Zusammenfassung Originally published in 1929, this is the second part of a two-volume set containing the collected papers of the theoretical physicist Joseph Larmour (1857–1942). The papers are presented in chronological order across the volumes, enabling readers to understand their theoretical development and framing them in an accessible form for 'future historical interests'. Inhaltsverzeichnis part III; part II; 61. On the intensity of the natural radiation from moving bodies and its mechanical reaction; 62. On the ascertained absence of effects of motion through the aether, in relation to the constitution of matter, and on the FitzGerald-Lorentz hypothesis; 63. Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839-1903); 64. On the dynamical significance of Kundt's law of selective dispersion, in connection with the transmission of the energy of trains of dispersive waves; 65. Note on the mechanics of the ascent of sap in trees; 66. On the constitution of natural radiation; 67. The irregular movement of the Earth's axis of rotation; part II; 69. On the range of freedom of electrons in metals; 70. Note on the pressure displacement of spectral lines; 71. The physical aspect of the atomic theory; 72. The relation of the Earth's free precesional nutation to its resistance against tidal deformation; 73. The kinetic image of a convected electric system formed in a conducting plane sheet; 74. The statistical and thermodynamical relations of radiant energy; 75. On the statistical theory of radiation; 76. William Thomson (Lord Kelvin).
