Page 85 - On the Horizontal Visual Penetrability of the Atmosphere, or the Extreme Limits of View along the Earth's Surface," is sufficient indication that the work was regarded as having more than local significance.
Page 348 - ... gradient of pressure produces the storm. But it is now demonstrated that, even when the distribution of pressure at the base is as observed in storms still the horizontal movements of the masses have a potential energy that is only a small fraction of the observed kinetic energy. So far as I can see the source of storms is to be sought only in the potential energy of position.
Page 31 - Thus the equations of motion reduce to " 2 ,f.* ... (8) lf5 . . (9) . (10) In this form they are ready to serve as a basis for a classification of winds. In the first place we note that the pressure terms are always important. If the contrary was true it would mean that each portion of the fluid pursued its path independently, without being appreciably interfered with by the impacts of surrounding portions. But this is simply the condition that the free path of a molecule should be great compared...
Page 14 - ... supposed geographical agreement. 6. Since the geographical distribution of Anopheles in England is wider than the former distribution of ague in this country, we are forced to conclude that it is not a matter of the geographical distribution of Anopheles as much as of their numerical distribution. 7. Our observations having proved the existence of Anopheles in non-malarious districts, we believe that they will explain the occasional occurrence of ague in...
Page 47 - With regard to the reverse currents in mountain breezes, the clearest instance he had seen described was the one he had himself observed in Derbyshire and described in the paper. As to the turning of the sea breeze during the day, the theory deals only with extreme cases, and it is quite possible that ordinary sea breezes are intermediate in character. Their most striking characteristics, that they blow at right angles to the isotherms and extend to only a small altitude, are the same as those of...
Page 113 - The Council of the Royal Astronomical Society has decided to issue special supplements to the Monthly Notices, containing papers of Geophysical interest. Non-members of the Society who wish to receive these supplements are invited to apply as soon as possible to the Assistant Secretary, Royal Astronomical Society, Burlington House, London, WI, intimating that they desire to become subscribers.
Page 212 - In about five minutes after it returned again, as high and with as great rapidity as before. The agitation continued in the same manner, from half an hour past nine...
Page 20 - Abdullah ibn Sawada used to suffer from attacks of mixed fever, sometimes quotidian, sometimes tertian, sometimes quartan, and sometimes recurring once in six days. These attacks were preceded by a slight rigor, and micturition was very frequent. I gave it as my opinion that either these accesses of fever would turn into quartan, or that there was ulceration of the kidneys. Only a short while elapsed ere the patient passed pus in his urine. I thereupon informed him that these feverish attacks would...
