Contracts investigation assistance

This research was supported by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission (Contract AT-(ll-l) — 958). The authors would like to thank Messrs. Seer and Eklund of the Michigan State University Glass Shop for their cooperation. We also acknowledge the assistance of Messrs. Hansen and Wreede during the course of this investigation. 

The air-stable enantiomers of the As2S2 macrocycle XIX have been obtained stereoselectively via a Pdn-assisted cyclization reaction as illustrated in Scheme 12. Demetallation is via treatment with CN-. The use of racemic precursors has been investigated and quantitative interconversion of stereoisomers is detailed in this work, together with ring contraction to give the 7-membered ring As/S ring compound XX.44... 

Where there has been a reportabie injury, dangerous occurrence or a case of disease has been contracted in the workpiace, the safety representative may inspect the workpiace, if it is safe to do so, and the empioyer must provide faciiities and assistance to enabie this inciud-ing faciiities for independent investigation and private discussion with the empioyees. 

We thank our colleagues, Drs. R. H. Heflich, B. Konze-Thomas, and J. W. Levinson, who carried out many of the experiments described in this review, as well as D. J. Dorney, R. M. Hazard, A. L. Mendrala, and M. Rials, without whose excellent technical assistance this research would not have been possible. These investigations were supported by Grant Numbers CA-21247 and CA-21253, awarded by the National Cancer Institute, DHEW, and Contract Number ER-78-S-02-4659 from the Department of Energy. 

Finally, trilayer PPy actuator strips PPy (3 x 20 mm ) have been implanted and wrapped around the right ventricle of a rat model to investigate whether the contraction of the PPy actuators could assist the contraction of the heart as an alternative to cardiac tissue engineering using stem cells. The authors claim that the trilayer PPy actuator strips were able to significantly augment right ventricular contraction (Ruhparwar et al. 2014). 

While the settlement of CWS contracts in the postwar period was carried out with speed, there is, unfortunately, good reason to suspect that administration of various aspects of the settlements left something to be desired. In November 1946 the Chief, Chemical Corps, appointed a Contract Settlement Review Team to assist all contracting officers to properly document all termination actions. The basic purpose behind the appointment of the team was protection of the contracting officers and the corps as a whole. Some of the disclosures brought about by the Senate committee investigating the Erie Basin and Batavia contracts had convinced the Chief, Chemical Corps, as well as his superiors in the War Department of the need for such a team. A civilian with considerable experience in Ordnance Department termination, Christian Van Heest, was selected to head the team. Van Heest was assisted by a group which varied in number from six to ten, several of whom had had previous termination experience in the Ordnance Department. ...
