Varinder K. Aggarwal of the University of Bristol described (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 6673) the conversion of the Sharpless-derived epoxide 1 into the cyclopropane 2. Christopher D. Bray of Queen Mary University of London established (Chem. Commun. 2010, 46, 5867) that the related conversion of 3 to 5 proceeded with high diastereocontrol. Javier Read de Alaniz of the University of California, Santa Barbara, extended (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 9484) the Piancatelli rearrangement of a furyl carbinol 6 to allow inclusion of an amine 7, to give 8. Issa Yavari of Tarbiat Modares University described (Synlett 2010, 2293) the dimerization of 9 with an amine to give 10. Jeremy E. Wulff of the University of Victoria condensed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 6312) the dienone 11 with the commercial butadiene sulfone 12 to give the highly substituted cyclopentane 13. Robert M. Williams of Colorado State University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 6557) that the condensation of 14 with formaldehyde delivered the cyclopentanone 15 with high diastereocontrol. D. Srinivasa Reddy of Advinus Therapeutics devised (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 5291) conditions for the tandem conjugate addition/intramolecular alkylation conversion of 16 to 17. Marie E. Krafft of Florida State University reported (Synlett 2010, 2583) a related intramolecular alkylation protocol. Takao Ikariya of the Tokyo Institute of Technology effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 11414) the enantioselective Ru-mediated hydrogenation of bicyclic imides such as 18. This transformation worked equally well for three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-membered rings. Stefan France of the Georgia Institute of Technology developed (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5684) a catalytic protocol for the homo-Nazarov rearrangement of the doubly activated cyclopropane 20 to the cyclohexanone 21. Richard P. Hsung of the University of Wisconsin effected (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5768) the highly diastereoselective rearrangement of the triene 22 to the cyclohexadiene 23. Strategies for polycyclic construction are also important. Sylvain Canesi of the Université de Québec devised (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4368) the oxidative cyclization of 24 to 25.

AbstractSince the first study of communication between patient and computer was performed at the University of Wisconsin in 1965, programs for patient-computer dialogue have been developed, implemented, and studied in numerous settings in the United States and abroad, and the results have been encouraging. This review presents a brief history of patient-computer dialogue together with suggested guidelines for programs in the future.

Florence Bascom (1862-1945) was a petrologist and field geologist at Bryn Mawr College who provided a basic description and interpretation of major areas of Pennsylvania and surrounding regions. This paper is the second of a two-part study that explores the question of how Bascom became a geologist. The first part dealt with Bascom's early history in Wisconsin, from the time she went to Madison at the age of 12 to her completion of a Master of Science degree in Microscopic Lithology under Roland D. Irving (1847-1888) at the University Of Wisconsin in 1887.This second part of the study begins with Bascom's experience teaching at Rockford Seminary in Illinois, where she was exposed to Mary E. Holmes (1850-1906). who had obtained a doctorate in paleontology from the University of Michigan. It then details the extension of Bascom's education from a limited laboratory-based experience to involvement in field work with George Huntington Williams (1856-1894) at Johns Hopkins University in the years 1891-1893. Johns Hopkins did not officially admit women to graduate study then. Nevertheless, on the basis of combined field and laboratory research in the Monterey district of Pennsylvania, Bascom received the first doctorate granted to a woman at the University. She was then hired as an Assistant in Geology by Edward Orton (1829-1899), at Ohio State University, a highly unusual appointment at that time. In addition to teaching, she was engaged in field and laboratory work at Ohio State until 1895, when she was hired by Martha Carey Thomas (1857-1935) at Bryn Mawr.

On February 29, 2008, I had the opportunity to sit in on a lecture about the future of academic libraries and the communities they serve. The picture presented was one that had seemed to become formulaic in library discussions: kids don’t want to read anymore, they will continue not to want to read, and on the rare occasion that they do read, it will be on their phones. During this lecture, I thought back to a journal I had discovered in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, a literary journal that took on interesting physical . . .

