To mark the centennial of the discovery of oxygen by Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) on August 1, 1774, H. Carrington Bolton of the Columbia College School of Mines suggested a gathering of American chemists be held to celebrate this event. A suggestion was made by Rachel Bodley of the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania that an appropriate place would be Northumberland, Pennsylvania, where Pr...

2014 Extending an earlier reasoning about spontaneous multiplication of interplanar vortex loops, it is suggested that multiple layering of magnetic planes, more strongly coupled within each group than from group to group, decreases strongly the two dimensional fluctuations. This should increase the three dimensional critical temperature roughly proportionately to the number of planes within ea...

Félix Vicq d'Azyr was born in 1748 in the small town of Valognes, Normandy. He studied medicine in Paris but he was particularly impressed by the lectures given at the Jardin du Roi by the comparative anatomist Louis Daubenton and the surgeon Antoine Petit. In 1773, Vicq d'Azyr initiated a series of successful lectures on human and animal anatomy at the Paris Medical School, from which he recei...

Diskursusepartiklid on osa partiklite sõnaklassist, mis muutumatud ja lausungi süntaktilisest osast sõltumatud sõnad ning esinevad palju just suulises spontaanses keeles (Hennoste 2000: 1774; Erelt 2013: 19). Teistest partikliliikidest (nt suhtlus- toimetamispartiklitest) erinevad diskursusepartiklid eelkõige selle poolest, et nad ei esine kõnevoorus tavaliselt üksinda, vaid annavad pragmaatili...

In a 1836 publication on astronomical refractions, Biot (1774–1862) introduced change of variable, which would become classical, in order to numerically calculate the refraction integral. This renders well-behaved integral, case when celestial body is seen horizon. also proves beautiful theorem, giving local vertical angular magnification such addition, he comments various atmospheric models.
