The Founding Father

A number of cacodyl derivatives were subsequently discovered, notably various cacodylates used in the first half of the twentieth century as tonics and fortifying medicines for conditions associated with a lowering of hemoglobin levels (tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis, malaria, etc.) [28]. 

Salvarsan rapidly became the drug of choice for the treatment of syphilis, whose ravages at that time may be compared to those of AIDS today. Salvarsan itself is not easily soluble in water and its hydrochloride form proved too toxic for medical use. Salvarsan was therefore dissolved in a basic solution and administered in that form [34]. Some time later, NeoSalvarsan (No. 914 neoarsphenamine 3), a water-soluble derivative, resolved this difficulty [34]. However, both Salvarsan and NeoSalvarsan oxidize in air, and must be stored in sealed ampoules under a nitrogen atmosphere.

About the time that Ostwald moved to Leipzig, he established contact with two scientists who are regarded today as the other founding fathers of physical chemistry a Dutchman, Jacobus van t Hoff (1852-1911) and a Swede, Svante Arrhenius (1859 1927). Some historians would include Robert Bunsen (1811-1899) among the founding fathers, but he was really concerned with experimental techniques, not with chemical theory. 

To emphasize that the initiative came from the scientists and technical experts themselves and from those with a direct interest in furthering international collaboration, the founding fathers of COST opted for a flexible and pragmatic approach. CO.ST activities have in the past paved the way for community activities, and its flexibility allows COST actions to be used as a testing and exploratory field for emerging topics. 

One of the founding fathers of prebiotic chemistry, Stanley Miller, took up this question. The PNA polymer consists of ethylenediamine monoacetic acid (EDMA) units, which can also be called A-(2-ami noclhyl )-gl yci nc (AEG). 

Despite the court s role in interpreting the Constitution, the document itself does not grant this authority to the court. However, it is clear that several of the founding fathers expected the Court to act in (H) this way. Alexander Hamilton and James Madison argued for the importance of judicial review in the Federalist Papers, a series of 85 political essays that urged the adoption of the Constitution. Hamilton... 

The founding father of China, Sun Yat-sen, once stated that China had been subjected to semicolonial treatment and continued oppression by Britain and other European powers for many years. Under such circumstances—and with the outbreak of revolutionary... 

In summary, SYSCO was founded upon values that include integrity, reliability, autonomy, quality, and entrepreneurship, which have been the essence of its culture through the company s history. The autonomous, entrepreneurial, decentralized culture with performance-based reward systems has been one of the keys that has made the company successful and was an integral part of the founding fathers vision. 

As a result, the manufacturing equipment and methods used by the industry would have been familiar to the founding fathers of the industry - it has been said that we are still using the same pots and pans that were used in the nineteenth century.

More than anyone else, the Swiss-Norwegian chemist Victor Moritz Goldschmidt revolutionized geochemistry and is today recognized not only as the founding father of modern geochemistry but also as a pioneer of cosmochemistry. [52] Goldschmidt... 

In a very direct sense, the Founding Fathers of the United States fought the American Revolution against the British Crown s opium policy. 

East India Company intelligence operative Adam Smith s Wealth of Nations spelled out the colonial looting policy against which the Founding Fathers rebelled. In that same document — as part of the same scheme to defend the Empire — Smith advocated a massive increase of East India Company opium exporting into China. (2)... 

This is probably the greatest of Darwin s ideas, and almost a century later, in 1949, one of the founding fathers of bioethics, Aldo Leopold, underlined its enormous value with this comment ...

For no particular reason, the founding fathers of statistics decided to declare results significant if the associated P value was less than 5 per cent (0.05). At this point you might feel we have a problem - we now seem to have two criteria of significance ... 

Majorcan scholar — he was the father of cybernetics — and alchemist. One of the founding fathers of Spanish literature, he was unlikely to have written most of the numerous alchemical tracts attributed to him. 

After more than one 100 years of unquestionable successes [128], there is a general agreement that quantum mechanics affords a reliable description of the physical world. The phenomenon of quantum jumps, which can be experimentally detected, should force the physicists to extend this theory so as to turn the wave-function collapse assumption, made by the founding fathers of quantum mechanics, into a dynamical process, probably corresponding to an extremely weak random fluctuation. This dynamical process can be neglected in the absence of the enhancement effects, triggered either by the deliberate measurement act or by the fluctuation-dissipation phenomena such as Brownian motion. This enhancement process must remain within the limits of ordinary statistical physics. In this limiting case, the new theory must become identical to quantum mechanics. 

With completion of this, my final, volume, I am reminded of my blessings to live in a country conceived by the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Nothing would have been possible for me without the selflessness and devotion of Howard Milton Boyd, Ph.G., B.S., M.S. Nothing would have been worthwhile without the following ... 

The LIFE article presented pictures and short descriptions of undergraduate and graduate students as well as the founding fathers and some of the great scientists at Caltech. Like Emory, Caltech was all male and operated on the honor system. Teachers handed out examinations and left the room students were honor botmd not to cheat and were honor bound to report any cheating that they observed.
