  • Other sources stated that no one knew how Harold died because the press of battle was so tight around the king that the soldiers could not see who struck the fatal blow.

• Resolution of Racemates

  • As noted earlier, chiral compounds synthesized from achiral starting materials and reagents are generally racemic (i.e. a 50:50 mixture of enantiomers).
  • The following diagram illustrates this general principle by showing how a nut having a right-handed thread (R) could serve as a "reagent" to discriminate and separate a mixture of right- and left-handed bolts of identical size and weight.

• Remanufacturing: the basics

  • Generally speaking, in most manufacturing processes 70% of the cost of producing a product from scratch is needed for materials and 30% pays for labour.
  • How much energy and materials can be exhumed from a remanufactured product?
  • Rolf Steinhilper formerly of the Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart, Germany (he is currently at the University of Bayreuth), the energy savings derived from remanufacturing worldwide equal the electricity generated by five nuclear plants or 10,744,000 barrels of crude oil carried by a fleet of 233 oil tankers.
  • (Lund, Robert, and Hauser, William, ‘The Remanufacturing Industry: Anatomy of a Giant') Refurbished (i.e. remanufactured) computers, for example, particularly laptops and PCs, are renowned for offering good value-for-money.

• William the Conqueror's Rule

  • After further military efforts, William was crowned king on Christmas Day 1066 in London.
  • William took over an English government that was more complex than the Norman system.
  • To oversee his expanded domain, William was forced to travel even more than he had as duke.

  • The aim of the great survey was to determine what or how much each landholder had in land and livestock, and how much it was worth.

• Compounds Having Two or More Chiral Centers

  • How, then, are we to classify these isomers and others like them?
  • As a general rule, a structure having n chiral centers will have 2n possible combinations of these centers.

• The British Strategy

  • On July 12, 1812, General William Hull led an invading American force of about 1,000 untrained, poorly-equipped militia across the Detroit River and occupied the Canadian town of Sandwich, now a neighborhood of Windsor, Ontario.
  • On October 13, United States forces were again defeated at the Battle of Queenston Heights, where General Brock was killed.

  • After Napoleon abdicated in 1814, the British could send veteran armies to the United States, but by then the Americans had learned how to mobilize and fight.

• Milton Friedman

  • In this important piece, Friedman sets the standards for normative and positive economics as well as influencing several generations of economists.
  • He argues that positive economics is "independent of any ethical position" and its task is to provide "a system of generalizations that can be used to make predictions about the consequences of any change in circumstances;" it is deals with "what is" (Friedman, p 4).
  • Empirical or factual evidence and presumably the use of the language will reveal how well the analytical filing system functions (Ibid).
  • Simplicity is an echo of the work of William Ockham [1285-1347 (49?
  • Fruitfulness reflects the precision of predictions as well as their relevance for wider or more generalized applications.
