چکیده
Gustav Jacob Born was an experimental embryologist whose original work with amphibians [5] served as the platform for his wax-plate method [6] of embryo modeling, heteroblastic (different tissues) and xenoplastic (similar species) transplantation methods, environmental influences on sex ratio studies, and proposed function of the corpus luteum [7]. He was born 22 April 1851 in Kempen, Prussia, but his family moved to the larger city of Görlitz within a year after Born?s birth. His father was Marcus Born, a physician and public health officer who practiced in the town of Görlitz. Born began his formal education at the Gymnasium in Görlitz and later attended the universities of Breslau, Bonn, Strassburg, and Berlin. During the FrancoPrussian War (1870?1871), Born enlisted and served as an orderly and physician?s assistant. He returned to the University of Breslau [8] at war?s end and graduated with a MD in 1874. In 1877 Born became a Privatdozent at the University of Breslau [8]. In 1886 he was made assistant professor and in 1898 he became professor of histology [9] and comparative anatomy. During his tenure at Breslau, Born worked with Karl Hasse [10] and reported being under constant scrutiny by Hasse who held widely known anti-semitic views.

Chapter 6 Lagrangian Dynamics
Following the remarkable impact of Newton’s Principia in the late 17th century, classical mechanics was reinvented in the 18th century by Leonhard Euler (17071783) and Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) in terms of variational principles. Their ideas were further refined in the early 19th century by Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi (1804-1851) and William Rowan Hamilton (1805-1865). According to the var...
متن کاملRedefinition of Acanthosoma and taxonomic corrections to its included species (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Acanthosomatidae).
The genus level diagnostic characters of Acanthosoma Curtis, 1824, Anaxandra Stål, 1876, and Sastragala Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Acanthosomatidae) are discussed. The synonymy of Acanthosoma and Anaxandra proposed by Kumar (1974) is supported. Acanthosoma and Sastragala are redefined and recognized as valid genera. The identities of various species of Acanthosoma are clari...
متن کاملGlobal Integrability of the Jacobian of a Composite Mapping
Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi (1804–1851), one of the nineteenth century Germany’s most accomplished scientists, developed the theory of determinants and transformations into a powerful tool for evaluating multiple integrals and solving differential equations. Since then, the Jacobian (determinant) has played a critical role in multidimensional analysis and related fields, including nonlinear elasti...

متن کاملImpacts of tropical cyclones on U.S. forest tree mortality and carbon flux from 1851 to 2000.
Tropical cyclones cause extensive tree mortality and damage to forested ecosystems. A number of patterns in tropical cyclone frequency and intensity have been identified. There exist, however, few studies on the dynamic impacts of historical tropical cyclones at a continental scale. Here, we synthesized field measurements, satellite image analyses, and empirical models to evaluate forest and ca...
