It is now time for a comprehensive treatise to look at the whole
field of electrochemistry. The present treatise was conceived in
1974, and the earliest invitations to authors for contributions
were made in 1975. The completion of the early volumes has been
delayed by various factors. There has been no attempt to make each
article emphasize the most recent situation at the expense of an
overall statement of the modern view. This treatise is not a
collection of articles from Recent Advances in Electro chemistry or
Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry. It is an attempt at making a
mature statement about the present position in the vast area of
what is best looked at as a new interdisciplinary field. Texas A

Conway Case Western Reserve University Ernest B. Yeager Texas A
& M University Ralph E. White Preface to VoluIJJe 8 The past
three decades have seen the rapid evolution of the transport
aspects of electrochemical engineering into a formal part of
electrochemistry as well as chemical engineering. With minor
exceptions, however, this subject has not been systematically
covered in any treatise or recent electrochemical text. The editors
believe that the treatment in this volume will serve the function.

have affected progress in the field of electrochemistry, the
decision of NASA to use electrochemical auxiliary power in space
vehicles was one of the more important. Another important decision
was Ford's announcement of their sodium-sulfur cell for vehicular
use in 1969.

Conway Case Western Reserve University Ernest Yeager Texas A &
M University Ralph E. White Preface to Volume 8 Experimental
methods in electrochemistry are becoming more diverse. This volume
describes many of the new techniques that are being used as well as
some of the well-established techniques. It begins with two
chapters (1 and 2) on electronic instrumentation and methods for
utilization of microcomputers for experimental data acquisition and
reduction. Next, two chapters (3 and 4) on classical methods of
electrochemical analysis are presented: ion selective electrodes
and polarography.
1.1. Definition of Terms-Thrombosis, Thromboembolic Disease,
Atherosclerosis, and Blood Clotting The terms heart attack or
myocardial infarction are more commonly used than thrombosis. The
infarct-muscle destruction is simply the end result and thrombosis
is the real cause of the heart attack. Thrombosis may be defined as
the process of formation of a coalescent or agglutinated solid mass
of blood components in the blood stream. Thrombi formed in either
arteries or veins often cause occlusion in the vascular system and
prevent blood flow. Obstruc to the blood vessel usually occurs at
the site where the thrombi deposit. tion Furthermore, thrombi may
break loose, travel through the circulating blood stream, and cause
obstruction at some distal point of narrowing elsewhere. The mass
or thrombus that moves is referred to as an "embolus." The two
phenomena are lumped together under the term thromboembolic
disease. Thrombosis that reduces blood supply to the heart is the
primary factor in heart attacks."
