Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz Wien 1864 - 1928 Was A German Physicist Who In 1893 Used Theories About Heat And Electromagnetism To Deduce Wien's Displacement Law Which Calculates The Emission Of A Black Body At Any Temperature From The Emission At Any One Reference Temperature. He Also Formulated An Expression For The Black-Body Radiation Which Is Correct In The Photon-Gas Limit. His Arguments Were Based On The Notion Of Adiabatic Invariance And Were Instrumental For The Formulation Of Quantum Mechanics. Wien Received The 1911 Nobel Prize For His Work On Heat Radiation.

Pencil Ownership Name Of Hendrik Antoon Kramers Dutch Physicist Who Worked Primarily In Studies Of Magnetism At Top Of Front Cover As Was Kramers' Custom With His Library. Sir James Alfred Ewing Kcb 27 March 1855 7 January 1935 Was A Scottish Physicist And Engineer Best Known For His Work On The Magnetic Properties Of Metals And In Particular For His Discovery Of And Coinage Of The Word Hysteresis. It Was Said Of Ewing That He Was 'Careful At All Times Of His Appearance His Suits Were Mostly Grey Added To Which He Generally Wore - Whatever The Fashion - A White Piqué Stripe To His Waistcoat A Mauve Shirt A White Butterfly Collar And A Dark Blue Bow Tie With White Spots.' He Was Regarded As Brilliant And Successful But Was Conscious Of His Dignity And Position. On Appointment To Head The Newly Created Admiralty Codebreaking Department The Director Of Naval Intelligence Henry Oliver Described Him As 'Too Distinguished A Man To Be Placed Officially Under The Orders Of The Director Of Intelligence Or Chief Of Staff'. His First Wife Annie Was An American A Great Great Niece Of George Washington. In 1890 Ewing Took Up The Post Of Professor Of Mechanism And Applied Mechanics At The University Of Cambridge Initially At Trinity College Though He Later Moved To King's College. At Cambridge Ewing's Research Into The Magnetisation Of Metals Led Him To Criticise The Conventional Account Of Wilhelm Weber. In 1890 He Observed That Magnetisation Lagged Behind An Applied Alternating Current. He Described The Characteristic Hysteresis Curve And Speculated That Individual Molecules Act As Magnets Resisting Changes In Magnetising Potential. Note: According To The Book Sir Alfred Ewing: A Pioneer In Physics And Engineering 1946 By Professor Bates The Discovery Of Magnetic Hysteresis Probably Occurred Before Ewing. However Ewing Re-Discovered It Studied It In Detail And Coined The Word Hysteresis. Ewing Also Researched Into The Crystalline Structure Of Metals And In 1903 Was The First To Propose That Fatigue Failures Originated In Microscopic Defects Or Slip Bands In Materials. In 1895 He Was Awarded The Gold Medal Of The Royal Society For His Work On Magnetic Induction In Iron And Other Metals. Ewing Was A Close Friend Of Sir Charles Algernon Parsons And Collaborated With Him On The Development Of The Steam Turbine And He Later Married Parsons' Surviving Daughter. During This Time Ewing Published The Steam Engine And Other Heat Engines Around This Time. In 1897 He Took Part In The Sea-Trials Of The Experimental Vessel Turbinia Which Set A New Speed Record Of 35 Knots. During World War I From 1914 To May 1917 Ewing Managed Room 40 The Admiralty Intelligence Department Of Cryptanalysis Responsible Predominantly For The Decryption Of Intercepted German Naval Messages. In This Capacity He Achieved Considerable Fame In The Popular Press When Room 40 Deciphered The Zimmermann Telegram In 1917 Which Suggested A German Plot To Assist Mexico In Recovering The Southwestern United States. The Publication Of The Zimmermann Telegram Is Generally Credited As The Trigger Event Which Brought American Into The Great War. In May 1916 Ewing Accepted An Invitation To Become Principal Of The University Of Edinburgh In The Course Of Which He Instituted An Extensive Series Of Effective Reforms And Which He Held Until His Retirement In 1929. In 1927 He Gave A Lecture To The Edinburgh Philosophical Institution Which Contained The First Semi-Official Disclosure Of The Work Done By Room 40.

