Foundering

Frank Jahn has worked as a Petroleum Geologist mainly in Brunei, Thailand, the Netherlands and the UK. He has designed and taught multi-disciplinary training courses related to oil and gas field exploration and development worldwide. After 11 years with a multinational company he became co-founder of TRACS International in 1992 where he is a Director.

Defects in the LDL receptor have been particularly well explored as a basis of the disease familial hypercholesterolemia (93,111). A number of defects that collectively impair LDL receptor trafficking, binding, or deUvery underHe this disease where LDL and semm cholesterol rise to levels that mediate early cardiovascular mortaUty. Studies of the population distribution of this defect can determine the source of the original mutation. Thus, in Quebec, about 60% of the individuals suffering from familial hypercholesterolemia have a particular 10-kdobase deletion mutation in the LDL gene (112). This may have arisen from an original founder of the French Canadian settiement in the seventeenth century.

The largest storehouse of personal origin documents of outstanding scientists of Ukraine (about 350 funds, including more than 40 - scientists-chemists) is the Archivist Institute of National librar y of Ukraine. Among them the ar chival fund of academician of Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Anatoly Kirillovich Babko, the honored worker of a science, professor, founder of the Kyiv school of chemists-analysts. He is the author of 420 scientific works and several monographs and textbooks. 

Ronald E. Hester is Professor of Chemistry in the University of York. He was for short periods a research fellow in Cambridge and an assistant professor at Cornell before being appointed to a lectureship in chemistry in York in 1965. He has been a full professor in York since 1983. His more than 300 publications are mainly in the area of vibrational spectroscopy, latterly focusing on time-resolved studies of photoreaction intermediates and on biomolecular systems in solution. He is active in environmental chemistry and is a founder member and former chairman of the Environment Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry and editor of Industry and the Environment in Perspective (RSC, 1983) and Understanding Our Environment (RSC, 1986). As a member of the Council of the UK Science and Engineering Research Council and several of its sub-committees, panels and boards, he has been heavily involved in national science policy and administration. He was, from 1991-93, a member of the UK Department of the Environment Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances and is currently a member of the Publications and Information Board of the Royal Society of Chemistry. 

Arrhenius, insofar as his profession could be defined at all, began as a physicist. He worked with a physics professor in Stockholm and presented a thesis on the electrical conductivities of aqueous solutions of salts. A recent biography (Crawford 1996) presents in detail the humiliating treatment of Arrhenius by his sceptical examiners in 1884, which nearly put an end to his scientific career he was not adjudged fit for a university career. He was not the last innovator to have trouble with examiners. Yet, a bare 19 years later, in 1903, he received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. It shows the unusual attitude of this founder of physical chemistry that he was distinctly surprised not to receive the Physics Prize, because he thought of himself as a physicist.

So, physical chemistry has developed far beyond the vision of its three famous founders. But then, the great mathematician A.N. Whitehead once remarked that a science which hesitates to forget its founders is lost he meant that it is dangerous to refuse to venture in new directions. Neither physical chemistry nor materials science has ever been guilty of such a refusal. 

Today, there are many eminent researchers on materials in Japan, alike in universities and in various national research institutes, and latterly in Tsukuba Science City - but the Tohoku Institute has always held a special place, owing to the energy, determination and organising ability of its founder and the habits of work which he instilled in his staff.

An important question for chemists, and particularly for biochemists, is, Will the reaction proceed in the direction written J. Willard Gibbs, one of the founders of thermodynamics, realized that the answer to this question lay in a comparison of the enthalpy change and the entropy change for a reaction at a given temperature. The Gibbs free energy, G, is defined as...

Sadi Carnot has been called the founder of the science of thermodynamics, In 1824, when he was twenty-eight, he first became interested in steam engines. All that time. Great Britain led the world m the design and improvement of such engines for industrial purposes. Always the French patriot, Carnot wanted his counti y to surpass the British, who had spawned the Industrial Revolution. He thought...
