Tag der Tiefkühlkost

25.02.2013
Am 6. März ist der Tag der Tiefkühlkost - Clarence Birdseye

Hamburg (ots) - Kennen Sie eigentlich Clarence Birdseye? Der Amerikaner gilt als Vater der Tiefkühlkost, seit er 1912 hoch im Norden bei den Inuit den Grundstein für ein Gericht legte, das heute wirklich jeder kennt: die iglo Fischstäbchen. Auf einer seiner Expeditionen schaute sich der amerikanische Biologe eine Konservierungsmethode ab, bei der frisch gefangene Fische in der minus 40 Grad kalten Luft zum Gefrieren aufgehängt und so ganz natürlich haltbar gemacht werden. Besonders beeindruckte Birdseye, dass die Fische nach dem Auftauen genauso gut wie frische schmeckten - er führte es auf das schnelle Gefrieren durch besonders tiefe Temperaturen zurück. Wieder zu Hause entwickelte er eine Maschine, die diese Prinzipien aufgriff und mit der er Lebensmittel erstmals maschinell einfrieren konnte. Um so viel Innovationskraft zu würdigen, sind die iglo Schwestermarken Birds Eye in Großbritannien und USA noch heute nach dem amerikanischen Forscher benannt.

Und was hat nun der Tag der Tiefkühlkost mit Clarence Birdseye zu tun? Ihm zu Ehren wurde dieser kulinarische Feiertag 1984 eingeführt, denn am 6. März 1930 wurde in den USA das erste tiefgekühlte Gemüse unter dem Namen "Birds Eye Frosted Foods" verkauft. Mehr interessante Fakten rund um das Thema Tiefkühlkost finden Sie anlässlich des Tages der Tiefkühlkost hier.

Pi Day
Einsteins Geburtstag

Festtag der Mathematik: Ein 3,14159...-faches Hoch auf pi

Die Quellen widersprechen sich bei der Jahresangabe, doch entweder am 14. März 1987 oder am 14. März 1988 hob das Science Center Exploratorium in San Francisco den "Pi Day" aus der Taufe. Wie man weiß, setzen die Amerikaner statt "14.3." lieber "3-14" oder "3/14", und diese Ziffern decken sich mit dem Anfang der Dezimalschreibweise für die "Zahl pi".
...
Dies hielt schon in der Antike die Gelehrten nicht davon ab, über "pi" zu grübeln und Näherungswerte zu ermitteln. Die Bibel benutzt an zwei Stellen (1. Könige 7,23; 2. Chronik 4,2) den Wert "3", die alten Ägypter kamen wohl über die Geodäsie auf (16/9)**2 alias "3,16049", und im 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. lokalisierte Archimedes "pi" zwischen "3 10/71" und "3 1/7". Um 500 n. Chr. fand der chinesische Mathematiker Tsu Chung-Chi die gute und leicht zu merkende Abschätzung "355/113" = "3,14159..."

Nach der Erfindung der Differentialrechnung durch Isaac Newton und Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz konnte die Zahl "pi" durch unendliche Reihen charakterisiert werden.

So entwickelte Leibniz 1683 die Gleichung: p/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - ...

und Leonard Euler im 18. Jahrhundert: p²/6 = 1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16 + 1/25 + ...

Ebenso lässt sich "pi" mit Kettenbrüchen, Arcustangens-Werten und seit neuestem auch mit Fibonacci-Zahlen bestimmen.
...
Das Zentrum der deutschsprachigen Kreiszahlverehrung liegt in Wien, das nicht nur die Republik Kugelmugel, sondern auch die "Freunde der Zahl Pi" beherbergt. Die amtliche "pi-Hauptstadt" ist aber das Städtchen Forst in der Niederlausitz, das sich mit den Postleitzahlen "03141" und "03149" schmückt.
...
Für die Daheimbleibenden gibt es das "pi-Lied" von Kate Bush, diverse Songs zum Selbersingen sowie die wunderschöne Ballade von "Miss American Pi", die den Mathe-Freunden die Tränen in die Augen treibt. Und schon der Apostel Paulus schrieb im Kolosserbrief "3,14": "Vor allem aber liebt einander, denn die Liebe hält alles zusammen und macht es vollkommen."
(Ralf Bülow) / (jk/c't)

...
Und er machte ein Meer, gegossen von einem Rand zum andern zehn Ellen weit, rundumher, und fünf Ellen hoch, und eine Schnur dreißig Ellen lang war das Maß ringsum.
...

...
Und er machte ein gegossenes Meer, von einem Rand bis zum andern zehn Ellen weit, rundumher, und fünf Ellen hoch; und ein Maß von dreißig Ellen mochte es umher begreifen.

Über alles aber ziehet an die Liebe, die da ist das Band der Vollkommenheit.

National Biodiesel Day

"National Biodiesel Day" takes place on Thursday, March 18, the date of "Rudolf Diesel’s birthday". The biodiesel industry chose his birthday to honor him for his foresight in recognizing the valuable role of vegetable oil-based fuel. He originally designed the diesel engine in the late 19th Century to run on peanut oil. Only later did petroleum become the standard. In a 1912 speech, Diesel said "The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today, but such oils may become, in the course of time, as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time."

The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) is the national trade association representing the biodiesel industry as the coordinating body for research and development in the United States.
