CRC handbook of chemistry and physics on CD-ROM, 2006 version.0849391334 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 on CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). , 2006 version. Ed. by David R. Lide. CRC Press 2006 $159.95 CD-ROM QD65 The Handbook is an enviable publishing property--one of the few titles that any STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) A microscope that can image down to the atomic level. An STM uses a piezoelectric tube with a tiny sharp tip at the end that is moved within nanometers of the object being sampled. house would die for. This CD-ROM gives us the material in the 86th editon, "2006 version" with the usual special utilities unique to electronic publishing: structure searching; interactive tables in spreadsheet format; tables linked to structures; cross-table searching in a single pass. New material has been added to this edition, including entirely new topics, such as electron inelastic mean free paths, 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, 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) |
