In 1927, Heitler and London used valence bond theory to treat the H2 molecule but to treat larger molecules, further simplifications were needed. In 1931, Erich Hiickel introduced an extremely simple approximation which could be used to treat the 7i-electrons in flat organic molecules such as benzene, napthaline, and so on. This approximation yielded matrices to be diagonalized, and it is a measure of the state of computers at that time to remember that during World War II, Alberte Pullman sat in a basement room in Paris diagonalizing Hiickel matrices with a mechanical desk calculator, while her husband-to-be Bernard drove a tank with the Free French Forces in North Africa. Alberte s hand-work led to the publication of the Pullmans early book Quantum Biochemistry. ... 

The museum trustees received requests for the safe-keeping of items of outstanding importance from numerous institutions and private individuals, and the quarry soon became a fabulous national treasure-house. Apan from artefacts from Bloomsbury and Kensington, Westwood also held collections from the Bodleian Library, the Imperial War Museum, and the Free French Museum of National Antiquities. Among the individual items to spend the war years in Wiltshire were the Rubens Ceiling from the Whitehall banqueting hall, the Crown Jewels, the Charles I statue from Whitehall and the bronze screen from the Henry VII Chapel in Westminster Abbey. 

He met a French scientist at Oxford, probably Hans von Halban, who complained of inaction on uranium-heavy water research. Since his complaints were clearly out of channels, I quickly terminated the conversation and forgot the incident. That reaction was understandable Conant could hardly know what security arrangements the British might have made with the Free French. But he also shied from Lindemann. They were lunching alone at a London club. He introduced the subject of the study of the fission of uranium atoms. I reacted by repeating the doubts I had expressed and heard expressed at NDRC meetings. Lindemann brushed them aside and pounced ... 

Several instniments have been developed for measuring kinetics at temperatures below that of liquid nitrogen [81]. Liquid helium cooled drift tubes and ion traps have been employed, but this apparatus is of limited use since most gases freeze at temperatures below about 80 K. Molecules can be maintained in the gas phase at low temperatures in a free jet expansion. The CRESU apparatus (acronym for the French translation of reaction kinetics at supersonic conditions) uses a Laval nozzle expansion to obtain temperatures of 8-160 K. The merged ion beam and molecular beam apparatus are described above. These teclmiques have provided important infonnation on reactions pertinent to interstellar-cloud chemistry as well as the temperature dependence of reactions in a regime not otherwise accessible. In particular, infonnation on ion-molecule collision rates as a ftmction of temperature has proven valuable m refining theoretical calculations. 

By the beginning of the nineteenth centui"y, Fulton turned his attention to his obsession with submarines and steamships. He made uo secret of his goal for submarines—he intended to build them in order to destroy all ships of war so that appropriate attention could be devoted by society to the fields of education, industry and free speech. In 1801, he managed to stay under water for four hours and twenty minutes in one of his devices, and in 1805 he demonstrated the ability to utilize a torpedo to blow up a well built ship of two hundred tons. Unfortunately for Robert, neither the French nor British government was particularly impressed with the unpredictable success, nor the importance of his innovations so he packed his bags and returned to America in December of 1806. 

When Europe exploded into war in 1914, scientists largely abandoned their studies to go to the front. Marie Curie, with her daughter Irene, then 17 years old. organized medical units equipped with X-ray machinery. These were used to locate foreign metallic objects in wounded soldiers. Many of the wounds were to the head French soldiers came out of the trenches without head protection because their government had decided that helmets looked too German. In November of 1918, the Curies celebrated the end of World War I France was victorious, and Marie s beloved Poland was free again. 

Redox reactions that have a positive Gibbs free energy of reaction are not spontaneous, but an electric current can be used to make them take place. For example, there is no common spontaneous chemical reaction in which fluorine is a product, and so the element cannot be isolated by any common chemical reaction. It was not until 1886 that the French chemist Henri Moissan found a way to force the...

Vincent Rillieux freely acknowledged his family. Norbert was baptized by a Roman Catholic priest in St. Louis Cathedral, where blacks and whites knelt side by side to pray. The child s birth was registered in City Hall in a mixture of French and English as Norbert Rillieux, quadroon libre, natural son of Vincent Rillieux and Constance Vivant. The words, quadroon libre, stipulated that Norbert was a free African American with more white ancestry than black. 

When Norbert was born, New Orleans was still a small town by modern standards. Its 8000 inhabitants included 4000 whites, 2700 slaves, and 1300 free African Americans, most of them of mixed racial heritage, like Norbert and his mother. Founded by the French 100 years earlier, the region had been under Spanish rule for 35 years before it was returned to France for sale to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. New Orleans French past graced the town with an opera house, cafes, cabarets, Parisian fashions, French-language signs, and gardens with orange and lemon trees, roses, myrtle, and jasmine. 

A description is given of the initiatives carried out within the European Community for the harmonization of fire testing. The technical and economic reasons are explained for such initiatives, which are taken in order to remove barriers to trade from the European internal market. Of the various fire aspects, only fire reaction testing is taken into consideration here, because it appears as a major technical obstacle to the free circulation of construction materials. All possible approaches are considered for the attainment of such a harmonization and one, the so called interim solution, is fully described. The proposed interim solution, is based on the adoption of three fundamental test methods, i.e. the British "Surface Spread of Flame", the French "Epiradiateur" and the German "Brandschacht", and on the use of a rather complicated "transposition document", which should allow to derive most of the national classifications from the three test package. 

The first published examples of hydrosilation, which appeared about 30 years ago, noted that they were observed to proceed by free-radical mechanisms initiated thermally (about 300°C) (J), by acyl peroxides (4), by azonitriles (5), by ultraviolet light (6), or by y radiation (7). The first hint that catalysts known to be effective for hydrogenation might also be effective for hydrosilation was found in a French patent (8) (1949) which stated that catalysts may be chosen from compounds and salts of the elements of Groups IIA, IVA, IB, and IIB of the periodic table and metals of Group VIII and certain of their salts. No example to demonstrate this was included in the patent. 

A free radical is best defined as an atom or molecule containing one or more unpaired electrons, or in the illuminating expression of our French colleagues, Electrons cdlibataires.1 The unpaired electron exists alone in an orbital and therefore has a spin and, resulting magnetic moment uncompensated by the oppositely directed spin and magnetic moment of another electron. This has certain physical and chemical consequences which serve to show the presence of a free radical. But it must be emphasized that unusual reactivity alone (the chemical consequences) is never conclusive proof that a substance is a free radical. 

The term passive interception is used to describe recovery systems that rely upon natural groundwater flow to deliver free-phase NAPLs to the collection facility without the addition of external energy (such as pumping). These systems often include linear interception-type systems such as trenches (or French drains), subsurface dams ( funnel-and-gate structures), combined hydraulic underflow with skimming, and density skimming units.
