Acetylene-Based Routes. Walter Reppe, the father of modem acetylene chemistry, discovered the reaction of nickel carbonyl with acetylene and water or alcohols to give acryUc acid or esters (75,76). This discovery led to several processes which have been in commercial use. The original Reppe reaction requires a stoichiometric ratio of nickel carbonyl to acetylene. The Rohm and Haas modified or semicatalytic process provides 60—80% of the carbon monoxide from a separate carbon monoxide feed and the remainder from nickel carbonyl (77—78). The reactions for the synthesis of ethyl acrylate are... 

The switch is a clever one.Though the taste is new, the idea is old. Among die major branches of the martini s genealogical tree is the Martinez, a gin and sweet vermouth cocktail, mixed in a reverse proportion to the modern martini, that presses a paternity claim called into question by the fact that no one can agree on who fathered die original Martinez, or where or with what. 

Written in France in the late 1750s and published in London in 1806. The original document was written in the hand of Nicolas Flamel in a coded alphabet consisting of 96 letters. It was written in secrecy and intended only for his nephew. A Parisian scribe named Father Pernetti and a Monsieur de Saint Marc were finally able to break the code... 

Thomas Hancock (1785-1865) is designated the father of the rubber industry and to him Great Britain is indebted for the honour of being the first country to manufacture rubber successfully as a large-scale project. His first major discovery, in 1819, was the process of masticating and mixing raw rubber. His subsequent claim, in his Personal Narrative published in 1857, that this was unquestionably the origin and commencement of the India-rubber manufacture, properly so called , has been amply verified since. 

A. Absolutely right.. . . The initiative for setting up the firm originated with me. In other words, I m the spiritual father of this construction firm of our own, to bring about a clear-cut separation of objectives from Farben objectives. 

In the original process the cellulose nitrate itself was used as the fiber (hence its satirical description as mother-in-law silk ). The regenerating agent is ammonium hydrosulfide. The basic process was first demonstrated by J. W. Swan in London in 1885 but commercialized by Count L. M. H. B. de Chardonnet ( Father of the rayon industry ) in France in 1891 and operated there until 1934. The last working factory, that in Brazil, was burnt down in 1949. The other processes for making rayon fibers by regenerating cellulose ( viscose, cupram-monium) gave superior products. See also Rayon. 

With the exception of certain viruses, the blueprint for all organisms is contained in code by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a giant macro-molecule whose structure allows a vast amount of information to be stored accurately. We have all arisen from a single cell, the fertilized ovum containing two sets of DNA (packaged with protein to form chromatin), one set from our mother, resident in the nucleus of the unfertilized ovum, the second set from our father via the successful sperm. Every cell in the adult has arisen from this one cell and (with the exception of the germ cell and specialized liver cells) contains one copy of these original chromosome sets. 

Dr. Mark is acknowledged throughout the scientific community as the father of polymer science. He received the National Medal of Science in 1980, the 1978 Senior U.S. Scientist Award, 29 other medals and awards from various international organizations, and 17 honorary degrees. In 1977, he was appointed as an Honorable Member of the Japan Chemical Society. He has published over 500 original and review articles and some 20 books on topics related to polymer chemistry. Dr. Mark is founder and first editor of the Journal of Polymer Science, the definitive publication in its field, and is currently editor of the Journal of Applied Science and associate editor of the Textile Research Journal. In addition to these duties he serves as Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology. 

Born in Georgia in 1867, Herty was the son of a pharmacist and originally planned to enter his father s profession. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a Ph.B. in 1886, however, he decided to undertake advanced study in chemistry under Ira Remsen at The Johns Hopkins University. Herty received his Ph.D. from Hopkins in 1890, and, after a year at the Georgia State Experiment Station, joined the faculty of the University of Georgia, where he remained for the next decade. During that period he took a leave of absence to pursue postdoctoral work at the universities of Berlin and Zurich. While in Berlin, he attended the lectures of the noted synthetic dye chemist Otto Witt. 

By 1900, Dixon had succeeded Roscoe, and Perkin, Jr., had succeeded Schorlemmer. The Schorlemmer laboratory and the Perkin laboratory (named for Perkin, Jr., s father) provided facilities for organic teaching and research the Frankland and Dalton laboratories (originally built in 1872) were for undergraduates. The private library and laboratory of E. Schunck were bequeathed to the university and moved there from the moors of Kersal. The John Morley laboratory for organic chemistry was completed in 1909.70... 

People inherit two copies of their genes — one from their mother and one from their father. Usually both copies of each gene are active, or "turned on," in cells. In some cases, however, only one of the two copies is normally turned on. Which copy is active depends on the parent of origin some genes are normally active only when they are inherited from a person s father others are active only when inherited from a person s mother. This phenomenon is known as genomic imprinting. 

ORIGIN OF NAME Tantalum was named after Tantalus, who was the father of Niobe, the queen of Thebes, a city in Greek mythology. (Note The element tantalum was originally confused with the element nobelium.)...
