Andrew Rohl. Andrew Rohl (born 1966) is a computational chemist, computer scientist and data scientist. He is an expert in the application of supercomputing and computer simulation technologies in materials chemistry, particularly the computer simulation of surfaces.

Rohl graduated from The University of Western Australia in 1987 with 1st Class Honours in Physical and Organic Chemistry. He completed a D. Phil in inorganic chemistry at Oxford University in 1991. He undertook postdoctoral work at the Royal Institution of Great Britain modelling the interactions between organic molecules and inorganic surfaces. This project required the development of the computer code MARVIN for modelling periodic surfaces, and this code is still in widespread use. A second postdoc at Oxford University followed.

Rohl was appointed a professor of Computational Science at Curtin University in 2007 and a John Curtin Distinguished Professor in 2019. He was seconded as executive director of the high-performance computing facility iVEC between 2004 and 2012 and Director of the Curtin Institute for Computation 2015–2020. He is a research director of the ARC Industrial Training Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science and currently Head of the School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Curtin University.

Toshiba Pasopia. Toshiba Pasopia is a computer from manufacturer Toshiba, released in 1981 and based around a Zilog Z80 microprocessor. This is not to be confused with the Toshiba Pasopia IQ, a similar named line of MSX compatible computers.

There are two models, the PA7010 and the PA7012. PA7010 comes with T-BASIC, a version of Microsoft BASIC. PA7012 comes with the more powerful built-in operating system - OA-BASIC developed by Toshiba, capable of sequential file access and automated loading of programs.
The keyboard has 90 keys, a separate numeric keypad and eight function keys. The machine could be expanded with disk drives, extra RAM and offered a RS-232 and a parallel printer port.

In 1982 the machine was sold on the American market as Toshiba T100. It had an optional LCD screen (with 320 x 64  resolution) that fitted into the keyboard. Two CRT monitors were available: a 13" green monochrome, and 15" RGB color.
1982 models came with T-BASIC version 1.1.

The machine supported cartridge-type peripherals called PAC, RAM packs with battery backup, Kanji ROM packs and joystick ports. Pascal and OA-BASIC cartridges were on sale.

In 1983 Toshiba released the Pasopia 5 and Pasopia 7,  intended as successors to the original Pasopia.

A dedicated magazine, named "Oh! Pasopia" was published in Japan between 1983 and 1987.

Toshiba Pasopia 16. Toshiba Pasopia 16 or PA7020  (also known as T300 in the U.S. and PAP in Europe) is an IBM PC compatible computer from manufacturer Toshiba, released in 1982 and based around a Intel 8088-2 microprocessor running at 6 MHz.

Details
The operating system was MS-DOS 2.3 with CP/M-86 as an option. The machine included GW-BASIC, communication (Pap.Com) and graphics (Pap.Graph) software.
The computer came with two 5.25" disk drives and supported an optional 8087 co-processor.

Two graphic cards were available: a Color Graphic Card with 128KB and 8 colors; an Extended Graphic Card with 256KB of memory and 16 colors out of 256.
Several graphics modes are possible: , ,  and .

The European PAP model had a SCART connector with RGB output. A green monochrome monitor was also available. Possible peripherals for this model are extra 5.25" disk drives, a hard disk, a RS-232 interface and a printer. The keyboard has 103 keys.

Other models

Toshiba Pasopia 1600 
An expanded model, the Toshiba Pasopia 1600 (PA7030) was released in 1984. The basic specifications are the same as the base model, but the CPU is an Intel 8086-2 running at 8 MHz, and graphic memory was expanded to 384 KB. The machine is smaller and the number of expansion slots was reduced to two. A mouse and JS-WORD came as standard equipment, along with a screen editor software. Several types of floppy and hard drives were available.

Pasopia 1600 TS100 / 300 
Another variation was the Pasopia 1600 TS100 / 300 with a 80286 CPU running at 8 MHz and 704 KB of RAM. It came with MS-DOS 2.11, two 5.25" floppy disk drives (TS100 version) or a single 5.25" floppy disk drive and a 20 MB hard drive (TS300 version). After this, Toshiba starts the J-3100 series of personal computers.

Halcon process. In chemistry, the Halcon process refers to technology for the production of propylene oxide by oxidation of propylene with  tert-butyl hydroperoxide.  The reaction requires metal catalysts, which typically contain molybdenum:
(CH3)3COOH  +  CH2=CHCH3  → (CH3)3COH  +  CH2OCHCH3 
The byproduct tert-butanol is recycled or converted to other useful compounds.  The process once operated at the scale of >2 billion kg/y.

The lighter analogue of propylene oxide, ethylene oxide, is produced by silver-catalyzed reaction of ethylene with oxygen.  Attempts to implement this relatively simple technology to the conversion of propylene to propylene oxide fail.  Instead only combustion predominates.  The problems are attributed to the sensitivity of allylic C-H bonds.

Mechanism
The oxidation is thought to proceed by formation of Mo(η2-O2-tert-Bu) complexes.  The peroxy O center is rendered highly electrophilic, leading to attack on the alkene.

History
The Halcon process was developed by Halcon International.

Methyl hydroperoxide. Methyl hydroperoxide is the organic compound with the formula CH3OOH.  It is a volaltile colorless liquid.  In addition to being of theoretical interest as the simplest organic hydroperoxide, methyl hydroperoxide is an intermediate in the oxidation of methane. When condensed or in concentrated form methyl hydroperoxide is rather explosive, unlike tertiary hydroperoxides such as tert-butylhydroperoxide.  Its laboratory preparation was first reported in 1929.

Felix Wormser. Felix Edgar Wormser (died June 29, 1981) was an American engineering and former government official who served as Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Mineral Resources in the United States Department of the Interior from 1954 to 1957.

Biography
Wormser was born in Santa Barbara, California and graduated from Columbia University, where he received a degree in mining engineering in 1916 from the Columbia School of Mines. At Columbia, he was a member of the men's varsity crew team.

He was employed by the United States Bureau of Mines until 1919, when he served in the United States Army. From 1920 to 1925, Wormser was a member of the editorial staff of McGraw Hill. He then worked as a consulting mining engineer from 1925 to 1947. He was a trustee of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers from 1940 to 1945.

Wormser was secretary-treasurer of the Lead Industries Association and vice president of St. Joe Minerals from 1947 to 1953, when he was appointed Assistant Secretary for Mineral Resources by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Wormser was a close associate of President Eisenhower when he led Columbia University as president. He was a member of the board of trustees of Columbia and was tapped by Eisenhower to head a $12 million fundraising drive for an engineering center, which he belied was vital due to a lack of engineering and technical personnel in the United States vis-a-vis the Soviet Union.

In 1956, he received the Thomas Egleston Medal from Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science, the highest award bestowed to alumni and graduates of the school.

He died at his home in Greenwich, Connecticut on June 29, 1981. He was 86 years old and was survived by his wife, two daughters, and nine grandchildren.
