INSTRUMENTATION
57 A
On the cover. Fourier transform spectrometry in the ultraviolet. Although less well established than FT-IR, FT-UV is relevant to analytical emission spectroscopy, especially in the wavelength region between 250 and 190 nm. Anne P. Thome of Imperial College summarizes the technique, describes the difficulties involved in extending FTS into the UV, and discusses its current role in atomic spectrochemistry
ANALYTICAL APPROACH
79 A
Understanding what happens in a fire. Today's homes and offices are filled with synthetic materials whose fire properties are just now being defined. Bertsil B. Baker, Jr., and Mary A. Kaiser of Du Pont describe their efforts to reconcile apparent differences between combustion experiments in a small-scale laboratory and in a real-life, fullscale setting
