  Macedonio Melloni - LoveToKnow 1911
MACEDONIO MELLONI (1798-1854), Italian physicist, was born at Parma on the nth of April 1798.
Melloni received the Rumford medal of the Royal Society in 1834.
Melloni's reputation as a physicist rests especially on his discoveries in radiant heat, made with the aid of the thermomultiplier or combination of thermopile and galvanometer, which, soon after the discovery of thermoelectricity by T. Seebeck, was employed by him jointly with L. Nobili in 1831.

 The history of the Vesuvius Observatory
A renowned physicist of the period, Macedonio Melloni, was appointed Director.
Melloni was a man of liberal ideas and it was because of this that he lost his position at the University of Parma where he taught physics.
Melloni was still suspected of republican sympathies and fraternisation and fell into disgrace at court and was removed from the Directorship on 6 November 1849.

Melloni fu uno tra gli scienziati più illustri dell'Ottocento, uno sperimentatore molto accurato che riuscì a far conoscere e a far accettare dalla comunità scientifica internazionale le sue idee innovatrici, riuscendo a superare le grosse difficoltà che gli derivarono dalle sue ardenti prese di posizione per la Patria italiana.
Melloni sistemò gli strumenti su di un apposito sostegno graduato, dove su mensoline scorrevoli poteva interporre varie sostanze e collocare su di un braccio girevole diverse sorgenti di calore.
Melloni oltre a studiare i fenomeni meteorologici e vulcanici, continuò a studiare l'infrarosso e pubblicare le sue ricerche in numerosi articoli: è del 1842 il famoso esperimento che misurava il calore irradiato dalla Luna.

Macedonio Melloni can be counted among the greatest Italian physicists of the early nineteenth century.
In 1839 Melloni moved to Naples upon invitation of King Ferdinand II di Borbone to run the Meterological and Vesuvio Observatory, which had not yet been set up, as well as the Arts and Crafts School.
The instruments he used in the course of his research in Naples are still kept in the Physics Museum at the Federico II University of Naples.

 Directors of the Vesuvius Observatory
Melloni was removed from public duty after his involvement in the Republican demonstrations of 1848.
However, because of his scientfiic merit, he was granted exile in Portici at Villa Moretta, and he devoted the long period he spent there to furthering his studies into the properties of radiant energy and he achieved significant results.
The instrument is described in detail in a manuscript which Melloni wanted to present at the Congress of the Naples Academy of Science.

L'altra novità di rilievo introdotta da Melloni nei suoi esperimenti sulla natura del calore raggiante, fu rappresentata dalla sostituzione dell'usuale termometro con quello che lo scienziato chiamò termomoltiplicatore.
Dapprima Melloni fece incidere la radiazione proveniente da una sorgente L sulla faccia annerita, non rilevando alcuno spostamento del sensibilissimo ago del galvanometro, e in seguito ripeté l'esperienza per la faccia bianca.
on una coppia di tormaline, Melloni misurò la quantità di calore da esse trasmessa al variare della posizione reciproca degli assi dei due cristalli, trovando che quando questi sono incrociati si perde una frazione sensibile del calore trasmesso, massima quando gli assi sono invece paralleli, a dimostrazione dell'esistenza del fenomeno della polarizzazione.

Direttore Melloni tenne il discorso d’apertura, tracciando il programma relativo all'attività dell'Osservatorio, giudicato completo dagli studiosi, e che è sempre stato il programma basilare dell'Osservatorio, poiché tut­ti i successivi Direttori lo hanno sostanzialmente seguito.
Ma vennero i moti del 15 maggio 1848 ed il Melloni, poiché era amico di alcuni liberali, di cui condivideva le idee, venne destituito dalle cariche, nel 1849, per ordine del Re e così l'Osservatorio rimase privo del Direttore e abbandonato per anni (almeno fino al 1855, tranne per qualche visita del Palmieri dal 1852).
Le autorità competenti, dopo la destituzione del Melloni, uno dei maggiori fisici di quei tempi, pensarono che l'Osservatorio, completamente abbando­nato e abitazione di gufi e pipistrelli, fosse ormai inutile e volevano addirittura affittarne o venderne i locali.

