In-16 gr. (mm. 190x123), brossura azzurrina muta, custodia in cartonato moderno, pp. 8 con 3 tavole inc. in rame fuori testo, più volte ripieg., che illustrano la macchina aerostatica in tutte le sue parti. All’occhietto “Descrizione della nuova macchina aerostatica”. "Rara edizione originale" di questa plaquette scritta da Zambeccari, in cui descrive l’aerostato usato il 21 settembre 1812. Cfr. Brockett, 13146. “Tra i personaggi più interessanti, ai primi dell’Ottocento troviamo il conte bolognese Francesco Zambeccari (1752-1812), che compì numerosi voli in Italia e all’estero utilizzando anche un aerostato a doppia camera con la parte superiore gonfiata di idrogeno e la parte inferiore funzionante come mongolfiera grazie a un fornello a spirito. Zambeccari fu anche un ingegnoso inventore. Realizzò alcuni strumenti di misura, come un dinamometro che gli serviva per misurare la tensione delle corde; la “stadera anemometrica”, che valutava l’intensità delle correnti atmosferiche e il cavo stabilizzatore d’aerostato, il “guide rope”, che sarebbe stato poi usato da tanti aeronauti, tra cui Andrée e Nobile. Zambeccari progettò anche il pallone con il quale Lunardi compì le prime ascensioni sul suolo inglese. Il primo volo del conte bolognese ebbe luogo a Londra il 22 marzo 1785. L’impresa più epica di Zambeccari fu il volo del 7-8 ottobre 1803. Insieme con due compagni, tra i quali il suo allievo Pasquale Andreoli, Zambeccari decollò da Bologna a notte fonda a bordo di un’aero-mongolfiera.. Egli continuò nelle sue esperienze aerostatiche fino al fatale tentativo del 21 settembre 1812. Nonostante la pericolosità intrinseca dei palloni misti a idrogeno e aria calda, fu accertato che l’incidente che costò la vita a Zambeccari, non fu causato dall’incendio del gas infiammabile, ma dal rovesciamento dello spirito del fornello, che procurò ustioni letali allo sfortunato aeronauta. A prova di ciò sta il fatto che l’involucro a idrogeno del pallone dell’aeronauta bolognese venne recuperato intatto e successivamente riutilizzato da alcuni suoi allievi”, così Majrani M., Aerostati, p. 98.

First and only edition, 4to (250 x 200 mm), xi, [2], xiii-xiv, [2], 12-97, [1]pp., (pp. xiv-xv misnumbered xiii-xiv), 7 engraved folding plates, occasional foxing or light browning, offsetting, plate 3 repaired at head (not affecting image), recent green cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Here Randall is continuing the Tullian debate. He highlights the advantages of the Tullian system, especially when carried out with the aid of the 'ingenious' implements he has designed. His seed-furrow plough, along the lines of Tull's drill, was criticised as being too complicated and his system of husbandry was described by a fellow agricultural writer John Wynne Baker as 'founded on the labours of others'.

The term "ASCI academic strategic alliances program" has evolved into to the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program PSAAP. The earlier ASCI Academic Strategic Alliance Program ASAP was a U.S. Department of Energy initiative to advance computational modeling and simulation through academic partnerships. In response to the FY1994 National Defense Authorization Act establishing the Stockpile Stewardship Program the U.S. Department of Energy DOE has taken a different approach to its responsibility to ensure confidence in the safety performance and reliability of our nuclear stockpile. Without nuclear testing as the final arbiter of scientific judgment weapons scientists must rely much more heavily on computers to simulate the aging process and its impact on our weapon systems along with the impact of any required modifications. DOE's Stockpile Stewardship Program was established to develop new means of assessing the performance of nuclear weapon systems predict their safety and reliability and certify their functionality. The program not only must fulfill its responsibilities without nuclear testing but also must deal with constraints on nonnuclear testing the downsizing of production capability and the cessation of developing new weapon systems to replace existing weapons. Weapon components are exceeding their design lifetimes and manufacturing issues and environmental concerns will force changes in fabrication processes and materials of weapon components. As a result the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative ASCI Program was established to be the focus of DOE's simulation and modeling efforts aimed at providing high-fidelity computer simulations of weapon systems that will enable scientists to continue to make the necessary judgments to maintain the credibility of the nuclear deterrent. This initiative will help define the right configuration of production and testing facilities necessary for managing the stockpile throughout the next several decades.

Dr. Shewhart kept this viewpoint throughout his lectures.

"James Black of Morden, Surrey, attempt to define the mechanical principles that govern the work of the plough... [it] condemns wheels and says that if the proper angles are maintained between the line of draught and the point of entry into earth, the plough will practically guide itself. 'A plough is a moving wedge to divide and overturn; it should therefore be constructed according to the lines of moving bodies... These according to Sir Isaac Newton' are set out and proposed to be followed in the design of the instrument."?Fussell.
