Academy publications

Le Roy, who had been a referee of both papers, told Marat that, given the topics he was investigating, he would have to convince Lavoisier, who was by now a leading member of the Academy, that his experiments were significant. Then in 1780 Lavoisier informed his colleagues in the Academy that Marat was claiming that the Academy supported some of the conclusions in the second paper. Because this was not true, the Academy publicly denied the claim. Marat had no trouble discovering who had denounced him. Lavoisier had made himself an enemy. 

Volume 1, Academies, lists academy publications in the library of the British Museum prior to 1885. Volume 41, Periodical Publications, includes periodicals prior to 1900. Listing is by place of issue, with sublisting by societies. 

The academy publications discussed hitherto, periodicals or serials, are scheduled publications. In addition to these the academy issues occasional volumes dealing with specific topics a conference called to discuss spectroscopic methods, or fiotation problems, or the theory of chemical bonds. The papers presented at such conferences and the discussion of these papers will appear in one or more volumes, usually called Trudy Konferentsii po. .. or Trudy Soveshchaniya po. . . followed by the name of the topic of the conference. A similar type of material is presented by the work of a committee appointed by the academy to study a certain field or problem. The work of the committee may extend over several years. Papers written by members and papers invited by them appear in one or more volumes, usually as Trudy Komissii po. . . followed by the subject of the investigation, such as Andliticheskoi Khimii. 

Another type of academy publication is a memorial volume honoring one of their great scientists—e.g., Sbornik posvyashchennyi semidesyatiletiyu akademika A. E. Ioffe, 1950, Voprosy mineralogii, geokhimii i petrografii, issued as the Fersman memorial volume in 1946, and the Belyankin memorial volume of the same year. 

Large scale exchanges are best entered into with the Biblioteka Akademii Nauk SSSR (Library of the Academy of Sciences) and with the Gosudarstvennaya Biblioteka im. Lenina (Lenin State Library). The former will provide only academy publications. The Lenin State Library operates on a much wider basis, but its exchangeable material does not include the above-mentioned categories... 

The academy publications are reserved primarily for members of the academy and the research staff of its numerous research institutes. The chances of a paper originating in a university being published in one of the big publications are not very great. Thus, the bulk of university research is reported in university publications.

Government Publications. Government, society, and academy publications must be included in any source list. The FIAT Review of German Science (5) and our U. S. government publications must be considered.

Only after all these publications did Einstein s academic career begin privatdozent in Berne, 1908 associate professor at the University of Zurich, 1909, the year of his first honorai y degree (Geneva) full professor at Karl Ferdinand University, Prague, 1911 professor at the ETH, 1912 professor and member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Berlin, 1914-1932, where he arrived four months before the outbreak of World War I. 

Mayer had married in 1842, and for the first few years his marriage was a vei y happy one, but then his life began to fall apart. Between May 1845 and August 1848 three of his children died. A nasty priority controversy with Joule became public when their claims were read and discussed by the Academy of Science in Paris. Mayer was upset that his writings on energy conservation were not more widely read, and that they often were not appreciated by the few scientists who did read them. And, as the final blow, he was accused by local scientists of being more a mad philosopher than a competent scientist.

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... 

The authors are happy to acknowledge the help and support of those people and institutions who assisted in fulfilling the task of writing this book. The present English edition includes numerous original results obtained by the authors in cooperation with their graduate students and coworkers after publication of the Russian version of the book in 1982. We appreciate very much their collaboration and the important role of the seminar of the Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory in the Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion of the Russian Academy, where most of them work.

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. 

For the public, we made a video documentary of materials science education in which the National Academy of Sciences collaborated with WQED. This program was broadcast on public television as part of the Infinite Voyage series. The video on materials science education, called Miracles by Design , is useful for showing to students who are not sure what this field is all about. It covers the spectrum physics, chemistry, metals, ceramics, and polymers. An article in Business Week called The New Alchemy covered this field in some detail for the business community-...

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
