Savart's paper: pp. 113-172 and 3 folded engraved plates. � First printing of a pioneer paper on the acoustics of the violin and on the construction of the Trapezoidal Fiddle.<br><br>"In his earliest work Savart gave the first explanation of the function of certain parts of the violin. To learn how vibrations are transmitted from the strings to the rest of the instrument he induced vibrations in a free wood plate by passing a vibrating string over a bridge at its center; he also used Chladni�s sand-pattern technique to observe the resulting nodal lines. Savart showed that the bridge transmits the string�s vibrations; that the plate can be made to vibrate at any frequency; and that the corresponding mode is a modification of an unforced mode. He demonstrated that the sound post also serves to transmit vibrations and he explained that it therefore should not be placed under a nodal line. Thinking that symmetry and regularity would produce the best tone Savart built a trapezoidal violin with rectangular sound holes. When the instrument was played before a committee that included Biot the Composer Cherubini and other members of the Academy of Sciences and the Acad�mie des Beaux-Arts its tone was judged as extremely clear and even but somewhat subdued."DSB.<br><br>The issue also contains Eilhard Mitscherlich' famous paper in the first French version "Sur la Relation qui existe entre la forme cristalline et les proportions chimiques" pp. 172-190. unknown‎

‎Per un pugno di fisica‎

‎brossura Il presente volume è il risultato del lavoro di un gruppo di insegnanti e alunni, che si ritrova insieme con l'intento di scrivere un po' di fisica, un "pugno di fisica", divertendosi, ma senza perdere di vista il rigore del linguaggio matematico e degli argomenti trattati. Non è il classico libro di fisica ma, piuttosto, un'esperienza che sintetizza l'interdisciplinarietà del sapere scolastico: si trovano esercizi di fisica svolti ma, anche, un racconto, una storia che ha come protagonisti due ragazzi, due studenti. Ci sono i loro sentimenti, le loro paure, le incertezze, anche il loro odio per una materia fredda e inutile, come la definiscono. Tuttavia, è proprio il fervido mondo della loro immaginazione adolescenziale, fatto di situazioni anche reali, che li riavvicina alla fisica in modo spontaneo, non costruito, non finalizzato al conseguimento di un risultato, espresso in forma di voto o di credito. È così che alla fine del racconto, i protagonisti "continuano a chiamarla fisica", perché le riconoscono quella dignità che non sono riusciti a cogliere tra i banchi di scuola. Il libro è costituito da 6 capitoli più un epilogo e una parte teorica, tutti sottotitolati in maniera singolare: sono stati rivisitati i titoli di alcuni film noti che ormai fanno parte della letteratura cinematografica, oltre che di un mondo di ricordi che appartengono soprattutto ai curatori di questo volume (data la loro età!).‎

‎Elementi di fisica biomedica‎

‎ill., ril. Questo volume è il risultato di una esperienza di alcuni decenni nell'insegnamento della Fisica in Corsi di indirizzo sanitario. Per conciliare l'esigenza di un corso metodologico e formativo con l'integrazione della Fisica nel curriculum di studi biosanitari (compreso l'ultimo inserito: la sicurezza delle persone e dell'ambiente), si è scelto di alternare capitoli che riportano i concetti fondamentali della Fisica (con qualche sporadica applicazione medico-biologica) con capitoli dedicati interamente alle applicazioni di tali concetti in campo biomedico e con alcuni accenni in campo ambientale. Queste applicazioni sono svolte con l'intento di fornire esempi di una trattazione scientificamente rigorosa, anche se necessariamente ridotta a una forma schematica ed essenziale, di alcuni complessi problemi medici e biologici.‎

