Postkarte. Condizione: Gut. Blanko-Postkarte mit aufgedruckter Bezeichnung von Donald Arthur Glaser mit schwarzem Stift signiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Donald Arthur Glaser (* 21. September 1926 in Cleveland, Ohio; ? 28. Februar 2013 in Berkeley, Kalifornien ) war ein US-amerikanischer Physiker, Molekularbiologe, Neurobiologe und Nobelpreisträger. Donald Arthur Glaser wurde am 21. September 1926 als Sohn des Geschäftsmannes William J. Glaser und seiner Frau Lena Glaser in Cleveland/Ohio geboren. Nach dem Besuch öffentlicher Schulen in Cleveland Heights studierte er Physik und Mathematik am Case Institute of Technology. Nach seinem B.S. 1946 lehrte er ein Semester am Case Institute of Technology. Er ging im Herbst des Jahres an das California Institute of Technology und promovierte dort 1950 in Mathematik und Physik. Er erhielt bereits 1949 eine Dozentenstelle an der physikalischen Fakultät der Universität von Michigan und wurde 1957 zum Professor ernannt, 1959 wechselte er an die University of California, Berkeley. 1962 wurde er in die National Academy of Sciences, 1997 in die American Philosophical Society[2] und 2003 in die American Academy of Arts and Sciences gewählt. Glaser heiratete 1960 Ruth Bonnie Thompson, mit der er zwei Kinder hatte: die Kinderärztin Louise Ferris Addison und den CEO eines Unternehmens aus der Computerbranche, William Thompson Glaser. Er heiratete 1975 die Malerin Lynn Bercovitz. Werk Der Forschungsschwerpunkt Glasers in seinen frühen Jahren lag im Bereich der Elementarteilchenphysik, wobei sein Interesse in den experimentellen Techniken lag, die in diesem Bereich hilfreich sein könnten. So konstruierte er mehrere Diffusions-Nebelkammern und Funkenzähler und entwickelte die Ideen, die 1952 in die Erfindung der Blasenkammer mündeten. In den folgenden Jahren entwickelte er weitere Blasenkammertypen für Experimente in der Hochenergiephysik und führte auch selbst Experimente am Cosmotrom des Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York und dem Bevatron des Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Kalifornien durch. Er wurde 1960 "für die Erfindung der Blasenkammer" mit dem Nobelpreis für Physik ausgezeichnet. Glaser wandte sich 1962 dem Gebiet der Molekularbiologie zu, das ihn bereits seit seinem Studium am CalTech interessiert hatte. Nachdem durch die Erkenntnis, dass die DNA und RNA von Mikroorganismen genauso aufgebaut ist wie die höherentwickelter Lebewesen, die Grundlagen der modernen Biotechnologie gelegt waren, untersuchte Glaser mit seinen Studenten die Kontrollmechanismen der DNA-Synthese in Bakterien. Er konnte auch anhand von mutierten Eizellen des Chinesischen Hamsters eine erhöhte Sensitivität gegenüber ultraviolettem Licht nachweisen, wodurch diese Zellen sich in Krebszellen verwandeln konnten. Die sieben in diesen Prozess involvierten Gene finden sich auch beim Menschen, wobei die gleichen Defekte zu der Krebsform "Xeroderma pigmentosum" führen. Als Glaser um 1970 feststellte, dass die Molekularbiologie zwar ein sehr detailliertes Wissen bereitstellte, das aber kaum in der Medizin oder anderen Bereichen angewandt wurde, gründete er mit zwei Freunden das erste Biotechnologie-Unternehmen und begründete damit diesen Industriezweig, der große Auswirkungen auf Medizin und Landwirtschaft hat. Da durch diese Industrialisierung der Biotechnologie der experimentelle Aufwand für die biochemischen und molekularen Technologien sehr schnell zunahm, wandte er sich erneut einem anderen Gebiet zu - der Neurobiologie, speziell dem visuellen System des Menschen. Es handelt sich hier um einen der bestuntersuchten Bereiche des menschlichen Gehirns, dessen "Schaltplan" sehr gut verstanden wird. So können, ausgehend von Computermodellen des menschlichen Sehens, Vorhersagen über die visuellen Fähigkeiten des Menschen und von Affen getroffen werden, die mit psychophysikalischen und elektrophysikalischen Methoden überprüfbar sind. Diese Modelle führten bereits zu Beschreibungen der Wahrnehmung von Bewegung und Tiefe und führten zur Vorhersage zweier neuer Täuschungseffekte bzgl. der Bewegung, die gegenwärtig von Glasers Forschungsgruppe an Menschen und Affen überprüft werden. /// Standort Wimregal Pkis-Box15-U029 WITHIN THE EU: shipping only to GERMANY and AUSTRIA due to the new EPR regulations.

