Berlin, Springer, 1934. 8vo. In contemporary halv cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In "Zeitschrift für Physik", Bd. 87, 1934. Entire volume offered. Stamp to front free end-paper and titlepage, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 633-46. [Entire volume: VIII, 822 pp.]. First printing of Wang's Ph.D thesis on beta decay spectrum under the supervision of Lise Meitner. Wang was one of the initiators of research in China in nuclear physics, cosmic rays and particle physics and figured among the top leaders, pioneers and scientists of the Chinese nuclear deterrent program. Wang (1907 - 1998), a nuclear physicist from China, went in 1930 to study at the University of Berlin in Germany. As soon as he arrived in Berlin, hearing the Bothe report relating the emission of a new type of high-energy neutral radiation which was non-ionizing but even more penetrating than the hardest gamma rays derived from radium, induced by the bombardment of beryllium with ? particles from a radioactive polonium source, therefore wrongly presumed to be gamma rays, Wang first suggested the use of a cloud chamber to study it. Lacking the support of his supervisor Lise Meitner, the experiment was nonetheless conducted one year later by the English physicist James Chadwick, thus discovering a new type of particle, the neutron, allowing him to win the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics.In 2000, the Chinese Physical Society established five prizes in recognition of five pioneers of modern physics in China. The Wang Ganchang Prize is awarded to physicists in particle physics and inertial confinement fusion.

New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1963. 8vo. Volume XLII, January, Number 1, 1963 of "The Bell System Technical Journal". In the original printed blue wrapper. Previous owner's stamp to front wrapper. Spine slightly discoulered and lower right corner slightly bumped. A nice and clean copy. Pp. 79-94. [Entire issue: 206 pp]. First publication of MacWilliams Identities, or the MacWilliams Equation, which became the starting point for a considerable amount of research in coding theory and cryptology by the Bell System. MacWilliams Identities are essentially a set of linear relations of weight distribution which specifies the number of words of each possible Hamming weight. The development of the MacWilliams Identities had profound influence in practical as well as theoretical cryptology. "Another major theoretical advance was F. J. MacWilliams's discovery in the 1962 [the present paper, published in January 1963] of a set of fundamental equations [now called the MacWilliams Identities] that any linear code must satisfy. These identities were the starting point for a considerable amount of research by MacWilliams, C. L. Mallows, N. J. A. Sloane, and others". (Millman, A History of Engineering & Science in the Bell System, 1984, p. 54)."MacWilliams (1917-1990) was a mathematician who contributed to the field of coding theory. She was born in Stoke-on-Trent, England and studied at the University of Cambridge, receiving her BA in 1938 and her MA in the following year. She spent most of her career at Bell Labs, where she worked on error-correcting codes and co-wrote The Theory of Error-Correcting Code with Neil Sloane."

It is often interpreted also as the probability of the coherent process, normalized to unity, with the difference between unity and the Debye Waller factor interpreted as the probability of incoherent processes.
