چکیده
In this paper we briefly describe the story of Solar Physics in Italy during one century and we try to evaluate its international impact. At the beginning, in the serendipitous phase, we have e relevant contribution of italian solar physicist like Secchi and Tacchini. The choice of the Abetti father and son to build in Arcetri a Solar Tower, under the technical supervision of George Ellery Hale, could have given to italian solar physics the trust to compete in the international arena. However the lack of necessary technology, the war, and the choice to use the tower for patrol of the solar chromosphere kept italian solar physics from developing at the level of its competitors at the end of the first half of the

Developmental psychopathology and public health: past, present, and future.
Children's healthy mental development has never been the focus of long-term, committed public health policy in the way that early physical health and development have been. We discuss four types of societal response to illness-cure, care, control, and prevention--and trace the history of public health in terms of its special responsibility to control and prevent disease. We identify four period...
متن کاملPrediction of solar ultraviolet intensity by using Fuzzy Logic in the north-west of Iran
Introduction: Solar energy is one of the free sources, clean and environmentally friendly energy. Sun is the most important source of natural ultraviolet radiation that has a major role in the life of living beings. Industrial and medical applications of ultraviolet radiation have been clearly proven, like the production of vitamin D or treatment of many diseases, and also har...

Introduction: Solar radiation has a major role in design, utilization, development, and planning of solar energy. The most important source of natural ultraviolet radiation is the sun, which has an important role in many biologic processes. Some of these processes are useful, like the production of vitamin D in the body, or curing rickets, and some of them are not, such as ski...
متن کاملPalynology of the Permian succession from the Ajabshir area (Azerbaijan, Central Iran): a preliminary report
Permian stratigraphic sequences are widely distributed throughout Iranian, making this one of the best locations in the world to study15 this geological time interval. Nevertheless, some units lack detailed biostratigraphic characterization which is essential for16 palaeogeographic reconstructions. This preliminary study comprises a palynological assessment of a Permian stratigraphi...
متن کاملTesting an astronomically-based decadal-scale empirical harmonic climate model versus the IPCC (2007) general circulation climate models
We compare the performance of a recently proposed empirical climate model based on astronomical harmonics against all CMIP3 available general circulation climate models (GCM) used by the IPCC (2007) to interpret the 20th century global surface temperature. The proposed astronomical empirical climate model assumes that the climate is resonating with, or synchronized to a set of natural harmonics...
