Horace

HORACE used alternating phases of classification (which topological or physicochemical features are required for a reaction type) and generalization (which features are allowed and can be eliminated) to produce a hierarchical classification of a set of reaction instances. 

As high technology continues to transform the modern biochemical laboratory, it is interesting to reflect on Linns Pauling s discovery of the u-helix. It involved only a piece of paper, a pencil, scissors, and a sick Linus Pauling, who had tired of reading detective novels. The story is told in the excellent book The Eighth Day of Creation by Horace Freeland Judson ... 

I think it was worthwhile to take a specific case to show that conclusion. Its major purpose is to make Popperian logic and Kuhn s unpredictable circle of normal science, crisis, and revolution better known among chemists and to show how both theories - those of Popper and Kuhn - commingle in the development of scientific discoveries. A third phenomenon should also be mentioned, although it did not play a role in our specific case, namely serendipity, i. e., the gift of making valuable discoveries not sought for. The word serendipity was coined by the British writer Horace Walpole in a letter in 1754 based on the title of the Persian fairy-tale The...

In August 1957, Dr. Tipson left Pittsburgh to accept a research appointment in Washington, D.C., at the National Bureau of Standards, where he assumed a position in the prestigious research laboratory headed by Dr. Horace S. Isbell. Here he had an opportunity to devote his efforts full-time to... 

Horace Kallen, the nation s foremost theorist of pluralism, unselfconsciously remarked upon the power of precisely this kind of history lesson. Professing that the moral education of the Passover seder and the story of Egyptian bondage had a profound effect on him, Kallen went on ... 

Historians credit the first public demonstration of true surgical anesthesia to William Morton, an American dentist (Fenster 2001). In 1844, Horace Wells, who was a dentist in Hartford, Connecticut, attended a public lecmre demonstration of the effects of laughing gas. One member of the audience had volunteered to inhale the nitrous oxide and then accidentally gashed his leg but felt no pain. Wells asked William Morton to... 

A new method of determining the presence of tyrosine by bromina-tion was introduced by Horace Brown and employed by Adrian Brown and Millar in 1906 for estimating the rate at which tyrosine is split off from proteins by the action of trypsin. This method might be used for the estimation of tyrosine in proteins its non-employment may be due to the fact that tryptophane and also histidine react with bromine and might thus vitiate the result for tyrosine. 

Vauquelin taught for a time at the College de France and at the Jardin des Plantes, and in 1811, upon the death of his old friend and teacher, M. Fourcroy, he became his successor as professor of chemistry in the School of Medicine. In 1828 the Department of Calvados, in which his native village of St. Andr d Hebertot is situated, appointed him as one of its deputies. He discharged the duties of this office with honor, striving always for the best interest of his beloved Republic. Although his early days were spent in poverty and toil, he became a man of broad culture, took pleasure in music and literature, and frequently quoted his favorite authors, Horace and Virgil (16).
