Enrico Fermi Biography

Enrico Fermi


Enrico Fermi (born 29 September 1901 - died 28 November 1954 at age 53 years) was an Italian-American physicist who is best remembered for his work in the beta decay, the development of the first nuclear reactor, and the development of quantum theory. He won the Nobel Prize in physics 1938.

He graduated brilliantly and received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Pisa before reaching age twenty-one years. He was, Enrico Fermi, the first atomic reactor designer who was born in 1901 in Rome, Italy. By the age of twenty-six years he was a full professor at the University of Rome. And meantime he had published a major paper, one branch of physics that deals with difficult and deep-called "quantum statistics." In this paper, Fermi developed the statistical theory is used to describe the behavior of the unification of particles in large numbers of separate, species now referred to as "fermions." Because the electrons, protons and neutrons - three "cluster building" consisting of ordinary objects - all of which "fermions." Fermi theory has very important significance for science. This opens the possibility of a statement we have a better understanding of the principal nucleus, about the degradation behavior of an object (such as occurs on the inside of a particular type stars), and of which contained elements of metal properties. This is clearly a subject matter that has a lot to.


In 1933 Fermi formulated a theory about the "deterioration of beta" (a type of radioactivity) that linked the first quantitative discussion of the "neutrino and weak interaction," two important topics in physics today. Such investigations, although not easy to understand layman, puts Fermi as one of the leading physicists in the world. However, the most important results of Fermi's work not yet emerged.


1932, an English physicist, James Chadwick, has managed to find a name subatomis particles: neutrons. Starting from 1934, Fermi continued by way of delivering high-speed particles of atoms with neutrons. Experiments show that many types of atoms capable of absorbing neutrons, and in many cases the atoms resulting from the conversion of this kind containing radioactive nuclear.


People rightly expect that it would be much easier for the neutron leak into the main part of the atom when a neutron moving at high speed. However, the experimental Fermi showed the opposite of that. Namely, when a fast neutron dipelankan first by making him pass through the "paraffin" or water, he can be more readily absorbed by the atom. This discovery is very important in use in the field of nuclear reactor construction. The materials used in reactors to make slow motion of the neutrons are known in the term "moderator."


In 1938, Fermi important investigations on the absorption of neutrons to make it earn the Nobel Prize in physics. But, along with that he has trouble in Italy. First, Fermi's wife was Jewish while Fascist governments in Italy have issued a number of laws that smacks of anti-Jewish. Second, the Fermi berfaham a persistent anti-fascist, a very dangerous attitude when the Italian dictator Mussolini below. In December 1938, when he went to Strockholm to receive the Nobel Prize, he did not return to Italy, but went to New York. Erratic course, University of Colombia can prance experts one of the scientists of the largest in the world. Not thinking, Fermi immediately available position. Fermi become U.S. citizens in 1944.


In early 1939, reported by Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann discovered that the absorption of neutrons sometimes causes the uranium atoms to be separated. When the news broke of this report, Fermi (as well as some leading physicists) immediately realized that the separate-pisahnya uranium atom can release enough neutrons to start a chain reaction. Furthermore, Fermi (also with other physicists) immediately see and imagine the military potential that can be generated by this chain reaction. Towards the month of March 1939, Fermi had contacted the U.S. Navy and trying to attract their attention in the fabrication of atomic weapons. However, only a few months later, after Albert Einstein wrote a letter on the subject to President Roosevelt, then the United States government concerned with atomic energy.


Once the government of the United States are interested, the task of scientists is the main thing is to build a prototype tool to monitor the release of atomic energy to see if the chain reaction that could hold its own can actually be accounted for. Because a scientist Enrico Fermi who weighs and authorities in matters of neutrons, and because he already incorporates both theoretical and practical talent experiments, he was appointed head of the group to try to build the world's first atomic reactor. First he worked at the University of Colombia, then at the University of Chicago. In this Chicago, dated December 2, 1942, the nuclear reactor was completed successfully designed and built under the supervision of Fermi. This is truly a first round of the atomic era, because for the first time in human history people managed to create a nuclear chain reaction. This successful experiment was soon sent to the east with the magic words but contain hidden images, "the Italian navigator has set foot in the new world." After the successful event of this trial, it was decided to rush forward as quickly as possible through the so-called "Manhattan Project." Fermi continued to play a role in determining the project that stands out as an expert advisor.


