I ve assembled a template to create a virtual notebook page, complete with structures, tables, references, and a system that automatically y suitable for pubUcat based on output parai I ve wired the laboratd directly to the departn LAN arKi written a c retrieval/trs... 

The present chapter is the first part of a joint project in which we are trying to update the 1976 review with an account of the progress that has been made in the subject over the past 2 decades or so. 

Volume 76 of Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is concerned with heteroaromatic tautomerism. This subject was first dealt with in a comprehensive manner in Volumes 1 and 2 of Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, which appeared in 1963 and 1964. This material was updated in a special supplementary volume, which appeared in 1976. Subsequently, much further information has become available and we have now attempted to bring the whole subject up-to-date. 

Tlie first two chapters in this volume continue the survey of heteroaromatic tautomerism that was the topic of Volume 76 of Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry. Tliis whole subject was first dealt with comprehensively in Volumes 1 and 2 of our series, which date back to 1963 and 1964.Tlie area was updated in a special supplementary volume of the series that appeared in 1976 but is now seriously out of date. Tire chapters in Volume 76 deal with a general introduction and the tautomerism of tive-membered monocyclic rings systems. 

The chemistry of furazans and furoxans has been the subject of intensive investigations over the years. There has been been a substantial increase in synthetic manipulations of substituents attached to these ring systems. Additionally, there are a number of publications that deal with the incorporation of the heterocyclic rings into more complex molecules. It is the aim of this review to present new synthetic developments and to update reviews in the field of... 

The volume ends with a chapter by B. Stanovnik and M. Tisler of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and A. R. Katritzky and O. V. Denisko of the University of Plorida on the annular tautomerism of six-membered ring heterocycles. This represents a further installment in our comprehensive update of heteroaromatic tautomerism, which was the subject of several chapters in Volumes 79 and 80 of this series. 

Most developments in the past two decades, however, have involved coupled column systems which are much more amenable to automation and more readily permit quantitative measurements, and such systems form the subject of this present book. A review on two-dimensional GC was published (43) in 1978 (and recently updated (29)), and the development by Liu and Phillips in 1991 of comprehensive 2D GC marked a particular advance (33). The fundamentals of HPLC-GC coupling have been set out (37) with great thoroughness by Grob. Other work on a number of other aspects of multidimensional chromatography have also been extensively reviewed (44,45). 

To obtain updated listing of the published information on this research, contact the AIChE office in New York. The work is original and conducted by thoroughly qualified researchers/engineers. The work on runaway reactions is the first systematized examination of the subject and is really the only design approach available, but it requires careful study and is notjust dropping numbers in equations. 

I Focus On boxes at the end of each chapter present interesting applications of organic chemistry relevant to the main chapter subject. Including topics from biology, industry, and day-to-day life, these applications enliven and reinforce the material presented within the chapter. The boxes have been updated, and new ones added, including Where Do Drugs Come From (Chapter 5),...

This is similar to the simple atom-atom truncation except that dipolar groups will never be split by the cutoff distance. There is still the problem of discontinuities, but these are less extreme than in the case of atom-atom truncations. In cases where water is explicitly included, this approach exhibits the curious phenomena of hot water and cold protein if the entire system is coupled to a heatbath. This is because the more mobile atoms (the water) are subjected to more discontinuities which makes them hotter than the less mobile atoms (the protein) (Levitt, M., Weizmann Institute, personal communication, 1986.). It should be noted that this is one of the most commonly used methods of truncation for simulations where CHARMM is not used. For the group-group truncation, these calculations are in progress and will be reported elsewhere. For this type of truncation, both methods where the list is updated on... 

Based on the above, we can develop an "adaptive" Gauss-Newton method for parameter estimation with equality constraints whereby the set of active constraints (which are all equalities) is updated at each iteration. An example is provided in Chapter 14 where we examine the estimation of binary interactions parameters in cubic equations of state subject to predicting the correct phase behavior (i.e., avoiding erroneous two-phase split predictions under certain conditions).
