Louis De Broglie Essay

Daniel Bernoulli was born February 8, 1700, Groningen, Netherlands, he died March 17, 1782, Basel, Switzerland. He is known for his work on hydrodynamics, and he also did pioneering. During 1725-1749 he won a total of 10 prizes from the Paris Academy of Sciences for his work on astronomy, gravity, tides, magnetism, ocean currents, and the ships at sea. He also made substantial contributions in probability, he shared the 1735 prize for work on orbits with his dad, he was thrown out the house because his dad felt the prize he won should be only his. His prizewinning papers reflected on his life success on the research of science and the ability to be an interested public the scientific problems of the day. 1732 he accepted a post in anatomy

The speaker is Baron de Breteuil, a French diplomat from Moscow. The speaker is credible because even though he acknowledges how certain aspects of her reign will flourish and how her passion proves useful in Russian society, he does mention negative vices that will inflict havoc upon her sovereignty and ultimately lead to internal faults in her empire.

The prospect of labor to earn money is a blessing for many people in the world. In the essay, “Work Is a Blessing” by Russel Honoré, the author makes a point that this prospect is vital for survival. Honoré starts his essay with a story from his past: “We grew cotton, sugar cane, corn, hogs, chickens and had a large garden, but it didn't bring in much cash. So when I was 12, I got a part-time job on a dairy farm down the road, helping to milk cows” (79). Readers can immediately infer that even if Honoré hated the job, it allowed him to help his family.

Quantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic particles and their behavior patterns that are observed in nature. As the foundation of scientific knowledge approached the start of the twentieth century, problems began to arise over the fact that classic physical ideas were not capable of explaining the observed behavior of subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist Neils Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model of the atom that began the process of a more defined understanding of its subatomic particles. It was accepted in the early part of the twentieth century that light traveled as both waves and particles. The reason light appears to act as a wave and particle is because we are noticing the

Eugene Jacques Bullard was born October 9th 1895 in Columbus, Georgia. He was nicknamed “The Black Swallow of Death”. He was one of 10 children. His father was William O, Bullard nicknamed “Big Chief Ox”, and his mother was Josephine Thomas. She was a Creek Indian. He went to school at Twenty-Eight Street School from 1901 to 1906 where he learned to read and write. As a teenager Eugene hid on a ship headed towards Scotland because he was trying to get away from racism. Bullard arrived at Aberdeen before making his way south to Glasgow. Eugen became a boxer in Paris and also worked in a music hall. When he visited Paris he decided to live in France. When World War 1 first started Eugene decided to join the war. he enlisted on October 19, 1914 in the 1st Regiment of Foreign Legion

De France, Marie. The Lais of Marie De France. Trans. Glyn S. Burgess and Keith

     Aristocracy is a phenomenon that is perhaps as natural a summer crop, and as devastating as the locusts that eat it. De Tocqueville’s position on aristocracy is quite clear. He is a strong advocate of the aristocracy, it is a part of the natural order and necessary. His position may have some basis, however I have yet to see the “upside'; of a caste system or a good defense of it.

Marie de France begins her story by describing Bisclavret, her main character, as well as defining what a werewolf is: “a ferocious beast which, when possessed by this madness, devours men, causes great damage and dwells in vast forests” (de France, 68). She wants to relate the two by allowing the reader to decide what she means by the descriptions and why she would correlate them. De France does a little play and twists the monsters throughout her story. Being a werewolf, Bisclavret may start out as a monster without; and, at first, his wife seems to be so beautiful and innocent, but there lied a monster within her. Later in the story, Bisclavret is no more than a human being, and his wife’s monstrousness shows from within and she transforms into a monster without. The themes gathered from this story are the relationship between love and suffering, justice, and the wife who may be at first likable, but then changes the way that “monsters” are viewed. In order to modify the stereotypes of what a monster is, de France made Bisclavret, a werewolf, the “good guy,” and his beautiful wife, an unforeseen “bad guy.” The wife in the story Bisclavret portrays a trustworthy, loving wife, until she reacts quite differently to him being honest with whom he really is. Her character is the very thing, which makes the reader reconsider the definition of a monster and the truth about monsters within.

I observed Dr. André La Gerche, a well-respected sports cardiologist, speak on April 12th for the Mortiz Speaker Series. The series is coordinated by the Nursing College at UTA in order to promote and inform the community on health and wellness. I chose the presentation as it suited my schedule and I’m generally interested in research techniques. Dr. La Gerche described his research on the possible negative health effects for dedicated athletes on their hearts, incorporating an innovative MRI scan while exercise takes place.

I chose to do my research on Brunelleschi's design of the dome for Florence's cathedral named Il Duomo. For decades the cathedral in Florence sat with a gaping hole in the roof allowing rain, wind, and sun to beat on the insides of the structure. In 1418 Florence’s Fathers decided to have a dome built to cover the hole. They faced quite the task as this dome would be by far the largest in the world. The planning process was intense trying to find an idea that would work to build this enormous dome. The dome would need to be 150 feet across and the base would start 180 feet up from the ground. (Mueller) After about a year of talking over the plan with Brunelleschi his design was chosen over everyone else’s. His idea incorporated two separate

St. Jean de Brebeuf was born in Normandy, France, on March 25, 1593. In 1622, Jean was ordained as a priest, after he joined the Society of Jesus. Three years after St. Jean was ordained, he volunteered to go to Quebec, Canada, as a missionary to teach about Christ (Catholic Online). St. Jean de Brebeuf was known for his ability to speak many languages, which made him an excellent choice to be a missionary to New France or Canada.

He is the earliest writer who attempted to formulate a kinetic theory of gases, and he applied the idea to explain Boyle's law.[2]

George de Hevesy was born in Hungary to a rich Roman Catholic family of Jewish descent in August of 1885. He was the Fifth of eight siblings. He studied chemistry at the University of Budapest and Berlin Technical School before finally receiving his doctorate in physics at the University of Frieburg in 1908 at the age of 23. Always surrounded by famous chemists and physicists, he started his career as an assistant in the lab where Professor Fritz Haber was working on his synthesis of ammonia. He soon moved on to study with Ernest Rutherford in 1910, where he started the work that ultimately lead to his Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1943 and launched his career as a celebrated radiochemist.

    What I have learned about physics is that this subject is the study of the physical properties that surround us. Physics is how things move and what makes them move. For example, measurements such as velocity and acceleration and how they are used in physics is a major piece of the class. Also, physicists study the forces of gravity, electrical currents, and other numerous forces that hold everything together. Physics is also the study of very large things and very small things. Scientists study the stars, planets, and all other galaxies made up of matter. They also study the smaller pieces of matter such as atoms and electrons. During this year, I have learned the study of sound, light, and waves. We also studied the energy, heat, and radioactivity amongst objects. Physics not only helps us understand how objects move, but also how they change form, go from hot to cold, and what they are made of. One example of what we learned this year is the motion of an object. Motion can be portrayed as using displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time, and speed. We had focused on the lesson of Newton's first law: an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an outside force.

He proposed that under certain circumstances light could be considered a particles. He also hypothesized that the energy carried by a photon is depositional to the frequency of radiation. The formula E= HU proves this. Virtually no one accepted this theory but thought differently when Robert Andrews Millikan proved it.
