Thank you for inviting me to join you here at the third international congress on catalysis and automotive pollution control. 

passions have cooled and catalytic converters are no longer a controversial issue. So it is time to take a calm and collected look at environmental problems. 

Since World War II, the usage of motor car has grown tremendously in democratic countries. However, that development raises concerns for the environment because of the nuisance caused by cars. Today, most of those nuisances fi om cars are on the decrease and this improvement should become more widespread in coming years.

Synthesis" (Manuscript of General Lecture at Chemical Engineering Department—MIT), October 3, 1978. 

In the area of oil refining, a general lecture sets the scene for present and future challenges. It is followed by in-depth case studies involving FCC, hydrocracking and light naphtha isomerization. Also, an entire chapter is devoted to the often-overlooked subject of base oils. 

We also are grateful to K. Taylor for her outstanding general introductory lecture on the problem of exhaust catalysts. Special thanks to W.D.J. Evans for his active part in the paper selection committee and the scientific advisory board and who gave a remarkable general lecture on the exhaust catalyst. 

From 1973 to 1994, the Colloid Chemistry Division was chaired by Rehbinder s closest collaborator and successor, Eugene D. Shchukin, Academician of the Russian, the US and the Swedish Academies of Engineering. Professor Shchukin designed a general lecture course in colloid chemistry, which he taught for many years at the Chemistry Department of...

The scientific program, divided Into 14 sessions, Included 11 general lectures of 30 minutes, 76 oral lectures of 16 minutes and 70 posters. Due to the large number of papers the Symposium was held In two parallel sections. Poster discussions at the site of the poster exhibition were a good solution giving a chance for free discussion and evaluation of scientific progress. 

The 18th ILCC was held in Sendai in 2000, the second time the conference was convened in Japan. There were 813 participants (354 from overseas and 459 from Japan). The number of presentations was 886 (4 keynote lectures, 3 memorial lectures, 26 invited lectures, 86 general lectures, and 767 posters). Because the structure for cooperation by the taxation system of the JSPS differed then from that in 1980, preparations for the conference advanced comparatively smoothly. Surplus funds were contributed to both the International Liquid Crystal Society and the Japanese Liquid Crystal Society (JLCS), established in 1997. The money contributed to the JLCS was effectively utilized as International Arts and Sciences Activity Assets based on the initial fund. 

The Prandtl mixing length concept is useful for shear flows parallel to walls, but is inadequate for more general three-dimensional flows. A more complicated semiempirical model commonly used in numerical computations, and found in most commercial software for computational fluid dynamics (CFD see the following subsection), is the A — model described by Launder and Spaulding (Lectures in Mathematical Models of Turbulence, Academic, London, 1972). In this model the eddy viscosity is assumed proportional to the ratio /cVe. 

All main aspects of analytical and bioanalytical sciences is covered by the conference program. AC CA-05 consists of 12 invited lectures and seven symposia General Aspects of Analytical Chemistry, Analytical Methods, Objects of the Analysis,. Sensors and Tests, Separation and Pre-concentration, Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, History and Methodology of Analytical Chemistry. Conference program includes two special symposia Memorial one, dedicated to Anatoly Babko and Analytical Russian-Germany-Ukrainian symposium (ARGUS-9). 

A talented teacher, tutor and lecturer he delivered lectures on general and special courses for university students, and trained his students to expertise of high rank. He supervised 50 PhD and 9 D.Sc theses, and founded the Kyiv. School of Analytical Chemists. 

Anatoly K. Babko was bom on October 15, 1905 in the province of Tomsk (Russia) to a railwayman s family. In 1908 the family moved to the Ukraine, where he graduated from secondary school in 1921. In 1922 he was admitted to the Chemistry Department of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and in 1928 he was accepted there for PhD study under the supervision of Professor N.A. Tananaev. In 1930 he became a lecturer at the Kyiv Institute of Food-processing Industry, and in 1934 he was appointed senior lecturer in the Department of Analytical Chemistry at Kyiv. State University where he worked for the rest of his life, working also from 1937 in the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. 

The Snoek pendulum, which in the most general sense is a device to measure relaxations, has also been used to measure relaxation caused by tangential displacements at grain boundaries. This application has been the central concern of a distinguished Chinese physicist, Tingsui Ke, for all of the past 55 years. He was stimulated to this study by Clarence Zener, in 1945, and pursued the approach, first in Chicago and then in China. This exceptional fidelity to a powerful quantitative technique was recognised by a medal and an invitation to deliver an overview lecture in America, recently published shortly before his death (Ke 1999). 

Video. Very useful for enlivening lecture material, demonstrating specific tasks, or creating general interest. Costly to produce difficult to update does not allow for interaction. 

Golburn, A. P, Problems in Design and Research on Gon-densers of Vapours and Vapour Mixtures, James Glayton lecture, delivered Sept. 12, (1951), pub. General Discussions of Heat Transfer, The Institution of Mechanical Engineers and ASME, p. 448. 

These new mini video lectures, playable on video iPods, iPhones, and MP3 players as well as on iTunes, include animations and problems for a quick summary of key general chemistry concepts, e-Flashcards in selected modules briefly introduce a key concept and then test student understanding of the basics with a series of questions. Modules are also available separately. Go Chemistry is included in CengageNOW. To purchase, enter ISBN 0-495-38228-0 at www.ichapters.com. 

The theorem of Konowalow is the basis of the remarkably interesting Faraday Lecture to the London Chemical Society given by Ostwald in 1904. He points out that the considerations which have been summarised above in connection with Konowalow s curves lead to the general law that it is possible in every case to separate solutions into a finite number of hylotropic hoilies. A hylotropic body is characterised by the circumstance that it may be converted completely from one phase into another in a given process under fixed conditions (e.constant temperature or constant pressure) without variation of the properties of the residue and of the new phase. The apparent exceptions furnished by mixtures of maximum or... 

Many authoritative accounts of both general and specific aspects of the reactions of solids and related topics appear as plenary lectures and research papers in the series of International Symposia on the Reactivity of Solids [82—86]. The material presented at these meetings reflects contemporary interests in a diverse and developing field, so that changes in emphasis are to be discerned in the content of the successive symposia held at four-yearly intervals. Reference can also be made here to the conference on Reaction Kinetics in Heterogeneous Chemical Systems in which useful review material is found [87],... 

According to Ashkenazi and Weaver (2007), lecture demonstrations can provide essential experiences that serve as a context for discussion of over-generalized or over-simplified concepts. The design of such demonstrations starts from surveying... 

It is expected that, in the future, inquiry, project-, problem- and context-based approaches will be given more emphasis. Cooperative forms of laboratory instmc-tion must surely be further and systematically explored, taking into account the research-based recormnendations. Lecture demonstrations, effectively designed and performed, will also be useful. Other nonconventional methods can be effectively employed, such as the use of home-laboratory kits to teach general chemistry through distance education (Kermepohl, 2007).
