Introduction

Ever need a fact or quotation on glycosides? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term “glycosides,” including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in many unexpected examples for glycosides, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under “fair use” conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster’s Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org).

Description

Ever need a fact or quotation on "glycosides"? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this word. It represents a compilation of "single sentences" and/or "short paragraphs" from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term "glycosides," including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. This is not an encyclopedic book, but rather a collage of statements made using the word "glycosides," or related words (e.g. inflections, synonyms or antonyms). This title is one of a series of books that considers all major vocabulary words. The entries in each book cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This data dump results in many unexpected examples for "glycosides," since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a computer-generated linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under fair use conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

(I).

Aqueous Antiseptic Based on Bispyridiniumalkanes: Patented by Sabine Behrends, Peter Goroncy-bermes, Burghard Puchstein and Jörg Siebert on February 4, 2003. Abstract: Alcohol-free, aryloxy alcohol-free antiseptic, characterized in that it comprises a) 0.01 to 10 % by weight of bispyridiniumalkane, in particular octenidine dihydrochloride, and b) 0.01 to 20 % by weight of non-ionic surfactant selected from alcohol polyalkoxylates, polysorbates and alkyl glycosides, and optionally one or more excipients, in particular isotonic antiseptic; and use of the antiseptic as a skin disinfectant or irrigation solution for antiseptic measures on skin, mucous membrane, wounds or internal organs.

Aromatized Items for Smoking: Patented by Thomas Pienemann, Gunther Peters and Hans Noe on November 22, 2000. Abstract: The invention relates to aromatized items for smoking.
