Academic Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments in the United States
A comprehensive list contains some 1300 links to the web pages of chemistry and biochemistry departments at four-year academic institutions in the United States. Also included are general science departments if chemistry is prominently featured and a bachelor's degree in chemistry is offered, as are the chemistry sections of national research laboratories (e.g. Argonne, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos), and some chemistry related research links. U.S. dependencies such as Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are listed in the "Chemistry Departments Outside the U.S." section.

LogiChem 2006
LogiChem 2006 is bringing together over 20 executives involved in chemical supply chain and logistics over 4 days to share the lessons they have learned regarding solutions to their varied value chain issues. LogiChem 2006 is pursuing more collaborative solutions to supply chain issues such as Six Sigma, Metrics Monitoring, and Transportation Management, where interactivity with your supply chain peers will be emphasized. These are issues that can be better solved through cooperation rather than competition, and LogiChem is providing the right atmosphere to encourage the joint resolution of these, and many other supply chain challenges.

Cellulose cooked
The crystalline and indigestible form of cellulose, the most abundant biomass material on earth, can now be broken down into a gelatinous and amorphous form using pressurized superheated hot water. This novel form of cellulose becomes open to enzymic action and so could be a useful new feedstock for a wide range of products. Shigeru Deguchi of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology and colleagues at Hokkaido University reasoned that the fact that the common polysaccharide starch can be gelatinized at 60-70 Celsius might suggest that cellulose could be converted similarly under more extreme conditions. They were successful at 320 Celsius and 25 MPa, by following loss of birefringence using polarized optical microscopy. As with starch, the gelatinization process was not reversible.
