 Lower Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lower Canada was a British colony in North America, at the downstream end of the Saint Lawrence River in the southern portion of the modern-day province of Quebec.
Following the Rebellion of 1837, the 1791 constitution was suspended on March 27, 1838 and a special council was appointed to administer the colony.
Lower Canada was merged in 1841 with Upper Canada to form the single colony of the Province of Canada with the Act of Union; it was then also called, unofficially but widely, Canada East.

 Red Gold . Innovators & Pioneers . Richard Lower | PBS
Lower was invited to join the Royal Society early in his residence in London, and for a few years he was closely associated with the society and its various scientific activities.
Already in 1658 Lower and Willis were looking into the fundamental problem from which, when solved, all of Lower's principal results were to derive: the reason for the perceived difference in color between venous and arterial blood.
Lower himself at first accepted this theory of a sudden, energetic enkindling of the blood in the closed chambers of the heart as an explanation for the lighter, more vivid appearance of arterial blood.

 Upper and Lower Previsions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This is an introduction to the concepts of lower and upper prevision and the mathematical theory of coherence.
Because upper and lower previsions have a simple behavioural interpretation, it is easy to understand the practical meaning of conclusions that are expressed in terms of them, and to use them in making decisions.
This establishes a close connection between the theory of lower previsions and the theory of Bayesian robustness (Berger, 1994) [1], which uses sets of additive probability measures (equivalent to linear previsions) to model uncertainty.

Originally a cypress swamp, the area was the lower portion of plantations that stretched from the river to the lake.
As a result of the activism of residents (particularly from the Lower Ninth Ward) that emerged with the fight for civil rights, and the expertise of the NAACP legal team, the school desegregation movement marked New Orleans as the first deep-South school district to open its all-white doors to fl children.
The Lower Ninth Ward stands to be the neighborhood most affected by the Industrial Canal Lock Project since the actual facilities replacement will occur between Claiborne and Florida Avenues and changes will be made to the bridges that flank the area.
