Essa è basata su un libro dallo stesso titolo che ho scritto in inglese, ma con vari mutamenti per adattarlo al lettore italiano. Per quanto Fermi sia vissuto in un'epoca piena di drammatici eventi storici e per quanto, a causa del suo lavoro, si sia trovato ad avere in essi una parte importante, la sua vita più intensa e avventurosa fu quella intellettuale della scoperta scientifica. Nel suo libro Atomi in Famiglia la moglie Laura ha trattato altri aspetti della vita di Fermi e, ovviamente, i nostri punti di vista sono differenti: il suo è quello di una compagna devota e affezionata, il mio è quello di un discepolo amico e collega scienziato.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1959 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. PAUL DYER MERICA March iy, 1889-October 20, BY ZAY JEFFRIES R. MERICA was elected to membership in the National Academy D of Sciences in 1942, as a member of the Engineering Section. He died in Tarrytown, New York, at the age of sixty-eight, on Oc- tober 20, 1957, following a heart attack. Dr. Merica was born in Warsaw, Indiana, on March 17, 1889, the son of Charles Oliver and Alice White Merica. He attended the Warsaw High School and then spent three years at De Pauw Uni- versity. In 1907 he went to the University of Wisconsin, where he obtained his A. B. degree in 1908. The following school year, he was instructor in physics at Wisconsin after which he taught "Western subjects" for two years in the Chekiang Provincial College at Hang- chow, China. Next he attended the University of Berlin from which he received his Ph.D. in 1914. After his formal schooling in Berlin, Dr. Merica took a tem- porary post as special investigator on caustic embrittlement of steel at the University of Illinois. He then went to the National Bureau of Standards, where he remained from 1914 to 1919, holding posi- tions as research physicist, associate physicist, physicist, and metal- lurgist.

I am employed as a Section Leader by the Instrumentation and Control Systems Branch (ICSB), Division of Systems Integration, Office of Nuclear Regulation, USNRC. A complete description of my professional qualifications is attached to this affidavit. 2. The purpose of re affidavit is to address factual matters raised 'by Joint Intervenors motion to reopen the record in the above captioned proceeding and the "Affidavitof Mr. Richard Burton Hubbard" (February 28, 1980) with respect to environmental qualification and aging of safety-related electrical equipment. 3. The affidavit of Mr. Hubbard states, among other things that: "... new factors pertinent to the Diablo Canyon Station (with respect to NUREG-0588 For Comment) ... demonstrate the need for additional review of environmental qualification of the safety-related structures, systems, and components. My affidavit demonstrates that the information on the qualification program for safety-related items should include (a) an identification of all Diablo Canyon Class I safety-related equipment and (b) an evaluation of aging effects on the qualification of all Diablo Canyon Class I safety-related equipment." (Affidavit, at 3). "... lists of Category I structures, systems, and components provided to assure (a) the integrity of the reactor coolant boundary, and (b) the capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safety condition are general and are not sufficiently complete for purposes of documenting equipment qualification parameters.

  • Zay Jeffries 1888–1965
    Zay Jeffries 1888–1965 A Biographical Memoir by William D. Nix ©2013 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. ZAY JEFFRIES April 22, 1888—May 21, 1965 Elected to the NAS, 1939 In the nearly five decades since Zay Jeffries’ death, his seminal ideas about the relationship between materials’ microstructure and their mechanical properties—and the improvement of these properties through processing— have become accepted as the basic paradigm for the field of materials science. It is hoped that this review will serve to remind current and future generations of materials scientists of the brilliance of our field’s forefathers and the contributions they made. Because members of the National Academy of Sciences and other authorities in physical metallurgy and mate- rials science who knew Jeffries personally have now left the scene, we are left to base his biographical memoir on written records that remain. The 1973 biography of By William D. Nix Jeffries written by W. D. Mogerman at the request of the American Society for Metals (now ASM International) has been invaluable in this task.1 Another important reference is the book Men of Metals, written by S. L. Hoyt, which contains an especially informative account of Jeffries’ role in the development of the cemented-carbide cutting-tool industry and the trials and trib- ulations that he faced in that endeavor.2 Jeffries’ 1924 textbook The Science of Metals, coauthored by R. S. Archer, is another valuable source that especially reveals the clarity of thought that Jeffries brought to the understanding of materials.3 The author of this memoir also received useful information about Jeffries’efforts during World War II from his grandson, Justice John W.

Apian MINERAL EDUCATION GENERALIST, PROFESSOR OF METALLURGY AND MINERAL PROCESSING, 1951-1998 With Introductions by Dr. Barbara Arnold and Dr. Douglas Fuerstenau Interviews Conducted by Eleanor Swent in 1998 Cnnvrieht CO 9003 hv The Rfioents nf the TTnivprsitv nf r.alifnmia Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Frank F. Apian, dated July 20, 1998. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
