...circulation and secretion. A man of great ingenuity, he invented the kymograph ( 1849 ), the mercurial blood pump ( 1859 ), the stream gauge ( 1867 ), and devised a method of maintaining the circulation in isolated organs ( 1865 ). Krogh, Schack August Steenberg ( 1874–1949 ). Danish physiologist . Krogh was appointed professor of zoological physiology in Copenhagen in 1908 . His researches included the chemical regulation of respiration, the pH of blood, the oxygen consumption of tissues, and the chemical changes in muscle. He is best known, however, for...

...pores in the septum and so great was his influence that this and other errors were stoutly upheld for the next 1400 years. The High Renaissance led to excellent work by Italian anatomists such as de Capri , Vesalius , Colombo , and Fabricius , who described coronary arteries and the valves in the veins. Circulation of the blood In 1628 came the outstandingly important discovery by William Harvey outlined in his book De motu cordis , of the circulation of the blood. By observations in living men showing the direction of blood flow in the veins, on...

...Christianity, the fall of the Church, and the errors of the Holy Trinity. His claim to scientific fame is his description of the pulmonary circulation, present in many manuscripts such as the Restitutio and written in Paris in 1546 . When Harvey was writing in 1628 the technical description of the main circulation in his De motu cordis he traveled to Padua to study Servet's writings. In numerous notes Servet discussed concepts as complex as the ‘tyranny of sex’, ‘the feeling of guilt’, ‘habit forming’, and ‘sociability’. Accused by Calvin as...

...museums. Founded in 1786 , Charles Willson Peale’s museum in Philadelphia displayed North American specimens, notably an American mastodon skeleton and an extensive collection of American birds. Ornithology was the most popular zoological tradition at this time, supported by networks of private collectors like Peale and the circulation of illustrated natural history works such as John James Audubon’s Birds of America ( 1827–1838 ). Chiefly self-trained, many American naturalists remained in step with their European counterparts, using natural theology and...

...been the embrace of an amorphous “spirituality” by large segments of the public, scientists and laypersons alike. In a recent study of “Religion among Academic Scientists,” the American sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund discovered that 34 percent of the nearly 1,700 scientists surveyed identified with atheism and 30 percent with agnosticism. (The contrasting figures for the general public were 2 and 4 percent, respectively.) The truly surprising finding was the high level of spirituality among scientists, with roughly two-thirds of them describing themselves...

...strategies may be required at certain time points to maintain the use of the technology. It is important to note, however, that some concerns have been raised in the use of wearable activity trackers for physical activity promotion ( Rich & Miah, 2017 ), which has implications for intervention design. It has been argued that such technologies focus on the outcome recorded rather than the behavior itself, which may reduce motivation for physical activity engagement and negatively impact health behaviors ( Kosma & Buchanan, 2018 ). In adolescents, ...
