Abstract from Geochemical Perspectives: This article has three major components that include, in addition to the technical aspects, reminiscences of my academic upbringing, my move to the USA from India, and my professional career. I have recounted many stories that I hope convey some sense of time, especially in these two countries with vastly different cultures, my personal journey with its ups and downs and how I made the transition to an academic career path in USA even though that was not in my future plan as a young man. The development of the field of thermobarometry and its integration with diffusion and crystal kinetic modelling of compositional zoning (or lack thereof) and cation ordering in minerals have led to important quantitative constraints on the pressure-temperature-time evolution of terrestrial rocks and meteorites. I review the historical developments in these areas and a segment of my own research spanning the period of 1964-2021. The foundational works of the thermometry of metamorphic rocks and palaeothermometry were laid at the University of Chicago around 1950. Subsequently, the synergetic growth of thermodynamics and experimental studies in petrology in the 1960s and 1970s, along with the introduction of electron microprobe as a nondestructive analytical tool with micron scale resolution, gave a major boost to the field of thermobarometry. There were also significant new developments in the field of thermodynamics of solid solutions in the petrology community and demonstration from observational data, countering strong scepticism, that the principles of classical thermodynamics were applicable to complex natural systems. The section on thermodynamic basis of thermobarometry concludes with a discussion of the thermodynamics of trace element and single mineral thermometry. I further deal with the experimental protocols, along with selected examples, for phase equilibrium studies that provide the bedrock foundation for the field of thermobarometry based on elemental compositions of coexisting minerals in a rock. It is followed by an account of the controversies and international meetings relating to the aluminum silicate and peridotite phase diagrams that play crucial roles in the thermobarometry of metamorphic rocks and mantle xenoliths, respectively. The construction of quantitative petrogenetic grids to display stability relations of minerals in multicomponentmultiphase systems came into play in the field of metamorphic petrology in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. Augmented by experimental data, these petrogenetic grids led to important discoveries about the P-T-f(O2) and bulk compositional controls on the stability of certain index minerals that are used to define metamorphic isograds and different types of regional metamorphism; one such grid also opened up a new field that came to be known as ultra-high temperature metamorphism. The construction of petrogenetic grids has now evolved to computer based calculations of complex equilibrium P-T phase diagrams, commonly referred to as pseudosections, by minimisation of Gibbs free energy of a system with fixed bulk composition. I discuss these historical developments and modern advancements. Subsequently I highlight some aspects of thermobarometry and diffusion kinetic modelling of selected natural samples along with their broader implications and present a critical discussion of different protocols for thermobarometry of natural assemblages. Following up on the introductory historical perspective of development of palaeothermometry, I discuss the modern advancements using density functional theory (DFT). Examples of DFT based calculations have been shown for hydrogen isotope fractionation in mineral-water/hydrogen systems and clumped isotope thermometry. The hydrogen isotope fractionation data led the development of new low temperature palaeothermometers using serpentine-talc/brucite mineral pairs. These results enable simultaneous solutions of both temperature and source of fluid in the serpentinisation process of rocks. The final section is devoted to high temperature thermochronology dealing with the problems of closure temperature of decay systems in minerals and the use of bulk and spatial resetting of mineral age according to a specific decay system to determine cooling rates of the host rocks. Complications arise in the interpretation of mineral ages determined by such decay systems as 176Lu-176Hf or the short- lived system 53Mn-53Cr in which the parent nuclide has a much lower closure temperature than the corresponding daughter product. Numerical simulations help explain the discrepancy between the 176Lu-176Hf and 147Sm-143Nd ages of garnets in metamorphic rocks and enable construction of the entire T-t cycle from the discrepant ages and some additional constraints., European Association of Geochemistry, 2021, 4, [Amsterdam]:: Annals of Physics, 1961., 1961. 2 offprints.

