Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1960 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. JOHN ULRIC NEF' June 14,1862-August 13,1915 BY MELVILLE L. WOLFROM OHN ULRIC NEF was a great pioneer in American chemistry. It was J he, along with Arthur Michael and Ira Remsen, who was mainly responsible for the transfer to the universities of the United States of the tenets of the actively growing science of organic chemistry from the laboratories of the great European universities of the time. Nef was a pioneer in theoretical organic chemistry, a great experimental- ist, and an inspiring trainer of men. His advanced students, the Ph.D. trainees, went into positions in the American universities, and espe- cially in the Middle West, determined to carry on the tradition of research. In the words of one: "We were determined to keep some research going if it were only to boil water." This establishment of chemical research in the American universities was carried out under the most difficult of conditions and with little support or understand- ing on the part of the administrators of these growing institutions, who mainly considered the science departments, in the liberal arts colleges, as units which cost a lot of money and produced results of doubtful cultural value.

Accepted 12 July, 2012 On the Turin Shroud (TS) is depicted a faint double image of a naked man who has suffered a violent death. The image seems to be that of a real human body. Additionally, red stains of different size, form and density are spread all over the body image and in a few instances outside the body. Forensic examination by help of different analyzing tools reveals these stains as human blood. The distribution and flow of the blood, the position of the body are compatible with the fact that the Turin Shroud Man (TSM) has been crucified. This paper analyses the already known essential forensic findings supplied by new findings and experiments by the authors. Compared to the rather minute gospel description of the Passion of the Christ, then, from a forensic point of view, no findings speak against the hypothesis that the TS once has enveloped the body of the historical Jesus. Key words: Blood chemistry, crucifixion, forensic studies, Turin Shroud. INTRODUCTION The interest of the forensic examiners for the Turin Edwards et al.,1986; Zugibe, 2005).

    A Critical Summary of Observations, Data and Hypotheses

    TThhee SShhrroouudd ooff TTuurriinn A Critical Summary of Observations, Data and Hypotheses If the truth were a mere mathematical formula, in some sense it would impose itself by its own power. But if Truth is Love, it calls for faith, for the ‘yes’ of our hearts. Pope Benedict XVI Version 4.0 Copyright 2017, Turin Shroud Center of Colorado Preface The purpose of the Critical Summary is to provide a synthesis of the Turin Shroud Center of Colorado (TSC) thinking about the Shroud of Turin and to make that synthesis available to the serious inquirer. Our evaluation of scientific, medical forensic and historical hypotheses presented here is based on TSC’s tens of thousands of hours of internal research, the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) data, and other published research. The Critical Summary synthesis is not itself intended to present new research findings. With the exception of our comments all information presented has been published elsewhere, and we have endeavored to provide references for all included data. We wish to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of several persons and organizations. First, we would like to acknowledge Dan Spicer, PhD in Physics, and Dave Fornof for their contributions in the construction of Version 1.0 of the Critical Summary. We are grateful to Mary Ann Siefker and Mary Snapp for proofreading efforts. The efforts of Shroud historian Jack Markwardt in reviewing and providing valuable comments for the Version 4.0 History Section are deeply appreciated. We also are very grateful to Barrie Schwortz (Shroud.com) and the STERA organization for their permission to include photographs from their database of STURP photographs.
