# data[].attributes.description
Some Electrical and Optical Aspects of Molecular Behaviour deals with dipole moments, molecular science, and molecular polarizability. The author explains the refractive index and the electric permittivity including polarization, polarizability, the Mossotti-Clausius equation, molar polarization, and molar refraction. The author also addresses the results of dipole moment measurements, the significance of the values obtained, and how these can determine molecular structural features.  By using the Debye equation, one can determine the molecular moments of polar solutes in non-polar solvents. The book discusses how molecular polarizability and molecular polarization are measured and how these factors are associated with molecular structure. He also explains light scattering and the molecular weight of solutes by employing the research made by Debye which determines the weights, shapes, and interactions of molecules in solution. The author also addresses the form and order of the magnitude of interaction energies and cites typical examples of these occurrences. These energies often represent an electrostatic nature; in some ways, they can be understood as being quantum-mechanical in nature. This book can be helpful for students taking up dipole moments, molecular polarizability or molecular science.

Handbook of Dental Pharmacology and Therapeutics

# data[].attributes.description
Handbook of Dental Pharmacology and Therapeutics is a supplement to lectures given in dental schools on the subject of pharmacology in dental practice. The author describes dental therapeutics and pharmacology including the  prescription of drugs, legislation of dangerous drugs, posology (dosage), weights and measures, frequency, or administration. He explains the sedatives, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants: he notes that narcotics can depress (not uniformly) all the tissue in the human body. The author also describes the mode of action and the stages induced in general anesthesia; the classification, action, and the therapeutics of analgesics (antipyretics, opiates, synthetic opiates). An interesting subject concerns analeptics or restoratives to resurrect the dying that includes stimulants of the central nervous systems (ephedrine, amphetamine, strychnine). Visits to the dentists should include obtundents and counter-irritants that dull sensation to pain. The author notes that in drilling cavities, the sharper the bur, the less obtundent needed. The author also addresses other drugs (hemostatic, anticoagulants) and those acting on the cardiovascular system or on the blood vessels. This handbook can prove useful for dentists, dental aides, pharmacologists, practitioners of general medicine, as well as students of dental medicine.
