Electrical engineer, educator, physicist, researcher. Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Associate Vice-Chancellor for Research, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Professor Eden is also Director of the Laboratory for Optical Physics and Engineering, a laboratory devoted to developing new sources and applications of coherent radiation in the spectral region below 500 nm. The Laboratory has discovered several new lasers and amplifiers in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet, including the first ultraviolet and violet fiber lasers, ultralow threshold, diode laser-pumped visible fiber lasers, and the diatomic CdI, CdBr, and ZnI molecular lasers in the visible and near-IR. With his students, Professor Eden has developed laser spectroscopic techniques which have resulted in the discovery of Rydberg series in the rare gas dimers, and the first observation of free-bound (photoassociation) spectra of thermal atomic pairs. Recent accomplishments of his research group include the generation and modulation of coherent UV by atomic wavepackets on the 100 fs time scale, and the development of microdischarge devices and arrays. For the latter, he and several colleagues were recently awarded three patents and others are pending.

Dr. Eden was a National Research Council Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory ( Washington, DC) and then was appointed a research physicist in the Laser Physics Branch. He joined the University of Illinois faculty in 1979 where he has been engaged in research in molecular and ultrafast laser spectroscopy, the discovery and development of visible and ultraviolet lasers, and microplasma devices.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the Optical Society of America and the American Physical Society, Past Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, and has served as Associate Vice-Chancellor for Research, Assistant Dean of the College of Engineering, and Associate Dean of the Graduate College. Dr. Eden was the James F. Towey Scholar at the University of Illinois from 1996 through 1999 and, in 1998, served as President of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (LEOS).

"I am persuaded by two truths. First, the physical world-which displays a level of complexity and beauty that we can only begin to fathom (much less duplicate)-bears the unmistakable signature of a superior intellect. Second, Christianity provides a rational explanation for life on this planet as it really is, not as we would wish it to be. In light of these truths, I accept the testimony of the apostle Peter, who states emphatically that "when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not following cleverly devised fables. On the contrary, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty" (2 Peter New Berkeley Version)." From Professors Who Believe: The Spiritual Journeys of Christian Faculty, edited by Paul M. Anderson.

Edwardes produced a small book of two treatises (London, 1532), the first entitled Aa href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/010753279">De indiciis et praecognitionibus, dealing with uroscopy and medical prognostication; the second, In anatomicen introductio luculenta et brevis, devoted to anatomy, the first work specifically on anatomy published in England. The reference to his dissection of a human body in 1531 in the latter treatise is the first record of a human dissection in England.

David Edwardes: His Activities at Cambridge

Jonathan Edwards, colonial New England minister and missionary, was one of the greatest preachers and theologians in American history. At the age of twelve he had shown close and delicate scientific observation in an account of phenomena relating to "flying spiders", and in college he added a power of theoretic reasoning in terms of Newtonian science.

Abstract: "Jesus of Nazareth underwent Jewish and Roman trials, was flogged, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion. The scourging produced deep stripelike lacerations and appreciable blood loss, and it probably set the stage for hypovolemic shock, as evidenced by the fact that Jesus was too weakened to carry the crossbar (patibulum) to Golgotha. At the site of crucifixion, his wrists were nailed to the patibulum and, after the patibulum was lifted onto the upright post (stipes), his feet were nailed to the stipes. The major pathophysiologic effect of crucifixion was an interference with normal respirations. Accordingly death resulted primarily from hypovolemic shock and exhaustion asphyxia. Jesus' death was ensured by the thrust of a soldier's spear into his side. Modern medical interpretation of the historical evidence indicate that Jesus was dead when taken down from the cross."

Loren Eiseley Society biography

From MetaLibrary archive:

Dr. Ellis is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Capetown, South Africa. His professional research work concentrates on relativity theory and cosmology< and he has published over 200 scientific papers and several books including The Large Scale Structure of Space Time, Cambridge University Press, 1973, which he co-authored with Steven Hawking. He published several papers on the relationship between science and religion and is active on several Quaker committees and boards.

