Collaborative Science

All of these discoveries of chemistry, chemical engineering, and other collaborative sciences would not have been possible without new synthetic methods and improved theory and modeling capabilities.

The organizing committee extends a cordial invitation to participate in International conference on Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Analysis (AC CA-05) which is hold in scenic city of Kyiv, Ukraine, from. Septemher 12 to 18,2005. Tills conference belongs to die series of Ukrainian conferences in analytical chemistry established in 1970 by Ukrainian chemical society and chemical division of Ukrainian Academy of. Sciences. AC CA-05 is a 7 conference in analytical chemistry in Ukraine and it is dedicated to 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. Tlie current conference is organised by Analytical Scientific Council at Academy of Sciences of Ukraine under collaboration with European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuClicMS) and sponsored by Intemational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) and by the Intemational Association for the Promotion of Co-operation with Scientists from the New Independent States of the Eormer Soviet Union (INTAS). 

Main goals of the conference are to survey a status of modern analytical science in Ukraine against the global one, to renew intemational collaboration of Ukrainian analytical chemists and educators, and to approach positions of scientists and analytical engineers. 

EA.E.T thanks the financial support by the University of Valencia for the V Segles" grant provided and W.C.S. the industrial case award by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council in collaboration with LGC limited. 

I am pleased to acknowledge that the simulation results presented in this chapter were obtained from calculations carried out in collaboration with Kechuan Tu, Mike Klein, and Kent Blasie. The calculations and fitting of the neutron scattering spectra benefited from discussions with Mounir Tarek. Financial support was provided by the School of Physical Sciences at the University of California at Irvine and a grant from the donors of The Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society (ACS-PRF 33247-G7). 

This work has been supported in part by the National Science Foundation (Grants CHE-9601971 and CHE-9813729), the donors of the Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society (Grant No. ACS-PRF 31573-AC9), and a NATO Collaborative Research Grant (Grant HTECH.CRG972915). 

Over the last thirty years, international collaboration and cooperation on a scale rarely witnessed in science has led to the development of several very sophisticated software packages for ab initio molecular electronic structure calculations. In the early days, such packages were freely distributed amongst workers in the field. Today, you buy executable code, a licence and professional documentation just as with any software package. 

Professor of Physics Applied to Natural History was created for his father at the Museum d Histoire Naturelle, Edmund had the dilemma of choosing to attend TEcole Normale, I Ecole Polytechnique, or become an assistant to his father for the course that went with the professorship. He chose to assist his fatlier, and their collaboration continued for decades. Thus, his title on the title page of the hook published in 1855-1856 with his father is given as Professeur all Cousei vatoire imperial des Ai ts et Metiers, Aide-naturaliste au Museum d Histoire Naturelle, etc. After a short period as assistant at la. Sorhonne, and then as Professor at the Institut Agronomique de Versailles, he became Professor at the Cousei vatoire des Ai ts et Metiers in 1852, where he worked for almost forty years. When his father died in 1878, Edmond succeeded him as director of the Museum in addition to his professorship. He received a degree as Doctor of Science from the University of Paris in 1840, and was elected a member of I Academie des Sciences in 1863. 

The authors thanks Dr. T. Eiki, Mrs. T. Minami, K. Machiya, I. Tomita, and O. Tanaka for their collaboration in carrying out this research. This research was supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Eduction, Science and Culture, Japan. 

The disclosure, in 1982, that cationic, enantiopure BINAP-Rh(i) complexes can induce highly enantioselective isomerizations of allylic amines in THF or acetone, at or below room temperature, to afford optically active enamines in >95 % yield and >95 % ee, thus constituted a major breakthrough.67-68 This important discovery emerged from an impressive collaborative effort between chemists representing Osaka University, the Takasago Corporation, the Institute for Molecular Science at Okazaki, Japan, and Nagoya University. BINAP, 2,2 -bis(diphenylphosphino)-l,l -binaphthyl (Scheme 7), is a fully arylated, chiral diphosphine which was introduced in... 

With the publication of Vol. 51, the editors and the publisher would like to take this opportunity to thank authors and readers for their collaboration and their efforts to meet the scientific requirements of this series. We appreciate our authors concern for the progress of Polymer Science and we also welcome the advice and critical comments of our readers.
