Recent developments m calorimetry have focused primarily on the calorimetry of biochemical systems, with the study of complex systems such as micelles, protems and lipids using microcalorimeters. Over the last 20 years microcalorimeters of various types including flow, titration, dilution, perfiision calorimeters and calorimeters used for the study of the dissolution of gases, liquids and solids have been developed. A more recent development is pressure-controlled scamiing calorimetry [26] where the thennal effects resulting from varying the pressure on a system either step-wise or continuously is studied. 

Both extreme models of surface heterogeneity presented above can be readily used in computer simulation studies. Application of the patch wise model is amazingly simple, if one recalls that adsorption on each patch occurs independently of adsorption on any other patch and that boundary effects are neglected in this model. For simplicity let us assume here the so-called two-dimensional model of adsorption, which is based on the assumption that the adsorbed layer forms an individual thermodynamic phase, being in thermal equilibrium with the bulk uniform gas. In such a case, adsorption on a uniform surface (a single patch) can be represented as... 

Because hydrolytic reactions are reversible, they are seldom carried out in batch wise processes [26,28,36,70]. The reactor is usually a double jacket cylindrical flask fitted with a reflux condenser, magnetic stirrer, and thermometer connected with an ultrathermostat. The catalyst is added to the reaction mixture when the desired temperature has been reached [71,72]. A nitrogen atmosphere is used when the reactants are sensitive to atmospheric oxygen [36]. Dynamic methods require more complicated, but they have been widely used in preparative work as well as in kinetic studies of hydrolysis [72-74]. The reaction usually consists of a column packed with a layer of the resin and carrying a continuous flow of the reaction mixture. The equilibrium can...

The earliest reports of controlled release steroids were those of Jackanicz (63), Yolles (64), Anderson (65), and Wise (66). Most of those early studies were based on poly[ (L+)-lactic acid). Implants and granular particles were fabricated with progesterone, norgestrel, and norethisterone. In vivo urinary excretion studies were conducted on [I Cjprogesterone beads (64). The reported results were somewhat questionable as only 20% of the original implanted drug could be accounted for. 

Various antimalarial drugs have been studied in biodegradable delivery systems. Wise (89) reported the use of a lactide/glycolide copolymer and also poly(L-lactic acid) for release of drugs such as quinazoline and sulfadiazine. Although in vitro data and experiments in mice were somewhat encouraging, these early formulations failed to reach significant clinical status. 

In his book States of Matter, [(1985), Prentice Hall, Dover] David L. Goodstein writes Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously. ... 

An MRL of 0.1 ppm was derived for intermediate inhalation exposure (15-364 days) to trichloroethylene. This MRL was based on a study by Arito et al. (1994a) in which male JCL-Wistar rats were exposed to 0, 50, 100, or 300 ppm trichloroethylene for 6 weeks, 5 days/week, 8 hours/day. A LOAEL of 50 ppm was observed for decreased wakefulness during exposure, and decreased postexposure heart rate and slow wave sleep. Another study with rats found an increase in sleep-apneic episodes and cardiac arrhythmias after exposure to trichloroethylene (Arito et al. 1993). These results corroborate similar effects observed in humans exposed to trichloroethylene, as described in the previous paragraph, as well as evidence of organic solvent-induced sleep apnea in humans (Edling et al. 1993 Monstad et al. 1987, 1992 Wise et al. 1983).

After an extensive review of MMCT transitions involving ions in solids, it seems wise to start this paragraph with some molecular species, because many of these have been investigated in much more detail than their counterparts in non-molecular solids. It is suitable to make a distinction between outer-sphere charge-transfer (OSCT) and inner-sphere charge-transfer (ISCT) transitions [1], In the former the metal ions do not have ligands in common, in the latter they are connected by a common ligand. Studies are usually performed on metal-ion pairs in solution. 

Frozen reference materials have been produced by NIST (Wise et al. 1993). These materials do not have the disadvantages of the oils or freeze-dried materials, but are more difficult to transport. Obviously they have to be kept deep-frozen during transport, which makes their use rather expensive. Since the early 1990 s a new approach in this field has been introduced. This concerned the use of wet, sterilized fish and shellfish samples. These samples, packed in glass jars or in tins, were firstly used in the QUASIMEME program as reference materials for inter-laboratory studies (de Boer 1997). Later, when it appeared that the stability was maintained for longer periods, tests for organic contaminants based on this principle were also prepared. 

This manuscript deals with the truth of the more ancient philosophy. The study of that philosophy which is despised only by the wicked and foolish, but is praised and admired by the wise.
