INSTRUMENTATION spectral properties of u n u s u a l species. R I M S has advanced beyond t h e ana­ lytical curiosity stage a n d is r e a d y for use in situations similar t o those d e ­ scribed here. Diode lasers will have a definite role in t h e future d e v e l o p m e n t of t h e technique. R I M S needs t o be further evaluated a n d developed for improved quantification in t h e areas of precision a n d a c c u r a c y . E v e n w i t h these limitations, however, it is proving to be useful in a variety of applications. This research was sponsored by the U.S. Depart­ ment of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract DE-AC05-840R21400 with Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. The authors also acknowledge D. L. Donohue, D. E. Goeringer, and W. H. Christie for helpful discussions.

The Basics of Technical

Communicating

C

ommunications skills—they're a must for successful scientists. Now you can in­ crease your effectiveness and improve your communication skills with this new, easyto-use reference book. With 18 chapters, this handy guide starts with the basics, such as eliminating wordiness and jargon in technical communications, using correct punctuation, and selecting appropriate verbs. From there, you'll learn how to assemble your papers and gather data for both written and oral reports. You'll learn correct documenting procedures, including footnoting and writing a bibliog­ raphy. You'll cover the use of visual aids and graphics, abstract preparation, the use of computers and proofreading. A wide variety of practical applications is cov­ ered in this volume, including laboratory and business reports, journal publications, grants and proposals, business correspondence, re­ sumes, and memos. The Basics of Technical Communicating is a convenient, essential ref­ erence—one that you'll use time and time again! It complements The ACS Style Guide and Writing the Laboratory Notebook to give scientists a complete package for professional development in technical communication skills.

J. P. Young (left), R. W. Shaw (center), and D. H. Smith (right) are research staff members of the Analytical Chem­ istry Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. They share a common in­ terest in the development of RIMS as a useful analytical tool. They also have individual interests in general applications of lasers to chemical analysis, application of spectral tech­ niques to the study of transuranium elements and their progeny, processes involved in vapor-phase deposition, and isotope ratio measurements in in­ organic MS.