After the war, Fermi become professor at the University of Chicago. He died in 1954, Fermi married and two children. Chemical element number 100, "fermium," called his name as a mark of respect.


Fermi is an important one judge from any cause and majors. First, no doubt he was the greatest scientist of the 20th century and one of the few famous both as a theorist and experimentalist. There is very little scientific work unfolded in this book, but Fermi had written over 200 scientific articles during his career.

Second, Fermi is a very important figure in terms of fabrication of an atomic bomb, although some others hold the role of equal importance in the job.


However, the significance of Fermi's most basic role of the main stem from which he held in the discovery of atomic reactors. Obviously Fermi share in this relationship. He gave a decisive contribution of the theory, and he supervised its design and construction as well as the first reactor.


Since 1945, there was no atomic bomb used in warfare, but a large number of nuclear reactors built to generate energy for peaceful purposes. These reactors would have seemed even more important meaning in the future. Moreover, several reactors are used for a useful memprodusir radio isotopes, which are used in medical and scientific inquiry. The reactor is also - and more frightening - a source of "Plutonium," the main ingredient (substance) that can be used to make atomic weapons. There is an understandable fear that a nuclear reactor could be catastrophic for humanity, but no one thought that the discovery was trivial stuff. Whether for good or for evil, Fermi's work will have far-reaching impact in the future.

Biography of Samuel Morse



Samuel Morse
Samuel Finley Breese Morse (born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, USA, 27 April 1791 - died in New York City, New York, USA, 2 April 1872 at age 80 years) was an inventor from the United States. Morse is also a painter, but he is more famous for inventing the electric telegraph. Together with his assistant Alexander Bain alphabet he created specifically for use in the telegraph, the so-called Morse code.


He was inspired to create an electric telegraphy when he saw a passenger on the ship he was traveling exhibit of the electromagnet. Morse produced the first electric telegraph was useful in 1835. In 1843 he obtained a U.S. $ 30,000 from Congress for the experimental line from Washington, DC to Baltimore and on May 24, 1844 he sent the first message through telegraphy America, from Washington to Baltimore, with the Morse code: "What hath God wrought", the words in that message is, "What has God written?"


Morse lived to old age. He had witnessed the telegraph lines were installed throughout the world including submarine cables. On the anniversary of eighty. A statue of him was unveiled in Central Park, New York in recognition of his services. A year after he died.

Cornelius Van Drebbel Biography - Submarine Inventor





Cornelius van Drebbel was born in Alkmaar in 1572 in Holland, he was the inventor of the first submarine to realize the design of leonardo da vinci. After several years of school in Alkmaar, circa 1590, he then went to Haarlem, which is also located in the Northern Netherlands. Teachers at the academy is Hendrick Goltzius, sculptor, painter, and humanist, Karel van Mander, painter, writer, humanist and Cornelis Corneliszoon of Haarlem. Drebbel became a skilled engraver. In 1595 he married Sophia Jansdochter Goltzius, Hendrick's brother. They have four children. In 1600, Drebbel was in Middelburg where he built a fountain in Noorderpoort.


He met with Hans Lippershey which is a co-constructor of telescopes and Zacharias Jansen. Drebbel learned lens grinding and optics. Around 1604 the family moved to England Drebbel, perhaps at the invitation of the new king, James I of England (VI of Scotland). Drebbel also worked in the courts. In 1610 Drebbel and family are invited to come to the court of Emperor Rudolf II in Prague. After Rudolf's death in 1612, Drebbel back to London. Unfortunately his patron Prince Henry died and Drebbel financial difficulties. Initially, the submarine is a sketch artist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), while William Bourne designed the plan of the ship (1578). But, who managed to build it was Cornelius van Drebbel in 1620.


Initially, he only saw the sketches that made two of his friends. Then, slowly van Drebbel try to realize the sketches which he said is unique. Standard construction is still taking a sketch Bourne. Namely, using the principle that vessel can sink when the tank filled with water. If the vessel will be raised to the surface, the water tank is emptied first. Then, van Drebbel trying to apply the law of Archimedes by using the paddle as a driver. Not quite up there, van Drebbel continue


upgrade the homemade submarines. Especially in terms of design with a shape like the arrangement of the two boats and the skin closed. Dayungan holes made more adhesive so it does not take in water. Van Drebble not use the system back, but try to iron so much easier dive boat.


