The importance of catalysis in biological as well as synthetic organic chemistry cannot be overstated. In Chapter 2, Donald Hilvert examines the scope and utility of asymmetric reactions under catalysis by antibodies. From a stereochemical point of view, this has significant impact not only in the production of important compounds in stereochemically defined form, but also in the ability of the antibody catalysts to alter the stereochemical course of organic reactions in fashions contrary to their natural tendencies. The most important chemical transformations carried out by catalytic antibodies are covered and provide the reader with an excellent snapshot of the state of the art of this emerging subfield in asymmetric catalysis. In addition, a critical appraisal of the limitations and future directions is included which should provide ample stimulation for thought. 

In this paper examples are given of the application of one of the advanced ultrasonic techniques (The S3rnthetlc Aperture Focusing Technique, S.A.F.T.) to both laboratory and site Inspections. Also, portable computer instrumentation is described which can apply SAFT directly on site. The Instrumentation described In this paper although fairly advanced Is by no means at the state of the art and therefore It can be reliably predicted that most advanced ultrasonic techniques will find there way on to site In the near future. 

The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the state of the art and highlights the current limitations of existing approaches for sequences assessment. Section 3 introduces the theoretical framework of the probabilistic languages (Garg et al. 1999) and the used notations. In section 4 is introduced the case study which is used like a support for the rest of the paper. Section 5 develops a theoretical framework based on probabilistic languages for quantitative assessment of events sequences. This proposed approach is illustrated using the case study in the section 6. Finally, section 7 presents the conclusions of this work and identifies some future research directions. 

Hence, catalysis may be considered as an enabling technology for this transition and, for this reason, it is necessary to better understand the limitations and possibilities in this field. We need to define future necessary directions of R D and the needs of fundamental and applied knowledge. In other words, there is the need to develop a roadmap for catalytic processes based on renewable feedstock. This book aims to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art on which such a research agenda can be based. 

This chapter presents the state of the art of the use of highly fluorinated liquids in ophthalmology and perspectives of future applications in the eye. In different medical disciplines, the characteristics of these fluids are directly used, like in the case of ocular endotamponades in ophthalmology, of gas carriers in liquid ventilation, or of preservation and transport media in transplantation medicine [1-3]. For these applications, the highly fluorinated liquids are used in a purified form or as mixtures. The intended effect is created by the physicochemical characteristics themselves. The extraordinary behaviour of the fluorocarbon liquids (FCLs) requires specialised biocompatibility testing, adjusted to this class of components.
