He describes how these interests developed into his activities in the field of electron-spin-resonance (ESR) over the past 50 years at Cornell, wherein he and his co-workers have laid the foundation of modern ESR, both theoretical and experimental, and its applications in chemistry and biophysics. The interview was conducted by colleague and collaborator, Professor Brian Crane. Running time: 98 minutes.

Plane Authors: Plane, Robert A.; Hughes, Robert Abstract: Robert A. Plane, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, discussed his multifaceted, distinguished career with colleague Robert Hughes on September 8, 2012. He described his path into chemistry, how he came to co-author with Michell J. Sienko multiple textbooks in chemistry (including the famous text, Chemistry), his view on the future role of textbooks, his research interests and then his also distinguished career as an administrator. As an administrator Plane became Chair of the Chemistry Department at Cornell, Provost of the University while Dale Corson was president, President of Clarkson University, Director of the NYS Agricultural Experiment Station (Geneva) and President of Wells College. In retirement he became a vintner–extending his long-term hobby and his work at the NYS Experiment Station.

Sogah Authors: Sogah, Dotsevi Y.; Hoffmann, Roald (Interviewer) Abstract: The research interests of Professor Dotsevi Y. Sogah, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, are in nanotechnology, biomaterials, electronic materials, biodegradable materials, and environmentally benign materials. He is best known for his discovery of a group transfer polymerization process – a fundamentally new method for polymer production. This process, which was listed among the inventions of the millennium in the US, has been commercialized by DuPont Company. It revolutionized the ink-jet printing system and found applications in the automotive industry and photoresists in the electronics industry.; Beginning in 1980 Sogah worked at the DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware where he was a research manager for polymer science. In 1991 Cornell University took an exceptional step of appointing him directly as full professor with indefinite tenure. He has served on numerous editorial boards and on many select government committees. He consults and lectures widely. At Cornell Professor Sogah teaches both broad (and popular) undergraduate courses, as well as advanced polymer chemistry courses. This talented and accomplished professor is interviewed by Professor Emeritus Roald Hoffmann.; In addition to the 55-minute dialog, supplementary resources include a biographical sketch, a curriculum vitae, and some general-audience news articles. A streaming version is provided as well as several formats suitable for mobile devices.

Using a formal‐semantic model of the content of pictures, it is argued that depicted objects are existentially quantified, and are identified post-­semantically. A DRT model for pictorial narratives is proposed where discourse referents are constructed as areas of a picture. Description: To appear in proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung 17.