Il travaille quelques années au laboratoire Cavendish avec Maxwell et Rayleigh. Il devient professeur de mathématiques appliqués à l'université de Manchester puis en 1888 il succède à Balfour Stewart comme professeur de physique. Cette position lui permet d'établir un département de recherche et d'enseignement actif. En 1900 il parvient à obtenir la création d'un laboratoire de recherche qui prendra rapidement un envergure internationale. Ernest Rutherford lui succède lorsqu'il quitte ce poste en partie pour raison de santé et en partie pour se consacrer à la promotion de la coopération scientifique internationale. Schuster a été aussi remarqué pour son application de l'analyse harmonique à la recherche de périodicité dans des données expérimentales. Un de ces articles réfute un article de Cargill Gilston Knott qui pensait avoir découvert une périodicité synchronisée sur le mois lunaire de la fréquence des tremblements de terre1. L'analyse harmonique est déjà connue mais Schuster pointe les erreurs commises par Knott et d'autres. Il invente aussi le périodogramme, une estimation de la densité spectrale. Dans un autre article il donne une meilleure estimation de la périodicité du cycle solaire déjà déterminé par Heinrich Schwabe. Un autre article important est Radiation through a Foggy Atmosphere qui devient un classique dans la recherche sur les atmosphères stellaires. Schuster est crédité par Chandrasekhar d'avoir donné un nouveau souffle au problème du transfert radiatif. Il formule en 1905 un problème de transfert radiatif dans le but d'expliquer l'apparition de raies d'absorption et d'émission dans les spectres stellaires. C'était la première utilisation de l'approximation de Schuster et Schwarzschild qui sous-tend le traitement du transfert radiatif dans pratiquement tous les modèles météorologiques et climatiques.

He expressed this in his early work, Ansichten von der Nachtseite der Naturwissenschaften (1808). Schubert, Gotthilf Heinrich von (Hohenstein, Saxony, 1780-1860, Laufzorn, Bavaria), abandoned the study of theology at Leipzig University and turned to medicine and the natural sciences, moving later to Jena.

‎First edition and first announcement of Schrödinger's famous reply to the EPR-paradox (also known as Schrödinger's Cat). When in May 1935 Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen published the so-called EPR-paper in ""Physical Review"", they set out to demonstrate that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics could not constitute a complete description of nature. The EPR-article prompted a number of responses, e.g. from Bohr, the co-founder of the Copenhagen School, who began writing his response immediately after the publication of the Physical Review article. It is this debate that Schrödinger participates in with his seminal paper on ""The Present Situation in Quantum Mechanics"", in which he presents what is now famously known as Schrödinger's Cat. Schrödinger's Cat is the name of the thought experiment that Schrödinger develops in this article and that was intended as a discussion of the EPR article.After the publication of the EPR article, Einstein and Schrödinger had begun an exchange of letters on the subject of the possibility of quantum mechanics, as interpreted by the Copenhagenists, representing reality. During this exchange of letters, Schrödinger had been inspired by Einstein's view of the problem of applying the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum mechanics to everyday objects. But Schrödinger, in his response, took his illustration of the absurdity of the interpretation and the incompleteness of quantum mechanics a step further" he applied it to a living entity, namely a cat. Schrödinger imagines a sealed box containing a cat, a bottle of poison, a radioactive source, a Geiger counter and a hammer. When the Geiger counter detects radiation, a mechanism is switched on that makes the hammer fall the hammer breaks the bottle, and the poison kills the cat. Because it is random, when the Geiger counter will detect radiation, and because in Quantum mechanics, physical conditions are described with the aid of a wave-function that explains all possible conditions of the system, Quantum mechanics, according to the Copenhagen interpretation, would come to the conclusion that the cat in the box is both living and dead, at the same time (the wave function is made up of a superposition of the two conditions -the cat being living and the cat being dead-" the two positions collapse into one, as soon as the system is interpreted as consisting of only one condition -either dead or living cat-, with the sole possible conclusion that the cat is both). Due to Heisenberg and Bohr's independent interpretation of Quantum theory (the ""Copenhagen interpretation), Quantum theory had in 1927 developed in a direction unforeseen by Schrödinger. ""Schrödinger was ""concerned and disappointed"" that this ""transcendental, almost physical interpretation of the wave phenomena"" had become the ""almost universally accepted dogma."""" (D.S.B. XII, p. 221). His most famous and widely used attack on this interpretation was that of ""Schrödinger's Cat"". This paradox of the dead-and-alive cat vigorously illustrated the absurdity of quantum mechanics and what was necessary to describe the states within this system. The thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat turned out to be hugely influential, and has become a standard paradox within both physics and philosophy.‎
