Europe legacy

It was only four years later that Lord Kelvin (nee William Thomson) came across the Essay. He kindly arranged for it to be reprinted in Crelle s Journal, and enthusiastically promoted Green s work in Britain and Europe. The enormous impact of Green s legacy on today s world of science has been clearly assessed by Freeman Dyson (1993). [Pg.2]

Race is a palimpsest, a tablet whose most recent inscriptions only imperfectly cover those that had come before, and whose inscriptions can never be regarded as final. Contradictory racial identities come to coexist at the same moment in the same body in unstable combinations, as the specific histories that generated them linger in various cultural forms or in the social and political relationships that are their legacies. Thus it was, for instance, that Henry James drew his fateful racial line of exclusion both within and around Europe in his quest for a proper bride for the American No Irish need apply, We had better confine ourselves to Europe. ... [Pg.151]

Furthermore, chemical companies should go on reducing their large number of distribution centers and warehouses, the legacy of an historically grown network based on M A history or reflecting old national boundaries, like country-specific warehouses in Europe. [Pg.289]

At the moment of this memorial service, a seemingly innocuous piece of Haber s legacy could be found in cities of Europe as far east as Sofia, Bulgaria, in warehouses of the German Society for Insect Control. It was the insecticide called Zyklon B, a cyanide-based crystal that turned into vapor when exposed to air. Haber had intended this poison to protect human life, not de-... [Pg.245]

Here is a typical example of a relevant problem an ancient Sardinian hillside mine. The island of Sardinia has been mined for silver, zinc, copper, and lead since Phoenician and Roman times and, until the 1970s, was the largest source of heavy metals in Europe. It has left a legacy of pollution problems associated with mine drainage, carrying pollutants from hillside mines down to valleys below. This is a situation that could well be applicable to treatment by an electrokinetic barrier. The application is as shown in Figure 16.1. [Pg.335]

Political changes resulted in changes in national borders with educational implications. The transformation of the University and Technical University (two distinct institutions) in Lvov is a good example. Today it is an important research institution in Ukraine. But there was an important Lvov/Polish Mathematical School (Stefan Banach, Stan Ulam, Hugo Steinhaus) that operated in those institutions between 1918 and 1939, when Lvov was part of Poland. Another example is the Technical University in Gdansk, which shares German-Polish ancestry. Such shared legacies are easily found in Eastern and Central Europe. [Pg.127]

Analysis of the data indicates the maturity of the gas supply markets in North and West Europe. Here there is a steady market for PE to be used in the replacement and refurbishment of the still large iron pipe legacy. In Southern Europe and the Mediterranean countries, natural gas supply was slower to develop and so their rapid growth as PE pipe markets is still taking place. [Pg.44]
