    George W. Whitehead Jr. 1918–2004 A Biographical Memoir by Haynes R. Miller ©2015 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. GEORGE WILLIAM WHITEHEAD JR. August 2, 1918–April 12 , 2004 Elected to the NAS, 1972 Life George William Whitehead, Jr., was born in Bloomington, Ill., on August 2, 1918. Little is known about his family or early life. Whitehead received a BA from the University of Chicago in 1937, and continued at Chicago as a graduate student. The Chicago Mathematics Department was somewhat ingrown at that time, dominated by L. E. Dickson and Gilbert Bliss and exhibiting “a certain narrowness of focus: the calculus of variations, projective differential geometry, algebra and number theory were the main topics of interest.”1 It is possible that Whitehead’s interest in topology was stimulated by Saunders Mac Lane, who By Haynes R. Miller spent the 1937–38 academic year at the University of Chicago and was then in the early stages of his shift of interest from logic and algebra to topology. Of greater importance for Whitehead was the appearance of Norman Steenrod in Chicago. Steenrod had been attracted to topology by Raymond Wilder at the University of Michigan, received a PhD under Solomon Lefschetz in 1936, and remained at Princeton as an Instructor for another three years. He then served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago between 1939 and 1942 (at which point he moved to the University of Michigan).

  • Mothers in Science
    The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels. The academic career path has academic science environment. First, a quick look at the numbers a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, immediately shows that there are far fewer lectureship positions followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and than qualified candidates to fill them. Second, the mentors of early research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or career researchers are academic scientists who have successfully permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the made the transition to lectureships and beyond.

  • Academic Profiles of Conference Speakers
    Academic Profiles of Conference Speakers 1. Cavazza, Marta, Associate Professor of the History of Science in the Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione (University of Bologna) Professor Cavazza’s research interests encompass seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian scientific institutions, in particular those based in Bologna, with special attention to their relations with the main European cultural centers of the age, namely the Royal Society of London and the Academy of Sciences in Paris. She also focuses on the presence of women in eighteenth- century Italian scientific institutions and the Enlightenment debate on gender, culture and society. Most of Cavazza’s published works on these topics center on Laura Bassi (1711-1778), the first woman university professor at Bologna, thanks in large part to the patronage of Benedict XIV. She is currently involved in the organization of the rich program of events for the celebration of the third centenary of Bassi’s birth. Select publications include: Settecento inquieto: Alle origini dell’Istituto delle Scienze (Bologna: Il Mulino, 1990); “The Institute of science of Bologna and The Royal Society in the Eighteenth century”, Notes and Records of The Royal Society, 56 (2002), 1, pp. 3- 25; “Una donna nella repubblica degli scienziati: Laura Bassi e i suoi colleghi,” in Scienza a due voci, (Firenze: Leo Olschki, 2006); “From Tournefort to Linnaeus: The Slow Conversion of the Institute of Sciences of Bologna,” in Linnaeus in Italy: The Spread of a Revolution in Science, (Science History Publications/USA, 2007); “Innovazione e compromesso.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-13709-6 - MIMO Wireless Communications Ezio Biglieri, Robert Calderbank, Anthony Constantinides, Andrea Goldsmith, Arogyaswami paulraj and H. Vincent Poor Frontmatter More information MIMO Wireless Communications Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology constitutes a breakthrough in the design of wireless communication systems, and is already at the core of several wireless standards. Exploiting multi-path scattering, MIMO techniques deliver significant performance enhancements in terms of data transmission rate and interference reduction. This book is a detailed introduction to the analysis and design of MIMO wireless systems. Beginning with an overview of MIMO technology, the authors then examine the fundamental capacity limits of MIMO systems. Transmitter design, including precoding and space–time coding, is then treated in depth, and the book closes with two chapters devoted to receiver design. Written by a team of leading experts, the book blends theoretical analysis with physical insights, and highlights a range of key design challenges. It can be used as a textbook for advanced courses on wireless communications, and will also appeal to researchers and practitioners working on MIMO wireless systems. Ezio Biglieri is a professor in the Department of Technology at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. Robert Calderbank is a professor in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Mathematics at Princeton University, New Jersey. Anthony Constantinides is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London.
