Physical Sources of Biblical History [PDF]
The Reformation and the consequent divergence of religious cultures in Europe had profound consequences for intellectual regimes across the continent. Learned medicine was no exception in that respect. One area where we may gauge the effects of this development was in the field of medicina sacra: the application of medical knowledge to the ...

Oral History and Physical Therapy: The Importance of Physical Therapy History [PDF]
The study of physical therapy history in Canada has focused mainly on the profession's origins and its development alongside medicine after World War II.1 While it is important to document our professional origins, our history also includes local and broader community narratives across the country that need to be studied and celebrated.

Using the Wigner-Ibach Surmise to Analyze Terrace-Width Distributions: History, User's Guide, and Advances [PDF]
A history is given of the applications of the simple expression generalized from the surmise by Wigner and also by Ibach to extract the strength of the interaction between steps on a vicinal surface, via the terrace width distribution (TWD).

Supersymmetric Unification [PDF]
The measured value of the weak mixing angle is, at present, the only precise experimental indication for physics beyond the Standard Model. It points in the direction of Unified Theories with Supersymmetric particles at accessible energies. We recall the

A selected history of expectation bias in physics
The beliefs of physicists can bias their results towards their expectations in a number of ways. We survey a variety of historical cases of expectation bias in observations, experiments, and calculations.Comment: 6 pages, 2 ...

Pere Vieta (1779–1856), promoter of free public teaching of physics in Catalonia [PDF]
Free public teaching of physics in Catalonia started in the early 19th century, even if the interest in experimental physics goes back to the 18th century, where this discipline was discussed at various learned societies.
