With the new global tectonics approach in the Earth Sciences, the quan­ titative aspects of the dynamics of rock-forming processes came into focus: geologists are no longer satisfied knowing the pressure-tempera­ ture ...

In 1931 Vrey, Brickwedde, and Murphy discovered the hydrogen isotope deuterium. The isotopic enrichment was found to arise from the fact that the electrolysis oflight water is faster than of heavy water [1,2]. This success...

In recent years, there has been a major expansion of high pressure research providing unique information about systems of interest to a wide range of scientific disciplines. Since nuclear magnetic resonance has been applied to...

Lattice defects of organic molecular crystals affect their optical or electrical properties by changing the local energy structure. Lattice defects also playa very important role in the chemical and physical properties, for...

Almost two centuries ago proteins were recognized as the primary materials (proteios = primary) oflife, but the significance and wide role of peptides (from pepsis = digestion) in practically all life pro­ cesses has only...

Louis Lewin war als Toxikologe und Autor mehrerer weltweit verbreiteter Fachbiicher eine markante Gelehrtenpersonlichkeit des Berliner Geisteslebens im ausgehenden 19. und im ersten Viertel des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein ...

The author presents examples of coal deposits two different continents: from the European Carboniferous and the Permian Gondwana sequence of Australia. The organic and petrographic composition of the coal content of ...

This book is intended primarily for exploration geologists and post­ graduate students attending specialist courses in mineral exploration. Exploration geologists are engaged not only in the search for new mineral deposits, but...

The use of antibiotics in the treatment by antibacterial and antifungal chemo­ therapy, has become standard practice since the end of World War Two and has had an enormous impact on healthcare throughout the world. Compounds...

Progress in biological and biochemical research is based mainly on a better understanding of life processes. Controlled manipulation of the structure of biological mac- romolecules and the synthesis of biomimetic models are the...

The progress of materials science depends on the development of novel materials and the development of novel experimental techniques. The research on graphite intercalation compounds combines both aspects: new compounds with...

EJB Reviews 1989 offer the collection of all reviews published in the European Journal of Biochemistry in one handy volume. This series of review articles by leading scientists covers emerging and rapidly growing fields of...

After many years of sterile arms control negotiations between the super powers, which did not produce a single genuine disarmament measure - and sometimes had the opposite effect of stimulating the development of new weapons to...

This first International Workshop on Auger Spectroscopy and Electronic Struc­ ture - IWASES 1, held in Giardini-Naxos, Sicily, Italy, grew out of a number of longstanding collaborations between the various Institutes of Physics...

New methods for the determination of the nature, proportion, and distribution of structural defects in microcrystallized lamellar systems are of utmost importance not only to experimentalists but also to theoreticians...

"Adhesion and Friction: Microscopic Concepts" was the theme of the third workshop on interface phenomena organized jointly by the surface science groups at Dalhousie University and the University of Maine. The first two...

The summer school on "Silicon: Materials Science and Technology" was held at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice, Sicily. It was the 16th course of a series in the International School of Materials...

Over the past few years there has been a remarkable and rapid development of modern analytical methods, and the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry have been no exception. In addition to being able to do...

The Karl Fischer titration is used in many different ways following its publication in 1935 and further applications are continually being explored. At the present time we are experiencing another phase of expansion, as shown...

The intensification of the production of silicate materials and products makes a de­ tailed theoretical study of the processes underlying their manufacture and service more and more urgent. The thermodynamic method is of great...

The revolutionary impetus of the NMR methods in organic chemistry has parallels in the field of boron chemistry. lIB NMR spectroscopy provided a basis for the elucida­ tion of structures and reactions of the boron hydrides...