Introductory Horticulture at Illinois State University is approved for inclusion in the University Studies Program. This program is comprised of courses whose content is considered of general importance to the educated layperson, rather than to the specialist in the field. Departments may use the University Studies Program as a means of attracting students to the field. This has been done with fair success with Introductory Horticulture. Because the course must provide personal enrichment, be broad in scope, offer a systematic design for further learning, and assure a breadth of knowledge and understanding, this course has been designed to focus on the economies of the various horticultural industries, how they are related to the socioeconomic history of the various regions of the country and how the marketing of horticultural products and enterprises affects the personal life of individuals. Acceptance of this approach has been two-fold: first: student evaluations are positive, a steady enrollment has been maintained, and the course has steadily provided 10% to 15% of new Horticulture students, and second: the University Studies review committee has twice affirmed the “tenure” of Introductory Horticulture in spite of increasingly stringent guidelines that discourage many traditional science courses.

Mei-Huey Lin of the National Changhua University of Education rearranged (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 2751) the initial allene derived from 1 to the γ-chloroenone. Displacement with acetate followed by hydrolysis led to the furan 2. A. Stephen K. Hashmi of Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 3715) that the Au-catalyzed conversion of the bis alkyne 3, mediated by 4, proceeded selectively to give 5. Tehshik P. Yoon of the University of Wisconsin used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 793) visible light with a Ru catalyst to rearrange the azide 6 to the pyrrole 7. Cheol-Min Park, now at UNIST, found (Chem. Sci. 2014, 5, 2347) that a Ni catalyst reorganized the methoxime 8 to the pyrrole 9. A Rh catalyst converted 8 to the corresponding pyridine (not illustrated). In the course of a synthesis of opioid ligands, Kenner C. Rice of the National Institute on Drug Abuse optimized (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 5007) the preparation of the pyridine 11 from the alcohol 10. Vincent Tognetti and Cyrille Sabot of the University of Rouen heated (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 1303) 12 and 13 under micro­wave irradiation to give the 3-hydroxy pyridine 14. Tomislav Rovis of Colorado State University prepared (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 2735) the pyridine 17 by the Rh-catalyzed combination of 15 with 16. Fabien Gagosz of the Ecole Polytechnique rearranged (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 4959) the azirine 18, readily available from the oxime of the β-keto ester, to the pyridine 19. Matthias Beller of the Universität Rostock used (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 1818) a Zn catalyst to mediate the opening of the epoxide 21 with the aniline 20. A Rh cata­lyst effected the oxidation and cyclization of the product amino alcohol to the indole 22. Sreenivas Katukojvala of the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 4076) that the diazo ketone 23 could be used to anneal a benzene ring onto the pyrrole 24, leading to the 2,7-disubstituted indole 25.

The α-C–H functionalization of piperidine catalyzed by tantalum complex 1 to pro­duce amine 2 was developed (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 2182) by Laurel L. Schafer at the University of British Columbia. An asymmetric diamination of diene 3 with diaziri­dine reagent 4 under palladium catalysis to furnish cyclic sulfamide 5 was developed (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 796) by Yian Shi at Colorado State University. Enantioenriched β-fluoropiperdine 8 was prepared (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 2469) via amino­fluorocyclization of 6 with hypervalent iodide 7, as reported by Cristina Nevado at the University of Zurich. Erick M. Carreira at ETH Zürich disclosed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 6814) a ruthenium-catalyzed hydrocarbamoylation of allylic formamide 9 to yield pyrrolidone 10. Hans-Günther Schmalz at the University of Köln disclosed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 1576) an asymmetric hydrocyanation of styrene 11 with Ni(cod)₂ and phosphine–phosphite ligand 12 to yield exclusively the branched cyanide 13. A simi­lar transformation of styrene 11 to the hydroxycarbonylated product 15 was catalyzed (Chem. Commun. 2013, 49, 3306) by palladium complex 14, as reported by Matthew L. Clarke at the University of St Andrews. Feng-Ling Qing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 2198) that the hydrotrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkene 16 to 17 was catalyzed by silver nitrate. The same transformation was also reported (J. Am.Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 2505) by Véronique Gouverneur at the University of Oxford using a ruthenium photocatalyst and the Umemoto reagent 18. Clark R. Landis at the University of Wisconsin, Madison reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 1564) a one-pot asymmetric hydroformylation using 21 followed by Wittig olefination to transform alkene 19 into the γ-chiral α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound 20. Debabrata Mati at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 3355) that alkene 22 could be nitrated stereoselectively with silver nitrite and TEMPO to form alkene 23. Damian W. Young at the Broad Institute disclosed (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1218) that a macrocyclic vinylsiloxane 24, which was synthesized via an E-selective ring clos­ing metathesis reaction, could be functionalized to make either E- or Z-alkenes, 25 and 26.
