Who Should Use This Book

Two important questions remain Who should use this book and How should this book be used ... 

Sason Yes, Usha. Let s stop here since we have ahead a very long lecture. I preferred to group the 3D and architectural topics in a single lecture because of the affinity of the topics. But, I think the teachers who will use this book should consider splitting it into two lectures and starting the second one with intermolecular interactions. This second lecture may be accompanied by some demos described at the end of the lecture. 

Readers who should find this book useful include polymer scientists and engineers working in academic and industrial sectors, as well as vegetable-oil chemists and researchers involved in the broader sustainability of exploitation of renewable resources, green chemistry and implementation of bio-refineries. 

The Basics of Chemistry is written for students beginning a formal study of chemistry. These readers are primarily high school and college students enrolled in their first chemistry course. In addition to these students, individuals who are not enrolled in a chemistry course but would like a general overview of the subject should find this book helpful. Teachers of all grades may use The Basics of Chemistry as a general reference on the subject. 

Many readers, who are not in a position to set up a specied development project, or who do not wish to do so, will be using this book simply as an aid to learning from their experience of everyday management tasks. You should nevertheless find this chapter relevant to developing your creative ability to stent up any new venture - a normal part of the management process if you are not to remain trapped in routine. 

If you are one of the many people who want to pass the A+ exam, and pass it confidently, then you should buy this book and use it to study for the exam. The A+ Core Hardware Service Technician exam is designed to measure essential competencies for an entry-level PC technician. The Operating System Technologies exam is intended to certify that the exam candidate has the necessary skills to work on microcomputer hardware and typically will have at least 6 months of on-the-job experience. This book was written with one goal in mind to prepare you for the challenges of the real IT world, not j ust to pass the A+ exams. This study guide will do that by describing in detail the concepts on which you ll be tested. 

The principal users of the present book should probably be the following the graduate student or the research chemist who may have had no personal experience in performing a particular reaction covered in this book and who would like to find quickly the details for appropriate conditions to accomplish a certain reaction which may be completely outside the steroid field the steroid chemist, who will find some very useful (and often complete) listings of topics important to his work, and who can use this material in conjunction with a complete book such as Fieser and Fieser s Steroids and, finally, that rapidly becoming extinct breed of organic chemist, the literature browser, who will encounter stimuli to ponder a multitude of unsolved problems. 

C. Daniel, App/ications of Statistics to lndustria/Experimentation, ]oE Wiley Sons, Inc., New York, 1976. This book is based on the personal experiences and insights of the author, an eminent practitioner of industrial appHcations of experimental design. It provides extensive discussions and concepts, especially in the areas of factorial and fractional factorial designs. "The book should be of use to experimenters who have some knowledge of elementary statistics and to statisticians who want simple explanations, detailed examples, and a documentation of the variety of outcomes that may be encountered." Some of the unusual features are chapters on "Sequences of fractional repHcates" and "Trend-robust plans," and sections entided, "What is the answer (what is the question )," and "Conclusions and apologies."... 

MW heated reactions in homogeneous media, using either neat reagents or in the presence of solvents, may also be performed at atmospheric pressure. This approach has been used particularly by Bose et al. [17]. (MORE Chemistry), who reported, for example, the rapid synthesis of heterocycles [18] in open vessels. Another approach, which avoids hazards due to the flammability of solvents, is to perform the reactions under reflux in a MW oven, which is modified to allow the reaction vessel to be attached to a reflux condenser outside the MW oven [7, 19]. It should be pointed out, however, that most of the available evidence shows that rate enhancements of MW heated reactions in homogeneous media at atmospheric pressure are small or nonexistent [19], This will be discussed in more detail later in this review (see also Chapt. 5 of this book). 

Many readers who do not have ready access to assistance have expressed the desire for solutions manuals to be available. This book, which is a successor to the old Volume 5, is an attempt to satisfy this demand as far as the problems in Volumes 2 and 3 are concerned. It should be appreciated that most engineering problems do not have unique solutions, and they can also often be solved using a variety of different approaches. If therefore the reader arrives at a different answer from that in the book, it does not necessarily mean that it is wrong. 

This book should be useful to researchers and undergraduate students who carry out research in the field, and to managers and management consultants in the chemical industry who will gain a clear picture of what this technology is all about and how it can be used to solve their specific problems. 

The book is directed to third- to fourth-year undergraduate and postgraduate chemistry and chemical engineering students, as well as to researchers and developers in the chemical industry. The book is also intended for chemical engineers in industry who either have not kept up with modern developments or are considering use of this technique, as well as engineers who already are using this technique but desire to understand it better. Furthermore, the book should be useful to researchers in solvent extraction who wish to learn about its applications in areas other than their own.
