Learning Options

Formal university-based distance education has been around for over 100 years. For example, Cornell University established the Correspondence University in 1882, and Chautauqua College of Liberal Arts in New York was awarding degrees via correspondence courses in 1883 (Nasseh, 1997). Soon many other educational institutions, including the University of Chicago, Penn State University, Yale University, and John Hopkins University, were offering these nontraditional learning options for their students. Many institutions then moved to instructional telecommunications as the technology matured. With the entry of the personal computer into homes and workplaces in the 1980s, learning started to become more technology driven. But it was not until the 1990s, with the proliferation of the World Wide Web, that the concept of technology-enhanced education began to change drastically.

Derek Moore was born in South Shields and studied at the local grammar school, from which he gained an Exhibition to Jesus College, Cambridge. However, before going to Cambridge he did his National Service in the Royal Air Force and was stationed in Yorkshire, where one of his fellow personnel was the poet Ted Hughes. He entered Jesus College in 1951, studying for the Mathematical Tripos, which he gained in 1954, and for Part III, which he gained in 1955. He then became a research student in applied mathematics and theoretical fluid mechanics under the supervision of Dr Ian Proudman and was awarded a PhD degree of the University of Cambridge in 1958. Thereafter he held positions at the University of Bristol, the Goddard Space Flight Center, New York, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and Imperial College, London, where he spent the major part of his career. He became distinguished for the Moore-Spiegel oscillator and the Moore singularity. Moreover he had a strong interest in jazz, which is the subject of an appreciation by Peter Batten.

This issue of Laser and Particle Beams contains 27 contributed articles based on presentations given at the eighth International Workshop on the Physics of Compressible Turbulent Mixing (IWPCTM) (see http://www.llnl.gov/IWPCTM), held at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California from December 9 to 14, 2001, and organized jointly by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the California Institute of Technology. This conference is the eighth in a biennial series of conferences on the general subject of experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies of compressible turbulent mixing, initiated by LLNL in the late 1980s. Previous conferences were held in Princeton, New Jersey (1988), Pleasanton, California (1989), Royaumont, France (1991), Cambridge, United Kingdom (1993), Stony Brook, New York (1995), Marseille, France (1997), and St. Petersburg, Russia (1999). The ninth IWPCTM is to be held at the University of Cambridge in 2004.

Thomas Hunt Morgan

Thomas Hunt Morgan, born 25 September 1866 at Lexington, Kentucky, was the elder son of Charlton Hunt Morgan of that State. His mother, Ellen Key Howard, was from Baltimore. There were two younger children in the family, of whom his sister Ellen survives him. From the University of Kentucky, Morgan graduated B.S. 1886 and proceeded to postgraduate work in the same University, later removing to Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, where he took his Ph.D. in 1890. From that date his academic career falls into three periods: From 1891 to 1904 he was Professor of Zoology at Bryn Mawr College for women ; 1904 to 1928, Professor of Experimental Zoology at Columbia, New York ; while from 1928 to 1945 he was Professor of Biology at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, as director of the William G. Kerckhoff laboratories .

James A. Bull of Imperial College London showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 14230) that the malonate 1 could readily be cyclized to the oxetane 2. Davide Ravelli of the University of Pavia functionalized (Adv. Synth. Catal. 2014, 356, 2781) the α position of the oxetane 3 with 4, leading to 5. Frank Glorius of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster hydrogenated (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 8751) the furan 6 to give 7 in high ee. Jia-Rong Chen and Wen-Jing Xiao of Central China Normal University converted (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2014, 4714) the initial Henry adduct from 8 into the cyclic ether 9. Anil K. Saikia of the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati cyclized (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 8592) the ene–yne 10 to the ketone 11. Richard C. D. Brown of the University of Southampton developed (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 5104) a chiral auxiliary that effectively directed the oxidative cyclization of the diene 12 to 13. The chiral auxiliary could be recovered and reused. K. A. Woerpel of New York University showed (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 3684) that, depending on the solvent, 15 could be added to 14 to give either 16 or 17. Samuel J. Danishefsky of Columbia University and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center also observed (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 8731) a marked solvent effect on the diastereoselectivity of the reduction of 18 to 19. Xiaoming Feng of Sichuan University added (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 14493) the ketone 20 to Danishefsky’s diene 21 to give 22 in high ee. Jhillu Singh Yadav of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology effected (Tetrahedron Lett. 2014, 55, 3996) intramolecular opening of the oxetane of 23 to give, with clean inversion, the cyclic ether 24. Chun-Yu Ho of the South University of Science and Technology, taking advan­tage (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 11873) of the superior chelating ability of the allyl ether, selectively cyclized 25 to 26. Xuegong She of Lanzhou University used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 10789) a gold catalyst to convert 27 into the eight-membered ring ether 28.
