Since we did not know that we were in NDT we were unaware of others in the field and felt it to be a rather new field, we felt like explorers For us it was new and we carried on for some time blissfully unaware that Prof. Hughes had demonstrated the effect almost 100 years before and Foerster had solved most of the practical problems more than a decade earlier. We only gradually became aware that we were not alone.

Among the earlier studies of reaction kinetics in mechanically stirred slurry reactors may be noted the papers of Davis et al. (D3), Price and Schiewitz (P5), and Littman and Bliss (L6). The latter investigated the hydrogenation of toluene catalyzed by Raney-nickel with a view to establishing the mechanism of the reaction and reaction orders, the study being a typical example of the application of mechanically stirred reactors for investigations of chemical kinetics in the absence of mass-transfer effects. 

Similar results have been obtained by Bonilla and Perry 79>, Insinger and Bliss 801, and others for a number of organic liquids such as benzene, alcohols, acetone, and carbon tetrachloride. The data in Table 9.9 for liquids boiling at atmospheric pressure show that tile maximum heat flux is much smaller with organic liquids than with water and the temperature difference at this condition is rather higher. In practice the critical value of AT may be exceeded. Sauer et al.m] found that the overall transfer coefficient U for boiling ethyl acetate with steam at 377 kN/m2 was only 14 per cent of that when the steam pressure was reduced to 115 kN/m2.

In the pharmaceutical industry, GA is used in pharmaceutical preparations and as a carrier of drugs since it is considered a physiologically harmless substance. Additionally, recent studies have highlighted GA antioxidant properties (Trommer Neubert, 2005 Ali Al Moundhri, 2006 Hinson et al., 2004), its role in the metabolism of lipids (Tiss et al., 2001, Evans et al., 1992), its positive results when being used in treatments for several degenerative diseases such as kidney failure (Matsumoto et al., 2006 Bliss et al., 1996 Ali et al., 2008), cardiovascular (Glover et al., 2009) and gastrointestinal (Wapnir et al., 2008 Rehman et al, 2003).

Interest in the PGs has recently reverted to their precursor arachidonic acid (AA), which seems to be able to act intracellulary as a second messenger, and also extra-cellularly. In this latter mode it may play a part in LTP. It is known that AA produces a long-lasting enhancement of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus that resembles LTP and in fact activation of NMDA receptors leads to the release of AA by phospholipase A2 (see Dumuis et al. 1988) and inhibition of this enzyme prevents the induction of LTP. AA has also been shown to block the uptake of glutamate (see Williams and Bliss 1989) which would potentiate its effects on NMDA receptors. This would not only prolong LTP but also cause neurotoxicity.

Ten individually numbered copies of a method are used in a laboratory and kept centrally in a drawer. An analyst makes several unauthorized copies of the method for his/her own convenience. The method becomes obsolete and an updated version is reissued, the obsolete official versions are collected from the drawer and ten copies of the updated version are issued in their place. This all takes place while the analyst with the photocopies is away on holiday. The photocopies of the obsolete version are not withdrawn because only the analyst knows about them. On return from holiday, the analyst continues to use the obsolete version, blissfully ignorant of the update. Two different versions of the method are now in use.

The theoretical chemistry of a hundred years ago comes across as an exciting, vibrant activity, hotly disputed at the laboratory benches of the leading research schools. By comparison, present-day chemistry has very little by way of an innate theory to stimulate the experimentalist. Instead, the necessity of specialization dictates that theoretical pursuits be performed elsewhere and stimulate chemical research by some two-way flow of information. This cross-fertilization however, has dwindled gradually until it finally disappeared during the latter half of the twentieth century. That is why it is not uncommon today, to find synthetic chemists designing new advanced materials such as nano-structures or superconductors, in blissful ignorance of the basic theories that determine the behaviour of these systems.
