    THE STORY OF RADIOLOGY 1 Volume 3 THE STORY OF RADIOLOGY VOLUME 3 5 7 31 Introduction Origins of Medical Marie Curie and the Physics in Radiology Radium Institute 51 73 Photography and Military Radiology Radiology on the Western Front THE STORY OF RADIOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION THE STORY OF RADIOLOGY INTRODUCTION VOLUME 3 On November 8 each year, radiologists, radiographers, medical professionals and scientists from all over the world get together to celebrate Wilhelm Con- rad Röntgen’s discovery of the x-ray. The International Day of Radiology has become a major occasion since its launch three years ago, helping to promote the importance of radiology in modern healthcare to the general public. But no International Day of Radiology would be complete without another chapter in the great Story of Radiology. This year you will learn about the use of medical imaging during the First World War, as we observe the 100th anniversary of that brutal moment in history. You will also get an insight into the life of one of the most famous scientists in history, Marie Curie, whose groundbreaking research and discoveries paved the way for the modern science of radiology. The development of MRI, the relationship between photography and radiology, as well as the origins of medical phys- ics, are also explored in this year’s edition. Once again, this book was only possible through the generous support from the International Society for the History of Radiology and the German Röntgen Museum, who provided the content. As the world remembers the WILHELM CONRAD bloody battles of the First World War, it is really worth reflecting on how RÖNTGEN medical imaging adapted to treat war casualties on the front.

  • Crafting Your Father's Idol
    CRAFTING ―YOUR FATHER‘S IDOL‖: THE SPORTING PRESS AND THE PROMOTION OF BASEBALL‘S STARS, 1900-1928 by LORI AMBER ROESSNER (Under the Direction of Janice Hume) ABSTRACT Heralded as America‘s national pastime, baseball was one of the country‘s preeminent cultural activities referenced in popular fiction, vaudeville shows, black-and-white films, sheet music, radio, and the press in the early twentieth century. Sports journalists touted its cast of stars on the covers of newspapers and magazines. Historians have argued that these mythmakers of the Golden Age of Sports Writing (1920-1930) manufactured mass heroes from white ball players for mainstream media; however, they have neglected to fully examine the practice of herocrafting. This dissertation seeks to further explore the production of cultural sports heroes by investigating the journalistic conventions and working associations involved in the process through a combination of textual and archival analysis. Doing so not only reveals insights into the practices of early twentieth-century sports journalists, it also provides a unique lens into the cultural implications of hero construction. It affords a prism through which to explore the interaction between sports journalism and mainstream American culture. Press and archival sources surrounding the lives of baseball icons Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson and well-known sports journalists Grantland Rice, F.C. Lane, and John N. Wheeler were culled and analyzed. Following the cue of cultural studies theorists Raymond Williams and James Carey, this manuscript treats the study of communication as the examination of historic ritual. Overall, it involved analysis of 297 articles and columns from more than thirty general and specialty, mass- circulating newspapers and magazines and four memoirs, as well as archival documents from the University of Georgia‘s Richard B.

  • Radium Lady. Kalendarium Pierwszej Podróży Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie Do Stanów Zjednoczonych, 1921
    Dominika Korzeniowska Muzeum Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie w Warszawie Radium Lady. Kalendarium pierwszej podróży Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie do Stanów Zjednoczonych, 1921 Pierwsza wizyta Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie w Stanach Zjednoczonych trwała sześć i pół tygodnia, od 11 maja do 25 czerwca 1921 roku, nie licząc podróży transatlantykiem. Jej głównym celem było przyjęcie z rąk prezydenta USA Warrena G. Hardinga (1865–1923) daru w postaci grama radu o wartości 100 000 dolarów. Fundusze na jego zakup zgromadzono w ramach zbiórki, głównie wśród kobiet amerykańskich, której pomysłodawczynią była dziennikarka Marie Mattingly Meloney (1878–1943), znana w życiu zawodowym jako Mrs. William Brown Meloney, nazywana przez przyjaciół Missy. W związku z wizytą Marii Curie w USA szereg instytucji pragnęło uhonorować jej dokonania, między innymi przyjmując ją w poczet członków lub nadając tytuł doktora honoris causa. Plan trwającej czterdzieści sześć dni podróży przewidywał pierwotnie przystanki w trzydziestu miejscach. Na życzenie noblistki w programie uwzględniono trzy punkty: wizytę w Canonsburgu (Pensylwania) – w zakładzie Standard Chemical Company z Pittsburgha, który wyprodukował gram radu dla Marii Curie, oraz zwiedzanie cudów natury – Wielkiego Kanionu (Arizona) i wodospadu Niagara (Nowy Jork)1. Ze względu na stan zdrowia Radium Lady, jak niekiedy nazywano uczoną2, część zaplanowanych wydarzeń zostanie odwołana. Inicjatorka podróży, Marie Meloney, dziennikarka związana między innymi z redakcjami „Washington Post”, „Denver Post”, „Sun”, „Everybody’s”, następnie redaktor naczelna jednego z sześciu głównych amerykańskich pism dla kobiet „The Delineator”, była jedną z pierwszych kobiet, które uzyskały miejsce w loży prasowej Senatu USA3. Utykająca po wypadku konnym z okresu dzieciństwa, niezastąpiona Missy będzie w czasie wizyty pełnić szereg funkcji, zmieniając się w zależności od potrzeb w „gospodynię, organizatorkę imprez, agentkę turystyczną, psycholożkę, mówczynię motywacyjną, osobistą asystentkę, publicystkę, pielęgniarkę i zaufaną towarzyszkę”4.

