Stephens formalism

The second chapter ends with two overviews by Stephens Devlin and by Hug on the theoretical and the physical aspects of two vibrational optical activity spectroscopies (VCD and VROA, respectively). In both overviews the emphasis is more on their basic formalism and the gas-phase quantum chemical calculations than on the analysis of solvent effects. For these spectroscopies, in fact, both the formulation of continuum solvation models and their applications to realistic solvated systems are still in their infancy.

Leopold Stephen Ruzicka (1887-1976) was bom in Vukovar, Croatia. Though few in his family had much formal schooling, he nonetheless decided to study chemistry and ultimately received his Ph.D. in 1910 at the University of Karlsruhe with Hermann Staudinger. He followed Staudinger to the Swiss Federal Institute (E.T.H.) in Zurich and later became professor there (1929-1957). He was the first to show that rings of more than eight carbons are possible, and he opened up the entire field of ter-pene chemistry. With Adolf Butanandt of Germany he received the 1939 Nobel Prize in chemistry. 

For an excellent critique of the notion that records of manumission or interracial transfers of wealth constitute evidence of romantic ruptures in the racist fabric of southern enslavement, see Davis (1999). She demonstrates that, far from effecting the sort of subversion romantically projected onto them today, such exceptional cases, as they actually unfolded, were fully consonant with the sexual economy of the antebellum south (268). More to the point, she cautions that relying on records [as do Stephens and Kennedy] to attribute affection may yield distorted histories as the legal records and many of the other formal documents were recorded by the slaveholding class (230). 

One of my students in these first classes was a fellow Hungarian, Stephen Brunauer. He worked in a place that was unofficially called "the fixed-nitrogen lab," more formally named the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils.

Archie Brown, defines political culture as that part of culture which bears relevance to poUtics he excludes formal institutions and behavior patterns from the scope of culture. Brown, A. Conclusions, in A. Brown (ed.) Political Culture ami Communist Studies (London, The MacMillan Press Ltd., 1984), p. 155. According to Stephen White, political culture is the attitudineil behavioural matrix within which the political system is located. (Brown, Political Culture and Communist Studies, p. 6) I exclude both political institutions and an unqualified idea of behavior from the notion of poUtical culture. 

The alternative pillow test was originated by Tom Stephens of Ten Cate in about 2005 (Ten Cate Geosynthetics, Inc., 2007) and formalized as a standard in 2009 (GRTGT15). The only related references in the open literature are the work of Professor Bhatia and her students at Syracuse University, who developed and conducted research on a similar test which they called the pressure filtration test (Bhatia and Liao, 2004 Satyamurthy et al., 2008, 2009). Hydraulic pressures were measured and quantitative data were produced but the laboratory configuration was different from the field-simulated pillow test, which is described subsequently.
