Fermi, Zur Quantelung des idealen einatomigen Gases, from «Zeitschrift für Physik», vol. 36, no. 11-12, 1926, pp. 902-912 -- Acknowledgments -- The Authors.Enrico Fermi, Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1938, taught at the University of Florence just for two academic years (1924-25 and 1925-26). His research activity in these two years saw the publication of the statistics bearing his name (the two original 1926 papers by E. Fermi are reproduced in full in this book), which is at the basis of semiconductors, and hence of modern electronics. This volume is printed for the placement, at the School of Engineering in Florence, of an IEEE Milestone, within the 'IEEE Global History Network program', commemorating the event. The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) is the largest professional association in the world devoted to advancing technological innovation in electrical, electronic engineering, and related fields.SemiconductorsStatistical methodsGas dynamicsMathematical modelsSemiconductorsStatistical methods.Gas dynamicsMathematical models.537.6225Manes GianfrancoPelosi GiuseppeNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910571762703321Enrico Fermi's IEEE milestone in Florence2947398UNINA03478nam 2200637Ia 450 991077819690332120230207230344.00-674-26641-20-674-04194-110.4159/9780674041943(CKB)1000000000786732(DLC)00038277(StDuBDS)AH23050832(SSID)ssj0000102622(PQKBManifestationID)11125000(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000102622(PQKBWorkID)10060695(PQKB)10552823(Au-PeEL)EBL3300338(CaPaEBR)ebr10315843(OCoLC)923110706(DE-B1597)574570(DE-B1597)9780674041943(MiAaPQ)EBC3300338(EXLCZ)99100000000078673220000403d2000 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrAmerica's struggle against poverty in the twentieth century[electronic resource] /James T.

He explores a range of issues arising from the economic phenomenon--increasing inequality and demands for use of an improved poverty definition. He focuses the story on the impact of the highly controversial welfare reform of 1996, passed by a Republican Congress and signed by a Democratic President Clinton, despite the laments of anguished liberals.Public welfareUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPovertyGovernment policyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesSocial policyUnited StatesEconomic conditionsPublic welfareHistoryPovertyGovernment policyHistory361.610973Patterson James T216154Patterson James T216154MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778196903321America's struggle against poverty in the twentieth century3687840UNINA
