Dr Who

Inner-plane temples within the Upper Worlds, since they are not confined by the laws which govern matter in the three-dimensional world, are capable of being much larger on the inside than on the outside (like the tardis in the BBC television series, Dr. Who). They can also contain more chambers than any edifice built in physical matter. The only restrictions they appear to have are those limitations imposed by the mind of the human visitor. The same may be true—if we will it to be so—of thought-built edifices constructed by practitioners of the Art. And since the castle golem is to become a true reflection of the macrocosm—so that the individualized microcosm may be refashioned in its likeness—our eidolon, or thought-form, will contain additional chambers we have not yet entered. 

For those of you interested in vintage TV, the first episode of a British series called Doomwatch featured just such an eventuality. This was novelized 2l Mutant 59 The Plastic Eater, by Kit Pedler (inventor of the Cybermen, in Dr Who) and Gerry Davis.

This method was designed to produce an acetyl intermediate just like that in the failed recipe a few paragraphs above using only sulfuric acid and acetonitrile [93]. This reaction works, in theory, in a so-so manner on allylbenzene but not on safrole. This method will not make X for many reasons. So why does underground literature and DEA forensic scientists keep claiming that it does Strike doesn t know either. Let s see what the man who invented this. Dr. Ritter, had to say back in 1952 "several attempts to obtain amides from...safrol (sic) were fruitless. [94]. What makes all these people think that this will work unless no one did their homework. This is another sore spot of Strike s and...

The authors would like to thank Dr Mark Taylor, Dr Raquel Duarte-Davidson and the other participants who contributed to our understanding during a workshop on the ecological effects of sex hormone disrupters held at the Institute in January 1998. We also acknowledge the financial support provided by the UK Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions for the work at lEH on endocrine disruption. However, the opinions expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of any government department or agency. 

This work has been carried out in association with Professor Elias J. Corey, who suggested the study of protective groups for use in computer-assisted synthetic analysis. 1 appreciate his continued help and encouragement. I am grateful to Dr.

We extend our gratitude to the readers whose suggestions have helped to improve the monograph, and to those who have told us of their experiences with some of the purifications stated in the previous editions, and in particular with the hazards that they have encountered. We are deeply indebted to Dr M.D. Fenn for the several hours that he has spent on the terminal to provide us with a large number of CAS registry numbers. 

The publishers wish to acknowledge the contribution of Dr. Robert W. Waterhouse, who provided the initial draft of the translation from the German. The publishers are grateful to the authors for their diligent help with subsequent drafts of the translation. 

Dr. A comes back the next day, and Mr. Smith tells A that C is not getting tenure. A then figures that her chances of tenure have now risen to 50%. Mr. Smith believes he has not in fact changed A s knowledge concerning her tenure prospects. Who is correct ...

Finally, I would like to add that the loss of my friend and mentor Dr. C.M. Simmang who has written the foreword to the first edition of this book is a deep loss not only to me but also to the engineering edueational eom-munity and to many of his students from Texas A M University. 

I would wish to aeknowledge the many eolleagues, undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Plymouth (UoP), University College London (UCL) and the Open University (OU) who have eontributed to the development of this book. I am espeeially indebted to the late Professor Tom Lambert (UCL), the late Professor David Broome (UCL), ex-researeh students Dr Martyn Polkinghorne,... 

Some 20 years after the pressure for the creation of the new interdisciplinary laboratories was first felt, one of the academics who became involved very early on. Prof. Rustum Roy of Pennsylvania State University, wrote eloquently about the underlying ideal of interdisciplinarity (Roy 1977). He also emphasised the supportive role played by some influential industrial scientists in that creation, notably Dr. Guy Suits of GE, whom we have already encountered, and Dr. William Baker of Bell Laboratories who was a major force in pushing for interdisciplinary materials research in industry and academe alike. A magisterial survey by Baker (1967), under the title Solid State Science and Materials Development, indicates the breadth and scope of his scientific interests. 

The editors thank all authors who contributed so many excellent papers covering all aspects of carbon nanotubes and the related fields. We are indebted to the Editor-in-Chief of Carbon, Professor Peter A. Thrower, for his suggestion and kind efforts, and also to Dr V. Kiruvanayagam for her kind cooperation related to this book.
