The task of relating carbohydrate configurations to names requires either a world class memory or an easily recalled mnemonic A mnemonic that serves us well here was pop ularized by the husband-wife team of Lours F Fieser and Mary Fieser of Harvard Uni versity m their 1956 textbook Organic Chemistry As with many mnemonics it s not clear who actually invented it and references to this particular one appeared m the chem ical education literature before publication of the Fiesers text The mnemonic has two features (1) a system for setting down all the stereoisomeric d aldohexoses m a logical order and (2) a way to assign the correct name to each one... [Pg.1032]

During the Middle (Dark) Ages, wine and winemaking along with other sacraments and knowledge were husbanded in cloisters and enclaves which maintained the pockets of sophistication that enabled the later flowering of the Renaissance (9,10). Wine became further associated with art, letters, religion, and culture, and it remains so. [Pg.366]

The present author was worried about the lack of knowledge concerning the quality of the kinetic models used in the industry. A model is by definition a small, scaled-down imitation of the real thing. (Men should remember tliis when their mothers-in-law call them model husbands.) In the industry all we require from a kinetic model is that it describe the chemical rate adequately by using traditional mathematical forms (Airhenius law, power law expressions and combinations of these) within the limits of its applications. Neither should it rudely violate the known laws of science. [Pg.117]

My son Andrew has steadfastly encouraged me in the writing of this book, and I thank him for this filial support. My dear wife, Pat, has commented on various passages. Moreover, she has made this whole enterprise feasible, not only by her confidence in her eccentric husband s successive pursuits but by always providing an affectionate domestic environment 1 cannot possibly ever thank her enough. [Pg.584]

The activity of a sample, source or contaminated material is the rate at which radioactive disintegrations are taking place. The initial term, named by Madam Curie for her husband was, the Curie (Table 8.3-1). The modem unit is the Becquerel named after the discoverer of... [Pg.327]

Marie Cui ie, working in the laboratory with her husband Pierre. (AP/ A/ide World Photos)... [Pg.316]

After Pierre s death, Marie was faced with having to present her work without the support and social skills of her husband. Furthermore, she spent numerous years defending her work from William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) who did not believe that radioactivity... [Pg.317]

Dorothy s husband. Thomas Hodgkin, was a scholar in his own right with an interest in the history of Africa. Apparently realizing that hers was the greater talent, he acted as a "house-husband" for their three children so she would have more time to devote to research. One wonders how Dorothy and Thomas Hodgkin reacted to the 1964 headline in a London tabloid, "British Wife Wins Nobel Prize."... [Pg.248]

During World War I. Haber was in charge of the German poison gas program. In April of 1915. the Germans used chlorine for the first time on the Western front, causing 5000 fatalities. Haber s wife. Clara, was aghast she pleaded with her husband to forsake poison gas. When he adamantly refused to do so. she committed suicide. [Pg.343]

The first radioactive isotopes to be made in the laboratory were prepared in 1934 by Irene Curie and her husband, Frederic Joliot They achieved this by bombarding certain stable isotopes with high-energy alpha particles. One reaction was... [Pg.515]

Marie and Irene Curie, and their husbands, Pierre Curie and Frederic Joliot. Marie Curie (1867-1934) was born Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, then a part of the Russian empire. In 1891 she emigrated to Paris to study at the Sorbonne, where she met and married a French physicist, Pierre Curie (1859-1906). The Curies were associates of Henri Becquerel, the man who discovered that uranium salts are radioactive. They showed that thorium, like uranium, is radioactive and that the amount of radiation emitted is directly proportional to the amount of uranium or thorium in the sample. [Pg.517]

He did a documentary film on. . . who was Keely Smith s husband my friend asked. The question was like the birthdate on her driver s license. You re making me think. I don t like to think. ... [Pg.54]

A blond-haired black woman to my left at die bar introduced herself. She had just met Ms. Perez, and widi four cocktails sitting before me, I looked like another player. She was the D.J. s modier, and the man next to her was her husband. They had driven from North Carolina for the evening. [Pg.99]

It is a diner that, since it was taken over by Stuart Tarabour and Dona Abramson, who are now husband and wife, in 1991, has had improbably good food—short order but stylish. Mr. Tarabour preceded it slightly, with Kitchen Market, an ethnic food store, which he opened in 1985. [Pg.152]

Karen Tompkins was Mr. Olian s latest cocktail muse. While her husband switched from Pinot Grigio to a Pinot Noir, Karen tasted a raspberry Flirtini that Mr. Olian set before her and asked her opinion of—a professional Valentine. She liked it. [Pg.168]

Mr. Talley, a 64-year-old retired schoolteacher, has cancer and is to receive morphine through a PCA infusion pump. His wife is eager to help, but Mr. Talley is very independent and refuses any assistame from her. Formulate a teaching plan for Mr. Talley that includes the use of PCA, adverse reactions to expect, and what adverse reactions to report. Discuss what methods the nurse might use to include Mrs. Talley in the care of her husband. [Pg.178]

Explain why you would ask them. [Pg.244]

Haas, D. B., Gillies, R., Small, M. and Husband, W. H. W. Saskatchewan Research Council publication No. E-835-1-C80 (March 1980). Study of the hydraulic properties of coarse particles of metallurgical coal when transported in slurry form through pipelines of various diameters. [Pg.228]

In 1896, the French scientist Fienri Becquerel happened to store a sample of uranium oxide in a drawer that contained some photographic plates (Fig. 17.2). He was astonished to find that the uranium compound darkened the plates even though they were covered with an opaque material. Becquerel realized that the uranium compound must give off some kind of radiation. Marie Sklodowska Curie (Fig. 17.3), a young Polish doctoral student, showed that the radiation, which she called radioactivity, was emitted by uranium regardless of the compound in which it was found. She concluded that the source must be the uranium atoms themselves. Together with her husband, Pierre, she went on to show that thorium, radium, and polonium are also radioactive. [Pg.819]

At these sites, Maurice passed his childhood, a period he enjoyed very much and where he learned country pursuits and animal husbandly—as he said, We always had two pigs in the sty, one to sell and one to keep. Subsequently, after several transitory jobs, his father secured the position of general builder on a local estate. He did not live to see Maurice s major successes. In his early sixties, he tried to release a cat from a trap and was badly bitten. From this incident, he died from septicemia in 1938. Maurice always spoke with gratitude of the encouragement he received from his parents. [Pg.2]

In 1914, two European immigrants, Karen Blixen and her husband, established a coffee plantation outside of Nairobi in what is now Kenya. Conditions seemed perfect for coffee, as both the altitude and latitude closely matched that of Colombia, a highly successful coffee-growing country. Nevertheless, the coffee plants withered and eventually died, because the soil in that part of Kenya is too acidic for coffee plants to flourish. Blixen eventually became famous as the author of Out of Africa, which was made into an Oscar-winning movie. [Pg.1332]

Every type of plant requires soil whose pH falls within a particular range. No crops like strongly acid soils. If soil pH falls much below 5, only grasses grow well. Blixen and her husband might have been successful had they tried cattle ranching rather than growing coffee. [Pg.1332]
