Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
Carl Prantl and the history of the logic of scientific research
No full textA causa de su monumental Geschichte der Logik im Abendlande (Historia de la lógica en Occidente), Carl Prantl (1820-1888) alcanzó rápidamente reconocimiento internacional como historiador de la lógica. No obstante, esta obra no fue el único resultado en su tan prolífica actividad como investigador, docente y organizador de la ciencia. Prantl produjo una variedad de obras en lógica filosófica, historia, filosofía e historia de la filosofía. Además, fue un traductor sobresaliente de obras clásicas. En algunas de estas obras, abordó temas actuales de la filosofía de la ciencia y de su historia. En este sentido resulta especialmente notable su conferencia ofrecida ante la Academia Bávara de las Ciencias bajo el título “Galileo y Kepler como lógicos”, en la cual analizaba los conceptos epistemológicos más importantes subyacentes a la física de Galileo y la astronomía de Kepler. El objetivo principal de esta introducción es hacer accesible al lector de lengua española este texto mediante una traducción anotada, incluyendo una introducción a la vida y obra de Prantl. Así, su valioso trabajo de investigación puede ser apreciado en toda su dimensión. Con el fin de que el texto de Prantl resulte útil para la investigación actual, hemos puesto al día la información acerca de Galileo y Kepler. Finalmente, el lector apreciará la significación que tuvo el enfoque de Prantl para el futuro, es decir, para los estudios actuales de historia y filosofía de la ciencia.Due mainly to his monumental Geschichte der Logik im Abendlande (History of logic in the West) Carl Prantl (1820-1888) was rapidly acknowledged internationally as a historian of logic. This work, however, was by no means the only result of his extremely prolific research, teaching and activity in scientific organization. Prantl produced a variety of works in the field of philosophical logic, history, philosophy, and history of philosophy. Furthermore, he was an outstanding translator of classical works. In some of these works he pursued themes found in contemporary philosophy of science and its history. Especially noteworthy in this respect is his lecture to the Bavarian Academy of Science entitled “Galileo and Kepler as logicians”, in which he briefly, but with genuine philosophical insight, analyzed the main epistemological notions operating in Galileo’s physics and Kepler’s astronomy. The main aim of this article is to make available to the Spanish reader an annotated translation of this text, and an introduction on Prantl’s work and life, so that Prantl’s valuable contribution may be appreciated to its full extent. In order to make Prantl’s text useful to current research we have updated the information on Galileo and Kepler. Finally, the reader will appreciate how significant Prantl’s approach was for the future, that is, for current studies in the history and philosophy of science.Fil: Di Liscia, Daniel Antonio.

(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

Daniel Emmett postcard
No full textPostcard of Daniel Emmett and his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904

Meet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree
No full textMeet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree. It tells a timeless story of the romance and marriage between an American Armenian girl and an immigrant who survived the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Turkey. In the aftermath of the Genocide from the 20s through the early 70s, the couple and their three children become vivid, quintessentially American characters, only for tragedy to find them again, echoing the staggering losses of 1915. The cover painting with its frayed, whitewashed frame is by the author’s wife, Jeanette Arax Melnick, and the novel is based partly on the lives of her family. Combining history and fictionalized memoir, The Ash Tree is an important, beautifully written novel of survival, new life, and heartbreak. Available from independent bookstores, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com. Further information at www.danielmelnick.com. Price: $25. ISBN: 9780981854762
