It is tempting for the economic historian to attribute the Allies victory to their combined technological, industrial and manpower resources. This position has been put forward most convincingly by Mark Harrison, who has argued that, while purely military factors more than offset the Allied economic advantage down to 1942, thereafter economics determined the outcome in a war of attrition. However, as...

The nepenthe (Gk "free from sorrow") mentioned in the Odyssey probably contained opium. Opium smoking was widely practiced in China and the Near East until recently. Isolation of active opium alkaloids and the introduction of the hypodermic needle, allowing parenteral use of morphine, increased opioid use in the West. The first of several "epidemics" of opioid use in the USA followed the Civil War. About 4% of adults in the USA used opiates regularly during the postbellum period. By the 1900s, the number had dropped to about 1 in 400 people in the USA, but the problem was still considered serious enough to justify passage of the Harrison Narcotic Act just before World War I. A new epidemic of opioid use started around 1964 and has continued unabated ever since. While fear of AIDS has reduced intravenous use of heroin, recent increases in its purity have led to markedly increased intranasal use. Present estimates are that the number of opioid-dependent people in the USA has stabilized at around 750,000.

Marks and Rifkind (1978) have reviewed the characteristics of the induced differentiation and listed the large variety of inducers (e.g. butyric acid, hemin, ouabain) which may be used in place of dimethylsulphoxide. However, not all these inducers produce the same effects in all the clones tested and some DMSO resistant variants exhibit different phenotypes (Harrison et al., 1978). The most commonly used inducers are DMSO and HMBA (hexamethylene bi-sacetamide). 

Harrison s reagent (a mixture of non-aqueous solutions of 4-(lV,iV-dimethylamino)-benzaldehyde and diphenylamine) yields a yellow, orange, or brown colour on contact with phosgene, according to concentration [165,1742]. A more marked colour change (yellow to blue) is observed when N,yV-dialkylanilines are coupled to the above aldehyde, and exposed to phosgene [1255] ...
