Their range reveals the diversity of Mr. Sondheim's art, for all the consistency that underlies it: his haikulike musical materials, his enormously clever way with words (which makes ready appreciation of his work abroad, or ready translation, almost impossible), his impassioned seriousness of intent, his brilliance in finding collaborators, particularly book authors, to flesh out his ideas.
These materials have enormously large and highly reactive surface area, so these materials exhibit some unique properties in comparison to bulk materials.
In recent years, the demand on nanostructured materials increased enormously not only because of the miniaturization of devices but also because of the appearance of modified physical properties of nanosized objects compared to their bulk material.
"Because it happened so suddenly and in such a remote area, having the extra iReport material was enormously helpful," says Mark Whitaker, managing editor of CNN.
In a properly designed and constructed building, insulating material contributes enormously to energy savings for the heating and cooling of buildings (about 60%).
Over the past 30 years, the writing and design of postgraduate courses and learning materials has changed enormously as universities have realised distance learners need much more than a tutor who marks assignments and sends them back.
As the mineral is so small at nanoscale, the volume fraction of the protein mineral interface in the bulk materials can be enormously large; therefore, the mechanics of the interface should be critically important for the integrity of these biomaterials.
This grand challenge is often much too narrowly couched in terms of the development of radiation damage resistant materials, while the enormously larger challenge is the creation of material systems and multifunctional structures.
Yet one need go no further than the 1992 Susan Sarandon film "Lorenzo's Oil" to know that this type of material can be enormously powerful if handled with unblinking intelligence and passion.
The potential for the molecular analysis of human genetic material has increased enormously with the availability of the human genome sequence, SNP identification efforts and the development of high-throughput genotyping platforms [ 1].
