Reference excerpt

Ulma Doyle Register (4 February 1920 – 17 July 1997) was an American biochemist, nutritionist, Seventh-day Adventist and vegetarianism activist known for his research on Vitamin B12. He was chairman of the Department of Nutrition at Loma Linda University School of Public Health.

Biography Register was born in West Monroe, Louisiana. He studied chemical engineering at Louisiana State University and obtained a B.S. degree from Madison College, Tennessee in 1942 and his M.S. degree from Vanderbilt University in 1944. He worked as a food chemist for Madison Foods, a company which manufactured meat alternatives. During his time at the company he became a vegetarian which he adopted for the rest of his life. He married Helen Hite in 1942. They had 3 daughters. His wife was a nutritionist at the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health. In 1950, Register obtained a Ph.D. in biochemistry from University of Wisconsin and established a Vitamin B12 laboratory at Tulane University. In 1951, he joined Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists Department of Biochemistry. In 1968, he became chair of the Department of Nutrition at the School of Public Health. His research demonstrated the nutritional adequacy of correctly formulated vegetarian diets, including essential amino acids. During 1944–1992 he authored 62 scientific papers on nutrition. Register died from an accidental fall at his home in Loma Linda, California on 17 July 1997. The 1997 Third International Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition hosted by the Loma Linda University School of Public Health, Department of Nutrition recognized Register for his research on vegetarian diets. After his death, the School of Public Health established the U.D. Register Nutrition Research Fund.

Vegetarianism In 1972, Register was invited to speak on vegetarian diets at the 55th annual meeting of the American Dietetic Association and at their request he co-authored an education manual for dietitians on vegetarian diets. In 1974, he was invited by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council to write their statement on vegetarian diets. In 1981, Register co-authored The Vegetarian Diet: Food For Us All with Lydia Sonnenberg and Kathleen Zolber, published by the American Dietetic Association. In 1987, he attended Loma Linda University’s First International Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition. Register was one of seven reviewers for the 1988 position of the American Dietetic Association on vegetarian diets.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ulma Doyle Register

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ulma Doyle Register claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ulma Doyle Register before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ulma Doyle Register ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ulma Doyle Register

In research: Ulma Doyle Register appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ulma Doyle Register in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ulma Doyle Register is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1920 births, 1997 deaths, 20th-century American biochemists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ulma Doyle Register outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
