ALTHOUGH vaccinia of the eye is an uncommon condition, over 200 cases had been recorded by 1940, and several additional cases have since been described, the most recent of which are those of King and Robie (1951) and Kline (1951). Very few of these publications have appeared in the British literature and Atkinson and Scullard (1940), who collected 91 cases between 1919 and 1940, do not record o...

This article challenges the received wisdom that French public opinion was infused with pacifist sentiment during the 1930s, and that this sentiment in turn contributed to the French defeat of 1940. It will suggest that French public attitudes towards the prospect of war can be better defined as ‘war anxiety’ rather than the value-laden term ‘pacifist’. Taking as a test case the period between ...

The fact that urethane, a structurally unrelated compound, can inhibit sulfanilamide action has caused Johnson (1942) to question the competitive metabolite hypothesis developed by McIntosh and Whitby (1939), Stamp (1939), Fildes (1940), Green (1940), Woods (1940) and Woods and Fildes (1940). He would explain the antagonism of p-aminobenzoic acid on the basis of the well-known fact that narcoti...

Land use and land cover (LULC) was mapped using historical aerial photos (1940) and contemporary QuickBird satellite imagery (2003) for a 100 km2 area covering portions of Erie Township, Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio on the western end of Lake Erie. This area serves as a microcosm of conditions elsewhere on the Great Lakes coast, containing a range of human-altered to natural landscapes. Geographi...
