  • In Mr. Knox's Country
    In Mr. Knox's Country By Martin Ross IN MR. KNOX'S COUNTRY I THE AUSSOLAS MARTIN CAT Flurry Knox and I had driven some fourteen miles to a tryst with one David Courtney, of Fanaghy. But, at the appointed cross-roads, David Courtney was not. It was a gleaming morning in mid-May, when everything was young and tense and thin and fit to run for its life, like a Derby horse. Above us was such of the spacious bare country as we had not already climbed, with nothing on it taller than a thorn-bush from one end of it to the other. The hill-top blazed with yellow furze, and great silver balls of cloud looked over its edge. Nearly as white were the little white-washed houses that were tucked in and out of the grey rocks on the hill-side. "It's up there somewhere he lives," said Flurry, turning his cart across the road; "which'll you do, hold the horse or go look for him?" I said I would go to look for him. I mounted the hill by a wandering bohireen resembling nothing so much as a series of bony elbows; a white-washed cottage presently confronted me, clinging, like a sea-anemone, to a rock. I knocked at the closed door, I tapped at a window held up by a great, speckled foreign shell, but without success. Climbing another elbow, I repeated the process at two successive houses, but without avail. All was as deserted as Pompeii, and, as at Pompeii, the live rock in the road was worn smooth by feet and scarred with wheel tracks.

  • 470 Aim. the Purpose of This Study Is to Point out the Necessity Of
    Aim. The purpose of this study is to point out the necessity of pharmaceutical and medical terminology. Materials and methods. The material of the study were pharmaceutical vocabulary units of different spheres of use. Research methods are description, comparison, analysis. Results and discussion. Pharmaceutical and medical English is the key to working and training abroad or in a multilingual environment. Knowing the exact terms of active ingredients, diseases, diagnoses, organs of the human body and examinations is an increasingly indispensable competence in an international environment such as medicine. Conclusion. It is a demanding but highly specialized activity, which no automatic translation program can do for you, and as a result is very well paid. If you work in the medical or pharmaceutical field, think about the opportunities you could have with a good English medical dictionary in this area: you can work and specialize abroad, write and talk to colleagues, doctors, staff and patients abroad, read texts and follow conferences in English. ORIGIN OF ENGLISH NAMES OF THE MONTHS Koval M. R. Scientific supervisor: Vnukova K.V. National University of Pharmacy, Kharkiv, Ukraine [email protected] Introduction. Actually, there are a lot of interesting facts in English history and culture about the origin of English names of the months. The calendar has gone through some changes. The ancient Roman calendar began in March and ended in February. And even though the calendar looked different than ours, the Romans did have a big impact on our calendar today. They came up with the names. Aim. To analyze and to investigate different ways of origin of English names of the months.

    Interviewee: Ronnie Waugh (RW) Interviewer: Margaret Smith (MS) Date of Interview: 7 April 2015 Ref: DG38-15-1-3-T MS: Ronnie, on this occasion is going to talk about his very early memories of growing up in the village of Dunscore. So, Ronnie can we maybe start with when and where you were born in Dunscore? RW: Well, as I said in my earlier interview, I was actually born south of the border, I was born in Kendal. No recollection of that, I was back when I was virtually a baby, my parents moved back up here and I spent virtually, my whole, well, all my boyhood, up until I was about sixteen, in Dunscore but when ah first moved back to Dunscore we lived in a little hamlet called Black Steps just on the outskirts o the village and that’s where ma earliest memories stem from and my first conscious memories, oddly enough, are at Black Steps, lying on ma bed one night, very, very peaceful little place, not a sound there, and all of a sudden ah could hear this strange humming and buzzing noise in the sky and it got louder and louder and I was terrified and ah can remember, although I was very, very young, I can remember jumping out of bed and running to my mother and grandmother and of course, at that time, I was much too young to understand. Eventually this noise faded away into the distance but what it had been was actually the German bombers, they came right over, they used to come right up over Dumfries and over where we lived there and that was them going to bomb Clydebank, which was about March/April ‘41, ‘42.

  • Studies on Theenzymology of Purified Preparations of Brush Border
    Biochem. J. (1973) 134, 43-57 43 Printed in Great Britain Studies on the Enzymology of Purified Preparations of Brush Border from Rabbit Kidney By S. G. GEORGE and A. J. KENNY Department of Biochemistry, University ofLeeds, 9 Hyde Terrace, Leeds LS2 9LS, U.K. (Received 16 November 1972) 1. A method for the preparation of brush border from rabbit kidneys is described. Contamination by other organelles was checked by electron microscopy and by the assay ofmarker enzymes and was low. 2. Seven enzymes, all hydrolases, were substantially enriched in the brush-border preparation and are considered to be primarily located in this structure. They are: alkaline phosphatase, maltase, trehalase, aminopeptidase A, aminopeptidase M, y-glutamyl transpeptidase and a neutral peptidase assayed by its ability to hydrolyse [1251]iodoinsulin B chain. 3. Adenosine triphosphatases were also present in the preparation, but showed lower enrichments. 4. Alkaline phosphatase was the most active phosphatase present in the preparation. The weak hydrolysis of AMP may well have been due to this enzyme rather than a specific 5'-nucleotidase. 5. The two disaccharidases in brush border were distinguished by the relative heat-stability of trehalase compared with that of maltase. 6. The individuality of the four peptidases was established by several means. The neutral peptidase and aminopeptidase M, both of which can attack insulin B chain, differed not only in response to inhibitors and activators but also in the inhibitory effect of a guinea-pig antiserum raised to rabbit aminopeptidase M. This antiserum inhibited both the purified and the brush-border activities of amino- peptidase M.
