  • End-Of-Line Hyphenation of Chemical Names (IUPAC Provisional
    Pure Appl. Chem. 2020; aop IUPAC Recommendations Albert J. Dijkstra*, Karl-Heinz Hellwich, Richard M. Hartshorn, Jan Reedijk and Erik Szabó End-of-line hyphenation of chemical names (IUPAC Provisional Recommendations) https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-1005 Received October 16, 2019; accepted January 21, 2020 Abstract: Chemical names and in particular systematic chemical names can be so long that, when a manu- script is printed, they have to be hyphenated/divided at the end of a line. Many systematic names already contain hyphens, but sometimes not in a suitable division position. In some cases, using these hyphens as end-of-line divisions can lead to illogical divisions in print, as can also happen when hyphens are added arbi- trarily without considering the ‘chemical’ context. The present document provides recommendations and guidelines for authors of chemical manuscripts, their publishers and editors, on where to divide chemical names at the end of a line and instructions on how to avoid these names being divided at illogical places as often suggested by desk dictionaries. Instead, readability and chemical sense should prevail when authors insert optional hyphens. Accordingly, the software used to convert electronic manuscripts to print can now be programmed to avoid illogical end-of-line hyphenation and thereby save the author much time and annoy- ance when proofreading. The recommendations also allow readers of the printed article to determine which end-of-line hyphens are an integral part of the name and should not be deleted when ‘undividing’ the name. These recommendations may also prove useful in languages other than English.

  • REMOVABLE CORE) ASSEMBLY for Installation Assistance, Contact SARGENT at 800-727-5477 •
    INSTRUCTIONS FOR REKEYING THE SARGENT® (65-)11-10- (6300) LARGE FORMAT INTERCHANGEABLE (REMOVABLE CORE) ASSEMBLY For installation assistance, contact SARGENT at 800-727-5477 • www.sargentlock.com The 6300 series LFIC (Removable Core) uses a control key whose bittings match the Top Master Key of the key system in positions 1, 2, 5 and 6. The control bittings in positions 3 and 4 are selected from the Key Bitting Array of the master key system. This method significantly reduces the bittings available in the Key Bitting Array of any Top Master Key. Increasing the levels in the master keying system and cross keying also has a significant impact on the yield of keys at each selected level. The chamber stack value for the 6300 series LFIC (removable core) is normally calculated by using a stack value of 15 in positions 1, 2, 5, and 6. This is the total value of the bottom pins, master splits and driver pins that would be required to pin the core (based on the keying levels). In chambers 3 and 4 of the 6300 series LFIC (removable core), the stack value is 20. This is done to allow the control key to achieve a shear line in chambers 3 and 4 of the control sleeve. Important Cylinders master keyed at the factory prior to January 2009 use hollow drivers and SARGENT recommends their continued use. Hollow drivers must be used in chambers 3 and 4. A different spring is used in conjunction with the hollow drivers. These special drivers and springs are included in a special pinning kit #437 RC/UL.

  • Startup Keyboard Shortcuts Press the Key Or Key Combination Until The
    Startup keyboard shortcuts Press the key or key combination until the expected function occurs/appears (for example, hold Option during startup until Startup Manager appears, or Shift until "Safe Boot" appears). Tip: If a startup function doesn't work and you use a third-party keyboard, connect an Apple keyboard and try again. Key or key combination What it does Option Display all bootable volumes (Startup Manager) Shift Perform Safe Boot (start up in Safe Mode) C Start from a bootable disc (DVD, CD) T Start in FireWire target disk mode N Start from NetBoot server X Force Mac OS X startup (if non-Mac OS X startup volumes are present) Command-V Start in Verbose Mode Command-S Start in Single User Mode To use a keyboard shortcut, or key combination, you press a modifier key with a character key. For example, pressing the Command key (the key with a symbol) and the "c" key at the same time copies whatever is currently selected (text, graphics, and so forth) into the Clipboard. This is also known as the Command-C key combination (or keyboard shortcut). A modifier key is a part of many key combinations. A modifier key alters the way other keystrokes or mouse clicks are interpreted by Mac OS X. Modifier keys include: Command, Control, Option, Shift, Caps Lock, and the fn key (if your keyboard has a fn key). Here are the modifier key symbols you can see in Mac OS X menus: (Command key) - On some Apple keyboards, this key also has an Apple logo ( ) (Control key) (Option key) - "Alt" may also appear on this key (Shift key) (Caps Lock) - Toggles Caps Lock on or off fn (Function key) Startup keyboard shortcuts Press the key or key combination until the expected function occurs/appears (for example, hold Option during startup until Startup Manager appears, or Shift until "Safe Boot" appears).
