‎First printing of Shannon's important 1959-paper in which he showed that an optimal code is built by uniformly placing codewords on an n-dimensional sphere. An upper and a lower bound for the word error rate performance Pew of such a spherical code have been established by Shannon on anAWGN channel for finite n.""A study is made of coding and decoding systems for a continous channel with an additive gaussian noise and subject to an average power limitation at the transmitter. Upper and lower bounds are found for the error probability in decoding with optimal codes and decoding systems. These bounds are close together for signaling rates near channel capacity and also for signaling rates near zero, but diverge in between. Curves exhibiting these bounds are given.""

‎First printing of Shannon's paper on lower bounds to error probability. This was his ""final effort to establish tight upper and lower bounds on error probability for the DMC. Earlier, Robert Fano [22] had discovered, but not completely proved, the sphere-packing lower bound on error probability. In [20], [21], the sphere-packing bound was proven rigorously, and another lower bound on error probability was established which was stronger at low data rates. The proof of the sphere-packing bound given here was quite complicated"" it was later proven in a simpler way."" (Gallager, Claude E. Shannon: A Retrospective on His Life, Work, and Impact, 2001, Pp. 2691-2).""Claude E. Shannon invented information theory and provided the concepts, insights, and mathematical formulations that now form the basis for modern communication technology. In a surprisingly large number of ways, he enabled the information age.""(Ibid.).The issue contain the following papers:Gold, E.

‎First printing of the paper in which Zsigmondy describes his invention of the Ultramicroscope, by which is became possible to see the Brownian movements of molecules. His microscope is still of great importence in colloid studies, but in most fields where great magnification is required, it has been outdistanced by the electron microscope.""Zsigmondy was a figure of paramount importance on colloid chemistry during the first quarter of the twentieth century. His receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1925, for invention of the ultramicroscope and his work on colloids was the first time this fledgling science had been so honored. In 1926 work by J. B. Perrin and Theodor Svedberg that followed directly from Zsigmondy’s achievement was recognized by the Nobel Prizes in physics and in chemistry, respectively. No Nobel Prize since then has been awarded for work solely in colloid chemistry. (DSB).The offered issue contains another importent paper by MAX ABRAHAM ""Prinzipien der Dynamik des Elektrons. Pp. 105-179. In 1902 Abraham said ""It now becomes necessary to base the dynamics of the electrons from the outset on electromagnetic considerations"" In 1903 (the paper offered) he published his main detailed article on the rigid electron""(Pais in Subtle is the ord"" pp. 157 ff.""The ultramicroscope is form of microscope that reveals the presence of particles that cannot be seen with a normal optical microscope. Colloidal particles, smoke particles, etc., are suspended in a liquid or gas in a cell with a black background and illuminated by an intense cone of light that enters the cell from the side and has its apex in the field of view. The particles then produce diffraction-ring systems, appearing as bright specks on the dark background.‎

‎VOLLSTANDIGER UNTERRICHT IN DEN WISSENSCHAFTEN EINES STALLMEISTERS.‎

‎ den Johann Christian Dieterich, Goettingen und Gotha, 1770. In-folio, p. pelle coeva (restaur.), dorso a cordoni con fregi e titolo oro su tassello, pp.num. (18),324, 2 cc.nn. (Indice ed Errata); testo su due colonne; con una bellissima antiporta ambientata (a doppia pag.) in cui è presentato il ritratto equestre dell'A. con, alle sue spalle, lo scheletro di un cavallo alla mangiatoia; deliziosa vignetta al frontesp. e vignetta alle armi con il ritratto dell'Arcivescovo Maximilian Friederich, alla dedica. Il volume è molto ben illustrato da 15 tavole fuori testo, inc. in rame (a p. pag. o ripieg.) che raffigurano diversi tipi di cavalli, scene di allevamento e di maneggio come pure bardature e strumenti chirurgici. "Edizione originale" di questa classica opera, "enseignement complet des connaissances d'un écuyer". I suoi principi di addestramento si avvicinano molto a quelli di La Guérinière e, come la maggior parte dei suoi contemporanei, tratta delle malattie e cure dei cavalli.Cfr. Mennessier,II, p. 513-15: "J.B. Baron de Sind, écuyer allemand, né en Moravie vers 1709, mort en 1776. Il servit pendant quelque temps dans les armées autrichiennes, puis devint premier écuyer de l'Electeur de Cologne, prince éveque de Muenster. Il était à la fois écuyer et vétérinaire et avait inventé un électuaire contre la morve" - Wells,7004.Restauro alla dedica, altrimenti esemplare ben conservato, con bell'ex libris nobiliare inciso.‎
