  • Tailor-Made Polyoxypropylene Polyols for High Performance Polymer Products
    Tailor-Made Polyoxypropylene Polyols for High Performance Polymer Products Dr. R. A. Livigni Retired VP Corporate Technology GenCorp The present commercially preferred chemistry using a zinc hexacyanocobaltate complex catalyst to produce polyoxypropylene polyols will be described in detail. Control of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and functionality will be explained. Ramifications that these parameters have on the performance of products derived using these polyols will be mentioned. Some consideration will be given regarding future structures possible with this novel chemistry. Biography: Dr. Russell A. Livigni is a Native Akronite. He graduated from Kenmore High School where he received the Bausch & Lomb Honorary Science Award.

  • Inspiring Excellence the Investiture of President Renu Khator November 7, 2008
    Inspiring Excellence The Investiture of President Renu Khator November 7, 2008 Lawrence H. Curry, Jr. Professor Emeritus of History Good afternoon. I’m Lawrence Curry, Professor Emeritus of History and one of two grand marshals for today’s investiture ceremony. It is my honor to welcome all of the distinguished guests to the University of Houston and to the ceremony. We began our program with a processional led my fellow grand marshal, Elizabeth Brown-Guillory. She will be followed by a parade of flags carried by University of Houston students. The flags of these 137 nations represent the home countries of our diverse student body. They, in turn, will be followed by delegates from institutions of higher learning and learned societies, consuls general based in Houston, faculty, deans and administrators from the University of Houston, faculty and administration representatives from our sister UH System universities and finally, members of the platform party. For now, please remain seated. I will ask you to stand later. So let the processional begin. Now will you all please stand to greet President Khator and the other members of the platform party. Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. As the flags are retired, I draw your attention to the screen that will soon descend behind me. The brief video presentation you will see was originally prepared for a special scholarship event at the original date for the investiture. We’re showing it now to launch this historic day and to celebrate and honor our students and our donors who so generously provide money for our scholarships.
