The self-organization and mobilization of active drugs users is historically four decades old, but is rarely noted in the addiction, or drug policy literature. This piece looks closely at three European countries that have had varying degrees of success in organizing injection drugs users as key stakeholders in the development of non-criminalizing drug and reintegrating social policies. Indeed,...

Before my arrival in India, I had heard of the existence of certain boils and sores in many Eastern cities, which having once been places with encrmous populations and all the requirements of wealth and luxury?well drained?well watered?and adorned with numerous trees and gardens?had in the process of centuries become, for the most part, desert wastes?their canals and water-courses choked up, an...

Having graduated in medicine in 1945 after a shortened wartime course in Newcastle Medical School, then part of Durham University, I had actually served for several weeks before graduation as a house officer, first in medicine with Professor F J Nattrass and secondly in paediatrics with Sir James Spence. These were two notable and outstanding teachers whom I admired greatly, and, after demobili...

Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) made important contributions to the study of atmospheric electricity during a brief but productive period from 1859–1861. By 1859 Kelvin had recognised the need for “incessant recording” of atmospheric electrical parameters, and responded by inventing both the water dropper equaliser for measuring the atmospheric potential gradient (PG), and photographic data loggi...

The ecological significance of the Lord Howe Island Group, an imposing and beautiful cluster of volcanic islands about 500 kilometres off the coast of New South Wales, is undisputed. First discovered by Europeans in the early nineteenth century, the islands have been actively studied by naturalists ever since and there is therefore a great deal of historical information about the flora and faun...

In this paper, the lord magnetic field of MRF and its circuit design are mainly expounded, according to the loading ways of magnetic field and the magnetic circuit design plans of magneto-rheological fluid devices at present, the general form and characteristics are summarized. In addition, a kind of magneto-rheological fluid dynamometer is proposed in this paper, in terms of its magnetic circu...

THE last occasion that the British Association met at Cambridge was in 1904, under the presidency of my revered relative, Lord Balfour, who at the time actually held the position of Prime Minister. That a Prime Minister should find it possible to undertake this additional burden brings home to us how much the pace has quickened in national activities, and I may add, anxieties, between that time...

Abstract This paper is concerned to study temperature distribution, thermal stresses and displacement components for a magnetothermoelastic problem of a halfspace subjected to (i) moving heat source and (ii) moving load. Classical Dynamical Coupled, Lord-Shulman and Green Lindsay theories of thermoelasticity are used for mathematical analysis. It is found that the Lord-Shulman theory is more pr...
