Matthew Luckiesh DSc, DE, (September 14, 1883 Maquoketa, Iowa–November 2, 1967 Shaker Heights, Ohio) was a physicist and, as the Director of General Electric's Lighting Research Laboratory at its Nela Park National Lamps Works facility in East Cleveland, Ohio, he pursued research on light and vision. In his day, he was known as the "Father of the Science of Seeing."〔 Luckiesh developed several theories on color and its physiological effect on people. He was also interested in determining the conditions under which optimal visibility was achieved, and in examining the relationship between light and seeing, in order to design better types of lamps. During World War I he studied camouflage, and later invented artificial sunlight and germicidal lamps. Luckiesh produced eleven U.S. patents, 28 books and about 860 scientific and technical articles, published between 1911 and 1960. Asked how to say his name, he told ''The Literary Digest'' "My name is pronounced as if it were spelled ''loo'kish''. The ''u'' in the first syllable is the ''u'' in ''rude'', and the second syllable rimes with ''dish''."〔Charles Earle Funk, ''What's the Name, Please?'', Funk & Wagnalls, 1936.〕 ==Early life and family== After growing up in Cleveland and attending universities in Iowa, Luckiesh returned to Cleveland to start work for the General Electric, Lamp Division in 1910.〔 Luckiesh was married with two daughters and was a Roman Catholic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matthew Luckiesh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
