Continuum (“classical”) physics rests on arbitrary units of mass, length and time; it is “scale invariant”. Modern physics is quantized. Dalton and Prout recognized that mass is quantized, Faraday and Thompson showed that electric charge is quantized and Planck and Einstein discovered that action is quantized. Once these three facts are grasped, the goal of physics should be to replace MLTphysi...

tom. He can neither sit still, nor concentrate, nor do any one thing for even a short space of time?a much shorter space than the word concentration implies. His mother insists his trouble is due to a fall. She adds the fact that about the time of the fall he had a touch of sleeping sickness. No final diagnosis has yet been made, but, on the basis of probabilities, the fall has most likely had ...

The Paterson Lectureship was created by Associated Medical Services some years ago to support the annual program of the Canadian Society for the History of Medicine, and to recognize the contributions made by G. R. Paterson to the CSHM while he was Executive Director of the Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine. I thank the selection committee ; I am honored to be invited to be the AMS/P...

Micrococcaceae isolated from the shunt, ventricles, and bloodstream of children with colonized ventriculo-venous shunts were classified within the scheme of Baird-Parker (1963). With one exception, all belonged to subgroup II of the genus Staphylococcus; tests were therefore devised for division within this subgroup, and results are reported in 30 cases from this and other hospitals. Skin and n...

Parker instability leads to the formation of tangential discontinuities in a magnetic field and subsequent magnetic reconnection due to a numerical and/or an explicit resistivity. In this paper we investigate the role of the uniform, localized and numerical resistivity on the diffusion of magnetic field lines during the growth phase of Parker instability modes. We propose a new method to quanti...
