This book discusses the evolution and uses for capillary
electrochromatography as a new dimension to current separation
science. With the emergence of this technique the selection of
available separation mechanisms increases dramatically. The book
also discusses the new horizons in the separation of non-polar
compounds which have been opened as a result of CEC. Over ten
chapters authors cover a wide variety of topics and provide the
reader with necessary theoretical background, description of the
instrumentation, modes of operation and methods of detection and an
overview of the broad variety of applications of capillary
electrochromatography.

World-wide environmental legislation limiting the use of solvent
based ink systems of the preceding decades has resulted in the
development of a substitute and more environmentally safe
alternative utilizing water base technologies. This has resulted in
an enormous research and development effort by a multiplicity of
related industries. Because of the tremendous evolution brought
about by these changing technologies it has been extremely
difficult for the water base ink chemist to keep abreast of the
latest innovations. This book provides a working knowledge of the
chemistry and technology of water base ink systems for chemists and
engineers in the industry. It provides a foundation in all aspects
of the industry, from the perception of color theory to the final
starting point formulations. The articles in this volume have been
specifically picked out to enlighten some of the most difficult
problem areas in formulation and development. Highly practical, it
is written by authors with many years of experience in the
industry, ensuring commercial relevance throughout.
Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed
review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical
research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and
its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports
charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form
of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry
could no longer be contained within one volume and the series
Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports
themselves still existed but were divided into two, and
subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and
Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in
chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has
altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various
fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while
others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some
have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be
discontinued.
The ultimate guide to the smells of the universe - the ambrosial to
the malodorous, and everything in between - from the author of the
acclaimed culinary guides On Food and Cooking and Keys to Good
Cooking From Harold McGee, James Beard Award-winning author and
leading expert on the science of food and cooking, comes an
extensive exploration of the long-overlooked world of smell. In
Nose Dive, McGee takes us on a sensory adventure, from the
sulfurous nascent earth more than four billion years ago, to the
fruit-filled Tian Shan mountain range north of the Himalayas, to
the keyboard of your laptop, where trace notes of phenol and
formaldehyde escape between the keys. We'll sniff the ordinary (wet
pavement and cut grass) and the extraordinary (ambergris and
truffles), the delightful (roses and vanilla) and the challenging
(swamplands and durians). We'll smell one another. We'll smell
ourselves. Through it all, McGee familiarizes us with the actual
bits of matter that we breathe in-the molecules that trigger our
perceptions, that prompt the citrusy smells of coriander and beer
and the medicinal smells of daffodils and sea urchins. And like
everything in the physical world, molecules have histories. Many of
the molecules that we smell every day existed long before any
creature was around to smell them-before there was even a planet
for those creatures to live on. Beginning with the origins of those
molecules in interstellar space, McGee moves onward through the
smells of our planet, the air and the oceans, the forest and the
meadows and the city, all the way to the smells of incense,
perfume, wine, and food. Here is a story of the world, of every
smell under our collective nose. A work of astounding scholarship
and originality, Nose Dive distills the science behind the smells
and translates it, as only McGee can, into an accessible and
entertaining guide. Incorporating the latest insights of biology
and chemistry, and interweaving them with personal observations, he
reveals how our sense of smell has the power to expose invisible,
intangible details of our material world and trigger in us feelings
that are the very essence of being alive.
Carbohydrate Chemistry provides review coverage of all publications
relevant to the chemistry of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides
in a given year. The amount of research in this field appearing in
the organic chemical literature is increasing because of the
enhanced importance of the subject, especially in areas of
medicinal chemistry and biology. In no part of the field is this
more apparent than in the synthesis of oligosaccharides required by
scientists working in glycobiology. Clycomedicinal chemistry and
its reliance on carbohydrate synthesis is now very well
established, for example, by the preparation of specific
carbohydrate- based antigens, especially cancer-specific
oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. Coverage of topics such as
nucleosides, amino-sugars, alditols and cyclitols also covers much
research of relevance to biological and medicinal chemistry. Each
volume of the series brings together references to all published
work in given areas of the subject and serves as a comprehensive
database for the active research chemist Specialist Periodical
Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage in major
areas of chemical research. Compiled by teams of leading
authorities in the relevant subject areas, the series creates a
unique service for the active research chemist, with regular,
in-depth accounts of progress in particular fields of chemistry.
Subject coverage within different volumes of a given title is
similar and publication is on an annual or biennial basis.
Marie Curie (1867-1934) was one of the most important woman
scientists in history, and she was one of the most influential
scientists--man or woman--of the 20th century. Curie postulated
that radiation was an atomic property, a discovery that has led to
significant scientific developments since. She was also the first
person to use the term "radioactivity." Her perseverance led to the
discovery of two new elements, polonium and radium. This
combination of creativity and perseverance netted her two Nobel
Prizes, one in physics and the second in chemistry. This book,
however, looks at more than her scientific achievements. While
Curie is often portrayed as a stern, one-dimensional woman so
totally committed to her science that she was incapable of complex
emotions, the truth is that the opposite is the case. Marie Curie:
A Biography covers her entire lifetime, beginning with her early
life and education in a Poland under the oppressive rule of the
czar of Russia. The book discusses all aspects--both personal and
scientific--of her fascinating life:
- Her education at the Sorbonne in Paris, where she earned the
equivalent of two master's degrees--one in physics and a second in
mathematics
- Her marriage to Pierre Curie, with whom she collaborated on
much of her scientific work
- The personal scandal that surrounded Marie in the aftermath of
Pierre's tragic death
- The Nobel Prize awards, and the detractors who believed that
her work was actually performed by her husband
- Curie's work in establishing mobile X-ray units during World
War I, and the establishment of radium institutes to study
radiation
Running throughout there is the much of thebook is the tension
between radium as a positive discovery and, on the other hand, the
health risks that working with it presents. The book includes a
timeline of important events in Curie's life and a bibliography of
important primary and secondary sources.
Die Behandlung der Leguminosen in der Chemotaxonomie der Pflanzen
wird mit Band XIb-1 fortgesetzt. In ihm werden die von den
Caesalpinioideae und Mimosoideae bekannt gewordenen Naturstoffe im
Rahmen der natA1/4rlichen Klassifikation der Familie besprochen.
Der Teilband enthAlt A1/4ber 2000 Literaturhinweise sowie ein
eigenes Pflanzennamen- und Stichwortregister. Hegnauer's
Chemotaxonomie is an indispensable handbook for all those
scientific disciplines concerned with not only systematic botany,
but all aspects of the plant world. Both text and bibliography
reflect our present knowledge of the particularities of plant
metabolism. The last volume of Chemotaxonomy of Plants treats
Leguminosae in three parts. XIa.: General aspects. XIB-1:
Phytochemistry and chemotaxonomy of Caesalpinioideae and
Mimosoideae. XIb-2: Phytochemistry and chemotaxonomy of
Papilionoideae (in preparation). These three volumes form a
valuable tool for everyone with an interest in the Leguminosae.
They are not only relevant to plant taxonomists, plant
physiologists, and natural product chemists but also to ecologists,
agriculturists, nutritional scientists, pharmacists,
pharmacologists and ethnobotanists. The cosmopolitan Leguminosae
cover approximately 600 genera and 13000 species including many
economically and ethnobotanically important plants. Each of the
three volumes devoted to Leguminosae contains a taxonomic index, a
subject index and over 2000 references.
This volume is a collection of contributions to the FT-IR Workshop
held under the auspices of the Spectroscopy Society of Canada and
organ ized by Professor Theophile Theophanides, Director of the
Workshop. The gathering of leading spectroscopists and researchers
at Gray Rocks to discuss .Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
was the occasion of the 29th Annual Conference of the Spectroscopy
Society of Canada. The plea sant surroundings of Gray Rocks,
St-Jovite, Quebec, Canada contributed most positively to the
success of the two-day Workshop held September 30, October 1, 1982.
The preliminary program and the proceedings were distributed at the
Workshop by Multiscience Publications Ltd. The publication of this
volume provides the occasion to thank all the contributors for

