...Primary protein reactions," declared Dr. Svedberg, "are . . . elementary acts which must, of necessity, obey the laws of quantum mechanics." The implications of this statement are vastly more important to science than the actual splitting of blood pigment molecules. If the quantization of biological processes can be continued far enough, it will be possible to explain in exact mathematical terms-in terms of atomic energy levels and electronspins-what happens when insulin is secreted in the pancreas, when starch is broken down in the digestive system, when an ovum is penetrated and fertilized by a spermatozoon, many & many a complex biological...
...that Giauque does not regard the pursuit of absolute zero as a competitive stunt, but as a means of studying entropy, and for this purpose the region within a degree of the zero is cold enough. Such study is a great chemical timesaver. For all chemical reactions must obey the laws of thermodynamics. In the absolute zero region information is obtained which shows in advance whether or not certain chemical reactions are thermodynamically possible. If they are not possible, there is no use looking for a catalyst (chemical activator) and otherwise wasting time trying to make impossible combinations...
...hoping for a new kind of reunion: A reunion to which men come and learn about Harvard and its aims, and which they can leave, go into town and village, and fight for this new philosophy. Only this will make reunions truly worthwhile. Only this will enable graduates to obey the second half of the old command: ". . . go forth to serve...
...first undergraduate affair in which Karpovitch took part when he entered college in 1906 was a meeting where the students decided not to attend classes for two weeks. Throughout the year strikes continued for political reasons. A small minority refusing to obey the dictates of the strike committee came into sharp conflict with the striking students...
...Panay incident was a dramatic demonstration of that feature of the Japanese constitution under which the army and navy (1 are pledged to conquer the Orient for Japan, 2 must obey to the letter the orders of the civilian premier, 3 need pay no attention to orders from either the premier or the Emperor, 4 are responsible only to the Emperor and virtually independent of the civilian Government, 5 are responsible only to commanders in the field...
