It is agreed in Japan that the key person for the successful conduct of clinical trials is the clinical research co-ordinator (CRC). It is now common to refer to the study nurse or study co-ordinator as the CRC, although such a concept is rather new in Japan. It may take some time to introduce the CRC to hospitals, as there is no history of such a role and the rather rigid labour environment of Japan makes it difficult to establish a new activity in hospitals. 

Octahedral stereochemistry confirmed from magnetic and spectral studies. Co-ordination of L is through the nitrogen atom. 

Virtually no data on dietary fibre intakes in other populations of the world have been published. They have been quoted only in the report of a study co-ordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in which dietary intake and bowel cancer incidence were compared in a Danish and Finnish population. In this study a random sample of 30 men aged 55-64 were selected from population registers in Copenhagen (Denmark) and Kuopio (Finland) and asked to record their food intakes for four days. On the fourth day they also collected a duplicate sample of all the food eaten and this was sent to Cambridge for dietary fibre analysis. 

Turning to non-metallic catalysts, photoluminescence studies of alkaline-earth oxides in dre near-ultra-violet region show excitation of electrons corresponding to duee types of surface sites for the oxide ions which dominate the surface sUmcture. These sites can be described as having different cation co-ordination, which is normally six in the bulk, depending on the surface location. Ions on a flat surface have a co-ordination number of 5 (denoted 5c), those on the edges 4 (4c), and dre kiirk sites have co-ordination number 3 (3c). The latter can be expected to have higher chemical reactivity than 4c and 5c sites, as was postulated for dre evaporation mechanism. 

A detailed NMR study and determination of the X-ray structure of the ligand has suggested the occurrence of 7t-stacking of the 2,6-diisopropoxybenzene ring and coordinated aldehyde [5 c]. Because of this stacking, the si face of the CAB-co-ordinated a,/ -unsaturated aldehyde is sterically shielded (Fig. 1.1). 

Recent study of these complexes has focused on the reactions of trimethyls and trihydrides (Figure 2.92) as on protonation they generate reactive co-ordinatively unsaturated species...

As in previous volumes, the abbreviations P" , P, P etc. refer to the co-ordination number of phosphorus. Where convenient the compounds in each section are dealt with in this order. A number of theoretical studies such as MO calculations are briefly discussed. They are placed in the sections where they are of most relevance.

As the crystal surface exposed to the atmosphere is usually not ideal, specific sites exist with even much lower co-ordination numbers. This is shown schematically in Fig. 3.5, which gives a model comprising so-called step, kink and terrace sites (Morrison, 1982). This analysis suggests that even pure metal surfaces contain a wide variety of active sites, which indeed has been confirmed by surface science studies. Nevertheless, catalytic surfaces often behave rather homogeneously. Later it will be discussed why this is the case. In short, the most active sites deactivate easiest and the poorest active sites do not contribute much to the catalytic activity, leaving the average activity sites to play the major role. 

Spectroscopy. In the methods discussed so far, the information obtained is essentially limited to the analysis of mass balances. In that re.spect they are blind methods, since they only yield macroscopic averaged information. It is also possible to study the spectrum of a suitable probe molecule adsorbed on a catalyst surface and to derive information on the type and nature of the surface sites from it. A good illustration is that of pyridine adsorbed on a zeolite containing both Lewis (L) and Brbnsted (B) acid sites. Figure 3.53 shows a typical IR ab.sorption spectrum of adsorbed pyridine. The spectrum exhibits four bands that can be assigned to adsorbed pyridine and pyridinium ions. Pyridine adsorbed on a Bronsted site forms a (protonated) pyridium ion whereas adsorption on a Lewis site only leads to the formation of a co-ordination complex. 

Pd(H20)4] at 40°C [73]. A kinetic study indicated that internal attack on the Pd-co-ordinated nitrile ligand by the aqua (not hydroxide) ligand and external attack on the nitrile ligand by solvent water occur at a similar rate. 

Exchanges between pharmacopoeias are co-ordinated by the Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group (PDG) (International Harmonisation 1995) and it is frequent that one pharmacopoeia participates in a collaborative study organized by another pharmacopoeia, or that several pharmacopoeias share the same batch of reference substance to be used in their respective monographs nevertheless, in this case the reference substance can not be considered as harmonized. A new batch of erythromycin was shared between the United States Pharmacopoeia and the European Pharmacopoeia and was established in a common coEaborative study both for the microbiological assay (used in the USP for formulations) and the liquid chromatographic assay (used in the Ph. Eur. and USP for bulk material). 

There are surprisingly few microbeam studies of zircon-melt partitioning in natural systems and none in experimental systems. Recently Thomas et al. (2002) have derived zircon-melt partition coefficients from rehomogenised glass inclusions in zircons from an intrusive tonalite, while Hinton et al. (R. Hinton, S. Marshall and R. Macdonald, written comm.) have used an ion-microprobe to measure zircon-melt partition coefficients from a Kenyan peralkaline rhyolite, with an estimated eruption temperature of 700°C (Scaillet and Macdonald 2001). We have used the lanthanide partition coefficients from these two studies to derive best-fit values for and for the large Vlll-co-ordinated site. In total there are 13 individual sets of partition coefficients. All of these yield broadly consistent values of, in the range 0.968-1.018 A, but very variable, in the range 373-1575 GPa. Because Lu is comparable in size to cannot be well... 

An understanding of the residual catalyst content of prepared materials is important as it could potentially influence materials ageing and reliability. For FeCl3, the co-ordination by water to the Fe3+ will result in the formation of acidic species that could induce hydrolysis and scission of the Si—O—Si linkage. We have utilised Mossbauer spectroscopy to assess the nature of the FeCl3 catalyst in the final polymer. Our work in this area is quite original, as there are no reports of any such studies being performed previously on these materials.
