"Ulan" (pl. "Ulanen") was the name of a light Polish cavalry equipped with lances. When other European nations creating their own regiments of similar troops they referred to them as Ulanen, too - the name has no meaning in German.
Shortly before WW1 Emperor Wilhelm decided that all cavalry regiments should carry lances in addition to their carbines, so technically all German cavalry troops were Ulanen when the war started.

Actually in terms of economy it was that dominating, and Nobel prizes mean so very little. Did you know that 2 Nobel prizes were handed out for the Frontal Lobotomy? One for the original work and another for a procedure which could be carried out in a psychiatrist's office. The later involved numbing the eye socket with cocaine, then jamming a scalpel up between the eya and the eyelid through the bony roof of the orbit and into the brain, finally sweeping the instrument slightly from side to side to cut the white matter connecting the prefrontal area with the rest of the brain. The idea behind the procedure was that it left no unsightly scar and also supposedly the route of entry between the eye and the eyelid was naturally sterile. People hardly ever died from the procedure, well, at least the mortality rate was definitely less than 20%..... or 30%...... or 40%.
