altered plans to provide a railway to Nova Scotia. A brush with ill health, and a consultation with William Osler, led Tupper to moderate his lifestyle. Having held several portfolios in the Cabinet, he "retired" to England as High Commissioner in 1884. But after Macdonald's death, Tupper was recalled to politics by his party and was appointed prime minister for a two-month period until his Gov...

Extreme coastal inundation associated with the 2004 Indian Ocean and 1945 Makran tsunamigenic-earthquakes highlight the risk of tsunamis to coastlines of the northern Oman Sea. Foraminifera have been used as indicators of paleotsunamis in the past where allochthonous tests, found in low-energy environments such as in coastal lagoons, ponds, and marshes, indicate marine overwash. In this study, ...

 1885: First augmentation (injection of patient’s own fat) – poor results  1889: Paraffin (wax) – disastrous results  1900-1945: Many substances tried – awful results  1945: Flap-based technique rotated patient’s chest wall tissue into breast to increase volume – nope Breast Augmentation History  1950s-1960s: 50,000 women received silicone injections  Developed granulomas and hardening re...

Viewed from the perspective of third space communication, colonialism is no longer a moment West’s domination over East. The boundary between superiority and inferiority removed by exchanges influences. In addition, communication can also be used as means fusing different cultures values. However, when applied in certain contexts, there are opportunities to enrich idea communication. enrichment...

A moderately stable hexacoordinated sulfur(VI) compound with four different kinds of ligands, CF3SF2(CN)2C1, results when CF3SF4CI is reacted with (CH3)3SiCN. The latter compound also gives F2S(CN)2 and (CF3)2S(CN)2 with SF4 and (CF3)2SF2, respectively. These tetracoordinated suifur(IV) compounds decompose rapidly at 25 °C but are stable at lower temperatures. With OSCl2 and SC12, the white sol...

Precise control over the segmented flow in a microchannel reactor offers an important tool for the optimization of reaction yield and productivity. The fluidic control over the reaction was demonstrated on the selective alkylation of benzyl cyanide to the monoalkylated product in a 250 μm microchannel reactor. The conversion of benzyl cyanide increased from 39.9% to 99.7% as a result of a 97% l...

The nineteenth and early twentieth century Liberal Party has been well served by British political historians. By contrast, research on the post-1945 Democrats become a specialised field, with strong empirical foundations (including in biographies science work) but few connections larger narratives that historians tell about postwar Britain. This article explores how story of ‘long revival’ fro...

(D) Viruses Since Lindner (1910) first described elementary bodies in a urethral discharge, various attempts have been made to prove a viral aetiology by various workers including Halberstaedter and von Prowazek (1910); Thygeson and Mengert (1936); Harkness (1945); Johnston and McEwin (1945); Williams (1946); Dunlop, Jones, and Al-Hussaini (1964); Dunlop, Harper, Al-Hussaini, Garland, Treharne,...
