BT synes at have taget to niecer til sig, Elisabeth og Sophie T. Som ung blev Elisabeth T., som BT holdt “til Studeringer og gode Bøgers Læsning,” dødeligt syg. BT passede hende og lod hende underholde sig med at oversætte et kristent opbyggelsesskrift, skrevet på engelsk af T. Fuller.

Esta actividade remóntase ós tempos do Paleolítico, posto que xa naquela época os ancestros do home moderno explotaban minas de sílex, que usaban para a construcción de ferramentas. Máis tarde, as artes do lume, ou sexa, a olería e a metalurxia, conduciron á explotación mineira doutro tipo de xacementos, os de arxilas ou minerais metálicos. A minería coñecería un grande auxe na época do imperio romano, como se pode apreciar nas Medulas (León) ou en Almadén (Cidade Real), pero no aspecto científico, os mineraloxistas daquela época andaban algo despistados: era crenza estendida que se podía fabricar unha "pedra filosofal'' coa capacidade de transformar calquera materia en ouro. A mineraloxía científica non aparecería ata o século XVIII, aínda que ten notables precedentes no alemán Georg Bauer (1494-1555), que asinaba co seudónimo Agricola, e no dinamarqués Erasmus Bartholin (1625- 1689).

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF PADOVA AND ITS HISTORY 1. Faculties and degrees The University of Padova is a state university, as are most universities in Italy. There are almost 63.000 students on a total population of about 300.000 inhabitants. There is no campus system. Our relations with other academic institutions and research centres all over the world, from America to China and Australia, are extremely active through exchanges of students, teachers, information and publications. At present the University of Padova consists of thirteen schools: Agriculture, Economics, Law, Pharmacology, Engineering, Arts, Teacher Training, Medicine, Natural Sciences, Political Sciences, Psychology, Statistical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine. Beginning with the academic year 2001-2002 a new University Education System has been introduced in Italy, which include a first three year level (degree), a second two year level (specialized degree), specialization schools and three year research doctorates. The distinction of what in the past was a single five year degree level into the two level of three and two years is the most important news. Besides, according to the new system, the universities can offer courses of at least one year, outside the normal academic sequence, the so called

    Rasmus Bartholin (Latinized Erasmus Bartholinus ) was a Danish scientist and physician. As part of his studies, he travelled in Europe for ten years. Professor at Copenhagen University, first in Geometry, later in Medicine. He was a younger brother of Thomas Bartholin Rasmus Bartholin is remembered especially for his discovery (1669) of the double refraction of a light ray by Iceland spar ( calcite ). He published an accurate description of the phenomenon, but since the physical nature of light was poorly understood at the time, he was unable to explain it. Only after Thomas Young had proposed the wave theory of light, an explanation became possible.

    Sunlight and almost every other form of natural and artificial illumination produces light waves whose electric field vectors vibrate in all planes that are perpendicular with respect to the direction of propagation. If the electric field vectors are restricted to a single plane by filtration of the beam with specialized materials, then the light is referred to as plane or linearly polarized with respect to the direction of propagation, and all waves vibrating in a single plane are termed plane parallel or plane-polarized The polarizers illustrated in Figure 1 are actually filters containing long-chain polymer molecules that are oriented in a single direction. Only the incident light that is vibrating in the same plane as the oriented polymer molecules is absorbed, while light vibrating at right angles to the polymer plane is passed through the first polarizing filter. The polarizing direction of the first polarizer is oriented vertically to the incident beam so it will pass only the waves having vertical electric field vectors. The wave passing through the first polarizer is subsequently blocked by the second polarizer, because this polarizer is oriented horizontally with respect to the electric field vector in the light wave. The concept of using two polarizers oriented at right angles with respect to each other is commonly termed crossed polarization and is fundamental to the concept of polarized light microscopy.

The term "mineral" encompasses not only the material's chemical composition but also the Mineral structures . Minerals range in composition from elements and simple salts to very complex silicates (with most organic compounds usually excluded), with thousands of known forms. The study of minerals is called mineralogy.

An aqueous solution of carbon dioxide contains a minute amount of H CO , called carbonic acid, which dissociates to form hydrogen ions and carbonate ions. It would be a fairly strong acid if carbonic acid existed in pure form, but the equilibrium favors carbon dioxide and so such solutions are fairly weak. In biological systems the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes this interconversion between carbon dioxide and carbonate ions.

    • Harald Bohr Harald Bohr (22 April 1887 - 22 January 1951) was a Danish mathematician, and younger brother of the physicist Niels Bohr. Many friends remarked that the two men were unusually close, even for brothers. Early in the lives of the brothers, Harald was thought to be more likely to be successful. Harald Bohr worked in mathematical analysis, founding the field of almost periodic functions. He was also an excellent soccer player; he won an Olympic silver medal at the 1918 International Olympics with the Danish national soccer team.

    Polarization of Light
    Sunlight and almost every other form of natural and artificial illumination produces light waves whose electric field vectors vibrate in all planes that are perpendicular with respect to the direction of propagation. If the electric field vectors are restricted to a single plane by filtration of the beam with specialized materials, then the light is referred to as plane or linearly polarized with respect to the direction of propagation, and all waves vibrating in a single plane are termed plane parallel or plane-polarized Introduction to Polarized Light - The human eye lacks the ability to distinguish between randomly oriented and polarized light, and plane-polarized light can only be detected through an intensity or color effect, for example, by reduced glare when wearing polarized sun glasses. In effect, humans cannot differentiate between the high contrast real images observed in a polarized light microscope and identical images of the same specimens captured digitally (or on film), and then projected onto a screen with light that is not polarized. The first clues to the existence of polarized light surfaced around 1669 when Erasmus Bartholin discovered that crystals of the mineral Iceland spar (more commonly referred to as calcite ) produce a double image when objects are viewed through the crystals in transmitted light. During his experiments, Bartholin also observed a quite unusual phenomenon. When the calcite crystals are rotated about their axis, one of the images moves in a circle around the other, providing strong evidence that the crystals are somehow splitting the light into two different beams.
