Computing

S A statistical analysis language from AT&T. ["S: An Interactive Environment for Data Analysis and Graphics", Richard A. Becker, Wadsworth 1984]. (1997-01-21) s/// s/foo/bar/ is an idiom which means "I didn't mean to type 'foo', I meant to type 'bar'". Its use in talk systems, especially irc, comes from the use of s/// as a substitution operator in Perl, sed and ed. In these languages and tools, s/foo/bar/ would replace any substring matching the regular expression "foo" with the string "bar". (1997-03-16). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.

Literature

S
S You have crossed your S (French). You have cheated me in your account; you have charged me pounds where you ought to have charged shillings, or shillings where you ought to have charged pence. In the old French accounts, f (= s) stood for sous or pence, and f for francs. To cross your f meant therefore to turn it fraudulently into f. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

As of October 29, 2003, 2,995 people were presumed dead as a result of all four September 11 attacks. This includes the casualties at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, on the airplanes and the hijackers.

Planes

265 people killed on four planes; 232 passengers, 25 flight attendants, 8 pilots. (Note that this total includes the 19 hijackers, who reportedly boarded the planes as passengers.)

World Trade Center

By October 29, 2003, 2605 people were listed as confirmed dead and 1058 bodies had been identified. (Note: this total does not include the 127 passengers and 20 crew on the two aircraft or the 10 hijackers).

The listing and memorial.

Missing Persons

The number of missing people grew to estimates as high as over 6000 in the months following the attack, but steadily declined as stories were checked and duplicate entries removed. (See Timeline of WTC missing).

As of August 2002, there were approximately 90 people who were officially missing; that is, their remains had not been identified and no family members had requested a death certificate.

Detailed listing.

Survivors

The great majority of the over 40,000 people working at the World Trade Center at the time of the attack evacuated safely, including 18 who escaped from above the impact zone in the second tower hit. By 9/20/2001 6291 people, including rescue and recovery workers, had been treated for injuries.

Detailed listing.

Pentagon

The Pentagon reports 125 staffers killed or missing, with 121 remains recovered and identified, as of Sept. 11, 2002. At least one person died later as a result of wounds incurred.

The listing and memorial.

Missing Persons

The Pentagon reports 4 staffers missing. One passenger on the airliner which hit the Pentagon was also never identified.

Detailed listing.

Survivors

88 treated at hospital.

Detailed entry.

Victim legends

Due to the very large number of World Trade Center casualties and missing persons, victim legends were a common form of September 11, Terrorist Attack urban legends. These were tales of victims who did not exist, spread by word-of-mouth and the Internet. Official sites, such as http://www.september11victims.com, contain accurate entries and are trusted content. Because Wikipedia, and many other websites allowed freely adding victims, there were no doubt many obvious fake entries. Fake victims added to these lists were often simply missing at the time of the attacks, or actually survivors of the attacks.

S

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

S is the nineteenth letter in the modern Latin alphabet.

Semitic Šîn (bow) was pronounced as /S/ as the modern English digraph SH. In Greek, there was only one phoneme /s/ and no /S/, so Greek σιγμα (sigma) came to represent the Greek /s/ phoneme. The name "sigma" probably comes from the Semitic letter "Sâmek" and not "Šîn". In Etruscan and Latin, the /s/ value was maintained, and only in modern languages, S came to represent other sounds, like /S/ in Hungarian or /z/ in English, French and German (in English rise; in French lisez, "read! (imperative pl.)"; in German lesen "to read").

An archaic alternative form of s, ſ, called the long s or medial s, was used at the beginning or in the middle of the word; the modern form, the short or terminal s, was used at the end of the word. The ligature of ſs became the German ess-tsett ( ß ).

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

SAMPA

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

SAMPA, for Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet, is a computer-readable phonetic script using 7-bit printable ASCII characters, based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

It was originally developed in the late 1980s for six European languages by the EEC ESPRIT information technology research and development program. As many symbols as possible have been taken over from the IPA; where this is not possible, other signs that are available are used, e.g. [@] for schwa, [2] for the vowel sound found in French deux and [9] for the vowel sound found in French neuf.