Ellis in his book, Quantum Cosmology and the Laws of Nature:

God is the creator and sustainer of the universe and of humankind, transcending the universe but immanent in it;

God's nature embodies justice and holiness, but is also a personal and loving God who cares for each creature (so the name "father" is indeed appropriate);

God's nature is revealed most perfectly in the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible, who was sent by God to reveal the divine nature, summarized in "God is Love;"

God has an active presence in the world that still touches the lives of the faithful today.

Galileo Project entry

Ent published a defense of Harvey, Apologia pro circulatione sanguinis, 1641, in which he showed the influence also of hermetic authors and concepts of innate heat, which seem to look forward to Mayow.

He also composed some minor anatomical works published as part of one of Charleton's books.

Ent dedicated Apologia pro circulatione to the Earl of Lincoln. Granted a knighthood by Charles II in 1665 after an anatomy lecture at the College of Physicians at which the King was present.

Ent was one of three fellows of the College of Physicians who supervised the revised edition of the Pharmacopoeia londonensis, 1650.

Member: Royal Society, 1660-89. Ent was one of the founding fellows and was named to the original Council in the charter of 1662; Royal College of Physicians, 1639. President, seven years between 1670 and 1684. Censor, 22 years between 1645-69; Medical College. Informal connections: Friendship with Harvey from their chance meeting in Rome in 1636. He was one of the first writers to compose a detailed defense of Harvey. In 1648 he persuaded the elderly Harvey to release the manuscript of De Generatione which Ent edited and published with a commendatory preface in 1651. His transcript of Harvey's correspondence was used in the College of Physicians edition of Harvey's works in 1766. In Harvey's will, Ent was charged with dispersing his library in the College of Physicians.

In 1540 Erastus was studying theology at Basel. The plague of 1544 drove him to Bologna and thence to Padua as student of philosophy and medicine. In 1553 he became physicjan to the count of Henneberg, Saxe-Meiningen, and in 1558 held the same post with the elector-palatine, Otto Heinrich, being at the same time professor of medicine at Heidelberg. His patrons successor, Frederick III, made him (1559) a privy councillor and member of the church consistory. He published several pieces bearing on medicine, astrology and alchemy, and attacking the system of Paracelsus. His name is permanently associated with a posthumous publication, written in 1568.

Erker's whole career was explicitly directed to the practical goals of metallurgy and mining.

"Lazarus Ercker," Britannica Concise Encyclopedia; from Encyclopædia Britannica:

"In 1554 Ercker was appointed assayer at Dresden, the first of his many positions in the Saxony bureaucracy, and later became a control tester of coins. His systematic review of the techniques then in use for testing alloys and minerals of silver, gold, copper, antimony, mercury, bismuth, and lead, of obtaining and refining such metals, and of extracting acids, salts, and other compounds may be regarded as the first manual of analytical and metallurgical chemistry."

French anatomist, botanist, physician.

Galielo Project entry:

Estienne published Anatomia, a short treatise, in 1536, and his main anatomical work, De dissectione, in Latin in 1545, and in French in 1546. His many original observations included the morphology and physiological significance of the "feeding holes" of bones, the cartaliginous meniscus of the temporomandibular joint, the valvulae in the hepatic veins, and the scrotal septum.

Among his several treatises on gardening and the names of plants and birds, De re hortensi libellus (1535) and Seminarium (1536) were favorably received and republished. He published other works on botany. He published a book on medicine, derivative from Galen, in 1550. As a publisher, he printed mostly dictionaries, grammars, and classical literature, but only one real scientific book, by Pierre Belon.

