Woodward–Hoffmann Rules
The Woodward–Hoffmann rules (or the pericyclic selection rules) are a set of rules devised by Robert Burns Woodward and Roald Hoffmann to rationalize or predict certain aspects of the stereochemistry and activation energy of Pericyclic reaction, pericyclic reactions, an important class of reactions in organic chemistry. The rules originate in certain symmetries of the Molecular orbital, molecule's orbital structure that any molecular Hamiltonian Conserved quantity, conserves. Consequently, any symmetry-violating reaction must Coupling (physics), couple extensively to Thermal bath (thermodynamics), the environment; this imposes an energy barrier on its occurrence, and such reactions are called symmetry-forbidden. Their opposites are symmetry-allowed. Although the symmetry-imposed barrier is often formidable (up to ca. 5 eV or 480 kJ/mol in the case of a forbidden [2+2] cycloaddition), the prohibition is not absolute, and symmetry-forbidden reactions can still take place if other ...

Held each year on the third Saturday in August, the Cruise runs along Woodward Avenue, a major thoroughfare in the region, from Ferndale to Pontiac.

1947 Glazier–Higgins–Woodward Tornado Outbreak
From April 9–11, 1947, a significant tornado outbreak produced catastrophic effects over portions of the southern Great Plains, in the contiguous United States. The outbreak generated at least 12, and possibly 17 or more, tornadoes, many of which were significant. On Wednesday, April 9, a series of related tornadoes spawned by a single supercell, dubbed the Glazier–Higgins–Woodward tornadoes, swept through the U.S. states of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Most of the damage and nearly all of the deaths are still blamed on one large tornado, known as the Glazier–Higgins–Woodward tornado, that traveled from Texas to Oklahoma, beginning over the South Plains. This event, up to nearly in width, was often compared to the Tri-State tornado, because it was originally thought to have left a path, was similarly large and intense for much of its path, and was also retroactively rated F5 on the modern-day Fujita scale, but it is now believed to have been part ...