Today, officially, SAMPA has been developed for all the sounds of the following languages:

The characters ["s{mpA:] represent the pronunciation of the name SAMPA in English. Like IPA, SAMPA is usually enclosed in square bracketss or slasheses, which are not part of the alphabet proper and merely signify that it is phonetic and not regular text.

Second

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Second (symbol: s) is a unit for time, and one of seven SI base units. It is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom.

Historically, the second was defined in terms of the rotation of the Earth as 1/86,400 of a mean solar day. In 1956, the International Committee for Weights and Measures, under the authority given it by the Tenth General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1954, defined the second in terms of the period of revolution of the Earth around the Sun for a particular epoch, because by then it had become recognized that the Earth's rotation was not sufficiently uniform as a standard of time. The Earth's motion was described in Newcomb's Tables of the Sun, which provides a formula for the motion of the Sun at the epoch 1900 based on astronomical observations made during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The ephemeris second thus defined is

the fraction 1/31,556,925.9747 of the tropical year for 1900 January 0 at 12 hours ephemeris time.

This definition was ratified by the Eleventh General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960. Reference to the year 1900 does not mean that this is the epoch of a mean solar day of 86,400 seconds. Rather, it is the epoch of the tropical year of 31,556,925.9747 seconds of ephemeris time. Ephemeris Time (ET) was defined as the measure of time that brings the observed positions of the celestial bodies into accord with the Newtonian dynamical theory of motion.

Following several years of work, two astronomers at the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) and two astronomers at the National Physical Laboratory (Teddington, England) determined the relationship between the frequency of the cesium atom (the standard of time) and the ephemeris second. They determined the orbital motion of the Moon about the Earth, from which the apparent motion of the Sun could be inferred, in terms of time as measured by an atomic clock. As a result, in 1967 the Thirteenth General Conference on Weights and Measures defined the second of atomic time in the International System of Units (SI) as

the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom.

The ground state is defined at zero magnetic field. The second thus defined is equivalent to the ephemeris second.

Second (symbol: ") is a unit for angles.

To distinguish from the time unit, these are often referred to as seconds of arc and minutes of arc. One second of time is fifteen seconds of arc as the earth turns.

Simplified Chinese character

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Simplified Chinese characters (简体字 or less frequently 简化字) are one of two standard character sets used in contemporary Chinese written language printing text. The other form is Traditional Chinese. This character set is the form generally used in Mainland China (where it was developed) and Singapore. It is used very sparingly in printed text in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Persons learning Chinese as a foreign language in the United States will generally learn the Simplified Set (as it is coupled with the PinYin system). In all areas, most handwritten text will include informal character simplifications, and some characters (such as the Tai in Taiwan) have informal simplified forms that are used more commonly than the official forms even in print.

Although associated with the People's Republic of China, character simplification predates it. There have always been simplified forms which have been used in print and handwriting (dating back to as early as the Qin dynasty, though early attempts at simplification actually resulted in more characters being added to the lexicon), and in the 1930's and 1940's character simplifications were discussed within the Kuomintang government. Simplified Chinese was believed would be easier for the majority to read and write and learn. Official character simplifications were issued by the People's Republic of China in two phases, one in 1956 and again in 1964. Within the PRC, character simplication was associated with the leftist of the Cultural Revolution. Partly because of this association, a third round of character simplications which was drafted in 1977 was never implemented and formally rescinded in 1986. This simplification initiative was aimed at eradicating the ideographic system and establishing PinYin as the official written system of the PRC, but the reform never caught quite as much popularity as the leftists would have hoped. In modern days, the PRC tends to print material intended for Taiwanese and overseas Chinese in traditional characters.

Simplified Chinese characters are created by one of the three methods:

  1. Reducing the number of brush strokes of a character by either logical revision or the importing of ancient variant or obscure forms. (e.g. 葉 maps to 叶; 萬 maps to 万). In some instances, simplified characters actually became one or two strokes more complex than its traditional counterpart due to logical revision.
  2. Combining some complicated characters into one simpler character (known in technical terms to be "Character Conflation"). (e.g. 隻(a measure word for animals) and 衹(variant form of "only") conflates to 只. Note that 只 is a Tradtional character which merely replaces two lesser used characters in Simplified.
  3. Giving a new meaning to a traditional character with small number of strokes. (e.g 丰(beauty) is used as 豐(richly) and 余(I) is used as 餘(remain)).

