Post-Second World War

Some have since argued that most of the wildlife changes detected in the 1950s, were mainly a consequence of the increasing adoption of the intensive, highly mechanised agriculture that characterised the post-Second World War food production. In northern Europe, for example. 

The third post—Second World War environmental law, the pesticide act passed in 1947, had to be dealt with as well. A rewriting of this statute, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, was inevitable given...

A very important trend during the post-Second World War period has been the increasing size of plants, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the petrochemicals sector, where capacities of 100000 tonnes per annum are commonplace. Large integrated chemical complexes have evolved, due to this increase in scale, and the need to locate petrochemical plants adjacent to refineries, so as to minimize transportation of vast quantities of chemicals. 

The primary issue here is obviously energy, considering that more than 90 per cent of these resources are used as fuels, but the fact that the vast majority of organic chemicals and synthetic polymers are derived from them (as a result of the petrochemical revolution of the post-Second World War boom), constitutes an equally serious challenge. 

The rules are known in chemistry as the VSEPR rules, where VSEPR is the acronym of valence-shell electron-pair repulsion, and they were devised in 1957 by Gillespie and Nyholm, ] two young scientists—one English, Gillespie, and the other Australian, Nyholm—who were both students of Sir Christopher Ingold, one of the greatest British chemists in the post-Second World War era. 

During the first 25 years about 150 papers were presented. About one-third of the papers focused on a purely scientific subject while one-third presented an industrial subject. The rest were on analysis and control and on education and administration. The speakers also discussed science policy, for instance the establishment of an industrial laboratory in Norway as early as 1893, an institution that was not realized until the post-Second World War period. Another frequent topic was the discussion of the establishment of a technical college in Norway and where it should be located. Finally in 1900, Stortinget (the Norwegian Parliament) decided to locate the college in Trondheim. The Norwegian Technical College opened in 1911. ... 

One aspect, computers, will not be considered, although they are the basis of space achievements and successful remote detection. All of the calculations and maps are performed and drawn with their aid without computers, we would still be at the medieval stage of the post-second-world-war days.
