This second collection of essays-a sequel to The double face of Janus (1977)-brings together some of the most influential articles written by the late Owsei Temkin, one of our most distinguished medical historians. The first two chapters are new, the first biographical in character, and the second a new translation and commentary of the Hippocratic Oath. Temkin lived long enough to become his o...

In lb is research, adsorption of some amino acids and their complenation with manganese (II) ion on carbonnanotube (MWCNT) by using of four relations Langmuir, Freundlich. Temkin and Harkins -Jura imitherms wasinvestigated. From this relations. Freudlich and Temkin relations predict good equilibrium diagram in, isothermcondition. we could compute the theoretical constants by excel software. Hy ...

Results for the volume change and dipole tensor for point defects are derived using a generalisation of the Betti reciprocity theorem. These results incorporate the correction terms derived by Flynn, by Lidiard and by Gillan in a simpler way, and allow some more general results to be obtained straightforwardly. Calculations of volume changes caused by defects in solids often use an expression i...

Acrylonitrile-Styrene co-polymer was prepared by solution polymerization and fabricated into nanofibers using the electrospinning technique. The nanofiber polarization was enhanced through its surface functionalization with carboxylic acid groups by simple chemical modification. The carboxylic groups’ presence was dedicated using the FT-IR technique. SEM showed that the nanofiber attains a unif...

This research has studied equilibrium adsorption isotherms of Ketotifen on carbon nanotube. And also results of experiments through Freundlich,Temkin and Langmuir models have been studied and it has found different parameters of these models for carbon nano-tube adsorbent. According to the error rate for each model, we obtained a good agreement between these data which it showed the best agreem...

The front-end process integration of the selective acetylene hydrogenation provides several advantages over tail-end option. But extensive knowledge and reaction kinetics are required. This work combines ideal conditions advanced TEMKIN reactor in a laboratory plant for gradient-free kinetic analysis eggshell catalyst under industrially relevant conditions. With this system an industrial state ...

OWSEI TEMKIN, Galenism. Rise and decline of a medical philosophy, Ithaca and London, Cornell University Press, 1973, pp. xvii, 240, illus., $15.00. Owsei Temkin is the most outstanding historian of medicine alive today, and it is possible that we shall never again see in this discipline a scholar of his brilliance and versatility. Since his first paper of 1927 he has written on a great variety ...

This article critically examines some of the inconsistency objections that have been put forward by John Broome, Larry Temkin and others against the so-called “person-affecting,” or “person-based,” restriction in normative ethics, including “extra people” problems and a version of the nonidentity problem from Kavka and Parfit. Certain Pareto principles and a version of the “mere addition parado...
