This article is a critical reassessment of the major Knossian deposits assigned by Evans to the Middle Minoan I A phase. It is divided into three main sections: first, an introduction, in which the author discusses the development of the definition of Knossian MM IA pottery; second, a detailed discussion of each deposit, based upon a systematic and first-hand re-examination of the ceramic material, and of the relevant written sources; third, a discussion of the problems concerning the classification of these deposits, and a typological study of their ceramic assemblages. The picture of Knossian MM IA pottery which emerges from this study is remarkably different from that presented by Evans, which is generally accepted. This has further implications not only for the study of Minoan pottery, but also for the early history of the site.

Date of «birth» of phytosociology (phytocenology) is considered to be 1910, when at the third International Botanical Congress in Brussels adopted the definition of plant association in the wording Including Flaó and K. Schröter (Flahault, Schröter, 1910; Alexandrov, 1969). The centenary of this momentous event in the history of phytocenology devoted to the 46th edition of the Yearbook «Braun-Blanquetia», which began to emerge in 1984 in Camerino (Italy) and it has a task to publish large geobotanical works. During the years of the publication of the Yearbook on its pages were published twice work of the Russian scientists — «The steppes of Mongolia» (Z. V. Karamysheva, V. N. Khramtsov. Vol. 17. 1995), and «Classification of continental hemiboreal forests of Northern Asia» (N. B. Ermakov in collaboration with English colleagues and J. Dring, J. Rodwell. Vol. 28. 2000).

History Of

A brief review of the major advances since 1979 in Silurian and Devonian palaeobotany is followed by a preliminary report on a Gedinnian assemblage from the Welsh Borderland. This is dominated by rhyniopsids and includes several species of Cooksonia and Salopella . Spores have been isolated from a number of taxa. The assemblage is used to illustrate the problems of recognition and classification of early vascular plants. Parallel sedimentological and palaeogeographical studies permit speculation on the ecology and life histories of the plants that colonized the Old Red Continent. It is concluded that the lack of well preserved and independently dated assemblages from elsewhere in the world (an exception being the Baragwanathia flora of Australia) prevents the detection of any provincialism in the late Silurian and early Devonian and makes generalizations on the early history of vascular plants premature.

Rain Cloud

Luke Howard, F.R.S., is an outstanding figure in the history of meteorology (1). His published works, notably The Climate of London (1818) based on his observations, were landmarks in the early history of the subject, while his theories of the causes of rain and the influence of atmospheric electricity on precipitation have been largely confirmed by modern investigation. His most significant contribution to the science, however, was the publication, in 1803, in his ‘Essay on the Modification of Clouds’ (5), of the first classification of the cloud formations on a scientific basis which found general acceptance: his Latin terminology—cirrus, cumulus, stratus and their modifications, including nimbus, the rain-cloud—is still employed in the modern classification of cloud forms (2).

The article analyzes scientific views, the concept of "diaspora", classification of diasporas, modern and classical diasporas, a description of existing scientific views as an object of a transnational community. The conclusion is made about the absence of a single generally accepted definition of the concept of “diaspora”, which is necessary both theoretically and practically. n the conclusion, the author's views on improving research on the history of diasporas are presented.

This chapter begins by setting out the definition of a patent, covering issues such as exclusionary right, property right, and limited duration. It then traces the early history of patents in England. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, monopolies in commodities such as salt, coal, playing cards, and many others were frequently granted by letters patent either to raise revenue, or to reward royal favourites at the public expense. The first English patent granted to an inventor in the modern sense of the word appears to have been that to Giacopo Acontio in 1565 for a new type of furnace. The remainder of the chapter discusses the early histories of patents in Continental Europe (Venice, Germany, France, and the Netherlands) and North America.

The term lepidic is used prominently in the recently published multidisciplinary classification of adenocarcinoma. The lack of use in common (nonmedical) English has led to some confusion over the proper definition of this term. This historical perspective traces the history of the term lepidic from its origins at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, through its uses in English pathologic descriptions, to its current state in pulmonary pathology.

The present article surveys the scholarship on the calendars represented in the Qumran texts and the Pseudepigrapha. The survey commences with the influential articles by VanderKam in the late 1970s, while relating also to Jaubert's earlier hypothesis. After a presentation and classification of the relevant texts, we proceed to elucidate the prominent calendrical and historical themes: the calendar in Jubilees and the Temple Scroll; the early history of the 364-day year in Judah; the non-Jewish origins of the 364-day calendar tradition; intercalation and the beginning of the day; and the various accounts of lunar phases in writings from Qumran. Broadly speaking, present-day research tends to emphasize the schematic aspect of the 364-day calendar tradition, renouncing the older view of this system as a `solar' calendar. In addition, Jaubert's hypothesis on the antiquity of the 364-day calendar, although still upheld in significant parts of current scholarship, is seriously challenged when viewed in a broader historical context. Finally, the Jewish astronomical and calendrical lore is increasingly explained on the background of astral sciences in the Hellenistic world—from Mesopotamia to Egypt.

This article gives a brief overview of the life, manuscripts, and works of Yusuf Hamadoni, who contributed to the spread of the Khojaly sect. Through this information, we are exploring our history and cultural heritage, as well as promoting the teachings of Naqshbandi, the information given in these manuscripts is the most valuable information about the “Khojagon sect” and its pir today. At the same time, it is more important than ever that the books published today have a deeper content and a better style. This, in turn, leads to clear conclusions about changes in the manuscripts, eliminating errors and confusions in sentences and phrases. As a result, the quality and weight of research on manuscripts written in the last century will increase. Addressing these shortcomings has become one of the most pressing issues today. Issues such as the problem of the history of the text of written sources in the early days of the Khojagon sect and the definition of the scientific and theoretical basis of the text of these works are the features that determine its relevance today. In particular, it is necessary to acquaint our people, especially our youth, with the beliefs and views of Abdukhalik Gijduvani, Khoja Arif Revgari, Khoja Ali Romitani in these manuscript sources.

The study presents the ceramic assemblage from Jiyeh, including a typological and chronological classification of the vessels, and discusses the finds in relation to trends and phenomena typical of Phoenician pottery production in the periods in question. The overall picture of local workshop output contributes important insights into the history of ancient trade and craftsmanship in central Phoenicia. A formal examination of the ceramic material, combined with a review of ancient sources, written and other, sheds light on the administrative status of the settlement in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, placing it convincingly in the hinterland of Sidon rather than Berytus. Moreover, it has added a unique small-town perspective to the study of the economy of ancient Phoenicia, based so far chiefly on data from the large urban centres like Sidon, Tyre and Berytus.

This chapter assesses the work of Sir Robert Chambers by comparing it with that of other professors of English law. It focuses on the analytical structure Chambers gave to English law. The first part briefly discusses the early history of university lectures and, in particular, the adoption of the structure of Justinian’s Institutes. This is followed by an account of the problems encountered by professors of English law in setting forth their subject, and of the solutions they adopted. The third section provides a detailed analysis of the structure Chambers used for his lectures in comparison with that used by Blackstone. This is followed by some general conclusions and observations.