Historically, characters which represented an object were often used instead as a character for an abstract idea while the original meaning was reformed by making the idea even more concrete. An example of this is 然 whose original meaning was "to burn", but its meaning was altered to the prepositional "thus" while "to burn" gained the additional semantic unit of 火 -- 燃.

Its effect on the language is still controversial decades later:

Proponents praise the simplification because it allowed lesser-educated people to read. Literacy rates since simplification has risen steadily in the rural and urban areas. Opponents argue that the literacy rate of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are comparable, so the improvement may not be due to the simplification.

Opponents complain that by merging many characters into one, the effect is "complicating", not simplifying, the character system. Proponents point out that most handwritten Chinese uses individualized simplifications and to read handwritten Chinese one must deal with informal simplifications anyhow.

Opponents say that by offering a new meaning to a traditional character, it jeopardised the study of ancient literature by creating a discontinuity between modern text and the literal text. Proponents argue that it has been overridden by the amount of both spoken and written deviation between Classical Chinese and the modern vernacular.

Opponents complain that it is not easy to translate an entire document written using simplified characters to traditional characters, because one simplified character may be represented by many traditional characters. Proponents believe that it is not hard to do so, just some guesswork may be involved.

Since the simplification by pronunciation is based on the Mandarin pronunciation, Simplified Chinese characters are incompatible with some other Chinese dialects, Japanese or Korean. The Chinese characters used in modern Japanese are also simplified, but generally to a lesser extent than Simplified Chinese.

In computer text applications, Simplified Chinese is most often rendered using the GB or the Unicode character encoding scheme.

SN1 reaction

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The SN1 reaction is an organic reaction in chemistry. "SN" stands for substitution nucleophilic and the "1" represents the fact that the rate-determining step take place on the first order, that is it happens with only one molecule. Increasing or decreasing the concentration of that kind of molecule in a closed system changes the rate of the reaction in a direct relationship.

The SN1 reaction takes place in two steps:

  1. Changing the carbon centre:
    1. Formation of a carbocation: due to the separates of leaving group (molecule A) from the carbon.
    2. Nucleophilic attack: a nucleophile (molecule B) joins onto the carbon.
  2. Deprotonation: Removal of a proton on the protonated nucleophile by a molecule (sometimes the same species as A) in the solvent, usually protic.

An example reaction:

  1. C(CH3)3Br --> C(CH3)3+ + Br-
  2. C(CH3)3+ + OH- --> C(CH3)3OH

This gives the overall reaction:

C(CH3)3Br + OH- --> C(CH3)3OH + Br-

SN1 occurs where the central carbon atom is surrounded by bulky groupss. The rate depends only on the concentration of the substrate.

rate = k[RX]
Nucleophilicity is irrelevant in the determining step's rate, in which only the substrate is crucial.

Because the intermediate cation, R+, is planar, an optically active substrate gives a racemic mixture because nucleophilic attack can occur from either side.

SN2 reaction

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

SN2 is a kind of nucleophilic substitution. It involves two molecules at the slow, rate-determining step of the reaction.

The SN2 reaction is a one step reaction the bonding of the nucleophile and the separation of the leaving group takes place in one single step.

In the SN2 reaction, the addition of OH- and the elimination of Br- take place simultaneously.

SN2 occurs where the backside of the central carbon atom is easily accessible to the nucleophile. The rate is second order, depending on the nucleophile concentration as well as the substrate.

rate = k[RX][OH-]

The nucleophile enters on the opposite side of the carbon to the leaving group, so an optically active substrate has its structure inverted. This inversion is called the Walden inversion. 
Unlike the SN1 reaction, SN2 reactions do not involve any carbocation intermediate, it involves an transitionstate in which the central carbon atome hase five bonds. The reaction is very similar to the SN1 reaction, however, with the key difference being that in the SN1 reaction the leaving group comes off by itself whereas in SN2 the nucleophile forces off the leaving group.

