THE DIVERSE SEARCH FOR SYNTHETIC, SEMISYNTHETIC AND NATURAL PRODUCT ANTIBIOTICS FROM THE 1940S AND UP TO 1960 EXEMPLIFIED BY A SMALL PHARMACEUTICAL PLAYER

The Diverse Search for Synthetic, Semisynthetic and Natural Product Antibiotics From the 1940s and Up to 1960 Exemplified by a Small Pharmaceutical Player

The 1940s and 1950s witnessed a diverse search for not just natural product antibiotics but also for synthetic and semisynthetic compounds.This review revisits this epoch, using the research by a Danish pharmaceutical company, LEO Pharma, as an example.LEO adopted a strategy searching for synthetic antibiotics toward specific bacterial pathogens, i

The detection of carbon dioxide leaks using quasi-tomographic laser absorption spectroscopy measurements in variable wind

Laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) has been used over the last several decades for the measurement of trace gasses in the atmosphere.For over a decade, LAS measurements from multiple sources and tens of retroreflectors have been combined with sparse-sample tomography methods to estimate the 2-D acquerello distribution of trace gas concentrations a
