The legacy of Islamic world in modern medicine and science
The legacy of the Islamic world in medicine and natural science is the legacy of Greece, increased by many additions, mostly practical. Rhazes, the Iranian, was a talented clinical observer, but not a Harvey. Abd al-Latif, the Arab, was a diligent seeker in anatomy, but in no way to be compared to Vesalius. The Muslims possessed excellent translations of the works of the Hippocratic Corpus and ...

متن کاملApplications of Iceland spar prisms in research on alkaloids, glycosides and other compounds of pharmacological interest
From around 1810, rapid progress took place in physical optics largely due to the discovery of polarization of light by E.L. Malus. From then on, crystals of Iceland spar (and to some extent glass mirrors) were used in order to produce plane-polarized light. With these crystals one could also find the direction of oscillation of such light, i.e. its plane of polarization. J.B. Biot found in 181...
متن کاملNutrigenomics and its Applications in Animal Science
Nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. With the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. Nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...
متن کاملEarly Curricula in Computer Science at the University of Iceland
With the acquisition of the first computer in 1964 programming was introduced into the engineering curriculum at the University of Iceland. Subsequently applied mathematics curriculum was introduced in the Mathematics Department with some emphasis on computer science. In 1976 a separate computer science programme was offered that rather closely matched the ACM Curriculum 78.
