Berson and Yalow developed the radioimmunoassay RIA for measuring concentrations of antigens such as hormones in the body. The first hormone they performed RIA on was insulin which had been hitherto difficult to measure in the blood; the RIA technique enabled them to estimate quantities as small as one-trillionth of a gram see Garrison-Morton.com 2578.28 Berson and Yalow's 1960 paper announcing their findings. Yalow shared the 1977 Nobel Prize for her part in developing RIA; had Berson not died in 1972 he also would have been eligible for the award. <p>. unknown books‎

‎BERÜHMTE ZEITGENOSSEN IN UNBEWACHTEN AUGENBLICKEN‎

‎Stuttgart: J. Engelhorns Nachf 1931. First edition. Salomon Erich. Small 4to. 46 pp. and 112 b&w photos on 104 pp. with texts in German English French and Spanish. Plain card wrappers with the printed dust jacket affixed to the spine. The lower tip is bumped there are small chips missing at the edges and rubbing at the spine; on the front panel a 2-inch closed tear at the top near the spine and a short one at the bottom has been closed with archival tape on the blank reverse. The dust jacket is worn but largely intact and good. This seems to be a unique prepublication copy either a maquette or a copy for review. All other copies I have handled over the years have been in blue cloth titled in gilt issued with a separate dust jacket. I have consulted with both Martin Parr the noted photographer author and collector and Manfred Heiting noted author and collector who concur; neither have seen such a copy. Salomon from a German-Jewish banking family studied mechanical engineering and the law. In 1927 he took up the miniature camera and recorded the ruling class from his privileged seat among them. This work is a regarded as one of the most important books of the candid camera. The title which translates as "Famous Contemporaries in Unguarded Moments" includes photos of Hindeburg Chamberlain Lloyd George William Randolph Hearst Richard Strauss and others.

Laid into quarter green morocco cloth sides folding box 23 cm. Occasional early ink marginalia. RARE: no record of copies found on market. First edition one of two known issues. VERY RARE & EARLY ACCOUNT ON PERSPIRATION CRYING & BLOOD. A classical account on perspiration crying and blood all fluids. O'Malley writes for the DSB "such then curious but rational problems as why boys ought not to be forbidden to cry why sobbing usually accompanies weeping" -- apparently referring to this work. Thorndike who notes the author's work on the classical writers Galen and Rasis notes further that he was not a physician who ascribed to the occult sciences: "he also discussed such questions as why boys should not be forbidden to cry why sobbing generally goes with tears. . ." p. 230. The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek copy has an added 2 leaves marked as signature "-2" which is a preface by Paulo Alberto Paulus Albertus not available in this copy but supplied in facs. The text refers to bloody sweat noted by Stolberg "Modern medicine acknowledges such phenomenona as 'hematidrosis' but premodern accounts of bloody sweating may well have to be taken in a much wider sense including what physicians today would consider as bleeding disorders." -- Michael Stolberg "Sweat. Learned Concepts and Popular Perceptions 1500-1800" within: Manfred Horstmanshoff Helen King & Claus Zittel editors Blood Sweat and Tears: The Changing Concepts of Physiology from Antiquity into Early Modern Europe Brill 2012 p. 509. Alberti born in 1540 Naumburg Germany a year later his father died. He and his mother relocated to Nuremberg 1541. Remarkably the city paid for Alberti's education including his doctoral studies at the University of Wittenberg 1574 rising to become Professor of Philosophy and Physics in Wittenberg then Professor of Medicine and in 1582 becoming physician to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxony. He last residence was in Dresden where he passed away. He wrote tracts on the pancreas 1578 on the lacrimal apparatus De Lacrimis 1581. In 1585 he published Historia plerarunque partium humani corporis membratim scripta et in usum tyronum retractatius edita Vitaebergae excudebant Haeredes Iohannis Cratonis. ". . . some years later the German anatomist Salomon Alberti 1540–1600 published his studies of the lacrimal apparatus in a volume entitled De Lacrimis." "Initially tears were considered to be more or less similar in composition to other body fluids in particular sweat and urine." -- Ad Vingerhoets Why Only Humans Weep: Unravelling the Mysteries of Tears 2013 pp. 51 but does not mention this text. -- DSB.

‎Hingham and Quincy Massachusetts to Bedford New Hampshire 1846. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This broadside which advertises an estate sale to be held on 26 August 1846 measures approximately 13" square has been folded to facilitate mailing. It was printed in Quincy Massachusetts by the auctioneer on 21 August 1846 and sent the following day probably for approval to the family patriarch in Bedford New Hampshire by the guardian of the deceased's children in Hingham Massachusetts. The broadside bears a circular Hingham postmark in red and a black manuscript "2" postal rate the correct cost to send printed matter by mail. It is in nice shape with light toning and wear. <br /> <br /> <p>The broadside announces two simultaneous auctions to dispose of the estate. <br /> <br /> <p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:5%;">"Sale of Real Estate at Bent's Point in Quincy . . . being the property of Mary E.

