In class theories such as Von Neumann – Bernays – Gödel set theory and Morse – Kelley set theory, there is a possible axiom called the axiom of global choice which is stronger than the axiom of choice for sets because it also applies to proper classes.

Samuel Morse received his first ever patent for the telegraph in 1847, at the old Beylerbeyi Palace ( the present Beylerbeyi Palace was built in 1861 – 1865 on the same location ) in Istanbul, which was issued by Sultan Abdülmecid who personally tested the new invention.

* 1953 – David Morse, American actor

Samuel Finley Breese Morse ( April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872 ) was an American contributor to the invention of a single-wire telegraph system based on European telegraphs, co-inventor of the Morse code, and an accomplished painter.

Morse was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, the first child of the pastor Jedidiah Morse ( 1761 – 1826 )— who was also a geographer — and Elizabeth Ann Finley Breese ( 1766 – 1828 ).

The years 1815 – 1825 marked significant growth in Morse ’ s paintings, as he sought to capture the essence of America ’ s culture and life.

Samuel Morse received a patent for the telegraph in 1847, at the old Beylerbeyi Palace ( the present Beylerbeyi Palace was built in 1861 – 1865 on the same location ) in Istanbul, which was issued by Sultan Abdülmecid who personally tested the new invention.

* Morse – Kelley set theory in the field of mathematics

If V is a standard model of ZFC and κ is an inaccessible in V, then: V < sub > κ </ sub > is one of the intended models of Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory ; and Def ( V < sub > κ </ sub >) is one of the intended models of Von Neumann – Bernays – Gödel set theory ; and V < sub > κ + 1 </ sub > is one of the intended models of Morse – Kelley set theory.

Slater, in his experimental and theoretical work on the magnetron ( key elements paralleled his prior work with self-consistent fields for atoms ) and on other topics at the Radiation Laboratory and at the Bell Laboratories did " more than any other person to provide the understanding requisite to progress in the microwave field ", in the words of Mervin Kelley, then head of Bell Labs, quoted by Morse.

This is not an axiom of infinity in the usual sense ; if Infinity does not hold, the closure of exists and has itself as its sole additional member ( it is certainly infinite ); the point of this axiom is that contains no additional elements at all, which boosts the theory from the strength of second order arithmetic to the strength of Morse – Kelley set theory with the proper class ordinal a weakly compact cardinal.

In the foundation of mathematics, Morse – Kelley set theory ( MK ) or Kelley – Morse set theory ( KM ) is a first order axiomatic set theory that is closely related to von Neumann – Bernays – Gödel set theory ( NBG ).

While von Neumann – Bernays – Gödel set theory restricts the bound variables in the schematic formula appearing in the axiom schema of Class Comprehension to range over sets alone, Morse – Kelley set theory allows these bound variables to range over proper classes as well as sets.

Morse – Kelley set theory is named after mathematicians John L. Kelley and Anthony Morse and was first set out in an appendix to Kelley's text book General Topology ( 1955 ), a graduate level introduction to topology.

Kelley himself referred to it as Skolem – Morse set theory, after Thoralf Skolem.

While von Neumann – Bernays – Gödel set theory is a conservative extension of Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory ( ZFC, the canonical set theory ) in the sense that a statement in the language of ZFC is provable in NBG if and only if it is provable in ZFC, Morse – Kelley set theory is a proper extension of ZFC.

Unlike von Neumann – Bernays – Gödel set theory, where the axiom schema of Class Comprehension can be replaced with finitely many of its instances, Morse – Kelley set theory cannot be finitely axiomatized.

The International Morse Code encodes the ISO basic Latin alphabet, some extra Latin letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals as standardized sequences of short and long signals called " dots " and " dashes ", or " dits " and " dahs ".

Allston arranged — with Morse's father — a three-year stay for painting study in England, and young Morse set sail with the older artist aboard the Lydia on July 15, 1811.

Witnessing various experiments with Jackson's electromagnet, Morse developed the concept of a single-wire telegraph, and The Gallery of the Louvre was set aside.

Morse, who often spent his winters at the Hacienda with his daughter and son-in-law, set a two-mile telegraph line connecting his son-in-law's Hacienda to their house in Arroyo.

According to his The New York Times obituary published on April 3, 1872, Morse received respectively the decoration of the Atiq Nishan-i-Iftikhar ( English: Order of Glory ) medal on wearer's right depicted in photo of Morse with medals, set in diamonds, from the Sultan Ahmad I ibn Mustafa of Turkey ( c. 1847 ), a golden snuff box containing the Prussian gold medal for scientific merit from the King of Prussia ( 1851 ); the Great Gold Medal of Arts and Sciences from the King of Württemberg ( 1852 ); and the Great Golden Medal of Science and Arts from Emperor of Austria ( 1855 ); a cross of Chevalier in the Légion d ' honneur from the Emperor of France ; the Cross of a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog from the King of Denmark ( 1856 ); the Cross of Knight Commander of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, from the Queen of Spain, besides being elected member of innumerable scientific and art societies in this States and other countries.

* The building is also seen in the Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis television series, set in Oxford.

A radio transceiver is set up, and the duo transmit words and Morse code across the world.

The company also produced the detective drama Inspector Morse in association with Zenith Productions, a production company originally set up to be an in-house subsidiary of Central specialising in high-cost filmed drama, but which in 1987 was sold to Carlton Communications, the company that eventually was to purchase Central itself.

In this setting, Morse theory gives a set of inequalities for alternating sums of Betti numbers in terms of a corresponding alternating sum of the number of critical points of a Morse function of a given index:

The Inspector Morse TV series ' production offices were based in the studios and, although the series was supposedly set in Oxford, several exterior locations ( banks, shops etc.

Morse is well-known enough outside his profession to have been mentioned in several British sketch shows: The Fast Show listed his name in a spoof set of credits ; and Big Train included a sketch about a rostrum cameraman driven mad by always being overshadowed by Ken Morse.

The television series Inspector Morse and Lewis are also set in Oxford.

Morse, who often spent his winters at the Hacienda with his daughter and son-in-law, set a two-mile telegraph line connecting his son-in-law's Hacienda to their house in Arroyo.

The Prouhet – Thue – Morse constant occurs as the angle of the Douady – Hubbard ray at the end of the sequence of western bulbs of the Mandelbrot set.

Morse theory is another branch of differential topology, in which topological information about a manifold is deduced from changes in the rank of the Jacobian of a function.
