The graphical method and the iterative method for analysing kinetic data for metal speciation in waters are described. The graphical method involves successive subtractions of one component from the total concentration of the metal remaining, beginning with the slowest component. The iterative metho

Abstract
Competing firstβ and secondβorder reactions of transient molecular species (e.g., triplet states and free radicals) are a common occurrence in kinetic studies such as flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis. We have developed a method for analyzing the decay kinetics of any species (Y) whose disappearance is described by βdY/dt = k~1~Y + k~2~Y^2^. The computer program (written in timeβsharing BASIC) employs an iterative technique to obtain the leastβsquares estimates of the three parameters in the integrated rate equation.

We have studied the kinetics of a reaction in which starting materials A and B react to form the products C and D directly, as well as by way of two additional intermediate reactions. In the first intermediate reaction, A and C react to form D and E, and in the second intermediate reaction, B and E
Isoelectric focusing is a new method of separation in which amphoteric substances, in particular proteins, can be separated in a stable pH gradient owing to the differences in their isoelectric points. The method is extremely efficient and permits separation of proteins whose isoelectric points diff
The authors have utilized a previously proposed mathematical equation (introduced originally for development of empirical equations) as a useful tool for evaluation of first-order reaction rate constants. By assigning physical significance to the parameter a, the equation can be utilized in obtainin
