super mutants are a fictional race of posthuman
super mutants are a fictional race of posthuman beings from the post-apocalyptic fallout video game franchise. the super mutants were first introduced in 1997's fallout as the results of human experimentation with a strain of the forced evolutionary virus (fev), a genetically engineered viral mutagen which transforms the subjects into a hulking monstrous humanoid form. within series lore, super mutants tend to be depicted as savage and innately violent beings who, as a result of their transformations, lost a substantial amount of intelligence and often have cannibalistic tendencies. while super mutants tend to form their own factions or societies and are usually hostile to civilized humans, some have chosen to live peacefully alongside humans in settlements across the post-apocalyptic wasteland. among the most recognizable and integral elements of the fallout intellectual property (ip), super mutants have appeared in every media of the franchise, and have been the subject of numerous fan mods of fallout series games. certain individual super mutant characters have been well received by critics for their characterization, although the role the super mutant race have played throughout the history of the franchise have been the source of contention for some commentators.

commenting on adamowicz's developer diary post in 2008, joseph leray from destructoid praised the creative vision and art style for the super mutants of fallout 3 as "delightfully twisted", and said these aesthetic elements were key ingredients "that makes post-apocalyptic stories work". some of the best side quests in fallout 4 according to the escapist 's ron whitaker involve conflicts with super mutants, with one that culminates in the recruitment of strong as a companion character noted to be a highlight by whitaker. some individual super mutant characters have received critical acclaim. for example, the nightkin character lily bowen has been praised for her characterization and has appeared in "top" character lists, including polygon 's "the 70 best video game characters of the decade". in a paper published by the university of leicester, conor appleton scaled an ordinary super mutant up to the size of a behemoth and used dimensional analysis to determine the plausibility and viability of such a creature's existence. after examining the behemoth's physiology using in-universe data and discussing how it may be affected by gravity, appleton concluded that it is unlikely that such a creature would survive in reality.

on the other hand, the portrayal of super mutants following the transition of the series' ownership to bethesda have been a source of contention for some fans. story elements introduced in fallout 3 contradicted lore in the first fallout, developed by series creators interplay entertainment, which established that super mutants were originally created by the master in 2103, while the vault 87 fev experiment took place in 2078. in a report about the fallout fansite, no mutants allowed, luke winkie from kotaku highlighted criticism from community members about the creative and design decisions in video games developed by bethesda game studios: one aspect of contention involved the ubiquity of super mutants as ordinary "mob bad guys" in the early game levels of fallout 3, which departed from the perspective of escalation presented in the original games' stories, gameplay mechanics and setting. the presence of super mutants in fallout 76 also proved to be a controversial retcon with series fandom, as the game established that its iteration of super mutants is native to the region and thus unrelated to the super mutants in previous games.

super mutants have appeared in every fallout video
super mutants have appeared in every fallout video game as both hostile antagonists and supporting non-player characters, beginning with 1997's fallout which takes place after a global nuclear war had destroyed most of human civilization a century earlier. information about how the "master of super mutants" raised an army of super mutants is picked up throughout gameplay prior to the player's final confrontation with the character in the cathedral. the master was originally a human named richard moreau who was exiled from vault city as a murder suspect. he changed his surname to grey and migrated to a merchant town called the hub, where he became a physician. grey met a trader named harold in 2102, and they formed a joint expedition to discover the source of the mutant attacks on harold's caravans. this led them to mariposa military base, where the expedition group is overwhelmed by mutant forces. grey is knocked into a vat of the forced evolutionary virus (f.e.v.), which mutated him into a blob-like creature that expanded himself by absorbing other humans.

concept artist adam adamowicz was responsible for conceptualizing the fallout 3 iteration of the super mutant, in particular the behemoth variant. in a 2008 developmental diary titled "conceptual design", adamowicz said he was inspired by a line of dialogue from the 1974 film blazing saddles about the dim-witted but strong and tough character mongo. adamowicz wanted the game's super mutants to look like "they would step into a tree shredder, for relaxation.". he described their musculature to be straining at the bone structure underneath, evoking a caricature of a person with well developed muscles "in the throes of radioactive testosterone poisoning, and liking it". the armor and equipment used by the super mutants of fallout 3 are predominantly based on salvaged material, such as car hoods and fenders crudely pounded into chest plates and pauldrons, and lawn mower blades welded onto helmets. the idea behind this design approach is to show recognizable real world elements being twisted to a more violent purpose, which conveys a sinister resourcefulness by these creatures to survive in a highly dangerous post-apocalyptic world.

