If adult odor preferences are in fact influenced by early olfactory experience, then chemosensory processing must be functional early in rodent development. Indeed, the chemosensory systems develop very early in rodents (Alberts 1976 Astic and Saucier 1981), and chemosensory processing appears to be functional both prena-tally (Pedersen and Blass 1982 Stickrod, Kimble and Smotherman 1982) and peri-natally, as evidenced by behavioral responses to odors (Devor and Schneider 1974 Gregory and Bishop 1975 Leon and Moltz 1971 Porter and Etscorn 1974). For example, Syrian hamster pups display behavioral preferences for different types of artificial odorants as early as postnatal day 4 (Devor and Schneider 1974). These data suggest that young rodents are able to both process and respond to odors present in their early environment.

In 1963, the first volume of Advances in Photochemistry appeared. It was founded by W. Albert Noyes, Jr., along with George Hairanond and James N. Pitts, Jr. Therefore, it is fitting that we dedicate the rebirth of this series, which was discontinued temporarily after Volume 12 appeared in 1980, to his memory. Many of the review articles that have appeared in earlier issues of Advances in Photochemistry were written by his former graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. These include R. Srinivasan, Derrick Hoare, Hideo Okabe, Jacques LeMaire, Israel Unger, Julian Heicklen, David Phillips, and Gerald Porter.

Ultra-oriented polyethylene with mechanical properties approaching those of metals was made by solid-state processes, in some cases combined with solution processes. A number of scientists were active in the field Ian Ward (UK), Roger Porter (USA), Albert Pennings and Piet Lemstra (Netherlands). The pioneering work of elucidating the mechanisms of transformation from the isotropic to the fibrous polymer is due to Anton Peterlin (USA).
