CircuitParts COMPONENT ORDERS e-Library TECHNICAL DATABASE THE HISTORY OF MRI This phenomenon was termed NMR as follows: "Nuclear" as only the nuclei of certain atoms reacted in that way; "Magnetic" as a magnetic field was required; "Resonance" because of the direct frequency dependence of the magnetic and radio frequency fields. With this discovery NMR spectroscopy was born and soon became an important analytical method in the study of the composition of chemical compounds. For this discovery Bloch and Purcell were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1952. Interestingly, Dr Isidor Rabi, an American physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1944 for his invention of the atomic and molecular beam magnetic resonance method of observing atomic spectra, came across the NMR experiment in the late 1930's but considered it to be an artifact of his apparatus and disregarded its importance.

George Gabriel Stokes Aug 13 1819 - Feb 1 1903 Born Sligo, Ireland. Died Cambridge, England. Welcome page The World Great Mathematicians Stokes established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity (1851), describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid. Stokes published papers on the motion of incompressible fluids in 1842-43 and on the friction of fluids in motion and the equilibrium and motion of elastic solids in 1845. In 1849 Stokes was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. In 1851 Stokes was elected to the Royal Society and was secretary of the Society from 1854 to 1884 when he was elected president. He investigated the wave theory of light, named and explained the phenomenon of fluorescence in 1852, and in 1854 theorised an explanation of the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum. He suggested these were caused by atoms in the outer layers of the Sun absorbing certain wavelengths. However when Kirchhoff later published this explanation Stokes disclaimed any prior discovery. Stokes developed mathematical techniques for application to physical problems, founded the science of geodesy, and greatly advanced the study of mathematical physics in England. His mathematical and physical papers were published in 5 volumes, the first 3 of which Stokes edited himself in 1880, 1883 and 1891. The last 2 were edited by Sir Joseph Larmor in 1887 and 1891.

72. Magnetic Dynamos With Dynamics This process was originally suggested by sir joseph larmor in 1919 and astrophysicistsand mathematicians have been investigating it ever since. http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/rcfta/anrep95/anrep95/node9.html

Next: Winds and radio stars Up: Research highlights Previous: Research highlights Magnetic dynamos with dynamics Numerical simulations by Dave Galloway and Olga Podvigina have shed new light on magnetic field generation in astrophysical plasmas, allaying fears that the proposed mechanism would saturate long before the field became as strong as is observed. All magnetic effects are produced by moving electrically charged particles (electric currents) and since almost all astrophysical objects consist of gases of electrically charged particles known as plasmas, almost all astrophysical objects are magnetized. For example the Sun is very strongly influenced by magnetic effects, as are most stars, and the more active planets such as Jupiter and Saturn, and even the Earth is magnetized though via a different process. In most astrophysical objects magnetic fields are thought to build up as a result of so-called ``dynamo action'' when the electrically conducting gases comprising the object move in concert and generate the field in a manner analogous to a dynamo in a power station generating electricity. This process was originally suggested by Sir Joseph Larmor in 1919 and astrophysicists and mathematicians have been investigating it ever since. There is no doubt that the mechanism works if the gas motions remain unhampered by the magnetic fields that they generate, which is the case if the magnetic fields remain weak. Most work has considered only this case but it has recently been suggested that when the back reaction of the field on the motion (via the so-called Lorentz force) is included this theory may have problems explaining the magnetic fields observed in the cosmos.

