Radioactivity Applied to Chemistry

Physical chemistry applied to anaesthetic action.

The "dose" of inhalational anaesthetics is commonly expressed in terms of volume per cent (vol/vol) of the agent in an inspired or end-tidal gas sample. However, the "dose" should be expressed more correctly as a partial pressure which can be calculated as the fractional concentration multiplied by the total pressure of the system (e.g. the partial pressure of oxygen in air=0.21x760 = 160 mm Hg...

Metadiscourse in Applied Linguistics and Chemistry Research Article Introductions

This study examined disciplinary rhetoric in research articles, focusing on different traditions in structuring text discourses from a metadiscourse-move analytic approach. The corpus consisted of 72 research article Introductions (RAIs): 36 in applied linguistics and 36 in chemistry. Swales’ CARS model (1990, 2004) and Hyland’s interpersonal model of metadiscourse (2005) were used as analytica...

Synopsis of Applied Pathological Chemistry

The book presents concise descriptions of chemical methods as used at Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York. It is designed for ready reference in the laboratory while doing procedures. The descriptions are adequate and should be easy to follow. Most of the analyses in clinical use are described in one form or another. The book is printed with a fairly wide margin so that modifications may be written in...
