Poets Diane Wakoski and Jerome Rothenberg read their selected works at the Michigan Writers Series
No full textDistinguished Professor Diane Wakoski, Michigan State University Poet in Residence, joins her longtime friend, acclaimed poet Jerome Rothenberg, in a reading at the MSU Main Library. The two authors read in turn, choosing poems based upon their warm personal friendship and the spirit of the gathering. Rothenberg opens with a series of six prose poems titled, Poems for the hell of hungry ghosts, for D.W., written for Wakoski during their collaboration in New York in the early 1960s. Wakoski reads El camino real (The Kings Highway), written in honor of Rothenberg's sixtieth birthday. Wakoski also reads from Coins and coffins, and her newest book, The diamond dog and Rothenberg reads from a series of poems honoring his Jewish-Polish ancestry. The event, part of the MSU Libraries' Michigan Writers Series, marks the first time in over twenty-five years that the two friends have read together. They are introduced by MSU Librarian Michael Rodriguez
The Basics
No full textPorous materials is a fascinating field. In the past, pores were considered defects in the solid structure, but since their first dedicated use in 17th century, porous materials have become increasingly important in separation, reaction, and energy storage. A vast literature on the topic has described the materials themselves, characterized them, and studied their transport and functions. The number of research works in the field of porous materials is growing fast, and, as in many other fields of science and engineering, things are sometimes rediscovered or reinvented. New information flows in, and needs to be summarized, arranged and distributed in a timely manner. The last comprehensive reference work on the topic, Handbook of Porous Solids, was published in 2002. Since then, there have been important developments in several emerging fields. The aim of this Handbook of Porous Materials (In 4 Volumes), is to provide a comprehensive yet handy and understandable update on the state-of-the-art in the synthesis, characterisation, and applications of porous materials in the 21st century

Catalysis, God's Algorithm, and the Green Demon
No full textWaarom gooide God Adam en Eva uit het paradijs? Wilde hij voorkomen dat het tweetal toegang kreeg tot zijn algoritme? Kan een verkleinde, menselijke versie van dit algoritme het grootste chemische bedrijf ter wereld helpen om een goede katalysator te vinden voor de reactie dat het meedraagt in zijn naam? Gadi Rothenberg behandelt deze vragen in zijn oratie en bespreekt bovendien of Newtons wetten van de zwaartekracht in het geheim worden gecontroleerd door 'de groene duivel'. De voertaal van oratie is Engels
