Titles chemical publications

The abbreviations used in the references for titles of journals and periodicals are those used in BP publications practice and conform closely to the recommendations of the Chemical Abstracts system. Abbreviations which have been used to indicate textbook and reference book sources of information are set out below with the full titles and publication details. 

Chemical Abstracts (Dl) is undoubtedly the most convenient and comprehensive reference source, particularly since 1962 when a section devoted to organometallic and organometalloidal compounds was introduced. Information concerning books, review articles, and conferences is, however, extremely brief, and usually the subject matter of a particular entry must be judged solely from the title. Comparable publications in other languages include Chemisches Informationsdienst (D2) and Refera-tivnyi Zhumal, Khimya. 

Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) The U.S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) also known as the Community Right-To-Know Act or SARA, Title III provides for the collection and public release of information about the presence and release of hazardous or toxic chemicals in the nation s communities. The law requires... 

Submission of EPA Form R. the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form, Is required by section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community RIght-to-Know Act (Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthoiizatlon Act of 1986), Public Law 99-499. The Information contained in Form R constitutes a report, and the submission of a report to the appropriate authorities constitutes reporting. ... 

This is also known as Title III of SARA, EPCRA was enacted by Congress as the mitioiml legislation on community safety. This law was designed to help local communities protect public health, safety, and the environment from chemical hazards. To implement EPCRA, Congress required each state to appoint a State Emergency Response Commission (SERC). The SERCs were... 

The new law is more specific than tlie original statute witli regard to remedies to be used at Superfund sites, public participation, and accomplislmicnt of cleanup activities. The most important part of SARA with respect to public participation is Title III. wliich addresses the important issues of community awareness and participation in the event of a chemical release. 

Public concerns about air quality led to the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970 to amendments to that act in 1977 and 1990. The 1990 amendments contained seven separate titles covering different regula-toiy programs and include requirements to install more advanced pollution control equipment and make other changes in industrial operations to reduce emissions of air pollutants. The 1990 amendments address sulfur dioxide emissions and acid rain deposition, nitrous oxide emissions, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide emissions, particulate emissions, tail pipe emissions, evaporative emissions, reformulated gasoline, clean-fueled vehicles and fleets, hazardous air pollutants, solid waste incineration, and accidental chemical releases. 

In 1923. Lewis published a classic book (later reprinted by Dover Publications) titled Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules. Here, in Lewis s characteristically lucid style, we find many of the basic principles of covalent bonding discussed in this chapter. Included are electron-dot structures, the octet rule, and the concept of electronegativity. Here too is the Lewis definition of acids and bases (Chapter 15). That same year, Lewis published with Merle Randall a text called Thermodynamics and the Free Energy of Chemical Substances. Today, a revised edition of that text is still used in graduate courses in chemistry. 

Some 50 years have now passed since the publication of a series of papers bearing the title The Nature of the Chemical Bond. 1 7 These papers have provided chemists, physicists, biologists, and mineralogists with the conceptual framework, based on simple valence bond theory and the theory of hybrid bond orbitals, required to investigate a myriad of problems involving the nature of the bonding exhibited in molecules and solids. The ideas contained in these papers were subsequently elaborated on in The Nature of the Chemical Bond which is probably the most often-cited book in the scientific literature.9... 

Information was gleaned from each original publication except where an additional reference to Chemical Abstracts is included. Each citation of a Russian journal or Angewandte Chemie refers to the original Russian or German version, not to any subsequent English translation. Abbreviations for journal titles are those recommended in the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (1994) and quarterly supplements. 

However, if one lacks access to these, one may consult Chemical Titles and the keyword index (p. 1611) at the end of each issue of CA. In these cases, of course, it is necessary to know what name might be used for the compound. The name is not necessary for Index Chemicus (p. 1622) one consults the formula indexes. However, these methods are far from complete. Index Chemicus lists primarily new compounds, those which would not have been found in the earlier search. As for chemical Titles, the compound can be found only if it is mentioned in the title. The keyword indexes in CA are more complete, being based on internal subject matter as well as title, but they are by no means exhaustive. Furthermore, all three of these publications lag some distance behind the original journals. To locate all references to a compound after the period covered by the latest semiannual formula index of CA, it is necessary to use CAS-online. 

The active state of luminescence spectrometry today may be judged ly an examination of the 1988 issue of Fundamental Reviews of Analytical Chemistry (78), which divides its report titled Molecular Fluorescence, Phosphorescence, and Chemiluminescence Spectrometry into about 27 specialized topical areas, depending on how you choose to count all the subdivisions. This profusion of luminescence topics in Fundamental Reviews is just the tip of the iceberg, because it omits all publications not primarily concerned with analytical applications. Fundamental Reviews does, however, represent a good cross-section of the available techniques because nearly every method for using luminescence in scientific studies eventually finds a use in some form of chemical analysis. Since it would be impossible to mention here all of the current important applications and developments in the entire universe of luminescence, this report continues with a look at progress in a few current areas that seem significant to the author for their potential impact on future work. 

UltraLinks are not limited to unzoned text. They can be generated specifically on titles, abstract, full text publications, graphs, and chemical structures. Figure 31.3D shows a record from Medline-Embase where the abstract... 

The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AlChE) list, in their publications catalogue (Next Century Tools for Today s Process Industries), a number of titles relevant to chemical risk and chemical risk analysis.
