Novel Applications of Polyurethanes

An online atmospheric radiation model is introduced and used to explain the technical details of the mechanism for global warming. Fundamental principles of the global energy balance, radiant energy transfer, and the atmosphere are applied.

Fabio H. Ribeiro is the R. Norris and Eleanor Shreve Professor of Chemical Engineering at Purdue. He is also the Director of CISTAR (Center for Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources), a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center (https://cistar.us/) at the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University.

Within chemical process development, program timing often dictates making informed decisions with limited process understanding, especially in the early clinical delivery space. To facilitate this, the Merck Process Development Intensification Laboratory is tasked with developing tools and methodologies aimed towards acquisition of deeper, more fundamental process understanding in a resource sparing manner. These chemical process development techniques are centrally focused around data intensification, or more specifically, more efficient data capture, data reduction and data analysis enabled.

Identify, evaluate, and control risks associated with hazardous chemicals in your workplace. Compliance Specialist Brian McFadden breaks down the five steps to a successful Chemical Risk Assessment. Understand regulations and standards that may apply to your facility and visual signals that will help provide information your workers and customers need to stay safe. Before you jump into an assessment, you need some preparation. The first step here is identifying and understanding the specific rules that apply in your circumstances. Some of the most important guidelines for talking about chemical hazards come from the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, or more simply, GHS. This international standard is maintained by the United Nations, and it offers a consistent and comprehensive way to describe many of the dangers that could be posed by a chemical. The GHS approach also includes standardized labeling and documentation for chemicals, which will be very helpful in the later steps of the Chemical Risk Assessment.
