There is no doubt that we have, during the last decade, moved into a "golden age" of condensed matter science. The sequence of discoveries of novel new states of matter and their rapid assimilation into experimental and...

Natural polymers, such as proteins, starch, cellulose, hevea rubber, and gum which have been available for centuries, have been applied as materials for food, leather, sizings, fibers, structures, waterproofing, and coatings...

June 1986 brought together some of the world's leaders in computer­ enhanced analytical spectroscopy at Snowbird, Utah, for what the attendees decided to call "The First Hidden Peak Symposium." With the remarkable advances in...

This volume is concerned with methods that are available for the calculation of for­ mation constants, in particular computational procedures. Although graphical meth­ ods have considerable value in the exploration of primary...

After studying ring-chain tautomerism of keto ami des and related derivatives of functionalized carboxylic acids for more than ten years, the authors consider it useful to summarize available results on these prototropic...

An international community of researchers is now flourishing in the area of cryptology-there was none half-a-dozen years ago. The intrinsic fascination of the field certainly is part of the explanation. Another factor may be...

The method of choice for analysis of organic pollutants in the environ­ ment is gas chromatography, using one of the most common detection systems such as flame ionization, electron capture, and mass spectro­ metric detection...

During recent years there has been increasing interest in the value of a number of chemical and physical-chemical analytical methods for the detection and characterization of microorganisms. Furthermore, such methods are...

The following chapters present most of the lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced Studies Institute on "The Physics of Super­ ionic Conductors and Electrode Materials", held at Odense Univer­ sity's Mathematics Department...

Scope of the book, and acknowledgements.- The articles are focused on 'real problems' in body-fluid analysis, typically with a final chromatographic separation of ~g or often ng amounts if the aim is quantitation. The pitfalls...

On this, the dawning of a new age in high technology, man is seeking answers to increasingly complex problems. We are routinely launching reusable vehicles into space, designing and building computers with seemingly limitless...

The solid molecular hydrogens are the simplest and most fundamental molecular solids. Except at ultrahigh pressures on the order of a few mega­ bars, where a transition to a metallic, atomic phase is expected, these solids are...
