Young Poland

Dillon, Young, and Lucas (5) described a method for determining dibromobutanes in 99% methanol. Dillon ( ) expanded this work to include a procedure for determining ethylene dibromide. Brenner and Poland (1) described a procedure in which they determined 1.000 mg. of ethylene dibromide with a recovery of 65.8%. Equations 1 and 2 show the main reactions that occur.

Marie Sklodowska Curie, one of the truly monumental figures of modem science, was born in Warsaw, Poland, on November 7, 1867. Marie developed an early interest in chemistry, and it is interesting that Dmitri Mendeleev, creator of the periodic table and friend of Marie s father (a high school mathematics and physics teacher), predicted great success for the young woman when he met her in Warsaw. 

In the only large study ever done to assess risk factors for stroke in young people (age 20-49) over a 1 -yr period (in Poland, a country where ephedra based products are widely used), nearly half the stroke cases were associated with preexisting hypertension, another 15% had hyperlipidemia, and 6% were diabetic (Jovanovic, 1996). None of the individuals were ephedrine users.

Three fields in Marie s education were important to her PoKsh Kterature, poetry and prose the political liberation of Poland and - due to her father s influence - science. At this time Poland s independence was lost. Russia had captured Warsaw in 1831, Poland s constitution was aboHshed, and Polish independence was ended for more than a century. AH teaching was fulfilled in the Russian language, and Polish was not allowed. About 1885, when Marie and her young Polish comrades were 15-20 years of age, the situation for education and liberation was bad, especially for young women.
