Discussed is the use and worth of any studies on animals in research. Topics included are human benefit, anthropomorphism, ecology, and the psychology of the use of animals in research. (DS)

Presents a list of handbooks, published in the Handbook of Physiology series, that present physiological knowledge and concepts. Also reviews the history of this effort and sales data for handbooks within the areas of neurophysiology, respiration, circulation, environment, adipose tissue, and the alimentary canal. (CS)

Describes a self-consistent-field-linear combination of atomic orbitals-molecular orbital calculation on the valence electrons of lithium hydride using the method of Roothaan. This description is intended for undergraduate physics students.

Provides background data on surface chemistry as an emerging discipline. Highlights the important role which surfaces play in catalysis by focusing on the catalyzed oxidation of carbon monoxide. Provides a demonstration of how surfaces exert their influences in heterogeneous phenomena and illustrates how experimental problems in this field are…

Summarizes the ideas of Sir Robert Robinson and Sir C. K. Ingold that contributed to the controversy in developing the electronic theory of organic reactions. (CS)

Presents abstracts and summaries of articles that have appeared in recent issues of science teaching publications, appropriate for use in secondary school chemistry classrooms. (CS)

Discusses the development of recent analytical techniques that can give detailed information on thin-film structures. (HM)

This syllabus reviews information concerning calcium and phosphate regulation. Topics of interest include the following: calcium metabolism, phosphorus metabolism, bone, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D. (CS)

Reviews creationist arguments attacking scientific evidence for evolution and an old earth, presenting counter-arguments from the evolutionist's point of view. (CS)

Discusses differences between smell and taste, comparing these senses in organisms in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Describes the chemical environment underwater and in air, differences in chemoreceptors to receive stimuli, and the organs, brain, and behavior involved in chemoreception. (CS)

This editorial outlines desirable content for a comprehensive text on social biology and discusses the relevant areas of hominid evolution, ecology, ethology, and archaeology. (CS)

Presents several examples illustrating different aspects of materials problems, including problems associated with solid-solid reactions, sintering and crystal growth, characterization of materials, preparation and characterization of stoichiometric ferrites and chromites, copper-sulfur systems, growth of single crystals by chemical vapor…

Outlines general principles in observing sharp electron spin resonance (ESR) lines in the solid state by incorporating the transition metal ion of interest into an isostructural diamagnetic host material in small concentration. Examples of some recent studies are described. (CS)

Considers a few areas of oxide/sulfide and intercalation-type chemistry. Discusses synthesis of the disulfides of the metals of group IVB, VB, and VIB; the intercalation reaction between lithium and titanium disulfide; other intercalates; and sulfide catalysts. (CS)

Uses computer graphics and nonstationary, superposition wave functions to reveal the dynamic quantum trajectories of several molecular and electronic transitions. These methods are then coupled with classical electromagnetic theory to provide a conceptually clear picture of the emission process and emitted radiation localized in time and space.…