Most of the SN reactions procede via both mechanisms. Which of the two possibilitys is favoured dependes on solvent, temperature, concentration of the nucleophile or most on the leaving group.

Socialdemokratiska arbetarpartiet
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Sveriges Socialdemokratiska Arbetarparti, or the Social Democrat Labour Party of Sweden, is a political party in Sweden. The party was founded in 1889, and in 1917 a split occurred when the communists left to form a separate party.


Ideologically the party is Social Democrat and has a base of blue-collar workers, intellectuals, and public sector employees. It derives much of its power from strong links with the National Swedish Confederation of Trade Unions or LO, which represents around 90 percent of Sweden's blue-collar workers. The party program combines a commitment to social welfare programs and government direction of the economy.

The Republic of Korea (ROK for short; Daehan Min-guk (대한 민국  大韓民國) in Korean) is a country in East Asia, covering the southern half of the peninsula of Korea.

To the north it borders North Korea with which it formed a single nation until 1948, while Japan lies across the East Sea (Sea of Japan; see Notice on Talk page) and Korea Strait to the southeast.  The Korean name of the country means "Great Han Republic," and comes from Daehan Jeguk (대한 제국; 大韓帝國; "Great Han Empire"), the official name of Korea from the 1890s until the Japanese occupation of Korea.  The country is commonly called Namhan (남한; 南韓; "South Han") in South Korea and Namchosŏn  (남조선; 南朝鮮; "South Chosŏn" (McCune-Reischauer (MR))/"South Joseon" (Revised Romanization (RR))) in North Korea.

History

Main articles: History of Korea, History of South Korea, Rulers of Korea

After the end of World War II in 1945, Korea was involuntarily divided-up into two zones of influence by the world's super powers, followed in 1948 by two matching governments: a communist North and a United States-influenced South. In June 1950, the North invaded the South igniting the Korean War. The United Nations-backed South and the Chinese-backed North eventually reached a stalemate and an armistice was signed in 1953, splitting the peninsula along a demilitarised zone at about the 38th parallel, which had been the original demarcation line.

Thereafter, the southern Republic of Korea achieved rapid economic growth, while autocratic governments and civil unrest dominated politics until protests succeeded in starting democratic reforms. A potential Korean reunification has remained a prominent topic; no peace treaty has yet been signed with the North. In June 2000, a historic first North-South summit took place, part of the South's continuing "Sunshine Policy" of engagement, despite recent concerns over the North's nuclear weapons programme.


Politics

Main article: Politics of South Korea

Head of state of the republic of Korea is the president, who is elected by direct popular vote for a single five-year term. In addition to being the highest representative of the republic and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the president also has considerable executive powers and appoints the prime minister with approval of parliament, as well as appointing and presiding over the State Council or cabinet.

The unicameral Korean parliament is the National Assembly or Kukhoe, whose members serve a four-year term of office. The legislature currently has 273 seats, of which 227 are elected by popular vote and the remainder are distributed proportionately among parties winning five seats or more. This system, possibly along with the number of seats, will be revised starting in 2004. The highest judiciary body is the Supreme Court, whose justices are appointed by the president with the consent of parliament.  


Provinces and Cities

Main article: Administrative divisions of Korea.  For historical information, see Provinces of Korea and Special cities of Korea.



South Korea consists of 9 Provinces (do, singular and plural; 도 道), 1 Special City (Teukbyeolsi; 특별시; 特別市), and 6 Metropolitan Cities (Gwangyeoksi, singular and plural; 광역시; 廣域市):


Geography

Main article: Geography of South Korea; Regions of Korea

Korea forms a peninsula that extends some 1,100 km from the Asian mainland, flanked by the Yellow Sea to the west and the East Sea/Sea of Japan (see Notice on Talk page) to the east, and terminated by the Korea Strait and the East China Sea to the south. According to Koreans, Japan never returned back the name of Sea of Korea/Corea which had been used throughout 18th/19th century western maps after being defeated in World War II.