Per Wikipedia Carver Andress Mead Born 1934 Is An American Scientist And Engineer. He Currently Holds The Position Of Gordon And Betty Moore Professor Emeritus Of Engineering And Applied Science At The California Institute Of Technology Caltech Having Taught There For Over 40 Years. He Taught Deborah Chung The First Female Engineering Graduate Of Caltech. He Advised The First Female Electrical Engineering Student At Caltech Louise Kirkbride. His Contributions As A Teacher Include The Classic Textbook Introduction To Vlsi Systems 1980 Which He Coauthored With Lynn Conway. A Pioneer Of Modern Microelectronics He Has Made Contributions To The Development And Design Of Semiconductors Digital Chips And Silicon Compilers Technologies Which Form The Foundations Of Modern Very-Large-Scale Integration Chip Design. In The 1980S He Focused On Electronic Modelling Of Human Neurology And Biology Creating "Neuromorphic Electronic Systems."567 Mead Has Been Involved In The Founding Of More Than 20 Companies.8 Most Recently He Has Called For The Reconceptualization Of Modern Physics Revisiting The Theoretical Debates Of Niels Bohr Albert Einstein And Others In Light Of Later Experiments And Developments In Instrumentation. Carver Mead Has Developed An Approach He Calls Collective Electrodynamics In Which Electromagnetic Effects Including Quantized Energy Transfer Are Derived From The Interactions Of The Wavefunctions Of Electrons Behaving Collectively.68 In This Formulation The Photon Is A Non-Entity And Planck's Energy-Frequency Relationship Comes From The Interactions Of Electron Eigenstates. The Approach Is Related To John Cramer's Transactional Interpretation Of Quantum Mechanics To The Wheeler-Feynman Absorber Theory Of Electrodynamics And To Gilbert N. Lewis's Early Description Of Electromagnetic Energy Exchange At Zero IntervalClarification Needed In Spacetime. Although This Reconceptualization Does Not Pertain To Gravitation A Gravitational Extension Of It Makes Predictions That Differ From General Relativity. For Instance Gravitational Waves Should Have A Different Polarization Under "G4v" The Name Given To This New Theory Of Gravity. Moreover This Difference In Polarization Can Be Detected By Advanced Ligo. The MIT Press hardcover

Per Wikipedia Aleksandr Yakovlevich Khinchin 1894 -1959 Was A Soviet Mathematician And One Of The Most Significant Contributors To The Soviet School Of Probability Theory. While Studying At Moscow State University He Became One Of The First Followers Of The Luzin School. Khinchin Graduated From The University In 1916 And Six Years Later He Became A Full Professor There Retaining That Position Until His Death. Khinchin's Early Works Focused On Real Analysis. Later He Applied Methods From The Metric Theory Of Functions To Problems In Probability Theory And Number Theory. He Became One Of The Founders Of Modern Probability Theory Discovering The Law Of The Iterated Logarithm In 1924 Achieving Important Results In The Field Of Limit Theorems Giving A Definition Of A Stationary Process And Laying A Foundation For The Theory Of Such Processes. Khinchin Made Significant Contributions To The Metric Theory Of Diophantine Approximations And Established An Important Result For Simple Real Continued Fractions Discovering A Property Of Such Numbers That Leads To What Is Now Known As Khinchin's Constant. He Also Published Several Important Works On Statistical Physics Where He Used The Methods Of Probability Theory And On Information Theory Queuing Theory And Mathematical Analysis. In 1939 Khinchin Was Elected As A Correspondent Member Of The Academy Of Sciences Of The Ussr. He Was Awarded The Stalin Prize 1941 The Order Of Lenin Three Other Orders And Medals Dover Publications hardcover
