Frank C. Whitmore (1887-1947) was born in North Attleboro. Massachusetts, and received his Ph.D. at Harvard working with E. L. Jackson. He was professor of chemistry at Minnesota, Northwestern, and the Pennsylvania State University. Nicknamed "Rocky," he wrote an influential advanced textbook in organic chemistry. 

The earliest theoretical predictions on the state of interfaces were made by Burton, Cabrera, and Frank [11[, who demonstrated that the interface would, in most cases, be rough at the growth temperature for metal crystals. Jackson [13[ suggested a system in which the solid and liquid phases are separated by an interface with one-layer thickness, and he calculated the energy changes as a function of the ratio of site occupancy of the constituent unit on the interface. When the site occupancy ratio was 50%, the interface was rough, whereas 0 or 100% site occupancy...

The most recent and most comprehensive study of synthetic paints using Py-GC/MS was undertaken by T. Learner from the Tate GaUery (London). This article on the analysis of synthetic resins found in 20th-century paint media was published in 1995. There he described the use of two methods, Py-GC/MS and FTIR, for the characterization of 20th-century synthetic resins. In his latest paper, Learner substantially broadens the set of resins, using not just artistic synthetic paints, but also paints intended for other, more commercial or industrial markets, since many modem and contemporary artists used this type of material for their oeuvre (for example, Willem de Kooning, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Frank Stella to name just a few). 

Frank Jackson (1998a) and David Chalmers (1996) characterize physicalism as the claim that every truth is necessitated by the totality of truths in the complete language of ideal fundamental physics and the laws of fundamental physics and a statement to the effect that this is the totality of fundamental truths and laws. (The latter can be avoided by restricting the characterization to positive truths.) They hold additionally that the entailments required by physicalism are a priori. I do not assume that here. David Lewis (1983) earlier provided a similar characterization of physicalism. There are issues concerning how to define fundamental physical property or ideal physics and whether this account is sufficient for physicalism. (It is surely necessary.) I discuss these issues in Loewer (2001). 

The concern, then, is that functional states and events do not cause their manifestations rather, their core realizers, their bases — to use another term from disposition theory — cause the manifestations. This concern is succinctly expressed by Frank Jackson (1996) in the following passage ... 

Frank Jackson (1994, 1998b) tells a similar story. He sketches (1998b, p. 59) the following argument for the reduction of temperature to mean molecular kinetic energy ...