super mutants are first introduced in the first fallout as part of an ambitious effort by a grotesque mutated being known as "the master of the super mutants", to create a single, perfect " master race " and remove inequalities which have been the cause of strife among humans. the fev, an artificially-created virus by a defense contractor and research corporation contracted by the american government, was originally meant to protect against various forms of biological warfare. subsequent games in the fallout series feature other antagonistic factions that employ different strains of the fev to create super mutants. for example, vault tec, the technology company which built the nuclear fallout shelter facilities called vaults, deliberately exposed the occupants of vault 87 to a modified strain of the fev as part of an unethical experiment called the evolutionary experimentation program. the institute, an elusive faction of scientists in fallout 4, kidnap the inhabitants of the surrounding region and subject their victims to another strain of fev for experimentation.

the 1986 hockey world cup was the sixth hockey world cup men's field hockey tournament. it was held in london, england. the competition was won by australia, who defeated host nation england 2–1 in the final. west germany finished third after defeating the soviet union. england, as hosts – and also as olympic bronze medallists – were viewed as having quite a tough group, containing olympic champions pakistan, and a highly fancied dutch side, with the soviet union seen as potential dark-horse outsiders. but in the event pakistan failed badly, winning only a single group match against minnows new zealand – blaming their poor play on failure to adjust to the astroturf surface, used in a major hockey tournament for the first time instead of grass. the soviets scored surprise victories over both pakistan and england, leaving england in danger of going out of their own tournament in the group stages: however they recovered to win their final match, against the dutch. this left england, the ussr and the netherlands all level on points with four wins and one loss each. england and the soviets were equal on goal difference as well as points, england being ahead on goals scored: the dutch unfortunate to be in third thanks to an inferior goal difference to both. in the other group, things were expected to be more straightforward, with west germany and australia being the two favourites. australia duly topped the group by defeating everybody except the germans, with whom they drew: the germans also finished the group undefeated to qualify comfortably in second place, though they also drew with spain and india. the latter, hockey giants of the past, were nowhere near the same force in the present: in the play-offs for the minor places, india ended up losing both matches, including the 11th–12th place play-off to the otherwise hapless pakistan. the first semi-final, between england and west germany, was an absolute classic. a replay of the semi-final of the 1984 olympic tournament, won 1–0 by the germans, meant that the english had a score to settle. england dominated most of the first half, but in the end had only one goal to show for it, scored by star centre-forward sean kerly. in the second half, the germans found their form, equalising from a penalty corner, and then going into the lead with a smart strike from

a lab scale synthesis of 1,4-butanesultone starts from 4,4'-dichlorodibutyl ether (accessible from tetrahydrofuran treated with phosphorus oxychloride and concentrated sulfuric acid), which reacts with sodium sulfite forming the corresponding 4,4'-butanedisulfonic disodium salt. by passing it through an acidic ion exchanger, the disodium salt is converted into the disulphonic acid which forms two molecules of 1,4-butanesultone at elevated temperature and reduced pressure under elimination of water. the yields obtained range from 72 to 80%.

1,4-butane sultone is a six-membered δ- sultone and
1,4-butane sultone is a six-membered δ- sultone and the cyclic ester of 4-hydroxybutanesulfonic acid. as a sulfo-alkylating agent, 1,4-butanesultone is used to introduce the sulfobutyl group (–(ch) –so) into hydrophobic compounds possessing nucleophilic functional groups, for example hydroxy groups (as in the case of β-cyclodextrin) or amino groups (as in the case of polymethine dyes). in such, the sulfobutyl group is present as neutral sodium salt and considerably increases the water solubility of the derivatives.
