Sommario/riassunto |
|
L'Inghilterra della fine del XIX secolo assistette all'emergere di un movimento rumoroso e ben organizzato contro l'uso di animali vivi nella ricerca scientifica, una protesta che minacciava l'esistenza della medicina sperimentale. Richard D. French vede il movimento vittoriano antivivisezione come un caso di studio rivelatore nell'atteggiamento della società moderna nei confronti della scienza. L'autore si basa su opuscoli popolari e resoconti di giornali per ricreare la struttura, la tattica, l'ideologia e le personalità del primo movimento antivivisezione. Sostiene che al centro del movimento antivivisezione c'era la preoccupazione pubblica per l'emergere della scienza e della medicina come istituzioni leader della società vittoriana. Oltre a fornire una storia sociale e culturale del movimento vittoriano antivivisezione, il libro fa luce su molte aree correlate, tra cui la storia politica e amministrativa vittoriana, la sociologia politica delle comunità scientifiche, la riforma sociale e le associazioni volontarie, la psicoanalisi degli atteggiamenti umani verso animali e femminismo vittoriano. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
A periodic surface is an assembly of identical elements arranged in a one or two-dimensional array. Such surfaces have various effects on incident electromagnetic waves. Their applications range from antennas to stealth aircraft. This book discusses finite antenna arrays and how to minimize the radar cross section of these arrays. "Ben has been the world-wide guru of this technology...Ben Munk has written a book that represents the epitomy of practical understanding." W. Bahret, United States Air Force Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) have important military and civilian applications including antenna theory, satellite communications and stealth technology Author is an authority on the subject, having been instrumental in the development of stealth technology for the US Air Force Much of the material in this book was deemed classified due to its importance to defense. |