The submarine is a submarine of the oldest. Therefore, the body is still made from animal skins and wood frame. Van Drebbel is also wrapped around the base timber ships with waterproof materials and rowing boats with the skin. The addition of van Drebbel made air tube to provide oxygen. Made his first trip with 12 rowers on the River Thames. In these trials, the ship managed to dive as deep as 360-450 cm below the River Thames, London, for 2-3 hours.


The last model made van Drebbel had six oars and can accommodate 16 passengers. The ship was able to dive for three hours and a clearance of up to 12-15 feet (4-5-meter) below the water surface. Track was started at Westminster to Greenwich commute. Submarine that looks like a cigar is made hydrodynamic shape. According to van Drebbel, the hydrodynamic resistance can be reduced when drowned. That way, the ship can sink seamlessly. The submarine has a speed of about 18 km / h. At present the findings of van Drebbel submarine was developed for military purposes. Primarily as submarine warfare. It is actually far from the desire Drebbel submarine when it was first made. He did not want to be a homemade submarine killer tool

When he lost his 12-year-old father who died in custody since the Japanese occupation army is considered a false accusation Dutch spy. Childhood bitterness and determination has led to important decisions that have aspirations to school on the island of Java for a better future, free from poverty and destitution.



Finally Dr. Ir. Ciputra back to school little late though. He was late because we are still in a state of war with the Dutch and Japanese. He entered the third grade elementary school in the village Bumbulan even though he was already 12 years old or nearly 4 years too late. When he was 16 years old graduated from junior high school and then went in Gorontalo and high school levels in Manado after it entered the ITB in Bandung majoring in architecture. Inhibited late but that does not mean not ..?



Dr adolescence education overall. Ir. Ciputra is a combination of academic education and non-academic, in the classroom and also outside the classroom. This is what can be called a school of life that makes a person grow into independent and intact. It is therefore not surprising that today he believes that good education is education that builds a whole person and a character is to build morale, encourage creativity and independent characters educate students.



Ciputra great works are so diverse, because almost all sub-sectors dijamahnya property. He now controls five business groups Jaya, Metropolitan, Pondok Indah, Bumi Serpong Damai, and Ciputra Development, each of which has a core business in the property sector. New urban projects are now a total of 11 pieces spread across Greater Jakarta, Surabaya, and in Vietnam with a total area covers 20,000 hectares. To-11 new town is the Earth Serpong Damai, Pantai Indah Kapuk, Puri Jaya, CitraRaya Nuance City Arts, City Park Bintaro Jaya, Pondok Indah, Beautiful Image, Garden City Metropolitan, CitraRaya Surabaya, Sidoarjo New Town, and Citra Westlake City in Hanoi, Vietnam. Commercial property projects, is also very classy and a trend setter in its field. Moreover, projects are also a magnet for growth in the surrounding area.


Ciputra pioneered a business trip since he was a student of architecture Bandung Institute of Technology. Together with Ismail Sofyan and Budi Brasali, college friends, around 1957 established PT Ciputra Notices Resources. Architect's third student, has been awarded a contract for the period was quite a job, compared to other similar companies. Projects they are working with, among others, a bank buildings in Banda Aceh. Ciputra in 1960 graduated from ITB. To Jakarta ... We've got to Jakarta, because there are many jobs, he told Islamil Sofyan and Budi Brasali. This decision is a milestone that determines the way of life Ciputra and his colleagues were. With the PT flag Perentjaja Djaja IPD, who was shot Ciputra prestigious project is the construction of berbelanjaan center in the region Monday. In many ways, Ciputra Jakarta is trying to meet the Governor at that time, Dr. R. Soemarno, to offer a proposal. Tit for tat. Meeting with Soemarno then followed up by establishing PT Jaya Development, after the first convened by President Soekarno.


After the shopping center Monday, Ciputra monumental project in the next Jaya Ancol Dreamland and Bintaro Jay. Through the company 40% owned by the government of Jakarta is Ciputra showed his class as well entrepreuneur reliable professional to pull existing resources into the power of big business. Jaya Group, founded in 1961 with capital of Rp. 10 million, now has total assets of about Rp. 5 trillion. With the support of lobbying capabilities, Ciputra gradually also developed outside the company network Jaya, namely



Metropolitan Group, Group Pondok Indah, Bumi Serpong Damai Group, and the last is the Ciputra Group. The total number of subsidiaries of the group of five over a hundred, as a subsidiary of the Group Jaya only 47 and a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Group of 54. On this, Ciputra jokingly said: If your child of ten, we can still remember the name of each. But if more than that, the numbers were even more difficult to remember.



