Describes an experiment which quantitatively determines glucose by a spectrophotometric measurement of the colored complex formed between glucose and an amine. (MLH)

Describes a method in which glass plates are coated with adsorbent, using a technique which is cheap, rapid, and reliable; avoids the need for expensive, commercially-available thin layer chromatography equipment. (MLH)

Discusses ways to improve doctoral programs and possible alternatives, such as self-directed nondegree studies. (MLH)

Describes an undergraduate experiment that illustrates the use of thin-layer chromatography. (MLH)

Discusses a statistical report on chemical and chemical engineering higher education; the findings indicate an increase in 1975 B.S. and Ph.D. graduates in chemistry, a decrease in these degrees in chemical engineering, and an increase in female graduates in both fields. (MLH)

Suggests a format to be used to introduce students to the use of reference materials and provides a series of instructional activities. (CP)

Reports on a flexible doctoral program in geology designed for students interested in a teacher-oriented career in liberal arts, community, and junior colleges. (CP)

The evolution of a laboratory oriented undergraduate plasma physics course is described. Brief accounts of the 14 experiments utilized in the course are provided. (CP)

Provides the outline, descriptions of a number of demonstrations, and an indication of student response to a junior-senior level course in lasers and their applications. (CP)

Recapitulates the theory behind contact potentials from the 18th century to present day. (CP)

Traces the history of the discovery of spin and its place in quantum mechanics. (MLH)

Traces the history of the development of spin and wave mechanics. (MLH)
