...almost doubled the yield from U.S. cotton fields in the past two decades by controlling the boll weevil. Even the Swedes, who have decided to ban the chemical, readily acknowledge its effectiveness. In 1948 they awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry to Swiss Chemist Paul Müller for his discovery of its "miraculous" capacity for destroying insects...
Thick and Thin. First, researchers must answer a basic question: how is pain felt? As long ago as 1826, Johannes Peter Müller promulgated the "law of specific nerve energies." He suggested that stimulation of specific pain receptors in the skin, like those for heat or pressure, sends impulses along specific nerve fibers to equally specific parts of the spinal cord and brain. This concept has since been called the "direct telephone-line system." The latest research shows that the system is by no means so simple as direct dialing. It is full of crossovers and redundancies, creating...
...Working without government support, we must compete with flag preferences and subsidized companies-in reality with foreign governments. But we work hard, we watch our expenses and we try to give service second to none," MØller explains. The system works. This year Maersk ships represented half of the Danish merchant fleet's total ton nage of 4,000,000 tons...
Most of the line's ships are built at MØller's Lindoe shipyard near Odense. Of 54 ships launched there in the past ten years, 31 fly the seven-pointed star. But even without the shipping line, the shipbuilding branch would probably be in the black. The boom that followed the closing of the Suez Canal left order books bulging, with some delivery dates as far ahead as 1970. Eleven ships with more than a 2,000,000-ton capacity are on order at Lindoe, including two 240,000-ton tankers for Esso...
...modest, retiring man, Maersk McKinney MØller credits his success to two things: his grandfather's star and his father's motto: "No detail is too small. No effort too great...
