Meet Israel’s father of data compression

Meet Israel’s father of data compression

The most recent accolade garnered by the 78-year-old Israeli innovator of data compression was the Information and Communication Technologies Award of the BBVA Foundation – with a cash prize of 400,000 euros, or more than half a million dollars.Thanks to his adolescent inquisitiveness, the future electrical engineer almost didn’t make it to 18, let alone 78. He tells ISRAEL21c that as a young teen he was fascinated with his Russian-born father’s book on Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the wireless transmitter.“I didn’t know a word of Russian, but using a dictionary, I translated the story about Marconi word for word and I was naive enough to think I could build my own transmitter,” he says. “When my parents left the house one day, I plugged it in and I got quite a shock.”...

Jacob Bernoulli's analyses of the Funicularia problem

tandfonline.com

Jacob Bernoulli's entries about mechanics in his scientific notebook, the ‘Meditationes’, reveal new facts about the history of the catenary curve. Bernoulli's analyses show that the catenaria, velaria, lintearia and elastica curves together form a family of curves, which I will refer to as the funicularia family. Attending to the history of the whole family of these curves provides remarkable insights into the origin of the catenary problem and the process of its discovery. Studying the ‘Meditationes’ together with Bernoulli's correspondence and publications shows how analysis ...

Young Israeli makes impressive debut at Miami Piano Festival

southfloridaclassicalreview.com

Some artists select safe programs for debut recitals but the 21-year-old Israeli pianist Ariel Lanyi opted for more daring choices in his South Florida bow Sunday night at the Colony Theater in Miami Beach, presented by the Miami International Piano Festival. Masterworks by Haydn and Beethoven were coupled with Schumann’s rarely played Sonata in F-sharp minor. The Schumann is a technical minefield and a difficult work to bring off, challenging both the pianist’s command of the instrument and interpretive powers....
