DANBIIRITE. The mineral danburile, CaBjSijO. calcium-boron silicate, crystallizes in the orthorhombic system in prismatic forms somewhat resembling the mineral topaz. Its fracture is subconchoidal brittle hardness, 7 specific gravity. 2.97-3.02 color, colorless, yellowish-white, yellow, dark wine yellow and brownish-yellow luster, vitreous to greasy translucent to transparent. It is found at Danbury. Connecticut, from whence its name was derived. Saint Lawrence County, New York. Switzerland, Japan, and Madagascar.

The possibility of a fluid-to-solid transition in the hard-sphere model was first predicted by Kirkwood and his co-workers [17-19]. This prediction was part of the stimulus for the celebrated studies of hard spheres by Alder and Wainwright [20] at the Lawrence-Livermore National Laboratory using the molecular dynamics (MD) method and by Wood and Jacobson [21] at the... 

Ernest Lawrence s experimental skill, hard work, and professional ambition were soon common knowledge among many physicists, and offers of employment came from a nnmber of nniversities. The most attractive was from the University of California in Berkeley, an institntion that was eager to bnild a repntation as a world-class center for scientific research and education. In 1928 Lawrence moved across the country to assume an associate professorship at Berkeley. Two years later he was a full professor, the youngest in the history of the nniversity. 

Seaborg worked hard to ensure that science education was not slighted and that science would be seen as a tremendous boon to humanity. Along these lines, it was his leadership that helped to bring into existence the Lawrence Hall of Science at Berkeley as a tribute to Ernest Orlando Lawrence, see also Americium Curium Lawrence, Ernest Plutonium. 

Lawrence, orders of magnitude less articulate than Oppenheimer, was also fiercely driven the question is what drove him. A paragraph from a letter to his brother John, written at about the same time as Oppenheimer s essay, is revealing Interested to hear you have had a period of depression. I have them often—sometimes nothing seems to be OK—but I have gotten used to them now. I expect the blues and I endure them. Of course the best palliative is work, but sometimes it is hard to work under the circumstances. That work is only a palliative, not a cure, hints at how blue the blues could be. Lawrence was a hidden sufferer, in some measure manic-depressive he kept moving not to fall in. 

They had had to work for nearly half a year before they could present their tentative conclusions in a short letter to the London journal Nature. Briefly, the letter reported the first in history artificial synthesis of a new chemical element. This was element 43 the futile search for which on Earth wasted so much efforts of scientists from many coimtries. Professor E. Lawrence from the University of California at Berkley gave the authors a molybdenum plate irradiated with deutrons in the Berkley cyclotron. The plate exhibited a high radioactivity level which could hardly be due to any single substance. The half-life was such that the substances could not be radioactive isotopes of zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, and ruthenium. Most probably they were isotopes of element 43. 

Parameters for the U of I satellite design, named S4FFJi f35] (see Fig. 5), are hardly more demanding than a D-T RM. The extrapolation from present experiments like 2X-II and 6-II at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory could be fairly rapid once the basic physics of field reversal is better understood.
