El-Gendy and Catrin Sian Rutland 1. History of veterinary anatomy and physiology The anatomy of animals has long fascinated people, with mural paintings depicting the superficial anatomy of animals dating back to the Palaeolithic era [1]. However, evidence suggests that the earliest appearance of scientific anatomical study may have been in ancient Babylonia, although the tablets upon which this was recorded have perished and the remains indicate that Babylonian knowledge was in fact relatively limited [2]. As such, with early exploration of anatomy documented in the writing of various papyri, ancient Egyptian civilisation is believed to be the origin of the anatomist [3]. With content dating back to 3000 BCE, the Edwin Smith papyrus demonstrates a recognition of cerebrospinal fluid, meninges and surface anatomy of the brain, whilst the Ebers papyrus describes systemic function of the body including the heart and vas- culature, gynaecology and tumours [4]. The Ebers papyrus dates back to around 1500 bCe; however, it is also thought to be based upon earlier texts.

  • Calcium and Potassium Spectra in the EUV
    atoms Review Calcium and Potassium Spectra in the EUV Elmar Träbert Fakultät für Physik und Astronomie, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, AIRUB, 44780 Bochum, Germany; [email protected]; Tel.: +49-234-322-3451; Fax: +49-234-321-4169 Received: 28 August 2020; Accepted: 2 October 2020; Published: 14 October 2020 Abstract: In online data bases, the entries on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectra of Ca are much more sparse than those of neighbouring elements such as Ar, K, Sc and Ti. This may be a result of experimental problems with Ca in the laboratory as well as of the limited role of multiply charged Ca ions in solar observations. Beam-foil EUV spectra of Ca and K are presented that provide survey data of a single element each. Keywords: atomic physics; EUV spectra; beam-foil spectroscopy 1. Introduction Early in the 19th century Wollaston and Fraunhofer detected dark lines in their prism spectra of the Sun, and Fraunhofer labelled the strongest of these lines by capital letters of the alphabet. A few decades later Kirchhoff and Bunsen recognized that those dark lines agreed in position with bright lines in the spectra of a flame seeded with specific materials. Thus it was eventually learned that Fraunhofer’s line ‘G’ (partly) originates from calcium (Ca, atomic number Z = 20) atoms, and his lines ‘H’ and ‘K’ belong to singly charged Ca+ ions. Evidently, Ca is abundant enough in the Sun to feature prominently in the solar visible spectrum. Subsequently, the various spectra of Ca have been studied in flames, arcs, sparks, and whatever plasma discharge light sources seemed appropriate, and the extent of the spectral coverage has expanded from the visible to the infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, wavelengths below 200 nm), and extreme ultraviolet (EUV, wavelengths below 110 nm) to the X-ray range (wavelengths shorter than, say, 5 nm).

To stay abreast of school news day by day, see www.health.pitt.edu Paul Lauterbur (left) receives his prize from the king of Sweden Lauterbur Gets Nobel In the early 1980s, when magnetic resonance imaging equipment first was used clinically, Paul Lauterbur attended a meeting of radiologists to explain applications of MRI technology. After giving his presentation, Lauterbur overheard an older radiologist grumble, “I am glad that I am old enough to be retiring. Now I don’t have to learn all this stuff.” “This stuff” changed the field of radiology, allowing doctors to have images of internal organs, tis- sues, and tumors. Today, approximately 22,000 MRI scanners are in operation worldwide, and about 60 million scans are performed a year. Lauterbur, who received his PhD in chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh in 1962, remembers thinking there had to be a better way than exploratory surgery for doctors to examine tumors and organs. He was familiar with imaging techniques. In the ’50s and early ’60s while working at the Mellon Institute, Lauterbur studied the carbon-13 isotope with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a technology mostly used by chemists to determine the structure of mol- ecules by subjecting atomic nuclei to a magnetic field. Lauterbur was eating a hamburger at a Big Boy in New Kensington when he realized that NMR could identify the location of hydrogen nuclei to produce images of the body. It took FLASHBACK years of experimentation before Lauterbur was able to develop the clinical technology that became Astronomer Percival Lowell insisted known as MRI.

  • Edward Mills Purcell (1912–1997)
    ARTICLE-IN-A-BOX Edward Mills Purcell (1912–1997) Edward Purcell grew up in a small town in the state of Illinois, USA. The telephone equipment which his father worked with professionally was an early inspiration. His first degree was thus in electrical engineering, from Purdue University in 1933. But it was in this period that he realized his true calling – physics. After a year in Germany – almost mandatory then for a young American interested in physics! – he enrolled in Harvard for a physics degree. His thesis quickly led to working on the Harvard cyclotron, building a feedback system to keep the radio frequency tuned to the right value for maximum acceleration. The story of how the Manhattan project brought together many of the best physicists to build the atom bomb has been told many times. Not so well-known but equally fascinating is the story of radar, first in Britain and then in the US. The MIT radiation laboratory was charged with developing better and better radar for use against enemy aircraft, which meant going to shorter and shorter wavelengths and detecting progressively weaker signals. This seems to have been a crucial formative period in Purcell’s life. His coauthors on the magnetic resonance paper, Torrey and Pound, were both from this lab. I I Rabi, the physicist who won the 1944 Nobel Prize for measuring nuclear magnetic moments by resonance methods in molecular beams, was the head of the lab and a major influence on Purcell. Interestingly, Felix Bloch (see article on p.956 in this issue) was at the nearby Radio Research lab but it appears that the two did not interact much.

  • Spectroscopy
    Chapter 1, page 1 Spectroscopy An Introduction to the Theoretical and Experimental Fundamentals 1 Introduction In the year 1666 at Cambridge, Isaac Newton procured a triangular glass prism and let a ray of sunlight from a small round hole in the window illuminate it. He observed the image created thereby on a paper screen. The white light from the window dissociated into red, yellow, green, blue, and violet. He called the invisible colors in the white sunlight the “spectrum” (lat spectrum = image in the soul) [1]. It was at the end of the 19th century that the observation of spectra was first christened “Spectroscopy”. This word has both a Latin and Greek root (Greek skopein = to look). Arthur Schuster first used the term spectroscopy in 1882 during a lecture at the Royal Institution [2]. Newton led the way from speculation to spectral analysis by making exact measurement and having clear insights. The oldest observation of nature dealing with the properties of invisible light comes to us from the Roman scholar and philosopher Titus Carus Lucretius. Infrared spectroscopists therefore consider him to be their intellectual father. Around 60 B.C. he hypothesized the existence of infrared radiation: [3]: »Forsitan et rosea sol alte lampade lucens possideat multum caecis fervoribus ignem circum se, nullo qui sit fulgore notatus, aestifer ut tantum radiorum exaugeat ictum.« (original Latin) or freely translated into English: »Perhaps the sun, shining above with rosy lamp is surrounded by much fire and invisible heat. Thus the fire may be accompanied by radiance which increases the power of rays.« or translated by Knebel [3] into German: »Mag es auch sein, dass hoch die rosige Fackel der Sonne ringsum Feuer verbirgt in düsteren unscheinbaren Gluten, die beitragen, die Macht so heftiger Strahlen zu mehren«.