Through his later experiments, Herschel was aware of the limited transparency of glass to the newly-discovered thermal radiation, and he was forced to conclude that optics for the infrared would probably be doomed to the use of reflective elements exclusively (i.e.
Fortunately, this proved to be true only until 1830, when the Italian investigator, Melloni, made his great discovery that naturally occurring rock salt (NaCI) - which was available in large enough natural crystals to be made into lenses and prisms - is remarkably transparent to the infrared.
Then a breakthrough occurred; Melloni connected a number of thermocouples in series to form the first thermopile.

 Macedonio Melloni: studio della radiazione infrarossa
Nobili si rivolse verso altri campi di ricerca, lasciando al Melloni il compito di proseguire le indagini sulle proprietà del calore radiante.
ebbene ai tempi di Melloni fossero già note alcune importanti proprietà del calore radiante (quali la propagazione in linea retta, la capacità di essere riflesso da superfici metalliche e di propagarsi anche in assenza di aria), l'interpretazione dei fenomeni a esso legati era ancora abbastanza caotica.
Furono proprio le esperienze del Melloni a mostrare in modo definitivo l'identità fra radiazione termica, luminosa e chimica, in particolare con la scoperta (accanto alla riflessione, alla rifrazione e all'assorbimento selettivo) di un altro fenomeno comune alla radiazione "calorifica" e a quella "visibile": la polarizzazione.

Assessment of stool samples from 98 babies found a significantly higher number of fecal bifidobacteria in the prebiotic-fed infants compared with controls but no significant difference in lactobacilli counts, reported Guenther Boehm, M.D., of Numico Research here, a provider of funding for this study, and colleagues in Berlin, Italy, and The Netherlands.
Mothers and babies were seen at the Macedonio Melloni Maternity Hospital in Milan, and had a parental history of atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis, or asthma.
Breast feeding was recommended to all the mothers, the researchers said, and 53 infants left the trial because their mothers wanted to re-establish breast feeding.

Towards the second decade of the nineteenth century Seebeck discovered that when two different conductors are joined together at both ends with the two junctions kept at different temperatures, an electromotive force arises.
In this paper I discuss some technical properties of the thermopile used by Melloni in his early studies on radiant heat polarization; quantify in modern terms the behaviour of the thermopile; and solve an enigma concerning its sensitivity.

 Endometriosis and post surgical ovarian failure
While laparoscopic excision is still generally considered the first-line treatment for ovarian endometriomas, its effect on ovarian reserve has recently been questioned, especially in women with bilateral endometriotic cysts [2].
Mauro Busacca and his team from Ospedale Macedonio Melloni in Milano, Italy, contacted 126 patients who had been operated on for bilateral ovarian endometriosis between January 1995 and December 2003 and who were younger than 40 years at the time.
From these interviews they were able to determine a frequency of 2.6 percent of women (3 out of 126), who had experienced POF, with all cases occurring immediately after surgery.

Ferdinand II of Bourbon, king of the Two Sicilie from 1830 to 1859, on september 3 1841 gave start to the construction of the Meteorological Vesuviano Observatory, the first volcanologic observatory of the world.
The solemn building was inaugurated on september 28 1845 and delivered to the director, the famous physicist Macedonio Melloni, in March 1848.
The Vesuviano Observatory manages local sismic networks, among those the Vesuvio, the Flegrei Fields and Ischia, with the scope to watch the Neapolitan volcanic areas.

Placing a thermopile at the focus of a telescope, Melloni made the first sensible measurements of lunar heat.
Following Melloni's example, others turned thermopile-fitted telescopes on the moon, not out of interest in it as a celestial body, but to use it as a test source to gauge the heat-registering sensitivity of their instruments.
Although the law of sines gave investigators some measure of experimental control over the variables that influence refraction's behavior, refractive dispersion was more capricious, varying from prism to prism, and from color to color.

 Differential Thermopile
The Differential Thermopile was invented by Macedonio Melloni (1798-1854), an Italian physicist who worked in France and Italy.
Melloni's research dealt with thermal radiation, and he developed the thermopile to make quantitative measurements of the intensity of the radiation.
The construction can be seen in the two examples below, with the metals being bismuth and antimony.

Abstract: Macedonio Melloni (1798-1854) devoted his entire career to the study of the correlations between radiant heat and light.
The first account, which I call the interpretive collapse, is based on Melloni's own reconstruction of his research as reported in the 1850 La Thermochrose - a volume that arguably represents his most significant contribution, thanks both to its groundbreaking conclusions and to its impact on the scientific community of the time.
We argue that this was because he attempted and failed to build an intelligible causal model of the action of light to explain the observed patterns of heating and illumination.
