MULLIKEN WAS a quiet, soft-spoken man, yet so R single-minded and determined in his devotion to under- standing molecules that he came to be called “Mr. Molecule.” If any single person’s ideas and teachings dominated the development of our understanding of molecular structure and spectra, it surely was Robert Mulliken. From the begin- ning of his career as an independent scientist in the mid- 1920s until he published his last scientific papers in the early 1980s, he guided an entire field through his penetrat- ing solutions of outstanding puzzles, his identification (or discovery) and analysis of the new major problems ripe for study, and his creation of a school—the Laboratory of Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy or LMSS at the University of Chicago, during its existence the most impor- tant center in the world for the study of molecules. Robert’s background led him naturally into academic sci- ence. He was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in a house built by his great-grandfather in about 1798.

    MAURICE WILKINS CENTRE New Zealand’s Centre of Research Excellence targeting human disease Annual Report 2013 Maurice Wilkins Centre The Maurice Wilkins Centre is New Zealand’s Centre of Research Excellence targeting major human diseases. It focuses on cancer, diabetes and infectious disease. New Zealand has an outstanding reputation for biomedical research. The Centre aims to harness this expertise to develop drugs and vaccines, tools for early diagnosis and prevention, and new models of disease. In addition to translational research that directly targets human disease, the Maurice Wilkins Centre encourages innovative fundamental science that has the potential for high impact on human health. The Maurice Wilkins Centre is a multidisciplinary network that brings together leading biologists, chemists and computer scientists. At the end of 2013 it comprised 148 investigators throughout the country, and over 170 early-career affiliates, linking researchers from six universities, three Crown Research Institutes and two private research institutes. These investigators represent most of New Zealand’s expertise in discovering new drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tools that proceed to clinical trials. As the national hub for molecular biodiscovery the Centre provides a point of contact for a broad range of national scientific expertise. It cultivates collaborations with international researchers and research institutions and also engages with industry and the medical profession.

  • A Review on Sonochemistry and Its Environmental Applications
    acoustics Review A Review on Sonochemistry and Its Environmental Applications Ba¸sakSavun-Hekimo˘glu Institute of Marine Sciences and Management, Istanbul University, 34134 Istanbul,˙ Turkey; [email protected] Received: 10 September 2020; Accepted: 23 October 2020; Published: 25 October 2020 Abstract: Sonochemistry is a significant contributor to green science as it includes: (i) the use of less toxic compounds and environmentally safe solvents, (ii) improvement of reaction conditions and selectivity, (iii) no toxic sludge generation, (iv) reduction in the energy use for chemical transformations, (v) reusability of materials. In water and wastewater treatment, ultrasound is used as an advanced oxidation process to eliminate refractory pollutants. Ultrasound is also used as a very effective sludge pretreatment technology in wastewater treatment plants to facilitate biogas production. Moreover, sonochemical synthesis of nanoparticles has recently attracted great attention as a greener protocol. This paper presents the main applications of ultrasound in environmental remediation and protection. The study also introduces mechanism for the degradation of pollutants from water via sonication in aqueous media and the principle factors affecting the cavitational effect. Keywords: ultrasound; sonocatalysis; water treatment; sludge pretreatment; nanomaterials 1. Introduction to Sonochemistry Sonochemistry is a field that studies the enhancement of chemical reaction and mass transfer rates under various ultrasonic conditions. Ultrasound is characterized as any sound wave at frequencies above normal human ear hearing range (i.e., above 16 kHz). The mechanism causing sonochemical effects in liquids is the phenomenon of acoustic cavitation. When ultrasound waves propagate in a liquid medium, they generate a repeating pattern of compressions and rarefactions to supply energy to the liquid phase.

We have tried to consider names mainly connected with important events during the earlier periods of peptide history, but could not include all authors mentioned in the text of this book. This is particularly true for the more recent decades when the number of peptide chemists and biologists increased to such an extent that their enumeration would have gone beyond the scope of this Appendix. 250 Appendix Plate 8.

    LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COLLECTIONS POLICY STATEMENTS History of Science and History of Technology (Class Q, R, S, T, and applicable Z) Contents I. Scope II. Research strengths III. General collecting policy IV. Best editions and preferred formats V. Acquisitions sources: current and future VI. Collecting levels I. Scope This Collections Policy Statement covers all of the subclasses of Science and Technology and treats the history of these disciplines together. In a certain sense, most of the materials in Q, R, S, and T are part of the history of science and technology. The Library has extensive resources in the history of medicine and agriculture, but many years ago a decision was made that the Library should not intensively collect materials in clinical medicine and technical agriculture, as they are subject specialties of the National Library of Medicine and the National Agricultural Library, respectively. In addition, some of the numerous abstracting and indexing services, catalogs of other scientific and technical collections and libraries, specialized bibliographies, and finding aids for the history of science and technology are maintained in class Z. See the list of finding aids online: http://findingaids.loc.gov/. II. Research strengths 1. General The Library’s collections are robust in both the history of science and the history of technology. Both collections comprise two major elements: the seminal works of science and technology themselves, and historiographies on notable scientific and technological works. The former comprise the original classic works of science and technology as they were composed by the men and women who ushered in the era of modern science and invention.

This also relates the (111) fcc gold layer to the graphene surface, the gold nanowires to the carbon nanotubes, and the Mackay icosahedra well known in cluster growth simulations to the halma transforms of the fullerene C20. (L. Trombach, S. Rampino, L.-S. Wang, P. Schwerdtfeger, Chem. Europ. J. 22, 8823 (2016). Objectives of Research Centre: Our objective is to advance and disseminate knowledge in the area of theoretical/computational chemistry and physics, and to maintain high international standards in this research field only matched by top research institutes world-wide. All objectives are clearly met, as we are one of the most productive and internationally acclaimed research centres here in New Zealand, with truly outstanding performances by each of our staff members. Our research centre has not been without a Marsden grant running since it was established (a new grant was awarded in 2016 to Joachim Brand), four staff are actively involved in the Dodd-Walls CoRE, four others were successful in a funding bid to the Norwegian Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) to perform research in the field of Chemistry at Extreme Conditions.
