SummaryThe following study will show that in the Vulgate there are far from few discontinuous orders present without any indication in the Hebrew text. These instances include the following patterns: first many examples whose intermediate area is constituted by particles connecting the sentence. They have already been partly coined in the Septuagint, but also, especially in the case of quoque, formed by Jerome to avoid the simple combination of the original and the Greek version. In cases when other words stand in the intermediate area Jerome, even in poetical texts, finds new ways to emphasize the first element of a hyperbaton. Similarly, he often resorts to this method in original texts.

Air Water Interface

The proteins concerned have been spread at the air/water interface on a substrate at physio­logical ionic strengths. Spread protein A has been ‘injected’ with dissolved protein B , and the increase in pressure observed has been attributed to adsorption. This adsorption has been found to depend on the area per molecule of the spread protein, reaching a maximum value at an intermediate area value. It is postulated that adsorption occurs by hydrogen bonds between B and A , and that at a certain stage of compression the bonding groups in A turn so as to form hydrogen bonds within the monolayer, a theory which accords with compressibility and viscosity data on the monolayers. The rate of increase of pressure depends markedly on ionic strength suggesting that the rate of adsorption is influenced by the interaction of ionic groups in A and B . No evidence was obtained for a surface clotting reaction or specific interaction between fibrinogen and thrombin, whichever protein formed the monolayer, suggesting that the specific interaction involves at least two groups in each protein held at a critical spacing.

Following is a review оf the monograph published in 2019 by Yevgeniy G. Vyrshchikov ‘City — Village — Forest: The World of the Creators of the Pali Canon and Their Contemporaries’, which was published in 2019 by the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow (editors: V. V. Vertogradova and V. P. Androsov). This work is a cultural study of the so called Pali Canon, or Tipitaka — the early Buddhist Canon of the Theravada school. It is mainly devoted to ideas about space and related views on the structure of the world and society. To understand the cultural context of the existence of early Buddhist ideas about the world, other sources are also involved — Buddhist, Brahmanic and Hindu texts: Ceylon’s mahavamsa, Arthashastra, Ramayana, Chitrasutra, other Sanskrit texts and Ashoka’s epigraphic inscriptions. In addition, ancient sources are used, such as Strabo’s “Geography”, as well as medieval English ballads about Robin Hood. According to the author, the world of the Pali Canon is divided into three main units of space: The most sacred and pure is the forest — the place where shramans and other ascetics live. Its opposite is the city, which embodies all that is worldly, contrary to asceticism and opposed to it. They are separated by an intermediate area — the countryside (janapada). The monograph explores all three components of this world, analyzes the necessary terminology and conceptual apparatus. The review provides an overview of the main provisions of the monograph and makes some critical comments on its text.

These studies investigated the role of the intermediate area of the ventral surface of the medulla (VMS) in the tracheal constriction produced by hypercapnia. Experiments were performed in chloralose-anesthetized, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated cats. Airway responses were assessed from pressure changes in a bypassed segment of the rostral cervical trachea. Hyperoxic hypercapnia increased tracheal pressure and phrenic nerve activity. Intravenous atropine pretreatment or vagotomy abolished the changes in tracheal pressure without affecting phrenic nerve discharge. Rapid cooling of the intermediate area reversed the tracheal constriction produced by hypercapnia. Graded cooling produced a progressive reduction in the changes in maximal tracheal pressure and phrenic nerve discharge responses caused by hypercapnia. Cooling the intermediate area to 20 degrees C significantly elevated the CO2 thresholds of both responses. These findings demonstrate that structures near the intermediate area of the VMS play a role in the neural cholinergic responses of the tracheal segment to CO2. It is possible that neurons or fibers in intermediate area influence the motor nuclei innervating the trachea. Alternatively, airway tone may be linked to respiratory motor activity so that medullary interventions that influence respiratory motor activity also alter bronchomotor tone.

Sciatic Nerve Stimulation

Respiratory chemical and reflex interventions have been shown to affect nasal resistance or tracheal tone, respectively. In the present study, nasal caliber (assessed from pressure at a constant flow) and tracheal tone (assessed from pressure in a fluid-filled balloon within an isolated tracheal segment) were monitored simultaneously in anesthetized, paralyzed, artificially ventilated (inspired O2 fraction = 100%) cats. We examined the effect of CO2 inhalation and sciatic nerve stimulation as well as the application of nicotine (6 X 10(-4) mol/l) or lidocaine (2% solution) to the intermediate area of the ventral medullary surface (VMS). CO2 and VMS nicotine resulted in a significant increase in tracheal pressure [147 +/- 73 and 91 +/- 86% (SD), respectively]; and a significant reduction in nasal pressure (-35 +/- 10 and -20 +/- 13%, respectively). In contrast, sciatic nerve stimulation resulted in a significant fall in both tracheal (-50 +/- 36%) and nasal pressure (-21 +/- 13%). Application of 2 or 4% lidocaine to the VMS reduced tracheal pressure but did not significantly affect nasal pressure. After VMS lidocaine, nasal and tracheal responses to CO2, sciatic nerve stimulation, or VMS nicotine, when present, were negligible. These results suggest a role for the VMS in the regulation and coordination of nasal and tracheal caliber responses.

The Welfare State

It is the business of sociologists to classify social phenomena and arrange them in categories. They base their operations on concepts which have been rigorously denned and purified to the point at which they resemble prime numbers. The practice has not unnaturally spread into that intermediate area of literature which can be called either popular sociology or intellectual journalism according to taste. But there it is used for tying labels round the necks of highly complex social systems—like “Welfare State”, “Affluent Society” and “Meritocracy”. This is likely to make the purist shrink and shudder. All generalizations are dangerous, and those cunningly expressed in tabloid form are the most dangerous of all. They pass into the language of common speech as familiar truths, instead of being quoted as propositions offered for discussion. One can hardly avoid using a term like the “Welfare State”, and one cannot, when using it, introduce a qualifying parenthesis, since there is no room for parentheses in a catchword. One must either accept it or discard it.