The southern landscape consists of partially forested mountain ranges to the east, separated by deep, narrow valleys. Densely populated and cultivated coastal plains are found in the west and south.

The local climate is relatively temperate, with precipitation heavier in summer during a short rainy season called jangma, and winters that can be bitterly cold on occasion. South Korea's capital and largest city is Seoul in the northwest, other major cities include nearby Incheon, central Daejeon, Gwangju in the southwest and Daegu and Busan in the southeast.


Economy

Main article: Economy of South Korea

As one of the four East Asian Tigers, South Korea has achieved an incredible record of growth and integration into the high-tech modern world economy. Three decades ago GDP per capita was comparable with levels in the poorer countries of Africa and Asia. Today its GDP per capita is roughly 20 times North Korea's and equal to the lesser economies of the European Union. 

This success through the late 1980s was achieved by a system of close government/business ties, including directed credit, import restrictions, sponsorship of specific industries, and a strong labour effort. The government promoted the import of raw materials and technology at the expense of consumer goods and encouraged savings and investment over consumption. The Asian financial crisis of 1997 exposed longstanding weaknesses in South Korea's development model, including high debt/equity ratios, massive foreign borrowing, and an undisciplined financial sector. 

Growth plunged by 6.6% in 1998, then strongly recovered to 10.8% in 1999 and 9.2% in 2000. Growth fell back to 3.3% in 2001 because of the slowing global economy, falling exports, and the perception that much-needed corporate and financial reforms have stalled. Led by industry and construction, growth in 2002 was an impressive 5.8%, despited anemic global growth.


Demographics

Main article: Demographics of South Korea

Korea's population is one of the most ethnically and linguistically homogenous in the world, with the only minority being a small Chinese community. Koreans have lived in Manchuria for many centuries, who are now a minority in China, and Joseph Stalin sent thousands of Koreans, against their will, to Central Asia (in the former U.S.S.R) from Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, while the majority of Korean population in Japan moved there during the colonial period.

Political, social and economic instability in South Korea have driven many South Koreans to emigrate to foreign countries, amongst which the friendship, freedom and opportunities provided by the United States and Canada render popularity.

The city of Seoul is the most populated single city (excluding greater metropolitan areas) in the world. Its density has allowed it to become one of the most "digitally-wired" cities in today's globally connected ecomony.

The Korean language is a member of a wider linguistic family of the Altaic languages. The Korean writing system, Hangeul, was invented in  1446 by King Sejong the Great to widely spread education - as Chinese characters were thought to be too difficult and time consuming for a common person to learn - through the Royal proclamation of Hoonminjungeum [훈민정음/訓民正音)] which literally means the "proper sounds to teach the general public." It is different from the Chinese form of written communication as it is phonetically based.

Numerous underlying words still stem from Hanja and older people in Korea still prefer to write words in Hanja, as they were strictly forbidden to study and speak the Korean language when Japan ruled. Koreans are the only people in the world who fully understand how, when and why their written language was created through the transcripts of King Sejong's innovative contribution.

In 2000 the government decided to introduce a new romanisation system, which this article also uses. English is taught as a second language in most primary and intermediate schools. Those students in high school are also taught 2 years of either Chinese, Japanese, French, German or Spanish as an elective course.

Christianity (49%) and Buddhism (47%) comprise South Korea's two dominant religions. Though only 3% identified themselves as Confucianists, Korean society remains highly imbued with Confucian values and beliefs. The remaining 1% of the population practice Shamanism (traditional spirit worship) and Cheondogyo ("Heavenly Way"), a traditional religion.


Culture and Tourism

South Korea shares its traditional culture with that of North Korea. The Korean culture is influenced by that of China and Japan but is essentially distinct. Traditional culture has also been influenced by Buddhism and Confucianism.

Main article: Culture of Korea


Since its divsion into two seperate states, the two Koreas have developed distinct contemporary forms of culture.

Main article: Contemporary culture of South Korea

South Koreans must receive permission from their government to visit North Korea, or may be imprisoned under the draconian National Security Laws upon return.

