Allied Laboratories

At the same time, Dow moved to bolster its position in pharmaceuticals by acquiring a leading mid-sized firm, Marion Laboratories. Dow consolidated its new property with Merrell-Dow Pharmaceutical and its Allied Laboratories to form Marion Merrell Dow, the ninth-largest pharmaceutical company in the United States. To finance this move, it took the company public while retaining 67 percent of its equity. ... 

The second form of insurance was the decision to manufacture the G agents themselves, first in allied laboratories, and later in full scale production plants, which turned out the deadly liquid by the ton for loading into bombs and shells. Although Canada never manufactured nerve agents herself, her claim to be uninvolved in offensive plans for chemical warfare is undermined by the third step taken by the three wartime allies.

Control laboratories in the canned food industry are usually divorced from the research organization to a lesser degree than is the case in the chemical and allied industries. For this reason, a closer relationship exists between the problems of the control laboratory and the research laboratory. Although from a research standpoint this condition is often considered undesirable, it has considerable merit in the case of the canned food industry, in which production may be seasonal and often of rather short duration. The collection of control data in many instances may also serve for research purposes—for example, in the case of soil analyses, which may be correlated with agricultural research designed to improve crop yields. Because the variables which affect the quality of canned foods must usually be investigated rather extensively, and often over a period of more than one year, the application of statistical methods to data collected for control purposes can conceivably make a substantial contribution to a research program. 

Many academic and industrial scientists serve as advisors to various federal agency programs in materials science. For example, the evaluation board for the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) at NIST contains representatives from Bell Laboratories, DuPont, General Electric, Allied Signal, and numerous universities. The private sector would like to improve the interactions at the strategic policy level, but some bureaucratic handicaps must be overcome. 

Sequestered in Ghairen s fortress laboratory, lied to by both her new ally and his daughter s enigmatic governess, Alivet doesn t know whom to trust or where to turn for answers. But driven to undo her sister s fate, Alivet races to hone her skills in time—even as time runs out"... 

This book will serve as ready reference in the laboratory or class room and help to solve many problems of cell studies in agriculture and allied fields including allelopathy. Information provided can be use to determine the effects and mechanism of action of allelochemicals at the cellular levels. It will be useful for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing allelopathic work, plant physiologists, biochemists and other plant science specialists. We have tried to provide appropriate solutions to the problems of cell studies. The users of this book can select suitable methods, according to the available facilities. 

Thus, reaction (8.30) could specify either an excited singlet or triplet S02. The excited state may, of course, degrade by internal transfer to a vibration-ally excited ground state that is later deactivated by collision, or it may be degraded directly by collisions. Fluorescence of S02 has not been observed above 2100 A. The collisional deactivation steps known to exist in laboratory experiments are not listed here in order to minimize the writing of reaction steps. 

Marielle Brinkman and her colleagues at the Battelle Memorial Institute do some of the analytical chemistry described in this book work that demonstrates that lawn chemicals do not stay put. Not only has her work on public health and safety been an inspiration, but her carrying it out in a laboratory institution otherwise known for developing weapons of mass destruction is a wonder. She is a well-hidden but paramount example of those Donna Haraway has called allies in the laboratory. 

Chemical warfare has its roots in antiquity. Periodically, armies have used dmgs, mostly extracted from poisonous plants, against their opponents. In more recent centuries, chemical laboratories have gone on to produce new and more sophisticated compounds along with more effective devices for their delivery. The American army paid little or no attention to this type of weapon, however, until the 20th century. When German troops used toxic gases in World War I, they found the U.S. and its allies almost totally unprepared. 

Arndt, F. Eistert, B. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1935, 68, 200. Fritz Arndt (1885—1969) was bom in Hamburg, Germany. He discovered the Arndt—Eistert homologation at the University of Breslau where he extensively investigated the synthesis of diazomethane and its reactions with aldehydes, ketones, and acid chlorides. Fritz Arndt s chain-smoking of cigars ensured that his presence in the laboratories was always well advertised. Bernd Eistert (1902-1978), bom in Ohlau, Silesia, was Arndt s Ph.D. student. Eistert later joined I. G. Earbenindustrie, which became BASE after the Allies broke the conglomerate up after WWII.
