Friedrich Bergius – Chemist, Pioneering Researcher and Nobel Prize Laureate
Friedrich Bergius – chemist, pioneering researcher and Nobel Prize laureate Friedrich Bergius (born 1884 in Goldschmieden, Silesia; died 1949 in Buenos Aires) was a chemist and Nobel Prize laureate. He worked for one of the predecessor companies of Evonik from 1914 to 1918, including as a member of the executive board of Th. Goldschmidt AG from 1916 to 1918. In 1931, Friedrich Bergius received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry jointly with Carl Bosch "in recognition of their contributions to the invention and development of chemical high- Friedrich Bergius pressure methods." Thanks to his pioneering basic research, Friedrich Bergius is now considered one of the most important German chemists of the 20th century. His research continues to influence some of the chemicals produced at Evonik to this day. Bergius began his studies of chemistry in Breslau in 1903 and completed his doctoral studies in Leipzig in 1907. Reflecting the influence of Nobel laureate Fritz Haber, his professorial thesis was entitled "Application of high pressure in chemical processes and simulation of the genesis of coal." Written at the dawn of the automotive and aerospace age, Bergius’ work turned out to be prescient. He believed to have found a way to "liquidize" the rich coal deposits in Germany under high pressure to turn them into gasoline. Since Karl Goldschmidt, the chairman of the Th. Goldschmidt AG executive board, shared the conviction that gasoline would dominate the future, he provided Bergius with the means to implement his findings on an industrial scale. In 1913, Bergius therefore came to Essen, where he was appointed the head of research in a new, specially built laboratory and advanced to deputy member of the executive board of Th.

STEINBECK with HIS NOVEL the GRAPES of WRATH: a CRITICAL OUTLOOK Dr
VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL) Vol.5 Issue 4 An International Peer Reviewed Journal 2018 http://www.joell.in RESEARCH ARTICLE STEINBECK WITH HIS NOVEL THE GRAPES OF WRATH: A CRITICAL OUTLOOK Dr. Ch. Anuradha (Senior Lecturer in English, K.B. N. College, Vijayawada.) ABSTRACT Every age has its representative writer, whose career follows its major interests, whose voice is its voice. In him we can see the moods, if not the actual events of his time, most clearly reflected and its strongest drives most forcefully crystallized. The two basic impulses of the 1930s towards escape and toward social consciousness found their sharpest expression in the writing of John Steinbeck, whose work represents more faithfully than any of his contemporaries the temperament of an angry decade. The greatest literary event of the year 1939 was the publication of his classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. The present article is a critical analysis of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath Keywords: Inhumanity, Labouring Class, Communism, Agricultural Depression. Author(s) retain the copyright of this article Copyright © 2018 VEDA Publications Author(s) agree that this article remains permanently open access under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 International License . John Steinbeck is one of the few American had appeared with a sure and subtle sense for writers who can be discussed in relation to the past literary effect, a story-teller worthy to be compared as well as the present. He might have been the last to Chekov or Anatole France for his skill in shaping up writer of a generation for whom being an American the stuff of human lives in forms that delight the seemed in itself a special thing and being an mind and imagination”, (1957: 80) and that was John American an extraordinary thing.

Ranks Among the Most Significant Scientists of the 20Th Century
Berlin, Jerusalem, and Karlsruhe mark Fritz Haber’s 150th birthday The German physical chemist Fritz Haber (1868-1934) ranks among the most significant scientists of the 20th century. In 1909, through his discovery of a method for synthesizing ammonia from its elements, he laid the scientific foundations for what was soon to be known as the Haber-Bosch process. This technology would overcome the overwhelming reliance of industrial countries on naturally occurring, and ever-more depleted, Chilean nitrate as fertilizer. By the mid-1920s, the Haber-Bosch process had become the dominant means of nitrogen fixation – and thus a cornerstone of food production for the growing world population. The importance of Haber’s work on the ammonia synthesis was recognized early on by the 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (Carl Bosch, who scaled up Haber's method, shared the 1931 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Friedrich Bergius for the invention of high-pressure methods in industrial chemistry). The scope of Haber’s work was unusually wide-ranging, from physical organic chemistry through electrochemistry to thermodynamics. In 1911, Haber became the founding director of Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry (KWI; it was renamed after Haber in 1952). Haber’s patriotic fervor during World War One led to his involvement in the development of chemical warfare (soon duplicated by the Allied nations) as well as in securing war materials for the German military, most especially nitrogen compounds for the production of strategic chemicals and explosives. During 1915-1918, Haber’s KWI served as the German center for the development of chemical weapons – and of protective measures against them.

Telling Our Testing Stories – Handout
Telling our testing stories – handout Isabel Evans, May 2016 Abstract Our messages are not heard or are misinterpreted. Sometimes we do not hear the messages other people need to tell us. Our natural abilities at storytelling and at appreciating the stories others tell us can be crushed under the weight of the ways we are expected to plan, report and communicate about testing and quality. We have a natural ability to tell stories and a natural delight in narrative, which help us communicate about testing and quality to others in our organisations. We look at why and how we tell stories in a way that is appealing to our audience. That means thinking about the role of oral, written and pictorial representations of testing stories, using the analogies of novels, short stories, picture books, poems and songs. You need a variety of story formats to work best for your testing messages and you need to know how to adapt your testing stories to your audience. We also examine how we can better listen to other people’s stories about their parts of the project, about quality and about testing, and how we need to adapt our listening style to different storytellers when we are the audience. Purpose of this handout This handout provides the slides plus notes so that you can follow up the presentation with further investigation and practice after the event. Story telling takes practice – whether words, music, painting, songs, embroideries – all need practice to understand how to design, make and execute the story. Listening also improves with practice.

Gabriela Mistral. the Teaching Journey of a Poet
Gabriela Mistral. The Teaching Journey of a Poet. by Adrienne Joyce Wood Royo A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requerements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages (Spanish-American Literature) Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Professor María A. Salgado Reader: Professor Glynis S. Cowell Reader: Professor Fred M. Clark Reader: Professor Frank A. Domínguez Reader: Professor Ed Neal © 2007 Adrienne Joyce Wood Royo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Adrienne Joyce Wood Royo Gabriela Mistral. The Teaching Journey of a Poet (Under the direction of María A. Salgado) Gabriela Mistral, the first Spanish-American Nobel Laureate, is best known as a poet and prose writer; even though it is widely recognized that her writings are didactic in nature. Little has been written concerning her ideas and how she conveyed them through her writings. This dissertation seeks to open a space that will respond to a need for a consideration of her contributions as a teacher who endeavored to enrich the lives of women and those who had limited educational opportunities. Emphasis is placed on her collaboration with the Mexican poet and Secretary of Education José Vasconcelos, in Mexico’s modernization of its educational system, in particular on behalf of women and the rural areas. In chapter 1, I provide the introductory information with “Some Thoughts on Gabriela Mistral and Education.” In chapter 2, Gabriela Mistral’s educational philosophy, in the light of her career as an author and a teacher, briefly sketching her familial and education background, is discussed.
