First edition of Abakanowicz's famous integraph. It was invented independently about 1880 by the British physicist Sir Charles Vernon Boys and by Bruno Abakanowicz, however, the later being referred to as inventor (Goldstein, L'Europe mathématique: histoires, mythes, identities). ""The developments in the integraph design made by Abdank-Abakanowicz in France in the 1870s have been acknowledged as amongst the most noteworthy"" (Small, The Electronic Analogue Computer, P. 59).""The integraph is an elaboration and extension of the planimeter, an earlier, simpler instrument used to measure area. It is a mechanical instrument capable of deriving the integral curve corresponding to a given curve. Hence, it is able to solve elementary differential equations graphically. However, it was not until 1878 that he succeeded in developing a practical model. ""This volume is a description of the basic Abakanowicz instrument and a few of its later modifications. Abdank-Abakanowicz's instrument was able to produce solutions for only simpler differential equations, i.e., the commonly entountered class having the form dy/dx = F(x). An instrumental solution requires that as a first step a graph of the function F be drawn. Next, a pointer on the instrument is used to follow (trace) this graph. The value of the integral may then be read from the instrumentdials. This Abakanowicz approach was widely adopted in the early twentieth century, and the instrument was produced, and later improved, by such well-known instrument makers as Coradi in Zurich"" (The Erwin Tomash Library, Vol. 1, p. 2.).Bound with Abakanowicz's Integraph is:Répertoire Alphabétique des Procédés et Recettes publiés par Le Monde de la Science et de l'Industrie pendant les Années 1880 à 1886.

First edition, in the extremely rare offprint, of Adams and Day's landmark paper, in which they demonstrated that electricity could be produced from light without moving parts, eventually leading to the modern solar cell. It is here that Adams shows for the first time that the discovery of Willoughby Smith - that the conductivity of selenium is due only to the effect of light - is correct and furthermore that light has an effect on the resistance of selenium and that light generates electrical currents in selenium. Two years later Adams expanded the work and published 'Solar Heat'. Here he described his ""Power Tower Concept"", which to this day remains the basis of solar plants.William Grylls Adams (1836 - 1915), professor of Natural Philosophy at King's College, London, and brother of the famous astronomer John Couch Adams (1819-1892), was President of the Physical Society of London from 1878 to 1880. In 1872 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1875 delivered their Bakerian Lecture. He was president of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and of the mathematical and physical section of the British Association.His greatest achievement lies in demonstrating the seminal discovery that electricity could be produced from light without moving parts. The road to this discovery was begun in 1839 when Becquerel discovered that illumination of one of two metal plates in a dilute acid changed the electromotive force. Another French scientist, Auguste Mouchout, followed up on Becquerel's discovery, but it was not until 1876, when Adams and Richard Evans Day discovered that illuminating a junction between selenium and platinum has a photovoltaic effect, that the foundation for the documented use of solar thermal power was laid [with the publication of the present paper]. ""From a historical viewpoint, it is of interest to note that the first experiments on the generation of solar thermal power in India were conducted by an Englishman, William Adams, about one hundred years ago. Adams stayed in Coloba, Mumbai and performed his experiments in the compound of his bungalow. He used a sphecical reflector 12 m in diameter, made from sheets of glass mirror. The sun's rays were focussed on a boiler having a capacity of about 60 litres and the steam generated was used to drive a 2.5 HP steam pump. Adams's work is described in a book written by him entitled ""Solar Heat - A Substitute for Fuel in Tropical Countries for Heating Steam Boilers and Other Purposes"" (Education Society's Press, Byculla, Bombay, 1878)."" (Sukhatme & Neyak, ""Solar Energy. Principles of Thermal Collection and Storage"", p. 48)""William Grylls Adams was and English scientist who taught as a professor in the department of Natural Philosophy at King's College. He is notable for his contribution to the discovery of the photoelectric effect, on which all solar energy applications are based. He was inspired by Auguste Mouchout's invention of the solar steam engine. With the intent of making improvements to Mouchot's design, Adams began to experiment with different materials and designs. In 1876, working in conjunction with his student, Richard Day, he discovered that selenium produced electricity when exposed to sunlight. Using the selenium, he then added mirrors to the design to concentrate sunlight on the engine. This design came to be known as the power tower concept and is still in use today.""

Le terme "positivisme" repond traditionnellement a la definition suivante: un systeme philosophique qui recuse les a priori metaphysiques et voit dans l'observation des faits positifs et dans l'experience l'unique fondement de la connaissance. Mais cette definition est-elle suffisante? N'y a-t-il alors qu'un seul "positivisme", et s'agit-il d'un mode de pense revolu, sans influence sur notre temps, ou au contraire d'un ou de plusieurs modes de pensee qui gardent leur actualite? Les etudes rassemblees dans ce volume abordent differentes facettes, non plus du positivisme mais bien des positivismes. Traite par des philosophes, des historiens, des sociologues, ce theme s'epanouit en questions multiples. La pensee comtienne y est reexaminee sous l'angle du systeme philosophique proprement dit, de son actualite et de ses archaismes. L'on y examine les glissements de sens du mot positivisme, sa presence - parfois implicite - au sein de notre pensee actuelle, les differentes "ecoles positivistes", comme le positivisme logique, ou encore l'influence exercee par les positivismes sur d'autres disciplines, histoire, sociologie, sciences exactes...

El Grupo de investigacion de la Universidad de Valladolid Speculum medicinae, compuesto por una docena de filologos clasicos, en el que colaboran tambien un historiador de la medicina y una arabista, lleva trabajando muchos anos en la elaboracion del que se ha llamado Diccionario latino de andrologia y ginecologia (DILAG). En este momento se encuentra ya en fase de revision. El DILAG es un diccionario tecnico especializado que recoge, en las fuentes medicas mas significativas de la Antiguedad, la Edad Media y el Renacimiento, terminos medicos latinos encuadrados en las especialidades de la andrologia, la ginecologia y la embriologia. En la redaccion del DILAG sus colaboradores han encontrado diferentes aspectos de la medicina medieval dignos de estudio, que abarcan los campos de la anatomia, la fisiologia, la patologia y la terapeutica o problemas relacionados con ellos, como la sexualidad o la deformacion de terminos tecnicos mal interpretados. Con sus trabajos pretenden mostrar las multiples aplicaciones, tanto medicas como filologicas o historicas, que los estudiosos pueden llevar a cabo con el material de dicho diccionario y apreciar las posibilidades investigadoras que brinda. Algunas de estas aportaciones de caracter parcial se presentaron en el IVe Congres europeen d?etudes medievales, organizado por la FIDEM en Palermo el ano 2009, y otras han sido elaboradas expresamente para este libro. Ahora, gracias a la amable invitacion de la direccion de la FIDEM, se reunen en esta monografia, a modo de capitulos autonomos, los trabajos mencionados, con el fin de contribuir al conocimiento e investigacion de un tipo de lexico que cada vez atrae mas la atencion de los estudiosos.
