Science and Technology

[Shuttle]

I intend to use this page to present information of a Technical and/or Scientific interest.

Technology

Introduction to Radio Theory
This first topic is an introduction to simple Radio theory. If there is an interest shown I will delve more deeply into the subject
 
Cabling the Channel
The construction of the Channel Tunnel created a physical link with the continent. In 1851 the connection was made with the first marine telegraph cable.


Famous People of Science.

Louis Pasteur

You have raised the veil which for centuries has covered infectiousdiseases, you have discovered and demonstrated their microbian nature.(Joseph Lister 1892 in Paris on Pasteur's 70th birthday)
Robert Koch

Pasteur was a wizard in and out of the laboratory, but bactriology's consolidation into a scientific dicipline was mainly due to the investigative genius of the German physician Robert Koch.
Edward Jenner & Smallpox

Early pioneering work of Immunology.

Hospital Infection in the nineteenth century

Developement of hospital hygiene and antisepsis in the last century, and the work of Ignas Semmeleweise & Joseph Lister.
 
Engineering
The Brunels

If, when considering engineering, the words innovation and productivity come to mind it would be fitting to apply them, in full, to the careers of Marc Isambard and Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
