The WLN was applied to indexing the Chemical Structure Index (CSI) at the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) [13] and the Ituiex Chemicus Registry System (ICRS) as well as the Crossbow System of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICl). With the introduction of connection tables in the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) in 1965 and the advent of molecular editors in the 1970s, which directly produced connection tables, the WLN lost its importance. 

Dr. Basil T. Fedoroff, scientist and engineer, who worked at Picatinny Arsenal from 1946—1961 and served as an Arsenal consultant from 1961—1975, died in Miami, Florida on 29 December 1976 at the age of 85. Dr. Fedoroff, who was best known as the Chief Editor of the Encyclopedia of Explosives and Related Items , Volumes 1 to 7 (1960—1975), was bom in Merv, Russia on 8 January 1891. He graduated from the Imperial Tomsk Institute of Technology as a chemical engineer in 1914, and earned his doctorate in the same field from the University of Paris, Sorbonne in 1940...

Fig. 2.36 Martin A. Bennett is now Emeritus Professor at the Australian National University (ANU). He received his Ph.D. from the Imperial College London under the guidance of Geoffrey Wilkinson in 1960 and, after postdoctoral work with Arthur Adamson at the University of Southern California, became a Lecturer at the University College London in 1963. Four years later he moved down under and joined the Research School of Chemistry at ANU, where he was appointed Professorial Fellow in 1979 and Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in 1991. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the Royal Society of London, was awarded with the Nyholm Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1991 and with the Max Planck Research Award in 1994. Martin won fellowships from the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation in 1973 and 1980 and during the last time was a visiting professor in our department (photo by courtesy of M.B.)...

In the United Kingdom in the early 1960s, Imperial Chemical Industries started developing the concept of the HAZOP study (a chemical industry safety analysis). In 1974, it was presented at an American Institute of Chemical Engineers conference... 

Fine desulfurizer at room temperature. Since the end of 1980s, Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd (ICI) developed a fine desulphurization process on Hydrolyzed Zinc Oxide at room temperature. Yuhua Kong et al in Hubei Institute of Chemistry, China, developed T504 catalysts for COS hydrolysis and TlOl activated carbon fine desulfurizer successfully, and achieved fine desulphurization at room temperature, with the sulfur content below O.lmg/m in the gas after desulphurization. These desulfurizers are suitable to protect the catalysts for the methanation, ammonia synthesis and methanol synthesis.

Reader, Imperial Chemical Industries, 1 425-49 Frederick E. Breithut discussed the British firms and licensing system in detail in a Department of Commerce report. The British initially instituted the licensing system by an executive order, which a judge overruled at the end of 1919. Parliament replaced the system with a new law in early 1921, as...

On his return home in 1911, Honda was appointed professor of physies at the new Tohoku Imperial University in Sendai, in the north of Japan this institution had been established only in 1906, when the finance minister twisted the arm of an industrialist who had made himself unpopular because of pollution eaused by his copper mines and extracted the necessary funds to build the new university. A provisional institute of physical and chemical research was initiated in 1916, divided into a part devoted to novel plastics and another to metals. This proved to be Honda s lifetime domain he assembled a lively team of young physicists and chemists. In the same year, Honda invented a high-cobalt steel also containing tungsten and chromium, which had by far the highest coercivity of any permanent-magnet material then known. He called it KS steel, for K. Sumitomo, one of his sponsors, and it made Honda famous.
