Telefunken Und Der Deutsche Schiffsfunk, 1903–1914, Michael Friedewald

Michael Friedewald

On May 27, 1903 the “Gesellschaft für drahtlose Teleg- raphie m.b.H.” (System Telefunken) was established as a subsidiary of the Allgemeine Electricitäts Gesellschaft (AEG) and Siemens & Halske AG. In the following years the new enterprise, which had a practical monopo- ly in Germany, was aggressively seeking markets both in Europe and in North America. In marine uses radio was filling a gap in the existing communications technology large enough to give Telefunken a chance to establish itself. In German merchant shipping, wireless stations were at first considered a dispensable luxury, that were useful only for large shipping companies for …

The aim of this communication is to detail some main images projected by CSIC from its laboratuory in Cádiz, as critical information points from the past. 1957-1966 is the studied period, its fondational time. The indexation of the scientific problems related with the activity of the laboratory makes use of the calculation of transition probabilities. Catch percentages and bathymetric distributions are emoployed to approach the structure of the oceanographic campaigns results. The quantitative enumeration of observed organs and mathematical procedures provide information on the observations in the tunny fisheries. Multivariant bibliometry (factorial and cluster analysis, multiple regression) , and coauthor …

We turn printed music into wonderful sounds, often without consciouseffort. Icons fill our churches, synagogues and mosques, dot our computer screens, andare sprawled on billboards, on clothing and advertisement pages. Architecture and artconspire to fill our views with meaningful shapes and form. Pictures capture an instant intime, while movies and video entertain us with visual motion. We live in a visual world,full of information transmitted by light.


The Age Of Entanglement Jan 2001

The Age Of Entanglement

David D Nolte

Quantum mechanics is a venerable field of study. The year 2000 marked the 100th anniversary of theoriginal quantum hypothesis proposed by Max Planck in November of 1900. Few current fields in physicsor engineering are as old as quantum mechanics. It predates relativity, both special and general. It predatesnuclear and particle physics. Quantum mechanics even predates universal acceptance of the molecularhypothesis, that is, that all matter is made up of individual molecules in thermal motion. It may be hard tobelieve, but this happened only after Einstein's paper on Brownian motion was published in his miracleyear 1905.
