The present volume, the thirty-fourth in the series, surveys research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the literature dated December 1997 to November 1998. In order to limit the size of the volume, we must necessarily exclude or restrict overlap with other publications which review specialist areas (e.g. photochemical reactions, biosynthesis, electrochemistry, organometallic chemistry, surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis). In order to minimize duplication, while ensuring a comprehensive coverage, the Editors conduct a survey of all relevant literature and allocate publications to appropriate chapters. While a particular reference may be allocated to more than one chapter, we do assume that readers will be aware of the alternative chapters to which a borderline topic of interest may have been preferentially assigned.

Unlike survey research studies, in which analysis normally begins only after all the data have been collected, in-depth interview studies allow for the simultaneous collection and analysis of data. Qualitative researchers should attend to their interview transcripts as the research progresses, looking for emerging themes and plausible lines of analysis. Often ideas emerging from earlier interviews are incorporated into later ones, thus allowing the researcher to test preliminary hypotheses during the...

The chemical analytical data on which Table I and Figures 2-5 are based were determined by the Analytical Chemistry Section of the Illinois State Geological Survey. The Survey research reported is sponsored, in part, by Grant No. R-800059 and Contract No. 68-02-0246 from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, Demonstration Projects Branch, Control Systems Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, N. C.

According to the 1999 Ontario Student Dmg Use Survey, researchers note that substance abuse disorders account for the most prevalent mental health conditions in young people. As the abusing population increases, so will future clinical needs of this population. Psilocybin use can precipitate long-term mental illness.

Studies have analyzed the potential of nonchemical weed control technologies to serve as replacements for herbicides in US com production. A Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) committee surveyed research and extension weed scientists in all states and asked them to estimate the percentage yield reductions that would occur if farmers used best management practices without herbicides (Bridges and Anderson, 1992). In the US Com Belt,...

Perhaps the best way to determine the sizeofamar-ket for a value-added pharmacy service is to perform a market research study. Survey research methods can be used to gather information from potential customers. Not only can this information be used to determine the number of potential consumers in a specific area, but it also can provide additional information about consumers that can be useful in developing a value-added pharmacy service (e.g., if/where they currently obtain this service, their level of satisfaction with the service, and their willingness to obtain the service from a pharmacist). Some of the drawbacks of market research...

These and other problems are real and must be addressed if national survey data on drug use are to have the utility that they are intended to have. Fortunately, over the years the challenge to collect accurate survey information has been an active research area, and methods of representative sampling and data collection to assure confidentiality or anonymity of responses have led to better survey design and procedures. These advances have resulted in data that meet high standards of reliability and accuracy. This is not to say that national survey data provide a literal picture of drug use in a population but that the picture is getting clearer and more detailed as survey research methods continue to improve.

The channel of communication is also an important variable in the communication process. Survey researchers have examined the relative credibility of various channels, including print media, radio and television, magazines, and advertising, and have found differences in the degree of trust people have in each. These differences depend not only on the class of channel but also on the specific representative of that class. For example, coverage of a risk issue in a local newspaper may be viewed differently from stories on the same issue in the national press.
