Learned societies

Societies. Learned societies in the Soviet Union also sponsor publications, but these are underwritten and published by the academy, a university, or a ministry. 

OOD HAS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE throughout human history. Even the earliest humans used wood to make shelters and later to cook their food. Wood also provided tools and weapons. Collective society learned very early the great advantages of wood, which we still recognize today its strength, workability, wide distribution, renewability, and aesthetics. 

The case of vitamin B, has a broader context as well. Today, the market of developed countries is flooded with dietary supplements and alleged vitamin products, which do not need to be approved by medical authorities. Many of these products share one characteristic using them is known to result in no health benefits at all, or as in the case of vitamin B,/ , they are outright harmful. When will society learn to tmst its own education system and screen out profiteering charlatans ... 

What can we do in face of the huge amount of information needed and offered on the web How to make a selection, how to improve the searchability and access to information (easy to hnd and usable) How to organize individuals and society learning process How to build a common language ... 

In Japanese society generally, hardship is considered one pathway to mature selfhood. [E]ndurance and perseverance are among the most frequently cited virtues in Japanese society. Learning to stick to a task, no matter how difficult or unpleasant, thus strengthens the kokoro. (Kondo 1990, p. 109)... 

Usually an Internet user learns after a while where to go for specific information The Browser provides a bookmark tlmction where all these addresses can be organized by different subjects Typical bookmark folders are Societies, Companies, Journals, Institutes, Databases, Search engines The NDTnet Journal provides a virtual library that makes it easy for newcomers to find NDT sites. Unfortunately, some sites provide a lot of information but do not offer a search function. 

In the summer of 1963, I learned that I had won the American Chemical Society Award in Petroleum Chemistry for my work on Friedel-Crafts chemistry. It was a most welcome recognition for someone who only a few years earlier had fled his native country and started all over on a far-away continent. Although I have received numerous other awards and recognitions over the years, with the exception of the Nobel Prize, no other award touched me as much. 1 remember that my first ACS award carried with it a check for 5,000. My research director for some reason believed that a company employee was not... 

CAS/STlS[Interna.tiona.1. CAS/STN offers stmcture searchable files such as Registry, Beilstein, MARPAT, CASREACT, and Gmelin a variety of learning files, eg, LRegistry, LBeHstein, LMARPAT, and LCASREACT and software products such as STN Express for on-line stmcture and substmcture searching. Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society, has pubHshed Chemical Abstracts since 1907 and joindy operates STN International with EIZ Kadsmhe and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology. 

By starting now, society will learn through experience to better manage its waste while providing a safer and cleaner environment for future generations.

In December 1998 I was fortunate to be invited to participate in the development of the ISO/TS 16949 certification scheme and later to represent the UK Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) on the lATF Training Council, set up to design the auditor qualification program. I would therefore like to acknowledge Bob Lawrie and Robert Coles of the SMMT for providing the opportunities in which I was able to learn about the lATF and ISO/TS 16949.

The RACI is both the qualifying body in Australia for professional chemists and a learned society promoting the science and practice of chemistiy in all its branches. 

The learned society for chemistiy and professional chemists in the United Kingdom. 

Oersted was named a fellow of several learned societies, presented with medals, and awarded cash prizes. At home, Oersted became Denmark s leading citizen. He continued his research, but as an international figure he traveled extensively, became fluent in many languages, and met with the leading scientists of the time. He gave frequent public lectures and became a director of the Royal Polytechnic Institute of Copenhagen. He also had a lifelong interest in literature and, in 1829, he founded a literary journal to which he frequently contributed articles about sci-... 

Fundamental research in pyrotechnics is published in the US in Combustion and Flame by the Combustion Institute, and in the UK in Combustion Science and Technology and in Fuel . Germany has the new, journal, Propellants and Explosives (German Chemical Society), which is the successor to the discontinued Explosivstoffe . A necessary caveat is that these journals are strongly oriented toward combustion or propulsion so that only rarely do they yield pyrotechnic information. Likewise, the various publications of the learned societies contain much data on thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and instrumental analysis which are useful in the study of pyrotechnics. In the USSR the situation is somewhat better as Physics of Combustion and Explosion (Fizika Gorenia i Vzryva) of the Siberian Branch Academy of Sciences USSR is exclusively oriented toward subjects of interest, as several scientific institutes are primarily devoted to research in pyrotechnics. The same authors do publish also, however, in the journals of the Academy of Science USSR (of which there are several) as well as in the corresponding journals of the academies of the various republics, so that the impression is created of a high level of activity...

The first strategy is to rmdertake a superficial scan of mainstream textbooks that everyday situations have been connected to cormnon school chemistry textbooks. For example, student-exercises may contain informatiorr, about contaminants in a river such as lead salts, about acid-base indicators in plants or about food additives for the preservation of wine. However, implicit confusion may (and frequently will) occur when the textbook and the teacher aim at reaching the right answer, for example the correct calculation of the concentration of an additive in gram per litre or parts per million (ppm). Students may still pose questions such as How many glasses of wine can I drink before 1 will get sick What is the effect of alcohol on my body Why is the addition of sulphite to wine important Is the same fact tme for red wine Or even further Shouldn t the government prohibit the addition of sulphite In this way students can become personally involved in subjects that can be related to their learning of chemical substances, and even to atoms and molecules. But, the student-activities in mainstream school chemistry textbooks often are not focused on this type of involvement they do not put emphasis in the curriculum on personal, socio-scientific and ethical questions that are relevant to students lives and society.
