Mart on ABSTRACT The bibliography lists over 2800 unilingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries, glossaries and encyclopedias in the physical sciences, engineering and technology published during the past twelve years. The majority of the titles cited have English as the source or target language, or are dictionaries giving definitions in English. The bibliographic entries are arranged in h-9 subject classes; within each subject, the entries are listed alphabetically by language, and within each language group by author. Forty-seven foreign languages are represented in the compilation. Lists of abbrevia- tions and reference sources, and detailed author, language, and subject indexes complement the publication 1 /- 1. INTRODUCTION : The rapid pace of technological progress in the United States^ the.' Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, West Germany, France, Japan, and many other countries throughout the world has quickened interest in scientific and engineering terminology. Even the less developed countries, wanting to keep abreast of the scientific literature of the technologically advanced nations, have substantially increased their lexicographic effort The publishing of glossaries and dictionaries, responding to the", law of supply and demand, has been further stimulated by four major- factors: 1) the obsolescence of a fast-developing technology, 2) the : interdisciplinary character of modern science, 3) the need for quick" dissemination of scientific and technical information, and k) the*. corresponding need for standardization of national and international terminology. \ The proliferation of technical dictionaries and encyclopedias in- turn has increased the need for up-to-date bibliographic aids designed to guide the literature searcher and user to the best and latest language' tools. While a few excellent bibliographies have been published in the- last decade (e.g., the compilations of UNESCO, Zaunmuller, Malcles), none? has been geared to the specific requirements of the American specialist. I With this in mind, the compiler has attempted to provide an up-to-date-, : bibliography oriented toward the American user. The by-product of an , acquisition program aimed at the e>rpansion of the technical dictionary; collection of the National Bureau of Standards Library, the compilation;' comprises unilingual defining glossaries, dictionaries, encyclopedias and bi- or multilingual dictionaries in the physical sciences and technology' listed in a subject-language arrangement. i Within the limits set by time and budget, considerable effort was j made to locate and peruse as many entries as possible; however, the com- pilation does not claim to be all-inclusive. The compiler will welcome suggestions for information on important publications which may have I been overlooked. i Selection criteria . The chronological scope — the past twelve years — was chosen because bibliographic coverage of the field is quite adequate up to the early 195>0' s. The principal criterion for the selection of entries — although evaluation per se was not intended -- was the usefulness of the cited work 1 to the English-speaking scientific community within the range expressed by the title: physical sciences and engineering. The biological sciences and their applied fields (medicine, agriculture, etc. ) were excluded unless there was an overlap between the physical and biological disciplines, e.g., biophysics, biochemistry, radiology, agricultural machinery. 2 As a rule, general language dictionaries and encyclopedias (English or foreign) were not included, although most of the reputable compilations in this category list a fair proportion of scientific and technical terms; the large number of such dictionaries would have considerably increased the size of the publication. In any case, this category can easily be located in the better-known reference books, publishers' cata- logs, etc. (See Bibliographic References, pp.l67~9). In view of the English-language orientation of this compilation, the second major criterion for the inclusion of bilingual and polyglot dictionaries was that English be either the source language or one of the target languages. Unilingual defining dictionaries in languages other than English were included only if their subject areas were marked by a scarcity of bilingual or multilingual titles, and if they met the addi- tional criteria of quality, comprehensiveness, or special interest in the physical sciences and/or technology (e.g., Metrology, Engineering Standards, Cryogenics, Superconductivity). Interlingual and polyglot dictionaries lacking English as one of the languages (e.g., a German- French geophysics dictionary or a Russian-Chinese- Japanese technical dictionary) were excluded, however valuable in other respects. Literature search . An extensive search was made of the relevant literature, including specialized, national and international bibliogra- phies, publishers' catalogs and announcements, and serials in this field. Emphasis was placed on significant titles issued in the past twelve years. A few exceptions were made to this chronological scope in order to include earlier titles outstanding for their excellence or pertinence to their particular subject. The literature search was not extended to locate a significant portion of glossaries in textbooks, monographs, handbooks, serials, etc. Pertinent lists of terms in publications of these types were included only if they came easily to the compiler's attention. One of the reasons for not covering fully these glossaries — aside from the size of the task — is that the better ones in these categories are often incorporated into a major compilation. Subject analysis . This aspect presented minor problems. Some dictionaries have titles that are not self-explanatory or fully descrip- tive of their contents;

The deposit is forming around a hot spring, which is part of a large active metallogenetic hydrothermal system depositing ore-bearing travertines. The native iron occurs in two shapes: nodules with diameter 0.4 and 0.45 cm, and angular grains with length up to tens of µm. The travertine laminae around the spherical/ovoid nodules grow smoothly, and the angular grains are trapped inside the pores of the travertine.

  • Equations of State and Thermodynamics of Solids Using Empirical Corrections in the Quasiharmonic Approximation
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B 84, 184103 (2011) Equations of state and thermodynamics of solids using empirical corrections in the quasiharmonic approximation A. Otero-de-la-Roza* and V´ıctor Luana˜ † Departamento de Qu´ımica F´ısica y Anal´ıtica, Facultad de Qu´ımica, Universidad de Oviedo, ES-33006 Oviedo, Spain (Received 24 May 2011; revised manuscript received 8 October 2011; published 11 November 2011) Current state-of-the-art thermodynamic calculations using approximate density functionals in the quasi- harmonic approximation (QHA) suffer from systematic errors in the prediction of the equation of state and thermodynamic properties of a solid. In this paper, we propose three simple and theoretically sound empirical corrections to the static energy that use one, or at most two, easily accessible experimental parameters: the room-temperature volume and bulk modulus. Coupled with an appropriate numerical fitting technique, we show that experimental results for three model systems (MgO, fcc Al, and diamond) can be reproduced to a very high accuracy in wide ranges of pressure and temperature. In the best available combination of functional and empirical correction, the predictive power of the DFT + QHA approach is restored. The calculation of the volume-dependent phonon density of states required by QHA can be too expensive, and we have explored simplified thermal models in several phases of Fe. The empirical correction works as expected, but the approximate nature of the simplified thermal model limits significantly the range of validity of the results.

Since so many middle school students have not had science experience at the concrete operational level, they are poorly equipped to work at an abstract level.

  • Stoichiometry: the Reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate
    CEAC 103 GENERAL CHEMISTRY Experiment 2 Stoichiometry: The Reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate Purpose: To enhance the understanding of stoichiometry, a reaction between iron and copper (II) sulfate solution will be conducted. This will help you to differentiate limiting and excess reactant in a chemical reaction. Finally the theoretical and percent yield of this reaction will be calculated. Theory Stoichiometry is the measurement of quantitative relationships in chemical formulas and equations. In this experiment stoichiometric principles will be used to obtain the appropriate equation between the reaction of iron metal and copper(II) sulfate solution. After the reaction is taking place, the formation of metallic copper, which is seen precipitating as a finely divided reddish-orange powder will be observed. This reaction is one of the example of single substitution reaction in which one element “displaces” from a compound by another element. The element which has ability of displacing other element from compound is said to be “more active” than the displaced metal. In this experiment, iron is more active than copper. Two distinct forms of iron are present, namely Fe2+ and Fe3+. Stoichiometric principles will be used to determine which reaction is more dominant compared to other one by examining the reaction between iron and copper (II) sulfate solution. If Fe2+ is formed, then equation (1) is dominant, while equation (2) will be selected if Fe3+ is formed. This can be determined 1 according to mole ratio of copper to iron. If the moles of copper is equal to the moles of iron, then equation (1) has taken place.
