Complexes and Photosynthetic Reaction Centres" it was decided to try and standardise the nomenclature for the reaction centres and antenna complexes from the purple photosynthetic bacteria. This was seen to be necessary as there has been some confusion in the literature and because it is now necessary to name their constituent polypeptides. The following scheme was proposed and generally accepted.
