University textbooks

While writing this book, I checked in 10 current and widely used university textbooks of biochemistry for science students. Not a single one of them showed the correct structure. Seven of them plainly showed the obsolete Meyer-Bemfeld structure of these, five mentioned glycogenin, albeit in another context, but the other two ignored it. Of the others, two did not show sufficient information for me to know whether their text referred to the real structure or not, and the last drew a complete structure in such a vague way that I could not be certain what stracture it was supposed to be, but most likely the Meyer-Bemfeld stracture was intended there as well. All is not necessarily lost, however, as 1 do know of one textbook intended for medical students that shows the structure of glycogen correctly.

Previous editions of Vogel s Qualitative Inorganic Analysis were used mainly as university textbooks— With the advent of more complex, mainly instrumental techniques, teaching of the reactions of ions and traditional qualitative analysis has moved from the classroom almost entirely into the laboratory. When preparing the sixth edition, this fact had to be taken into consideration. 

The apparent interest of chemists in joining the chemical societies is evident from the tables and the previous chapters. Therefore let us consider what made the societies attractive to the chemical community and ponder on their multiple roles, although it is not possible to specify here all functions the societies took on as shown in the individual chapters. It is observable that the key tasks and activities were common to many of the societies across national boundaries. As mentioned already, the edition and publication of an in-house journal was given high priority in most societies. Besides journals, several societies published or subsidized university textbooks, handbooks, monographs or other chemical literature. 

As already stated in the introduction to this chapter, the present material is largely novel, and only a few relevant references are available. The neceessary mathematics is expounded in university textbooks we have applied the theorems given in Dieudonne (1970). The approach to the observability/redundancy analysis as presented here can be characterized as equation-oriented cf. Romagnoli and Stephanopoulos (1980), or Crowe (1989). For another (graph-oriented) approach, see Stanley and Mah (1981a and b), Kretsovalis and Mah (1988), summarized in Mah (1990). 

Frederick Gowland Hopkins, a preeminent biochemist known for his discovery of tryptophan, glutathione, and the requirement for vitamins in the human diet (which earned him a Nobel Prize in 1929), invited Muriel in 1914 to join his research group in Cambridge (Fig. 7.3). There, she wrote The Anthocyanin Pigments of Plants (and also a revised edition, published in 1925) and a university textbook. Practical Plant Biochemistry, and focused her research on the oxidative reactions with anthocyanins. 

We have endeavored, in contrast to university textbooks, to work up the material primarily from the point of view of practical application, i.e., to show the possibilities of organic analysis and to help laboratory workers in the choice of suitable methods and procedures. Organic analysis has no systematic method analogous to the hydrogen sulfide method of inorganic analysis, and it has, therefore, to combine several methods a satisfactory result depends on the ability of the analyst to utilize these procedures and to interpret their results correctly. 

Structure of the discipline orientation The iimer structure of the academic scientific discipline (chemistry) is used for structuring the curriculum. The basic focus is the learning of scientific theories and facts and their relation to one another. The school chemistry curriculum looks like a light version of a university textbook in general chemistry. This orientation is near to the FC curriculum emphasis outlined above.

Thus, the periodic system was introduced as part and parcel of a French battle for the atomic theory. When the atomic weight notation and system supported by Wurtz became compulsory in the official curricula for secondary education, a new generation of textbook authors clearly announced the adoption of the atomic theory in their titles. However, only a few of them included the chemical properties observed by a Russian chemist in the package of the atomic theory. And even in their secondary school and university textbooks, the old hybrid natural/artificial classification proved extremely resilient. 

A final point was the need for a textbook, and more specifically, a textbook that would also be English as a Second Language (ESL) friendly. The textbook itself would include cases, case questions, examples, and resources for further learning, but would also avoid being overly US- or Western-centric, both in its examples as well as in its language. The student s comments as well as those from other faculty were incorporated into the development of a subsequent university textbook, which is available on-line here http //www.med.hku.hk/vl/research/research-ethics/other-informationreferences/...

Growing university research ensures that users and specifiers will continue to become more sophisticated in their methodology and more demanding of manufacturers. Excellent textbooks are available for both students and practicing engineers (53,64). 

The book is intended for engineers, scientists, seniors at the university level, and graduate students who have a fundamental understanding of the concept of fluid flow, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. The handbook bridges the disciplines of engineering and occupational health and safety (industrial hygiene). The book can be used as a textbook, a scientific reference for researchers, and a fundamental handbook for practitioners in the industrial air technology field. 

The task of relating carbohydrate configurations to names requhes either a world-class memory or an easily recalled mnemonic. A mnemonic that serves us well here was popularized by the husband-wife tean of Louis F. Fieser and Mary Fieser of Harvard University in their- 1956 textbook. Organic Chemistry. As with many mnemonics, it s not clear- who actually invented it, and references to this particular- one appeared in the chemical education literature before publication of the Fiesers text. The mnemonic has two features (1) a system for setting down all the stereoisorneric D-aldohexoses in a logical order and (2) a way to assign the correct name to each one. 

I have assumed that the reader has no prior knowledge of concepts specific to computational chemistry, but has a working understanding of introductory quantum mechanics and elementary mathematics, especially linear algebra, vector, differential and integral calculus. The following features specific to chemistry are used in the present book without further introduction. Adequate descriptions may be found in a number of quantum chemistry textbooks (J. P. Lowe, Quantum Chemistry, Academic Press, 1993 1. N. Levine, Quantum Chemistry, Prentice Hall, 1992 P. W. Atkins, Molecular Quantum Mechanics, Oxford University Press, 1983). 

Frank C. Whitmore (1887-1947) was born in North Attleboro. Massachusetts, and received his Ph.D. at Harvard working with E. L. Jackson. He was professor of chemistry at Minnesota, Northwestern, and the Pennsylvania State University. Nicknamed "Rocky," he wrote an influential advanced textbook in organic chemistry.
