This book presents a critical assessment of progress on the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine the structure of proteins, including brief reviews of the history of the field along with coverage of current clinical and in vivo applications. The book, in honor of Oleg Jardetsky, one of the pioneers of the field, is edited by two of the most highly respected investigators using NMR, and features contributions by most of the leading workers in the field. It will be valued as a landmark publication that presents the state-of-the-art perspectives regarding one of today's most important technologies.

The automated enrichment of mass-digitised document collections using techniques such as text mining is becoming increasingly popular. Enriched collections offer new opportunities for interface design to allow data-driven and visualisation-based search, exploration and interpretation. Most such interfaces integrate close and distant reading and represent semantic, spatial, social or temporal relations, but often lack contrastive views. Inspect and Compare (I&C) contributes to the current state of the art in interface design for historical newspapers with highly versatile side-by-side comparisons of query results and curated article sets based on metadata and semantic enrichments. I&C takes search queries and pre-curated article sets as inputs and allows comparisons based on the distributions of newspaper titles, publication dates and automatically generated enrichments, such as language, article types, topics and named entities. Contrastive views of such data reveal patterns, help humanities scholars to improve search strategies and to facilitate a critical assessment of the overall data quality. I&C is part of the impresso interface for the exploration of digitised and semantically enriched historical newspapers.


Arthur Donovan, Antoine Lavoisier: Science, Administration, and Revolution. Blackwell, Oxford, 1993. Pp. xv+351. £35.00. ISBN 0-631-178877-2 Arthur Donovan marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) with a historical biography for readers who are already acquainted with the technical and scientific aspects of the Chemical Revolution and wish to know more of Lavoisier’s principal career as an administrator and financier in the terminal decades of the ancien régime and the opening years of the French Revolution. Although Lavoisier was a driven experimental scientist from his early days, and soon became wealthy enough to run a well-equipped laboratory with assistants, he was far too busy with technocratic administration to carry out much practical chemistry. His primary scientific strength lay in a critical assessment of the promise offered by new experimental results, discovered by other chemists, for some alternative to prevailing chemical ideas, which he had come to regard in youth as inadequate and flawed from a wide knowledge of the state of the art and a judicious repetition of previous experiments.

State-of-the-art Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) employs the methodology of the Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) for stress-based design. Current versions of FADs used in leading standards are reviewed and applied to girth weld flaws in pipelines. The intent of the work is to provide background information as a contribution to a proposed upgrade of the Canadian Standards Association standard Z662, “Oil and gas pipeline systems”.
