Thompson, Edward Palmer (E. P.) (1924–1993)

Abstract

Edward Palmer (E. P.) Thompson was a historian, dissident communist, and peace activist. One of the English‐speaking world's finest social historians and a lifelong campaigner for human rights and critic of powerful elites, he fits easily in few preconceived understandings of radicalism. Reared in a household steeped in the proselytizing zeal of Methodist missionaries, Thompson himself was a dissident atheist. With an American mother and an English father, his origins were unmistakably internationalist, yet he would often mistakenly be associated with a narrow parochialism.

Periodic Acid Schiff‐Positive Non‐Glycogenic Globules in Hepatocytes

“…Masson trichrome connective-tissue, long Ziehl-Neelsen acid fast, Mallory phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin (PTAH) ( 12) alcian blue of pH 2.6 with van Gieson (alcian Eskelund) staining (51, Perls' method for iron, alkaline Congo red method of Putchtler, Sweat & Lavine (17), Gordon & Sweet reticulin staining (7), and the immunoperoxidase reaction to demonstrate antigenic identity of the globulus with A-I -AT. For the immunoperoxidase reaction the %layer immunoenzyme bridge technique of Palmer et al (13) was used with the modifications described previously (18).…”

Effect of Internal Breeding of Tritium and Helium-3 on the Ignition of an ICF Fuel Pellet

“…These reactions have large reaction rate that can raise the temperature fast enough to cause ignition. Since the reaction rate of T(D,n) 4 He reaction is larger than 3 He(D,p) 4 He reaction and then the final content of tritium is smaller than helium-3, ( fig. 5).…”

“…However, corresponding this paper, the early ignition at time evolution of the hot spot is occurred in a different manner. In fact the deuterium reactions (D(D,p)T and D(D,n) 3 He) produce tritium and helium-3 and these ions play a catalyzer 26 role via secondary reactions (T(D,n) 4 He and 3 He(D,p) 4 He) 27 . These reactions have large reaction rate that can raise the temperature fast enough to cause ignition.…”

“…Since the most practical nuclear fusion reaction for power generation seems to be the DT reaction, the sources of these fuels are important. The deuterium part of the fuel does not pose a great problem because about 1 part in 5000 of the hydrogen in seawater is deuterium 4 .…”

E. P. Thompson

“…No final da década de 1970, o historiador publicou The Poverty of Theory: Or an Orrery of Errors 5 , polemizando com o filósofo Louis Althusser. De acordo com Palmer (1996), Thompson via um idealismo mecânico em Althusser, pois sua teoria consistiria em restringir toda a capacidade de intervenção humana à esfera superestrutural. Assim, a teoria althusseriana "reifica[ria] a base econômica, apreendida somente como modelo estático e não como relações de mudança e transformação" (PALMER, 1996, pp.…”
