Industrialist

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. [Pg.525]

The industrialist should take note of the utility of molecular dynamics computer simulation in this field and of the rapid developments in progress. [Pg.795]

American industrialist and electrical engineer Elmer A. SpeiTy creates a gyrocompass. [Pg.1242]

Ion exchange, in contrast, creates an effluent that contains between two and five times the mass of inorganic material removed from the product water. Coagulation with aluminum or iron salts creates a sludge, which creates a disposal problem. Green pressure, especially in Switzerland and mid-west USA, which lie in the middle of large land masses, has started to force industrialists to install alternative membrane processes to avoid these discharges. [Pg.482]

In order to provide the reader with afresh perspective on NHCs, the book has been assembled mainly by young emerging researchers, most of whom studied NHCs in undergraduate classes. This is therefore a perspective from a new generation of researchers that never considered NHCs as laboratory curiosities. A complementary perspective is brought by prominent, well-established academic researchers and an industrialist. [Pg.342]

In France, local municipalities with one foul-smelling factory had the power to ban the construction of additional chemical plants. Napoleon also decreed that all factories emitting unpleasant odors should be rated according to the seriousness of the problem. When Leblanc factories got some of the worst scores, they were banned near human habitation. Later, however, both Leblanc and Lavoisier became French national heroes, martyrs of progress. Factory towns named streets after Leblanc, and industrialists commissioned his statue. In 1856—at the peak of the Leblanc pollution in... [Pg.11]

Surprisingly, Britain s hard-fought reforms cost factory owners little. The summer after an industrialist spent 300 to install the towers required by the Alkali Act, nearby fruit trees that had not blossomed in years bloomed and roses grew. Unfortunately, reformers could not convince the government to ban the release of hydrogen sulfide too new technology could control the release of hydrochloric acid gas, but not hydrogen sulfide gas. [Pg.13]

As chemists learned how to analyze chemicals more accurately, it became harder to testify so cavalierly on behalf of polluters. Within a few years, Frankland had become one of Britain s leading chemical experts testifying against industrial emissions. In fact, when he decided in 1857 to move to London to improve his financial prospects, Manchester s polluting industrialists were delighted to see him go. [Pg.49]

Finally, Haber knew how to blend the talents of skilled technicians, industrialists, and scientists from different disciplines. His English collaborator, Robert Le Rossignol, would develop the seals needed to maintain high pressures in an experimental chamber. A highly skilled mechanic, Friedrich Kirchenbauer, would build precision equipment needed for the reaction. Haber later thanked Le Rossignol and Kirchenbauer in his Nobel Prize speech and shared patents with Le Rossignol and prize money with both men. [Pg.65]

By now, Haber was cut off from all but a handful of friends and colleagues. Few academic associates visited or sent words of sympathy, although such gestures would have cost them nothing. The chemical industry, which owed Haber much of its success, had allied itself with the Nazis. Carl Bosch, Haber s old colleague in the nitrogen-fixation process, was the only industrialist who tried to help. [Pg.76]

This brings us to the point of considering the suitability of a technique with respect to a certain analysis, particularly from an industrialist s or contract laboratory viewpoint. This is a very important consideration, as this is not a priori straightforward. There are a number of factors influencing the choice. We will mention just a few of these in arbitrary order ... [Pg.11]

It was dark when I drove up to my house. My wife was in the doorway, and before I stepped in, I said "The War Department wants me to go to Numberg. The Farben industrialists may be put on trial. They want me to head up the prosecution. I m not going, of course."... [Pg.13]

There s that and — well. I don t believe it would be a good idea, under the circumstances, for me to head up any prosecution of German industrialists."... [Pg.20]

Dr. Boettcher The accusations raised are in every respect appalling. There can be no doubt whatever that this trial is destined to write history and to clear up the question how, in the future, leading industrialists should conduct themselves in the event of an international... [Pg.75]

The defendants had threatened all the Polish industrialists. That was clear. Even before they stole Szpilfogel s Wola, they had planned to steal the firm of Winnica at the point of a gun, and they had used that threat before the armies marched. [Pg.122]

Heinrich Buetefisch, one of the two greatest experts on fuel synthesis, had joined the SS for business reasons. With a few other industrialists he had also joined the Himmler s "circle of friends" to talk over Germany s economic problems with Himmler and Goering. [Pg.170]

Goering speak to a gathering of industrialists. The most important men present were from Farben. Goering outlined again the purpose of the Four Year Plan "We are already on the threshold of mobilization and we are already at war. All that is lacking is the actual shooting."... [Pg.252]

Ilgner himself was descended from Swedish commercial travelers. The Swedish industrialists reminded him that Germany could hardly expect to sell to Jewish interests whose products all over the world had just been boycotted by Hitler, nor to others whom the boycott had influenced against the new Nazi government nor to many others who believed that their sales might come whizzing back across their borders some day. [Pg.266]

Without openly questioning Ilgner s motives, the Swedish industrialists in 1933 understood that the big danger of war lay not in the hearts of bellicose Nazis who didn t want to export. Without selling abroad at this time, Germany wouldn t have the goods to plan a war. The real danger lay in the alliance between the Nazis and industrialists. [Pg.266]

That was 1929. I went to see Charlie Mitchell and he said to me, "Don t worry about it, don t get excited." But he said, "You can talk to Walter Teagle, the president of Standard Oil, and other industrialists. He can tell you whether this has to be taken seriously." Then I went to see Teagle and he said, "You are not well known, you Farben people. You have got to make some publicity first. Our publicity agent is Mr. Ivy Lee. I am going to have you introduced to him.". .. He had me introduced. I went to see Ivy Lee. The board of American I.G. retained him. [Pg.267]

I emphasized that we industrialists would desire international cooperation. We [Farben] were against exaggerated self-sufficiency. As at that time we had the world depression, I myself coined the phrase, "We are all in the same boat."... [Pg.270]

The French group at present seems to be under the impression that our government has not authorized us to confer with the French industrialists.. . . Should you hear of any such remark, particularly... [Pg.294]

Then the French Ministry of Production violated the Hitler-Petain pact and issued a special ruling agreeing not to stand in the way of Farben control. Still, the French industrialists stretched out the negotiations. Von Schnitzler wrote to a subordinate in Poland ... [Pg.298]

Three times during the summer and autumn of 1939, in secret meetings, Hitler had set the exact date for the attack on Poland. Since industrialists would not march, or negotiate with "the enemy," or concern themselves with the tactical value of invading at harvest time, no industrialist went to those three meetings. Only a few of Hitler s top military and political advisors were there. These were the men found guilty at the Goering trial. [Pg.340]
