Introduction Gerolamo Cardano is the one that have the most colorful and striking personalities in the history of science , He was a very peculiar innovator. He invented the Cardan shaft, pillows to reduce allergic reactions (very new in those days) and the combination lock. And he is the best known for the contributions to mathematics, solving the mathematical fourth order equations problem so in 2000 he was found the company with the wish to innovate the financial world, based on the notion…

The Medici family, sometimes referred to as the House of Medici, rose to power by starting the Medici bank in Florence, 13th. Through that bank, they became one of the wealthiest families of the Renaissance era. The Medici family is well known for their support in architecture and arts. They would pay artists commissions in return for major works of art. The Medici family had a major influence on the arts of the Renaissance era as they used their wealth to help artists focus on their work…

Luis Miramontes was a famous Mexican chemist who invented birth control. He was born in March 16, 1925 at Tepic, Nayarit. His full name is Luis E. Miramontes Cardenas. At the National Autonomous University of Mexico, he received his first degree in chemical engineering. He was a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in the Institute of Chemistry. He also was the faculty of chemistry there. Not only that, but he was the director and professor at the Universidad…

involved a deflection of alpha particles through a thin sheet of gold. The deflection of the alpha particles occurred because the charged nucleus of the gold atoms changed the trajectory of the alpha particles. This observation was inconsistent with the current model of the atom however Rutherford received an Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his discovery of radioactive.In 1917, Rutherford was the first person to successfully split an atom using nitrogen and alpha particles. This reaction…

My research objective is to find the birth places of Ernest and Emma Kundig. My first step, I took was to visit Ancestry. I searched the 1920 United States Federal Census. I decided this must be my first step since it was the only source the client had about their ancestor. I discovered from this census that Ernest and Emma immigrated to the United States in 1893. Another piece of information, I learned from the census was the birthplace of Ernest and Emma. He was born in Switzerland…

It all started in the late 16th century. The Enlightenment “is” also “known” as “The Age Of Reason”. Numerous books, essays, inventions, scientific discoveries, laws, wars, and revolutions were produced. Rene` Descartes, John Locke, and Denis Diderot to name a few thinkers/ philosophers that were apart of the Enlightenment which was based of the ways that they vision how society was built on. The revolution of algebra and geometry was produced by Rene` Descartes. Being the youngest out of three…

According to Science Buddies Staffs, “Take a Musical Step Back in Time: Make Your Own Phonograph From Everyday Items,” in the year 1877, Thomas Edison successfully built the phonograph. The phonograph, back then consisted of turning a cylinder wrapped with paraffin paper or tinfoil, a needle, and horn. The use of a phonograph was to first connect the stylus(needle) to the paper or tinfoil, then yell into the horn while spinning the diaphragm, this results in indentions in the paper, after that…

Frank Donald Drake, born May 28, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois, was unlike most children. Drake and his friends would often find themselves experimenting with motors, radios and chemistry sets for multiple hours at a time. As Frank’s understanding of the universe grew, so did his curiosity of extra-terrestrial beings. After his graduation from Cornell University, Frank spent the next three years in the United States Navy, as the electronics officer so he could repay his scholarship.…

Middle range nursing theories cover larger populations in different settings than grand theories and contain a few concepts that are testable. Pender’s Health Promotion Model and Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory are both middle range nursing theories that have stood the tests of both time and trials. There are several similarities as well as differences. The following pages will compare and contrast these theories while illustrating that both are middle range nursing theories. Nola Pender developed the…

When looking at something that is very large, such as the universe, a militaristic entity, or a massive political conflict, it can be hard to make any sense out of the sheer multitude of sensory experiences. Looking at something small, in contrast, is simple and easy to understand. Therefore, a useful way in understanding the whole would be to look at individual parts, and eventually the sum of the parts will lead to a conception of the entire entity. Richard Feynman’s The Character of Physical…
