Here tp is known as the golden ratio and is equal to 1.61803. It appears in the most surprising places in nature, art, and mathematics. The symbol tp is the Greek letter phi, the first letter in the name Phidias, the classical Greek sculptor who used the golden ratio extensively in his work. [Pg.93]

Analysis. Symmetry exists in nature, art, and architecture. Find an example from one of these areas that exhibits reflective and rotational symmetry. In a short essay present the item you have chosen and describe all of the reflective and rotational symmetries that appear in it. Discuss the function(s). if any. of these symmetries (e.g., to emphasize harmony, to define beauty in art). Include any diagrams that will help illustrate the points that you are making in your paper. [Pg.111]

Lucidly written and beautifully illustrated, this book provides an eminently readable discussion of the omnipresent concept of symmetry, its application in all branches of science, and its perception in nature, art and elsewhere. [Pg.556]

Ten years earlier, in happier times, Frumkin was given two pictures by his coworkers in the Department of Electrochemistry, which imitated the works of Picasso and Gauguin. These were to celebrate his 70th birthday. They symbolized the brighter aspects of Frumkin s life—his love of science, his constant urge to travel, and his deep admiration for nature, art, and poetry (Photo 4.31). [Pg.94]

The use of petroleum or derived materials, such as asphalt, and the heavier nonvolatile cmde oils is an old art (2). In fact, petroleum utilization has been documented for more than five thousand years. The earliest documented uses occurred in Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq) when it was recognized that the nonvolatile derivatives (bitumen or natural asphalt and manufactured asphalt) could be used for caulking and as an adhesive for jewelry or as a mastic for constmction purposes. There is also documented use of bitumen for medicinal use. [Pg.200]

The process of designing a pyrotechnic mixture begins with the selection of oxidizer and fuel, and proceeds to incorporate additional components to achieve the exact pyrotechnic effect and bum rate desired in the end item. It is at this point that pyrotechnics takes on the dual nature of an art and science, and experience is often the only thing that can be reHed upon for the solution of a difficult problem. [Pg.347]

Sulfur chemistry [29] has also been used to crosslink rubber/resin PSAs, although the use of elemental sulfur itself yields tapes that can stain substrates. Other patents exemplify the use of typical rubber vulcanizing chemistry such as Tetrone A , dipentamethylenethiuramtetrasulfide, and Tuads , tetramethylthiu-ram disulfide [30], or zinc butyl xanthate [31] for this purpose. Early art [32] also claimed electron beam curing of both natural rubber and other adhesives that were solvent coated on tape backings. Later references to electron beam curing... [Pg.475]

By far the best known PCM is water. It occurs naturally and has been used for cold storage for more than 2000 years. Today, cold storage with ice is state of the art and even cooling with natural ice and snow is used again. [Pg.261]
