There have been, however, concerted efforts in breaching the barriers between disciplines, a noteworthy example of which is the US Department of Defense Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative that funds cross-departmental efforts to address specific technological objectives, many of which involve exploiting or mitigating the forces...

At one point in the history of structural chemistry molecular mechanics calculations dominated the computational work for relatively large molecules. The origins of these calculations were intimately connected to another modeling approach that one of its initiators vividly described. Frank Westheimer (Fig. 1.2a) had participated in the American defense efforts during WWII and when the war had ended, he returned to the University of Chicago to resume his teaching and research. He had to start anew and had time to think about basic problems. This is how half a century later he remembered the birth of molecular mechanics [5] ... 

A year after the initial operations in the Pacific the CWS began studies to discover the predominating characteristics and cause of death by flame and to learn what defensive measures might be devised against the use of flame by the enemy. The agencies engaged in various aspects of flame attack research with the CWS included NDRC units at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Standard Oil Development Co., New York University, Harvard and Johns Hopkins Medical Schools units of the Bureaus of Ordnance and Medicine of the Navy Department, the Armored Medical Research Laboratory and the Experiment Station at Suffield, Canada. ... 

Beginning in 2005, a research team at Michigan State University embarked on an initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the National Center for Food Protection and Defense (http //www.ncfipd. utnn.edu/), to examine best practices in security management within the food industry. Given the emerging nature of supply chain security and the lack of existing security frameworks, exploratory interviews were conducted in order to better understand the characteristics and current status of supply chain security in the food industry.
