About the Conference

There were also materials about the conference, which included an address. A story from the U.S. about an attempt to lynch Paul Robeson, and a story about American nuclear testing.

The comparatively new field of nanostructured materials has its own journals (though the first one has now been merged with another, broader journal) and frequent conferences it is a good example of a parepisteme which appears to be successful. The best single source of information about the many aspects of the field is a substantial multiauthor book edited by Edelstein and Cammarata (1996). 

Goldratt has outlined the necessary and sufficient conditions for a technology to confer a benefit [23]. To generate productivity from a new technology he advocates answering a set of questions about the technology. Let s use them in detail to examine software solutions in the pharmaceutical industry. Goldratt s questions are as follows ... 

In certain areas, particularly the rapidly developing area of organo-metalhc spedation, concern has been expressed that artifacts may lead to false results. One example are the doubts about the accuracy and suspicion of possible artifact formation of methyhner-cury (MeHg) duriri analytical procedures, mainly distillation and alkaline dissolution, which were expressed for the first time at the Conference Mercury as a Global Pollu-tanf in 1996 (Hintelmann and Evans 1997 Hintelmann et al.1997). 

Information about the market introduction of new additives is easily accessible by means of various annual reports in Plastics Engineering (e.g. refs [75,76]), Modern Plastics International [77], Plastics Additives and Compounding (e.g. ref. [78]) or otherwise (Additives for Polymers, etc.), as well as regular conferences such as AddCon, AddPlast and SPE meetings. For business opportunities for 2002-2006, see ref. [79]. 

The meetings on energy were resumed with the November 1994 meeting which took place in Washington, DC. The chosen subject was Global Energy Demand in Transition The New Role of Electricity . The conference was attended by about 60 participants and covered the topics described in the following Precis ... 

Allelopathy is newly emerging multidisciplinary field of agricultural research. A lot of allelopathy research work has been done in various fields of agriculture and plant sciences. However, standard methods are not being used by workers due to lack of a compendium on the techniques, and hence the results obtained are not easily comparable with each other. This causes problems to researchers working in underdeveloped / third world countries in small towns, where library and research facilities are not available. Therefore, to make available the standard methods for conducting allelopathy research work, this multi-volume book has been planned, with one volume each for each discipline. In all the conferences held since 1990 s a need has always been felt for a manual on allelopathy research methods. This book series aims to provide basic information about various methods to research workers, so that they can conduct research independently without the requirement of sophisticated equipments. The methods have been described in a simple way just like a DO IT YOURSELF book. 

Consensus conferences and citizens conferences are extremely helpful in cases of conflicts with the public, but here again it is difficult for any criticized processes to be changed for the better, and negative trends are rarely turned around. The difficulty is that a citizens group cannot be expected to learn about the complexity of necessary solutions after only a few days of intensive briefing. 

Yes, Braus said, he had sent on the weekly reports to Buetefisch. Sometimes he reported in person, too. There were other meetings, called "coal conferences," which both Buetefisch and Ambros attended on the site, and that was how both men were "always informed" about the procurement of inmates for Fuerstengrube and knew how they were treated at the mine site. 

Under these circumstances, of course, the conference on mobilization matters took on highly significant features. We realized suddenly — like a stroke of lightning from a clear sky — that a matter which one had treated more or less theoretically could become deadly serious, and furthermore, it became clear to us that the preparations which we had made up to now for the invasion of Czechoslovakia had to be considered rather defective after all. I heard only later, after I had sworn an oath next day in the Reich Economic Ministry, in greater detail about the steps we had taken, which of course I cannot discuss here in detail. 

Q. Was there any conference among the I.G. people about the preparation for war ...
