  • Bradish Johnson
    BRADISH JOHNSON 1811 – 1892 Stephen Whitney Lindsay 2008 2.0 BRADISH JOHNSON I recently researched a number of my ancestors, using the World Wide Web to wander through archived newspaper stories, genealogical sites, and old digitized books to learn their stories and unravel some mysteries. One branch of the family tree seemed unpromising — it contained names that were not part of the family lore, so I didn’t bother with it. At some point, when I thought that I had found about all I was going to find about my ancestors, I realized that this branch — my great grandmother’s maternal line — might be of interest, so I did a search using the name I had found for her grandfather: Bradish Johnson. Unusual names such as his work well in a web search, since most of the results will be relevant. With a common name like “James Johnson”, the millions of useless links that turn up can be overwhelming. The first thing that my Google search revealed was a beautiful photograph of a mansion in the Garden District of New Orleans — called the “Bradish Johnson House”. The next thing was a bed and breakfast south of New Orleans — an old plantation house that had belonged to Bradish Johnson. Then I found a reference for the Bradish Johnson Building, at Fifth Avenue and Twenty-first Street in Manhattan. Apparently, there was a story here. With a little online sleuthing, I was able to piece some of that story together. In 1795, two sea captains from Nova Scotia, Captain William M. Johnson and Captain George Bradish, purchased a large plot of land on the Mississippi Delta forty miles south of New Orleans.

  • Protein Ligation and Total Synthesis II 1St Edition Free
    FREE PROTEIN LIGATION AND TOTAL SYNTHESIS II 1ST EDITION PDF Lei Liu | 9783319369372 | | | | | Food chemistry - Wikipedia Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions of all biological and non-biological components of foods. It is similar to biochemistry in its main components such as carbohydrateslipidsand proteinbut it also includes areas such as water, vitaminsmineralsenzymesfood additivesflavorsand colors. This discipline also encompasses how products change under certain food processing techniques and ways either to enhance or to prevent them from happening. An example of enhancing a process would be to encourage fermentation of dairy products with microorganisms that convert lactose to lactic acid ; an example of preventing a process would be stopping the browning on the surface of freshly cut apples using lemon juice or other acidulated water. The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. WalleriusHumphry Davyand others. For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition. Earlier work included that by Carl Wilhelm Scheele who isolated malic acid from apples in Some of the findings of Liebig on food chemistry were translated and published by Eben Horsford in Lowell Massachusetts in In the Society of Public Analysts was formed, with the aim of applying analytical methods to the benefit of Protein Ligation and Total Synthesis II 1st edition public.
