The work is based on his Potential Theory."In it the present paper Gauss stated that the law of least constraint: the motion of a system departs a little as possible from free motion where departure or constraint is measured by the sum of products of masses times the squares of their deviations from the path of free motion. He presented it merely as a new formulation equivalent to the well-known principle of d'Alembert.

He later showed that it is an intermediate disintegration product."Because the sample thorianite was small Ramsay proposed that Hahn confirm Marie Curie's determination of the atomic weight of radium by preparing it in some organic compounds thereby greatly increasing the total amount being examined and calculating the atomic weight from the measured molecular weights. Chance sometimes favors the unprepared mind and Hahn who familiarized himself with only the basic of radioactivity followed the prescribed separationss technique and found himself the discovere of a new radioelement: radiothorium. The explanation was that the material given him came from an ore which contained a large percentage of thorium in addition to the radium. Thus upon completion of the chemical procedure not all the activity was confined in the radium-containg fraction; indeed the nes subsyance in the remainder was several hundred thousand times more active than thorium and ultimately yielded the characteristic one.minute halflife of thorium emanation."DSB VI p. 15. - Weeks Discovery of the Elementsp. 308 ff. </em> unknown

The principle was introduced "in order to obtain the necessary relation to the ordinary theory of radiation in the limit of slow vibrations we are therefore led directlyto certain conclusions about the probability of transition between two stationary states in this limit.".The "Principle of Correspondence" is the physical priciple that the behaviour of atomic and other systems should approximate to that predicted by classical physics in certain specific circumstances where quantum effects are expected to be unimportent. Bohr used the principle to explain his theory of the hydrogen atom which among other things successfully predicted many features of the spectrum of light emitted by energetic hydrogen atoms. The principle formed an importent component of the early quantum theory of Bohr Sommerfeld and others.Betty Schultz: 17. </em> hardcover

Wilson's paper: pp. 34-54 textillustrations showing apparatus and 5 photographic plates showing ionizing by Alpha- Beta- and Röntgen- radiation. <br/><br/><em>Together with the English version - published 1912 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society - this is Wilson's main paper relating "that the track of an ionizing particle might be made visible and photographed by condensing water of the ions which is liberated". The first trails were obtained in 1911 where he submitted a short note of this to the Proceedings. In the offered paper he published the first tracks made by the ionizing particles of alpha beta and Röntgen-rays. This Wilson Cloud-Chamber became an extremely valuable instrument of fundamental research the discovery of the positron in 1932 and the kaon in 1963 were made by using cloud chambers as detectors."But the whole course of the particle appears infinitely more clearly by the method invented by C.T.R. Wilson in 1911 and named after him. The radiation is allowed to enter an expansion-chamber containing a gas saturated with water vapour. A sudden expansion of the chamber cools the gas and cloud-drops are then formed instantly around the ions produced along the tracks of the particles. By suitable illumination these tracks can be made to stand out clearly as if they had been described by luminous projectiles. The "Altmeister" of modern nuclear physics Lord Rutherford once called the Wilson chamber "the most original and wonderful instrument in scientific history"."Thomson Rees Wilson 1869-1959 a Scottish physicist is credited with inventing the cloud chamber. Inspired by sightings of the Brocken spectre while working on the summit of Ben Nevis in 1894 he began to develop expansion chambers for studying cloud formation and optical phenomena in moist air. Very rapidly he discovered that ions could act as centers for water droplet formation in such chambers. He pursued the application of this discovery and perfected the first cloud chamber in 1911. In Wilson's original chamber the air inside the sealed device was saturated with water vapor then a diaphragm is used to expand the air inside the chamber adiabatic expansion. This cools the air and water vapor starts to condense. When an ionizing particle passes through the chamber water vapor condenses on the resulting ions and the trail of the particle is visible in the vapor cloud. Wilson along with Arthur Compton received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for his work on the cloud chamber. Wikipedia. </em> unknown

Inscribed on the front cover: "With the author's compliments to Prof. T. R. Hollcroft." This is the original 1935 publication -- NOT print on demand edition or modern reprint. Published by Nicola Zanichelli Editore Bologna 1935 Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa Serie II Vol. IV 1935 - XIII. Bound in the original wraps stamped in black. This volume was among several dozen books from Temple Rice Hollcroft's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. The American mathematician Temple Rice Hollcroft 1889 - 1967 received B.S. in 1912 and A.B. in 1914 from Hanover College and then A.M. in 1915 from the University of Kentucky. He received his Ph.D. in 1917 from Cornell University under Virgil Snyder. Hollcroft was a mathematics professor at Wells College from 1918 to 1954 from which he retired as professor emeritus. Hollcroft served for 14 years as Associate Secretary of the American Mathematical Society. In 1932 in Zurich he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematician ICM. His subject was THE GENERAL WEB OF SURFACES AND THE SPACE INVOLUTION DEFINED BY IT . Being invited to talk at the ICM has been called "the equivalent of induction to a hall of fame." - from Wikipedia.

Pauli's paper: pp.765-783. <br/><br/><em>First edition of the first announcement of Pauli's Exclusion Principle which gives a criterion for the electronic structure of atoms and explains the periodic table and the combining properties of the elements.Pauli first formulated his exclusion principle in this article in an attempt to explain the structure of the periodic table. By introducing an additional quantum number namely the spin of an electron to the already known three quantum numbers in Bohr's atom model and by postulating that no two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers Pauli could explain the number of electrons allowed in the outermost shell e.g. explaining the varying lengths of successive periods in the table. The exclusion principle turned out to be applicable to all fermions and thus plays a role in a variety of physical phenomena. For example it explains the formation of degenerate matter in white dwarfs and neutron stars. In 1945 Pauli received the Nobel Prize in physics "for the discovery of the Exclusion Principle also called the Pauli Principle".This volume also contains a paper by Heisenberg: 'Über eine Anwendung des Korrespondenzprinzips auf die Frage der Polarisation des Floureszenzlichtes' A. Einstein: "Bemerkung zu P. Jordans Abhandlung "Zur Theorie der Quantenstrahlung"and another paper by Pauli: 'Über den Einfluss der Geschwindigkeitsabhängigkeit der Elektronenmasse auf den Zeemaneffekt' Zeeman-Effect and the Dependence of Electron-Mass on the Velocity. </em> hardcover
