He was a member of the American Chemical Society, and of its Carbohydrate Division (Chairman, 1972-1973) and its Cellulose, Paper, and Textile Division (Chairman, 1971-1972). He was also a member of The Chemical Society (London), The Society of the Sigma Xi, the Combustion Institute, the Torrey Botanical Club, the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry, and the Montana Academy of Sciences. He served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis and the Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology. He chaired a number of symposia and conferences, including the July, 1983, Gordon Conference on Analytical Pyrolysis. Through election by the University of Montana faculty, he served on the Faculty Senate and on the Executive Committee of the Senate. In 1980, he was awarded the University of Montana s first Distinguished Research Award. 

The Agency is utilizing modern information technology techniques to assess the quality and safety of new substance drugs that companies would like to make available within the EU. Application by a sponsor is directed to the team of experts in London following the centralized procedure. Also, if necessary, the Agency can call upon a very effective network of experts situated in 30 countries. 

Apart from the class of push-pull molecules many other polyconjugated systems exhibit peculiar electronic properties which make them very attractive for technological applications. Most of these systems do not posses a permanent dipole moment and their mutual interactions are due only to London dispersion forces. Also in this case, however,... 

Satriana (2) provides a summary of the development of flue gas treatment technology. The first commercial application of flue gas scrubbing for sulfur dioxide control was at the Battersea-A Power Station [228 MW(e)] in London, England, in 1933. The process used a packed spray tower with a tail-end alkaline wash to remove 90 percent of the sulfur dioxide and particulates. Alkaline water from the Thames River provided most of the alkali for absorption. The scrubber effluent was discharged back into the Thames River after oxidation and settling. A similar process was also operated at the Battersea-B Power Station [245 MW(e)] beginning in 1949. The Battersea-B system operated successfully until 1969, when desulfurization efforts were suspended due to adverse effects on Thames River water quality. The Battersea-A system continued until 1975, when the station was closed. 

Dr. Judit Puskas holds Canada s first Industrial Research Chair in Elastomer Technology at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. She thinks that an elastomer called polyisobutylene, along with some of its derivatives, looks promising. In the future, it may be used to make better artificial arteries. It may also be useful for other implants, since it can imitate the rubber-like properties of elastin. 

Fig. 5.6 Didier Astruc (bom 1946 in Versailles) studied chemistry at the University of Rennes, where he received his Ph.D. with Professor Rene Dabard in 1975. He then moved to MIT as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow, where he worked with the 2005 Nobel laureate Richard R. Schrock. After being a Lecturer and Master Lecturer at the University Institute for Technology of Saint-Nazaire, he worked for the CNRS at Rennes where he became Maitre de Recherche in 1982. Since 1983 he is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bordeaux I and has been promoted to the exceptional class of university professors in 1996. His research interests comprise preparative and mechanistic organometallic chemistry, catalysis, and electron transfer processes. More recently, he has developed the synthesis and supramolecular electronics of organometallic dendrimers. He is the author of Electron Transfer and Radical Processes in Transition-Metal Chemistry and of the standard textbook Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis . A recipient of several major research awards, Didier is also a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France, a member of the Academia Europeae, London, and the German Academy Leopoldina, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (photo by courtesy from D.

Imperial College of Science and Technology in London in 1939. His main subject was chemistry, but he also studied geology as an ancillary discipline, and did so well that he won the prestigious Murchison Prize in Geology. While throughout his life he made a point of not caring about prizes or awards, he proudly showed visitors this impressive bronze medal.
