ROBERTS, M.A. SOMETIME SCHOLAR OF PEMBROKE COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS 1921 [iv] [v] PREFACE As may be inferred from the title-page, this book has been written to mark the four hundredth anniversary of Cambridge printing. Of the original authorities used in its compilation the most valuable has been the large collection of documents relating to the Press which are preserved in the Registry of the University. Access to this collection has enabled me to glean some fresh information concerning the careers of the university printers and a series of accounts and vouchers from 1697 to 1742 has brought to light several new titles of books printed at Cambridge during that period. The making of this book, however, would not have been feasible, in the limited time at my disposal, had I not been free to use the work of the pioneers, from Christopher Wordsworth and Henry Bradshaw onwards, and the chief items of this work are recorded in the short bibliography on page xiii.

  • 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.

  • President's Message
    Winter Issue 2013–2014 SOT News President’s Message I’m starting this President’s message with a quiz!!! It’s just one question, but it’s important that everyone knows the answer. The question is: What do prenatal programming and toxicity, perfluorinalkyl acids ,and human relevance of hemangiosarcomas in rodents have in common? [the answer appears at the end of this message]. While you ponder the answer to that question, I want to reflect on events of this fall and focus on several activities of the Society during recent times of uncertainty. The shutdown of the US government had some effect on nearly all of us. Important meetings, study sections, and day-to- day professional discussion and dialog were all furloughed during this time. However, the most significant impact was on our members who are government employees, and we can only hope that these matters are completely behind us. Unfortunately, there were significant deadlines for SOT matters scheduled during this time, particularly for abstract submissions and award President nominations. Lois D. Lehman- McKeeman I want to specifically acknowledge the work of the Scientific Program and Awards Committees for showing remarkable flexibility in modifying deadlines to accommodate member needs. As a quick review, the Awards committee moved deadlines for nominations to the last possible minute—giving them only about 1 week to review all nominations prior to meeting to select award winners. The prestigious Society awards are central to celebrating member accomplishments, and the work of this committee, against their own time limitations, underscores their commitment to this important activity.

  • Solovay-Kitaev Theorem (Chapter3), and Were Somewhat Involved in Writing the Manuscript
    Topics in Computing with Quantum Oracles and Higher-Dimensional Many-Body Systems Imdad Sajjad Badruddin Sardharwalla Trinity College, University of Cambridge June 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the out- come of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or is being concurrently submitted, for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cam- bridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or is being concurrently submitted, for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the relevant Degree Committee. 2 Preface The material of this thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text or detailed below. The work in Sections 2.3–2.5 and Chapter3 was done jointly with T. Cubitt, A. Harrow and N. Linden, resulting in a paper under review in Phys. Rev. Lett. (arXiv:1602.07963 [quant-ph]). T. Cubitt, A. Harrow and N. Linden conceived the idea for qubit operators (Section 2.3) and the application to the Solovay-Kitaev Theorem (Chapter3), and were somewhat involved in writing the manuscript.

    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.
