    Nota d'uso
    Una frase come chiedi a qualcuno se può aiutarci si può tradurre in inglese con:
    3) Ask someone if s/he can help us;
    La 1) è spesso considerata sessista perché usa soltanto il pronome maschile he; la 2) è comune, ma può risultare goffa e pesante; la 3) è possibile solo nella lingua scritta; la 4), benché ritenuta da alcuni scorretta perché fa concordare un pronome singolare ( someone) con uno plurale ( they), corrisponde in realtà a un uso radicato da secoli nella lingua inglese, che di recente si è ulteriormente diffuso in parte sotto la spinta della nuova sensibilità contraria all'uso sessista del linguaggio.
    Possono concordare con they (e them, their, theirs):
    a i pronomi indefiniti ( somebody, someone, everybody, everyone, anybody, anyone, nobody, no one, none, whoever): Anyone can register, provided that they have a degree, chiunque può iscriversi, purché sia laureato; Everybody should do their duty, ognuno dovrebbe fare il proprio dovere;
    b la parola person: Lecturing a depressed person is not the most effective way to help them, fare la predica a una persona depressa non è il modo più efficace per aiutarla;
    c i pronomi either e neither e tutti i nomi singolari quando siano preceduti da each, every, either, neither, no, any: Neither man lifted their head, nessuno dei due uomini sollevò il capo; Every child needs to know that they are loved, ogni bambino ha bisogno di sapere che è amato;
    d i nomi singolari che, nel contesto, possono riferirsi indifferentemente a una donna o a un uomo: If your best friend knew that, what would they do?, se il vostro migliore amico o la vostra migliore amica lo sapesse, che cosa farebbe?

  • 86 McNaught, William

    [br]
    b. 27 May 1813 Sneddon, Paisley, Scotland
    d. 8 January 1881 Manchester, England
    [br]
    Scottish patentee of a very successful form of compounding beam engine with a high-pressure cylinder between the fulcrum of the beam and the connecting rod.
    [br]
    Although born in Paisley, McNaught was educated in Glasgow where his parents had moved in 1820. He followed in his father's footsteps and became an engineer through an apprenticeship with Robert Napier at the Vulcan Works, Washington Street, Glasgow. He also attended science classes at the Andersonian University in the evenings and showed such competence that at the age of 19 he was offered the position of being in charge of the Fort-Gloster Mills on the Hoogly river in India. He remained there for four years until 1836, when he returned to Scotland because the climate was affecting his health.
    His father had added the revolving cylinder to the steam engine indicator, and this greatly simplified and extended its use. In 1838 William joined him in the business of manufacturing these indicators at Robertson Street, Glasgow. While advising textile manufacturers on the use of the indicator, he realized the need for more powerful, smoother-running and economical steam engines. He provided the answer by placing a high-pressure cylinder midway between the fulcrum of the beam and the connecting rod on an ordinary beam engine. The original cylinder was retained to act as the low-pressure cylinder of what became a compound engine. This layout not only reduced the pressures on the bearing surfaces and gave a smoother-running engine, which was one of McNaught's aims, but he probably did not anticipate just how much more economical his engines would be; they often gave a saving of fuel up to 40 per cent. This was because the steam pipe connecting the two cylinders acted as a receiver, something lacking in the Woolf compound, which enabled the steam to be expanded properly in both cylinders. McNaught took out his patent in 1845, and in 1849 he had to move to Manchester because his orders in Lancashire were so numerous and the scope was much greater there than in Glasgow. He took out further patents for equalizing the stress on the working parts, but none was as important as his original one, which was claimed to have been one of the greatest improvements since the steam engine left the hands of James Watt. He was one of the original promoters of the Boiler Insurance and Steam Power Company and was elected Chairman in 1865, a position he retained until a short time before his death.

  • 87 Papin, Denis

    [br]
    b. 22 August 1647 Blois, Loire et Cher, France
    d. 1712 London, England
    [br]
    French mathematician and physicist, inventor of the pressure-cooker.
    [br]
    Largely educated by his father, he worked for some time for Huygens at Ley den, then for a time in London where he assisted Robert Boyle with his experiments on the air pump. He supposedly invented the double-acting air pump. He travelled to Venice and worked there for a time, but was back in London in 1684 before taking up the position of Professor of Mathematics at the University of Marburg (in 1669 or 1670 he became a Doctor of Medicine at Angers), where he remained from 1687 to 1695. Then followed a period at Cassel, where he was employed by the Duke of Hesse. In this capacity he was much involved in the application of steam-power to pumping water for the Duke's garden fountains. Papin finally returned to London in 1707. He is best known for his "digester", none other than the domestic pressure-cooker. John Evelyn describes it in his diary (12 April 1682): "I went this Afternoone to a Supper, with severall of the R.Society, which was all dressed (both fish and flesh) in Monsieur Papins Digestorie; by which the hardest bones of Biefe itself, \& Mutton, were without water, or other liquor, \& with less than 8 ounces of Coales made as soft as Cheeze, produc'd an incredible quantity of Gravie…. This Philosophical Supper raised much mirth among us, \& exceedingly pleased all the Companie." The pressure-cooker depends on the increase in the boiling point of water with increase of pressure. To avoid the risk of the vessel exploding, Papin devised a weight-loaded lever-type safety valve.
    There are those who would claim that Papin preceded Newcomen as the true inventor of the steam engine. There is no doubt that as early as 1690 Papin had the idea of an atmospheric engine, in which a piston in a cylinder is forced upwards by expanding steam and then returned by the weight of the atmosphere upon the piston, but he lacked practical engineering skill such as was necessary to put theory into practice. The story is told of his last trip from Cassel, when returning to England. It is said that he built his own steamboat, intending to make the whole journey by this means, ending with a triumphal journey up the Thames. However, boatmen on the river Weser, thinking that the steamboat threatened their livelihood, attacked it and broke it up. Papin had to travel by more orthodox means. Papin is said to have co-operated with Thomas Savery in the development of the lat-ter's steam engine, on which he was working c. 1705.
