Banks, Robert

In 1951 Robert Banks and Paul Hogan of Phillips Petroleum discovered that ethylene could be polymerized under rather mild conditions of temperature and pressure to afford high molecular weight polyethylene using chromium trioxide as the catalyst. This invention laid the foundation for both the Phillips and Union Carbide processes for ethylene polymerization (both use heterogeneous chromium catalysts). 

Captain Robert Heath, a British mathematician, said in his Natural and Historical Account of the Islands of Scilly, Several of these islands afford tin, and some also lead and copper. The tin is discoverable by the banks next the sea, where the marks of the ore in some places are visible upon the surface this I was assured by some very considerable Cornish tinners, in the year 1744.. . . Dionysius Alexandrinus speaks thus of the Hesperides, our present Scilly.. . . ...

Test Bank The test bank, by Robert Balahura of the University of Guelph, contains two sets of 75 multiple-choice questions and 10 short-answer questions for each chapter. The test bank is available in both printed and electronic form. 

Thanks are also due to Professor Robert N. Haszeldine and Dr. Eric Banks, who originally stimulated my interest in fluorinated molecules during my undergraduate years at UMIST, and Dr. Michael Green, who reignited my curiosity as a postdoctoral student. Finally, I am indebted to my colleague, Professor Dave Lemal, who showed me how to make OFCOT, for his enthusiasm for the fundamental principles of chemistry, and his continued support and encouragement. 

We would like to thank Drs. Robert Engle, Jean Karle, Dennis Kyle, Wil Milhous and Robert Miller of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research for their advice and collaborations in preceding years, members of the Medicinal Chemistry Department (University of Mississippi), and Dr. James D. McChesney (NaPro Biotherapeutics). Support of this work was funded by the Department of Defense USAAMRDC (WRAIR), UNDPAVorld Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), NIAID, and the University of Mississippi Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Robert L. Lichter, The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation I am going to lower the intellectual level a bit. I have been contemplating a notion that was triggered by a comment somebody made. I mentioned it before We cannot find them. I am reminded of the old saw about Willie Sutton, why he robbed banks—because that is where the money was. In this case, go where the people are. There was a time when, if you wanted to hire an African American scientist, you called up Dr. McBay. He knew where every African American scientist was, because he taught most of them. Many of his former students are or have been here.
