Stille, John

The individual, e.g. John, is recognizable, he has- characters, but these characters do not define them if he shaves his beard, he is still John if by accident he looses his leg, he is still John, etc. [Pg.94]

J. K. Stille, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., NY, 1962, Introduction to Polymer Chemistry. [Pg.258]

Further east another natural resin, lac, had already been used for at least a thousand years before Pliny was bom. Lac is mentioned in early Vedic writings and also in the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayona. In 1596 John Huyglen von Linschoeten undertook a scientific mission to India at the instance of the King of Portugal. In his report he describes the process of covering objects with shellac, now known as Indian turnery and still practised ... [Pg.2]

The Shockley involved in this symposium was ihe same William Shockley who had participated in the invention of the transistor in 1947. Soon after that momentous event, he became very frustrated at Bell Laboratories (and virtually broke with his coinventors, Walter Brattain and John Bardeen), as depicted in detail in a rivetting history of the transistor (Riordan and Hoddeson 1997). For some years, while still working at Bell Laboratories, he became closely involved with dislocation geometry, clearly as a means of escaping from his career frustrations, before eventually turning fulltime to transistor manufacture. [Pg.114]

At this time, the petroleum industry was still a small scale affair and largely decentralized production, transportation, refining, and distribution of refined products were undertaken by separate companies. Periods of overcapacity caused price declines that cut deep into the profits of producers. In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, John D. Rockefeller imposed order on the industry by building a fully integrated corporation The Standard Oil T rust. [Pg.945]

This success of the atomic theory is not surprising to a historian of science. The atomic theory was first deduced from the laws of chemical composition. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, an English scientist named John Dalton wondered why chemical compounds display such simple weight relations. He proposed that perhaps each element consists of discrete particles and perhaps each compound is composed of molecules that can be formed only by a unique combination of these particles. Suddenly many facts of chemistry became understandable in terms of this proposal. The continued success of the atomic theory in correlating a multitude of new observations accounts for its survival. Today, many other types of evidence can be cited to support the atomic postulate, but the laws of chemical composition still provide the cornerstone for our belief in this theory of the structure of matter. [Pg.236]

Additionally, the lEE professional development function is exploring the possibility for Chartered Engineers in the regions to take on mentees who lack company support. There are still some reservations about ethical issues in these relationships - for example, mentors who might work for competitors of the mentee s company. This new lEE Mentoring Network will offer candidates an opportunity to find a trained mentor who is outside their immediate work place. The network is supported by the lEE Professional Development Section -principally Tony Johns (lEE Mentoring Executive Officer). A retired Chartered Engineer with many years experience as a traditional lEE mentor, Johns role is to ... [Pg.99]

John D. Corbett once said There are many wonders still to be discovered [4]. This certainly holds generally for all the different areas and niches of early transition cluster chemistry and especially for the mixed-hahde systems. The results reported above so far cover a very Hmited selection of only chloride/iodide systems and basically boron as the interstitial. Because of the very sensitive dependence of the stable stracture built in the soHd-state reaction type on parameters like optimal bonding electron counts, number of cations present, size and type of cations (bonding requirements for the cations), metal/halide ratio, and type of halide, a much larger mixed-hahde cluster chemistry can be expected. Further developments, also in mixed-hahde systems, can be expected by using solution chemistry of molecular clusters, excised from solid-state precursors. [Pg.77]

While the activity and the structural specificity of the xenognosins were very encouraging, Astragalus gummifer is native to the Middle East and would not be expected to have co-evolved as a host for the southeastern U.S. native, Agalinis purpurea. The questions of whether molecules of this type were actually exuded from host roots in sufficient quantities to constitute host selection still remained. For that reason, John Steffens switched his attention to Lespedeza... [Pg.64]

So you are to be married to John Grey, then said Margaret, before I could decide how to answer Mai, for I did not understand what I felt about the matter, still less what I was prepared to say. Ooo, Ysa What will it be like to be bedded by him Will you like it ... [Pg.17]

I boxed John s ears. Take her off now, you bad boy And never do that again He d grown too, but he was still too short to reach Igraine with the fire burning even a little. I looked round, and saw a branch they hadn t put on. Margaret, hold my gown. ... [Pg.21]

Two years married, and I was still barren. I could not understand why it should be so. John took me whenever he was at home, and with a little advice from Mai, I had learned to please him, and to be pleasured by him in my turn, for to do so, she said, would help a baby to come. Besides, she said, it was hard enough to be a woman, and no need to stint such pleasures as I could find. Such matters were privy to us, or as privy as the lives of the master and mistress of a manor can ever be. But with my belly thin and my breasts dry I was still a poor wife in the eyes of the world, and at each of her many visits to us at Astley, Lady Ferrars looked more sour and was secretly more pleased, for if I had no child the Astley lands would revert to her estate. [Pg.69]

When John told his mother that I was with child, she had perforce to give us joy, but the sourness lingered in her voice. I got little help from her in the first, sickly weeks, but Mai said that the sickness heralded a boy, and this hope strengthened me to ignore her. By the fourth month I was in better health, and all still seemed to be well. [Pg.70]

I sleep better, these days, than I have for many a year, but still, as all my life, I wake early. This morning, Saint John s Day, that was the eve of my brother Antony s death not so many years since, I stood watching the sun rise over the Thames, and listening to the last notes of Matins from the chapel across the Abbey garden. When the sun had risen in glory, I turned away. [Pg.390]

Center to attend scientific sessions. Nearly everyone watched with awe as the tall elderly gentleman in a blue suit entered the symposium room, still curious about developments in a field that he had helped to found 70 years before. A year later, my wife and I visited him in his Cambridge apartment. As we entered, we found John at his desk reading a book on philosophy in French. He was then, as ever, after the truth. [Pg.23]