73. PSEWEB: Professor Peter Excell - Sir Edward Appleton Trust Cambridge at that time was an exciting place for physics in additionto Bragg, the staff included sir JJ Thomson and sir joseph larmor. http://www.inf.brad.ac.uk/~psexcell/personal/appleton.htm

SIR EDWARD VICTOR APPLETON Nobel Laureate Pioneer of Radio and Space Research INTRODUCTION Sir Edward Appleton, Nobel prizewinner, and widely recognized as the discoverer of the Ionosphere, was born in 1892 in the city of Bradford. Although he ceased full-time residence in Bradford at the age of 19, he maintained close links with the members of his family who remained there, and it was thus a significant influence in his life. Early years in Bradford While at this school, Appleton developed an interest in physics, spurred by the influence of a gifted and energetic physics master, J. A. Verity. Appleton developed a passion for physics, scoring 100% in his first school examination in the subject. Verity recog­nized his potential, to the extent that he was given a key to the laboratory and was permitted to attend some more advanced classes at the Bradford Technical College. It is noteworthy that his portrait photograph from that period was posed in the company of an optical bench. Cambridge and World War I Appleton went up to Cambridge (St John’s College) in 1911 and his undergraduate career appears to have been exemplary, resulting in a ‘double first’ (i.e. first-class honours in Part I of the Natural Science Tripos in 1913 and first-class honours again in Part II Physics papers in 1914). He seems to have spent the vacations back in Bradford, including further periods of work at the Technical College, probably because his home life at the time was clouded by the terminal illness of his first sister Isabel, who died at the end of 1911.

Chy¿y: Wiêkszo¶æ obserwowanych pól magnetycznych w obiektach astrofizycznych jest wytwarzana przez mechanizm dynama oparty o zasadê indukcji elektromagnetycznej. Jest to zjawisko zamiany energii mechanicznej (ruchu) na pr±d elektryczny w obecno¶ci pola magnetycznego, a poniewa¿ przep³yw pr±du generuje pole magnetyczne równie¿ ono jest efektem dzia³ania dynama. Idee dynama wprowadzi³ Micheal Faraday w IXX stuleciu. W oparciu o ni± sam skonstruowa³ pierwsze urz±dzenia generuj±ce pr±d. W dzisiejszym ¶wiecie korzystamy z nich na co dzieñ, od pr±dnicy w samochodzie po konwencjonalne elektrownie. Kosmiczne dynama ró¿ni± siê od tych implementowanych w ziemskich urz±dzeniach.

79. Boyle Medal Refs 1 28. sir joseph larmor (18571942) born in Belfast; educated Queens Belfast,worked in Queens College Galway before ending up in Cambridge. 29. http://www.iol.ie/~rjtechne/boyle/refs1.htm

Science and Politics in 20th Century Ireland The RDS Boyle Medal an an Indicator of Esteem Roy H W Johnston Notes and References The following notes have been put in primarily as an aid to those who are unfamiliar with the scientific background, and may want to know more about an unfamiliar name mentioned in the text. They do however sometimes refer to original source-documents; also in some cases they present an opportunity to expand on personal reminiscences. I have on occasion resorted to doing 'notes within notes', on the hypertext principle, as for example in the Bacon note. This seems to be necessary in areas where there is a substantial body of knowledge to be explored in depth by a motivated searcher. Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was born in Lismore; has been described as 'the father of Chemistry and the brother of the Earl of Cork'; educated at Eton; did the Grand Tour 1638-44 during which he took the opportunity to study the papers of Galileo, then recently deceased; with Hookes' vacuum pump demonstrated Galileo's conjecture that all objects fall at an equal rate in a vacuum; his book the Skeptical Chymist (1661) pioneered the scientific approach to chemistry, breaking from the alchemy of the ancients and medievals. Sir Francis Bacon (Lord Verulam, 1561-1626), generally considered in the West to be the father of the modern scientific method, but this view has been challenged by Needham (2.1) and others who have studied earlier Chinese and Islamic (2.2) scientific sources. The main contribution of Bacon in this context is in the development of the Royal Society model, for Scientific Academies (2.3) in the context of the main European States, and particularly in their imperial roles. This aspect of Bacon is treated positively in most histories of science, as a stepping-stone in the Enlightenment process; see for example P J Bowler (2.4). A more contemporary negative assessment however is given by Nandy (2.5) in a UNU evaluation of Indian science policy.
