Alexander VI

AD. Tseng Tsao of Wei at the San Quo Dynasty threw stones in the battle of Kuan Tu by means of the thunder vehicle (Ref 66, p 12), which was actually stone ballista (Ref 66, p 24) 222—235 AD. Alexander VI of Roman Empire called the automatic fire a ball (consisting of quicklime and asphalt) which spontaneously ignited on coming in contact with water (Ref... 

AD Alexander VI of the Roman Empire called a ball of quicklime and asphalt automatic fire which spontaneously ignited on coming into contact with water. 

While the English Crown Jewels lack a rock crystalorb, the Honours of Scotland include such an orb in the Royal Sceptre of King James IV. Either Pope Innocent VII in 1491 or Pope Alexander VI in 1494 presented the Royal Sceptre to hum along with a Golden Rose. 

Once Columbus had discovered America, Spaniards and Portuguese competed for the regions that constitute South and Central America. After some disputes the fields of interest were defined for the two European countries. In 1494, the Borgia Pope Alexander VI draw a Hne, running south from the mouth of the River Amazon to...

The extensive investigations by Astbury and Woods (1933) of the X-ray diffraction patterns of animal fibers before and after stretcihing, setting, or supercontraction (Section VI,5,2) have had a major influence on the models proposed to account for the load-extension properties. Astbury and Woods showed that when animal fibers are stretched, the characteristic a-pattern decreases in intensity with the simultaneous appearance of a d-pattern similar to that obtained from silk. The sharpness and intensity of the /3-pattern increases with sti ain, with temperature, and with time under strain. In the Hookean region the 5.1 A meridional spacing increases by up to 2 % (Astbury and Haggith, 1953). Astbury and Woods (1933) stated that virtually no /3-pattern appears until the fiber has been stret( hed by at least 20 %, and for 25 years this observation dominated the models proposed to explain the elastic properties of wool (Alexander and Hudson, 1954). 

It is not sufficient merely to have such material on the libraiy shelves it must also be carefully indexed. All new books and pamphlets received are examined carefully for information that would not ordinarily be expected in such publications. In The Chemistry of the Non-Benzenoid Hydrocarbons (1922) by B. T. Brooks, for example, there are references to naphthenic acids, production of fatty acids by wax oxidation, and synthetic lubricating oils. In Volume VI of Colloid Chemistry (1946) edited by Jerome Alexander, there are chapters on the Geiger-Miiller x-ray spectrometer, electron microscopy, catalysis and its industrial applications, soil stabilization, polythene, and potential nuclear energy. Such information is typed on 3 X 5 cards on some books as many as forty or fifty cards may be required. In this way an extremely useful file of information has been built up that might otherwise be overlooked as valuable data sometimes appear in unexpected places.

Some of the therapies mentioned in the BMA Report are complementary in that they can be used in conjunction with orthodox treatments. For example, chiropractic, osteopathy, reflexology, Shiatsu and the Alexander technique all involve manipulation of muscle and bones and could be used to complement NSAID-based treatment. Others are genuinely alternatives which attempt to replace orthodox medicines, e.g. herbalism and homoeopathy, while some, e.g. acupuncture, are being assimilated into conventional medical practice. This chapter concentrates on those therapies which rely heavily on the use of plant materials and attempts to explain the basis of the therapy and provide examples of the plants used. In particular, the interrelationship between herbalism, herbal medicines and the phytotherapeutic use of plants, described in Chapter VI, is explored.
