Abstract:
During the winter of 1941-42, an epidemic of louse borne typhus fever spread over prisoners of war camps in Germany. As the protector of her own captive citizens, France sent a mission to Germany composed of Professor Lemierre and Major Sohier in order to inquire about the German's actions to protect the French prisoners from this disease.

Solenoids
A solenoid is a conducting wire coated with an insulating material, wound tightly in the form of a helical coil. The magnetic field for a solenoid is the vector sum of the magnetic field due to its individual turns. For an ideal solenoid, the magnetic field inside is almost uniform and parallel to the solenoid axis, while the magnetic field outside the solenoid is nearly zero.
Each turn in a solenoid can be approximated as a circular current carrying coil that generates a dipole moment. The...

Lagrange Multipliers: Problem Solving
A silo with a cylindrical base, flat bottom, and hemispherical roof is a common design in agricultural and industrial storage due to its structural efficiency and ease of construction. Optimizing its dimensions to maximize storage capacity for a given amount of material—i.e., a fixed surface area—is a classic problem in applied calculus and engineering design. The key parameters are the radius r of the base and the height h of the cylindrical section.The total volume of the silo is obtained by...
