Supplements, reference format

L. G. Sillen, A. E. Martell, Stability Constants of Metal-Ion Complexes, Spec. Publ. 17 and 25 (Supplement 1), The Chemical Society, London, 1964, 1971 contain data on formation constants of complexes with references to the original literature. 

Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal autosomal-recessive disease, in which oxidative stress takes place at the airway surface [274]. This disease is characterized by chronic infection and inflammation. Enhanced free radical formation in cystic fibrosis has been shown as early as 1989 [275] and was confirmed in many following studies (see references in Ref. [274]). Contemporary studies also confirm the importance of oxidative stress in the development of cystic fibrosis. Ciabattoni et al. [276] demonstrated the enhanced in vivo lipid peroxidation and platelet activation in this disease. These authors found that urinary excretion of the products of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation PGF2 and TXB2 was significantly higher in cystic fibrotic patients than in control subjects. It is of importance that vitamin E supplementation resulted in the reduction of the levels of these products of peroxidation. Exhaled ethane, a noninvasive marker of oxidative stress, has also been shown to increase in cystic fibrosis patients [277]. 

Unless otherwise said, our preferred sources for enthalpies of formation of hydrocarbons are Reference 8 by Roth and his coworkers, and J. B. Pedley, R. D. Naylor and S. P. Kirby, Thermochemical Data of Organic Compounds (2nd ed.), Chapman Hall, New York, 1986. In this chapter these two sources will be referred to as Roth and Pedley , respectively, with due apologies to their coworkers. We will likewise also occasionally take enthalpies of fusion from either E. S. Domalski, W. H. Evans and E. D. Hearing, Heat Capacities and Entropies of Organic Compounds in the Condensed Phase , J. Phys. Chem Ref. Data, 13, 1984, Supplement 1, or E. S. Domalski and E. D. Hearing, J. Phys. Chem Ref. Data, 19, 881 (1990), and refer to either work as Domalski . 

The last essential dietary components to which we will refer and which were also discovered through feeding experiments with rats, are certain unsaturated fatty acids identified as linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids by Burr and Burr in 1930. The acids are required for the formation of complex lipids which are essential in membranes for the maintenance of their fluidity (Chapter 9). Deficiencies lead to a dermatitis which does not respond to additional B vitamin supplements or to oleic acid. 

The enthalpy of hydrogenation of the alkene was taken from Reference 54, and the enthalpy of formation of the requisite bicycloalkane was suggested by J. F. Liebman, M. S. Campbell and S. W. Slayden, in Supplement F2 The Chemistry of Amino, Nitroso, Nitro and Related Compounds (Ed. S. Patai), Wiley, Chichester, 1996. 

Note The Food Chemicals Codex, Fourth Edition, and its First Supplement, divided the infrared spectra into three categories Essential Oils, Flavor Chemicals, and Other Substances. The Committee on Food Chemicals Codex has decided to combine all three sections and place the infrared spectra in alphabetical order without reference to category. New samples of all substances whose monographs refer to infrared spectra have been run through the same infrared spectrometer to be the same size and format. 

The Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index, commonly referred to as CASSI, gives details of the journals and related literature cited in Chemical Abstracts since 1907. In addition, CASSI contains entries for those publications covered by Chemische Zentralblatt and its predecessors from 1830-1969 and the publications cited by Beilstein prior to 1907. The most recent printed cumulative edition of CASSI spanned the period 1907-2004. Printed supplements to CASSI were published quarterly from 2005 to 2009. The fourth quarterly supplement each year cumulated and replaced the preceding three supplements, and was effectively an annual update. Publication of the printed edition of CASSI ceased in 2009, but CASSI remains available and updated in a searchable CD-ROM format (CASSI on CD, first produced in the 1990s). 

Osteoporosis is of two forms- primary i.e. idiopathic and secondary. Primary osteoporosis is classified into type I and type II osteoporosis. Type I is referred to post menopausal osteoporosis which is the main type affecting women, characterized by rapid bone loss and affects women after the menopause, mainly in trabecular bone and is associated with vertebrae and distal radio fractures whereas type II also termed as senile osteoporosis occurs due to chronic deficiency of calcium, increase in parathormone activity and decrease in bone formation and is associated with aging. On the other hand secondary type results from inflammatory processes, endocrine changes, multiple myeloma, sedentariness and the use of drugs such as heparin, corticoid and alcohol [3]. Prevention is the main treatment of osteoporosis, for which bone mass peak and the prevention of postmenopausal reabsorption are critical elements. The common treatment of osteoporosis includes calcium consumption as calcium salts, vitamin D supplements, and hormone reposition [4], the use of calcitonin to modulate serum levels of calcium and phosphorous [5], the use of bisphosphonate, mainly alendronates [6], use of ipriflavone and sodium fluoride [7], besides physical activity to strengthen muscles, stimulate osteoblasts formation and prevent reabsorption. 

There are many sources of tabulated values for the standard heats of formation listed in Table 4.5. A good source of extensive data is the National Bureau of Standards Bulletin 500, and its supplements by F. K. Rossini, or the serial publications of the Thermodynamics Research Center at Texas A M University (API Research Project No. 44 and the TRC Data Project). A condensed set of values for the heats of formation may be found in Appendix F. If you cannot find a standard heat of formation for a particular compound in reference books or in the chemical literature, AiT/ may be estimated by the methods described in Verma and Doraiswamy or by some of the authors listed as references in Table 4.5. Remember that the values for the standard heats of formation are negative for exothermic reactions. 

The aim of this book is to present, in both comprehensive and summative formats, objective information on herbal supplements from the most reliable sources, with an emphasis on information not readily available elsewhere (i.e., detailed descriptions of case reports of adverse effects, pharmacokinetics, interactions, etc.). It is not designed to be a prescribes handbook the intended audience is both forensic and health care professionals, particularly researchers and clinicians interested in more detailed or context-oriented clinical information than is available in most herbal or natural product references. 

Comprehensive Polymer Science was published in 1989 as a set of seven volumes and then supplemented by two additional volumes. This excellent print collection comprehensively covered the entire field of polymer science at that time. Much of the information is currently still as valuable as it was then, although some aspects are seen differently now. Those differences are important in order to understand the enormous development polymer science has taken since 1989. When we developed the concept for an entirely new edition of Polymer Science A Comprehensive Reference, we intended not only to update and replace the original edition of Comprehensive Polymer Science, (we are pleased to announce that it will be soon available in electronic format) but also to focus on a widely observed transition of polymer science, from exploring only macromolecules, polymeric materials, and polymerization processes to become part of a comprehensive study on molecular soft matter science enabling advancements in other related disciplines.
