The 3rd International Conference on Green Chemistry (ICGC-3) was held in Ottawa, Canada, 15-18 August 2010, with the theme “The Road to Greener Industry”. Bringing together academia and industry to trade ideas about green chemistry was the purpose of the meeting. Dedicated sessions on industrial aspects, presented by industry speakers, were well attended by both academics and industrial representatives. Academic sessions, in turn, presented new ideas to both groups. Major topics in the conference were green energy (biofuels, H2 production, CO2 capture), green engineering (energy efficiency, greener processes, separations), policy (industry, government, NGOs), green chemistry education, green transportation (materials, additives, powertrain) and green chemical synthesis (benign routes, solvents, catalysts, biopolymers). The 348 delegates travelled to Ottawa from 33 countries, making it a truly international discussion.This issue contains five important lectures from the conference. Peter Wells gives us a rather sobering discussion of some of the unintended consequences of green improvements. Zheng Cui, Evan S. Beach, and Paul T. Anastas describe many of the exciting green chemistry developments coming from China in the past three years. John Andraos announces a new database and algorithm that allows industry to evaluate the efficiency of synthesis plans. Achim Stolle and Bernd Ondruschka compare the performance and energy efficiency of solvent-free reactions performed by ball milling versus other methods such as microwave. Ken Seddon describes the use of new ionic liquids as catalysts for the oligomerization of linear terminal olefins to make lubricant oils.May these articles continue the discussion, stimulate more ideas, and help us all go down the Road to Greener Industry.Philip G.

The IUPAC Conferences on Physical Organic Chemistry are one of several series that arose from Union initiatives in the service of chemistry, and have since become established through regular biennial events on the international stage. Following an inaugural conference in 1972, the enduring topicality of physical organic chemistry in all its expressions has ensured that this series continues to prosper.In a return to Korea after an interval of 14 years since ICPOC-13 (Inchon), the 20th IUPAC Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry (ICPOC-20) was held in the Exhibition & Convention Center, Busan, Korea on 22-28 August 2010. An ambitious scientific program set out to demonstrate the rich diversity of current advances and challenges through the medium of 22 plenary lectures, including presentations by four Nobel laureates, and supported by an extensive program of invited and contributed works in the form of lectures and posters. The conference was well attended by local and international delegates.This collection offers Pure and Applied Chemistry readers a representative glimpse of the scientific program, with papers by six leading authorities on topics such as models for glycosyl transfer in water (I. H. Williams), ballistic conduction in single-molecule conductors (P. W. Fowler), superelectrophilic chemistry (J. Roithová), anion receptors in highly competitive solvents (J. Jurczak), nanotube design for water splitting catalysis (M. Prato), and enzymatic catalysis (J. P. Richard). These fine works contribute new insights into mechanism and reactivity, and will enrich the archival record ((http://www.iupac.org/publications/pac/conferences/family/ICPOC/)) of a series that continues to nurture the rigorous underpinnings of the chemical sciences.The forthcoming 21st event in the ICPOC series will take place at Durham University, UK on 9-13 September 2012 under the Chairmanship of Prof. I. Williams (University of Bath, UK).James R. BullScientific Editor, Pure and Applied Chemistry

The 26th International Carbohydrate Symposium (ICS 2012) took place in Madrid, Spain from 22 to 27 July 2012. One thousand delegates and accompanying persons attended the meeting from all continents. The meeting was a tremendous success, gathering both senior scientists and several hundreds of young glycoscientists.
This conference is the most important one in carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry, and the participants presented their latest contributions in the different aspects of the field. From organic synthesis to biomedicine, passing through structural aspects, molecular recognition features, materials science applications, and mechanistic biochemistry advances, among many others. From the chemical aspects, it is today evident that the glycochemistry field is alive and continuously expanding. Synthetic chemistry methods permit access to a variety of oligosaccharides, both neutral and charged, in amounts that in turn allow the study of their biochemical and biomedical properties at a level of complexity that was elusive a few years ago. Additionally, the latest advances in purification techniques together with the improvement in analytical tools permit working with pure glycoconjugates under many different experimental conditions.
This multidisciplinary issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry gathers 10 representative contributions from eminent scientists working in the field. They encompass the different aspects described above. The importance of NMR techniques to unravel the conformation, dynamics, and molecular recognition features of oligosaccharides is described, as well as the importance of natural and modified saccharides as sources of new nanomaterials or molecular transporters. Organic synthesis methods together with enzymatic approaches are presented as complementary approaches to obtain saccharides and their glycomimetics, showing different properties as ligands and/or inhibitors and strikingly diverse structures. Modifications of polysaccharides to access novel biomaterials are also considered. Fundamental mechanistic aspects are described from the chemical and biochemical perspectives. Therefore, we feel that this PAC issue serves to show to the chemical community different aspects of modern carbohydrate chemistry, which is today at the cutting edge of diverse scientific disciplines and acts as a glue to bring together scientists with different expertise to tackle key problems for science and society.Jesús Jiménez-Barbero and Sonsoles Martín-Santamaría

Attitudes Toward Over‐the‐Counter Access To Oral Contraceptives Among a Sample Of Abortion Clients in the United States
Authors: Grindlay Kate , Foster Diana Greene , Grossman Daniel 
Published: March 2014

ContextWomen having abortions are at high risk for future unintended pregnancy, and removing the prescription requirement for oral contraceptives may increase continuation and adoption of this effective method.MethodsA survey fielded from May to July 2011 collected information from 651 women aged 15–46 seeking abortion services at six urban clinics from across the United States. Descriptive statistics, chi‐square tests and logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate women's interest in over‐the‐counter access to oral contraceptives.ResultsEighty‐one percent of respondents supported over‐the‐counter access to oral contraceptives; while 42% of women planned to use the pill after their abortion, 61% said they would likely use this method if it were available over the counter. Thirty‐three percent of women who planned to use no contraceptive following their abortion said they would use an over‐the‐counter pill, as did 38% who planned to use condoms afterward. In multivariable analysis, several subgroups had increased odds of likely over‐the‐counter use: women who were older than 19 (odds ratios, 1.8 for those aged 20–29 and 1.6 for those aged 30–46), were uninsured (1.5), had ever used the pill (1.4), had had difficulty obtaining a prescription refill for hormonal contraceptives (2.7) or planned to use the pill postabortion (13.0). By contrast, compared with white respondents, women of other races or ethnicities were less likely to say they would use over‐the‐counter pills (0.4–0.7).ConclusionsInterest in a hypothetical over‐the‐counter oral contraceptive was high in this sample, and this delivery model has the potential to reduce unintended pregnancy among abortion patients.

Published: March 2014

Abstract
Having been identified as an early contributor to the intensifying academic study of the (American) screenplay and screenwriting, the author presents a personal account of the circumstances which led to her own research in the 1990s and the publication of Written for the Screen: The American Motion-Picture Screenplay as Text in 1997. Additionally, she offers some reflections on the consolidation and institutionalization of screenwriting research and sketches a number of possibilities for future work in the field.
