The number of scientific articles published on meteorites has increased dramatically in the last few years few of these, however, concern themselves with small meteorites, the size of which lies between that of the normal meteorites (from centimetres to metres in size) and that of interplanetary dust particles. In the course of an Antarctic expedition, scientists (mainly from French institutions) collected micrometeorites from 100 tons of Antarctic blue ice (Maurette et al 1991). These micrometeorites were only 100 400 pm in size five samples, each consisting of 30-35 particles, were studied to determine the amount of the extraterrestrial amino acids a-aminoisobutyric acid (AIBS) and isovaline—both of which are extremely rare on Earth—which they contained. The analysis was carried out using a well-tested and extremely sensitive HPLC system at the Scripps Institute, La Jolla. Although the micrometeorites came from an extremely clean environment, the samples must have been contaminated, as they all showed traces of L-amino acids. Only one sample showed a significantly higher concentration of AIBS (about 280 ppm). The AIBS/isovaline ratio in the samples also lay considerably above that previously found in CM-chondrites. 

The 4A and 5A zeolite samples come from the French Institute of Petroleum (IFP). These samples named in the text 5A 67, 5A 73.5 and 5A 86 are exchanged at 67%, 73.5% and 86% by calcium ions, respectively. Prior each microgravimetric measurement, 20 mg of zeolite sample are outgassed at 350°C under primary vacuum... 

MOREHyS was developed by the German-French Institute for Environmental Research (DFIU/IFARE), in Karlsruhe (Germany), in co-operation with the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research (ISI) (Karlsruhe) (Ball, 2006 Ball el al., 2006 Kienzle, 2005). MOREHyS is based on the open-source BALMOREL model (Baltic model of regional energy market liberalisation), which was initially developed...

Pierre-Jules-Cesar Janssen,0 1824-1907. French astronomer who directed many astronomical expeditions. Member of the French Institute and of the Bureau of Longitude. In 1868 he observed in the sun s chromosphere a yellow line, Da, which is now known to belong to the element helium. He was the director of the astrophysical observatory at Meudon.

At the end of 2001, a project, coordinated by LNE (Laboratoire National d Essais), one of the four French Institutes of Metrology, was initiated to evaluate the possible benefits of the implementation of a metrological structure for environmental analyses. This project was granted by the French Ministry of Research (Direction of Technology), under the acronym of METREAU (for Metrology of Water). It was conducted in the framework of RITEAU, a network of innovative technological developments in the field of water. 

We thank the French Institut National de Recherche Agronomique and EEC grant (BI04-98-0420 OPTIM) for financial support and the group members for their contribution to our work presented in this chapter (Martine Mafbeche-Coisne, Jonathan Bohbot, Anne-Helene Cain, Marie-Christine Francois, Carole Deyts and Guilia Cristiani). 

Scientists from these French institutions have published many of their results in open literature. It would consume a great deal of space to review all of this literature. We shall mention only some of the published reports.

B2/IOO g dw, respectively (Kolb et ah, 2004). Lower levels of these vita-mirts are present in arame (0.06-0.12 and 0.65-0.92 mg/100 g dw, respectively), Caulerpa lenlillifem and Ulva reticulata (Hemandez-Carmona et al., 2009 Ratana-Arpom and Chirapart, 2006). French Institut de Phytonutrition (FIP) describes much higher content of these vitamins, for example, in wakame—5 mg Bi/lOO g dw or 11.7 mg B2/IOO g dw (MacArtain et al, 2007).

Laboratory Tests. Many different types of procedures and apparatus for testing dispersants are described in the literature. Fifty different tests or procedures are described in one paper [42]. Only a handful of these are in common use, however, including the Labohna or rotating flask test, the Mackay or MNS test, the swirling flask test, and the IFF (French Institute for Petroleum) test method.

I sent the account of the Phosphates and Arseniates to the Royal Society, for their insertion in the Transactions. They were rejected. Cavendish, Davy, Wollaston, and Gilbert are no more (p. 12).. .. In 1810 I was solicited by Davy to offer myself as a candidate to the Royal Society, but declined it. In i8i6, I was elected a Correspondinti Member of the Institute of France. . . upon the death of Davy, in 1830, I was introduced as an Associate Member of the French Institute. In 1822 some of my friends proposed me, without my knowledge, as a Candidate to the Royal Societ I do not know who they were. . . I was elected, and paid the usual fee (pp. 20—21).

Due to the ease of coupling a fiber probe to a remote location, it is not surprising that several authors have used Raman spectroscopy to monitor hydrocarbons streams [83-97], both as distillation products and finished gasoline products. Raman spectroscopy has also been applied to the measurement of Kersone [98], Cetane number in gas-oil samples [99], finished gasoline [89,90,92,95,100-102], and diesel fuel [100]. The industrial implications of this work are clear when a review is made of the companies supporting this type of work (e.g., BP [90], Ashland Oil [92], French Institute of Petroleum and Chevron [103]).

Another example of using methanol for extraction of acidic gases is the Ifpexol process, developed and patented by the French Institute of Petroleum (Institut fran ais du petrole — IFF). Cold methanol wash is well integrated in schemes with dehydration and cold extraction of hquefied gases [280]. 

For these reasons, an extensive research programme is being carried out in the French Institute for Protection and Nuclear Safety (IPSN) including two series of in-pile PHEBUS-SFD and FP tests and the development of codes to predict Severe Fuel Damage phenomena occurring in PWRs.
