Louis Robert

In 1798, Nicolas Louis Robert invented the paper machine. It took more than fifty years, however, until calenders were installed in the paper machine. These calenders - also called machine calenders - consisted of at least two hard rolls. A decade later the supercalender appeared with a large number of alternating hard... 

Charles, Jacques Alexandre Cesar (1746-1823) A French chemist and physicist best known for his discovery of Charles s law. He made the first hydrogen balloon ascent in 1783, which was sponsored by the Academic des Sciences. He prepared the hydrogen, filled the balloon, and with an assistant, Nicolas-Louis Robert (1760-1820), rose to aheight of over 500 m. He also experimented with atmospheric electricity. 

Three years later Robert F Furchgott discov ered that the relaxing of smooth muscles such as blood vessel walls was stimulated by an unknown substance produced in the lining of the blood vessels (the endothelium) He called this substance the endothelium-dependent relaxing factor or EDRF and in 1986 showed that EDRF was NO Louis J Ignarro reached the same conclusion at about the same time Further support was provided by Salvador Moncada who showed that endothelial cells did in deed produce NO and that the l arginine to l citrulline conversion was responsible... 

Summaries of the properties of gases, particularly the variation of pressure with volume and temperature, are known as the gas laws. The first reliable measurements of the properties of gases were made by the Anglo-Irish scientist Robert Boyle in 1662 when he examined the effect of pressure on volume. A century and a half later, a new pastime, hot-air ballooning, motivated two French scientists, Jacques Charles and Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac, to formulate additional gas laws. Charles and...

Of critical importance was the work of Louis Pasteur in France, Robert Koch in Germany, and Joseph Lister in England in the nineteenth century that established the germ theory of disease, a demonstration that took an amazing amount of time to catch on. Too many people, including scientists, do not understand that some fraction of what they know is just not so. People hold onto their misinformation with remarkable tenacity, retarding the acceptance of new knowledge. 

Millions of people died of infection before the discovery of antibiotics. During the early twentieth century and before, infectious diseases were cured by using potions and plant extracts. Patients were quarantined to keep the infections from spreading. At first, several scientists started their research by keeping records of the infectious diseases. As a result of this work, pioneers like Joseph Lister, Louis Pasteur, and Robert Koch have proven the existence of microbes and the way they are responsible for infections. Their use of disinfectants, antitoxins, vaccination and anti-infectives laid the foundation for modern day therapy of infectious diseases.
