Wells: Herbert

Herbert and Hay reported a bisphenolic monomer, 3,8-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-A-phenyl-1,2-naphthalimide (Table 6.1), as well as its corresponding polyf V-phenyl imido aryl ether sulfone) via transimidization reactions with hydrazine monohydrate, aliphatic amines, and an amino acid.193 These polysulfones with... 

Herbert Morawetz, whom Mark hired at Brooklyn Poly in 1951, says that he believes that Mark is incapable of negative emotion, "or at least they are buried beyond retrieval". As an example, it is well known that Hermann Staudinger disliked Mark as a result of the events about the establishment of the macro-molecular concept. His dislike bordered on open contempt, but Mark steadfastly refused to openly criticize Staudinger. In... 

Herbert H. Dow founded the Dow Chemical Company in 1897 as a chloralkali company. He found that there were extensive brine wells near Midland, Michigan, and started a small company there to produce bromine, chlorine, and caustic soda (NaOH) there. 

As Stanton Linden has shown, these once standard topoi specifically explain some presently obscure alchemical imagery underlying a well-known poem, Vanitie (I), composed by George Herbert (1593-1633) ... 

During World War II, the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico conducted a highly secret and successful operation to build the world s first atomic bomb. The bomb ended the war, and politicians as well as scientists began to appreciate the benefits of establishing scientific laboratories and conducting research. The national laboratory at Los Alamos continued its work on atomic physics and other projects after the war, and in the early 1950s, the physicists Ernest Lawrence (1901-58) at the University of California, Berkeley, and Edward Teller (1908-2003), then at Los Alamos, urged the establishment of another laboratory. Under the supervision of the University of California, a new national laboratory was set up in Livermore, California, in 1952, with Herbert York (1921-2009), a former student of Lawrence, as its first director. 

DuPont, presented at the beginning of this chapter, and Dow are the largest chemical companies in the United States. Dow Chemical Company was started by Herbert Henry Dow (1866-1930) in Canton, Ohio. Dow was a student at Case Institute in Cleveland who studied the characteristics of salt brines acquired from wells around the Great Lakes. Dow was determined to discover methods to extract chemicals from the salt brine. Rather than use the standard distillation method of his day to obtain chemicals, Dow employed electrolysis to separate... 

Epilepsy is an abnormal condition in which the normal activity of affected brain regions may be enhanced as well as impaired, and so constitutes an experiment of nature that is the opposite of stroke. Ever since temporal lobe epilepsy came under experimental scrutiny - at the hands of the Montreal neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield and his neurophysiologist colleague Herbert Jasper - it was known that direct electrical stimulation of the human temporal lobe could produce dreamy states not unlike those associated with spontaneous seizures. 

Finally, I wish to thank those members of Inorganic Syntheses, Inc., who read the original manuscripts and gave me much valuable advice and help. I am especially indebted to Professors Eugene C. Ashby and Herbert D. Kaesz who contacted prospective authors for the syntheses of main group hydrides and transition metal hydrides, respectively. I also wish to thank Warren H. Powell and Mr. Thomas E. Sloan for their invaluable assistance in nomenclature matters and in the copy-editing of the manuscripts as well as Professor W. Conard Fernelius for his meticulous reading of proof for the entire volume. 

When H. P. Blavatsky s The Secret Doctrine was published in March 1889 Stead gave it to Annie Besant to review. He knew about her recent interest in Spiritualism and potentially occultism, although at this time she cannot have known much about the latter. Stead had met Madame Blavatsky but did not know her well. Fascinated by H.P.B. s vast compendium of occult lore, Mrs Besant asked Stead for an introduction to her. When she first visited 17 Lansdowne Road in March 1889 she was accompanied by her younger friend Herbert Burrows. During the previous decade he had been prominent in a wide spectrum of radical groups (e.g., H. M. Hyndeman s pronouncedly Marxist Democratic Federation and the Fabian Society) and had recently helped Annie Besant to form a trade union for the underpaid girls who made matches. Both joined the Theosophical Society in May 1889. 

There were fire-resistant [bodies] as well as such that caught fire easily. The trick was to use the good ones to bum the bad. According to his [Herbert Floss s] research - which evidently had been far advanced - old bodies burned better than new ones, fat ones better than skinny ones, women better than men, and children not as well as women but better than men. From this it followed that old corpses of fat women were the ideal kind."101... 

About Germar Rudolf see Wilhelm Schlesiger, DerFall Rudolf, Cromwell Press, London 1994 Herbert Verbeke (ed.), Kardinalfragen zur Zeitgeschichte, Vrij Historisch Onderzoek, Berchem 1996. Naturally, the need to distinguish carefully between facts and the subjective opinion of the author(s) applies in this case as well. 

Both vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies are associated with psychiatric illness. Folate deficiency is most commonly associated with depression, whereas cognitive impairment and dementia are seen in about 25% of patients with either deficiency (Bottiglieri, 1996 Green and Miller, 1999). Herbert (1962) noted insomnia, forgetfulness, and irritability during the development of self-imposed folate deficiency which responded well to the administration of the vitamin. 

The formation of ergot alkaloids from L-tryptophan is well-known (Herbert, 1989 Groeger and Floss, 1998 Markert et al., 2008). L-Tryptophan condenses with dimethylallylpyrophosphate (DMAPP) to give y,y-dimethylallyltryptophan (DMAT), which is modified via chanoclavine 1 to give agroclavine and finally elymoclavine (Fig. 2.14). Lysergic acid maybe formed from this last alkaloid.
