Eric Schroeder Papers, Archives Box Harvard Art Museum Archives, Harvard University, Cambridge MA (photograph: Imaging Department, © President and Fellows of Harvard College) Eric Schroeder was an outstanding art historian who made a particularly significant contribution to the study of medieval Persian architecture and book painting in the s and s, a time when these subjects were finding their feet in academe. He therefore played a significant role in the early historiography of the discipline of Islamic art history – for he did not confine his interests to Iran. His charismatic personality made a deep impression on his contemporaries, which included some of the great and the good of the literary world. His reputation depends largely on his writings; he never made his mark on a more than local stage either as a teacher or as a museum curator. Thus it is indeed a pity that his two major books were published in such limited editions1 that they failed to have the impact that they deserved; and this was all the more unfortunate since his output was characterised by quality * Special thanks are due to Dr Yuka Kadoi for generously putting at my disposal her deep knowledge of archival sources, and to Dr Kim Masteller for astute and perceptive criticism. 1 Persian Miniatures in the Fogg Museum of Art (Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press, ) had a print run of ; see S. Cary Welch, ‘Eric Schroeder’, Acquisitions (Fogg Art Museum) ( - ), The print run of Muhammad’s People was also very small. Basil Gray noted that ‘Unfortunately for students in Britain, both these books were published in very small editions and are hardly to be found here, even in University libraries’ (‘Obituary. Eric Schroeder’, Iran, IX, , viii). Robert Hillenbrand Eric Schroeder: maverick polymath rather than quantity. He opera

Bio
Axel Brunger received his Physics Diploma at the University of Hamburg in , and his Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Munich in working with Klaus Schulten. He held a NATO postdoctoral fellowship and subsequently became a research associate with Martin Karplus at the Department of Chemistry, Harvard University. In he joined the faculty in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University. In , he moved to Stanford University where he is Professor and Chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology. He also holds an appointment as Investigator in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In he was awarded the Röntgen Prize for Biosciences from the University of Würzburg. In , he received the Gregori Aminoff Award of the Royal Swedish Academy. In he was elected member of the National Academy of Sciences. In he received the DeLano Award of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, in he received the Bernard Katz Award of the Biophysical Society, and the Carl Hermann Medal of the German Crystallographic Society, and in he received the Trueblood Award of the American Crystallographic Association. In he was elected member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. The disinfectant market continued to expand in and according to Transparency Market Research’s latest report, the global surface disinfectant market, valued at US$ million in , is projected to reach $ billion by , at a compound annual growth rate of %. This growth is largely driven by an increased awareness around cleanliness and hygiene, as well as more stringent requirements from regulatory authorities. One of last year’s most instructive articles on disinfection was that published in the October edition, written by Axel Schroeder, Operations Director, Concept Heidelberg. He looked at the compliance requirements for cleanroom disinfectants, based on their classification and use. He also discussed some of the myths surrounding the need for wet surfaces during disinfectant exposure times and he gave an interpretation of what the current guidelines say on this matter. The September edition reported on an educational booklet — The Pharmaceutical Lab’s Pocket Guide to Cleanroom Decontamination — that UK supplier of bio-decontamination, environmental monitoring and process validation products, Cherwell Laboratories had published. The guide provides cleanroom operators and laboratory personnel with an overview of cleanroom decontamination technologies, aiming to help them understand the complex protocols and heavily regulated procedures associated with pharmaceutical cleanrooms. The guide includes an overview of cleanroom disinfectants, decontamination techniques, decontamination devices and systems that deliver quicker, safer cleanroom decontamination. Understanding the complex protocols and regulations in place is important, and a series of studies, published in July by the Diversey Care division, demonstrated that ineffective use of disinfectants can have worrying results. New studies, conducted in collaboration with Purdue University, focussed on the bactericidal efficacy of disinfectants .
Early in his career, Brunger began developing tools for interpreting x-ray crystallography diffraction data. Scientists use x-ray crystallography to determine molecular structures by crystallizing the molecules and then bombarding them with x-rays. From the data produced by the diffracted x-rays, scientists can calculate a three-dimensional model of the molecule. Brunger’s powerful computational methodology revolutionized structural calculation, accelerating its automation and making protein crystallography acces Sourcing effective and user-friendly cleaning solutions
