The manuscript also examines the experimental method. Topics include experimental factors that influence resolution and the shapes of absorption lines; measurement of line positions and identification of the chemical shift; and measurement of intensities. The text reviews the theories of chemical effects in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and spin-spin multiplicity and the theory and applications of multiple irradiation. The book also tackles the theory of chemical shift, including the classification of shielding effects, local diamagnetic proton shielding, solvent effects, and contact shifts.

      Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry is an annual review series commissioned by the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ISHC). Volumes in the series contain both highlights of the previous year’s literature on heterocyclic chemistry and articles on new, developing topics of particular interest to heterocyclic chemists. The highlight chapters in Volume 25 are all written by leading researchers in their field, and these chapters constitute a systematic survey of the important original material reported in the literature of heterocyclic chemistry in 2012. As with previous volumes in the series, Volume 25 will enable academic and industrial chemists and advanced students to keep abreast of developments in heterocyclic chemistry in a convenient way.

      Chemical Technology is based on lectures the author gave at the Technische Hochschule of Karlsruhe and at the University of Freiburg. Part 1 of this book deals with chemical technology and describes subjects dealing with apparatus, unit operations, and chemical economics. The text reviews industrial chemical reactions, raw materials preparation for reaction, thermal and catalytic processes, and a history of chemical technology. This part also addresses transportation, storage of raw materials, and the design and construction of a chemical factory. Part 2 concerns special chemical technology, including topics such as raw material upgrading; processing of products in the chemical industry; and unit processes application toward consumer goods production. This part reviews materials sourcing from animals, minerals, and vegetables, such as processing of products from living organisms, the recovery of sugar, starch, and other carbohydrates. The book also reviews products of the chemical industry including low-molecular weight consumer goods, detergents, aromas, explosives, plastics, elastomers, synthetic leather, textile, and some building materials.

      A Theory that any Organism is a Single Chemical Molecule focuses on the reactions, transformations, properties, technologies, and approaches involved in the study of molecules. The book first underscores the reasons in saying that a multicellular organism is in reality fundamentally unicellular. The text then elaborates on the molecular conception of organisms, including unicellular plant organism, multicellular plant organism, and a unicellular animal organism and a multicellular animal organism. The publication also highlights the molecular conception of neoplasms. The manuscript also takes a look at the explanation of other activities in an organism by the molecular theory. Discussions focus on embryonic development, animal heart, movement, pleasure and pain, and mind. The publication is a reliable source of data for readers interested in the structure and composition of organisms.
