The states of Europe have a deep history of pharmacopeial activity that even now is evidenced in publications by the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and Russia that date from the late 18th century. European unification as a modern process saw the creation of a common drug standard in 1964. The European Pharmacopoeia (EP) grew out of subsequent discussions within the European Economic Committee to establish a common set of rules and guidelines for the quality of drugs among the member states. 

Yet as with Irish immigrants, who came ashore already carrying the cultural and political baggage of Saxon oppression, the Jews version of becoming Caucasian cannot be understood apart from their particular history of special sorrows in the ghettos of Eastern Europe, apart from the deep history of anti-Semitism in Western culture, apart from anti-Semitic stereotypes that date back well before the European arrival on North American shores, or apart, finally and most obviously, from the historic cataclysm of the Holocaust.

One is inclined to think of materials as being solids when editing an encyclopedia of materials some years ago, I found it required an effort of imagination to include articles on various aspects of water, and on inks. Yet one of the most important families of materials in the general area of consumer electronics are liquid crystals, used in inexpensive displays, for instance in digital watches and calculators. They have a fascinating history as well as deep physics. 

While 1 was in Argentina in 1955, Sabato took me to visit a brand new laboratory in Patagonia, deep in the south , near the ski resort of San Carlos de Bariloche. This was, and still is, the Centro Atomico de Bariloche (CAB). It is an institution (formally part of a local university) for research and teaching in physics, ranging from particle physics to solid-state physics. Its origin is one of the most curious in the entire history of academe. 

Next, I want to acknowledge my deep debt to the late Professor Cyril Stanley Smith, metallurgist and historian, who taught me much of what 1 know about the proper approach to the history of a technological discipline and gave me copies of many of his incomparable books, which are repeatedly cited in mine. 

To infer accumulation rate history from an ice core, one needs to measure the thickness of annual layers (either directly if annual layers are resolvable, or by differentiating the depth-age scale determined by other means) and then correct for the thinning of these layers caused by the ice flow (the vertical strain Fig. 18-4). Estimates of vertical strain can be very uncertain for the deep part of an ice core. But vertical strain will not change rapidly with depth. Thus, if annual layers are resolvable one can learn relative accumulation rate changes across climate transitions with great confidence. 

Since deep chemical peels are based on phenol-containing solutions, it seems that the history of this procedure starts at the moment of car-... 

Miller (1989) is the question of how such an ancient organism has come to exist on a comparatively new oceanic island. Long-distance dispersal is an unlikely explanation for the present situation. Dispersal over shorter distances from island to island seems a reasonable possibility, with subsequent disappearance of many, or apparently all in the present case, of the intermediate stepping stones. Invocation of island hopping, after all, has many precedents. As Miller (1989) pointed out, obviously some vascular plant lineages have survived, some of which may have histories that reach back to the Antarctic flora. Needless to say, deep phylogenetic analyses would be helpful in addressing this question.

A 62-year-old male with history of diabetes and PVD comes to the emergency department complaining of a "painful sore" on his left lower leg. After questioning him, you determine that the wound has been present for months and has not responded to oral antibiotic therapy. On physical examination, a large, deep wound with purulent drainage is seen. 

A 39-year-old male with chronic steroid-dependent asthma who recently relocated to Phoenix, Arizona presents with a 4-week history of increasing fever, dry cough, and pain upon deep inspiration. He also reports arthralgias and night sweats over the last 3 weeks. A chest radiograph reveals a small area of consolidation in the left lower lobe and some hilar adenopathy. Otherwise, all other routine tests and cultures appear negative. 

Paul Quarrie of Sotheby s Books and Manuscripts department in London has written that these manuscripts reveal that Newton s "knowledge of alchemical literature was vast, and in his studies of divinity and church history his reading and scholarship were wide and deep. Whilst they do not show him at work on those matters for which he will always remain famous, they do show his extraordinary focussed and dogged mind hard at work exploring the mysteries of life and seeking for truth and an explanation of how the divine is made manifest."... 

Extensive, horizontal sandstone plateaus occur in tropical shield areas. Well-known examples are the Precambrian Roraima sandstone formations on the Guiana Shield and the Voltaian sandstone formations in Western Africa. Major occurrences of consolidated sands are found in Northern Africa, in Guyana and Surinam, eastern Peru, northeastern Brazil and in Liberia (western Africa). These sandstone formations have a history of tropical weathering in common they all have a deep weathering mantle of bleached, white sands that are very rich in quartz, poor in clay and excessively drained. Electrolyte contents differ by region In arid and semi-arid areas where evaporation exceeds precipitation, salts and carbonates may accumulate at or near the surface of the soil.
