Unknown Problems

Pyrazinamide (generic) is used primarily as an adjunct to other drugs in treating tuberculosis. This drug s mechanism of action against M. tuberculosis is unknown. Problems associated with pyrazinamide include hepatotoxicity and lower-extremity joint pain. 

Chapter 7 has been propounded as though unknown problems were being resolved by the authors. Not so. It was inevitable that the authors knew the structures. The students inevitably consulted the structures as they worked through the explications. The experience, therefore, has been more rationalization of the given structures than analysis of spectra. Nonetheless, the experience was worthwhile. 

Another type of apparently pseudo -reference electrode involves the use of A1 wires in contact with solutions containing AlCb ions [41], A further group of researchers simply use conventional aqueous solution-based calomel or silver/silver chloride/aqueous chloride ion reference electrodes [42-44], These are included in Table 11.1 for illustration and completeness. The use of such electrodes is highly likely to lead to the introduction of water into the RTIL system in contact with the reference electrode, as well as to unknown problems in respect of LJPs. Properties such as voltammetric windows, diffusion coefficients and RTIL viscosity are all likely to be highly sensitive to trace amounts of water [45]. 

It was stated above that the detection threshold of odours for a typical sensor based electronic nose was around the ppm level and so the detection of very low concentrations (ppb or below) of an explosive is a considerable challenge. Nevertheless, this is not an unknown problem in the field of olfaction. Many of the key olfactory compounds of a product occur in its headspace at the ppb level or lower and so a number of strategies are emerging to enhance the performance of sensor-based electronic noses.

This chapter contains relatively simple NMR unknown problems. The molecular weight or empirical formula of the molecule is sometimes given, and it is up to the reader to elucidate the structure of the unknown. If you are an instructor and wish to confirm that you have the correct structure, you may contact the author via e-mail at j simpson mit. edu. 

Stating that one chemical is safer than another is fraught with challenges and that is why many avoid it. It would be simpler to state that a chemical such as decaBDE should be avoided because of the hazards it poses, period, with no discussion of whether the alternatives are safer. Yet avoiding the question of whether the alternatives are safer may result in a decision to substitute a known problem chemical with an unknown problem chemical—to move from the proverbial, "frying pan, into the fire."... 

The second method is to use fluorocarbons in which oxygen is physically dissolved about 10 times of water. Fluorocarbons are chemically stable and do not show any biological reaction. 20-35 vol% of fluorocarbons such as triperfluorobutylamine and perfluorodecalin are emulsifided in the presence of a surfactant. The white emulsion stays in a blood circular over several days when the mriticle size of fluorocarbon is smaller than 0.1 p. The fluorocarbon emulsion has been tried experimentally in hundreds of patients in Japan and the U.S. But there also still remain problems. The emulsion carries only 5 ml oxygen per 100 ml malium and a patient is to be kept under an oxygen tent. Fluorocarbons are so much radically different in their chemical properties from natural Hb, that there is still a possibility to cause unknown problems in an in vivo system. 

In light of the above, we are convinced that MIPs will play an ever more important role in chemistry presenting solutions to currently known or unknown problems. 

Thus, from the given relation tig = 14 ), we are able to calculate 2 and then the solution proceeds as before. However, the reader cannot consider this relation together with a given rate of reaction or conversion as two independent relations. To make this point even clearer, let us consider the same problem but with five flow rates unknown (meaning it is a six unknowns problem because of the single reaction) (Fig. 2.11). 

Will humans ever be able to solve this problem If humans possessed the same limitations on computation as computers, then they would never be able to solve this (and many other) problems. However, math and science, as disciplines, assume that unknown problems with definite answers will eventually be knowable. Simply stated, the progress of science depends on the ability of humans to eventually solve such problems as these.
