In applying mathematics to physics, Poisson stated, it was necessary at first to employ abstraction and ""in this regard, Lagrange has gone as far as possible in replacing physical ties by equations between coordinates."" Now, however, ""along with this admirable conception,"" it is necessary to ""construct physical mechanics, the principle of which is to reduce everything to molecular actions."" In other words, the death of Laplace the previous year enabled Poisson to move boldly ahead with his long range plans and to present himself as Laplace’s successor.""(DSB)The issue offered contains notable papers by Berzelius, Gay-Lussac and others.‎

‎First appearance of Poisson's importent paper on the mathematical treatment of ""specific heats"".""In ""Sur la chaleur des gaz et des vapeurs,"" published in August 1823 in Annales de chimie et de physique, Poisson developed ideas published four months before by Laplace in Book XII of Mécanique céleste. Poisson introduced all the precautions needed to render the confused notion of quantity of heat susceptible to mathematical analysis. He called quantity of heat the magnitude that characterizes the transition of a given mass of gas from an arbitrary initial state of temperature and pressure to another state. This definition makes more abstract the quantitative aspect that naturally follows from the concept of heat as a caloric fluid. Poisson could thus deal comfortably with this magnitude, since for him it is simply a function q of p, p, and ø (pressure, density, and temperature). The equation of state p= ap(1+aø) was already classic, and the growing acceptance of the notions of specific heats, at constant pressure and constant volume, allowed him to write the simple partial differential equation of which should be the integral. He also showed that independently of any additional hypothesis, and whatever the arbitray function used in the integration, the adiabatic transformations (the term did not yet exist) correspond to the formulas p · py = constant and (?+266.67)·p1y= constant, y being the ratio of the specific heats, assumed constant.""(DSB).‎

‎""Beginning in 1824 Poncelet had essentially shifted his attention from geometry to applied mechanics. Although he had previously studied certain machines and ways of improving them, it was during the summer of 1824 that he achieved his first important innovation: the design and realization of an undershot waterwheel with curved paddles, which possessed a much increased efficiency. The paper he wrote on this subject gained him a prize in mechanics from the Académie des Sciences in 1825. After new trials conducted on full-scale models, he presented a revised version of his study in 1827. Yet, most of his activity at this period was devoted to elaborating and continually updating the course in mechanics applied to machines that he gave from 1825 to 1834."" (DSB).‎

‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Poncelet's work is in two radically different areas corresponding to different stages in his career : analytical geometry and applied mechanics. At the Polytechnique he studied under Monge, Lacroix, Poinsot, Ampère, and Hachette, and was admitted to the corps of military engineers in 1810. In 1812 he graduated from the Ecole d'Application de l'Artillerie et du Génie at Metz. At Arago's insistence, Poncelet became professor of mechanics applied to machines at the same school, a change which fired his interest in applied mechanics. In 1834 new duties as scientific rapporteur for the Committee of Fortifications, as editor of the Memorial de l'officier du génie and election to the mechanics section of the Académie des Sciences led him to leave his native Metz for Paris. There he taught from 1848 to 1850 as a member of the faculty of the Ecole Polytechnique. The Expérience, a continuation of those undertaken by Bossut and Du Buat at Mézières, were conducted from November of 1827 through 1828". (Bibliotheca Mechanica p. 264)**4273/ARM3‎

Magnetic wire recording, and its successor, magnetic tape recording, involve the use of a magnetizable medium which moves past a recording head. An electrical signal, which is analogous to the sound that is to be recorded, is fed to the recording head, inducing a pattern of magnetization similar to the signal. A playback head (which may be the same as the recording head) can then pick up the changes in the magnetic field from the tape and convert them into an electrical signal.""(Wikepedia).The issue contains further Max Planck's paper ""Kritik zweier Sätze des Hrn.

‎Gravitational Red-Shift in Nuclear Resonance. - [THE POUND-REBKA EXPERIMENT - THE TEST THAT PROVED TIME IS RELATIVE]‎

‎(New York), American physical Society, 1959. Lex8vo. Volume 3, No. 9, November 1, 1959 of ""Physical Review Letters"", In the original printed blue wrappers. A very nice and clean copy externally as well as internally, near mint. Pp. 439-441. [Entire issue: 411-457].‎

‎First publication of the Pound-Rebka experiment which is regarded as being the last of the classical test of general relativity proposed by Albert Einstein to be verified. It is a test of the general relativity prediction that clocks should run at different rates at different places in a gravitational field and is considered to be the experiment that ushered in an era of precision test of general relativity. Today the so called gravitational redshift is essential for understanding the cosmos and operating the Global Positioning System (GPS).""Before he worked out the general theory of relativity, Einstein had already deduced that gravity must affect a light wave's frequency and wavelength. Light moving upwards from Earth's surface, for example, shifts to longer wavelength and lower frequency, as gravity saps it of some energy. But the effect is tiny in earth's modest gravity. In 1959 Robert Pound and Glen Rebka of Harvard University finally succeed in testing this crucial prediction, and they reported their results in [The present paper]."" (Physical Review Focus, 12 July 2005). Although the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not designed as a test of physics, it must account for the gravitational redshift in its timing system. When the first satellite was launched, some engineers neglected to predict that a noticeable gravitational time discrepancy would occur. So the first satellite was launched without the clock adjustment that was later built into satellites. It had a predicted time difference of 38 microseconds per day which, if not accounted for, could lead to hours of discrepancy. ‎
