Interest in the reference intensity ratio CRIR) method continues as a result of the potential capabilities of the technique for rapid multi-component quantitative analysis. The theoretical basis for the RIR technique is now well established (Chung, 1974; Hubbard et al., 1976; Davis, 1980, 1981; Davis and Johnson, 1982), Major areas for which the method can still be greatly improved include the methods used for sample preparation, the measurement of accurate intensities, and the use of an internally consistent set of reference intensity constants (designated RIR, or ki). In the methodology developed at the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences (IAS), South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, sample preparation centers about the suspension of the pulverized sample into an aerosol and collection onto filter media. Because of this step, intensities must be corrected from their raw values to intensities representative of “infinite thickness“ and volumetrically constant conditions of normal sample diffraction. The measurement and correction of intensities and sample preparation methodology is the subject matter of the present paper.

The subject of the study is the features, functions and structure of the Ukrainian scientific picture of the world and its component – the picture of the world of melioration science. The theoretical basis of the research is the thesis of the foreign and Ukrainian scholars on the scientific picture of the world as a consolidated and structured system of universal scientific knowledge. The methods of the research are the following: a method of structural and functional analysis of the concept, a method of definition analysis, a comparative method and a method of quantitative analysis. It has been found that the scientific picture of the world is a system of concepts that represents the scientific cognition of the world. The functions of the scientific picture of the world are usually identified as heuristic, synthetic, methodological, systematising and world outlook creating. The unified scientific picture of the world consists of the following types: humanitarian, natural, social and technical ones. The format of the scientific picture of the world expressed by the terminology of melioration belongs to the natural sciences picture of the world. The contributors to the melioration picture of the world are the subsystems of its sub-sectors, namely: water, land, chemical, technical, phytomelioration and others. The modern melioration picture of the world is largely formed by means of international terms (about 70%), and to a lesser extent by the genuine (national) vocabulary (30%).

Abstract The most important advances in planar chromatography published between November 1, 2015, and November 1, 2017, are reviewed in this paper. Included are an introduction to the current status of the field; student experiments and reviews; apparatus and techniques for sample preparation and TLC separations; detection and identification of separated zones; quantitative analysis; preparative layer chromatography; and thin-layer radiochromatography. Selected applications are given in the various sections of the review.

AbstractThis article surveys the first five decades of the Journal/Revue, with particular emphasis on patterns of change and continuity. The article presents a quantitative analysis of the articles published in the Journal/Revue, looking at, among other things, the balance of articles published in English and in French, the proportion of articles authored by women, the location and institutional affiliation of authors and the subject matter of published articles. Significant continuities emerge from the data, such as the predominance of Canadian-based authors writing on aspects of Canadian politics and the dominance of authors from large research-intensive universities. Yet change is also evident, for example in the number of women publishing in the Journal/Revue and in the emergence of articles in subfields not found in the Journal/Revue’s earlier days, most notably Aboriginal politics, gender and politics, and race and ethnicity.

Many individuals who enter into science programs do so because study in this area is a requirement rather than because of a genuine interest in the subject matter. As a result, science educators need to find new ways of motivating today’s learners. One approach is to modify the educational process so that students no longer find themselves in the roles of traditional learners, where the instructor directs them to the information. Instead, they need to become active learners, who take responsibility for their own learning both in and out of the classroom. This study examined the effects of an external motivation approach that utilized a token system known as Microbucks. Qualitative examination of the data showed that students responded favourably and quantitative analysis showed up to a 9.39 percent increase in final grades.

The purpose of this paper is to summarize the theoretical basis and experimental techniques for application of the referenee intensity method to quantitative, multi-component analysis by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Detailed descriptions of the technique and formal error analysis are discussed by Davis (1978, 1980, 1981a, 1981b, 1981c).

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

An outline has been presented in historical fashion of the steps devised to organize the central core of medical information allowing the subject matter, the patient, to define the nature and the progression of the diseases from which he suffers, with and without therapy; and approaches have been made to organize this information in such fashion as to align the definitions in orderly fashion to teach both diagnostic strategy and the content of the diseases by programmed instruction.
