    Mollweide Projection and the ICA Logo Cartotalk, October 21, 2011 Institute of Geoinformation and Cartography, Research Group Cartography (Draft Paper)

    Mollweide Projection and the ICA Logo CartoTalk, October 21, 2011 Institute of Geoinformation and Cartography, Research Group Cartography (Draft paper) Miljenko Lapaine University of Zagreb, Faculty of Geodesy, [email protected] Abstract The paper starts with the description of Mollweide's life and work. The formula or equation in mathematics known after him as Mollweide's formula is shown, as well as its proof "without words". Then, the Mollweide map projection is defined and formulas derived in different ways to show several possibilities that lead to the same result. A generalization of Mollweide projection is derived enabling to obtain a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection having the overall shape of an ellipse with any prescribed ratio of its semiaxes. The inverse equations of Mollweide projection has been derived, as well. The most important part in research of any map projection is distortion distribution. That means that the paper continues with the formulas and images enabling us to get some filling about the liner and angular distortion of the Mollweide projection. Finally, the ICA logo is used as an example of nice application of the Mollweide projection. A small warning is put on the map painted on the ICA flag. It seams that the map is not produced according to the Mollweide projection and is different from the ICA logo map. Keywords: Mollweide, Mollweide's formula, Mollweide map projection, ICA logo 1. Introduction Pseudocylindrical map projections have in common straight parallel lines of latitude and curved meridians. Until the 19th century the only pseudocylindrical projection with important properties was the sinusoidal or Sanson-Flamsteed.

  • Atomic History Project Background: If You Were Asked to Draw the Structure of an Atom, What Would You Draw?

    Atomic History Project Background: If You Were Asked to Draw the Structure of an Atom, What Would You Draw?

    Atomic History Project Background: If you were asked to draw the structure of an atom, what would you draw? Throughout history, scientists have accepted five major different atomic models. Our perception of the atom has changed from the early Greek model because of clues or evidence that have been gathered through scientific experiments. As more evidence was gathered, old models were discarded or improved upon. Your task is to trace the atomic theory through history. Task: 1. You will create a timeline of the history of the atomic model that includes all of the following components: A. Names of 15 of the 21 scientists listed below B. The year of each scientist’s discovery that relates to the structure of the atom C. 1- 2 sentences describing the importance of the discovery that relates to the structure of the atom Scientists for the timeline: *required to be included • Empedocles • John Dalton* • Ernest Schrodinger • Democritus* • J.J. Thomson* • Marie & Pierre Curie • Aristotle • Robert Millikan • James Chadwick* • Evangelista Torricelli • Ernest • Henri Becquerel • Daniel Bernoulli Rutherford* • Albert Einstein • Joseph Priestly • Niels Bohr* • Max Planck • Antoine Lavoisier* • Louis • Michael Faraday • Joseph Louis Proust DeBroglie* Checklist for the timeline: • Timeline is in chronological order (earliest date to most recent date) • Equal space is devoted to each year (as on a number line) • The eight (8) *starred scientists are included with correct dates of their discoveries • An additional seven (7) scientists of your choice (from
  • Physics of Gases and Phenomena of Heat Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647)

    Physics of Gases and Phenomena of Heat Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647)

    Physics of gases and phenomena of heat Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647) ”...We have made many vessels of glass like those shown as A and B and with tubes two cubits long. These were filled with quicksilver, the open end was closed with the finger, and they were then inverted in a vessel where there was quicksilver C; then we saw that an empty space was formed and that nothing happened in the vessel when this space was formed; the tube between A and D remained always full to the height of a cubit and a quarter and an inch high... Water also in a similar tube, though a much longer one, will rise to about 18 cubits, that is, as much more than quicksilver does as quicksilver is heavier than water, so as to be in equilibrium with the same cause which acts on the one and the other...” Letter to Michelangelo Ricci, June 11, 1644 Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647) ”We live immersed at the bottom of a sea of elemental air, which by experiment undoubtedly has weight, and so much weight that the densest air in the neighbourhood of the surface of the earth weighs about one four-hundredth part of the weight of water...” Letter to Michelangelo Ricci, June 11, 1644 In July 1647 Valeriano Magni performed experiments on the vacuum in the presence of the King of Poland at the Royal Castle in Warsaw Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) ”I am searching for information which could help decide whether the action attributed to horror vacui really results from it or perhaps is caused by gravity and the pressure of air.

Wentzel, Hendrik Kramers, and Léon Brillouin developed the Wentzel– Kramers–Brillouin approximation in 1926. In his early years, he contributed to X-ray spectroscopy, but then broadened out to make contributions to quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and meson theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Wentzel _________________________________________________________________________ Hendrik Anthony "Hans" Kramers (Rotterdam, February 2, 1894 – Oegstgeest, April 24, 1952) was a Dutch physicist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrik_Anthony_Kramers _________________________________________________________________________ Léon Nicolas Brillouin (August 7, 1889 – October 4, 1969) was a French physicist.

Aristotle’s Masterpiece (neither by Aristotle nor a masterpiece) was the first sex manual in English, providing its readers with practical advice on copulation, conception, pregnancy and birth. This anony- mous, inexpensively printed work proved to be enormously popular: At least three editions were issued by J. How in 1684 (see ESTC and below in our description), and it went through well over 100 editions in the following two centuries.Versions even continued to be published into the early twentieth century, with one appearing as late as 1930! Although Aristotle’s Masterpiece was not intended as pornography, its frank discussion of sex and reproduction was seen as unfit for polite society; the book was often issued under false imprints and sold “under the table.” The publication history of the work is discussed in some detail in Roy Porter and Lesley Hall’s The Facts of Life (pp.

    Spin-Or, Actually: Spin and Quantum Statistics

    S´eminaire Poincar´eXI (2007) 1 – 50 S´eminaire Poincar´e SPIN OR, ACTUALLY: SPIN AND QUANTUM STATISTICS∗ J¨urg Fr¨ohlich Theoretical Physics ETH Z¨urich and IHES´ † Abstract. The history of the discovery of electron spin and the Pauli principle and the mathematics of spin and quantum statistics are reviewed. Pauli’s theory of the spinning electron and some of its many applications in mathematics and physics are considered in more detail. The role of the fact that the tree-level gyromagnetic factor of the electron has the value ge = 2 in an analysis of stability (and instability) of matter in arbitrary external magnetic fields is highlighted. Radiative corrections and precision measurements of ge are reviewed. The general connection between spin and statistics, the CPT theorem and the theory of braid statistics, relevant in the theory of the quantum Hall effect, are described. “He who is deficient in the art of selection may, by showing nothing but the truth, produce all the effects of the grossest falsehoods. It perpetually happens that one writer tells less truth than another, merely because he tells more ‘truth’.” (T.
