A primary aim of the NATO Science Committee since its estab
lishment in 1958 has been to. further international scientific co
operation among scientists from the member countries of the
Alliance. Almost all fields of basic science have received sub
stantial support for the purposes of enhancing exchange of inform
ation, providing opportunities for advanced instruction and
collaborative research. Up to 1977, more than 10,000 fellowships
have been awarded to allow scientists to complete their scientific
education in another country and more than 1,500 joint research
projects involving scientists in at least two different countries
per project have been financed by the Committee. In addition, more
than 800 advanced study institutes have been held under NATO
auspices which have allowed more than sixty thousand scientists to
get together to hear leading scientists lecture on advanced
research topics on the frontier of research of many disciplines and
to discuss the most recent results of their research activi ties.
The Science Committee also identifies specific areas as deserving
special encouragement or preferential support for limited periods.
A variety of mechanisms - research grants, study visits,
conferences, etc. - is utilized to stimulate greater international
activity. This effort is embodied in several individual programmes,
each guided by a special programme panel of internationally eminent
experts. Air-sea interaction is one of these programmes."
Chemical nomenclature is used to identify a chemical species by
means of written or spoken words and enables a common language for
communication amongst chemists. Nomenclature for chemical compounds
additionally contains an explicit or implied relationship to the
structure of the compound, in order that the reader or listener can
deduce the structure from the name. This purpose requires a system
of principles and rules, the application of which gives rise to a
systematic nomenclature. Of course, a wide range of traditional
names, semisystematic or trivial, are also in use for a core group
of common compounds. Detailing the latest rules and international
practice, this new volume can be considered a guide to the
essential organic chemical nomenclature, commonly described as the
"Blue Book". An invaluable source of information for organic
chemists everywhere and the definitive guide for scientists working
in academia or industry, for scientific publishers of books,
journals and databases, and for organisations requiring
internationally approved nomenclature in a legal or regulatory
environment.
