Celebrations

Onsager s solution to the 2D Ising model in zero field (H= 0) is one of the most celebrated results in theoretical chemistry [105] it is the first example of critical exponents. Also, the solution for the Ising model can be mapped onto the lattice gas, binary alloy and a host of other systems that have Hamiltonians that are isomorphic to the Ising model Hamiltonian. 

Inserting the definition of G gives the celebrated Onsager reciprocal relations [4, 5]... 

Here we consider the total interaction between two charged particles in suspension, surrounded by tlieir counterions and added electrolyte. This is tire celebrated DLVO tlieory, derived independently by Derjaguin and Landau and by Verwey and Overbeek [44]. By combining tlie van der Waals interaction (equation (02.6.4)) witli tlie repulsion due to the electric double layers (equation (C2.6.lOI), we obtain... 

The new addition of the building was completed by the end of 1994 and dedicated in February 1995. Because I coincidentally won the Nobel Prize just two months before (more about this in Chapter 11), some believed that there was some relationship between the two events. This certainly was not the case. Katherine Loker and our other friends had made their wonderful gifts well before, and it was just a fortunate coincidence that we had such good timing to celebrate the opening of our enlarged institute. 

The most notable studies are those of Ingold, on the orienting and activating properties of substituents in the benzene nucleus, and of Dewar on the reactivities of an extensive series of polynuclear aromatic and related compounds ( 5.3.2). The former work was seminal in the foundation of the qualitative electronic theory of the relationship between structure and reactivity, and the latter is the most celebrated example of the more quantitative approaches to the same relationship ( 7.2.3). Both of the series of investigations employed the competitive method, and were not concerned with the kinetics of reaction. 

At ceremonies in Berlin in 1890 celebrating the twenty fifth anniversary of his proposed struc ture of benzene August Kekule recalled the origins of his view of the benzene structure... 

In addition to its ancient origins, part of the traditional mysticism about wine relates to its euphoric effect. Certainly this would have seemed magical in earhest times. It contributed to involvement of wine in religion, in rituals and in celebration. This fact today is still reflected in the special rituahstic place accorded wines. 

In October, 2005 the Ukrainian scientific community will celebrate the centenary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist, Anatoly K. Babko for his expertise in analytical chemistry and in the chemistry of complex compounds. 

In celebrating the centenary of the birth of Anatoly K. Babko we appreciatively recall his diligence, scientific, pedagogical and organizing talents. His active and purposeful character will always feature in our strikingly kind memory of Anatoly K. Babko - who through all his life maintained a love and loyalty to science. 

Solving now the Heisenberg equations of motion for the a operators perturbatively in the same way as in the weak-coupling case, one arrives (at = 0) at the celebrated non-interacting blip approximation [Dekker 1987b Aslangul et al. 1985]... 

From strength of materials one can move two ways. On the one hand, mechanical and civil engineers and applied mathematicians shift towards more elaborate situations, such as plastic shakedown in elaborate roof trusses here some transient plastic deformation is planned for. Other problems involve very complex elastic situations. This kind of continuum mechanics is a huge field with a large literature of its own (an example is the celebrated book by Timoshenko 1934), and it has essentially nothing to do with materials science or engineering because it is not specific to any material or even family of materials.

Pettifor, D.G. (2000) William Hume-Rothery his life and science, in The Science of Alloys for the list Century A Hume-Rothery Symposium Celebration, eds. Turchi, P. et a . (TMS, Warrendale). 

Next, the German Adolph Eick (1829-1901), stimulated by Graham s researches, sought to turn diffusion into a properly quantitative concept and formulated the law named after him, relating the rate of diflfusion to the steepness of the concentration gradient (Eick 1855), and confirmed his law by measurements of diflfusion in liquids. In a critical examination of the influence of this celebrated piece of theory, Tyrrell... 

Simple terms can be a trap and a delusion. In the study of materials, we must be prepared to face complexity and we must distrust elaborate theoretical systems advanced too early, as Bridgman did. As White (1970) remarked with regard to Descartes Regarding the celebrated vorticist physics which took the 1600s by storm... it had all the qualities of a perfect work of art. Everything was accounted for. It left no loose ends. It answered all the questions. Its only defect was that it was not true .

It took a long time before everyone accepted the reality of quasicrystallinity. No less a celebrity than Linus Pauling took a hard line, and published a paper in Nature (Pauling 1985) insisting, erroneously as was finally proved some time later, that the pattern was caused by an array of minute crystals in twinned arrangement. 

Smith himself stimulated many researchers but, though he wrote a celebrated paper on the evolution of microstructure, did not take any graduate students, and so he did not perhaps initially perceive the implications of the fact that large numbers of doctoral students came from the university s physics and chemistry departments to work with some of the permanent Institute staff... but there were no metallurgically trained students to draw on. Some of the Institute staff became closely involved with the physics or chemistry departments, and one even became chairman of the physics department. A consequence of this situation was that Smith could not attract further metallurgists to join the Institute, and junior metallurgists who came for short...
