British interruption

The first photograph of Gouy interference fringes was published by Longsworth (4) in 1945 in a symposium on diffusion, and this led to the development of the American version of the Gouy interference method, announced in 1947 (5,6). An independently developed British version, interrupted by World War II, was announced in 1948 (7). 

The fourth symposium, organized by Gulzari Malli (Simon Fraser University) and Bob Snider (University of British Columbia) was held in 1971 on UBC s beautiful campus in Vancouver. Plans for the fifth symposium in the nation s capital, Ottawa, were modified when the First International Congress of Quantum Chemistry was organized in 1973 in Menton, France. David Bishop (University of Ottawa) and Vedene Smith (Queen s University) organized the fifth symposium in Ottawa in 1974. The shift from a biennial to a triennial conference established a natural rotation between the American Conference on Theoretical Chemistry,18 the Canadian Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry, and the International Congress of Quantum Chemistry. This rotation has continued without interruption for more than two decades. 

It is important to prepare for the consultation, as quite often you will be interrupting a busy surgery. There are two main issues the patient and the drug. Before speaking to the prescriber you need to obtain the complete picture and formulate plans. References need to be checked, such as the British National Formulary, summary of product characteristics, other drug information, etc. You also need full information with regard to the patient, name, address, age, most of which will be available from the prescription. The NHS number (or equivalent) for the patient should also be available. 

Francis Harry Compton Crick was born on 8 June 1916 in Northampton, England. He studied physics at University College, London, where he obtained a BSc in 1937. He then started his PhD in physics, which was interrupted in 1939 by the outbreak of World War II. Crick worked as a scientist for the British Admiralty until he left in 1947 to study biology in Cambridge, where he worked at the Strangeways Research Laboratory. 

Yes, sir, but just the same, if it does will the British officers go tvith it I said, talking very fast so as to get this question out before I could be interrupted again. 

Mr. Truman did not like to read long reports. This report was not long, considering the size of the project. It was about twenty-four pages and he would constantly interrupt his reading to say, Why, I don t like to read papers. And Mr. Stimson and I would reply Well we can t tell you this in any more concise language. This is a big project. For example, we discussed our relations with the British in about four or five lines. It was that much condensed. We had to explain all the processes and we might just say what they were and that was about all. 

The overlap between essays and fiction is pervasive. The idea of the essay is very important to Jacob s Room, whose novel-biography provides an alternative to the sort of historical essays Jacob is writing on great men, and which contains within it set-piece essays - on letter-writing, on Greece, on the British Library - which interrupt and develop the fictional story. Orlando is a series of brilliant essays on history, fashions, literary periods and sexuality, and is closely connected to Woolf s fiction book, to the shape of many of her biographical essays and to a political piece such as... 

Nor have we been wanting in our attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
