  • January 2019 Cardanus & Krafft
    A PUBLICATION OF THE LUNAR SECTION OF THE A.L.P.O. EDITED BY: Wayne Bailey [email protected] 17 Autumn Lane, Sewell, NJ 08080 RECENT BACK ISSUES: http://moon.scopesandscapes.com/tlo_back.html FEATURE OF THE MONTH – JANUARY 2019 CARDANUS & KRAFFT Sketch and text by Robert H. Hays, Jr. - Worth, Illinois, USA September 24, 2018 04:40-05:04 UT, 15 cm refl, 170x, seeing 7/10, transparence 6/6. I drew these craters and vicinity on the night of Sept. 23/24, 2018. The moon was about 22 hours before full. This area is in far western Oceanus Procellarum, and was favorably placed for observation that night. Cardanus is the southern one of this pair and is of moderate depth. Krafft to the north is practically identical in size, and is perhaps slightly deeper. Neither crater has a central peak. Several small craters are near and within Krafft. The crater just outside the southeast rim of Krafft is Krafft E, and Krafft C is nearby within Krafft. The small pit to the west is Krafft K, and Krafft D is between Krafft and Cardanus. Krafft C, D and E are similar sized, but K is smaller than these. A triangular-shaped swelling protrudes from the north side of Krafft. The tiny pit, even smaller than Krafft K, east of Cardanus is Cardanus E. There is a dusky area along the southwest side of Cardanus. Two short dark strips in this area may be part of the broken ring Cardanus R as shown on the. Lunar Quadrant map.

    The Royal Society's lost women scientists | Science... http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/nov/21/r... The Royal Society's lost women scientists A study of the Royal Society's archives reveals that women played a far more important role in the development and dissemination of science than had previously been thought, says Richard Holmes Richard Holmes The Observer, Sunday 21 November 2010 larger | smaller Richard Holmes standing next to a bust of Mary Somerville at the Royal Society, London. Photograph: Gary Calton In December 1788, the astronomer royal, Dr Nevil Maskelyne FRS, wrote effusively to 38-year-old Caroline Herschel congratulating her on being the "first women in the history of the world" to discover not one, but two new comets. No woman since renowned Greek mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria had had such an impact on the sciences. Her celebrity would, as the director of the Paris Observatory, Pierre Méchain, noted, "shine down through the ages". Nevertheless, observed Dr Maskelyne with jocular good humour, he hoped Caroline did not feel too isolated among the male community of astronomers in Britain. He hoped she would not be tempted ride off alone into outer space on "the immense fiery tail" of her new comet. "I hope you, dear Miss Caroline, for the benefit of terrestrial astronomy, will not think of taking such a flight, at least till your friends are ready to accompany 1 of 12 11/20/10 9:37 PM The Royal Society's lost women scientists | Science... http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/nov/21/r..

  • De Onde Veio a Mecânica Quântica?
    DE ONDE VEIO A MECÂNICA QUÂNTICA? • Terça-Feira, dia 10 de abril, às 16 h, Mauro M Doria Instituto de Física Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Ciclo de Seminários do Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Física Agradecimento ao prof. Vitorvani pelo convite Grandes nomes da Física Albert Einstein 1879-1955 Isaac Newton Erwin Schrödinger 1643-1727 1887-1961 A Física como um desenvolvimento lento e gradual Observações • Os alunos na sua maioria percebem a Física como obra apenas de “grandes” nomes em momentos “importantes”. • Os livros textos apresentam os conceitos fundamentais da Física sempre associados aos “grandes” nomes, aqueles que tiveram as grandes “sacadas”, aqueles que fizeram as grandes descobertas. • Os alunos não sabem sequer se existiu ou mesmo ainda se existe ou existirá espaço para os “pequenos” nomes. • Portanto questionam se eles próprios, “pequenos” nomes, podem fazer algum algo de útil na Física ou se estão fadados a repetir e comprovar conceitos já conhecidos Objetivos • Criar uma narrativa dentro da perspectiva do “pequeno” nome e mostrar que o desenvolvimento conceitual é uma contribuição de muitos embora os participantes nem sempre se deem conta.. • Mostrar que conceitos corretos coexistem com incorretos e existem pessoas descobrindo e intuindo coisas certas e erradas que levam a um desenvolvimento lento e gradual de uma área. • Mostrar que o dia a dia da Física é acessível a todos sendo a formulação da pergunta mais importante do que a resposta. • Mostrar que “pequeno” e “grande” podem inverter posições. Os cientistas são pessoas comuns e vivem seus conflitos humanos, enquanto isto a área evolui. A descoberta dos espectros quânticos A espectroscopia desenvolvida no período entre 1802-1860 é um campo fértil para explorar o surgimento dos pilares básicos da Mecânica Quântica praticamente vindo do nada.

  • The Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents 1841 T0 2021
    The Presidents of the Chemical Society & Royal Society of Chemistry (1841–2024) Contents Introduction 04 Chemical Society Presidents (1841–1980) 07 Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents (1980–2024) 34 Researching Past Presidents 45 Presidents by Date 47 Cover images (left to right): Professor Thomas Graham; Sir Ewart Ray Herbert Jones; Professor Lesley Yellowlees; The President’s Badge of Office Introduction On Tuesday 23 February 1841, a meeting was convened by Robert Warington that resolved to form a society of members interested in the advancement of chemistry. On 30 March, the 77 men who’d already leant their support met at what would be the Chemical Society’s first official meeting; at that meeting, Thomas Graham was unanimously elected to be the Society’s first president. The other main decision made at the 30 March meeting was on the system by which the Chemical Society would be organised: “That the ordinary members shall elect out of their own body, by ballot, a President, four Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, two Secretaries, and a Council of twelve, four of Introduction whom may be non-resident, by whom the business of the Society shall be conducted.” At the first Annual General Meeting the following year, in March 1842, the Bye Laws were formally enshrined, and the ‘Duty of the President’ was stated: “To preside at all Meetings of the Society and Council. To take the Chair at all ordinary Meetings of the Society, at eight o’clock precisely, and to regulate the order of the proceedings. A Member shall not be eligible as President of the Society for more than two years in succession, but shall be re-eligible after the lapse of one year.” Little has changed in the way presidents are elected; they still have to be a member of the Society and are elected by other members.
