A synoptic survey of the unravelling of the nonoxidative segment is presented in the latest comprehensive review of the PPP (1). The treatment covers the chemistry of reactions, enzymes, methods, tissue distributions, and the mathematical theory for the quantitation of metabolism by a theoretical connection of the pathways of Figs. 1 and 2 into a pentose phosphate cycle (PC).

Are these mercury values for Cranberry Lake streams high or low They a2 e similar to levels reported for Lake Windemere (12 -29 ng/1) by Gardner (1978) and the unpublished work of Harris (1971). on the Oswegatchie River (17 - 72 ng/1) but sonewhat lower than Onondaga Lake, near Syracuse, New York contaminated by chlor-alkali plant residues. Buller s synoptic survey (1972) of mercury in surface waters of the Adirondack Mountain region yielded no samples above 500 ng/1 total mercury and 100 ng/1 soluble mercury. 

Other applications. Over recent years TLC-FID technology has been used by researchers in the petrochemical industry as well as by environmental monitoring groups. Workers in these fields realized the capability of TLC-FID for rapid sample synoptic surveys and screening routines. Most of this work was focused on the rapid characterization of crude oils, coal and petroleum products and the basic characterization of petroleum-contaminated soils. A discussion of TLC-FID applications to petrochemical... 

From an ecological standpoint, an analytical as well as a synoptic survey of the large field of plant water relationships is given in the present volume. The importance of water for plant life is treated from the molecular aspects of the cytoplasm in cells and tissues, and from the whole plant organism on the one hand to ecosystems and vegetation zones on the other. The authors, all specialists in their field, describe the level of our present knowledge, point out the scientific problems that have recently arisen, and show directions of future research. 

In spite of the difficulties occasioned by the war, the English language translation of the monograph by Kurt H. Meyer appeared in 1942 as Volume IV of the Interscience Series on High Polymers Natural and Synthetic High Polymers A Textbook and Reference Book for Chemists and Biologists [16]. While some books become dated very quickly, especially synoptic surveys of a whole field of work, the monograph by Meyer is stiU an essential reference work Much of the detailed information on specific polymers occurs only here. Textbooks tend to...

Cluster sites should be established for synoptic surface water surveys. This approach is discussed in detail in Chapter 3.

The fast changes in the transition area are illustrated in Fig. 19.5, which shows model snapshots of current patterns and of salinity distribution at intervals of 14-28 h. The simulations are carried out with a horizontal grid resolution of 1 nautical mile and reproduce the observations of a ship campaign very well (see Schmidt et al., 1998). This combined approach of field measurements and modeling revealed that the typical processes in the Belt Sea are too fast for a synoptic representation of data measured by ships. During a ship survey of two to three days, currents may change direction several times and a combination of the data into a quasi-synoptic picture may suggest spurious spatial correlations. 

With the present lack of synoptic tools for surveying bacterial abundance, data on the abundance and production of heterotrophic bacteria in the Eastern Mediterranean are more sporadic than for phytoplankton chlorophyll and depend on discrete depth sampling and analysis. The data available are for the Cyprus Eddy in summer (Zohary Robarts, 1992) and in winter (Zohary etal., 1998), and in the Cretan Sea in March and September (van Wambeke etal., 2000), and a general survey of the Levantine Basin in fall (Robarts etal., 1996). Some additional data exists for the Western Mediterranean which will not be reviewed here.

This allows to locate the source areas and track their movement by means of seismic arrays (e.g., Cessaro, 1994 Friedrich et al. 1998, Fig. 5). This possibihty has already been used decades ago by some countries, e.g., in India, for tracking approaching monsoons with seismic networks under the auspices of the Indian Meteorological Survey. While near-shore areas may be the source of both primary and secondary microseisms, the pelagic sources of secondary microseisms meander within the synoptic region of peak storm wave activity. 

Section Dwb of the Isis Cumulative Bibliography, on chemistry in North America, lists only twenty-seven entries (II, Whitrow, 1976,184-185). There has been no synoptic history since Edgar Fahs Smith s Chemistry in America (III, E. F. Smith, 1914 see also III, E. F. Smith, 1927). However, aspects of nineteenth-century American chemistry are treated in III, Beardsley, 1964, and Kenneth L. Taylor has recently provided a two-century survey (III, Taylor, 1976). The American Chemical Society has sponsored historical publications in commemoration of major anniversaries see III, ACS, 1951a III, Browne and Weeks, 1952 III, C EN, 1976 IB, Miles, 1976 and IB, Skolnik and Reese, 1976. A pioneering set of essays on chemical engineering appear in III, Furter (ed.), 1980 and 1982.
