Summary
This study examines Nobel Prize nominations by and for Karl Sudhoff between 1918-1923. It reveals insights into the professional relationships among leading medical historians during the post-war era.
Area of Science:
- Medical History
- Historiography of Science
Background:
- This research analyzes Nobel Prize nomination files for Karl Sudhoff (1918-1923) from the Nobel Archive in Solna, Sweden.
- It investigates nominations made by Sudhoff and nominations he received from prominent figures like Max Cloetta and Max Neuburger.
Discussion:
- The paper explores the network of leading medical historians in the interwar period.
- It highlights the dynamics and relationships within the field, as evidenced by nomination correspondence.
Key Insights:
- None of the nominations discussed resulted in a Nobel Prize.
- The nomination letters provide valuable insights into the social and professional connections among historians of medicine.
Outlook:
- This work contributes to understanding the construction and recognition of scientific excellence.
- Further research can explore other nomination patterns to map scientific influence.

03:02The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule
79.4K
To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the...

Colligative Properties of Electrolytes
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...

02:44Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide
13.4K
Alkenes are converted to 1,2-diols or glycols through a process called dihydroxylation. It involves the addition of two hydroxyl groups across the double bond with two different stereochemical approaches, namely anti and syn. Dihydroxylation using osmium tetroxide progresses with syn stereochemistry.

01:07The DNA Helix
31.6K
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the genetic material responsible for passing traits from generation to generation in all organisms and most viruses. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides that wind around each other to form a spring-like structure called a double helix. However, the double helix is not perfectly symmetrical. Instead, there are regularly occurring grooves in the structure. The major groove occurs where the sugar-phosphate backbones are relatively far apart. This space...

01:27Otto and Diesel Cycle
4.4K
An Otto engine is a four-stroke engine that uses a mixture of gasoline and air as the working fuel. The fuel is injected into the cylinder, and the piston is moved completely down so that the cylinder is at maximum volume. By moving the piston up, adiabatic compression takes place. The spark plug ignites the gasoline-air mixture, and the burning fuel adds heat to the system at a constant volume. The heated mixture expands adiabatically and gets further cooled by exhausting heat, and this cyclic...