The Riddles were a prominent and prosperous New England family. Isaac the original owner of this property had also owned property in Bedford as well as the first mill to be built at Merrimack New Hampshire. <br /> <br /> <p>He and his brother or possibly cousin William P. Riddle formed a militia company of exempts i.e. self-armed and equipped volunteers over 40 years of age who although exempt for military duty chose to organize as a militia unit. The company drilled daily in expectation that as a result of heightened Anglo-American tension over the Oregon-Canada borderit would be called on to fight the British at Portsmouth. But that never happened the unit remained active and grew following the war. <br /> <br /> <p>Although Isaac apparently lost interest William continued his service and rose to the rank of Major General in the New Hampshire militia before resigning in 1835. <br /> <br /> <p>For more information about the Riddle Family see Ridlon's History of the Ancient Ryedales and their Descendants. . .

‎ALBERTI Salomon‎

‎Schorbuti Historia cui inobservatum vel saltem indictum hactenus symptoma accesit‎

‎<p>Wittenberg: Georg Muller 1594.  Rare first edition of one of the earliest works on the subject of scurvy by the well-known anatomist undertaken to survey the incidence of the disease in the ducal territories around Wittenberg and consequently qualifying as an example of public health medicine. According to O’Malley Alberti was able to positively demonstrate the disease’s prevalence in the territory surveyed and astutely recommend citrus fruit as part of a preventative diet a benevolent property later recognized by James Lind in his Treatise on the Scurvy Edinburg 1753. “The book was known by James Lind and referred to by him in his celebrated treatise” O’Malley p. 98. Salomon Alberti 1540-1600 is best known for producing the first illustrations of the venous valves and for producing the first extensive printed account devoted solely to their function in his Tres Orationes Nuremberg 1585. The correct understanding of the venous valves was essential to Harvey’s concept of a systemic circulation of the blood. The work went through at least two 17th-century editions 1624; 1674 though the editio princeps appears to be the only one containing Alberti’s public disputation of 1591 with Ernestus Hettenbach which constitutes the first public announcement of his results.

‎Mathematical Tables and Other Aids to Computation MTAC‎

‎Washington D. C.: The National research Council 1943. First Edition. Wraps. Near Fine. First Edition. We offer a nearly complete run of this important early computer serial: Numbers 1 2 5-59 66-70 each in the original wrappers as published. Small quarto and octavo sizes approx 12 inches shelf space. Occasional minor soiling. From the library of Frank M. Verzuh with his name on some covers. Wraps. MTAC is the first period journal devoted entirely to the literature of computation. The journal had a very small subscription base in the early years. Through 1946 it's subscription list was less than 350 readers. Many were discarded as computing advanced at a rapid pace. As of this writing Worldcat shows less than 80 institutions with even partial runs. The first volume contains lists and descriptions of printed tables where they were published as well as new errors discovered in the published sources. These errors introduced by humans whose job description were "computers" continued to appear until mechanical computers significantly reduced and eventually eliminated them. Large businesses military and financial operations used these tables to save time - so error notices were important. Later issues particularly in Volume 2 of this serial contained interesting and groundbreaking material related to the development of computers as we know them today. <br/><br/>Professor FM Verzuh attended the Moore School lectures and was a participant in early computering at MIT. The fact that this serial was still present on his shelf at his retirement is an indication of it's importance. Scarce in the marketplace. See Origins of Cyberspace 777 for a detailed description and history of the serial which was published in a total of 14 volumes until a title change in 1960. Important articles included in this run include Origins of Cyberspace 577 579 1077 and 1078. "MTAC remains the primary periodical source of information on the electromechanical and electronic digital computers designed and built during the late 1940s and early 1950s as well as on the scientific uses of punched-card machines mechanical desk calculators etc" It also served as a journal of record for the newly formed Association of Computing Machinery until the founding of their own journal in January 1954.

Blind-stamps of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. FINE. FIRST EDITION. In this joint paper by the veteran investigator Orntsein and the junior faculty member Kramers on atomic theory the authors investigated how the classical collision formula in the kinetic-theory of gases has to be modified in order that the molecules shall be distributed according to the Fermi-law. In 1914 Leonard Ornstein succeeded Peter Debye as the chair of theoretical physics at the University of Utrecht. Later Ornstein became director of the physical institute there in 1925. As director of the Institute Ornstein's work shifted decisively into experiments and his organizational talent began to unfold. In the preceding dozen years Ornstein had published about fifty papers; in the following twenty years over two hundred bore his own name and almost five hundred additional papers were published from his institute which underwent three substantial enlargements in this period. See: DSB X pp. 235-236. L. S. At the time that Ornstein became director of the institute Kramers was appointed to the faculty of the University of Utrecht and had an office at the Institute.
