The book is addressed to those workers whether in academic institutions or in industrial laboratories, whose work is concerned, either directly or indirectly, with the surface area or the pore structure of finely divided or porous solids. 

In the development of thiophene chemistry three periods can be clearly distinguished the Victor Meyer era, the Steinkopf period, and the modem development starting with the discovery of the synthesis of thiophene from butane and sulfur, making thiophene potentially available in unlimited amounts. Hartough in his well-known monograph, has reviewed the intense and hectic thiophene research toward the end of the 1940 s carried out mainly at the Socony-Vacuum laboratories, but also at many academic institutions. An article by Nord et al. appeared in 1955 in which the research work in thiophene chemistry at Fordham University, as well as progress in general up to 1954, was reviewed. 

Each of these laboratories is a government-owned/contractor-operated facility selected from industiy, academia, and university consortia. As of 1999, the most prominent civilian contractor was Lockheed Martin, the operator of Oak Ridge and Sandia, and the major academic institution was the University of California, administrator of Los Alamos, Lawi ence Berkeley, and Lawi ence Livermore. 

This book will be of major interest to researchers in industry and in academic institutions as a reference source on the factors which control radical polymerization and as an aid in designing polymer syntheses. It is also intended to serve as a text for graduate students in the broad area of polymer chemistry. The book places an emphasis on reaction mechanisms and the organic chemistry of polymerization. It also ties in developments in polymerization kinetics and physical chemistry of the systems to provide a complete picture of this most important subject. 

Special efforts to help academic institutions acquire these instruments are needed. Future chemical engineers will be required to understand the design and operation of sophisticated equipment in the analysis of materials properties. An early exposure to these techniques is highly desirable, and is probably indispensable to quality research at the graduate level. 

Academic institutions should make substantial commitments (e.g., cost sharing and maintenance for instrumentation and facilities) to make additional outside investments in chemical engineering as effective as possible. This will be particrrlarly needed to justify additional funding for advanced instmmentation and computers needed for research and educatiom... 

Rapra Review Reports comprise a unique source of polymer-related information with useful overviews accompanied by abstracts from hundreds of relevant documents. A Rapra Review Report is an excellent starting point to improve subject knowledge in key areas. Subscribers to this series build up a bank of information over each year, forming a small Ubrary at a very reasonable price. This series would be an asset to corporate libraries, academic institutions and research associations with an interest in polymer science. 

The first recorded reference to the use of expert systems in pharmaceutical product formulation was in the London Financial Times in the spring of 1989 [3], closely followed by an article in the autumn of the same year [4], Both referred to the work then being undertaken by personnel at ICI Pharmaceuticals, UK (now AstraZeneca) to develop an expert system for formulating pharmaceuticals ab initio. Since that time several companies and academic institutions have reported their experiences. 

Metabolic and enzyme engineering have received a lot of attention in academic institutions and are now being applied for the optimization of biocatalysts used in the production of a diverse range of products. Engineered microorganisms, even with non-native enzyme activities, are being used for novel products and process improvements for the production of precursors, intermediates and complete compounds, required in the pharmaceutical industry (Chartrain et ai, 2000). 

Pioneering academic institutions have contributed very much to the development of methods and programs on design and scheduling. It. seems to be worthwhile to mention the... 

Academic institutions have been included, and in many instances, there have been commercial consequences, although that has not been the mission of the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense mission is defense and national security, not the development of compact disk players. But in fact, for example, in electronics and devices, fundamental materials research was sponsored by the Department of Defense. Various organizations and activities in parallel in industry (at Lincoln Laboratory, IBM, and General Electric) led to the development of the semiconductor laser in the early 1960s. 

Progress in the polymer industry has always come from two sources academic institutions and industrial... 

The present volume gives a general and at the same time rather detailed review on main research developments in the field of dendrimers (oligomer and polymer) during the past several years, but also offers views and visions of the future - of what could soon be achieved in this area at the interface between small organic molecules and macromolecules (polymers). We are sure that the rapid development of fractal-shaped molecules will continue in academic institutes as well as in industry - there is still more to come.

The NEXUS User-Supplier-Club Household Appliances was founded during the first European conference on Commercialisation of Microsystems" held in Dortmund in 1999. This Club has grown rapidly to a current membership of more than 40 from major and smaller appliance companies, sensor and MST supplier companies and from academic institutions all over Western Europe. 

Universities and other research institutions account for the majority of genetic engineering and food technology research and development. Therefore, they are well positioned to play a safety-assurance role as well as provide up-to-date information on technological advances and applications. While industry sponsorship raises some concerns, the public views academic institutions as a credible and trustworthy source of information. This being said, a more active effort to establish and maintain integrity and impartiality of research by these institutions is important. 

To date, cellular and gene therapy products submitted to FDA have included clinical studies indicated for bone marrow marking, cancer, cystic fibrosis, AIDS, and inborn errors of metabolism and infectious diseases. Of the current active INDs approximately 78% have been sponsored by individual investigators or academic institutions and 22% have also been industry sponsored. In addition to the variety of clinical indications the cell types have also been varied. Examples include tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and lymphocyte activated killer (LAK) cells, selected cells from bone marrow and peripheral blood lymphocytes, for example, stem cells, myoblasts, tumor cells and encapsulated cells (e.g., islet cells and adrenal chromaffin cells). 

Prior to 1940 there was little or no education directed toward polymer chemistry. With the contributions of Carothers and others that transformed the practice of polymers into a science, and with the leadership of Herman Mark and others (informal graduate and postgraduate), polymer education took root but rapid expansion and general acceptance by more traditionally oriented academic institutions was slowed by many barriers. Only since 1974 has there been a concerted effort to include education in the basic concepts of polymer chemistry into the undergraduate curriculum. 

These "sorties" into polymer chemistry continue today with a greater number of academic institutions acting as nucleating agents around which series of short courses on related topics are offered.
