(1932) Bloodless coup that put an end to absolute monarchy in Siam (Thailand) and initiated the Constitutional Era. The coup was headed by the Promoters, a group that included members of the Thai elite, noted intellectuals, and disaffected army officers. Their first constitution, the Temporary Constitution, stripped the king of power and put it in the hands of the Promoters themselves. The Permanent, or December, Constitution restored some of the royal prestige and dignity and introduced some liberal, Western-style reforms. None of Thailand's subsequent constitutions effectively limited political power or provided a means by which political contests could be decided. See also Luang Phibunsongkhram; Pridi Phanomyong

An agent that is not carcinogenic itself, but when administered after an initiator of carcinogenesis, stimulates the clonal expansion of the initiated cell to produce a neoplasm
a region of DNA usually occurring upstream from a gene coding region and acting as a controlling element in the expression of that gene It serves as a recognition signal for an RNA polymerase and marks the site of initiation of transcription
This is an agent which increases tumour production by another substance when applied to susceptible organisms after their exposure to the first substance
A segment of DNA located at the "front" end of a gene, which provides a site where the enzymes involved in the transcription process can bind on to a DNA molecule, and initiate transcription Promoters are critically involved in the regulation of gene expression Source : PhRMA Genomics

Any component added to a catalyst to increase activity or selectivity Examples are tin added to platinum reforming catalysts to improve selectivity to coke formation and chloride added to isomerization catalysts to increase activity
