Gymnasia

Gymnasium with a heavy emphasis on Greek and Latin. While there, he learned Latin and Greek, read Kant, Goethe, and Schiller, and also learned French and English and a good deal of science. Classes were from 8 A.M. to 1 P.M., six days a week, with much homework assigned daily. [Pg.143]

Physicist Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius was born January 2, 1822, in Koeslin, Pomerania, Prussian province (now Koszalin, Poland). He was the sixth son of eighteen children born to teacher and a Protestant minister. Clausius attended gymnasium (secondary school) in Stettin and from 1840 the University in Berlin, where he studied mathematics... [Pg.236]

For example, methiciUin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a strain of bacteria that has become resistant to methicUhn. In healthy individuals, the S. aureus, though present, does not cause active infection. But in the immune suppressed and the elderly, S. aureus infection can result in morbidity and mortality. Worse still is the fact that MRSA is spread in healthcare institutions and community centers such as hospitals, medical centers, nursing homes, childcare centers, gymnasiums, and confined living quarters. The terms HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA refer to hospital-associated and community-associated MRSA. [Pg.379]

Rigid foams are excellent insulators, even better than polystyrene, and are used in refrigerators and refrigerated trucks and box cars. Polyurethane coating materials are popular additives to marine finishes and varnishes, particularly for gymnasium floors, bar tops, and other surfaces that take an abusive, abrasive beating. [Pg.364]

We are in luck. There happens to be a maintenance crew outside the gymnasium. We walk outside to borrow a ladder. We bring the... [Pg.103]

Now, let s go back into that gymnasium in your mind. Imagine walking firmly up the ladder and grabbing the blue gift. Open it and realize it took a few simple steps. Those steps are summarized here ... [Pg.133]

Professor Reich took no part in political life, and his excellent library contained no books on that subject. For a few years, however, he served as commissioner of the poor, and always acted for the best interests of those in need. Although he had no children of his own, Reich helped to support and educate the eleven children of his unfortunate brother Ludwig, who had lost both wife and fortune. Some of the nieces lived for years at the home of Professor and Mrs. Reich, and one nephew received his gymnasium and university education through their generosity (SI). [Pg.646]

Carl Auer, Baron von Welsbach, was bom on September 1, 1858, at Vienna (4). After completing the courses at the gymnasium and Poly-technicum of his native city, he went to Heidelberg to study under Robert Bunsen. The quiet, industrious, unsociable boy from Austria soon became a favorite of the great German master. Auer was deeply interested in inorganic chemistry, and especially in minerals. The rare earth minerals of the north attracted him so much that he began to search for specimens. [Pg.713]

Marie Sklodowska, a daughter of Dr. Sklodowski, a professor of physics and mathematics at the Warsaw gymnasium, was bom on November 7, 1867. Because of the early death of her gifted mother, the little girl grew up in her father s laboratory and under his instruction. She soon developed a passionate love of country and joined a secret society of students who organized evening classes for laborers and peasants. However, because of the limited opportunities for advanced study, she decided to leave her beloved motherland and go to Paris (99). [Pg.804]

The Problem Betsy and Bart see each other from opposite sides of a gymnasium that measures 440 feet across. They both start running toward one another at the same time. If Betsy can run at the rate of 4 feet per second and Bart runs at 7 feet per second, then how long does it take for them to meet ... [Pg.214]

Also, the small particle size so desirable in situations where there must be penetration into closed spaces such as gymnasium lockers or desk drawers, at the same time facilitates penetration into cupboards which contain food or eating utensils. However, these items may often be sealed in, or tightly covered, and table tops are easily cleaned. The operator must bear all these things in mind and proceed with full knowledge of what is involved. [Pg.66]

Meyer was bom in 1830 in Varel, not far from the North Sea in what is now Germany. (At the time of Meyer s birth it had been part of the Duchy of Oldenburg.) His birthplace is marked by a plaque, and there is a school named for him, Lothar-Meyer-Gymnasium. A more interesting memorial is shown in Figure 9, three columns bearing sculpted heads of Meyer, Mendeleev, and the Italian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro. [Pg.109]
