  • Biological Switching Algorithms by Luca Cardelli, Assistant Director, Microsoft Research, Cambridge
    16th July 2012 Isaac Newton Institute 20th Anniversary Lecture: Biological Switching Algorithms by Luca Cardelli, Assistant Director, Microsoft Research, Cambridge The Isaac Newton Institute (INI) for Mathematical Sciences, associated with Churchill College at Cambridge University, has an international reputation for its advanced research programmes. As part of the INI’s 20th Anniversary celebrations, it has sponsored lectures around the UK given by participants who are visiting the Institute. Dr. Cardelli gave an excellent and well attended lecture with a strong multidisciplinary flavour. He explained how chemical processes involved in the cell cycle can be formalised in terms of process algebra, enabling us to understand the coupled feedback loops that control this central mechanism for sustaining life. Starting with a hypothesis about double switching networks and taking account of the chemical constraints required for a biological implementation in living cells, he neatly derived the coupled structure of double negative and double positive feedback loops that is observed in cell biology. He explained how the dynamic behaviour of interacting populations may be simplified by adding a carefully crafted element of complexity, in the form of an intermediate state, to achieve bi‐ stability with fast responsiveness to control actions and robustness against external disturbances. Double switching networks were illustrated with mechanical examples including the use of trammels to design ellipses, as old as Aristotle, and the shishi‐odoshi (scare‐deer) devices commonly used in rural Japan. However, the main principles in the talk apply more generally to populations of interacting agents, be they software, sensors, cells or people. The talk was followed by a celebratory dinner also sponsored by the Isaac Newton Institute.

  • The Science of Astrology: Schreibkalender, Natural Philosophy, and Everyday Life in the Seventeenth-Century German Lands
    The Science of Astrology: Schreibkalender, Natural Philosophy, and Everyday Life in the Seventeenth-Century German Lands A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kelly Marie Smith M.A. University of Cincinnati, December 2003 B.S. Eastern Michigan University, December 2000 Committee Chair: Sigrun Haude, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation explores the use of Schreibkalender, or writing-calendars, and their accompanying prognostica astrologica to evaluate how ideas about seventeenth-century natural philosophy – particularly the relationship between astronomy and astrology – changed throughout the period. These calendars contain a wealth of information that demonstrates the thirst early modern readers had for knowledge of the world around them. Because Schreibkalender and prognostica were written annually for the general populace and incorporated contemporary ideas regarding natural philosophy, they provide a means to assess the roles of both astronomical and astrological ideas during this period and how these changes were conveyed to the average person. Not only did authors present practical information related to the natural world, but they also explained basic philosophical principles and new discoveries to their audience. This research examines how changing ideas about the role of natural philosophy and its direct influence on everyday life developed over the course of the seventeenth century. An examination of the Schreibkalender and prognostica reveals a shift in emphasis throughout the period. Early calendars (approximately 1600-30) presented direct astronomical and astrological information related to the daily life of the average person, whereas those from the middle of the century (~1630-70) added helpful details explaining astronomical and astrological concepts.

  • The Nova Stella and Its Observers
    Running title: Nova stella 1572 AD The Nova Stella and its Observers P. Ruiz–Lapuente ∗,∗∗ 1. Introduction In 1572, physicists were still living with the concepts of mechanics inherited from Aris- totle and with the classification of the elements from the Greek philosopher. The growing criticism towards the Aristotelian views on the natural world could not turn very produc- tive, because the necessary elements of calculus and the empirical tools to move into a better frame were still lacking. However, in astronomy, observers had witnessed by that time the comet of 1556 and they would witness a new one in 1577. Moreover, since 1543 when De Revolutionibus Orbium Caelestium by Copernicus came to light, the apparent motion of the planets had a radically different explanation from the ortodox geocentrism. The new helio- centric view slowly won supporters among astronomers. The explanations concerning the planetary motions would depart from the “common sense” intuitions that had placed the earth sitting still at the center of the planetary system. Thus the “nova stella” in 1572 happened in the middle of the geocentric–versus–heliocentric debate. The other “nova”, the one that would be observed in 1604 by Kepler, came just shortly after the posthumous publication of Tycho Brahe’s Astronomiae Instauratae Progymnasmata1 which contains most of the debates in relation to the appearance of the “new star”2. arXiv:astro-ph/0502399v1 21 Feb 2005 The machinery moving the planetary spheres, i.e. the intrincate system of solid spheres rotating by the motion imparted to them as the wheels in a clock, was not directly affected by the new heliocentric proposal.