Abstract: A K+ beam of 990-MeVc momentum was used to produce a K0 beam in charge-exchange collision with a copper target. By interposing an iron regenerator at a certain distance from the target and taking spark-chamber pictures of 2? decays behind the regenerator, we have observed the interference in the 2? decay mode between the KS state produced in the original charge exchange and the KS state (KLS) produced via regeneration. The difference in phase between these KS and KLS states depends upon the proper time elapsed between production and regeneration (because of the mass difference between KS and KL) and can therefore be changed at will by changing the corresponding distance. The shape of the curve with the observed minimum gives us the magnitude of the mass difference, and its sign as well if the phase of the regeneration amplitude is given. In a separate work we have determined that phase from scattering experiments with charged kaons on iron nuclei. Comparing that information with the present experiment, we obtain the following results: (1) The two-pion states into which KS and KLS decay are quantum-mechanically identical. Since |KL> and |KLS> interference has already been observed, we must then expect that the time dependence of the 2? decay of K0 will differ from that of K¯0 because of the |KS>-->|2?>, |KL>-->|2?> interference. (2) The sign of the mass difference is such that KL is heavier than KS with a level of confidence that, barring unknown systematic errors, appears to be beyond question. (3) The value of the mass difference obtained by us is 0.42+/-0.04 in units of ??S, where ?S is the KS mean life. (4) We have also observed the effect of the constructive interference between the scattered amplitude f11|KS> and the diffraction-regenerated amplitude f21|KS>.

Sheila Eaton Isham (born 1927) is an American printmaker, painter and book artist. Isham attended Bryn Mawr College, where she met her future husband Heyward Isham who was attending college at Yale University.[4] After graduating from Byrn Mawr, the couple married.[4] Isham studied at Akademie der Künste in West Berlin (now Academy of Arts, Berlin), between 1950 and 1954. In 2004, the State Russian Museum presented a 50-year retrospective of her work. Her work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This marks Isham's return to the American art scene, and illuminates the journeys and returns to her American roots from foreign encounters around the world. Thoroughly illustrated. PROVENANCE: Rowland Evans was a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. He left Yale and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 during World War II and was discharged in 1944 because of malaria. In 1963, Mr. Evans and Mr. Novak began writing ''Inside Report,'' an insider's view of politics that was published four times a week until Mr. Evans retired in 1993. Mr. Evans and Robert Novak began their work as columnists in the early 1960's, a time when newspaper columnists wielded outsize influence in national politics. The pair pioneered in transferring that influence to the medium of cable television with the political discussion program ''Evans & Novak'' -- carried on CNN from that cable network's beginning. Rowland Evans and his wife Kay (Katherine Winton Evans), also a respected writer and editor, were mainstays on the Washington social scene, hosting many memorable gatherings in their handsome Georgetown house -- to which flocked influential and remarkable people drawn from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Both Evans and Novak became more predictably conservative over the years, particularly during the Reagan years. Reportedly, both columnists voted for JFK in 1960 and for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Evans earned a place on Richard Nixon's infamous "Enemies List." Novak reported that Evans had JFK as a guest for the first dinner party the latter attended as President Elect. Kay and Rowland Evans has a particularly close friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, his wife Ethel and their family.; Signed by Artist; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item.

"The radiative scattering of a nonrelativistic electron is treated by an approximate method which neglects the reaction of the radiation field on the motion of the electron. In this approximation the different modes of oscillation of the radiation field are independent of one another, and can therefore be treated individually. For frequencies of the radiation small compared to the inverse impact time of the electron, it is shown that the probability of emitting any finite number of quanta is zero, and that the mean radiated energy depends only on the total change in velocity of the electron, the amount of energy radiated being given by the same formula as in classical theory." :: abstract.

