The French Academy of Sciences As a Patron of the Medical Sciences in the Early Nineteenth Century

In the wake of the French Revolution, the newly founded First Class of the Institute in Paris was able to make major contributions, not only to science but also to medicine. Unfortunately, the latter has hardly been appreciated. These medical contributions may be summarized as being: (1) through the interests of two of its sections, (2) through patronage and, in particular, its exceptional encouragement of one young man, François Magendie, (3) through the Montyon legacy, (4) through its implicit recognition of pharmacy and pharmacology. Special attention is given to the relationship of the official body of science with Magendie, the founder of experimental physiology, through a detailed study of the minutes of the meetings of the First Class (renamed the Academy of Sciences after 1816). Whereas one might have expected medical institutions to have played a significant part in the development of the medical sciences, it was the Academy of Sciences which played a leading role.

'Amicus Plato sed…': Fowler's New Mathematical Reconstruction of the Mathematics of Plato's Academy

A study of the metallurgy and manufacturing techniques of a group of eight astrolabes (seven from Lahore, one attributed to India) using non-destructive methods has produced the earliest evidence for systematic use of high-zinc (α?+?β) brass. To produce this alloy, the brass industry supplying the Lahore instrument makers must have co-melted metallic copper and zinc. This brass-making technology was previously believed to have been developed on an industrial scale in the nineteenth century in Europe. This work hypothesizes that this technology was used in Lahore on an industrial scale as early as ad 1601. In addition, this work hypothesizes that the α?+?β brass alloy was used specifically for its ease in manufacturing the thin sheet brass required for astrolabe-component manufacture.     

中国科学院空间科学与应用研究中心

中国科学院空间科学与应用研究中心(以下简称空间中心)成立于1987年,前身为空间物理所(1958年成立的原应用地球物理所)和空间科学技术中心(1979年成立).1994年又与中国科学院空间科学与应用总体部合并.合并后的空间中心既是在空间科学、技术和应用研究领域以高技术研究发展为主导,从事战略性科技创新和基础性研究的科研基地型研究所,也是一个承担着系统设计和系统集成并协调重大空间任务,为空间任务提供科学和技术支持的总体性机构.

On the epistemological foundations of the law of the lever

In this paper I challenge Paolo Palmieri’s reading of the Mach—Vailati debate on Archimedes’ proof of the law of the lever. I argue that the actual import of the debate concerns the possible epistemic (as opposed to merely pragmatic) role of mathematical arguments in empirical physics, and that construed in this light Vailati carries the upper hand. This claim is defended by showing that Archimedes’ proof of the law of the lever is not a way of appealing to a non-empirical source of information, but a way of explicating the mathematical structure that can represent the empirical information at our disposal in the most general way.     

On the adenosintriphosphatase activity of the particulates of the egg of the sea urchinParacentrotus lividus

Riassunto I particolati delle uova vergini di riccio di mare possono essere separati, a mezzo della centrifugazione differenziale, in due frazioni, una fortemente ed una scarsamente pigmentata. La prima mostra una attività ATPasica attivata da Mg con un massimo a pH 8.2; il massimo della seconda è invece a pH 6.4. Nelle preparazioni contenenti i due tipi di particolati si ritrovano i due massimi.     

Establishment of the indigenous microbial flora of the intestines in the course of the evolution of vertebrates

Riassunto È stato osservato che la flora microbica indigena intestinale, praticamente assente nei Pesci, si trova associata stabilmente nei Tetrapodi, a partire dagli Anfibi Urodeli e Anuri.     

Statistical analysis of the relation between the length of the genoma and the diploid number of the chromosomes inCercopithecus

Riassunto Utilizzando metodiche statistiche è stato analizzato l'incremento della lunghezza totale del genoma rispetto al numero dei cromosomi in piastre a diversa ploidia nel genereCercopithecus. È stato riscontrato che la relazione numero dei cromosomi e lunghezza del genoma è significativamente lineare. È supposto un meccanismo adittivo per interpretare l'incremento del numero dei cromosomi.
