hallmarks in the study of respiratory physiology and the crucial role of antoine laurent de Lavoisier 1743 1794
American Journal of Physiology-lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2013Co-Authors: Marianna Karamanou, Gregory Tsoucalas, George AndroutsosAbstract:From the early 17th century the advent of physical and chemical sciences developed two important movements toward the explanation of all vital phenomena: the Iatrochemical and Iatromechanical Schools. The important research of their representatives such as Jan Baptist van Helmont, John Mayow, Robert Boyle, Gian Alfonso Borelli, Richard Lower, and Albrecht von Haller, followed by the discovery of the atmospheric gases, provided a fecund soil for the leading work of Lavoisier in respiratory physiology.

antoine laurent de Lavoisier 1743 1794 and the birth of respiratory physiology
Thorax, 2013Co-Authors: Marianna Karamanou, George AndroutsosAbstract:Background For more than 1500 years, the status of knowledge concerning the physiology of human respiration has remained almost unchanged. In the 18th century, the French chemist Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier conducted breathing experiments on human and animal respiration. Methods The main bibliographic sources concerning Lavoisier9s life and work on respiration have been investigated and analysed. Results Using an ice-calorimeter, Lavoisier proved that combustion and respiration were one and the same. He also measured the oxygen consumed during respiration and concluded that the amount changes depending on human activities: exercise, eating, fasting, and sitting in a warm or cold room. Moreover, he found variations in pulse and breathing rate. Conclusions Lavoisier9s work on respiration is of great historical significance as it represents the first effort to measure human respiratory gas metabolism contributing significantly to the development of respiratory physiology.

the collaboration of antoine and marie anne Lavoisier and the first measurements of human oxygen consumption
American Journal of Physiology-lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2013Co-Authors: John B WestAbstract:Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794) was one of the most eminent scientists of the late 18th century. He is often referred to as the father of chemistry, in part because of his book Elementary Treatise on...

Lavoisier s achievement more than a chemical revolution
Ambix, 2009Co-Authors: Maurice CroslandAbstract:Abstract The Chemical Revolution of the late eighteenth century consisted essentially of combustion being explained by the addition of oxygen rather than by the removal of phlogiston. This has been seen as the “paradigm shift” of a scientific revolution in the familiar Kuhnian sense. Yet Lavoisier helped to change chemistry in several other ways as well, particularly by the introduction of a new chemical language. This reorganisation of chemistry, at a time when it was being swamped with many new substances, has great similarity to the slightly earlier systematisation of botany by Linnaeus through the introduction of a binomial nomenclature. A further parallel in the late eighteenth century was the introduction of the metric system, which also introduced a new language. Yet, however one understands the Chemical Revolution, Lavoisier clearly made an enormous difference, not only to the internal science of chemistry, but also to its status. By the end of the 1700s, chemistry had become something of a model ...

research schools of chemistry from Lavoisier to wurtz
The British Journal for the History of Science, 2003Co-Authors: Maurice CroslandAbstract:The group which worked with Lavoisier in his laboratory also collaborated with him in publication and jointly edited the journal Annales de chimie. It has a good claim to be considered as a research school. Most historians of chemistry, who have studied the ‘chemical revolution’ in France, have focused uniquely on Lavoisier, giving scant attention to his co-workers and ignoring his assistants, thus overlooking their collective research, which created something of a precedent for nineteenth-century science. It has also been too easily assumed that the Lavoisier story ends with his death in 1794. After his demise, continuity with his ideas and method of working was provided by his former associates, particularly Berthollet in the Society of Arcueil. Further continuity was provided by the successive careers of Gay-Lussac, Dumas and Wurtz. In an increasing spirit of nationalism in the nineteenth century there developed a strong French tradition which looked back to Lavoisier as the founder of modern chemistry and a source of inspiration for collaboration in chemical research.

MOFs, MILs and more: concepts, properties and applications for porous coordination networks (PCNs)
New Journal of Chemistry, 2010Co-Authors: Christoph Janiak, Jana K. ViethAbstract:This review (over 380 references) summarizes metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), Materials Institute Lavoisier (MILs), iso-reticular metal–organic frameworks (IR-MOFs), porous coordination networks (PCNs), zeolitic metal–organic frameworks (ZMOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with selected examples of their structures, concepts for linkers, syntheses, post-synthesis modifications, metal nanoparticle formations in MOFs, porosity and zeolitic behavior for applications in gas storage for hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and applications in conductivity, luminescence and catalysis.
