- Chemistry [r]: The science of matter, or of the electrical or electrostatical interactions of matter. [e]
- Citric acid cycle [r]: A series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions of central importance in all living cells that use oxygen as part of cellular respiration. [e]
- DDT [r]: An organochlorine pesticide that is very effective at killing mosquitoes and was used effectively in the fight against malaria. [e]

Colonial power in Southeast Asia until 1954. [e]
