  • Histoire Des Techniques
    Histoire des techniques L’histoire des techniques est l’étude de toutes les réalisations techniques de l’Homme, de leur contexte d’apparition comme de leur impact sur la société. Les techniques répondent à des intentions, des projets et leur histoire est intimement liée à l’évolution des sociétés humaines comme à leurs besoins. Elle a toujours précédé, et cela jusqu’à peu (vers le milieu du XIX siècle), l’histoire des sciences. Ce n’est que très récemment, que les sciences ont permis de faire progresser les techniques. Histoire de l’Energie A l’origine, la notion d'énergie était liée à celle de force agissante capable de modifier un état préexistant- la force qui permet de déplacer un poids vers le haut, de bander un arc, de tirer une charrue. Elle ne pouvait provenir que du muscle humain ou animal. Les peuples de la mer furent les premiers à utiliser l'énergie du vent pour mouvoir les navires et, plus tard, les ailes des moulins à vent. Puis, l'homme découvrit la force de l'eau des rivières pour faire fonctionner les moulins à eau. Ce furent là ses principales sources d'énergie motrice jusqu'à la fin du XVIIIe s. Parallèlement, l'homme utilisait le feu et le bois pour se chauffer, travailler les métaux, etc., sans se rendre compte qu'il s'agissait là aussi d'énergie. Ce n'est qu'au début du XVIIIe s, avec l'apparition de la machine à vapeur, qu'on découvrit expérimentalement (Joule le prouvera 150 ans plus tard) que la chaleur peut produire de la force motrice, dans des quantités plus abondantes et à des coûts moindres que le muscle, le vent ou les chutes d'eau, et cela, malgré les faibles rendements (moins de 10 %) de la conversion.

  • The Global Dimensions of Britain and France's Crimean War Naval Campaigns Against Russia, 1854-1856
    The Global Dimensions of Britain and France’s Crimean War Naval Campaigns against Russia, 1854-1856. Andrew C. Rath Department of History McGill University, Montreal November 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. © Andrew C. Rath, 2011 I Abstract The Crimean War was fought far outside its namesake peninsula in the Black Sea Region. Between 1854 and 1856, Anglo-French naval forces attacked the Russian Empire in the Baltic, White Sea, and Pacific. These campaigns receive little attention from modern historians, and much of the work that does exist relies on a limited number of English-language sources. This dissertation, on the other hand, is a comprehensive examination of these campaigns built on a foundation of primary documents written in English, French, and Russian. It also synthesizes relevant secondary scholarship in order to provide a comprehensive background for the three major European belligerents and to consider the perspectives of the other polities impacted by the conflict, specifically Sweden-Norway, Denmark, China, and Japan. This work’s approach yields a more complete understanding of the worldwide context in which the Crimean War occurred. Ultimately, the wide-ranging imperial conflict that emerges starkly contrasts with customary depictions of the conflict as a petty, regionalized example noteworthy only as a cautionary tale of failed diplomacy and generalship or as a venue for advances is battlefield medicine, journalism, and photography. La Guerre de Crimée se déroula aussi hors de sa péninsule éponyme dans la région de la Mer Noire.

    ORTHODOX MISSIONARIES IN CHINA ARCHIMANDRITE PETER (KAMENSKY) THE FIRST RUSSIAN SINOLOGIST Translated by Mr. L. Shabashenkov China Orthodox Press 香港 2017 «For the learned missionaries Beijing is a great school, Heaven; but for the philistine it’s a torturous prison» Archimandrite Peter (Kamensky) Archimandrite Peter (Kamensky) – Th e First Russian Sinologist ARCHIMANDRITE PETER (KAMENSKY) — THE FIRST RUSSIAN SINOLOGIST The readers who have interest in the history of the Church in China are more familiar with the names of those among its outstanding personalities who made a signifi cant contribution to the development of Chinese studies or to Russian-Chinese relations. Worthy of special mention are the legendary heads of the Beijing Mission — Archimandrite Hyacinth (Bichurin) and Archimandrite Palladius (Kafarov). One of the reasons for such popularity is the long-term interest in the secular activities of the Russian Ortho- dox Ecclesiastical Mission in China that overshadowed its missionary work. Due to a number of external cir- cumstances, this work was diffi cult or restricted mostly for political reasons. Unfortunately, the allegiance of the Church to the state in the Russian Empire led to a sort of allegiance of the church missionary activities to the policy of the state. The Beijing Mission itself was at the same -3- Orthodox Missionaries in China time an institution of the Qing Empire under the control of the Chinese government. Under the mature system of the religious institutions, isolation of China from the rest of the world, and the tradition of Chinese governmental control over the religious life of its nationals, this circumstance had not provided fertile ground for the development of the Mission’s activities in its fi rst century and a half.

In different contexts this can be defined in different ways, including the capacities for abstract thought, understanding, communication, reasoning, learning, planning, emotional intelligence and problem solving. Intelligence is most widely studied in humans, but is also observed in animals and plants. Artificial intelligence is the intelligence of machines or the simulation of intelligence in machines. Numerous definitions of and hypotheses about intelligence have been proposed since before the twentieth century, with no consensus reached by scholars. Within the discipline of psychology, various approaches to human intelligence have been adopted. The psychometric approach is especially familiar to the general public, as well as being the most researched and by far the most widely used in practical settings.[1] History of the term Intelligence derives from the Latin verb intelligere which derives from inter-legere meaning to "pick out" or discern.

As a media archaeology of wirelessness, this dissertation situates the “discovery” of electromagnetic radiation and the “invention” of wireless transmission in a richer field of scientific, experimental, and aesthetic relations during the early and pre-history of national broadcasting. Before wireless transmission came to be synonymous with the mass distribution medium of radio or even the long-distance communication medium of wireless telegraphy, it was at the center of speculation about a variety of possible wireless
