A few are on historic events in science, others contain some partic.larly memorable descript;on of what physicists do; still others deal with philosophy of science, or with the impact of scientific thought on the imagination of the artist. There are old and new classics, and also some little- known publications; many have been suggested for in- clusion because some teacher or physicist remembered an article with particular fondness. The majority of articles is not drawn from scientific papers of historic importonce themselves, because material from many of these is readily available, either as quotations in the Project Physics text or in special collections. This collection is meant for your browsing.If you follow your own reading interests, chances are good that you will find here many pages that convey the joy these authors have in their work and the excitement of their ideas.If you want to follow up on interesting excerpts, the source list at the end of the reader will guide you for further reading.

Although the proposed scheme is im probable, the story has a charming plausibility. 1 Silence, Please Arthur C. Clarke 19 57 You COME upon the "White Hart" quite unexpectedly in one of these anonymous little lanes leading down from Fleet Street to the Embankment. It's no use telling you where it is: very few people who have set out in a deter- mined effort to get there have ever actually arrived. For the first dozen visits a guide is essential: after that you'll probably be all right if you close your eyes and rely on instinct. Alsoto be perfectly frankwe don't want any more customers, at least on our night. The place is already uncomfortably crowded. All that I'll say about its loca- tion is that it shakes occasionally with the vibration of newspaper presses, and that if you crane out of the win- dow of the gent's room you can just see the Thames. From the outside, is looks like any other pubas in- deed it is for five dais of the week. The public and saloon bars are on the ground floor: there are the usual vistas of brown oak panelling and frosted glass, the bottles behind the bar, the handles of the beer engines... nothing out of the ordinary at all. Indeed, the only concession to the twentieth century is the juke box in the public bar. It was installed during the war in a laughable attempt to make G.I.'s feel at home, and one of the first things we did was to make sure there was no danger of its ever working again. At this point I had better explain who "we" are. That is not as easy as I thought it was going to be when I started, for a complete catalogue of the "White Hart's" clients would probably be impossible and would certainly be excruciatingly tedious. So all I'll say at this point is that "we" fall into three main classes. First there are the journalists, writers and editors. The journalists, of course, gravitated here from Fleet Street. Those who couldn't make the grade fled elsewhere: the tougher ones remained. As for the writers, most of them heard about, ur from other writers, came here f9r copy, and got trapped. 1 Where there are writers, of course, there are sooner or later editors. If Drew, our landlord, got a percentage on the literary business done in his bar, he'd be a rich man. (We suspect he is a rich man, anyway.) One of our wits once remarked that it was a common sight to see half a dozen indignant authors arguing with a hard-faced editor in one corner of the "White Hart", while in another, half a dozen indignant editors argued with a hard-faced author. So much for the literary side: you will have, I'd better warn you, ample opportunities for close-ups later. Now let us glance briefly at the scientists. How did they get in here? Well, Birkbeck College is only across the road, and King's is just a few hundred yards along the Strand. That's doubtless part of the explanation, and again personal rec- ommendation had a lot to do with it. Also, many ofour scientists are writers, and not a few of our writers are scientists. Confusing, but we like it that way. The third portion of our little microcosm consists of what may be loosely termed "interested laymen". They were attracted to the "White Hart" by the general brou- haha, and enjoyed the conversation and company so much that they now come along regularly every Wednesday which is the day when we all get together. Sometimes they can't stand the pace and fall by the wayside, but there's always a fresh supply. With such potent ingredients, it is hardly surprising that Wednesday at the "White Hart" is seldom dull. Not only have some remarkable stories been told there, but remark- able things have happened there. For example, therewas the time when Professor, passing through on his way to Harwell, left behind a brief -case containingwell, we'd better nct go into that, even thoughwe did so at the time. And most interesting it was, too.... Any Russian agents will find me in the corner under the dartboard.

  • Founding a Family of Fiddles
    The four members of the violin family have changed very little In hundreds of years. Recently, a group of musi- cians and scientists have constructed a "new" string family. 16 Founding a Family of Fiddles Carleen M. Hutchins An article from Physics Today, 1967. New measmement techniques combined with recent acoustics research enable us to make vioUn-type instruments in all frequency ranges with the properties built into the vioHn itself by the masters of three centuries ago.

