The JSPS/NUS Seminar on Analytical Chemistry is part of an ongoing exchange programme to promote direct contact between scientists from Japan and Singapore. This programme also provides avenues for scientists to present new research findings and discuss areas of mutual interest. Mostly in the area of Analytical Chemistry, 28 scientific papers were presented in this seminar, of which 12 were by Japanese scientists and 16 by Singapore scientists. Since the seminar was aimed at encouraging participation from a broad spectrum of analytical chemists, it was not confined to specialised topics. Instead, a wide range of analytical techniques were discussed, including electrochemical, spectroscopic and separation methods.Contents: Amperometric sensors based on biocatalyst electrodes (Mitsugi Senda, Tokuji Ikeda and Toshiyuki Osakai)Retention prediction of substituted phenols in reversed-phase HPLC (S F Y Li and H K Lee)Ultratrace metal analysis in sea water by inductively coupled plasmaatomic emission spectrometry (Hiroki Haraguchi and Tasuku Akagi)Liquid membrane as a separation tool - A review (M S Uddin)Nondestructive spectrochemical analysis (Yohichi Gohshi)Analysis of diatomic photoelectron spectra (S Y Lee)Nonionic surfactant in solvent extraction of metal chelates (H Watanabe, T Saitoh, Y Kimuraand T Kamidate)The application of infra-red spectroscopy and optical microscopyin the failure analysis of plastics (K Y Ng)Trace iron in wallpaper and other building materials (H W K Ong)Ion channel sensors (Yoshio Umezawa and Masao Sugawara)PIXE in analytical chemistry (K F Mok and S M Tang)Some applications of synergistic extraction to analytical chemistry (Hideo A kaiwa and Hiroshi Kawamoto)FPLC analysis of fetal calf serum (W K Teo, K C Loh, W K Neo and G S Yap)Potentiometric detection in flow analysis (N Ishibashi and T Imato)X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermogravimetry of electroconducting polymers (H S O Chan and M Y B Teo)Some new aspects of ion-selective electrodes in nonaqueous solutions (K Izutsu and T Nakamura)Quantitative determination of organic volatiles of fresh orangefruit juice by headspace capillary gas chromatography (O L Lum, M K Wong and C K Lee)Mole sensitivity and its periodicity in graphite-furnaceatomic - absorption spectrometry (E Iwamoto and T Kumamaru)Cybernetics and analytical chemistry (H Gunasingham and M L Wong)Thermal decomposition of 1-nitropropane and N-propyl nitrite- analysis of products by photoelectron spectroscopy (W S Chin, C Y Mok and H H Huang)Catalytic-kinetic methods of analysis for traces of elements (T Kawashima and S Nakano)Deterioration of paint due to alkali in cement (H W K Ong and S C Lee)A new type of photo-excitable ion and enzyme sensors (Tetsuo Osa and Jun-ichi Anzai)Glass transition temperature determined by dynamic thermal mechanical methods (Wayne W Y Lou)Surface reaction studies by pulsed field desorption mass spectrometry (G K Chuah)Utilization of platinum thin ring electrodes as HPLC detectorand in anodic stripping voltammetry (S B Khoo and B T Tay)Microfabrication of biosensor (Eiichi Tamiya and Isao Karube)Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric studies on the in vivo phosphorylation state of rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase (S G Ang)Readership: Chemists.Key Features:A unique interdisciplinary collection of essays relating to philosophy and complexityDiscusses a wide variety of topics including epistemology, evolution, and emergenceIncludes novel contributions from leading figures, such as Edgar Morin and Don Mikulecky