  • Marie Sklodowska Curie: the Woman Who Opened the Nuclear Age
    Marie Sklodowska Curie: The Woman Who Opened The Nuclear Age by Denise Ham A new look at a revolutionary scientist’s passion for truth, and how she inspired a generation of Americans. n my quest to examine the life of Marie Curie, I had the good for- Itune to rediscover her life’s work, particularly her discovery of poloni- um and radium, and her great dis- covery concerning the nature of the atom. In this journey, I was happy to become intimately aware that dis- covery itself, is an issue of passion. It surprised me considerably that my understanding of her work grew enormously, because I simply loved trying to understand that which she discovered. Since my formal educa- tion is more than bereft, especially in science, I think that I am fortunate in being able to discover in myself that very passion for knowledge which drives the creative individual to make critical discoveries that transform the physical universe. I have many peo- ple to thank for helping me in this project, which took more than a year; foremost, I wish to thank Madame Marie Sklodowska Curie, and say that her life is an inspiration which I AIP Niels Bohr Library have loved.

  • Shame and Its Mitigation in Willa Cather's Work
    SHARDS OF GLASS: Shame and Its Mitigation in Willa Cather’s Work by Nancy L. Boisvert A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Boston College Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences Graduate School October 2020 © Copyright 2020 Nancy L. Boisvert SHARDS OF GLASS: SHAME AND ITS MITIGATION IN WILLA CATHER’S WORK Nancy L. Boisvert Advisor: Dr. Marjorie Howes, Ph.D This work applies current theories of affect to inform an understanding of the role of shame in the process of narration. It begins with a dual-sided hypothesis: experiences of humiliation and its consequence, shame, can initiate and mediate a narrative act, and the narrative process can immediately or over time mitigate and even eliminate the negative feelings of shame. The project particularly draws upon the pioneering affect theories of Silvan S. Tomkins to focus upon the life and written works of Willa Cather. It discovers and traces a poetics of shame as it occurs throughout the narratives she produced over a lifetime. It highlights how the Cathers’ forced migration from Virginia to Nebraska resulted in a loss of class and status as well as alterations in family dynamics. These disruptions created the foundations for her perceived humiliations and the shame that motivated her use of recurrent scenes, characters, narrative resolutions and even the very language she chose. This study emphasizes the usefulness of the application of affect studies for literary criticism

  • 3. American Memories of Madame Curie
    JULIE DES JARDINS 3. AMERICAN MEMORIES OF MADAME CURIE Prisms on the Gendered Culture of Science INTRODUCTION In January 2005, Lawrence Summers, then the president of Harvard University, opened a Pandora’s box at a conference of the National Bureau of Economic Research. He posited that “issues of intrinsic aptitude” might be to blame for women’s disproportionately poor standing in American science. Scientists and non- scientists were astounded at his audacity when news first broke of his comments, though transcripts later made public revealed more ambiguity in them. As it turned out, Summers cited more than biological rationales for the dearth of women in science--differences in socialization and patterns of discrimination were also possible culprits. But his suggestion that biology could be involved seemed to tear off the scab of a festering wound; the nurture/nature debate in science had been reopened in a very public forum.1 Until then, there were reasons to think that the charged debate over the “women’s problem” in science was diminishing, even becoming a relic of the past. Though women still obtain science doctorates and fulltime science employment to a lesser degree than men, the trend in all science and engineering fields, aside from computer science, has been women’s increasing numerical presence. In 1958, women earned 7.9% of doctorate degrees in all science, engineering, and health fields; by 2006 women represented 40.2% of the whole. In 1973 women were 4.3% of all full professors in science and engineering fields; in 2006 they were 19.4%, by no means a majority, but increasingly a force with which to contend.2 There is no reason to think that the numbers of women in science won’t continue to rise, but are the numbers necessarily a gauge of the questions asked in science institutions or of the social ramifications of the work performed in them? One still has to wonder if the culture of science has changed, if women’s qualitative experience of science empowers them, and if they truly enrich science with what they bring to the table.

Garvey, Professor, English, New Jersey City University External Examiner ii Abstract This dissertation, which studies Wharton’s authorship through the lens of her periodical publications and subsequent book revisions, contrary to earlier evaluations of her career, portrays her as a modern writer attuned to the changing literary marketplace and able to cater to diverse audiences. It argues that studying Wharton’s authorship—her “trajectory” (Bourdieu, Field 189)—through her engagement with various periodicals (from the higher-brow Scribner’s Magazine to the middlebrow Pictorial Review and Delineator) and within the context of the American literary field at the turn of the twentieth century offers a more nuanced view of her career as a “series of positions” in the literary arena characterized by the progressive adaptation of her authorship to the marketplace.
