Vietnam names

Calvin Stevens developed ketamine while working at Parke-Davis in 1961. It is used as a veterinary and human anesthetic, and is a Schedule 111 drug. It was widely used as a field anesthetic in the Vietnam War, and it entered the rave scene in the early 1990s. Ketamine has been used as a date rape drug. Street names include baby food, cat Valium, honey oil, jet, K, keets, ket, special K, super acid, super C, and vitamin K (Figure 10.1). Trade names are Ketalar , Ketajet , and Ketaset . 

The same small corpus of Chinese surnames served for Vietnam and Korea, though the pronunciation of the characters varied even more widely than in Chinese dialects. Nothing so radically marked out the distinctiveness of Vietnam from China than the romanisation of names, along with the rest of the language, in the early twentieth century. When all those with one Chinese character (Ruan in pinyin) became Nguyen, and with another (Pan in pinyin) became Phan, they parted company with the Chinese naming world in a way that could not be rejoined. 

One of the greatest benefits of the formation of Malaysia in 1963 was that it at last created a neutral and artificial name for the country distinct from that of any ethnie. It thereby could in principle, like Indonesia and the Philippines but unlike Thailand, Burma and Vietnam, emphasise the national identity without necessarily marginalising minorities. But there were still profound tensions between the concepts of core ethnie and of neutral citizenship. Lee Kuan Yew s Singapore was expelled from the new country after less than two years because his vigorous campaign for a civic or territorial nationalism— Malaysian Malaysia the assertion that We are here as of right —was considered by Alliance leaders as certain to lead to violent conflict with Malay ethno-nationalism (Mahathir 1970 122). 

The pharmaceutical properties of artemisinin are far from optimal it is insoluble in water and only marginally soluble in oil. It has poor oral bioavailability and has been administered for the treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in humans at total doses of about 1 g (over 3 days). Early studies by Chinese scientists in 1979 led to the discovery of dihydroartemisinin 3, artemether 4 (Artenam), and sodium artesunate 5, oil and water soluble derivatives, respectively (Figure 9.1 ).6-7 These drugs are currently in clinical use in Asia in a number of preparations such as suppositories, i.v. injectables, oil depos, to name only a few.8 Capsules containing 0.5 g of artemisinin for oral administration are available in Vietnam. 

Ith as been known that a very small quantity of DNsoPMT added to crude rubber rendered it, after heating, more pliable and spongy. It is probable that on the strength of this knowledge, the US Agency of International Development shipped in 1966 50 tons of DuPont s DNsoPMT (code named Unicel-100) at 1800 a ton to South. Vietnam, presumably. for manuf of soles for tennis. 

Those mushroom species described above are based on samples collected from islands thus, it is quite logical to expect finding those same species growing on the Asian mainland as well. Soon after Earle published his description of Stropharia (Psilocybe) cubensis in a 1906 edition of a Cuban agriculture journal, Patouillard proposed the species name Naematoloma caerulescens for his own samples of the same species, which were collected in Tonkin (Vietnam) in 1907. In Thailand and Cambodia, Heim found Ifuiting bodies of the species Psilocybe cubensis, providing the first sample from outside of Mexico used by Hofinann and his collaborators to confirm the presence of psilocybin in the fruiting bodies. 

The Seveso disaster began on July 10, 1976 at the Industrie Chimiche Meda Societa Azionaria (ICMESA) chemical plant in Meda, Italy. This event became internationally known as the Seveso disaster, after the name of the most severely affected community. An increase in pressure due to an exothermic reaction in a 2,4,5-trichlorophenol-production reactor caused the rupture disk of the safety valve to burst. About 3000 kg of chemicals were released into the air. The release included 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, used in the manufacture of herbicides, and possibly up to 30 kg of the dioxin TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin). Dioxin first came to widespread public notice during the Vietnam War, when it was identified as a component of the defoliant Agent Orange. Dioxin has also been considered to be the most toxic human-made substance. 

These herbicides have been used extensively in silviculture for control of deciduous trees in conifer forests (13). As a military defoliant, 2,4,5-T was mixed with 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), and an estimated 10 million gallons of this mixture was applied in South Vietnam under the name of Agent Orange. Subsequent analysis of human samples from South Vietnam has found 2,3,7,8-TCDD at elevated levels compared to samples from North Vietnam where Agent Orange was not used (14). 

The mission of these aircraft, and the many others which later joined them, was named Operation Ranch Hand , and was directed not against people, but against the environment of Vietnam. Even so, it is still held responsible for tragic human consequences. 

The recovery of the sap from the tree Rhus vemicifera to obtain urushiol has been described in the classical process (ref. 184, 185) and with regard to recent developments (ref. 186). It is a totally different operation from that with Anacardium occidentale, and not unlike that in the process for natural rubber. The name derives from kiurushi, the Japanese word for sap which is a primary product of the tree. Much less of this very ancient material is now processed in the original region of Sendai, Japan and the main industry is based in China with some in Korea and Japan. In northern Vietnam and Taiwan, a source of lac is Rhus succedanea and in Thailand and Burma, Melanorrhoea usitata. 

The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) [19] was established in 1967 by five countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Brunei Darussalam joined in 1984, Vietnam in 1995, Laos and Myanmar in 1997, and Cambodia in 1999. The ASEAN region has a population of about 500 million. 

There is a cyclonic eddy located off northwestern Luzon, and this eddy exists all the year round, while the cold eddy off the southeast coast of Vietnam is thus named the Vietnam cold eddy. Cross correlation analysis shows that the local air-sea feedback mechanism is the major cause of the formation of the... 

The data presented in this section are part of a cross-cultural study of which the main pnrpose is to compare two very supposedly different countries, Vietnam and France, throngh their respective emotional spaces (i.e., the way emotions are related to each other). For this comparison, we asked Vietnamese and French subjects to perform a Napping on a set of 53 emotions. The emotions were chosen in order to obtain a corpus of words that would be as diverse and comprehensible as possible. Pre-tests were condncted to make sure that the corpus was easily understandable. This study can be divided into two parts, corresponding to two main objectives, namely (1) to understand how emotions were perceived and structured within each country, and (2) to compare Vietnam and France in terms of emotions. To illustrate how Napping can be used to reveal oneself, through emotions as stimuli, we present here results issued from the first part of the study, restricted to the French data (100 French subjects).
