CRC handbook of chemistry and physics; a ready-reference book of chemical and physical data, 86th ed., 2005-2006.0849304865 CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. handbook of chemistry and physics; a ready-reference book of chemical and physical data, 86th ed., 2005-2006. Ed. by David R. Lide. CRC Press 2005 2544 pages $139.95 Hardcover QD65 At three and one-quarter inches thick, the 86th edition of this essential reference has been printed in slightly larger format for ease of use. With the same goal, each of the 16 sections, the appendices, and index are marked with thumbtabs, and the layout and font have been changed. Much new material has been added to this edition, including entirely new topics, such as electron inelastic mean free paths The inelastic mean free path (IMFP) is an index of how far an electron can travel through a solid before losing energy. If a monochromatic primary beam of electrons is incident on a solid surface, the majority of incident electrons lose their energy because they , proton affinities, vapor pressures (solvent activities) for binary polymer solutions, selected properties of semiconductor solid solutions, and electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions. Several of the tables have been expanded and updated, including: bond dissociation energies In chemistry, bond dissociation energy, D0, is one measure of the bond strength in a chemical bond. It is defined as the standard enthalpy change when a bond is cleaved by homolysis, with reactants and products of the homolysis reaction at 0K (absolute zero). , NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Washington, DC, www.nist.gov) The standards-defining agency of the U.S. government, formerly the National Bureau of Standards. It is one of three agencies that fall under the Technology Administration (www.technology. atomic transition probability tables, properties of semiconductors, atomic masses and abundances, threshold limits for airborne contaminants airborne contaminants, n.pl materials in the atmosphere that can affect the health of persons in the same or a nearby environment. Also referred to as air pollution. , and the standard transfomed Gibbs energy of formation for important biochemical species. ([c] 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
