Academia scientist

It is characteristic of U S. labor markets for scientific and engineering persormel to experience severe shortages and overcompensating excesses. Now is the time for the federal government and tmiversities to build a research and education base in academia that can respond flexibly and efficiently to the persormel demands that will inevitably come. Now is the time to prepare a cadre of chemical engineers who will interact as easily and successfully with life scientists as chemical engineers cmrently do with chemists and physicists. 

Many or most of the results from data mining in industry went unpublished. More recently, when a few academic researchers gained access to data mining software, the weakly active compounds they found were excitedly published. This difference between industry and academia in handling similar kinds of results is a matter of priorities. In industry, the hrst priority is to hnd marketable products and get them out the door. In academia, the priority is to publish (especially in high-impact journals). Contrary to a common misconception, scientists in industry do publish, a point we return to below. 

The research work is supported by grants from the National Swedish Board for Technical Development and the visiting scientists Gao Z M and Zhang P Y by fellowships from Academia Sinica and Ministry of Education, P.R. of China, respectively, which is gratefully acknowledged.

This series of fora which began in 1977 was planned and organized, under my chairmanship, by distinguished scientists from academia and high level industrial representatives. The planning committee included several Nobel Laureates who worked hard to make successful the series of fifteen fora. The following dates, venues, topics, and... 

A chemical that can be purchased from a catalog cannot, needless to say, be patented as composihon of matter by the company that purchases it. The primary value of such com-pormds is generally to test a structure-achvity hypothesis, from which chemists and biochemists then move forward to design more specifically achve molecules. Reading the literature carefully and attending scientific conferences will keep scientists apprised of some compounds that are available from academia, but direct contact with the business development offices of major universihes will, not infrequently, alert interested parties to available substances that may not be widely known in the literature. 

The fall of 1983 also saw the North Atlantic Treaty Organization host an Advanced Studies Institute in Cosenza, Italy, entitled Chemometrics Mathematics and Statistics in Chemistry. One hundred scientists—a most unusual collection of chemists, engineers, and statisticians from academia, industry, and government—representing a dozen countries assembled to discuss the role of sophisticated multivariate statistics in the daily routine of an analytical chemistry laboratory. 

Department of Materials Science and Engineering Given became the first program chairman and served until 1969. These details of academia aside, it was at Penn State that Given s career as coal scientist flourished. 

Its goal is to further the understanding of scientific issues relating to nutrition, food safety, toxicology, risk assessment, and the environment by bringing together scientists from academia, government, and industry. 

Most trivial names, such as polystyrene, are source-based names. Hitherto, the Commission has not systematically recommended source-based names for homopolymers because it considered that the more rigorous structure-based names were more appropriate for scientific communications. However, since the publication of Nomenclature of Regular Single-Strand Organic Polymers in 1976, scientists, in both industry and academia, have continued to use trivial names. Even the Commission itself adopted (1985) a source-based nomenclature for copolymers because of its simplicity and practicality. Based on these facts, the Commission has now decided to recommend source-based...
