Field, Richard

Amy Berger helped me write Chapter 10 (Surface Complexation), and Chapter 31 (Acid Drainage) is derived in part from her work. Edward Warren and Richard Worden of British Petroleum s Sunbury lab contributed data for calculating scaling in North Sea oil fields, Richard Wendlandt first modeled the effects of alkali floods on clastic reservoirs, and Kenneth Sorbie helped write Chapter 30 (Petroleum Reservoirs). I borrowed from Elisabeth Rowan s study of the genesis of fluorite ores at the Albigeois district, Wendy Harrison s study of the Gippsland basin, and a number of other published studies, as referenced in the text.

The various writing styles evident in Shakespeare suggest the nom de plume was for a team. Probable members include Richard Field, Richard de Vere 17 Earl of Oxford, Gabriel Harvey, Edmund Spenser, Sir Edward Dyer, Sir Philip Sidney and Sir Francis Bacon. Their interest seems focused around the players companies that performed each year on St John the Evangelist s Day, December twenty-seventh, a traditional assembly day of Freemasons. 

At around the same time, a small circle of Nazi officials learned about the discovery of Soman, one of the most deadly nerve agents known to man, which stiU required further development. Unbeknown to Schrader and many others working in the chemical warfare field, Richard Kuhn, director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, and his team of scientists had been commissioned by the military to screen various organophosphorus compounds for their level of cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition, and had discovered Soman in the process. When inhaled. Soman turned out to be twice as toxic as Sarin, was able to penetrate through the skin, and quickly affected the central nervous system. Because it inhibited cholinesterase very rapidly, the effective use of antidotes such as atropine was considerably reduced. Experiments on dogs and apes at Gross laboratory in Elberfeld quickly established the enormous toxicity of the new substance. 

The world of the nuclear spins is a true paradise for theoretical and experimental physicists. It supplies, for example, most simple test systems for demonstrating the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum statistics, and numerous textbook-like examples have emerged. On the other hand, the ease of hattdling nuclear spin systems predestinates them for testing novel experimental concepts. Indeed the universal procedures of coherent spectroscopy have been developed predominantly within nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR and have found widespread application in a variety of other fields. - Richard R. Ernst (Nobel Prize Lecture, 1992)...

Nobel-laureate Richard Feynman once said that the principles of physics do not preclude the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom (260). Recent developments in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology (briefly described in the previous sections) bear those words out. The invention and development of scanning probe microscopy has enabled the isolation and manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. Research in protein and nucleic acid stmcture have given rise to powerful tools in the estabUshment of rational synthetic protocols for the production of new medicinal dmgs, sensing elements, catalysts, and electronic materials.

It is a pleasure to acknowledge stimulating discussions with Richard Cushman and Boris Zhilinskii, who introduced the author to this interesting field. He is particularly grateful to ZhiUnskii for constructive comments on an initial draft, which led to substantial improvements to the chapter. 

We make a particular acknowledgement to the late Dr John Longwell CBE, Deputy Government Chemist in 1964, who encouraged the Laboratory to enter the field, and to the line of Government Chemists who supported the work over the long years the late Dr David Lewis CB, the late Dr Harold Egan, Dr Ron Coleman CB (who became Chief Scientist of the Department of Trade and Industry), Mr Alex Williams CB and Dr Richard Worswick. 

Theoretical estimation of water flow in unsaturated soils is difficult and complex. The derivation of the versions of the Richards equation commonly solved in modern models required several assumptions. In addition, it is difficult to accurately estimate likely field values for unsaturated soil hydraulic conductivity on the scale of a complete ET cover. Nevertheless, the Richards equation provides useful estimates of flow of water within the soil where adequate estimates of soil hydraulic conductivity are available.

Richard C. Honeycutt, Ph.D., was born in Newport News, VA, in 1945. He attended Anderson University in Anderson, IN, from 1963 to 1967 and earned an A.B. in Chemistry. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Purdue University in 1971 and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow from 1971 to 1973 at the Smithsonian Institution s Radiation Biology Laboratory. Dr. Honeycutt worked as a Senior Chemist at Rohm and Haas Company from 1973 to 1976 and as a Senior Metabolism Chemist at Ciba Geigy from 1976 to 1989. Currently, he is President of the Hazard Evaluation and Regulatory Affairs Company, Inc., which he founded in 1990, and is an analytical biochemist and field research specialist/consultant engaged in exposure assessment of pesticides to humans and the environment. 

Gas-phase ion chemistry is a broad field which has many applications and which encompasses various branches of chemistry and physics. An application that draws together many of these branches is the synthesis of molecules in interstellar clouds (Herbst). This was part of the motivation for studies on the neutralization of ions by electrons (Johnsen and Mitchell) and on isomerization in ion-neutral associations (Adams and Fisher). The results of investigations of particular aspects of ion dynamics are presented in these association studies, in studies of the intermediates of binary ion-molecule Sn2 reactions (Hase, Wang, and Peslherbe), and in those of excited states of ions and their associated neutrals (Richard, Lu, Walker, and Weisshaar). Solvation in ion-molecule reactions is discussed (Castleman) and extended to include multiply charged ions by the application of electrospray techniques (Klassen, Ho, Blades, and Kebarle). These studies also provide a wealth of information on reaction thermodynamics which is critical in determining reaction spontaneity and availability of reaction channels. More focused studies relating to the ionization process and its nature are presented in the final chapter (Harland and Vallance).

The Nobel laureate Richard P. Feynman described, in a lecture delivered in 1959, the future of miniaturization. The published version of his lecture is called There s Plenty of Room at the Bottom and in it can be found a recipe for putting the entire Encyclopedia Britan-nica on the very small head of a very small pin. Feynman s comments set into motion an entirely new area of study and have lead to what have become known as the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and engineers have come together over the past several decades to produce with high accuracy and precision materials that have dimensions measured in nanometers (nm, 10 meters, about 1/100 000 the width of a human hair). Specifically, materials with one, two, or three dimensions of 100 nm or less (called, respectively, nanofilms, nanotubes, and nanoparticles) qualify as products of nanotechnology. It appears that almost any chemical substance that is a solid under ordinary conditions of temperature...
