Gaseous diffusion was devised by Francis Simon and Nicholas Kurti at the Clarendon Laboratory in 1940, tasked by the MAUD Committee with finding a method for separating Uranium-235 from Uranium-238 in order to produce a bomb for the British Tube Alloys project.

Professor Nicholas Kurti () FRS ( 14 May 1908-24 November 1998 ) was a Hungarian-born physicist who lived in Oxford, UK, for most of his life.

This work attracted worldwide attention, and Kurti was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

The term " molecular gastronomy " was coined in 1992 by late Oxford physicist Nicholas Kurti and the French INRA chemist Hervé This.

The term " Molecular and Physical Gastronomy " was coined in 1992 by Hungarian physicist Nicholas Kurti and French physical chemist Hervé This.

University of Oxford physicist Nicholas Kurti was an enthusiastic advocate of applying scientific knowledge to culinary problems.

Up until 2001, The International Workshop on Molecular Gastronomy " N. Kurti " ( IWMG ) was named the " International Workshops of Molecular and Physical Gastronomy " ( IWMPG ).

Kurti and This acknowledged this fact and though they decided that a new, organized and specific discipline should be created within food science that investigated the processes in regular cooking ( as food science was primarily concerned with the nutritional properties of food and developing methods to process food on an industrial scale ), there are several notable examples throughout history of investigations into the science of everyday cooking recorded as far as back to 18th century.

In 1969, the recently invented microwave oven enabled Hungarian physicist and molecular gastronomist Nicholas Kurti to produce a reverse Baked Alaska ( also called a " Frozen Florida ")— a frozen shell of meringue filled with hot liquor.

Eventually, the shortened term " Molecular Gastronomy " also became the name of the scientific discipline co-created by Kurti and This to be based on exploring the science behind traditional cooking methods.

In 1956, Simon and Kurti built a laboratory experiment that reached a temperature of one microkelvin.

During the presentation Kurti demonstrated making meringue in a vacuum chamber, the cooking of sausages by connecting them across a car battery, the digestion of protein by fresh pineapple juice, and a reverse baked alaska-hot inside, cold outside-cooked in a microwave oven.

Azu or Hizan ( near Lake Van ) by the name Kurti or Kurkhi.

He answered Ostbahn Kurti & die Chefpartie, which a decade later became the name of Willi Resetarits and his band.

Even after the retirement of his alter ego Ostbahn Kurti / Dr.

However, when Adolf Hitler rose to power, both Simon and Kurti left Germany, joining the Clarendon Laboratory in the University of Oxford, England.

Kurti and This had been the co-directors of the " Molecular and Physical Gastronomy " meetings in Erice, along with the American food science writer Harold McGee, and had considered the creation of a formal discipline around the subjects discussed in the meetings.

Thomas and Valdrè approached Kurti to be the director of the workshop.

This desire, I went on, growing voluble as my conviction was aroused, had mounted at such a rate recently that I now found its realization necessary not only to my physical but also to my spiritual wellbeing.

It was certain now that Jess was in the house, but also, presumably, was Stacey Black.

But it also made him conspicuous to the enemy, if it was the enemy, and he hadn't been spotted already.

He was asking had it been she who left the love note in his sheets ( she also served as maid ) when he saw the Grafin followed by a stately blond girl approaching his table.

This was also a corpse -- a male, judging from the coral arm bands, the tribal scars still discernible on the maggoty face, the painted bone of the warrior caste which still pierced the septum of the rotting nose.

His superiors had also preached this, saying it was the way for eternal honor.

Charles, also fifteen, was tall and skinny, scraggly, with straight black hair like an Indian's and sharp brown eyes.

Although New Orleans was not to learn of it for a spell, she also was a sadist, a nymphomaniac and unobtrusively mad -- the perpetrator of some of the worst crimes against humanity ever committed on American soil.

There was also a dog, a dingo dog.

There was also a long wooden spear and a woomera, a spear-throwing device which gives the spear an enormous velocity and high accuracy.

There was also a boomerang, elaborately carved.

It was also subtly familiar, for it was the odor of the human body, but multiplied innumerable times because of the fact that the aborigines never bathed.

It was to provide a safe and spacious crossing for these caravans, and also to make a pleasance for the city, that Shah Abbas 2, in about 1657 built, of sun-baked brick, tile, and stone, the present bridge.

There was also a lesson, one that has served ever since to keep Americans, in their conflicts with one another, from turning from the ballot to the bullet.

Joseph Jastrow, the younger son of the distinguished rabbi, Marcus Jastrow, was a friendly, round-faced fellow with a little mustache, whose field was psychology, and who was also a punster and a jolly tease.

And just as `` Laurie '' Lawrence was first attracted to bright Jo March, who found him immature by her high standards, and then had to content himself with her younger sister Amy, so Joe Jastrow, who had also been writing Henrietta before he came to Johns Hopkins, had to content himself with her younger sister, pretty Rachel.

she also went to Washington and appealed to Senator George William Norris of Nebraska, the Fighting Liberal, from whose office a sympathetic but cautious harrumphing was heard.

The Indians who came aboard ship to collect the mail also interested her greatly, even if she was suitably shocked, according to the customs of the society in which she had been reared, to find them `` naked, except a piece of cotton cloth wrapped around their middle ''.

He also disliked Runyon, for no good reason other than the fact that the Demon's talent was so marked as to put him well beyond the Hetman's say-so or his supervision.
