Computability in an Introductory Course

The programming approach to computability presented in the textbook by Kfoury, Moll, and Arbib in 1982 has been embedded into a programming course following the textbook by Abelson and Sussman. This leads to a course concept teaching good programming practice and clear theoretical concepts simultaneously. Here, we explain some of the main points of this approach: the halting problem, primitive ...

Miniaturization in Analytical Chemistry

Miniaturization is rapidly growing, with novel ideas emerging in recent years. Like other fields, analytical systems have been affected by this new technology. Concretely, the capacity to carry out laboratory operations on a small scale using miniaturized devices is very appealing. Micro total analysis systems (mTAS), also called lab-on-a-chip, have renewed interest in scaling laws in the last ...

Chemometrics in Analytical Chemistry

Chemometrics is a scientific discipline closely connected with statistics and mathematics. It has an important role in analytical chemistry. Modern analytical methods provide opportunity to collect large amounts of data for various samples. For handling analytical results different chemometric methods are employed, such as basic statistical methods for the determination of mean and median value...

Analytical chemistry in Japan.

The International Congress on Analytical Chemistry was held in Japan, under the sponsorship of IUPAC and the Science Council of Japan in April 1972. This is a report on the progress of analytical chemistry in Japan which I gave as the opening lecture of the Congress, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry. Analytical chemistry courses were first e...