    UWThPh-1997-52 27. Oktober 1997 History and outlook of statistical physics 1 Dieter Flamm Institut f¨ur Theoretische Physik der Universit¨at Wien, Boltzmanngasse 5, 1090 Vienna, Austria Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper gives a short review of the history of statistical physics starting from D. Bernoulli’s kinetic theory of gases in the 18th century until the recent new developments in nonequilibrium kinetic theory in the last decades of this century. The most important contributions of the great physicists Clausius, Maxwell and Boltzmann are sketched. It is shown how the reversibility and the recurrence paradox are resolved within Boltzmann’s statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics. An approach to classical and quantum statistical mechanics is outlined. Finally the progress in nonequilibrium kinetic theory in the second half of this century is sketched starting from the work of N.N. Bogolyubov in 1946 up to the progress made recently in understanding the diffusion processes in dense fluids using computer simulations and analytical methods. arXiv:physics/9803005v1 [physics.hist-ph] 4 Mar 1998 1Paper presented at the Conference on Creativity in Physics Education, on August 23, 1997, in Sopron, Hungary. 1 In the 17th century the physical nature of the air surrounding the earth was es- tablished.

  • Some Examples from a Corpus Investigation Of
    UDK 78:81’373.46 Prethodno priopćenje Rukopis primljen 14. VII. 2018. Prihvaćen za tisak 25. XI. 2018. Paola Granado Université Lumière Lyon 2 [email protected] Roger Miller [email protected] SOME EXAMPLES FROM A CORPUS INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIALLY CONFUSING POLYSEMY AND FALSE FRIENDS IN THE TERMINOLOGY OF MUSIC, CENTRED ON ENGLISH AND FRENCH, WITH EQUIVALENTS IN FIVE OTHER LANGUAGES This paper presents five of the initial items of a semantic study of confusable terms and false friends present in the lexis of music in English and French. All forms are also given in Italian, German, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. The object of study is a series of texts from corpora provided by New Sketch Engine, a product of Lexical Computing Limited. In the commentary section, the semantic variance between the different items within the same topic is studied. The approach is essentially synchronic, with priority being given to the examination of current usage. Diachronic considerations are also included where it has been possible to explain, or at least hypothesize how the meaning of the various terms has evolved. The main practical application of the paper is to provide a tool for reducing ambiguity in the area of music terminology. It will be of potential interest to all those concerned by the study and practice of music and the language of music in countries where the languages referred to in this study are in use. 1. Objectives and methodology This research aims to reduce ambiguity and thus improve comprehension by exploring a selection of forty or so false friends between English and French in the area of music terminology.

  • Violinoctet Violin First European Quintet Performs
    ViolinOctetOctet New Voices for the 21st Century Volume 2, Number 6 Spring 2007 First European Quintet Performs says that van Laethem likes to participate in new and unusual concerts and performance set- tings, which gave Wouters the idea that van Laethem might be interested in the octet in- struments, which he was. Van Laethem is also a teacher at the Academie voor Muziek en Woord in Mol, and took it upon himself to fi nd others who would like to play the new instruments in concert. Jan Sciffer, who played the alto, is the cello in- structor at the Academy. All the other performers were stu- dents. The performers were enthusias- tic about the new instruments, and although the performance was planned to be a single event, the payers want to keep on playing them. A quintet of New Violin Family instruments in rehearsal in Belgium. (l to r) Bert van Laethem, soprano; Eveline Debie, mezzo; Jan Sciff er, alto; Jef Kenis, tenor; and Greg Brabers, baritone. The concert took place on February 10, 2007 at to Belgium via email; “Purcell’s Fantasia on One 8:00 p.m. in the Saint Peter and Paul Church in Note,” and the aria from Bach’s Cantata 124. Mol, Belgium, a small city about 40 km east of Antwerp. There were an estimated 200 people Before the ensemble played, the director of the attending, most of whom were local residents of school gave a short introduction. Wouters says it Mol. The quintet, which was made up of teach- was clear that this gentleman (name unavailable ers and students from a local music academy, at press time) had done his homework and had performed only a few selections because their carefully read all the information Wouters had performance was just one part of the music acad- given him.

(FBL). FBL has no right to operate a radio station in northern California because it has never obtained a license from the Federal Communications Commission to do so. The FCC issued a permit for FBL to construct a low-power FM radio station in Cupertino, California. But FBL inexplicably built its station in Saratoga, California, several miles away. FBL’s Cupertino construction permit expired in 2018, and its related application for a broadcast license was dismissed in 2019. On March 20, 2020, FBL asked the Commission for Special Temporary Authority (STA) to operate its station to provide information on Covid-19 to the Mandarin-speaking community of Cupertino. Without waiting for Commission action on its request (which had not properly been submitted), FBL began broadcasting on March 27, 2020. By letter dated April 16, 2020, the Commission’s Media Bureau dismissed FBL’s STA request as procedurally USCA Case #20-1159 Document #1845273 Filed: 06/02/2020 Page 2 of 22 2 defective and, in the alternative, denied the request on the merits.
