Russia professional

While still a student at the Academy, Ipatieffbegan to make a name for himself in the Russian chemical community as he began to publish some of his laboratory findings. His first professional milestone as a chemist came in 18h() when he joined Russia s Physical-Chemical Society. Here he came into close contact with Russia s most famous chemists, including Dimitri Mendeleev, discoverer of the periodic table and one of the founders ol the Society. In 1891, upon graduating from the school, he was appointed lecturer in chemistry at the Academy where he also continued to undertake original chemical research for his doctoral dissertation. In 1895, he was made assistant professor and, upon completion and acceptance of his dissertation in 1899, he became a full professor of chemistry. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, with whom I have had the pleasure to work. I would like to extend my gratitude to the brilliant professionals at the Institute of Chemistry at the Kola Science Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Apatity, Russia), Institute of Common and Inorganic Chemistry of the Ukraine Academy of Science (Kiev, Ukraine), Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry (Moscow, Russia), Institute of Chemistry of Nitrogen (Moscow, Russia), Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa, Israel), Chemistry of Solids Laboratory of CNRS (Bordeaux, France), Tan Ceramics Ltd. (Migdal Haemek, Israel). 

Personal pride. In the face of an economic crisis, scientists and other key staff in a facility may believe that they and their families deserve better. This incentive is of particular relevance to Russia s NBC weapons scientists and other specialists, who came to regard themselves as the vanguard of defense of the Soviet state. If these staff people view their situations as being insulting or beneath them socially or professionally, personal pride may drive them to seek affirmation of their importance elsewhere. 

The chapters of the Handbook are written by leading experts in solid-state electrochemistry from Australia, China, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Korea, Portugal, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. Sadly, one of the authors of Chapter 3, Professor Alexander N. Petrov, died during the finalization stages of the Handbook. His professionalism and love of science will be well remembered by all of his colleagues, and the intellectual contributions made by Professor Petrov will continue to live on in the form of the inspiration that he has provided to his students, coworkers and, hopefully, the readers of this book.

The synergistic application of U.S. and Russian expertise and resources to maximize the safety of nuclear material processes will serve to ensure the successful disposition of excess weapons grade nuclear material in both countries. Collaborative efforts to date have established productive professional relationships between U.S. and Russian nuclear process safety specialists. Valuable experience has been gained that can be applied in the formulation of a successful program structure. A formal U.S.-Russia cooperative program will serve to ensure the safety and continuity of disposition processes and reduce the nuclear proliferation risks presented by this material. 

The second generation of supply chain professionals acted as the boots on the ground for the expansion of supply chain practices into BRIG (the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China) countries. They were the implementers of global processes and systems to penetrate new markets. They were the builders of supply chain organizations in new countries.
