Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) [329-98-6] M 174.2, m 90-91 , 92-93 . Purified by recrystn from ""CgHe, pet ether or CHCl3-pet ether. [Davies and Dick J Chem Soc 483 1932 cf Tullock and Coffman J Org Chem 23 2016 I 960.] It is a general protease inhibitor (specific for trypsin and chymotrypsin) and is a good substitute for diisopropylphosphoro floridate [Fahrney and Gould 7 Am Chem Soc 85 997 1963]. 

According to O Brien, the Mellon banking family, which was Senator Byrd s endowment of the arts largest contributor. This member would be referred to as the "Governor." He would later become Governor of Pennsylvania and U.S. Attorney General, Dick Thornburgh. 

It would be an understatement to call General Dick s notion rather strange. On the other hand, what did I know I thought of Tennyson s description of the brave troops in The Charge of the Light Brigade, riding fearlessly into the Valley of Death Theirs not to question why Theirs but to do and die ... 

The following morning, uniforms acceptably clean we met with the Post Commander, the Chief Scientist, and half a dozen staff officers. There was some sotto voce jesting about the operation s name - Project Dork - no doubt mischievously chosen by some wag. The implication of this not-so-subtle reference to General Dick, originator of the brainstorm we were about to implement, was clear. 

We reviewed the specifications. General Dick wanted an experiment that would indicate whether sufficient BZ could float downwind to incapacitate volunteers 500 yards away. If that worked, he wanted a similar trial to take place at 1000 yards - a distance of over half a mile. I thought it difficult, but possible, and outlined a plan to make it work. 

Complying with the wishes of a four-star general without support from one s immediate superiors does IMe to increase one s popularity. General Dick allegedly wrote a letter of commendation for me perscmally, but somehow I never received it. My new boss, COL Nick Bottiglieri, however, wrote me a nice letter of appreciation. 

In general, these occupational exposure studies poorly characterize aluminum exposure. Some of the studies reported aluminum air concentrations for a single time period (Dick et al. 1997 Sim et al. 1997 Sjogren et al. 1996 White et al. 1992), but did not have earlier monitoring data when aluminum exposures were higher. The lack of adequate exposure monitoring data and the different types of aluminum exposure makes it difficult to compare these studies and draw conclusions regarding the neurotoxic potential of inhaled aluminum in workers.

Kordesch and G. Simander [5] and J. Larminie and A. Dicks [6] deal more generally with fuel cell technologies and applications and that by D.A.J. Rand et al. [7] with batteries for electric vehicles. The web offers much information other recommended publications are identified during the course of the discussion.

As noted above, isotope decouphng between oceanic mantle and crust was observed both in ophiolites (Claesson et al., 1984 Gopel et al., 1984 Jacobsen et al., 1984 Brouxel and Lapierre, 1988 Rampone et al., 1996, 1998) and in abyssal rocks (Snow et al., 1994 Kempton and Stephens, 1997 Salters and Dick, 2002). In most examples, the mantle rocks are distinguished from the oceanic crust by more depleted isotopic compositions, generally reflected by higher Nd/ Nd values. However, the interpretations proposed for the ophiolites and for the abyssal peridotites are markedly different.