Standard enthalpy change of formation
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In chemistry, the standard enthalpy change of formation is the enthalpy change (i.e. heat absorbed) when some amount of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions. If heat is released in the process of formation (for example burning carbon in oxygen to form carbon dioxide), then the sign will be negative. It is typically given the symbol  ΔHf0 or ΔfH0, and measured in kJ/mol (kilojoules per mole). 

Due to conservation of energy, enthalpies of formation can be used to calculate the heat absorbed or released in any chemical reaction.


Notational note: In the above definition the plimsol sign O is used. This is the original notation of the thermodynamicists of the 19th century. In more recent textbooks there has been a tendency to replace the plimsol by a superscript 0 (zero). This replacement is unfortunate, since the thermodynamicists had good reasons to avoid a zero in the notation: the standard state does not refer to zero temperatures, pressures and concentrations but to an arbitrarily chosen set of finite ones. It is an arbitrary reference state, just like the plimsol line on ships, where the symbol was originally used.

Standard molar entropy
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In chemistry, the standard molar entropy is the entropy content of one mole of substance, under conditions of standard temperature and pressure. By comparing the entropies of products and reactants in a chemical reaction, we can determine whether the reaction will go forward or backwards. It usually given the symbol S0, and the units J/mol·K (joules per kelvin per mole).

Sulfur (sulphur in British English) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol S and atomic number 16. An abundant tasteless odorless multivalent non-metal, sulfur is best known as yellow crystals and occurs in many sulfide and sulfate minerals and even in its native form (especially in volcanic regions). It is an essential element in all living organisms and is needed in several amino acids and hence in many proteins. It is primarily used in fertilizers but is also widely used in gunpowder, laxatives, matches and insecticides.

Notable Characteristics
 
This non-metal is pale yellow in appearance, soft, light, with a distinct odor when allied with hydrogen (rotten egg smell). It burns with a blue flame that emits a peculiar suffocating odor. Sulfur is insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide. Common oxidation states of sulfur include -2, +2, +4 and +6. In all states, solid, liquid, and gaseous, sulfur has allotropic forms, whose relationships are not completely understood. Crystalline sulfur can be shown to form an 8 membered sulfur ring, S8. 

Polymeric sulfur nitride has metallic properties even though it doesn't contain any metal atoms. This compound also has unusual electrical and optical properties. Amorphous or "plastic" sulfur is produced through fast cooling crystalline sulfur. X-ray studies show that the amorphous form may have an eight atom per spiral helical structure 

Sulfur can be obtained in two crystalline modifications, in orthorhombic octahedra, or in monoclinic prisms, the former of which is the more stable at ordinary temperatures.  

Applications
 
It is used for many industrial processes such as the production of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for batteries, the production of gunpowder, and the vulcanization of rubber. Sulfur is used as a fungicide, and in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers. Sulfites are used to bleach papers and dried fruits. Sulfur also finds use in matches and fireworks. Sodium or ammonium thiosulfate are used as photographic fixing agents. Epsom salts, magnesium sulfate, can be used as a laxative, as a bath additive, as an exfoliant, or a magnesium supplement in plant nutrition. 

Biological Role
 
The amino acids cysteine, methionine, homocysteine, and taurine contain sulfur, as do some common enzymes, making sulfur a necessary component of all living cells. Disulfide bonds between polypeptides are very important in protein assembly and structure. 
Some forms of bacteria use hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the place of water as the electron doner in a primitive photosynthesis-like process. Sulfur is absorbed by plants from soil as sulfate ion.    
Inorganic sulfur forms a part of iron-sulfur clusters, and sulfur is the bridging ligand in the CuA site of cytochrome c oxidase. 

History

Sulfur (Sanskrit, sulvere; Latin sulpur) was known in ancient times and was called brimstone in the Biblical story of Pentateuch (Genesis).
Homer mentioned "pest-averting sulfur" in the 9th century BC and in 424 BC, the tribe of Bootier destroyed the walls of a city by burning a mixture of coal, sulfur, and tar under them. 
Sometime in the 12th century, the Chinese invented gun powder which is a mixture of potassium nitrate (KNO3), carbon, and sulfur. 
Early alchemists gave sulfur its own alchemical symbol which was a triangle at the top of a cross. Through experimentation, alchemists knew that the element mercury can be combined with sulfur. 
In the late 1770s, Antoine Lavoisier helped convince the scientific community that sulfur was an element and not a compound.

