Alabama A M University

I am grateful to Drs. Shawky and Mahasin Tadros of Alabama A M University, Normal, AL, for their assistance in determining juglone concentrations and nitrifying bacteria, respectively.

Before 1991, only four African American students had been awarded Ph.D. degrees in chemistry at LSUBR. Richard Evans was the first African American Ph.D. (1971) in the history of the LSUBR chemistry department. He is now retired from Alabama A M University where he was the chairman of the chemistry department for a number of years. Mildred Smalley (1972) is now vice chancellor for research and strategic initiatives at Southern University. Don Prier and Aris Gallon both joined the local Dow Chemical facility. The excellence of African American Ph.D.s had been proven USU simply needed to actually recruit these students for the graduate program. 

This work has been supported by AFOSR, NSF, a NSF/CNRS international program, and by the Center for Advanced Multifunctional Nonlinear Optical Polymers and Molecular Assemblies (CAMP) funded by ONR. The authors would like to thank CAMP collaborators for fruitful discussion, Dr. N. V. Kukhtarev from Alabama A M University for his contribution to the study of the non-Bragg orders, Dr. P. M. Allemand from Donnelly Corporation, Tucson, for his help during the impedance measurements, and Drs. A. Fort, M. Barzoukas, and C. Runser from IPCMS France for the EFISH characterization experiments.

Plant Material Collection of the rhodophyte G. skottsbergii was done manually during scuba dives within 3.5 km of Palmer Station on Anvers Island off the western Antarctic Peninsula (64° 46.5 S, 64° 03.3 W) at a depth of 5-12 m. Identifications were made by Prof. Bill J. Baker (University of South Florida) and Prof. Charles D. Amsler (University of Alabama at Birmingham). 

Yvette Jackson, a Jamaican, graduated with a BSc (special) degree in chemistry (1976), and a PhD in chemistry (1983), from the University of the West Indies, Mona campus (UWI, Mona). Her PhD work, under the supervision of Dr. Vernon G. S. Box, involved synthesis of rotenoids -oxygen heterocycles popularly known for their insecticidal activity. She joined the staff at UWI, Mona, in 1983 as an assistant lecturer. Since then she has done postdoctoral work (1986) and many collaborative summer research stints with Prof. Michael P. Cava and Dr. M. V. Lakshmikantham at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, USA, and has risen up the ranks to professor at the University of the West Indies. Her research interests are in the areas of synthetic organic chemistry and organic reaction mechanisms. 

A third part of an electric circuit is a rectifier, a device that allows the flow of electrons in only one direction. As early as 1974, two researchers, Ari Avram at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center and Mark A. Ratner at Northwestern University, suggested the possibility that single molecules might he constructed that would operate as rectifiers. Some 23 years later, that goal was achieved by a team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa led by Robert M. Metzger. 

When students ask astronomer William Keel of The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa how many stars exist in our Milky Way Galaxy, his standard answer is about as many as the number of hamburgers sold by McDonald s. It is difficult to be precise because distance and dust absorption dim incoming light. Measurements of the relative numbers of stars with different absolute brightness suggests that for every Sun-like star there are about 200 faint red M-class dwarfs. (As you ll learn, the class of a star is determined by its surface tem-... 

Bom in 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. Hrabowski graduated at age 19 from Hampton Institute with highest honors in mathematics, and he received his M.A. (mathematics) and Ph.D. (higher education administration/statistics) at age 24 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 

The discoveries that generated the extensive news coverage in early 1987 were the initial report of superconductivity in the lanthanum compound by Bednorz and Muller,and the observation of superconductivity in the compound YBa2Cu307 at 92-94 K, well above the boihng point (77 K) of liquid nitrogen. The latter result was the outcome of a collaboration between the research groups of C. W. Chu of the University of Houston and M. K. Wu of the University of Alabama.
