Foreword: David Fischer, The Fox(a)
No full textIt is my great pleasure to pen a few words in honor of my friend and fellow laborer in the torts vineyard, Professor David Fischer. Professor Fischer has been an intellectual force in the modem development of tort law. He has made us think hard about the implications of tort rules. He is in the intellectual tradition of a splitter, and not a lumper, in his scholarship., Most of scholarship in modem tort law falls into the lumper camp. It is scholarship that looks at tort rules as encapsulating wider models that serve certain instrumental ends, or as part of a non-consequential system of norms; for example, law and economics has taken tort rules to reflect a system of rules that serve efficiency. Others view the rules as part of a system of private law that instantiates corrective justice. Contrary rules are diminished and common themes emphasized. Even when discussing discrete aspects of tort law, most modem scholars are lumpers in applying broad theoretical frameworks to fit those aspects. The most talked of aspect has been the duty concept in negligence. While the debate can be traced to the Palsgraf case, it has been given new life by the scholarship of Keating, Goldberg and Zipursky. The issue that separates these scholars derives from their views about the function of tort liability. David Fischer is a splitter. He takes present or evolving doctrines and puts them under a powerful analytical microscope for examination. In so doing, he reveals differences, internal flaws, paradoxes and problems, and revels in the complexity. David Fischer, although not without strong views about the theoretical groundings of tort law, proposes no meta-theories. Instead, he does the hard work on the inside that, in the end, uncovers the problems and dilemmas for courts as they go about their business of ascribing responsibility for wrongful acts. He is the fox of tort law

Fischer family collection 1903-1964; 2013
No full textThe Fischer Family Collection documents the family history and lives of several children of Felix (Feivel) and Clara (Chaya) Fischer. Prominent are Fanny (Frima or Frime), Laura (Libe) and Max Fischer.Information on the family in general will be found in the first folder of the collection, which contains copies of scanned photographs of the family, all identified, and a narrative history of the family. Official documents include a passport, residence certificate, and educational certificates for Fanny Fischer Skaletzky and for her sister Laura, whose papers also include a handwritten cookbook. Two folders hold texts of then Corporal Max Fischer on the use of telegraphs and telephones in the Austrian infantry, such as a handwritten manual from 1907-1908 and similar texts a decade later during World War I. Joseph Fischer's papers document his death in 1917 and gravesite.Felix (Feivel) Fischer (died 1933) and Clara (Chaya) née Scheiner (died 1925 in NY) had 6 children: Regina; Max; Libe (Laura); Joseph; David; and Fanny (Frime). Feivel and Chaya immigrated to the United States in 1921.Regina Fischer married Cassel Hartenstein in Austria and immigrated to the United States with their daughter Antoinette (Toni), ca. 1920.Joseph Fischer fought in WW I and was killed in 1917 at age 26.David Fischer and Fanny Fischer immigrated to the United States in 1921, joining their sister Regina. David died soon after from a brain tumor. They all settled in New York. Fanny Fischer, a milliner, married Julius Skaletzky in 1926; they had two daughters, Claire (later Glasser) and Diana. Fanny became legally blind and died 1991 in New Jersey.Max Fischer and Laura Fischer together with their parents, joined their sisters Regina and Fanny in New York in 1921. Max had served in WW I. He lived with his sister Laura in NY until his death in 1958. Laura then joined her niece Claire in NJ, where she lived until 1970.Processeddigitize
FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS ON HYDROPHOBIC CATALYSTS IN BIPHASIC MEDIA
No full textFischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis stands out as a relevant alternative technology for the production of liquid fuels. Natural gas, coal, biomass and other carbon-containing raw materials can be converted to syngas (CO and H2), that in turn is fed to Fischer-Tropsch reactors, to produce a wide range of hydrocarbon products. Various reactor systems have been developed and tested successfully for their utilization in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. High-temperature reactors are typically designed to obtain high concentrations of branched hydrocarbons and alcohols while low-temperature reactors primarily produce high concentrations of linear alkanes and alkenes. Low-temperature reactors, typically slurry bubble column or multi-tubular, have shown great promise for further developments in industrial applications due to advantages such as efficient heat transfer, uniform temperatures, reduced diffusion limitations, high catalyst productivity, ease of catalyst regeneration, and low costs. At conditions of low temperature, FT products are present in the liquid phase. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the effects of liquid media on the activity and selectivity of these FT reactors.
Fischer-Tropsch in biphasic media benefits from the present of liquid water that enhances FT rates and the organic phase that solubilizes hydrocarbon products facilitating product separation. Interestingly, effects of organic phases on FT rates have not been discussed extensively. In this dissertation, the influence organic solvents and catalyst hydrophobicity on FT is investigated in single organic and biphasic aqueous/organic systems . A systematic study of catalyst hydrophobicity on FT rates with various supports is carried out and trends in acitivity and selectivity are discussed based on mechanistic insights recently presented in the literature
