George Busk, F.R.S.

George Owen Rees, MD, FRS (1813-89): pioneer of medical chemistry.

The practical utility of chemistry in medicine was already beginning to be recognized by some physicians in the second half of the eighteenth century, and in 1770 the United Hospitals (St Thomas's and Guy's) established in London a joint medical school in which Guy's was to provide instruction in the so-called "collateral sciences"-botany, physiology, natural philosophy (i.e. physics), and chem...

not much worried whether they be right or wrong. His desire to be the center of attraction may lead him to do things considered irrational when viewed from other angles. If he is in the upper 10 per cent of his class at school, it might be well to advance him to the next grade, provided he is sufficiently interested to show that he is capable of doing the work. If convenient, the teacher should...

Description of the FRS domain

An FRS helps in the reservation of facilities (such as tutorial rooms, hotel rooms, lecture theaters) and specific equipment. Different organizations such as academic institutions, hotels, hospitals and companies, have different physical facilities and arrangements for their reservation. Most often, users (individuals or organizations) manage their own reservations with an FRS (e.g., add, delet...

A novel FRS Data Acquisition

In the experiments involving the use of in-flight radioactive beams the selectivity and the detection of the rare products are very demanding. Using faster processing and data acquisition (DAQ) is also important and can be crucial for the realization of those experiments that otherwise may require a non realistic beam time. In particular, here we concern with experiments which can be performed ...
