Presents a set of experiments that explore variables within the steps of the filtration process. (CS)

Presents experiments that illustrate some physiologically important aspects of ligand binding to hemoglobin. (CS)

Presents an undergraduate biochemistry laboratory experiment in which glycohemoglobin, a derivative of hemoglobin, is determined. (CS)

Presents a viable laboratory experiment that demonstrates the utility of IR spectroscopy. Uses small quantities of deuterated gaseous alkanes. (CS)

Describes new apparatus and equipment for use in chemistry laboratories. Four new literature citations are also reported and three new chemicals. A reader's inquiry card is available for requesting more information. (CS)

Presents evidence to support the author's viewpoint that Einstein's General Relativity Theory is related to concepts of chemo-electricity. (CS)

Discusses simulation and data reduction programs as ways to enrich undergraduate chemistry curricula. Programs are classified into four general categories: function evaluation, data reduction, computer-simulated experiments, and all others. Reasons why these programs have been widely implemented are listed. (CS)

Outlines the life of A. G. Vernon Harcourt, a founder of chemical kinetics, contributor to the purification of coal gas from sulfur compounds, inventor of the percentage chloroform inhaler, friend to Lewis Carroll, and instructor to the Prince of Wales. (CS)

Presents a method for graphically illustrating Le Chatelier's principle, suitable for the general chemistry undergraduate. (CS)

Presents the mathematical background for solving eigenvalue problems, with illustrations of the applications in computer programing. The numerical matrix treatment is presented, with a demonstration of the simple HMO theory. (CS)

Describes "The Ascent of Man," a course emphasizing science and human values. Detailed are some chemical topics covered in the course, and how these topics are used in other traditional chemistry courses. Topics discussed include alchemy, the chemical revolution, steam engines, the Manhattan project, and several bioethical problems. (CS)

Describes a method for adapting Piagetian theory to the teaching of chemistry by increasing active student thinking in lectures. Laboratory demonstrations are supported as encouraging Piagetian self-regulations. (CS)

Presents a challenge to industry to put pressure on chemical departments for more rigorous safety training during college. (CS)

Describes how poly(ethylene oxide) was accidentally discovered in the industrial laboratory. (CS)

Presents short descriptions of cooperative education programs for chemistry students at Drexel University, Rochester Institute of Technology, The University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and Indiana-Purdue University at Indianapolis. (CS)
