The R-1 rocket ( NATO reporting name SS-1 Scunner , Soviet code name SA11 , GRAU index 8A11 ) was a tactical ballistic missile , the first manufactured in the Soviet Union , and closely based on the German V-2 rocket . The R-1 missile system entered into service in the Soviet Army on 28 November 1950. Deployed largely against NATO , it was never an effective strategic weapon. Nevertheless, production and launching of the R-1 gave the Soviets valuable experience which later enabled the USSR to construct its own much more capable rockets.
69-736: In 1945 the Soviets captured several key A-4 ( V-2 ) rocket production facilities, and also gained the services of some German scientists and engineers related to the project. In particular the Soviets gained control of the main V-2 manufacturing facility at Nordhausen . Under the supervision of the Special technical Commission (OTK) established by the Soviet Union to oversee rocketry operations in Germany, A-4s were assembled and studied. This prompted

To aid them in this endeavor, graduate students often work under the guidance of a mentor , usually a senior scientist, which may continue after the completion of their doctorates whereby they work as postdoctoral researchers . After the completion of their training, many scientists pursue careers in a variety of work settings and conditions. In 2017,

In 1793 Zhytomyr was incorporated into the Russian Empire , and in 1804 was named capital of the Volhynian Governorate. During a period of Ukrainian independence (1917-1920) in 1918, the city was the national capital of Ukrainian People's Republic for

Further experiments confirmed this effect, and Galvani was convinced that he was seeing the effects of what he called animal electricity, the life force within the muscles of the frog. At the University of Pavia , Galvani's colleague Alessandro Volta was able to reproduce the results, but was sceptical of Galvani's explanation. Lazzaro Spallanzani
414-625: A common term in the late 19th century in the United States and around the turn of the 20th century in Great Britain . By the twentieth century, the modern notion of science as a special brand of information about the world, practiced by a distinct group and pursued through a unique method, was essentially in place. Marie Curie became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and the first person to win it twice. Her efforts led to

Thus we might say, that as an Artist is a Musician, Painter, or Poet, a Scientist is a Mathematician, Physicist, or Naturalist. He also proposed the term physicist at the same time, as a counterpart to the French word physicien . Neither term gained wide acceptance until decades later; scientist became

Important economic activities of Zhytomyr include lumber milling, food processing, granite quarrying, metalworking, and

Jews formed nearly one-third of the 1861 population (13,299 of 40,564); thirty years later, they had somewhat outpaced the general growth of the city, with 24,062 Jews in a total population of 69,785. By 1891 there were three large synagogues and 46 smaller batei midrash . The proportion of Jews was much lower in the surrounding district of Zhytomyr than in

966-588: A profession, the scientist of today is widely recognized . However, there is no formal process to determine who is a scientist and who is not a scientist. Anyone can be a scientist in some sense. Some professions have legal requirements for their practice (e.g. licensure ) and some scientists are independent scientists meaning that they practice science on their own, but to practice science there are no known licensure requirements. In modern times, many professional scientists are trained in an academic setting (e.g., universities and research institutes ), mostly at

Scientists include experimentalists who mainly perform experiments to test hypotheses, and theoreticians who mainly develop models to explain existing data and predict new results. There is a continuum between two activities and

This development was largely in service of the upcoming R-2 (missile) , a rocket with the same payload and twice the range of the R-1. Even after adoption by the Soviet military, reliability of the R-1 remained problematic. The R-1's insulated electrical wiring attracted vermin . In one January 1953 incident, thousands of flood-displaced mice disabled many rockets by eating
1311-456: A widely regarded prestigious award, is awarded annually to those who have achieved scientific advances in the fields of medicine , physics , and chemistry . Some scientists have a desire to apply scientific knowledge for the benefit of people's health, the nations, the world, nature, or industries (academic scientist and industrial scientist ). Scientists tend to be less motivated by direct financial reward for their work than other careers. As

Until the late 19th or early 20th century, scientists were still referred to as " natural philosophers " or "men of science". English philosopher and historian of science William Whewell coined

Knowledge of plants and animals was broadly the province of physicians. Science in medieval Islam generated some new modes of developing natural knowledge, although still within the bounds of existing social roles such as philosopher and mathematician.

Many of these early polymaths were also religious priests and theologians : for example, Alhazen and al-Biruni were mutakallimiin ; the physician Avicenna was a hafiz ; the physician Ibn al-Nafis was a hafiz, muhaddith and ulema ; the botanist Otto Brunfels
1794-505: The Roman Empire and, with the spread of Christianity , became closely linked to religious institutions in most European countries. Astrology and astronomy became an important area of knowledge, and the role of astronomer/astrologer developed with the support of political and religious patronage . By the time of the medieval university system, knowledge was divided into the trivium —philosophy, including natural philosophy —and

It was not until the 19th century that sufficient socioeconomic changes had occurred for scientists to emerge as a major profession. Knowledge about nature in classical antiquity was pursued by many kinds of scholars. Greek contributions to science—including works of geometry and mathematical astronomy, early accounts of biological processes and catalogs of plants and animals, and theories of knowledge and learning—were produced by philosophers and physicians , as well as practitioners of various trades. These roles, and their associations with scientific knowledge, spread with

Other motivations are recognition by their peers and prestige. The Nobel Prize ,

This was traced, in 1954, to heating of the TNT warhead, evaporation of which caused the payload housing to rupture, which in turn, detonated the warhead. This issue was solved in the R-2 and later Soviet rockets through
