Frank E. Wheeler silent film music score fonds (1888-1928)
No full textThe fonds consists of musical scores, music related advertisements, and the envelopes originally storing the scores. Most of the scores originate from either New York or England. The records were kept by Frank Wheeler in England, then moved with him to Canada in Vancouver, then Nelson. Sandra Martin, Frank's granddaughter was given the scores and had them for years before donating them to the Selkirk Regional Archives in 2020. There are 10 boxes of musical scores comprising 194 files containing 225 individual scores.Francis (Frank) Wheeler was born March 24th, 1887, in Brackley, Buckinghamshire, England. When he was a young man, he decided to move to Canada to earn his fortune before marrying his fiancee, May Twist, a teacher in England. As a musician in Vancouver, BC, he searched for work and after finding other musicians to play alongside, he formed a small orchestra which played for silent movie theatres on Granville Street. Five years later he could afford to pay for May's boat to Vancouver, where they were married. Frank and May had three children, Frances, Ed and Dorothy. After years in Vancouver with his family, Frank proposed a trip around British Columbia to develop his photography career. The family left for Banff and any other spots that offered good photograph material. When they arrived in Nelson, BC, Frank loved the area, so they stayed. He taught piano lessons there to supplement his income as a meter reader, which he served as in the streets of Nelson for 25 years. They lived on Falls Street which displayed Cottonwood Falls in their backyard. He also became the organist at Nelson's Anglican Church. In 1958, Frank passed away due to bronchitis, in Nelson at the age of 71

L'elettrodinamica di Wheeler e Feynman
No full textL’elettrodinamica classica postula che il campo elettromagnetico generato da una particella carica corrisponda alla soluzione ritardata delle equazioni di Maxwell. Tale soluzione prevede che una carica accelerata emetta radiazione, ma comporta allo stesso tempo una violazione spontanea dell’invarianza per inversione temporale, una autointerazione infinita della particella carica e una dinamica acausale della stessa. L’approccio di Wheeler e Feynman all’elettrodinamica, basato su una azione-a-distanza relativistica a discapito del concetto di campo, rappresenta un tentativo di superare tali difficolta’. Nel lavoro di tesi si analizzano i presupposti concettuali necessari per rendere questo approccio compatibile con l’esperienza e si mettono in evidenza i suoi limiti come modello fondamentale della radiazione.ope
The old enemies: Catholic and Protestant in nineteenth-century English culture
No full textDivisions between Catholics and Protestants have been a feature of English history since the Reformation. Even into the industrial nineteenth century, age-old theological disagreements were the cause of religious and cultural conflicts. The Old Enemies asks why these ancient divisions were so deep, why they continued into the nineteenth century and how novelists and poets, theologians and preachers, historians and essayists reinterpreted the religious debates. Michael Wheeler, a leading authority on the literature and theology of the period, explains how each side misunderstood the other's deeply held beliefs about history, authority, doctrine and spirituality, and, conversely, how these theological conflicts were a source of inspiration and creativity in the arts. This wide-ranging, well-illustrated study sheds much new light on nineteenth-century history, literature and religion.• A wide-ranging interdisciplinary overview of the Catholic-Protestant conflict in Victorian England • Examines in depth how nineteenth-century writers were inspired by religious controversies • Author is a leading scholar in the field of literature and religion in the periodContents

Cosmologia quântica de Wheeler-DeWitt: suas tentativas e falhas
No full textA cosmologia quântica de Wheeler-DeWitt é descrita a partir da formulação hamiltoniana da Relatividade Geral (RG) proposta em 1962 por Arnowitt, Deser e Misner (ADM) e utilizando a interpretação da física quântica de Everett-Wheeler. Ao longo das décadas muita pesquisa foi feita com essa teoria. Contudo, ela apresenta alguns problemas, como falta de evidências da física quântica de Everett-Wheeler e interpretação da função de onda cosmológica, dentre outras. Um breve histórico da RG e da cosmologia é feito, com foco na formulação de Wheeler e DeWitt, apresentando suas dificuldades e citando algumas soluções que foram entregues à comunidade científica com o passar do tempo
