Nephrology at the time of Nephron's Inception in 1964: an eye-opener on progress in the field.

چکیده
Society of Nephrology (ISN), by Jean Hamburger in Paris. The new society decided to create an international journal of nephrology to be called Nephrologia . The publisher was to be Karger Editions of Basel, the current publisher of Nephron journals. After a few years of haggling, a name change to Nephron was agreed, and Gabriel Richet of Paris and George Schreiner in Washington, D.C., were to be its founding Editors-in-Chief. At the time of writing of this editorial, Professor Richet is alive and well and living in Paris. The ISN had held its first congress in 1960 in Evian, France, where the word ‘nephrology’ was used for the first time in a formal context. The proceedings of the Congress were published in a relatively large tome by S. Karger (Basel and New York) in 1961 [2] . The purpose of this editorial is to try to understand what was on the minds of the founders of the discipline of nephrology around the time when the first issues of Nephron started to roll off the press in 1964. Articles from the earliest issues of the journal were undoubtedly reflective of the key interests of the times, but to make the analysis more inclusive, I have referred to the proceedings of the first ISN Congress in 1960, when a broad range of topics was in evidence (individual contributions are not referenced separately). What follows is a personal view of Introduction

Determination of Electric Field at Inception Based upon Current-Voltage Characteristics of AC Corona in Rod-Plane Gaps
This paper deals with the measurement of AC corona inception voltage, Vincp, at the tip of a rod electrode using a hemispherically-capped rod-plane electrode configuration for various rod radii with a short air gap. Effects of atmospheric pressure and temperature variation on Vincp are investigated experimentally. An empirical equation for the field form factors of the hemispherically cappe...
