      Introduction to Quantitative Ultramicroanalysis has been compiled on the basis of reports published by numerous authors. It does not claim to offer an exhaustive treatment of ultramicroanalysis, but it summarizes data on the subject and related experimental methods and techniques, newly designed requisite equipment, etc. Several procedures are described which have proved effective in analyzing minute amounts of sample. The weighing of extremely small objects is treated most extensively, as are the titration and colorimetry of solutions. The equipment used in ultramicroanalysis, in addition to its minute size, is of a highly specialized design. These unique features, as well as some of the simpler micromanipulators, are discussed in the related chapters.

      In Situ Bioreclamation: Applications and Investigations for Hydrocarbon and Contaminated Site Remediation is a collection of selected papers submitted by participants to the international symposium ""In Situ and On-Site Bioreclamation"", held in San Diego, California in March 1991. The book consists of articles, which represent a substantial technical contribution, and technical notes, and brief technology descriptions or reports of preliminary or less substantial studies that proposes and exposes various solutions for the biological treatment of contaminated soil, water, and gas. This volume is one of two that represent the most complete and up-to-date set of papers at the time. The book covers the most comprehensive collection of treatises that presents practices in the reversal of damages to the environment. Solutions vary from proven commercially available technologies for some applications, such as reactor treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons in aqueous steams, to fundamental research in others, such as genetic engineering to develop strains of biodegradable xenobiotics. Environmentalists, scientists, students of natural sciences, civil engineers, and those concerned with the preservation and restoration of nature will find this book invaluable.

      Advanced Biochemistry: A Series of Monographs: Primary Processes in Photosynthesis focuses on the processes involved in photosynthesis, including chloroplast structure, electronic spectra of polyatomic molecules, and photochemistry. The monograph first tackles the natural history of photosynthesis, photosynthetic apparatus, and radiation physics. Discussions focus on electronic spectra of polyatomic molecules, molecular spectroscopy of porphyrins and chlorophylls, chloroplast composition, individual components of the chromatophore, chloroplast structure and development, and systematics of photosynthesis. The publication then examines photochemistry, including fast reactions of excited molecules as revealed by fluorescence quenching, photochemistry of chlorophyll, two-quantum process in chloroplasts, and prospects for the biochemical era. The monograph is a valuable source of data for plant science experts and researchers interested in photosynthesis.

      This textbook is designed to provide the theory, methods of measurement, and principal applications of the expanding field of interfacial hydrodynamics. It is intended to serve the research needs of both academic and industrial scientists, including chemical or mechanical engineers, material and surface scientists, physical chemists, chemical and biophysicists, rheologists, physiochemical hydrodynamicists, and applied mathematicians (especially those with interests in viscous fluid mechanics and continuum mechanics).As a textbook it provides materials for a one- or two-semester graduate-level course in interfacial transport processes. It may also be noted that, while separate practical and theoretical subdivisions of material have been introduced, a kind of cross-emphasis is often stressed: (i) to the academic scientist, or the importance of understanding major applications of interfacial transport; and (ii) to the industrial scientist, of the importance of understanding the underlying theory.

      The Collected Works of Irving Langmuir, Volume 1: Low-Pressure Phenomena is a 16-chapter text that covers the early work of Irving Langmuir, beginning with his doctoral thesis written in 1906, focusing on the chemical and physical aspects of low-pressure phenomena. The first chapters deal with the dissociation of various gases produced by hot platinum wires and the convection and conduction of gases at high temperatures. The subsequent chapters consider the velocity of reactions in gases, the chemically active modification of hydrogen, and the dissociation of hydrogen into atoms. Considerable chapters are devoted to chemical reactions at very low pressures. The final chapters discuss the radiation as an important factor in chemical action and the mechanism of the catalytic action of platinum in the reactions between hydrogen and oxygen. This book is of value to physical chemists and physical chemistry researchers.

      Standard Methods of Clinical Chemistry, Volume II describes accurate and workable methods used in clinical laboratories. This 21-chapter text covers the principles, reagents, procedure, and calculation of these methods. The opening chapters explore various clinical chemistry methods for determination of serum calcium, cholesterol, chloride, fatty acids, gamma globulin, and hemoglobin. The succeeding chapters review the methods for detection of free and conjugated 17-hydroxycorticoste... 17-ketosteroids, serum iron, lipase, nitrogen by Kjeldahl method, and nonprotein nitrogen. The remaining chapters deal with other clinical methods for blood pH, enzyme, phosphatides, urine porphyrins, protein-bound ion, and sulfobromophthalein determination. This book is directed primarily toward clinical chemists, but pathologists, medical technicians, clinical investigators, chemists in other fields, and students will find this book rewarding.

      Advances in Magnetic Resonance, Volume 1, discusses developments in various areas of magnetic resonance. The subject matter ranges from original theoretical contributions through syntheses of points of view toward series of phenomena to critical and painstaking tabulations of experimental data. The book contains six chapters and begins with a discussion of the theory of relaxation processes. This is followed by separate chapters on the development of magnetic resonance techniques for studying rate processes in chemistry and the application of these techniques to various problems; the geometrical and electronic structures of paramagnetic molecules and complex ions; and various theoretical formulations of spin-spin coupling. Subsequent chapters deal with geminal and vicinal proton-proton coupling constants from values reported in the literature; and electron spin resonance of radical ions. This serial publication was conceived with the insiders as well as the interested outsiders in mind. The editor hopes that readers who consult this book for a particular article will in some measure profit by being exposed to some of the other contributions.
