In their recent paper, Roberts et aL (1979) report the following values of intracellular (i), extracellular (o), longitudinal (<f), and transverse (t) resistivity for canine ventricular muscle: r^ = 450 ohms-cm, rot = 750 ohm-cm, ru = 360 ohm-cm, and rit = 3800 ohm-cm. The ratio W r ^ is 1.67. In an earlier paper, Clerc (1976) reported the following resistivity ratios for trabecular bundles fro...

this study is an attempt at a colonial and postcolonial reading of joseph conrad’s lord jim. it is specifically focused on the narrative strategies used in the novel. in other words, it investigates the connection between the narrative strategy and a possible tone of imperialism in conrad’s novel. for the introduction, a brief review of conrad’s manner of writing and his peculiar ambiguity is p...

squalid houses commanding even the most distant view of the proceedings were full of boys and girls anxious to catch a glimpse of the Prince. His Royal Highness, who passed to the platform amid terrific cheering, was accompanied by various officials of Guy's, and took his seat between Lord Goschen, the Treasurer of the Hospital, and Mr. Herbert Waring, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Londo...

1. “LAUDATO SI’, mi’ Signore” – “Praise be to you, my Lord”. In the words of this beautiful canticle, Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. “Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured f...

— Confinement of light into small volumes has become an essential requirement for photonic devices; examples of this trend are provided by optical fibers, integrated optical circuits, semiconductor lasers, and photonic crystals. Optical dielectric resonators supporting Whispering Gallery Modes (WGMs) represent another class of cavity devices with exceptional properties, like extremely small mod...

ACCORDING to the standard story, which is unfortunately still found in many physics textbooks, quantum theory emerged when it was realized that classical physics predicts an energy distribution for black-body radiation that disagrees violently with that found experimentally. In the late 1890s, so the story continues, the German physicist Wilhelm Wien developed an expression that corresponded re...

fies the biharmonic equation. The detailed behavior of solutions to the biharmonic equation on regions with corners has been historically difficult to characterize. The problem was first examined by Lord Rayleigh in 1920; in 1973, the existence of infinite oscillations in the domain Green’s function was proven in the case of the right angle by S. Osher. In this paper, we observe that, when the ...

A meeting in support of the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association was held on January 31, at the Mansion House, the Lord Mayor presiding. The Association is appealing for ?250,000 to extend the cure for leprosy which is believed to have been found, and also to continue research work. The speakers were Lord Chelmsford, Chairman of the Association, the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Humphrey Rollest...

D uring the early tests of the first British destroyer in 1894, Sir John I. Thornycroft and Sydney W. Barnaby noticed a severe vibration from the destroyer's propeller. They suggested that large bubbles, or cavi­ ties, formed by the spinning propeller and imploded by water pressure, were the source of the vibrations. Thorny­ croft and Barnaby redesigned the pro­ peller to reduce the vibrations ...
