This major international history project succeeded because of the goodwill, commitment, and collaborative endeavor of a team of researchers drawn not only from different countries but also from different disciplines. Its immediate product is a recently published book, HISCO: Historical International Standard Classification of Occupations (van Leeuwen, Maas, and Miles 2002). The authors describe...

Conformal profiles in theHilhorst – van Leeuwen model

We study the critical energy and magnetization profiles for the Ising quantum chain with a marginal extended surface perturbation of the form A/y, y being the distance from the surface (Hilhorst-van Leeuwen model). For weak local couplings, A < Ac, the model displays a continuous surface transition with A-dependent exponents, whereas, for A > Ac, there is surface order at the bulk critical poin...

Van de Graaff Generator

In this work it was developed a Van de Graaff generator that we design and built and that is intended to be used in secondary schools for teaching basic principles of electrostatics, electromagnetic as well as a number of other applications. Today many schools laboratories and museums use this kind of generator for electrostatic demonstrations. Electrostatics was first noticed by the Greek phil...