Show me the money documents how the financial world has been imagined in art, illustration, photography and other visual media over the last three centuries in Britain and the United States. It tells the story of how artists have grappled with the increasingly intangible and self-referential nature of money, from the South Sea Bubble to our current crisis. Show me the money sets out the history and politics of representations of finance through five essays by academic experts and curators, and is interspersed with provocative think pieces by notable public commentators on finance and art. The book, and the exhibition on which it is based, explore a wide range of images, from satirical eighteenth-century prints by William Hogarth and James Gillray to works by celebrated contemporary artists such as Andreas Gursky and Molly Crabapple. It also charts the development of an array of financial visualisations, including stock tickers and charts, newspaper illustrations, bank adverts and electronic trading systems. -- ., 6<

Sheila Eaton Isham (born 1927) is an American printmaker, painter and book artist. Isham attended Bryn Mawr College, where she met her future husband Heyward Isham who was attending college at Yale University.[4] After graduating from Byrn Mawr, the couple married.[4] Isham studied at Akademie der Künste in West Berlin (now Academy of Arts, Berlin), between 1950 and 1954. In 2004, the State Russian Museum presented a 50-year retrospective of her work. Her work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This marks Isham's return to the American art scene, and illuminates the journeys and returns to her American roots from foreign encounters around the world. Thoroughly illustrated. PROVENANCE: Rowland Evans was a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. He left Yale and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 during World War II and was discharged in 1944 because of malaria. In 1963, Mr. Evans and Mr. Novak began writing ''Inside Report,'' an insider's view of politics that was published four times a week until Mr. Evans retired in 1993. Mr. Evans and Robert Novak began their work as columnists in the early 1960's, a time when newspaper columnists wielded outsize influence in national politics. The pair pioneered in transferring that influence to the medium of cable television with the political discussion program ''Evans & Novak'' -- carried on CNN from that cable network's beginning. Rowland Evans and his wife Kay (Katherine Winton Evans), also a respected writer and editor, were mainstays on the Washington social scene, hosting many memorable gatherings in their handsome Georgetown house -- to which flocked influential and remarkable people drawn from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Both Evans and Novak became more predictably conservative over the years, particularly during the Reagan years. Reportedly, both columnists voted for JFK in 1960 and for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Evans earned a place on Richard Nixon's infamous "Enemies List." Novak reported that Evans had JFK as a guest for the first dinner party the latter attended as President Elect. Kay and Rowland Evans has a particularly close friendship with Robert F.

For frequencies of the radiation small compared to the inverse impact time of the electron, it is shown that the probability of emitting any finite number of quanta is zero, and that the mean radiated energy depends only on the total change in velocity of the electron, the amount of energy radiated being given by the same formula as in classical theory." :: abstract.