1st Edition. BOUND FULL VOLUME FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST MODEL OF ELECTRON-HOLE RECOMBINATION IN A HIGHLY PURE SEMICONDUCTOR. Cited over 2500 since publication, this model is now known as the Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination and is of import to solar and semiconductor technology. "Any electron which exists in the conduction band is in a meta-stable state and will eventually stabilize to a lower energy position in the valence band. When this occurs, it must move into an empty valence band state. Therefore, when the electron stabilizes back down into the valence band, it also effectively removes a hole. This process is called recombination" (Honsberg & Bowden, Types of Recombination). The model Shockley and Read put forth in this paper is essentially recombination through defects; in other words, recombination does not happen in a pure material. The steps involved in SRH are two-fold: (1) "An electron (or hole) is trapped by an energy state in the forbidden region which is introduced through defects in the crystal lattice. These defects can either be unintentionally introduced or deliberately added to the material, for example in doping the material; and (2) If a hole (or an electron) moves up to the same energy state before the electron is thermally re-emitted into the conduction band, then it recombines. "The rate at which a carrier moves into the energy level in the forbidden gap depends on the distance of the introduced energy level from either of the band edges. Therefore, if an energy is introduced close to either band edge, recombination is less likely as the electron is likely to be re-emitted to the conduction band edge rather than recombine with a hole which moves into the same energy state from the valence band. For this reason, energy levels near mid-gap are very effective for recombination" (ibid). ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS ISSUE: PFIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF DONALD GLASER'S NOBEL PRIZE WINNING INVENTION OF THE BUBBLE CHAMBER USED IN SUB ATOMIC PARTICLE PHYSICS. Glaser was an American physicist and neurobiologist who, inspired by the bubbles in a glass of beer, invented a vessel that, when filled with a superheated transparent liquid like liquid hydrogen, is able to detect electrically charged particles moving through it. Glaser's bubble chamber made it possible for scientists "to observe the paths and lifetimes of particles" in sub atomic particle physics (Wikipedia). Bubble chambers are created by filling "a large cylinder with a liquid heated to just below its boiling point. As particles enter the chamber, a piston suddenly decreases its pressure, and the liquid enters into a superheated, metastable phase. Charged particles create an ionization track, around which the liquid vaporizes, forming microscopic bubbles. Bubble density around a track is proportional to a particle's energy loss. Bubbles grow in size as the chamber expands, until they are large enough to be seen or photographed" (Wikipedia). Glaser was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1960 for his invention.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPS OF TWO PAPERS: DONALD GLASER'S BRIEF 1952 ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS FIRST EXPERIMENT WITH HIS BUBBLE CHAMBER & HIS 1953 PAPER FULLY DESCRIBING HIS INVENTION AND SUMMARIZING ITS USE IN OBSERVING AND PHOTOGRAPHING THE TRACKS AND LIFETIMES OF PARTICLES. Glaser's invention was a major breakthrough in sub-atomic particle physics. His "investigation of interactions involving short-lived particles, [facilitated] the discoveries by Luis Alvarez and others at Lawrence- Berkeley National Laboratories, among others" (History of Physics: The Wenner Collection). He was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics for this invention. "American physicist and neurobiologist Donald Arthur Glaser undertook a search for a better mechanism for tracking small charged particles, and settled on the idea of a superheated liquid. He found the published version of a 1924 study of superheated liquids and realized that the random beginning of boiling in the superheated ether described in the study was probably initiated by cosmic rays. Any disturbance in a superheated liquid causes local vaporization to occur, causing a bubble to form. As the particle moves through the liquid, it leaves a track of bubbles" (ibid). As stated in the Nobel Prize presentation speech, "Glaser's idea was that an atomic particle passing through the liquid would be able to provoke boiling by means of the ions which the atomic particle produces along its path and which act as bubble-development centers. If a flash picture were subsequently taken of the superheated liquid immediately after an atomic particle passes through, one ought to be able to observe the particle's path which is followed by the small bubbles which would have been produced" (Nobel Prize Presentation). This was the basis of Glaser's idea and, working according to very systematic plans and experiments, he built a device - first one as small as his thumb and then a full-sized one -- consisting of a tank of pressurized liquid which, when superheated by reducing its pressure, caused charged particles to pass through the tank, stripping electrons from atoms in the liquid and causing the liquid to boil. While initially microscopic, as the chamber expanded the bubbles grew in size, and as Glaser has hoped, grew large enough to become a very effective way to detect, visualize, and photograph the paths and lifetimes of particles.