Occurrence

Sulfur occurs naturally in large quantities compounded to other elements in sulfides (example: pyrites) and sulfates (example: gypsum). It is found in its free form near hot springs and volcanic regions and in ores like cinnabar, galena, sphalerite and stibnite. This element is also found in small amounts in coal and petroleum, which produce sulfur dioxide when burned. Fuel standards increasingly require sulfur to be extracted from fossil fuels because sulfur dioxide combines with water droplets to produce acid rain. This extracted sulfur is then refined and represents a large portion of sulfur production. It is also mined along the US Gulf coast, by pumping hot water into sulfur containing deposits (such as salt domes) which melts the sulfur. The molten sulfur is then pumped to the surface. 

Through its major derivative, sulfuric acid, sulfur ranks as one of the more-important elements used as an industrial raw material. It is of prime importance to every sector of the world's industrial and fertilizer complexes. Sulfuric acid production is the major end use for sulfur, and consumption of sulfuric acid has been regarded as one of the best indexes of a nation's industrial development. More sulfuric acid is produced in the United States every year than any other chemical.  

The distinctive colors of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, are from various forms of multen, solid and gaseous sulfur. There is also a dark area near the Lunar crater Aristarchus that may be a sulfur deposit. Sulfur is also present in many types of meteorites.

Compounds
 
Many of the unpleasant odors of organic matter are based on sulfur-containing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, which has the characteristic smell of rotten eggs. Dissolved in water, hydrogen sulfide is acidic (pKa1 = 7.00, pKa2 = 12.92) and will react with metals to form a series of metal sulfides. Natural metal sulfides are found, especially those of iron. Iron sulfides are called iron pyrites, the so called fool's gold. Interestingly, pyrites can show semiconductor properties.[1] Galena, a naturally occurring lead sulfide (as the detector in a "cat's hair" rectifier) was of course the original semiconductor discovered. 

Some important compounds of sulfur include:


Isotopes
 
Sulfur has 18 isotopes, of which four stable isotopes: S-32 (95.02%), S-33 (0.75%), S-34 (4.21%), and S-36 (0.02%). Other than 35S, the radioactive isotopes of sulfur are all short lived. Sulfur-35 is formed from cosmic ray spallation of argon- 40 in the atmosphere. it has a half-life of 87 days.  

When sulfide minerals are precipitated, isotopic equilibration among solids and liquid may cause small differences in the dS-34 values of co-genetic minerals. The differences between minerals can be used to estimate the temperature of equilibration. The dC-13 and dS-34 of co-existing carbonates and sulfides can be used to determine the pH and oxygen fugacity of the ore-bearing fluid during ore formation.  

In most forest ecosystems, sulfate is derived mostly from the atmosphere; weathering of ore minerals and evaporites also contributes some sulfur. Sulfur with a distinctive isotopic composition has been used to identify pollution sources, and enriched sulfur has been added as a tracer in hydologic studies. Differences in the natural abundances can also be used in systems where there is sufficient variation in the S-34 of ecosystem components. Rocky Mountain lakes thought to be dominated by atmospheric sources of sulfate have been found to have different dS-34 values from lakes believed to be dominated by watershed sources of sulfate. 

Precautions
 
Carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide should all be handled with care. 
In addition to being quite toxic (more toxic than cyanide), sulfur dioxide reacts with atmospheric water to produce acid rain. In high concentration this element can kill quickly by preventing respiration. Sulfur quickly deadens the sense of smell so potential victims may be unaware of its presence.

Spelling
 
Sulfur is traditionally spelled "sulphur" in British English, but IUPAC has adopted the spelling "sulfur", as has the Royal Society of Chemistry Nomenclature Committee. Increasingly "sulfur" is being used in British English instead.
