Micro and semimicro methods

response articles: micro and macro analysis

the present study reports an analysis of response articles in four different disciplines in the social sciences, i.e., linguistics, english for specific purposes (esp), accounting, and psychology. the study has three phases: micro analysis, macro analysis, and e-mail interview. the results of the micro analysis indicate that a three-level linguistic pattern is used by the writers in order to cr...

Semimicro determination of cellulose in biological materials.

The quantitative determination of cellulose in biological materials presents some difficult problems. The moisture con~ent of cellulose varies with the relative humidity, so that accurate analyses require that moisture determinations be made under carefully standardized conditions. Cellulose ordinarily occurs in association with lignin, polyuronide hemicelluloses, and xylan cellulosans. Matrone...

Semimicro flame photometry of serum sodium and potassium.

BE PIONEER WORK of Lundegardh (1) established flame photometry as an analytical technic, but widespread interest was not aroused until 1945, when Barnes et al. (2) described a simple instrument which was much faster and at least as accurate as existing chemical methods for the determination of certain metals. A dormant clinical interest in the measurement of serum sodium and potassium was there...

A new simple semimicro method for colorimetric determination of urea.

Semimicro method for the determination of salicylate levels in blood.

WIDE VARIETY OF METHODS are available for the determination of salicylate in body fluids and tissues. These range from the spot test type used at the patients’ bedside to the organic solvent partition methods employed in more exact studies. In recent years, the method of Brodie et al. (1) involving extraction with ethylene chloride has gained widespread acceptance. The method commonly employs 1...
