LITERATURES OF STRESS: THERMODYNAMIC PHYSICS AND THE POETRY AND PROSE OF GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS by THOMAS MAPES Under the Direction of Paul Schmidt, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation examines two of the various literatures of energy in Victorian Britain: the scientific literature of the North British school of energy physics, and the poetic and prose literature of Gerard Manley Hopkins. As an interdisciplinary effort, it is intended for several audiences. For readers interested in science history, it offers a history of two terms – stress and strain – central to modern physics. As well, in discussing the ideas of various scientific authors (primarily William John Macquorn Rankine, William Thomson, P.G. Tait, and James Clerk Maxwell), it indicates several contributions these figures made to larger culture. For readers of Hopkins’ poems and prose, this dissertation corresponds with a recent trend in criticism in its estimation of Hopkins as a scientifically informed writer, at least in his years post-Stonyhurst.

  • Aeronautical Science 101: the Development of Engineering Science in Aeronautical Engineering Education at the University of Minnesota
    Aeronautical Science 101: The Development of Engineering Science in Aeronautical Engineering Education at the University of Minnesota A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Amy Elizabeth Foster IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS October 2000 1. Introduction: Engineering Science and Its Role in Aeronautical Engineering Education In 1929, the University of Minnesota founded its Department of Aeronautical Engineering. John D. Akerman, the department head, developed the curriculum the previous year when aeronautical engineering was still an option for mechanical engineering students. Akerman envisioned the department's graduates finding positions as practical design engineers in industry. Therefore, he designed the curriculum with a practical perspective. However, with the rising complexity of aircraft through the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, engineering science grew more important to aeronautical engineering design practices than ever before. In 1948, the university closed a deal on an idle gunpowder plant. The aeronautical engineering department converted the site into a top- notch aeronautical research laboratory. A new dean for the engineering schools, Athelstan Spilhaus, arrived at the University of Minnesota in 1949. He brought a vision for science-based engineering. Akerman, who never felt completely comfortable with theoretical design methods, struggled with the integration of engineering science into his department's curriculum. Despite Akerman's resistance, engineering science eventually permeated the aeronautical engineering curriculum at Minnesota through this new lab and the dean's vision. In following this path, the University of Minnesota came to exemplify the significant place of engineering science in aeronautical engineering by the 1950s.

  • Part 1 MOTION, SOUND & HEAT Isaac Asimov
    UNDERSTANDING PHYSICS – Part 1 MOTION, SOUND & HEAT Isaac Asimov Motion, Sound, and Heat From the ancient Greeks through the Age of Newton, the problems of motion, sound, and heat preoccupied the scientific imagination. These centuries gave birth to the basic concepts from which modern physics has evolved. In this first volume of his celebrated UNDERSTANDING PHYSICS, Isaac Asimov deals with this fascinating, momentous stage of scientific development with an authority and clarity that add further lustre to an eminent reputation. Demanding the minimum of specialised knowledge from his audience, he has produced a work that is the perfect supplement to the student’s formal textbook, as well se offering invaluable illumination to the general reader. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ISAAC ASIMOV is generally regarded as one of this country's leading writers of science and science fiction. He obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry from Columbia University and was Associate Professor of Bio-chemistry at Boston University School of Medicine. He is the author of over two hundred books, including The Chemicals of Life, The Genetic Code, The Human Body, The Human Brain, and The Wellsprings of Life. The Search for Knowledge From Philosophy to Physics The scholars of ancient Greece were the first we know of to attempt a thoroughgoing investigation of the universe--a systematic gathering of knowledge through the activity of human reason alone. Those who attempted this rationalistic search for understanding, without calling in the aid of intuition, inspiration, revelation, or other non-rational sources of information, were the philosophers (from Greek words meaning "lovers of wisdom").

José Arcadio Buendía spent the long months of the rainy season shut up in a small room that he had built in the rear of the house so that no one would disturb his experiments. Having completely abandoned his domestic obligations, he spent entire nights in the courtyard watching the course of the stars and he almost contracted sunstroke from trying to establish an exact method to ascertain noon.
