The solid-state structures of these compounds are, at least at a cursory glance, dominated by OH.. . OH hydrogen bonds. Interestingly, the supramolecular chemistry of such systems can be traced back to the structure determination of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene in 1936, and Alexander Wells subsequent analysis of this structure, interpreting the topology as a utp-net (or (10,3)-d net with his own nomenclature).

Reactions in which a product remains in the him (as above) are complicated by the fact that the areas of reactant and product are not additive, that is, a nonideal mixed him is formed. Thus Gilby and Alexander [310], in some further studies of the oxidation of unsaturated acids on permanganate substrates, found that mixed hlms of unsaturated acid and dihydroxy acid (the immediate oxidation product) were indeed far from ideal. They were, however, able to ht their data for oleic and erucic acids fairly well by taking into account the separately determined departures from ideality in the mixed hlms. 

The phenomenon of bacterial resistance to antibiotics was already known by the pioneers of the era of antibiotics, like Paul Ehrlich, who coined the term selective toxicity as the basic principle of antimicrobial therapeutics, as well as Gerhard Domagk, the inventor of the sulfonamide drugs, and Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of the penicillins. When penicillin G was introduced into clinical practice in 1944, as many as 5% of the isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were resistant to penicillin, while 5 years later the percentage was 50%.

A play about Alexander Seton. "This play, by the Edinburgh playwright, Andrew Dallmeyer, was performed in the early 1980 s at the Theatre Workshop in Edinburgh. Andrew Dallmeyer has written many plays for the theatre and radio, and is a well known Scottish writer"... 

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) recognised meteorites as being a source of extraterrestrial material. Several well-known chemists carried out analyses of material from meteorites, starting at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Thus Louis-Jacques Thenard (1777-1857) found carbon in Alais meteorites these results were confirmed in 1834 by Jons Jacob Berzelius, who by dint of very careful work was also able to detect water of crystallisation in meteoritic material.

No information on potentially susceptible populations was located for HCFC-141b. A structurally related chemical, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, has been tested in metered-dose inhalers for the treatment of asthma. Test subjects included adult and pediatric asthma patients as well as individuals with severe COPD. No adverse effects were reported (Smith et al. 1994 Taggart et al. 1994 Ventresca 1995 Woodcock 1995). The structurally related chemicals trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) and dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) are presently used in metered-dose inhalers for the treatment of asthma but are phased out under the Montreal Protocol of 1987 (Alexander 1995). Structurally related compounds including 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichlorofluoromethane were also tested for cardiac sensitization in a dog model with experimentally induced myocardial infarction. In these experiments cardiac sensitization occurred under the same conditions as in healthy dogs (Trochimowicz et al. 1976). 

In 1979, Kosmatschof wrote an open letter to Soviet Party Leader Brezhnev, in which he described the absurdity and desperateness of his situation. The famous dissident and philosopher Alexander Zinoviev, who had lived in Munich since 1978, passed on this letter to the German radio station Radiosender Deutsch Welle. Three months later, Kosmatschof finally received permission to leave the country,... 

I soon had another interesting, rather ironic, encounter. At a 1993 event in Santa Cruz honoring the 50 anniversary of the accidental discovery of the subjective effects of LSD by Albert Hofmann, I met Dr. Alexander Sasha (my intended counterpoise in Bad Trip to Edgewood) in the cafeteria line. As we chatted, it became apparent that we agreed far more than we differed. We hit it off so well, in fact, that he and his wife Ann later invited Judy and me to lunch at their home in Lafayette, California.
