Chemical Analysis in Small Domains: Introduction

An Introduction to Signal Processing in Chemical Analysis

The interfacing of analytical instrumentation to small computers for the purpose of online data acquisition has now become almost standard practice in the modern chemistry laboratory. Using widely-available, low-cost microcomputers and off-the-shelf add-in components, it is now easier than ever to acquire data quickly in digital form. In what ways is on-line digital data acquisition superior to...

Analysis of Agro-Chemical Inputs Use in Maize Production among Small-Scale Farmers in Iwo Local Government, Osun State, Nigeria

In spite of the development of various improved cultivars of maize, yield in Nigeria has continued to be hampered by the over cropped nature of most farmlands as well as a wide range of pests and diseases. This study therefore carried out an analysis of agro-chemical inputs’ use in maize production among small scale farmers in Iwo Local Government Area of Osun State. Specifically, the study inv...

Laser applications to chemical and environmental analysis: an introduction.

This issue of Applied Optics features papers on the application of laser technology to chemical and environmental analysis. Many of the contributions to this issue, although not all, result from papers presented at the 1996 OSA Topical Meeting on Laser Applications to Chemical and Environmental Analysis, which was held in Orlando, Florida, in March 1996. This successful meeting, with nearly 100...

Motif analysis for small-number effects in chemical reaction dynamics.

The number of molecules involved in a cell or subcellular structure is sometimes rather small. In this situation, ordinary macroscopic-level fluctuations can be overwhelmed by non-negligible large fluctuations, which results in drastic changes in chemical-reaction dynamics and statistics compared to those observed under a macroscopic system (i.e., with a large number of molecules). In order to ...
