Book Description

Principles and Practices of Method Validation is an overview of the most recent approaches used for method validation in cases when a large number of analytes are determined from a single aliquot and where a larege number of samples are to be analysed. Much of the content relates to the validation of new methods for pesticide residue analysis in foodstuffs and water but the principles can be applied to other similar fields of analysis. Different chromatographic methods are discussed, including estimation of various effects, eg. matrix-induced effects and the influence of the equipment set-up. The methods used for routine purposes and the validation of analytical data in the research and development environment are documented. The legislation covering the EU-Guidance on residue analytical methods, an extensive review of the existing in-house method validation documentation and guidelines for single-laboratory validation of analytical methods for trace-level concentrations of organic chemicals are also included. With contributions from experts in the field, any practising analyst dealing with method validation will find the examples presented in this book a useful source of technical information

Customer Reviews:

Either theories or applications, the book is satisfied........2001-07-13

Although I have done SPE for several years, I was surprised that this book can brought me so much more ideas and concepts. This readable book shows not only how but also why to choose an approach/adsorbent. Detailed but concise descriptions of SPE theories on reversed/normal phase and ion exchange are suitable for both novices and aces. Considerations on silica- and polymer-based adsorbent are crucial to real-world situations. Updated information and critical comparisons of existing products will save readers lots of time and cost to choose a right one. The bottom line is that the book enables SPE users to solve problems systematically instead of try-and -error.

Book Description

Despite the development of innovative new analytical techniques for biological trace element research, today's trace element investigators face formidable obstacles to obtaining reliable data. This complete reference identifies and assesses the challenges the analyst encounters at each stage of an analysis, and discusses the effects of various techniques on the sample. Three internationally recognized scientists and authors consider the effects of the numerous collection, storage, and sample preparatory techniques used in sample analysis. Proper analytical quality control, including such critical factors as sampling and sample preparation, specimen preservation and storage, and ashing, is examined. The book also looks at sample preparation methods unique to various instruments and speciation chemistry issues, and examines the link between chemical analysis and specimen banking. A previously unrecognized source of error, presampling factors, is also discussed.

Book Description

Electron Momentum Spectroscopy measures the energy-momentum density of the electrons in atoms, molecules and solids by means of a kinematically-complete ionization reaction initiated by an electron beam. The construction of spectrometers and the acquisition and reduction of cross-section data are described in detail. The quantum theory of the reaction is explained and the experimental verification is given. It is shown how to extract quasiparticle orbitals, and coefficients describing electron correlations of the data. These quantities are derived from the many-body theory of the electronic structure of atoms, molecules and solids. The relationship to less complete methods of investigating electronic structure is discussed.
Examples are given of the determination of atomic and molecular orbitals and quantities relating them to the observed states of the residual ion. For amorphous, polycrystalline and crystalline solids and surfaces, examples show the energy-momentum density of valence electron bands, and effects due to electron diffraction and plasmon excitation.
The book aims to give a complete account of electron momentum spectroscopy to date. Its significance is that it is a sensitive and experimentally-verifiable test of essentially every aspect of calculations of electronic structure. It is the only such probe available.

Book Description

The best golf writer on the planet returns with his funniest book ever.

Dan Jenkins virtually invented the golf novel with Dead Solid Perfect, his rollicking account of the life and times of touring pro Kenny Lee Puckett. After thirty years of waiting for the follow-up, Jenkins returns to the world of big-time golf in The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist and finds a world where endorsements and course fashion matter more than the side bet. His hero, Bobby Joe Grooves, is a hell-raising two-iron-wielding rogue trying to turn his one annual tournament win and considerable Texas charm into a spot on the Ryder Cup team. Standing between Bobby Joe and his little spot of golf heaven are two ex-wives, a girlfriend, various pious PGA officials, and his embarrassing lack of a career major. A book that will teach you more about golf history than any weepy sunset-over-the-eighteenth-green retrospective, The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist is an uproarious portrait of what it’s really like to play on the PGA Tour. It’s vintage Dan Jenkins.

A retread of Dead Solid Perfect in many ways, but not unpleasant........2007-07-11

The first thing I will say about this book is that it would probably have been a whole lot funnier if I hadn't already read "Dead Solid Perfect."

The protagonist of this story, Bobby Joe Grooves, while not the same, is still quite similar to Kenny Lee Puckett of "DSP." They both come from Fort Worth, Texas, and attended Paschal High School and TCU. Both are PGA Tour veterans who have won a few tournaments, but never a major. Both have two ex-wives, and each still gets along quite well with his two ex-wives. Kenny Lee happens to have already married his third wife, while Bobby Joe is only almost-married, but that seems trivial.

All in all, it felt as though I was reading a remake. Maybe that's why I didn't laugh out loud even once during the book... because it felt too familiar.

Plus, how cliché is it that Jenkins included a young phenom named Cheetah? And yes, he does reference Tiger Woods in the book. So I guess he couldn't come up with anything unique and just decided on another jungle cat for a golfer's name. Maybe he should have included pros named Jaguar, Leopard, and Puma as well...

Still, I cannot totally disregard my mild enjoyment with the story. The truly "new" characters, such as the European pro/playboy and his soon-to-be-ex-wife, are quite amusing. The story is also not heavy reading, having taken me all of about three hours to finish. The ending is a bit abrupt, as others have mentioned, but my biggest problem was that it seemed way too familiar and not original at all.

Not his best, but still entertaining!.......2007-05-28

Dan Jenkins is a legendary golf writer, sports writer, and Texan. It's the last category that most often gets him in trouble with readers unfamiliar with his earlier work. His style in these books is broad, boasting, and full of bs, which fits the main character to a tee. If you wish to read reverential works on the majesty of golf, or if you wish to indulge in the fantasy and mystery of golf, you should read someone else. Jenkins loves golf, and his golf novels are rich with the lore and history of golf, but he does not take the sport (or its country club practioners) too seriously. He punctures pomposity and self-importance while still communicating a love for the game. I enjoyed these books for their entertaining yarns, which I think was the author's intent. Long live Dan Jenkins, all things golf, and all things Texan.

Better than Dead Solid Perfect.......2007-01-18

As a long-time Jenkins fan, I can confirm that this work and the sequel rank among his very best. I can't imagine anyone even vaguely familiar with the game of golf who could get through a few pages without chuckling out loud.

Disappointing.......2007-01-05

Fans of the Dan Jenkins of old will be disappointed in "Money-Whipped Steer Job....." and its sequel, "Slim and None". The old Dan Jenkins poked politically incorrect fun at everybody and everything. The new Dan Jenkins has sacred cows. Unless you, too, think very highly of Fort Worth, TX, you'll find little to connect you to these books.

Filth in the Fast Lane.......2002-07-25

Sorry, I couldn't make it past page 100. Full of vulgar back and forth conversation, supplemented by some "insider" tour lingo? which does anything but make one laugh.

This is not representative of the good golf fiction that's out there. Sure there is a market for this stuff. Some of us opt out. Jenkins sure will be off my author to read list.

If this represents reality of big-time tour golf, shame on the whole lot. Society is beginning to tire of heroes that are anything but.
