Palladium and platinum are the longest known and most studied of the six platinum metals [1-11], a reflection of their abundance and consequent availability. Platinum occurs naturally as the element, generally with small amounts of the other platinum metals. It was used as a silver substitute by Colombian Indians and first observed there by Ulloa (1736), who called it platina del Pinto ( little silver of the Pinto river ) but the first sample was actually brought to Europe in 1741 by Charles Wood, Assay Master of Jamaica. Palladium was isolated in 1803 by W.H. Wollaston, who was studying the aqua regia-soluble portion of platinum ores (he announced his discovery by an anonymous leaflet advertising its sale through a shop in Soho) and named it after the newly discovered asteroid Pallas [12],...

A significant development in pipeline network computation in the last few years was the introduction of the so-called linearization method first by Wood and Charles (Wll) and later, independently, by Bending and Hutchi-... 

In the development given by Wood and Charles (W11), formulation B was used and the network elements were modeled by Eq. (74). Clearly the only nonlinear terms are those in Eq. (38) introduced by the network element models. By replacing Eq. (74) by the following equation,... 

For formulations A and B, one general procedure is to solve the laminar flow equations which are linear and use the solution as the initial guesses for the nonlinear equations. Variations of this procedure have been used by Bending and Hutchison (B5), Wood and Charles (Wll), and Jeppson and Tavallaee (J2) in conjunction with the linearization method. 

Platinum - the atomic number is 78 and the chemical symbol is Pt. The name derives from the Spanish platina for silver . In 1735, the Spanish mathematician Don Antonio de Ulloa found platinum in Peru, South America. In 1741, the English metallurgist Charles Wood foimd platinum from Columbia, South America. In 1750, the English physician William Brownrigg prepared purified platinum metal. 

Branson (1955) was unable to document that Carver ever published in any scientific peer review journal. However, he did point out that there were African American contemparies of Carver who were making significant and documented contributions to science. A few Alrican Americans (e.g. Ernest E. Just and Charles H. Turner) did conduct research at major laboratories, such as the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. However, they often were confronted by the prevailing racial attitudes of the time. Specifically, Just and his family were subjected to racist incidents in both the scientific and non-scientific communities (Manning, 1983).

Charles Wood, a metallurgist and assayer, found in Jamaica some platinum from Cartagena [Colombia], and in 1741 took some of it to his relative, Dr. Brownrigg, After preparing a thorough and accurate description of the metal and its properties, Dr. Brownrigg in 1750 presented these specimens to the Royal Society of London. The exhibit included the ore as found in Nature, the purified metal, the fused metal, and a sword with a pummel made partly of platinum (2). 

He added that this platina had been presented to him about nine years before by a skilful and inquisitive metallurgist [Mr. Charles Wood] who met with it in Jamaica, whither it had been brought from Carthagena (Colombia). Dr. Brownrigg believed it probable that there is great plenty of this semimetal in the Spanish West Indies, since trinkets made of it are there very common. He mentioned its high melting point and its refractoriness toward borax and other saline fluxes. But the Span-... 

Sir William Watson said that he had seen this substance mentioned by no other author except de Ulloa. On February 13, 1750, Dr. Brown-rigg wrote again to Watson, explaining that the experiments he had mentioned in his previous letter had been made by Mr. Charles Wood,...

Cross, Charles F (1855 1935) British scientist, a pioneer in modern cellulose chemistry his prepn of acetyl benzoyl celluloses (1889-90) was a prelude to the great achievement of his career, the discovery of cellulose Na xanthate (viscose) which Was patented under the names of Cross, Bevan Beadle (1892). Cross E.J. Bevan published "Textbook of Papermaking (1887), "Cellulose, an Outline of the Structural Elements of Plants (1895), Wood Pulp and Its Applications (1911), and numerous other Works on every aspect of cellulose. The pioneer work and the persistent successful efforts of Cross were duly recognized during his life. He was awarded the medal of the Society of Chemical Industry...
