STOPPED FLOW reaction analysis
Gordon F. Kirkbright Appeal
Union Giken apparatus achieves a dead time as short as Vz millisecond for measurement of fast reactions. Gas pressure is directly applied to the surface of the reactants in each reservoir, mixing and flow being controlled from the end of the system by a high-response stop valve. The RA-401 STOPPED FLOW SPECTROMETER is the ideal match for fast reactions.
the business founded by his father Chester Fisher (the 1962 SAMA Award recipient). He worked in all phases of the company's operations, held various positions, such as vicepresident, executive vice-president, and president, and finally served as chairman of the board until his retire ment in 1981. Fisher was actively in volved in the affairs of SAMA from the 1930s through the mid-1970s. He chaired a Laboratory Apparatus Sec tion standardization committee and also served several terms as a director of the SAMA board.
Zare Receives 1985 Langmuir Prize
The RA-451 D A T A PROCESSOR gener ates a simulated reaction curve from the measured results and automatically calculates the rate constant.
An effort is being made to establish a bursary fund as a memorial to the late Gordon Kirkbright and his work to help advance study in the field of an alytical science. The appeal is being organized by the Department of In strumentation and Analytical Science (DIAS) of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. The fund will be administered by the Committee and Trust of the Associa tion of British Spectroscopists, which is a registered educational charity. The effort also has the support of the So ciety for Applied Spectroscopy and the Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry. On behalf of these organizations, John Alder of DIAS has issued the following request: "I appeal to you to make a donation to a fund which will establish a bursary, available to promising young analytical scientists of any nation, to support a visit to a recognized scientific meeting or recognized place of learning, in order to further their education." Checks or money orders should be made payable to the Association of British Spectroscopists Trust (GFK Appeal) and should be addressed to J. F. Alder, DIAS/UMIST, P.O. Box 88, Manchester M60 1QD, England.

Meetings The 1985 Irving Langmuir Prize in Chemical Physics has been awarded to Richard Zare of Stanford University. Zare is being recognized for "his semi nal innovations in developing many experimental and theoretical methods for the study of molecular structure and collision processes." He and his group pioneered the development of laser-induced fluorescence and used this technique, for example, in studies of the internal energy distribution of molecules scattered from metal sur faces. Zare has used polarized light to determine how the geometry of reac tive collisions affects the reaction out come. Additionally, he and his group have developed a tunable source of co herent extreme vacuum UV radiation. Zare earned his PhD in 1964 from