Abstract from Geochemical Perspectives: This article has three major components that include, in addition to the technical aspects, reminiscences of my academic upbringing, my move to the USA from India, and my professional career. I have recounted many stories that I hope convey some sense of time, especially in these two countries with vastly different cultures, my personal journey with its ups and downs and how I made the transition to an academic career path in USA even though that was not in my future plan as a young man. The development of the field of thermobarometry and its integration with diffusion and crystal kinetic modelling of compositional zoning (or lack thereof) and cation ordering in minerals have led to important quantitative constraints on the pressure-temperature-time evolution of terrestrial rocks and meteorites. I review the historical developments in these areas and a segment of my own research spanning the period of 1964-2021. The foundational works of the thermometry of metamorphic rocks and palaeothermometry were laid at the University of Chicago around 1950. Subsequently, the synergetic growth of thermodynamics and experimental studies in petrology in the 1960s and 1970s, along with the introduction of electron microprobe as a nondestructive analytical tool with micron scale resolution, gave a major boost to the field of thermobarometry. There were also significant new developments in the field of thermodynamics of solid solutions in the petrology community and demonstration from observational data, countering strong scepticism, that the principles of classical thermodynamics were applicable to complex natural systems. The section on thermodynamic basis of thermobarometry concludes with a discussion of the thermodynamics of trace element and single mineral thermometry. I further deal with the experimental protocols, along with selected examples, for phase equilibrium studies that provide the bedrock foundation for the field of thermobarometry based on elemental compositions of coexisting minerals in a rock. It is followed by an account of the controversies and international meetings relating to the aluminum silicate and peridotite phase diagrams that play crucial roles in the thermobarometry of metamorphic rocks and mantle xenoliths, respectively. The construction of quantitative petrogenetic grids to display stability relations of minerals in multicomponentmultiphase systems came into play in the field of metamorphic petrology in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. Augmented by experimental data, these petrogenetic grids led to important discoveries about the P-T-f(O2) and bulk compositional controls on the stability of certain index minerals that are used to define metamorphic isograds and different types of regional metamorphism; one such grid also opened up a new field that came to be known as ultra-high temperature metamorphism. The construction of petrogenetic grids has now evolved to computer based calculations of complex equilibrium P-T phase diagrams, commonly referred to as pseudosections, by minimisation of Gibbs free energy of a system with fixed bulk composition. I discuss these historical developments and modern advancements. Subsequently I highlight some aspects of thermobarometry and diffusion kinetic modelling of selected natural samples along with their broader implications and present a critical discussion of different protocols for thermobarometry of natural assemblages. Following up on the introductory historical perspective of development of palaeothermometry, I discuss the modern advancements using density functional theory (DFT). Examples of DFT based calculations have been shown for hydrogen isotope fractionation in mineral-water/hydrogen systems and clumped isotope thermometry. The hydrogen isotope fractionation data led the development of new low temperature palaeothermometers using serpentine-talc/brucite mineral pairs. These results enable simultaneous solutions of both temperature and source of fluid in the serpentinisation process of rocks. The final section is devoted to high temperature thermochronology dealing with the problems of closure temperature of decay systems in minerals and the use of bulk and spatial resetting of mineral age according to a specific decay system to determine cooling rates of the host rocks. Complications arise in the interpretation of mineral ages determined by such decay systems as 176Lu-176Hf or the short- lived system 53Mn-53Cr in which the parent nuclide has a much lower closure temperature than the corresponding daughter product. Numerical simulations help explain the discrepancy between the 176Lu-176Hf and 147Sm-143Nd ages of garnets in metamorphic rocks and enable construction of the entire T-t cycle from the discrepant ages and some additional constraints., European Association of Geochemistry, 2021, 4, [Amsterdam]:: Annals of Physics, 1961., 1961. 2 offprints.

Abstract: A K+ beam of 990-MeVc momentum was used to produce a K0 beam in charge-exchange collision with a copper target. By interposing an iron regenerator at a certain distance from the target and taking spark-chamber pictures of 2? decays behind the regenerator, we have observed the interference in the 2? decay mode between the KS state produced in the original charge exchange and the KS state (KLS) produced via regeneration. The difference in phase between these KS and KLS states depends upon the proper time elapsed between production and regeneration (because of the mass difference between KS and KL) and can therefore be changed at will by changing the corresponding distance. The shape of the curve with the observed minimum gives us the magnitude of the mass difference, and its sign as well if the phase of the regeneration amplitude is given. In a separate work we have determined that phase from scattering experiments with charged kaons on iron nuclei. Comparing that information with the present experiment, we obtain the following results: (1) The two-pion states into which KS and KLS decay are quantum-mechanically identical. Since |KL> and |KLS> interference has already been observed, we must then expect that the time dependence of the 2? decay of K0 will differ from that of K¯0 because of the |KS>-->|2?>, |KL>-->|2?> interference. (2) The sign of the mass difference is such that KL is heavier than KS with a level of confidence that, barring unknown systematic errors, appears to be beyond question. (3) The value of the mass difference obtained by us is 0.42+/-0.04 in units of ??S, where ?S is the KS mean life. (4) We have also observed the effect of the constructive interference between the scattered amplitude f11|KS> and the diffraction-regenerated amplitude f21|KS>. This effect confirms that KL is heavier than KS." from; Physical Review, Vol. 172, No. 5, pp. 1613-1625, 25 August 1968. / BIOGRAPHY: Good worked at the Institute for Atomic Research and Department of Physics, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa.

