The review by Teller and Bau11 is the key reference in the important area of structural studies. This covers both X-ray and neutron methods, illustrates all the main structural types, and tabulates all the relevant structural data. In view of the availability of this review, we will only sketch the main features of the topic and refer the reader to it for the detailed data. 

In view of the high frequency and routine nature of some short-term studies, it has been recognized in the OECD Consensus Document on QA and GLP that each study need not be inspected individually by the QA during the experimental phase of the study. In such cases, a process-based inspection may cover each study-type. 

Some of the most difficult problems in defining expressions used in the GLP Principles can be seen as originating from the wide diversity of study types that are to be covered by these Principles. One of the most hotly debated issues has been, and still is, the problem of short-term studies . 

One of the instruments of Quality Assurance for ascertaining and ensuring the continued adherence to the rules of GLP in a test facility as such, and within the studies performed, is the inspection of facilities and experimental activities. The GLP Principles do not require a constant supervision, since it is recognised that randomly conducted inspections will be sufficient to ensure compliance with the GLP rules. These inspections have, however, to meet an important point They have to cover those parts of a study which are of special importance for the validity of the data and the conclusions to be drawn therefrom, or where deviations from the rules of GLP would most heavily impact on the integrity of the study. This holds for studies which undergo multiple inspections during their conduct as well as for those which may be inspected only on a process basis. Quality Assurance thus has to strike a fine balance in their inspectional activities, taking into consideration such aspects as inspection frequency, study type and critical phases , in order to achieve a well supported view of the GLP compliance at the test facility and within the studies conducted. 

The simultaneous formation of two or more a-bonds has always attracted synthetic chemists since complex molecules can be built up in one single step. Therefore it is not surprising that highly developed syntheses of natural and artificial products often made use of cycloaddition procedures. The meta photocycloaddition of aromatic compounds to alkenes certainly belongs to this category and has reached its summit of application in the admirable work of Wender s group. Hence this chapter describes photocycloadditions of various types covering mainly meta [3+2], ortho [2+2] and para [4+2] ones. Even an unusual example of an [6+6] cycloaddition is presented. The fact that only one substitution reaction is described may indicate that synthetic studies of electron transfer activation only started recently. 

The U.S. Geological Survey was scheduled to publish a revised study of U.S. thorium resources in August 1979. Partial results of this study, which cover most of these resources but do not include the beach placers of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, were presented orally by Staatz [S5] of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1978. Table 6.14 lists the types of deposit, the principal districts in which potentially economic thorium-bearing deposits have been found, the principal thorium minerals, and estimates of thorium reserves and resources. Thorium from the vein deposits, the first type, could be produced for less than 30/lb. Thorium is the principal salable product in these deposits. Thorium could be coproduced with other elements from disseminated deposits, massive carbonatites, and placers the amount of thorium that might be produced from them, and its cost, depends on the marketability of the other minerals that occur with the thorium. 

The study of surface films of the Langmuir type covers an extremely diverse group of phenomena. Measurements of film viscosity, diffusion on the surface, diffusion through the surface film, surface potentials, the spreading of monolayers, and chemical reactions in monolayers are just a few of the topics that have been studied. One interesting application is the use of long-chain alcohols to retard evaporation from reservoirs and thus conserve water. The phrase to pour oil on the troubled waters reflects the ability of a mono-molecular film to damp out ripples, apparently by distributing the force of the wind more evenly. There are also several different types of surface films only the simplest was discussed in this section. 

Currently, 52 phenotype files are available, involving more than 3400 individuals and more than 800 types of measurements. These include both in vitro and in vivo studies, and cover all of the categories of evidence. A good representation of data on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of cancer therapies can be found, including studies on pediatric patients, as well as phenotypes associated with cardiovascular disease and hypertension. We also now accept micro array data in MAGE-ML format (16). 

The scope of this review is a detailed survey of reactions proceeding through vinyl cations and an attempt of a systematic definition of the properties of these intermediates with reference to those of saturated carbonium ions. Although attention will be particularly devoted to linear cations, bridged unsaturated species will be considered as alternative structures of vinyl cations rather than as a distinct type of reactive intermediates. The w-complex terminology (Dewar, 1949) widely abused in the past decades to indicate especially cyclic cations and recently reassessed by Banthorpe (1970) will be generally avoided. The most recent studies not covered by published reviews on the subject (Rappoport, 1969 Richey and Richey, 1970 Richey, 1970 Hanack, 1970) are discussed in greater detail than others and data are collected in pertinent Tables. 

A number of review articles have described the applications of multinuclear NMR methods for studying structures and internal rearrangements of metal clusters. The more specific cluster types covered were transition metal carbonyl clusters/ chiral clusters/ and mixed metal clusters containing carbyne or ketenylidene bridges. ... 

A correlation of the number of specific protein groups modified with the number of reagent residues introduced into the protein is another desirable featmre of any study of tiie type covered by this review. In the case of oxidation or reduction reactions in which no reagent residues are attached to the protein the stoichiometry of the reaction provides equivalent information. 

This section covers the general features of type II R ENases and then more specifically EcoRI, one of the typical and most thoroughly studied type II restriction enzymes. Because the major use of type II restriction enzymes is to cut dsDNA in a site-specific manner, their specific applications are described within each appropriate subsection.

The time taken to complete a base line study and EIA should not be underestimated. The baseline study describes and inventorises the natural initial flora, fauna, the aquatic life, land and seabed conditions prior to any activity. In seasonal climates, the baseline study may need to cover the whole year. The duration of an EIA depends upon the size and type of area under study, and the previous work done in the area, but may typically take six months. The EIA is often an essential step in project development and should not be omitted from the planning schedule. 

Presentation of Results. A wide variety of procedures and techniques are used to present results of market research. The technique used varies by type of study, by the source of the study within a company, and from company to company. In broadest terms, both written and oral reports cover almost every possibiUty.
