(8), 83 pp. First appearance of Danish professor in medicine Carl Levy's on the usefulness of Russian baths. Professor, Dr. Med. Carl Edvard Marius Levy (sometimes spelled "Carl Eduard Marius Levy" or in foreign literature "Karl Edouard Marius Levy", September 10, 1808 - December 30, 1865) was professor and head of the Danish Maternity institution inCopenhagen (Fødsels- og Plejestiftelsen).Professor Carl Braun in Vienna said about the Copenhagen hospital, that "because this is the most appropriate and noteworthy newly constructed maternity hospital, in which every step has been taken to halt puerperal fever epidemics, we allow ourselves to estimate that in this new building under Levy's direction no puerperal fever epidemics will occur."Professor Levy was an outspoken critic of Ignaz Semmelweis' ideas, that childbed fever was an iatrogenic disease. Semmelweis theorized that decaying matter on the hands of doctors, who had recently conducted autopsies, was brought into contact with the genitials of birthgiving women during the medical examinations at the maternity clinic. Semmelweis proposed a radical hand washing theory using chlorinated lime, now a known disinfectant, and demonstrated dramatic reductions in mortality rates.

Stamp to front free end-paper and titlepage, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 729-49 [Entire volume: VIII, 838 pp.]. First German edition published the same year as the original ("Sulla teoria delle strutture iperfini", published in Reale acc. d'Italia, memorie cl. scienze fisiche 4 (1933)) of Fermi and Segré's important paper on hyperfine structure. In 1930 Fermi started to work on the hyperfine structure of spectra lines, a subject that he further developed in collaboration with Segrè in 1932-3, the present paper being his being his final on the subject.Hyperfine structures was the research area the initially caught Fermi's interest in physics: "At this time quantum mechanics had reached its full development; nonrelativistic problems, at least in principle, were soluble except for mathematical difficulties. In this sense atomic physics was showing signs of exhaustion, and one could expect the next really important advances to be in the study of the nucleus. Realizing this, Fermi decided to switch to nuclear physics. He initially investigated the theory of the hyperfine structure of the spectral lines and the nuclear magnetic momenta (FP no. 57), a suitable subject for making the transition from atomic to nuclear physics."

First appearance of Holtsmark's important paper in which he for the first time introduced his "Holtsmark Distribution". The Holtsmark distribution has applications in plasma physics and astrophysicsJ. Holtsmark proposed the distribution as a model for the fluctuating fields in plasma due to chaoticmotion of charged particles. It is also applicable to other types of Coulomb forces, in particular to modeling of gravitating bodies, and thus is important in astrophysics.
