In contrast to the adjustment of single plates a block adjustment is a simultaneous determination of all unknowns associated with many overlapping plates (star positions and plate constants etc. ) by one large adjustment. This plate overlap technique was introduced by Eichhorn and reviewed by Googe et. al. The author now has developed a set of computer programmes which allows the adjustment of any set of contemporaneous overlapping plates. There is in principle no limit for the number of plates, the number of stars, the number of individual plate constants for each plate, and for the overlapping factor.

Radiocarbon dating laboratories deal with many types of data and calculations, which include information on received and dated samples, age calculations and storage of results, printed reports to submitters and graphs plotted from sample measurements. I describe a computer program, designed to run on any PC-compatible computer with a hard disk, that can handle all the functions of a conventional liquid scintillation counting radiocarbon dating laboratory.

A new algorithm for the simultaneous determination of any number of protonation constants from potentiometric equilibrium data is described. This algorithm is characterized by a unique approach to the internal refinement of the constants and by the analytical nature of the numerical analysis whereby minimization is sought and achieved on the residuals between calculated and observed pH. The FORTRAN IV computer program PKAS utilizing this generalized algorithm has been written and developed and tested on 30 multidentate ligands. The details of the algorithm and the program are described and samples of its recorded usage are provided, indicating its versatility in application.
