50th Symposium on Analytical Chemistry

Heidelberger symposium on the 50th anniversary of fluoropyrimidines.

‘‘Targeted’’ therapies are dominating new cancer therapeutics during the past decade. However, the term is not precise because drugs referred to as ‘‘cytotoxics’’ are often targeted, and drugs developed as targeted often exert many of their antitumor actions by ‘‘off-target’’ effects; that is, results may bear little relationship to the drug reaching the presumed target. Examples abound in both...

Twentyfourth Symposium on Nucleic Acids Chemistry Held

19th International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry.

In late August, hundreds of chemists gathered on the eastern edge of Europe, some sipping raki while looking over the Bosporus Strait to the Asian continent. More than 900 people attended the 19th International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry in Istanbul from August 29 to September 2, 2006, hosted by the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC) and the Turkish Association of Pharmace...

Introduction to Reserve Bank of Australia 50th Anniversary Symposium

Around the globe, economies and policy frameworks have changed significantly since the Reserve Bank of Australia commenced operations in 1960. In most countries, the role of the government in product and labour markets has declined, trade barriers have been reduced substantially and there has been extensive liberalisation of financial systems. There have also been substantial changes to the fra...

Analytical Chemistry Division Commission on General Aspects of Analytical Chemistry* Classification and Definition of Analytical Methods Based on Flowing Media

The aim of this report is to classify analytical methods based on flowing media and to define (standardize) terminology. After the classification and a discussion of terms describing the systems and component parts, a section is devoted to terms describing the performance of flow systems. The list of terms included is restricted to the most relevant ones; especially 'self-explanatory' terms are...
