✦ Synopsis

A major contribution to interpretations of biological organization in terms of chemical kinetics was that of Kacser (1957Kacser ( , 1960)). He started from an awareness that living organisms have ''systemic properties'' which depend on organization and functional relationships and so are not simply the result of an ''additive'' combination of their constituent parts:

There are no concepts in chemistry or physics equivalent to genes, regulation, epigenesis, pleiotropy, pheno-copy, acquired character, etc., precisely because these are properties only possible in systems of greater complexity than have been subjected to detailed analysis by those sciences. (Kacser, 1957, pp. 192-193

This paper explores the role of budget travellers in pioneering destination development. It is argued that travellers are not a homogenous group, and that differences in travel experience, time and finances have resulted in varying degrees of tolerance with respect to visitor capacity, prices and au

The fragmentation of proton-bound clusters [ B,-H-B, 1 + of amine bases B, and B, were studied at collision energies of 10-50 eV in the quadrupole collision cell of a hybrid tandem mass spectrometer. The relative ahuodances of the fragment ions B,H+ and BzH+ were correlated with the proton affinitie

The polymerization behaviour of a typical spiro-orthoester, 2-Phenoxymethyl-l,4,6-trioxa-spirol4,4)-nonane, was investigated. The polymerization rate decreases abnormally with conversion; the effect is explained by a mechanism involving deactivation of the active centres by the polymer.
