Substances intended solely for scientific research and development in quantities less than 100 kg per year. Substances placed on the market for process-orientated research and development with a limited number of customers registered with die notifier. The aim of die notification systems is to identify possible risks posed to people and the environment from placing new substances on the market. A notification comprises data on the chemical identity of the substance an estimate of the quantity of the substance to be placed on the EC market details of the functions and uses of the substance Table 14.12 Notification bands ...

In 1950, the National Science Foundation was established to chatmel federal support into basic research. The model for the National Science Foundation grew out of the success of the wartime Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD. Appropriations for the Foundation rose sharply from 225,000 in fiscal year 1951 to 14 million in fiscal year 1955 and to 153 million in fiscal year 1960. In the period 1953-1960, U.S. spending on R D grew from 5.13 billion to 13.55 billion and the federal share of the total climbed from 54 to 65% (Skolnik Reese, 1976). 

Large parts of the work described in this chapter have been done in collaboration with Yasuyuki Ishikawa of the University of Puerto Rico, Bemd Hess of Bonn University, and Pekka Pyykko of Helsinki. Support was provided by the Israel Science Foundation, the Ministry of Science, the U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation and the German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development. 

This research was supported by grants from the Israel Science Foundation founded by the Israeli Academy of Sciences and Humanities—Centers of Excellence Program, the German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development (G.I.F.), the German-Israeli Project Cooperation (DIP), the US-Israel Binational Science Foundation, a TMR grant from the European Community, the Foundation for Promotion of Research in the Tectmion, and a research grant administered by the Vice President of the Technion for Research. 

War broke out in Europe and it was obvious that America would become part of the conflict. The Office of Scientific Research and Development and the National Research and Development Committee were established in late 1941. Various universities furnished the people for these agencies and most university laboratories accepted contracts related to studying problems of interest to the Department of Defense. Adams was important in this effort and so included Speed as a participant.

Dr. Blatt was bom in Cincinnati, Ohio and received B.S., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University in 1923-1926. He held postdoctoral positions at the College de France in Paris, Harvard University, and the University of Buffalo before he joined the faculty at Howard University as an associate professor in 1932. He became a member of the newly-formed Queens College in 1939, where he was a professor, and stayed for 32 years. His academic pursuits were interrupted during World War II when he was a Science Liaison Officer, the London Mission, in the Office of Scientific Research and Development (1944-1945), and a Technical Aide to Division 8 during the latter year.
