Professional Activities

I hope that this book will be useful for everyone whose professional activity is connected with surface science. 

Mark wants to take me all the way home, but I say in as firm a voice as I can muster that I have things to look up in the Saint Bride Library of printing, and get him to drop me as soon as we re over Blackfriars Bridge. I walk through the neat, old alleys and steps, which are centuries-worn but corporate-clean, the prosperous bustle of the City behind me apparently wiping out the last, louche remains of Fleet Street. Without Mark at my side I don t have to feel anything for a while it can all be dry, cool professional activity.

Chapter 5 focused on professional activities. A majority of interviewees held memberships in professional scientific associations mostly ACS and NOBCChE. Although interviewees were divided with respect to the value of belonging only to ACS or NOBCChE or both, several industrial chemists believed that NOBCChE was a vital networking and support mechanism that allowed them to overcome their employment isolation. 

This book is organized in seven major chapters. The first chapter addresses the historical presence of African Americans in the chemistry community. The second chapter discusses the demographic characteristics of the responding chemists. The third focuses on the interviewees educational experiences. The fourth chapter discusses workforce-related issues. The fifth chapter discusses professional activities, while the sixth chapter focuses on racial attitudes. The final chapter discusses the implications of the findings for policy and research. 

The term Tiealth professional includes members of the medical, dental, pharmacy and nursing professions and any other persons who in the course of their professional activities may prescribe, supply or administer a medicine. 

Psychologists are highly trained mental health professionals. Their professional activities overlap by more than 90% with those of psychiatrists, except for the prescription of medication. In the interest of public mental... 

ECT use also varied widely by geographic region. For example, patients in the north central states (Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas) were approximately four times more likely to receive ECT than patients in the mountain states (Montana, Idaho, V oming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada). These differences are supported by data from the American Psychiatric Association s Professional Activities Survey, which show that rates varied from 0.4 to 81.2 patients per 10,000 population in the 202 metropolitan areas in which ECT use was reported ( 138). Of note, no ECT use was reported in 115 metropolitan areas. In addition, an analysis of these data found that less than 8% of all psychiatrists in the United States provide ECT ( 139). Finally, depressed... 

We would like to express our gratitude to the distinguished colleagues and friends who contributed the chapters their commitment is indeed a fundamental ingredient of this initiative. We also thank people at Wiley for their assistance during the various phases of the editorial work. Finally, we would like to thank our families because their love and patience are an invaluable support for our professional activity. 

Anyone who carries out, or intends to carry out, an activity or action of whatever nature shall undertake protective measures, follow restrictions and undertake such precautions in general to prevent or counteract that the activity or action in question results in damage or inconvenience with respect to human health or environment. With the same aim, any professional activity shall use the best available technique. These precautionary measures must be undertaken as soon as there is reason to believe that an activity or measure can cause harm or inconvenience with respect to human health or to the environment.

So far in this book I have mainly described my scientific work and matters relating to my professional activity. But this work, by its very nature, had repercussions on my own life and personality, not least because it brought me into contact with interesting and important contemporaries. I have already mentioned some of them-Timothy Leary, Rudolf Gelpke, Gordon Wasson. Now, in... 

Engineers shall accept personal responsibility for their professional activities, provided, however, that engineers may seek indemnification for services arising out of their practice for other than gross negligence, where the engineer s interests cannot otherwise be protected. 

In 1960, the Mayers moved to the University of California at San Diego, where both could finally hold full professorships, his in chemistry and hers in physics. But shortly after arrival, Maria suffered a stroke and was troubled thereafter by poor health, succumbing finally (after a prolonged coma) in 1972. While continuing collaborative theoretical chemistry studies, Joseph Mayer helped to build the newly formed UCSD chemistry faculty to national prominence. He retired and remarried, then accepted a term of presidency of the American Physical Society (1973) and continued other professional activities until his death in 1983. 

This work would not have been possible without the support, financial and moral, of these efforts by the National Science Foundation. That so many of the coauthors in my references are now independently professionally active in research attests to the excitement of these research endeavors. 

The American Nuclear Society (ANS) is a nonprofit organization unifying professional activities within the nuclear science and technology fields. ANS seeks to promote the awareness and understanding of the application of nuclear science and technology.

Stanley E. Manahan is a professor of chemistry at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he has been on the faculty since 1965, and is president of ChemChar Research, Inc., a firm developing nonincinerative thermochemical waste treatment processes. He received his A.B. in chemistry from Emporia State University in 1960 and his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Kansas in 1965. Since 1968, his primary research and professional activities have been in environmental chemistry, toxicological chemistry, and waste treatment. He teaches courses on environmental chemistry, hazardous wastes, toxicological chemistry, and analytical chemistry. He has lectured on these topics throughout the United States as an American Chemical Society local section tour speaker, in Puerto Rico, at Hokkaido University in Japan, at the National Autonomous University in Mexico City, and at the University of the Andes in Merida, Venezuela. He was the recipient of the Year 2000 Award of the environmental chemistry division of the Italian Chemical Society. 

Epistolario, ed. F. Novati (Rome, 1891), 4 183-84 on the original meaning of hu-manista see P. Grendler, The Concept of Humanist in Cinquecento Italy, in A. Molho and. Tedeschi, Renaissance Studies in Honor of Hans Baron (Dekalb, 1971), 447-63 the view that the term humanist did not denote merely a professional activity or a certain educational background but an outlook was first advanced by E. Garin, e.g., in Italian Humanism, Philosophy and Civic Life in the Renaissance (Oxford, 1965), 1-17.
