RM producers could obtain greater support for research, production and certification of RMs. Increasingly, laboratories must convince policy level managers that these RMs serve major objectives of human welfare. Instead of presentations which detail the minutiae of a somewhat arcane technical field, presentations (directed at those who control resources) are needed which discuss the external driving forces and expand on the contributions of RMs to the most fundamental and serious problems facing the world (Rasberry 1998). 

Natural resources affect people and people affect natural resources. Many qualities or attributes of nature are customarily described as "natural resources" - soils, climate, plants, minerals, and others. But these are not really resources for human welfare until appropriate amounts of human energy, resourcefulness, capital, and managerial capacity have been applied to these qualities of nature, to transform them into materials and services usable by people. 

Soil is the central organizer of the terrestrial ecosystem and its physical, chemical, and biological processes have enormous impacts on ecosystem productivity, services, integrity, and human welfare. On April 21, 2000, the Council of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) approved the organization of the IUSS scientific structure Dl. Soil in Space and Time, D2. Soil Properties and Processes, D3. Soil Use and Management,... 

In my view, the interfaces are the most underdeveloped areas of the sciences including Soil Sciences. Fundamental understanding of soil physical-chemical-biological interfacial interactions is a major step forward in advancing our understanding of in-situ interactive soil reactions and processes and their impacts on human welfare. 

Develop medicines and therapies that can cure currently untreatable diseases. In spite of the great progress that has been made in the invention of new medicines by chemists, and new materials and delivery vehicles by engineers, the challenges in these directions are vast. New medicines to deal with cancer, viral diseases, and many other maladies will enormously improve human welfare.

The basic structure of carotenoids is a conjugated polyprenoid chain. Carotenoids exert a positive impact on human welfare. They show marked singlet molecular oxygen quenching capacity [11] and they protect against photosensitized peroxidation of lipids [12],... 

Industrial laboratories, legislation and control offices for human welfare, food and environmental protection are mainly interested in practical methods, which are maximally rapid, easy-to-carry-out, reliable and reproducible. However, this controversy exists only on the surface of chromatographic science. Practical problems always represent a serious challenge for the theoretical chromatographers and frequently offer new directions of research. On the other hand, practical analysts cannot solve uncommon problems without adequate knowledge of the theory of separation science. 

When Biochemical Individuality appeared in 1956, it was the only broad review of the quantitative aspects of biochemical and anatomical individuality. It remains so, as far as I know. Later reviews are generally far more limited and specialized. Ill And few other reviews provide as stimulating a discussion for those inclined to think broadly about improving human welfare. 

Fritz Haber is a major contributor to human welfare through finding the means to convert elemental nitrogen into ammonia. That is the heroic side of Fritz Haber. He is also known as the father of chemical warfare based on his development of chlorine as a lethal gas during World War 1. Haber was Germany s tsar of gas warfare. He went to the front personally to oversee the placement of chlorine tanks as gas warfare weapons.

Chemistry is one of the most important of all sciences for human welfare. 

AAAS. The American Association for the Advancement of Science was founded in 1848 and incorporated in 1874. Its objectives are to further the work of scientists, to facilitate cooperation among them, to foster scientific freedom and responsibility, to improve the effectiveness of science in promoting human welfare, to advance education in science, and to increase public understanding and appreciation for the importance and promise of the methods of science in human progress. The AAAS head quarters is in Washington, DC. Additional information on the AAAS can be found at htlp //www.aaas.org/ and http //www.sciencemag.org/.
