	James Dewar Biography \| World of Invention
		However, Dewar was not so much concerned with the mechanism of liquefying the gases as he was with studying their properties as they approached absolute zero.
		Dewar was the first person to produce a large quantity of liquid oxygen in 1885 but it was not until 1898 that he managed to liquify hydrogen gas.
		Dewar also worked with John Ambrose Fleming (who later invented the vacuum tube) from 1892 to 1895 to conduct a study of the electrical properties of supercooled gases.

	Robin Trower Home Page: James Dewar
		Tragically, James Dewar, best known as bassist and vocalist for Robin Trower and Stone The Crows, passed away on May 16, 2002.
		In many people's opinion, James Dewar was one of the best vocalists in rock and roll, and while there are many who are not familiar with his work, legions of fans maintain that Dewar's rich, powerful voice was among the best.
		I am a huge Jimmy Dewar fan, and feel as many other might--that James was unfairly robbed of his health, happiness and ultimately his life; and that his fans and friends were robbed of a dear person and an oustanding musician.

		In the 1870s he invented the Dewar flask (or thermos flask), using it in his studies of low temperatures and gas liquefaction.
		Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes managed to liquefy helium using Dewar's techniques in 1908, and Dewar was then able to achieve temperatures within a degree of absolute zero (273°C/459°F) by boiling helium at low pressure.
		Dewar also carried out work in spectroscopy, particularly concerned with the absorption spectra of metals.

	Book Review: James Dewar: Assumption-Based Planning
		Dewar claims to be an unwilling author, preferring to be a practical mathematician and consultant; but he writes clearly, fluently, and persuasively.
		Remarkably, Dewar lays aside all his mathematics and simply focusses on identifying which assumptions matter, ie are 'load-bearing' for the plan; and which could plausibly fail, ie are 'vulnerable'.
		A client said that it was better than many days of management consultancy; and to a requirements person, it is suggestive of a range of worthwhile and practical approaches.

		Dewar knew that a complete vacuum was a perfect insulator so, in 1892, he began fashioning double-walled glass containers and removing the air from the space in between.
		In an attempt for absolute zero, Dewar reduced the pressure within his flask but could only reach around 13 K. Although the pursuit of 0 K using hydrogen appeared to be fruitless, a new “permanent gas” had been discovered in 1895 that Dewar supposed might be a better candidate.

		Unpacking the idea of Long-Term Policy Analysis (LPTA), Dewar stated that "long-term" means "characterized by deep uncertainty"---typically including uncertainty at the systemic level (structure), uncertainty about likelihood of which way events might go, uncertainty about the migration of values, and uncertainty about what are proper goals.
		Both Dewar and David Lowenthal noted that policy makers find it much easier to take on known, existing problems that to work on emerging problems that are not defined yet.
		Dewar showed slides of a technique his center at RAND is developing to run models using thousands of scenarios, but what he was showing seemed incomprehensible, so the seminar group challenged it strongly.

		Dewar was born in Kincardine (Fife) and educated at the University of Edinburgh.
		Most famously he invented the vacuum flask, or Dewar flask (1892), which he built to maintain liquids at low tempertures, but is equally effective at keeping liquids hot.
		Dewar was also the first to demonstrate that metals conduct electricity better at very low temperatures, a discovery which led eventually to the use of superconductors in the computing industry.
