Declining Mortality Among British Scientists During the Age of Enlightenment

Traditional perspectives on economic growth and development usually interpret the process of mortality decline as a product of technological change. Preston (1975) famously reported that 75–90 percent of the increases in world life expectancy during the first half of the twentieth century were attributable to technological change. Historical work on the course of modern development and the demo...

J. E. Shaw

1866 he used to get up every morning at six in order to get from Bath to his classes in Bristol punctually. In 1869 he went to Edinburgh to complete his course, and qualified there in 1872. He was House Physician at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, a Fellow of the Edinburgh Botanical Society and President of the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh. In 1875 he returned to Clifton and two years late...

Microblogging Practices of Scientists in E-Learning: A Qualitative Approach

Microblogging services, in particular Twitter, have experienced an explosive uptake in the last few years with a decelerated grown rate since 2010. Apart from celebrities, PR and news agencies, the bulk of user profiles stems form private individuals. Amongst them, individual scientists have started to make use of Twitter for professional purposes. This paper presents a qualitative approach of ...

The e + e − → J/ψD ¯D, J/ψD ¯D ∗ reactions with dynamically generated resonances

In two recent reactions by Belle producing DD̄ and DD̄∗ meson pairs, peaks above threshold have been measured in the differential cross sections, possibly indicating new resonances in these channels. We want to study such reactions from the point of view that the D meson pairs are produced from already known or predicted resonances below threshold. Our study shows that the peak in the DD̄∗ product...
