Best, Charles

BEST. CHARLES H. (1899-1978). Born in Maine, Best was educated at the University of Toronto, where he distinguished himself as a student of biochemistry. He collaborated with the late Dr Frederick Banting in the isolation of the hormone insulin, lie later became head of the insulin division of the Connaught Laboratories of the University as well as of the Banting and Best Research Institute. He also developed histaminase (an antiallergic enzyme) and rile anticoagulant hepann. 

Charles Algernon Parsons was born in London on June 13, 1854, the son of a wealthy, aristocratic Anglo-Irish family that was scientifically veiy distinguished. His father, William Parsons (third Earl of Rosse), a member of parliament, was an engineer, astronomer, and telescope-maker who had built the largest telescope in the world. His mother, Mary Countess of Rosse, best remembered as a photographer, was adept at architectural design and cast-iron foundry work.

Finding the best estimate of the free energy difference between two canonical ensembles on the same configurational space, for which finite samples are available, is a nontrivial problem. Charles Bennett [11] addressed this problem by developing the acceptance ratio estimator, which corresponds to the minimum statistical... 

Was this your answer Gas laws work best for gases at low pressures and high temperatures. At atmospheric pressure, the distances between air molecules are much greater than the sizes of the air molecules. Also, air is well above its boiling points (N2 boils at-i96°C and02 at -i83°C). This, of course, permitted the gas law discoveries of Boyle, Charles, Avogadro, and others.
