First Edition
1st Edition. FULL VOLUME 1969 FIRST EDITION OF TWO PAPERS PRESENTING THE FIRST EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF THE EXISTENCE OF QUARKS WITHIN THE ATOMIC NUCLEUS. Quarks had been predicted in 1964 by Murray Gell-Mann but until these experiments, no one had produced convincing experimental evidence for the existence of quarks inside the proton or neutron ("Friedman, Kendall and Taylor Win Nobel Prize for First Quark Evidence", Physics Today, Vol. 44, 1, pp. 17). In demonstrating that quarks are real particles, the lead scientists on these two papers, Jerome Friedman, Henry Kendall, and Richard Taylor confirmed Murray Gell-Mann's hypothesis of their existence and for their discovery, the trio were awarded the 1990 Nobel Prize in Physics. Taylor passed away in early 2018 a further note about his import appears below. The first paper, "High-Energy Inelastic e-p Scattering at 6(deg) and 10(deg)" "describes the experiment that identified the point-like centers within protons that were later identified as quarks" (The History of Science: Wenner Collection). The second, "Observed Behavior of Highly Inelastic Electron-Proton Scattering" "explains the significance of the experiment in terms of theory" (ibid). Gell-Mann's seminal 1964 work positing the 'idea' of quarks was based on the assumption that strongly interacting particles he classified (called hadrons) were all "built up from more elementary constituents" that he famously called 'quarks' (Levinovitz, The Nobel Prize, 44). Few people, however, "believed that quarks were real particles. Despite many searches in accelerators and in cosmic rays, no one had found an isolated quark. As Gell-Mann himself said: 'Such particles [quarks] presumably are not real but we may use them in our field theory anyway'" (Alan Lightman, The Discoveries, pp. 457). In the late 1960s while at the new two-mile electron linear accelerator, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Friedman, Kendall, and Taylor proved the existence of quarks by using "high-energy electrons from the then new accelerator, and [showed] that they bounced back in an unexpected way from the protons and neutrons in a gas target" (Quinn, The Mystery of the Missing Antimatter, 97). High-energy collisions â?? such as those enabled by SLAC â?? "disrupt the target, and the ensuing scattering is called inelastic. When high-energy electrons are used for this purpose, their wavelengths are small enough to probe within protons and neutrons inside the nucleusâ??that is, deep within the nucleus (the â??deep' within â??deep inelastic scattering'). In 1969, American theoretical physicist James Bjorken (born 1934) used a form of mathematics called current algebra to predict behavior in deep inelastic scattering (now called "Bjorken scaling") and proposed an experiment to test the theory of hadrons being comprised of smaller, point-like particles" (Wenner). Friedman, Kendall, and Taylor then "conducted the Bjorken scaling experiment using liquid hydrogen as the target the Bjorken scaling experiment using liquid hydrogen as the target" (ibid). "Friedman's group was startled. to observe that the scattering pattern suggested not that the positive charge of the proton was uniformly spread out, but rather that charges were confined to point-like centers within the protons. As the Nobel Prize Committee's presentation speech makes clear, Friedman, Kendall, and Taylor had not anticipated anything fundamentally new: "similar experiments, albeit at lower energies, had found that the proton behaved like a soft gelatinous sphere with many excited states, similar to those of atoms and nuclei. Nevertheless, the Laureates decided to go one step further and study the proton under extreme conditions. They looked for the electron undergoing a large deflection, and where the proton, rather than keeping its identity, seized a lot of the collision energy and broke up into a shower of new particles. This so called "deep inelastic scattering" had generally been considered to be too rare to be worth investigating. But the experiment showed otherwise: deep inelastic scattering was far more frequent than expected, displaying a totally new facet of proton behavior. This result was at first skeptically received: perhaps the moving electron gave off undetected light. But this year's Prizewinners had been thorough and their findings were subsequently confirmed by other experiments. A new rung on the ladder of creation had revealed itself and a new epoch in the history of physics had begun" (Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, 1990). Richard E. Taylor passed away in late February of 2018. Dr. Taylor saw himself, matter-of-factly, as an experimentalist in physics, not a theoretician. "My job was to measure things and to make sure that the measurements were right," he said in the 2008 Nobel interview (NYT Obituary, March 1, 2018). "There were 20 of us named on that experiment. referring to their work on deep inelastic scattering [these papers]. There were, like, 40 of us who built that apparatus, backed up by another 40 engineers and technicians, using an accelerator that is built by a thousand people" (ibid). For all his humility, the work of Taylor's life "set the stage for what is now known as the Standard Model in Physics" â?? the classification system for all fundamental particles and forces (Stanford News, February 22, 2018). Note that we also separately offer Physical Review Letters 23 Issue 16, October 20, 1969 â?? inclusive of these two papers â?? in original wraps.