Página 91 - Rowland and other experimentalists on the specific heat of water, and the mechanical equivalent of heat, had shown that grave uncertainties affected the value of this most fundamental physical constant, which could not be removed satisfactorily without a complete investigation of the variation of the specific heat of water between 0° and 100° C. Professor •Callendar devised a continuous electrical method of attacking this problem, possessing many important advantages as compared with older methods....
Página 90 - ... physiological and protective reaction of the organism against infection. The study of the infection of Daphnia by Monospora bicuspidata entirely justified this prediction. The account of the phenomena of infection as seen in this transparent Crustacean was published in ' Virchow's Archiv ' (vol. 96) in 1884, while, later in the same year, Metchnikoff published another paper extending these observations to Vertebrates, and showing the universal applicability of his generalisation as to the essential...

Página 266 - Specific bacteria present in sewage may be ejected into the air of ventilation pipes, inspection chambers, drains, and sewers by (a) the bursting of bubbles at the surface of the sewage, (I) the separation of dried particles from the walls of pipes, chambers, and sewers, and probably by (c) the ejection of minute droplets from flowing sewage.

Página 9 - SYPHILIS. THE difficulties in the early diagnosis of syphilis have been materially lessened by bacteriological examinations of the secretion of the suspected chancre, since the presence or absence of the Treponema pallidum will enable the surgeon to arrive at a definite conclusion as to the nature of the sore and to commence the treatment at the earliest possible opportunity. The chancre, or initial lesion of the disease, requires local treatment, but tends to heal directly the patient is placed...
Página 410 - ... by Hardy has shown that this body forms adsorption combinations with acids, alkalies, or neutral salts. With acids and alkalies the globulin forms ' salts ' which ionise in solution so that in an electric field the entire mass of protein moves. These salts cannot be precipitated by dialysis. In them the globulin acts much more strongly as an acid than as a base, so that a weak acid, such as acetic acid, has a much smaller dissolving power over globulin than has the equivalent amount of hydrochloric...

Página 187 - The energetic phagocytosis which accompanies the spontaneous absorption of transplanted tumours, and which occurs in absorption after exposure to radium, speaks strongly for the conclusion that the processes are the same in kind when blood or tumour cells, being absorbed, produce resistance. But we are as yet unable to determine the extent to which agencies directed against the tumour cells themselves may assist in determining their early death in protected animals.
