  • Ammonia, Amines, Phosphine, Arsine, Stibine, Silane, Germane and Stannane in Organic Solvents

    Ammonia, Amines, Phosphine and Arsine in Organic Solvents
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 21
    • October 22, 2013
    • C. L. Young + 1 more
    • English
    This volume presents a comprehensive collection and critical evaluation of solubility data published prior to June 1983 for the compounds of the title. A variety of techniques were used in the original determinations; the merits of these have been considered in the evaluation of the data. Emerging patterns of solubility behaviour for comparable systems are indicated. The editors believe that the book will both draw attention to areas where good data are lacking and stimulate further experimental work.

The discussion then turns to carbohydrates, along with concepts and methods in carbohydrate histochemistry such as blocking and enzyme methods. Other chapters focus on amyloids, pigments, minerals, phosphatases, and esterases. The principles of enzyme histochemistry are also considered, with emphasis on preservation and factors affecting enzyme activity. The final chapter is devoted to ultra-histochemistry... the application of histochemistry to electron microscopy. This monograph will be of interest to histochemists, histopathologists, and technologists involved in histochemical work.

  • Computing Methods in Crystallography

    • 1st Edition
    • October 22, 2013
    • J. S. Rollett
    • English
    Computing Methods in Crystallography is a collection of lectures given at a two-week Summer School held in Oxford, UK in August 1962. About forty-five crystallographers focused on advances in the use of computing methods in crystallography. The discussions are organized around four themes: algebra, statistics, phase determination, and programming. This book is comprised of 20 chapters and begins with an introduction to the algebra required for the fundamental operations of transformation of coordinates, interpolation, and approximation of trigonometric and exponential functions, as well as solution of linear equations and derivation of latent roots and vectors. Methods for calculation of structure factors, least-squares adjustment, Fourier series evaluation, and a number of other operations are described. The statistical properties of reciprocal space are also considered, along with probability methods for centrosymmetric crystals. The final chapter looks at some crystallographic programs in FORTRAN. This monograph will be a valuable resource for crystallographers as well as physics students and researchers interested in the application of computing methods to crystallography.

    • English
    XVIII Colloquium Spectroscopicum Internationale is a collection of plenary lectures presented at the 18th Colloquium Spectrospicum International, held at Grenoble, France on September 15-19, 1975. This book is composed of seven chapters, and begins with the potentials, advantages, and applications of X-ray and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The succeeding chapters deal with the design of fluorometric methods, the general aspects of the classical light sources (arc and spark) and their contributions to the accuracy of spectrochemical results, and the utility of electron microscopy for structure determination. The final chapters discuss the developments in spectroscopic instrumentation and progress in structure elucidation of natural products using some analytical techniques. This book will prove useful to analytical and organic chemists.

  • Standard Methods of Clinical Chemistry

    By the American Association of Clinical Chemists
    • 1st Edition

    Standard Methods of Clinical Chemistry, Volume 5 presents a wide variety of approaches to analytical procedures in clinical chemistry. This 24-chapter volume discusses the principles, reagents, procedure, and calibration of various clinical chemistry methods. The first three chapters cover the basic protocols in clinical chemistry laboratories, including collection and preservation of specimens, error sources determination, and the automatic chemical analysis. These topics are followed by surveys on determination of blood ammonia, bilirubin, total and free cholesterol, sweat chloride, glucose, and blood and urine lead. Other chapters examine the analysis of magnesium, methemoglobin, osmolality, pH, phenylalanine, and alkaline and acid phosphatase enzymes. The final chapters focus on the methods of colorimetry and turbidimetry for total protein determination. This book is directed primarily toward clinical chemists.

    Surface Chemistry presents the proceedings of the Second Scandinavian Symposium on Surface Activity, held in Stockholm, Sweden on November 18–19, 1964. This book discusses the important applications of surface chemistry in many problems of both fundamental and applied research. Organized into 25 chapters, this compilation of papers begins with an overview of the adsorption of mixed collector systems onto minerals chosen for their different surface energies. This text then describes the bonding of amine to the reactive residual matter on the mineral surface. Other chapters consider the solubilities of some 30 hormonal steroids in aqueous solutions of three association colloids of various types. This book discusses as well the relationships between chemical structure and biological degradation of surfactants. The final chapter deals with several properties of aqueous emulsions and of foam, which are determined by the stability of thin aqueous films against rupture. This book is a valuable resource for chemists.