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Get ready to embark upon one of the most adventurous stories told from the viewpoint of a little boy by the name of Aiden. Whisked away in the mind of Aiden, the reader is confronted with some prevailing realities that are embedded within allegoric allusions, but reminiscent of the lives of real people, living real life, every day. The whimsical becomes the powerful voice of the voiceless, and through this genre of writing, gives that voice meaning and purpose. With the use of imaginative characterization and dialogue, the author invites the reader into a world many dare not explore. This short story is just one of many of Dr. Benders' archives of writings that probe at social problems with the purpose of stimulating dialogue to find meaningful solutions. As Founder & CEO of Getting Results, our educational division strives to find solutions that "get real results" for children. Dr. Benders and I developed a curriculum that extends the elements of the "Big Giant Monster" into a full analysis designed to build critical thinking skills for each student reader. As students engage in this book, they will uncover not only their love for reading and the adventures within this short story, but they will also discover their ability to critically think about the deeper issues the author portrays and how they influence race, family, and society. I believe this book will have an impact on students of all ages as teachers and parents use it as a springboard for exploring the issues that can no longer go unanswered. Jerome E.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. African American fathers and parents can make a difference and now is the time to act. As President Obama (2008) stated, "We need fathers to realize that responsibility doesn't just end at conception. That doesn't just make you a father. What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child. Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father. It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father" (President Obama in Bosman, para. 12). I found 10 courageous fathers who were proudly taking on the responsibility of fatherhood as publicly mentioned by our president. If you are reading this book, then you are a critical partner in the reshaping of education of our children in this country. Whether you are a father, mother, teacher, principal, or advocate, you embody the courage it is going to take to make a difference in the life of a child. What has been missing in many of the lives of children is their father and active parenting. This book is calling for all fathers and parents to courageously become active in the lives of their children. With this book, you'll read and learn from fathers who are making a difference in the lives of their children. Their testimonies can become strategies you can implement in your parenting practices and home structures. Each of the 8 Behaviors of Highly Successful Parents will equip and teach you how to interact with your children and increase their academic performance in school. This item is printed on demand.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Freedom: My Right To Speak" will captivate the spirit and mind of every reader as you embark upon the reality of what it means to come to grips with who you are and are destined to become in the world. The author reflectively reveals the inner battle of finding herself and her identify in a world that "perpetually defines" who we are and can become. Notwithstanding, the author "defines freedom" in a way that will inspire, encourage, and empower each of us to no longer accept the marginalization of the world's definitions, but develop a love, passion, and life of freedom. This book is trichotomous in nature, depicting "Freedom" from three distinct aspects of the author's belief system: (1) This book reveals the author's love and passion for politics and the political process, and the power One Voter has in that process. (2) This book reveals the author's love and passion for Change in the lives of people here in America and abroad, and (3) This book reveals the author's love and passion for this country, it's foundation and history, and the Hope that is possible for its future. She has captured all of these elements in the various writings she has compiled over her two years at Messiah College, and she has eloquently and masterfully brought the treasures she has learned to her readers with conviction and purpose.
