Modern Instrumental Techniques: The Battle ol Acronyms Listed below are some modern instrumental techniques which, in some eases, have rather amusing acronyms. Furthermore, some have not, as yet, actually been performed, hut are still in the realm of the imagination. The challenge to the reader is tocorrectly identify each as to whether it is real he., an existing technique) or fictitious (i.e., it has not, as yet, actuglly been performed). Answers are given on page 1117 at the bottom of the page. 20) Fold-Over Correlational Spectroscopy (FOCSY) 1) Driven Equilibrium Fourier Transform NMR Spectroscopy 21) Time-Resolved Non-Equilibrium Molecular Diffraction 1nRPTI -, 22) Coherent Rotation of Atoms for Cancellation of Unpolarized 2) Insensitive Nucleus Enhancement by Polarization Transfer Protons: (CRACUP NMR Spectroscopy) NMR (INEPT) 23) Nonlinear Procaryotic Cytology 3) Continuous-Wave Quantum Biology 24) Parabolic Atomic Voltametry (PAV) 4) Laser NMR 25) Mass Spectral Dialysis 5) Chemically Induced Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (CIDNP) 26) Scalar Heteronuclear Recoupled Interactions (by) Multiple 6) Laser Photoelectron Conglomeration Pulse: SHRIMP NMR Spectroscopy 7) Two-Dimensional Paramagnetic Osmology 27) Atomic Phase-Transfer Spectroscopy (APTS) 8) Spin-Echo Correlation NMR Spectroscopy (SECSY) 28) Three-Dimensional Mass Spectrometry 9) Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY) 291 Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ICR) 10) Nuclear Overhauser Effect NMR Spectroscopy (NOESY) 301 Incredible Natural Abundance (enhancement by) Double 11) Fourier Transform Ultrasonic Cleaning Quantum Transfer Experiment (INADEQUATE) 12) Pulse UltraSonics (PUS) 31) Nuclear Atomic Spectroscopy for Transforming Yttrium 13) Spin-Forbidden Picosecond Rotational Spectroscopy INASTVI \. 14) Quasi-Elastic Laser Light Scattering (QELLS) , 32) Fast-Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry (FAB-Mass 15) Time-Resolved Magnetic Resonoscopy Spec) 16) Coherent High-Field Oscillating Thermodynamics (CHOT) 33) Rotating-~rameOverhauser Effect Spectroscopy (ROESY) 17) Two-Dimensional Paramagnetic Osmology 34) Distortional Enhancement (by) Polarization Transfer NMR 18) Magnetic Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy (DEPT NMR Spectroscopy) 19) Chemiionization Osmotic Spectroscopy \---
