Light browning poor paperquality. <br/><br/><em>First apperance of an importent paper in which Grignard revealed the "Grignard Reagent" an important means of preparing organic compounds from smaller precursor molecules. For this work Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 jointly with fellow Frenchman Paul Sabatier."A large number of general synthetic methods had been developed by the end of the nineteenth century. However one of the most versatile and importent was first described as the new century opened. This was the Grignard synthesis." Leicester "A Source book in Chemistry 1900-1950" where this paper is translated "Some New Organometallic Compounds of Magnesium and Their Application to the Synthesis ofAlchohols and Hydrocarbons"."Grignard treated magnesium turnings in anhydrous ether with methyl iodide at room temperature preparing what came to be known as the Grignard reagent which could be used for reaction with a ketone or an aldehyde without first being isolated. On hydrolyzing with dilute acid the corresponding tertiary or secondary alcohol was produced in much better yield than Barbier had been able to obtain. Grignard’s discovery was reported in a short paper at a meeting of the Académie des Sciences in May 1900 the paper offered." DSB. </em> unknown

Sobrero's paper: pp. 247-248.

Sobrero"Nitroglycerin was synthesized by the chemist Ascagne Sobrero in the middle of the nineteenth century. When he tasted it as all good nineteenth century chemists did when they discovered a new compound it gave him what he called a migraine because of its vasodilatory effect which was later harnessed in the treatment of angina by William Murrell 1879 following the experience of a distinguished British clinician Lauder Brunton using amyl nitrite 1867 Later in the nineteenth century Alfred Nobel discovered how to stabilize nitroglycerin using kieselguhr diatomite clay; this led to highly successful industrial applications of dynamite and created the fortune that eventually funded the eponymous prizes. For medical purposes nitroglycerin was subsequently renamed glyceryl trinitrate to hide the fact that it was literally dynamite as well as metaphorically." </em> unknown

Pp. 93-102. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this importent paper in which Arago gives an account of his discovery of how iron and steel could be magnetized by the action of the voltaic current THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. "Arago . made several important contributions to electromagnetism on his own. On 20 September 1820 he announced the discovery of the temporary magnetization of soft iron by an electric current which suggested to Ampère a theory about the nature of magnetic "currents" and provided the technological key to the electric telegraph. Ampère calculated that the magnetic power could be multiplied by twisting the current-carrying wire into a helix and with Arago he carried out the first experiments on primitive solenoids. In his historical articles Arago was always careful to credit Ampère with the major share of this discovery which ultimately depended upon Ampère’s mathematical theory."DSB.Arago formed a close freinship with Fresnelwhose views on the nature of light he ardently supported. He assisted Fresnel in some of his most importent work and made original discoveries in the same field.Magie "A Source Book in Physics" p. 443 ff. </em> unknown

Platelets or thrombocytes or yellow blood cells are very small irregularly shaped clear cell fragments i.e. cells that do not have a nucleus containing DNA 2-3 µm in diameter which derive from fragmentation of precursor megakaryocytes. The average lifespan of a platelet is normally just 5 to 9 days. Platelets are a natural source of growth factors. They circulate in the blood of mammals and are involved in hemostasis leading to the formation of blood clots. Platelets release thread-like fibers to form these clots.Garrison & Morton 864. </em> unknown

He named them Fuchsian functions after the mathematician Lazarus Fuchs because Fuchs was known for being a good teacher and had researched on differential equations and the theory of functions. Poincaré actually developed the concept of these functions as part of his doctoral thesis. Under Poincaré's definition an automorphic function is one which is analytic in its domain and is invariant under a discrete infinite group of linear fractional transformations. Automorphic functions then generalize both trigonometric and elliptic functions." Wikipedia. </em> unknown

He investigated the varieties of sugar that occur in sweet vegetable juices distinguishing three kinds and he showed that the sugar in grapes of which he announced the existence to his classes at Madrid is identical with that obtained from honey by the Russian chemist J. T. Lowitz.Proust is famous for his work on the steadiness of composition of chemical compounds."In chemistry the law of definite proportions sometimes called Proust's Law states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass. An equivalent statement is the law of constant composition which states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition. For example oxygen makes up 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water while hydrogen makes up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. Along with the law of multiple proportions the law of definite proportions forms the basis of stoichiometry."Wikipedia. </em> unknown
