United States chemistry studies

In the first stage of the institutionalization of chemistry in Japan, foreign teachers of chemistry like Robert William Atkinson and Edward Divers taught in Japanese higher educational institutions, educated the first generation of Japanese chemists, and showed the possible direction of Japanese chemistry studies by their own studies in Japan. Their students were then sent to Europe or the United States to study further. The institutionalization was completed with the establishment of the Tokyo Chemical Society in 1878 and the foundation of Imperial University in Tokyo in 1886. The discovery of the periodic law between 1869 and 1871 and its dissemination in the 1880s coincided with the institutionalization of chemistry in Japan. This factor helped make the appreciation of the periodic system as a basis for chemistry in Japan easier. Most of the first generation of Japanese chemistry professors accepted the periodic law as one of the recent developments in chemistry in Europe without much doubt. [Pg.298]

ArthuT Michael (1853—19421 was born to a wealthy family in Buffalo, New York. Although he received no formal university degrees, he studied in Heidelberg, Berlin, and the Ecole de Medecine, Paris. Returning to the United States, he became professor of chemistry at Tufts University (1882—1889. [Pg.894]

Kenneth R, Poeppelmeier was born on October 6th, 1949 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. He studied chemistry at the University of Missouri, Columbia from 1967 to 1971 (B.S. Chemistry). From 1971 to 1974 he was an Instructor in Chemistry at Samoa College in Western Samoa as a United States Peace Corps volunteer. He joined the research group of John Corbett at Iowa State University after leaving the Peace Corps, and received his Ph.D. in 1978. He i. , 1 I then joined the research staff of Ex-... [Pg.375]

Written in his clear and supple prose, his report and the series that followed it inspired a generation of American scientists to study macromolecules. While many European chemists still doubted that polymers could be true molecules, Carl Marvel believed that in the United States, After that article, the mystery of polymer chemistry was pretty well cleared up and it was possible for less talented people to make good contributions in the field. ... [Pg.128]

Shahrokh Saba was born in Tehran, Iran, studied at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, where he obtained his B.S. in 1970. He continued his education at the University of East Anglia and received his Ph.D. in 1974 under the direction of Prof. A. R. Katritzky. During 1975-79, he taught as an assistant professor at Azad University in Tehran. He moved to the United States in 1980, and after postdoctoral fellowships in 1980 (Prof. R. Breslow, Columbia University), 1981 (Prof. W. C. Agosta, Rockefeller University), and 1982-83 (Prof. N. O. Smith, Fordham University), he assumed a teaching position at Kean College of New Jersey in 1984. He returned to Fordham University in 1986 and took up his present position, and is currently an associate professor of chemistry. His scientific interests include all aspects of heterocyclic chemistry, and new uses of simple ammonium salts in organic synthesis. [Pg.198]

Direct and indirect costs are compared public and private costs are estimated at 3.5-4 times those for EPA in 1981. Among the former is loss of innovation. While several studies of this factor have been made for the industry, their reliability is questioned, due in part to lack of sound data prior to 1976. No mention was made of economic trends affecting corporate expenditures for research and development, or of trends in the maturation of industrial chemistry itself. Other indirect costs, such as concentration of manufacture within the industry, may result from costs of compliance, especially for smaller manufacturers. These factors were not compared with extrinsic factors, such as shifts in feedstock supply and commodity manufacture from the United States to other countries. [Pg.232]

In the postwar years a spirit of "chemical boosterism," to use a term coined in a recent historical study, emerged in the United States. A group of chemists, chemical journalists and science popularizers acted as propagandists for the chemical profession and industry. Their message, delivered with conviction to the public through a variety of popular publications, was that chemistry was vital to the national defense and to economic progress. One of the more active of these chemical boosters was Charles Holmes Herty, and his efforts to establish a national institute for drug research must be viewed within this context (11). [Pg.99]

Michael, A. J. Prakt. Chem. 1887, 35, 349. Arthur Michael (1853-1942) was horn in Buffalo, New York. He studied under Robert Bunsen, August Hofmann, Adolphe Wurtz, and Dimitri Mendeleev, but never bothered to take a degree. Back to the United States, Michael became a Professor of Chemistry at Tufts University, where he married one of his most brilliant students, Helen Abbott, one of the few women organic chemists in this period. Since he failed miserably as an administrator, Michael and his wife set up their own private laboratory at Newton Center, Massachusetts, where the Michael addition was discovered. [Pg.383]
