Applied Radiation Chemistry: Theory, Methods and Applications

Metadiscourse in Applied Linguistics and Chemistry Research Article Introductions

This study examined disciplinary rhetoric in research articles, focusing on different traditions in structuring text discourses from a metadiscourse-move analytic approach. The corpus consisted of 72 research article Introductions (RAIs): 36 in applied linguistics and 36 in chemistry. Swales’ CARS model (1990, 2004) and Hyland’s interpersonal model of metadiscourse (2005) were used as analytica...

Metagenomics: Theory, methods, and applications

Metagenomics is a young overarching discipline that seeks to understand population dynamics and interactions among vast microbial worlds that have not been revealed by traditional culture methods in the microbiology laboratory. Metagenomics is emerging as an essential scientific discipline: there are far-reaching implications in understanding ecosystem responses to changes in the natural enviro...

Applications of graph theory in chemistry

Graph theoretical (GT) applications in chemistry underwent a dramatic revival lately. Constitutional (molecular) graphs have points (vertices) representing atoms and lines (edges) symbolizing malent bonds. This review deals with definition. enumeration. and systematic coding or nomenclature of constitutional or steric isomers, valence isomers (especially of annulenes). and condensed polycyclic ...

Chemistry Visualized and Applied

Aging: a theory based on free radical and radiation chemistry.

The phenomenon of growth, decline and death—aging—has been the source of considerable speculation (1, 8, 10). This cycle seems to be a more or less direct function of the metabolic rate and this in turn depends on the species (animal or plant) on which are superimposed the factors of heredity and the effects of the stresses and strains of life—which alter the metabolic activity. The universalit...
