Stellar atmospheres - Study of high temperature in the reversing layers of stars

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin

Sinopsis

In "Stellar Atmospheres," Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin presents a groundbreaking exploration of stellar composition and the physical processes that govern the atmospheres of stars. Utilizing a meticulous blend of observational data and theoretical analysis, Payne-Gaposchkin elucidates the complex interplay of temperature, pressure, and chemical composition in shaping stellar properties. Characterized by its rigorous scientific methodology and fluid narrative style, the work is rooted in the early 20th-century context of astrophysics, when understanding the internal mechanics of stars was rapidly evolving. Her innovative approach not only challenges preconceived notions of stellar chemistry but also lays foundational principles that would influence future research in the field. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, an astute astrophysicist and the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Harvard, drew significantly from her experiences in a male-dominated academic landscape, where she faced considerable skepticism yet remained steadfast in her scientific inquiries. Her groundbreaking work emerged from a desire to unveil the secrets of the cosmos, and her insights into hydrogen's predominance in stellar atmospheres were revolutionary in the 1920s, reshaping our understanding of stellar evolution. "Stellar Atmospheres" is essential reading for anyone captivated by the workings of the universe. With its analytical depth and eloquent prose, this text not only broadens our comprehension of stellar phenomena but also serves as an inspiring testament to the resilience of a pioneering woman in science. Readers will find her exploration not only intellectually enriching but also deeply compelling.

African Artificial Intelligence...

Mark Nasila

Artificial intelligence (AI) is upending life, work, and play as we know it, and it's only just getting started. The rise of AI is a milestone on par with the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, and the creation of the internet. In short, AI is going to change everything. For some, that's an exciting prospect. For others, it's terrifying. However you feel about AI, there's no escaping it, whether you're in a global metropolis or a farmer in rural KwaZulu-Natal.
Dr Mark Nasila has been watching AI's ascent for over a decade, studying its effects on everything from agriculture and aviation to healthcare, education, entertainment, crime prevention, energy management, policy creation, finance, and anything in between, and applying them to his role at one of South Africa's most successful financial institutions, First National Bank, a division of FirstRand Group.
African Artificial Intelligence is a comprehensive and fascinating journey, tracing the rise of AI and its evolution into the emerging technology underpinning all others – from connected devices and smart chatbots to the metaverse. Mark combines unexpected use cases and tales of cutting-edge innovation with a unique and potent argument: harnessing AI to solve Africa's problems requires embracing it from an African perspective.
African nations can't afford to simply import AI solutions from afar. Instead, Mark contends, they need to rework, remix, and refine AI so it's able to meet uniquely African challenges in uniquely African ways, and to take advantage of the once-in-a-generation opportunity AI represents for every industry, sector, and person, everywhere.
