Amongst his achievements, he discovered some asteroids and comets, came up with the " dirty snowball " cometary hypothesis, and designed the Whipple shield.

In 1933, he discovered the periodic comet 36P / Whipple and the asteroid 1252 Celestia.

Though he is not related to George Hoyt Whipple, who named Whipple's disease and discovered Tropheryma whipplei, the two were lifelong friends.

Whipple shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1934 with George Richards Minot and William Parry Murphy " for their discoveries concerning liver therapy in cases of anemia.

Pernicious anemia was a fatal disease before about the year 1920, when George Whipple suggested raw liver as a treatment.

William P. Murphy, George Whipple and George Minot discover that liver extracts cure pernicious anemia, previously a rapidly fatal illness.

These investigations and results of Whipple's gave Minot and Murphy the idea that an experiment could be made to see whether favorable results might also be obtained in the case of pernicious anemia ... by making use of the foods of the kind that Whipple had found to yield favorable results in his experiments regarding anemia from loss of blood.

William Parry Murphy ( Stoughton, Wisconsin, February 6, 1892 – October 9, 1987 ) was an American physician who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1934 with George Richards Minot and George Hoyt Whipple for their combined work in devising and treating macrocytic anemia ( specifically, pernicious anemia ).

George Richards Minot ( December 2, 1885 – February 25, 1950 ) was an American medical researcher who shared the 1934 Nobel Prize with George Hoyt Whipple and William P. Murphy for their pioneering work on pernicious anemia.

Minot won the 1934 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with William P. Murphy and George H. Whipple for their work in the study of anemia.

The first workable treatment for pernicious anemia began when Whipple made a discovery in the course of experiments in which he bled dogs to make them anemic, then fed them various foods to see which would make them recover most rapidly ( he was looking for treatments for anemia from bleeding, not pernicious anemia ).

Whipple attended Phillips Academy and then Yale University from which he graduated with a B. A.

Giotto provided the first evidence in support of Fred Whipple's " dirty snowball " hypothesis for comet construction ; Whipple postulated that comets are icy objects warmed by the Sun as they approach the inner Solar System, causing ices on their surfaces to sublimate ( change directly from a solid to a gas ), and jets of volatile material to burst outward, creating the coma.

The spacecraft was derived from the GEOS research satellite built by British Aerospace, and modified with the addition of a dust shield as proposed by Fred Whipple which comprised a thin ( 1 mm ) aluminium sheet separated by a space and a thicker Kevlar sheet.

Three years later the new stagecoach road from Boston to Newburyport ( Bay Road ) was laid out through the Whipple land.

According to William Whipple Warren's History of the Ojibway People ( 19xx ), Moningwunakuaning " is the spot on which the Ojibway tribe first grew, and like a tree it has spread its branches in every direction, in the bands that now occupy the vast extent of the Ojibway earth ; and also that ' it is the root from which all the far scattered villages of the tribe have sprung.

Shortly after Whipple predicted that dust particles travelled at low speeds relative to the comet, Milos Plavec was the first to offer the idea of a dust trail, when he calculated how meteroids, once freed from the comet, would drift mostly in front of or behind the comet after completing one orbit.

Broun stated that “ the substance of any two Zane Grey books could be written upon the back of a postage stamp .” T. K. Whipple praised a typical Grey novel as a modern version of the ancient Beowulf saga, “ a battle of passions with one another and with the will, a struggle of love and hate, or remorse and revenge, of blood, lust, honor, friendship, anger, grief — all of a grand scale and all incalculable and mysterious .” But he goes on to criticize Grey ’ s writing, “ His style, for example, has the stiffness which comes from an imperfect mastery of the medium.

However, she was discouraged from practicing surgery by Allen Whipple, the chair of surgery at CUCPS.

Originally known as a " meteor bumper " and now termed the Whipple shield, this consists of a thin foil film held a short distance away from the spacecraft's body.

The International Space Station ( ISS ) uses extensive Whipple shielding to protect itself from minor debris threats.

Whipple was returning from a trip to the grocery store when Bane and possibly Hera attacked her in the hallway.

Whipple died at San Francisco General Hospital ; the cause of death was " loss of blood from multiple traumatic injuries ( dog bite wounds )."< sup >( pp. 10, 28 )</ sup >

His works from the 1950s and ' 60s are regarded as classics of popular science and include The Conquest of Space 1949 ( with Chesley Bonestell ), The Conquest of the Moon ( with Wernher von Braun and Fred Whipple, 1953 ), and Beyond the Solar System ( 1964 ).

Ives, would in 1858 again return to the area after navigating a steamboat named the ' Explorer ' up the Colorado from south of Yuma northwards to Blacks Canyon at which point his party went ashore and attempted to go up into the Grand Canyon until the sheer cliffs prevented him from doing so, at which point he left the canyon and proceeded overland and someplace in the vicinity of the Grand Falls also known as the Chocolate falls on the Little Colorado, he picked up the Whipple trail from four years previously.

Fred Whipple in his The Mystery of Comets ( 1985, page 163 ) points out that Comet Encke's polar axis is only 5 degrees from its orbital plane: such an orientation is ideal to have presented a pinwheel like aspect to our ancestors when Encke was more active.

Recollecting his path from mathematics to astronomy, Whipple stated in a 1978 autobiography that his " mathematics major veered through physics and finally focused on astronomy where time, space, mathematics, and physics had a common meeting ground.

He also invented a " meteor bumper " or " Whipple shield ", which protects spacecraft from impact by small particles by vaporizing them.

* Working with John Adams Whipple, the Bonds pioneered astrophotography, taking the first daguerreotype image of a star ( Vega, in 1850 ) ever taken from America.

A ' Whipple ' is a possible surgery that is tried sometimes with this cancer.

The Whipple procedure is the most common attempted curative surgical treatment for cancers involving the head of the pancreas.

William Whipple, freed his slave Prince, having believed he could not fight for liberty and own a slave.

For spacecraft that spend the majority of their time in orbit, some variety of the Whipple shield has been almost universal for decades.

Whipple later moved to San Francisco, and came within seconds of qualifying for the U. S. 1996 Olympics team in track and field, for the 800 meters.

The trial court in this case, the San Francisco Superior Court, reinstated the conviction for second-degree murder, and on September 22, 2008, the court sentenced Marjorie Knoller to serve 15 years to life for the death of Diane Whipple.
