Pubhc concerns about pesticides in the diet of infants and children resulted in an expert committee convened by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences which devoted four years to the review of all available data. A consensus report was issued in 1993 (80). A number of recommendations for further work to more precisely define what constitutes the diet of infants and children were made. No risk could be estimated. The residue data reviewed by the panel were mainly from monitoring studies conducted by the PDA using multiresidue methods to analyze fresh produce and market basket samples collected from various geographic areas (81,82). These and other rehable scientific studies have demonstrated that relatively few food samples contain detectable residues. Most residues are far below estabhshed tolerances which are set above the maximum residue found in treated raw agricultural... 

The organizing committee extends a cordial invitation to participate in International conference on Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Analysis (AC CA-05) which is hold in scenic city of Kyiv, Ukraine, from. Septemher 12 to 18,2005. Tills conference belongs to die series of Ukrainian conferences in analytical chemistry established in 1970 by Ukrainian chemical society and chemical division of Ukrainian Academy of. Sciences. AC CA-05 is a 7 conference in analytical chemistry in Ukraine and it is dedicated to the centenary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist, Anatoly K. Babko for his expertise in analytical chemistry and in the chemistry of complex compounds. Tlie current conference is organised by Analytical Scientific Council at Academy of Sciences of Ukraine under collaboration with European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuClicMS) and sponsored by Intemational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) and by the Intemational Association for the Promotion of Co-operation with Scientists from the New Independent States of the Eormer Soviet Union (INTAS). 

The scientific work of Anatoly K. Babko was conducted mainly at the Kyiv. State University where he chaired the Department of Analytical Chemistry as from 1944 to 1960, after when during 1960 to 1968 he retained the title of Professor. His scientific duties were performed primarily at the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, where he headed the Department of Analytical Chemistry from 1941 to 1968. 

The largest storehouse of personal origin documents of outstanding scientists of Ukraine (about 350 funds, including more than 40 - scientists-chemists) is the Archivist Institute of National librar y of Ukraine. Among them the ar chival fund of academician of Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Anatoly Kirillovich Babko, the honored worker of a science, professor, founder of the Kyiv school of chemists-analysts. He is the author of 420 scientific works and several monographs and textbooks. 

Family of the scientist has presented documentar y materials to Academy of sciences in June 1974. Among them, the most important ar e manuscripts, typewritten copies about 100 scientific works of the scientist and working materials to them. Its includes articles, reports, monographs, the textbooks written by A.K. Babko during last 25 year s working writing-books with extracts, marks on various questions, abstracts of chemical literature responses and reviews on thesis of Ph.D. and doctor s degrees, on ar ticles, books, textbooks. For example, early works Product of solubility , To a technique of definition of strontium in minerals (1940-s), many unpublished works in 1940-1960, etc.

Ipatieff never received the honor he coveted the most, the Nobel Prize. However, he continued to publish voluminously and, ever the practical scientist, he obtained numerous patents. He continued to receive honors in the United States and internationally. He became a member of the National Academy of Sciences and received the prestigious Gibbs medal for his many achievements. Ipatieff lived long enough to see the petroleum industry transformed with process technologies that he created and that were rooted in his early scientific research. The first platforming plant, the cuhniiiation of his life s work in catalytic research, came on line just shortly before his death in 1952. 

Physicists around the world gradually came to appreciate Mayer s scientific work, but by this time they were unsure whether he was still alive and, if so, what his mental condition was. In his later years he finally reaped some fruit from his scientific labors. In 1859 he received an honorai y doctorate from the University of Tiibmgen. This was followed in 1871 by his reception of the Copley Medal from the Royal Society of London, and then the Prix Poncelet from the Paris Academy of Sciences. It is unknown how appreciative Mayer was of this belated notoriety when he died of tuberculosis in 1878. 

Fundamental research in pyrotechnics is published in the US in Combustion and Flame by the Combustion Institute, and in the UK in Combustion Science and Technology and in Fuel . Germany has the new, journal, Propellants and Explosives (German Chemical Society), which is the successor to the discontinued Explosivstoffe . A necessary caveat is that these journals are strongly oriented toward combustion or propulsion so that only rarely do they yield pyrotechnic information. Likewise, the various publications of the learned societies contain much data on thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and instrumental analysis which are useful in the study of pyrotechnics. In the USSR the situation is somewhat better as Physics of Combustion and Explosion (Fizika Gorenia i Vzryva) of the Siberian Branch Academy of Sciences USSR is exclusively oriented toward subjects of interest, as several scientific institutes are primarily devoted to research in pyrotechnics. The same authors do publish also, however, in the journals of the Academy of Science USSR (of which there are several) as well as in the corresponding journals of the academies of the various republics, so that the impression is created of a high level of activity... 

In 1951, he received the Emil Fischer Medal of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, and in 1957, the Grosse Verdienstkreuz (Grand Service Cross) of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Technische Hochschule in Stuttgart conferred upon him the honorary doctorate of Dr. ing. h.c. The Saxon Academy of Science and the Leopoldina in Halle, East Germany, elected him an honorary member. His scientific work, which found expression in 328 publications and 16 patents, is characterized by originality and a comprehensive command of experimental method.

The work reviewed in this chapter has been carried out in collaboration with Satoru Fujiyoshi, Tomonori Nomoto, andTaka-aki Ishibashi. We started this series of studies in Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology and continued in Kobe University with support from Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology of the Japan Science and Technology Agency, and from a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research in Priority Area Molecular Nano Dynamics .

Patterson needed every ounce of cantankerousness that he could muster in order to maintain his battle against lead in the environment. A series of three prestigious scientific reports encapsulate his decades-long campaign. In 1971, the first comprehensive study of lead levels in 30 years was issued by a National Research Council panel for the National Academy of Sciences. The committee, which included six representatives from the lead industry, excluded Patterson entirely because he was considered too extreme and unwilling to compromise. The report concluded that the concentration of lead in urban air was rising slowly.
