Science benefits

Petrus (Peter) Josephus Wilhelmus Debye (1884-1966). .. was a Dutch physicist and physical chemist, who worked in the fields of quantum physics, X-ray analysis, microwave spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. Colloid science benefits from his contribution to X-ray and light scattering (in particular for aggregates— Eq. (4.39)— and concentrated suspensions—Eq. (2.24)), his work on electrolyte solutions (Debye-Hiickel theory), as well as his remarks to electrophoresis and his research on polymers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1936 for his work on molecular structure through his investigations on dipole moments and the diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases . 

Despite the considerable computational effort required by CC methods, even at a low truncation level as EOM-CCSD, the results shown in Section 3 indicate that the effort is certainly worth it. Research in areas of energy and material science, as well as atmospheric science, benefits from predictions obtained from theoretical calculations. Often, in fact, new chromophores can be studied before they are synthetized in the lab, or unknown compounds can be screened according to their photochemical characteristics. In order to do that, however, reliable theoretical paradigms are necessary, which provide a consistent level of accuracy across a variety of different chromophoric moieties. Although DFT still provides the best compromise between cost and accuracy, the examples...

I am pleased to acknowledge that the simulation results presented in this chapter were obtained from calculations carried out in collaboration with Kechuan Tu, Mike Klein, and Kent Blasie. The calculations and fitting of the neutron scattering spectra benefited from discussions with Mounir Tarek. Financial support was provided by the School of Physical Sciences at the University of California at Irvine and a grant from the donors of The Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society (ACS-PRF 33247-G7). 

The last three decades have seen the development of a new science to help us better understand the risk of events about which there is often very little information. The reason there is interest in such a science is that there are a great many societal benefits from activities that involve risk risk that if properly managed through better understanding can greatly benefit the quality of all life on the planet earth, both plant and animal. That science is quantitative risk assessment, also known by such names as probabilistic risk assessment and probabilistic salety assessment, the latter being the preferred name for this text. Probabilistic safety assessment divides the risk question into three questions "What can go wrong " "How likely is it " and "What are the consequences "... 

William Rankme has been credited with many things derived from his brilliant career, with perhaps the most unique being the transition of his empirical work into scientific theories published for the benefit of engineering students. He is considered the author of the modern philosophy of the steam engine and also the greatest among all founders of and contributors to the science of thermodynamics. 

There is no chemistry course given today that is not influenced by the ideas of Linus C. Pauling. He is a man of broad imagination, dramatic personality, and boundless inspiration. Mankind will long benefit because he chose to explore the frontiers of science. 

The rights, safety, and well-being of the trial subjects should prevail over the interests of science or society Prior assessment should indicate that the anticipated benefits would outweigh any foreseeable risks or inconveniences The medical care given to, and medical decisions made on behalf of subjects should always be the responsibility of qualified medical personnel... 

The latter part of the 20th century has seen remarkable advances in science and technology. Accomplishments in biochemistry and medicine, computer technology, and telecommunications have benefited nearly everyone on Earth to one degree or another. Along with these advances that have improved our quality of life, scientific research into the study of the Earth has revealed a planetary system that is more complex and dynamic than anyone would have imagined even 50 years ago. The Earth and the environment have become one of society s greatest concerns, perhaps as the result of these discoveries combined with the quick dissemination of information that is now possible with modem telecommunications. 

In the electronics industry, a large number of relatively small firms play a key role in generating new process concepts and equipment. These firms face important research problems in fundamental science and engineering that would benefit markedly from the insights of academic chemical engineering researchers. Academic researchers should seek out and forge links to these small firms that stand at the crucial step between laboratory research and production processes. Potential mechanisms for accomplishing this are described in Chapter 10.

The author has benefited greatly from discussions with Professors Karl Freeman, Evert Nieboer and Stephanie Atkinson on biochemistry and nntri-tion. Boaz Luz clarified my ideas about carbon isotope fractionation in blood. Research was supported by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The author thanks Shannon Coyston, Lori Wright, Chris White and Stanley Ambrose for useful comments and discussions.