Abstract from Geochemical Perspectives: This article has three major components that include, in addition to the technical aspects, reminiscences of my academic upbringing, my move to the USA from India, and my professional career. I have recounted many stories that I hope convey some sense of time, especially in these two countries with vastly different cultures, my personal journey with its ups and downs and how I made the transition to an academic career path in USA even though that was not in my future plan as a young man. The development of the field of thermobarometry and its integration with diffusion and crystal kinetic modelling of compositional zoning (or lack thereof) and cation ordering in minerals have led to important quantitative constraints on the pressure-temperature-time evolution of terrestrial rocks and meteorites. I review the historical developments in these areas and a segment of my own research spanning the period of 1964-2021. The foundational works of the thermometry of metamorphic rocks and palaeothermometry were laid at the University of Chicago around 1950. Subsequently, the synergetic growth of thermodynamics and experimental studies in petrology in the 1960s and 1970s, along with the introduction of electron microprobe as a nondestructive analytical tool with micron scale resolution, gave a major boost to the field of thermobarometry. There were also significant new developments in the field of thermodynamics of solid solutions in the petrology community and demonstration from observational data, countering strong scepticism, that the principles of classical thermodynamics were applicable to complex natural systems. The section on thermodynamic basis of thermobarometry concludes with a discussion of the thermodynamics of trace element and single mineral thermometry. I further deal with the experimental protocols, along with selected examples, for phase equilibrium studies that provide the bedrock foundation for the field of thermobarometry based on elemental compositions of coexisting minerals in a rock. It is followed by an account of the controversies and international meetings relating to the aluminum silicate and peridotite phase diagrams that play crucial roles in the thermobarometry of metamorphic rocks and mantle xenoliths, respectively. The construction of quantitative petrogenetic grids to display stability relations of minerals in multicomponentmultiphase systems came into play in the field of metamorphic petrology in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. Augmented by experimental data, these petrogenetic grids led to important discoveries about the P-T-f(O2) and bulk compositional controls on the stability of certain index minerals that are used to define metamorphic isograds and different types of regional metamorphism; one such grid also opened up a new field that came to be known as ultra-high temperature metamorphism. The construction of petrogenetic grids has now evolved to computer based calculations of complex equilibrium P-T phase diagrams, commonly referred to as pseudosections, by minimisation of Gibbs free energy of a system with fixed bulk composition. I discuss these historical developments and modern advancements. Subsequently I highlight some aspects of thermobarometry and diffusion kinetic modelling of selected natural samples along with their broader implications and present a critical discussion of different protocols for thermobarometry of natural assemblages. Following up on the introductory historical perspective of development of palaeothermometry, I discuss the modern advancements using density functional theory (DFT). Examples of DFT based calculations have been shown for hydrogen isotope fractionation in mineral-water/hydrogen systems and clumped isotope thermometry. The hydrogen isotope fractionation data led the development of new low temperature palaeothermometers using serpentine-talc/brucite mineral pairs. These results enable simultaneous solutions of both temperature and source of fluid in the serpentinisation process of rocks. The final section is devoted to high temperature thermochronology dealing with the problems of closure temperature of decay systems in minerals and the use of bulk and spatial resetting of mineral age according to a specific decay system to determine cooling rates of the host rocks. Complications arise in the interpretation of mineral ages determined by such decay systems as 176Lu-176Hf or the short- lived system 53Mn-53Cr in which the parent nuclide has a much lower closure temperature than the corresponding daughter product. Numerical simulations help explain the discrepancy between the 176Lu-176Hf and 147Sm-143Nd ages of garnets in metamorphic rocks and enable construction of the entire T-t cycle from the discrepant ages and some additional constraints., European Association of Geochemistry, 2021, 4, [Amsterdam]:: Annals of Physics, 1961., 1961. 2 offprints.

The extension to include the interaction with electrons is given in this paper. This approach leads to a formulation equivalent to the gauge-independent theory of Belinfante and Lomont. A complete discussion of the integrals of motion is given, including their connections with displacement operators. GOOD, R. H.; MEHLHOP, W. A. W.; MURTY, S. S.; BOWLES, P.; BURNETT, T.