Aerosol therapy has significantly improved the treatment of a
variety of respiratory diseases. Besides the treatment of
respiratory diseases there is currently also a great interest to
use the lungs as a portal to introduce drugs for systemic therapy.
The success of therapy with the application of aerosolized
medicaments depends on the possibility to deliver the proper amount
of drug to the appropriate sites in the respiratory system, thus
limiting the side effects to a minimum. Aerosolized delivery of
drugs to the lung is optimized if, for a given chemical composition
of a medicine, the target of deposition and the required mass of
drug to be deposited are precisely defined.
The next step is the specification of the number of respirable
particles or droplets, to be generated by appropriate devices.
Another very important factor for successful aerosol therapy is the
condition of the patient coupled with his or her inhalation
technique.

After more than twenty years of use Good Laboratory Practice, or
GLP, has attained a secure place in the world of testing chemicals
and other "test items" with regard to their safety for humans and
the environment. Gone are the days when the GLP regulations were
hotly debated amongst scientists in academia and industry and were
accused of stifling flexibility in, imaginative approaches to, and
science-based conduct of, all kinds of studies concerned with toxic
effects and other parameters important for the evaluation and
assessment of products submitted for registration and permission to
market. The GLP regulations have developed from rules on how to
exactly document the planning, conduct and reporting of toxicity
studies to a quality system for the management of a multitude of
study types, from the simple determination of a physical/chemical
parameter to the most complex field studies or ecotoxicology
studies. At the same time the term "Good Laboratory Practice" has
become somewhat of a slogan with the aim to characterise any
reliably conducted laboratory work.
