Pàgina 540 - I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant, with the inclosures from Messrs.
Pàgina 41 - Trapezii. Other portions of the nebula were then brought successively upon the slit ; but throughout the whole of those portions of the nebula which are sufficiently bright for this method of observation the spectrum remained unchanged, and consisted of the three bright lines only. The whole of this Great Nebula, as far as it lies within the power of my instrument, emits light which is identical in its characters ; the light from one part differs from the light of another in intensity alone.
Pàgina 33 - As in the case of the solar spectrum, the heat was found to augment from the violet to the red, while in the dark space beyond the red it rose to a maximum. The position of the maximum was about as distant from the extreme red in the one direction, as the green of the spectrum in the opposite one. The augmentation of temperature beyond the red in the spectrum of the electric light is sudden and enormous.
Pàgina 160 - ... into a bath of water at the temperature at which they correctly express the standard. The mercury standards consist of two glass tubes about three-quarters of a metre in length. All these standards are equal to one another at some temperature stated on each coil, and lying between 14°-5 and 16°'5 C. None of them, when correct, differ more than 0'03 per cent, from their value at 15°'5 C. Serious errors have occasionally been introduced into observations by resistance at connexions between different...
Pàgina 459 - ... antimonide of potassium, gave off at 80° C. a colourless liquid, which burnt with a white flame, diffusing a white smoke of oxide of antimony. The liquid which then remained was stibdiamyl. It...
Pàgina 155 - PouilletJ, established the truth of Ohm's theory shortly after the year 1830. The conception of a unit of resistance is implicitly contained in the very expression of Ohm's law ; but the earlier writers seem to have contented themselves with reducing by calculation the resistance of all parts of a heterogeneous circuit into a given length of some given part of that circuit, so as to form an imaginary homogeneous conductor, the idea of which lies at the basis of Ohm's reasoning. These writers, therefore,...
Pàgina 500 - Admiralty Manual for ascertaining and applying the deviations of the compass caused by the iron in a ship.
Pàgina 244 - Beale. On the Structure and Formation of the Sarcolemma of Striped Muscle, and of the exact relation of the nerves, vessels, and air-tubes (in the case of insects) to the contractile tissue of Muscle.
Pàgina 41 - These nebulae are shown by the prism to be enormous gaseous systems ; and the conjecture appears probable that their apparent permanence of general form is maintained by the continual motions of these denser portions which the telescope reveals as lucid points.