Abstract: A K+ beam of 990-MeVc momentum was used to produce a K0 beam in charge-exchange collision with a copper target. By interposing an iron regenerator at a certain distance from the target and taking spark-chamber pictures of 2? decays behind the regenerator, we have observed the interference in the 2? decay mode between the KS state produced in the original charge exchange and the KS state (KLS) produced via regeneration. The difference in phase between these KS and KLS states depends upon the proper time elapsed between production and regeneration (because of the mass difference between KS and KL) and can therefore be changed at will by changing the corresponding distance. The shape of the curve with the observed minimum gives us the magnitude of the mass difference, and its sign as well if the phase of the regeneration amplitude is given. In a separate work we have determined that phase from scattering experiments with charged kaons on iron nuclei. Comparing that information with the present experiment, we obtain the following results: (1) The two-pion states into which KS and KLS decay are quantum-mechanically identical. Since |KL> and |KLS> interference has already been observed, we must then expect that the time dependence of the 2? decay of K0 will differ from that of K¯0 because of the |KS>-->|2?>, |KL>-->|2?> interference. (2) The sign of the mass difference is such that KL is heavier than KS with a level of confidence that, barring unknown systematic errors, appears to be beyond question. (3) The value of the mass difference obtained by us is 0.42+/-0.04 in units of ??S, where ?S is the KS mean life. (4) We have also observed the effect of the constructive interference between the scattered amplitude f11|KS> and the diffraction-regenerated amplitude f21|KS>. This effect confirms that KL is heavier than KS." from; Physical Review, Vol. 172, No. 5, pp. 1613-1625, 25 August 1968. / BIOGRAPHY: Good worked at the Institute for Atomic Research and Department of Physics, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa.

Here is the work of Harold Cohen - the renowned abstract painter who, at the height of a celebrated career in the late 1960's, abandoned the international scene of museums and galleries and sequestered himself with the most powerful computers he could get his hands on. What emerged from his long years of solitary struggle is an elaborate computer program that makes drawings autonomously, without human intervention - an electronic apprentice and alter ego called Aaron.NB in IT terms there is very little info about code, but then Pamela always was a computing groupie, W.H.

Sheila Eaton Isham (born 1927) is an American printmaker, painter and book artist. Isham attended Bryn Mawr College, where she met her future husband Heyward Isham who was attending college at Yale University.[4] After graduating from Byrn Mawr, the couple married.[4] Isham studied at Akademie der Künste in West Berlin (now Academy of Arts, Berlin), between 1950 and 1954. In 2004, the State Russian Museum presented a 50-year retrospective of her work. Her work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This marks Isham's return to the American art scene, and illuminates the journeys and returns to her American roots from foreign encounters around the world. Thoroughly illustrated. PROVENANCE: Rowland Evans was a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. He left Yale and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 during World War II and was discharged in 1944 because of malaria. In 1963, Mr. Evans and Mr. Novak began writing ''Inside Report,'' an insider's view of politics that was published four times a week until Mr. Evans retired in 1993. Mr. Evans and Robert Novak began their work as columnists in the early 1960's, a time when newspaper columnists wielded outsize influence in national politics. The pair pioneered in transferring that influence to the medium of cable television with the political discussion program ''Evans & Novak'' -- carried on CNN from that cable network's beginning. Rowland Evans and his wife Kay (Katherine Winton Evans), also a respected writer and editor, were mainstays on the Washington social scene, hosting many memorable gatherings in their handsome Georgetown house -- to which flocked influential and remarkable people drawn from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Both Evans and Novak became more predictably conservative over the years, particularly during the Reagan years. Reportedly, both columnists voted for JFK in 1960 and for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Evans earned a place on Richard Nixon's infamous "Enemies List." Novak reported that Evans had JFK as a guest for the first dinner party the latter attended as President Elect. Kay and Rowland Evans has a particularly close friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, his wife Ethel and their family.; Signed by Artist; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item.
