Public Characters

Anon, Mr. James Watt , in Public Characters of1802-1803 (London Richard Phillips, 1803), pp. 526-43, esp.p. 535. 

Anon, Matthew Boulton , in Public Characters of1800-1801, pp. 1-9, p. 3. The reference to the leviathan draws on the Book of Job 42 1-2, concerning the relations of man... 

This conference had been watched with keen interest, and was open to the informafion media with considering the public character of this conference, and unexpected number of information media came to get good hope in the future of humankind. 

The requirements of the Alkali Acts of 1863 and 1874 (which implied the monitoring and control of gas emissions) are the most sharply focused of possible reasons for the employment of trained men. The public officials responsible for the implementation of the Acts, the Alkali Inspectors, in their reports, related the growth of laboratories to the Acts, though they did not claim that the laboratories establishment was simply a consequence of the Acts existence.While this offers a kind of explanation, it might be asked, how did it come about that the legal framework was predicated on the categories of analytical chemistry The public character of science will probably form part of any answer, but Sarah Wilmot s paper in this volume, with its emphasis on manufacturers and academics interest... 

A well-known example of non-prototropic tautomerism is that of azolides (acylotropy). The acyl group migrates between the different heteroatoms and the most stable isomer (annular or functional) is obtained after equilibration. In indazoles both isomers are formed, but 2-acyl derivatives readily isomerize to the 1-substituted isomer. The first order kinetics of this isomerization have been studied by NMR spectroscopy (74TL4421). The same publication described an experiment (Scheme 8) that demonstrated the intermolecular character of the process, which has been called a dissociation-recombination process. 

There are numerous examples and instances of pollution in the marine environment and a comprehensive coverage would be beyond the scope of a single article. Only a few case studies are presented here. They are global in character and represent examples where public and scientihc concern has been sufficient to provoke strategies to mitigate and/or prevent such pollution. 

The baking industry feels that it needs residual sprays of the character of chlordan and DDT. It has no fear of contamination of the finished product, for there is far less danger from contamination here than there has been in the past from such poisons as sodium fluoride powders, which were used for many years without adverse publicity, despite infrequent food poisonings from their use.
