Subject index concentrations

The year 1925 brought important changes and improvements in the subject index and the Richter type formula index. There were an increased concentration and a classification into main subject groups and subgroups. Key terms were printed in heavy black type an especially desirable feature was the addition in parentheses of all synonyms and alternate names of chemical compounds next to their main entry, in both the subject and formula indexes. 

Figure 4 Determination of airway reactivity using an aerosolized broncho-constrictor. Incrementally increasing concentrations of bronchoconstrictor agonist aerosol are administered to a subject. The decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1.0) is measured after each concentration. The dose of bronchoconstrictor that induces a 20% decrease in FEV10 is then interpolated from the dose-response curve obtained in the subject. This concentration provides an index of airway sensitivity or reactivity. Severe asthmatics are extremely sensitive to bronchoconstrictor stimuli (i.e., respond to a lower concentration of bronchoconstrictor), more so than mild asthmatics and nonasthmatic subjects.

Sa.tura.tion Index. Materials of constmction used in pools are subject to the corrosive effects of water, eg, iron and copper equipment can corrode whereas concrete and plaster can undergo dissolution, ie, etching. The corrosion rate of metallic surfaces has been shown to be a function of the concentrations of Cl ,, dissolved O2, alkalinity, and Ca hardness as well as buffer intensity, time, and the calcium carbonate saturation index (35). 

The amount and nature of the information available for establishing a TLV also varies from substance to substance. Consequently, the precision of the estimated TLV is also subject to variation. The ACGIH specifically points out that TLV s should not be used as a relative index of hazard or toxicity. However, they commonly do express some element of relative hazard. In particular, however, they should not be used to distinguish fine lines between safe and dangerous concentrations. The best practice, of course, is to maintain concentrations of atmospheric contaminants as low as practical at all times. 

It is not surprising that the data produced as total petroleum hydrocarbons (EPA 418.1) suffer from several shortcomings as an index of potential ground-water contamination or health risk. In fact, it does not actually measure the total petroleum hydrocarbons in the sample but rather, measures a specific range of hydrocarbon compounds. This is caused by limitations of the extraction process (solvents used and the concentration steps) and the reference standards used for instrumental analysis. The method specifically states that it does not accurately measure the lighter fractions of gasoline [benzene-toluene-ethylbenzene-xylenes fraction (BTEX)], which should include the benzene-toluene-ethylbenzene-xylenes fraction. Further, the method was originally a method for water samples that has been modified for solids, and it is subject to bias. 

Physical properties of the solvent are used to describe polarity scales. These include both bulk properties, such as dielectric constant (relative permittivity), refractive index, latent heat of fusion, and vaporization, and molecular properties, such as dipole moment. A second set of polarity assessments has used measures of the chemical interactions between solvents and convenient reference solutes (see table 3.2). Polarity is a subjective phenomenon. (To a synthetic organic chemist, dichloromethane may be a polar solvent, whereas to an inorganic chemist, who is used to water, liquid ammonia, and concentrated sulfuric acid, dichloromethane has low polarity.)... 

The Rayleigh approximation shows that the intensity of scattered light depends on the wavelength of the light, the refractive index of the system (subject to the limitation already cited), the angle of observation, and the concentration of the solution (which is also restricted to dilute solutions). In the Rayleigh theory, the size and shape of the scatterers (M and B) enter the picture through thermodynamic rather than optical considerations. 

In concentrated sulfuric acid, aromatic polyisocyanides are subject to sulfona-tion. Poly(isopropyl isocyanide) is dissolved in 97%H2S04, and is reprecipitated by the addition of water. Infrared spectra show that some structural change, e.g. hydrolysis, has taken place (26). Poly(sec-butyl isocyanide) is dissolved by the acidic hexafluoroisopropanol with some attendant browning of the solution (7). In spite of the theoretical complexities of polyelectrolytic character introduced into the solution characterization of polyisocyanides in strongly acidic media, such media at least allow viscometric indexing of the various samples of the otherwise insoluble polyisocyanides. 

Column temperature is another variable that is useful in improving separations since one class of compounds may be affected more than another by change in column temperature. Compounds from two such classes which are not separable at one temperature may be completely resolved if the temperature is changed 20°C. This effect is also helpful in tentative identification of compounds since change of retention index with temperature for various classes of compounds has been the subject of many papers. A more detailed discussion of the effect of stationary phase concentration and temperature on separations has been published (6). 

There have been many developments in the chemistry of the 1,3,5-triazines since the comprehensive reviews of Smolin and Rapoport (59HC(13)1) and Modest (B-61MI22000, p.627). It is impossible to include all the vast range of 1,3,5-triazines reported in the literature 138 pages of the Compound Index in the Ninth Collective Index of Chemical Abstracts are dedicated to this system. This review will concentrate on the more important recent developments of 1,3,5-triazine chemistry, and reference will be made to previous reviews, or typical papers, to illustrate the better-known aspects of the subject. 

The parametric approach, which is not strictly needed for a single Gray-Scott reaction, works very well for an arbitrary number of parallel reactions and for continuous mixtures. Figure 16 shows a case of two parallel reactions for which an isola and a mushroom coexist. Because the notions of continuous mixtures and reactions will be treated in Chapter 8, G H and in the group of papers listed in the Index of Subjects in Publications under the heading Continuous mixtures, we can be very brief and start with the nondimensional equations. Let x be the index of the mixture whose species are /4(x). The steady-state concentration of the material with index in (x, x + dx) is V(x)dx, the feed concentration a(x)dx and the conversion U(x) = 1 - V/(x)/a(x), the last being defined only for values of x for which a(x) is not zero. B, the autocatalytic agent, forms itself as an undifferentiated product whose concentration is W. The rate of the first reaction, and hence p,(x), depends on the... 

In order to integrate further some of the various reactions mentioned, and to detect its presence by other methods, the vessels of the rat s mesoappendix were employed as a test object (Chambers-Zweifach preparation, 12). A good correlation between the presence of a vasoexcitor material-like substance in the extracts and the presence of hypertension was found. When the whole rat was used for assay, a much cruder index, sizable quantities of active pressor material were isolated from the blood only of those patients showing at least a degree of renal impairment (lessened ability to concentrate urine, etc.). In general it may be stated unequivocally that patients with severe hypertension have in their arterial blood extractable substances which are pressor for the rat there are less or undemonstrable amounts in blood of less severe or neurogenic hypertensive patients there is little or none in blood of normotensive subjects a vasoexcitor material-like activity is exerted by blood from most hypertensive patients adenyl compounds, having a depressor action, present in extracts of blood are less prevalent in those from hypertensive patients the active rat pressor material (pherentasin) is probably aminelike in nature, is not a protein, but may be a simple peptide or an amine.
