Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities. New York, H. H. Wilson Co., 1933 to date. Annual. Compiled by Association of Research Librarians gives titles for dissertations appendix shows which publications of universities in United States contain abstracts gives information on photoprints, microfilms, and other facilities that universities have for providing copies. 

For all practical purposes, theses and doctoral dissertations can be classified as unpublished data. They are a fruitful source of information and should not be overlooked. Few of these are published in full, some in part, and less than half are printed at all. Nevertheless, copies are available in the libraries of the institutions at which they were written. The problem is to discover that a dissertation exists on a particular subject of interest. It has been essentially solved by the annual appearance of Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities (I), first published in 1933. It lists the doctoral dissertations in all fields. Under each subject clas cation, the institutions at which the dissertations were prepared are listed in alphabetical order with subsequent listing by author. Although the classifications are broad, a subject which involves two or more fields can be located easily through the alphabetical subject index. This index, of course,... 

Partial financial support for the research was provided by American University (AU) New Faculty and Senate research awards. We should like to thank Ms. Nnenna Nwokekeh for specimen collection and Ms. Annette Stange, Ms. Karen Byrne, and Ms. Patrina Merlino for brine shrimp assay studies. We also appreciate assistance of Mr. Martin Shapiro at AU with literature searches. We also would like to thank Ms. Esther Katz and Dr. Byron Backus for helpful discussions and critical review of the manuscript.

Perhaps one of the most exciting developments in the chemistry of quinoxalines and phenazines in recent years originates from the American University of Beirut in Lebanon, where Haddadin and Issidorides first made the observation that benzofuroxans undergo reaction with a variety of alkenic substrates to produce quinoxaline di-AT-oxides in a one-pot reaction which has subsequently become known as the Beirut reaction . Many new reactions tend to fall by the wayside by virtue of the fact that they are experimentally complex or require starting materials which are inaccessible however, in this instance the experimental conditions are straightforward and the starting benzofuroxans are conveniently prepared by hypochlorite oxidation of the corresponding o-nitroanilines or by pyrolysis of o-nitrophenyl azides. 

The simulation of molecular (or atomic) dynamics on a computer was invented by the physicist George Vineyard, working at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York State. This laboratory, whose biography has recently been published (Crease 1999), was set up soon after World War II by a group of American universities.

Chloroacetophenone was among the many samples of possible war gases prepared by E. Emmet Reid and sent to the Bureau of Mines in 1917. Because there were no testing facilities for lachryma-tors until the central laboratory was completed, the value of this compound as a tear gas went unnoticed. It was January, 1918, before the results of the physiological tests were reported which showed chloroacetophenone to be superior to any other tear gas in use at the time (23). The Johns Hopkins University branch laboratory, in cooperation with a unit at American University then developed a method of synthesis. Although chloroacetophenone was not produced in quantity before the war ended, it became the standard tear gas used by civilian police after the war (38). 

Public information about infrastructures and control systems is available to potential hackers and intruders. The availability of this infrastructure and vulnerability data was demonstrated by a university graduate student, whose dissertation reportedly mapped every business and industrial sector in the American economy to the fiber-...
