Mol, the Hungarian oil company, did this when taking over Slovnaft, its counterpart in Slovakia.
For comparison, the Earth's magnetic field is about 0.00007 T. At a magnetic-field strength of 1.4 T, the energy difference between the lower and higher energy states of a 1H proton nucleus is only 0.024 J mol-1.
He also comments in "My Own Life" that the Treatise's lack of success "proceeded more from the manner than the matter"—more from the structure of what he said than what he said (MOL 8).
Despite his surgical deletions, it attracted enough of "a Murmour among the Zealots" (MOL 6) to fuel his lifelong reputation as an atheist and a sceptic.

As oil giants such as Royal Dutch/Shell cut into its share of domestic retail sales, now 43%, MOL fought back by becoming central Europe's leading oil firm.
Considering it is MOL that is already busily consolidating, that is a bit rich.
It chose to concentrate exploration and production in Siberia, through a joint venture with Yukos of Russia (see article).Alas, its price-capped gas business has eaten into profits from refining, saddling MOL with huge debts and tarnishing its image among investors.
The government also chose to list Mol and OTP rather than sell stakes to strategic investors.The Czech Republic, having seen many privatised companies delist for lack of investor interest, might be able to revive enthusiasm by floating a small equity slice of companies it has privatised recently.
Although the region's blue chips, such as Mol and Poland's KGHM, are listed in London or Luxembourg, the share price is still determined locally and most of the trading is done on the spot.However, because of the consolidation of exchanges in Europe, and the growing share of institutional trading, Central European exchanges will be increasingly isolated unless they have links into the West.
Next in line for its attention will be Poland's valuable oil market.A communist-era monopolist that went public in 1993, MOL revamped its management and operations in the late 1990s.
