Cabot Corporation - Wikipedia

Cabot Corporation was founded by Godfrey Lowell Cabot in 1882 when he applied for a patent for a "carbon black making apparatus".The company incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1960. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabot_Cor…
The key patents having to do with natural gas liquefaction were in 1915 and the mid-1930s. In 1915 Godfrey Cabot patented a method for storing liquid gases at very low temperatures. It consisted of a Thermos bottle type design which included a cold inner tank within an outer
tank; the tanks being separated by insulation. In 1937 Lee Twomey received patents for a process for large scale liquefaction of natural gas
It is uncertain when the first crude oil pipeline was built.[4] Credit for the development of pipeline transport is disputed,[citation needed] with competing claims for Vladimir Shukhov and the Branobel company in the late 19th century, and the Oil Transport Association,
which first constructed a 2-inch (51 mm) wrought iron pipeline over a 6-mile (9.7 km) track from an oil field in Pennsylvania to a railroad station in Oil Creek, in the 1860s. The Petroleum Production Company Nobel Brothers, Limited, or Branobel (short for братьев Нобель
"brat'yev Nobel" — "Nobel Brothers" in Russian), was an oil company set up by Ludvig Nobel and Baron Peter von Bilderling. It operated mainly in Baku, Azerbaijan, but also in Cheleken, Turkmenistan. The Nobel Brothers Petroleum Company was an oil-producing company that had its
origins in a distillery, founded by Robert and Ludvig Nobel in Baku in 1876, which, in 1879, turned into a shareholding company headquartered in St. Petersburg. The share capital of three million rubles was divided as follows: 53,7% Ludwig Nobel, 31,0% Baron Peter von
Bilderling, 4,7% I.J. Zabelskiv, 3,8% Alfred Nobel, 3,3% Robert Nobel, 1,7% au Baron Alexandre von Bilderling. Pipeline transport was pioneered near Baku by Vladimir Shukhov and the Branobel company in 1878–1880. On 28 April 1920, the Bolsheviks seized power in Baku and
Branobel's oil business in Azerbaijan was nationalized. In May 1920, the Nobel family sold almost half the Branobel's shares in its possession to Standard Oil of New Jersey. At the time it was considered uncertain whether the Bolshevik regime would last and the negotiation led
by Gustaf Nobel, on one side, and Walter C. Teagle, on the other, proved to be a profitable masterstroke for the Nobel family.[4]
Branobel was formally dissolved in 1959 and its last President was Nils Nobel-Oleinikoff, son of Marta Nobel-Oleinikoff and grandson of Ludvig Nobel.

Louis Bastien (Esperantist) - Wikipedia

In the belief that this fever (now known as malaria) was waterborne, soldiers were ordered to drink only boiled water.

It was not till three years later that Sir Ronald Ross conclusively determined that the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Bas…
cause of malaria is a parasite transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito.

In 2016, a CRISPR-Cas9 gene drive system was proposed to eradicate Anopheles gambiae, by deleting the dsx gene, causing female sterility.

Doublesex (dsx) is a gene that is involved in the sex determination
system of many insects including the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
