Big Book of Physical Sciences
Resource aimed at aimed at science students, about the fundamental principles of scientific knowledge, and those branches of science that have their basis in the principles of physics and chemistry. Covers measurement, kinematics and graphing, dynamics, work, power and energy, kinetic theory, temperature, and heat, waves, atomic and nuclear physics.
     Author: Mocarski, Don
     Subjects: physics education, thermodynamics
     DeweyClass: 530
     Resource type: book
Codata Key Values for Thermodynamics
Data table presenting the final results of a project to establish internationally agreed values for the thermodynamic properties of key chemical substances. Use of these recommended, internally consistent values is encouraged in the analysis of thermodynamic measurements, data reduction, and preparation of other thermodynamic tables. The table includes the standard enthalpy of formation at 298.15 K, the entropy at 298.15 K, and the quantity H ° (298.15 K)-H °(0). The values given in the table represent the consensus judgement of an international group of experts.

Entropy on the World Wide Web
Information about the applications of entropy in a range of disciplines including the physical sciences, information and coding theory, economics, biology, the humanities, and social sciences. The purpose of these pages is to promote the appreciation, understanding, and applications of entropy in its many forms. Provides a brief overview of the role of entropy, a collection of links to on-line expository articles and textbooks, and suggestions for further off-line reading. These pages were originally created by Chris Hillman.

Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
Covers all fields of scientific inquiry in which mass spectrometry can play a role, including chemistry, physics, geology, and environmental science as well as the biological, health, and life sciences. Fundamental subjects include instrumental principles, design, and demonstration, structures and chemical properties of gas-phase ions, studies of thermodynamic properties, ion spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, mechanisms of ionisation, theories of ion fragmentation, cluster ions, and potential energy surfaces. Application papers focus primarily on the development or validation of a mass spectrometric method. Tables of contents available online.

Solar Oscillations Investigation
An international project to study the interior structure and dynamics of the Sun. The SOI program was responsible for design and operation of the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instrument on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft launched on 2 December 1995. As well as news and press releases about the project for the general public, there is a helioseismology bibliography and information about participation in the project and access to data for scientists and students.