Facility is the third element of the 10 factors that determine customer satisfaction. Consumers should be satisfied with the provision of public facilities and social amenities more. But the facility does not have to be built at once in the early stages of development. If the facility was built more direct, high prices will direct. It will not provide benefits to its first purchaser, but also a huge risk for the developer. Ciputra has stakes in five business groups (Group Jaya, Metropolitan Group, Group Pondoh Beautiful, Bumi Serpong Damai Group and Ciputra Group). Of five business groups, the Ciputra not cover that in fact he first put his loyalty to Jaya. First, because it is almost identical with Jaya. From here starts a business network properties. Since the company was formed in 1961, Ciputra sits in the ranks of directors for 35 years: the first 3 years as a director and 32 years as president, until he resigned in 1996 and became commissioner last active. Second, is the fact that after the government of Jakarta, Ciputra is the largest shareholder in Jaya.



PT Metropolitan Development is a company that in 1970 he forms with Ismail Sofyan, Budi Brasali, and several other partners. The third is a business group Ciputra Group Pondok Indah (PT Metropolitan Kencana) which is a joint venture between PT Metropolitan Development and PT K. Kencana Sudwikatmono and Sudono Salim's. This group, among others, developed the Pondok Indah Housing and Pantai Indah Kapuk. The fourth business group is PT Bumi Serpong Damai, which was founded early 1980's. The company is a consortium of 10 leading employers - such as Sudono Salim, Eka Tjipta Widjaja, Sudwikatmono, Ciputra Group Jaya - who develop projects Bumi Serpong Damai Independent Cities of 6,000 acres, BSD toll road project - Bintaro Pondok Indah, and Damai Indah golf course Golf.




Ciputra Group is the fifth business group. This business group originated from Indonesia PT Citra Habitat, which is recognized in early 1990 the entire stock and renamed the Ciputra Development (CD). Ciputra be dirutnya and sixth ranks of directors is filled by children and son-Ciputra. Ciputra Development latter growth was outstanding compared to four other business groups Ciputra. With the youngest age, it is the first CD to go public in the capital markets in March 1994. Just a few months later following Jaya Real Property. Total assets in December 1996 and the CD ranges from Rp. 2.85 billion, with earnings in the same year reached Rp. 131.44 billion.

Biography ~ Founder Michael Dell Dell, Inc.

Michael Dell is the founder of computer giant Dell, Inc.. Dell was born February 23, 1965, Houston, Texas, USA. One American businessman successful businessman, he's also a writer, known as the founder and CEO of Dell, Inc.. Michael Dell is the son of a orthodentist (physician specialists teeth straightening). He first started his computer project at age 15. At that time, out of curiosity she dismantle the new Apple II computer to see the components and tried to assemble again.

Michael Dell Biography

As a student of the University of Texas at Austin, Michael Dell started his computer business (originally called PC's Limited) in 1984 with initial capital of $ 1,000, part-time job dijalankanya. In the second half of his freshman year, Dell has been selling computers worth $ 80,000. He got out of college at age 19 to run the company full-time, finally went public in 1988. PC's Limited then changed its name to Dell Computer Corporation and eventually became Dell, Inc..

Dell products also has diversified from its core business. Currently, he not only sells personal computers (PCs), portable computer (laptop) or server computer, but also the storage medium (storage), printers, handheld computers, aka PDA, MP3 music players, televisions plus a variety of computer services. Dell said, "We established this business in student dormitories, my capital only 1000 U.S. dollars. Now Dell has turned into the biggest online computer retailer in the world. Dell's online sales via the Internet at an average of 30 million dollars per day. "

The main key of Dell's success is a unique innovations of the founder. He made the breakthrough that much different from what the computer companies at the time. Prospective buyers can order Dell computers directly to their liking via the telephone or the internet. They could put computer specs are willing to buy online. As a result, Dell does not need to store inventory or make investments that are too large. Actually by doing sales strategy, Dell has transformed his weakness into strength.