The Swiss mathematician and physicist Leonhard Euler (pronounced "oiler", not "yooler") (1707-1783) made important original contributions to every branch of mathematics studied in his day. A prolific author, among his greatest writings are treatises on analytic geometry, differential and integral calculus, and the calculusof variations. Euler developed spherical trigonometry, demonstrated the importance of convergence in algebraic series, proved important assertions in number theory, and made contributions to hydrodynamics, celestial mechanics, and optics. Euler also brought into common usage such mathematical notations "e" for the base of the natural logarithm, "i" for the square root of negative 1, and f(x) for a function of x. A variety of mathematical concepts bear his name, including Euler's characteristicin topology, Euler's trianglein geometry, Euler's polynomials, Euler's integrals, and Euler's constant. His accomplishments are especially remarkable in that many were made during the last quarter of his life, when he was totally blind.

Italian anatomist, physician. Catholic.

Galileo Project entry:

In 1562 and 1563 Eustachi produced a remarkable series of treatises on the kidney, the auditory organ (De auditus organis), the venous system, and the teeth. These were published in Opuscula anatomica (1564). The treatise on the kidney was the first work specifically dedicated to that organ. The teatise on the auditory organ provided a correct account of the tuba auditiva that is still referred to eponymously by Eustachi's name. He was also the first who made a study of the teeth in any considerable detail. In 1552 Eustachi, with the help of Pier Matteo Pini, prepared a series of 47 anatomical plates, which (although they were published only in 1714, long after his death) alone assured him a distinguished position in the history of anatomy. He placed anatomy in the service of medicine; much of it was pathological anatomy.

Member: Medical College of Rome.

"Who Named It" entry

Associated eponyms: Eustachian catheter, A catheter devised by Jean Marie Gaspard Itard, French physician, 1774-1838; Eustachian cushion, A swelling at the entrance of the auditory tube into the naso-pharynx; Eustachian tube, This 3-4 cm tubular structure connecting the nose with the middle ear permits communication between the inner ear and the external atmosphere so that equal pressure is maintained on either side of the eardrum; Eustachian valve, Obsolete term for the Valvula venae cavae inferiore; Eustachianography,
Radiologic examination of the eustachian tube and middle ear after the introduction of a contrast agent.
On his (assumed) 400th birthday in 1913 a memorial was erected in his honour at the Sapienza in Rome.
In 1552 Eustachi, with the help of Pier Matteo Pini, a relative and an artist from Urbino, prepared a series of forty-seven anatomical illustrations for a medical treatise; these were engraved, two on the obverse and reverse of a single copper plate, by Giulio de' Musi of Rome. The illustrations were prepared for a book entitled De dissensionibus ac controversiis anatomicis but were never published. The first eight large octavo plates, labelled Tabula Prima-Octava, were used in the Opuscula anatomica.
Although from an artistic point of view they are not as well done as the anatomical plates of Vesalius, from the point of view of anatomy they are sometimes more accurate than Vesalius'. Had the plates been published at the time they were executed, Eustachi would undoubtedly have ranked with Vesalius as founder of modern anatomy, and anatomical studies would have reached maturity in the seventeenth rather than in the eighteenth century.

Evelyn laid out famous gardens at Sayes Court and worked all his life on a projected treatise on gardening, to be called Elysium britannicum, which he never completed and published, though various parts of it were. He did publish a translation of a French work on gardening, and in 1664 Kalendarium hortense, or the Gardener's Almanack. 1664, Sylva, a book on timber and Evelyn's most important work. Attached to Sylva was Pomona, on fruit growing for cider. Evelyn also published a translation of Lucretius, De rerum natura. Evelyn was more a literary figure than a scientist; he wrote on a wide variety of topics.

Member: Royal Society from its foundation, 1660-1706. He was a member of the original Council, 1662. Secretary, 1672, 1682, 1691. He refused the presidency on three occasions. Informal connections: He collaborated several times with Christopher Wren during his lifetime. Friendship with John Wilkins and Robert Boyle. He corresponded with Boyle, and sent him a suggestion for the foundation of a mathematical college or community for scientific study in 1559. He was a very close friend of Samuel Pepys.
