Joseph J. Kaufman: renaissance man.

Joseph J. Kaufmanwas born inNewHaven,Connecticut, on February 10, 1921 toKarl andTiny Kaufman. The family moved shortly thereafter to open a millinery shop in Worcester, Massachusetts. As a child of first-generation Jewish Romanians, his life in Blue Collar, Worcester, was challenging. Kaufman and his friends took turns “on patrol” whenwalking home from school to protect themselves from anti-Se...

Physical Chemistry Laboratory Molecular Weight of a Vapor

The molecular weight of ethyl acetate was determined in this experiment using a formula derived from the ideal gas law and experimental measurements of mass, volume, temperature and pressure of the sample. The molecular weight was determined to be 50 g/mol +/10% (RSD). This value compares unfavorably to the literature value of 88 g/mol [1]. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The experiment was performed us...

Three Decades of Continuous Records for Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL)

The Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL) was established in 1986 at Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IBB), University of Tehran as the main base and the mother of biophysical chemistry in Iran. BCL is a famous worldwide research lab in the area of thermodynamics of protein denaturation and biomacromolecular interaction. The first student that joined BCL was MSc student in 1987, while...

Laboratory diagnostic methods of malaria infection

Malaria is one of the most important tropical infectious diseases. The incidence of malaria worldwide is estimated to be 300–500 million clinical cases each year with a mortality of between one and three million people worldwide annually. The accurate and timely diagnosis of malaria infection is essential if severe complications and mortality are to be reduced by early specific antimalarial tre...
