FOWLER, in presenting to the public the Tenth Edition of the Directory, returns his sincere thanks to those who have supported the "Work since its commencement. The Publisher has now been long aware, that in accuracy of de- tails and distinctness of arrangement the chief value of such a work consists ; for these reasons, he has in this, as in his former publications of the Work, both for the Town and County, spared neither labour nor expense in securing these. The Lists and Tables inserted in the appendixes will be found of the most useful description, and suitable not only to the Merchant and Trader, but to the Public generally—a Directory being not only a use- ful, but a highly necessary repository for enabling a commercial people to become acquainted with each other. The Public are respectfully requested, when Removals and change of Firms take place, to send early notice to the Publisher, that the Lists may be made up by the 1st of May ; —the Managers of those Institutions and Societies who wish them inserted in the Directory, will please send notice thereof to the Publisher, (for form see Direc- tory.) Such notices require to be accurate, as they are inserted VERBA TIM. As much delay and unnecessary trouble has been occasioned by Societies and other public bodies not giving in their lists, the Publisher intimates, that UNLESS the same be regularly forwarded, he will not be accountable for OMISSIONS. All Communications, post-paid, will be duly attended to. if^T Orders Received for every New Periodical Publication. Directory Office, 57, Canal Street, Paisley, 1841. BILXa CARD. 1841-42. 1841. JULY.

  • EXPLORING INFLAMMATION in REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE Saturday 27Th January 2018 Chancellor’S Building, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh
    EUOGS 4th National Undergraduate Conference: EXPLORING INFLAMMATION IN REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE Saturday 27th January 2018 Chancellor’s Building, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh 1 Welcome We are delighted to welcome you to EUOGS’ 4th National Undergraduate Conference! Our theme this year is “Exploring Inflammation in Reproductive Medicine”. Inflammation is an integral part of reproductive physiology, necessary for normal ovulation, menstruation and parturition. However, it also plays a sinister role in many reproductive pathologies, including preterm labour, miscarriage and pre-eclampsia; and targetting inflammation may be one strategy in the management of these conditions. Thus, we believe it is a fascinating area of O&G, and are excited to welcome numerous accomplished speakers to better understand this field. We are also fortunate to welcome many gifted students presenting their own innovative research, and will be hosting several workshops exploring a variety of essential O&G skills. Therefore we encourage you to make the most of the opportunities available today; be curious, ask questions, take part, and most importantly – have fun! We hope that what you learn today may strengthen your passion for O&G. Best wishes, Amanda Leow (President) Lily Hua (Vice President) Nazia Zahed, Amy Shearer (Conference team) 2 Programme TIME TOPIC VENUE 09.00-09.15 Registration, refreshments Foyer 09.15-09.20 Welcome talk (EUOGS president) LT B 09.20-10.05 Abnormal menstrual bleeding: still an unmet clinical need.

    GENERIC LARGE CARDINALS AS AXIOMS MONROE ESKEW Abstract. We argue against Foreman’s proposal to settle the continuum hy- pothesis and other classical independent questions via the adoption of generic large cardinal axioms. Shortly after proving that the set of all real numbers has a strictly larger car- dinality than the set of integers, Cantor conjectured his Continuum Hypothesis (CH): that there is no set of a size strictly in between that of the integers and the real numbers [1]. A resolution of CH was the first problem on Hilbert’s famous list presented in 1900 [19]. G¨odel made a major advance by constructing a model of the Zermelo-Frankel (ZF) axioms for set theory in which the Axiom of Choice and CH both hold, starting from a model of ZF. This showed that the axiom system ZF, if consistent on its own, could not disprove Choice, and that ZF with Choice (ZFC), a system which suffices to formalize the methods of ordinary mathematics, could not disprove CH [16]. It remained unknown at the time whether models of ZFC could be found in which CH was false, but G¨odel began to suspect that this was possible, and hence that CH could not be settled on the basis of the normal methods of mathematics. G¨odel remained hopeful, however, that new mathemati- cal axioms known as “large cardinals” might be able to give a definitive answer on CH [17]. The independence of CH from ZFC was finally solved by Cohen’s invention of the method of forcing [2]. Cohen’s method showed that ZFC could not prove CH either, and in fact could not put any kind of bound on the possible number of cardinals between the sizes of the integers and the reals.

  • The Carlyle Society Papers
    THE CARLYLE SOCIETY SESSION 2013-2014 OCCASIONAL PAPERS 26 • Edinburgh 2013 1 2 President’s Letter 2013-14 will be a year of changes for the Carlyle Society of Edinburgh. Those of you who receive notification of meetings by email will already have had the news that, after many years, we are leaving 11 Buccleuch Place. We have enjoyed the hospitality of Lifelong Learning for decades but they, too, are moving. So we are meeting – for this year – in the seminar room on the first floor of 18 Buccleuch Place. There is one flight of stairs (I used it for decades! It’s not bad) and we will be comfortably housed there. Usual time. The Carlyle Letters are moving steadily towards the completion of the correspondence of Thomas and Jane; with Jane’s death in 1866 we will have published all the known letters between them, and we plan to tidy off the process with some papers from the months immediately following her death, and papers more recently come to light, namely volumes 43-44. The Carlyle Letters Online are also moving steadily to catch up with the published volumes. Volume 40 was celebrated with a public lecture in Autumn 2012; volume 41 will appear in printed form in about a month’s time, and the materials for volume 42 will be going to Duke in about a week’s time from when these words are written. We are grateful to the English Literature department for access to our new premises in 18 Buccleuch Place; to Andy Laycock of the University’s printing department for Herculean efforts with our annual papers; to those members who now accept their annual mailing in electronic form, a huge saving in time and money.

  • A NEW L¨OWENHEIM-SKOLEM THEOREM 1. Introduction The
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 357, Number 5, Pages 1693–1715 S 0002-9947(04)03445-2 Article electronically published on December 16, 2004 ANEWLOWENHEIM-SKOLEM¨ THEOREM MATTHEW FOREMAN AND STEVO TODORCEVIC Abstract. This paper establishes a refinement of the classical L¨owenheim- Skolem theorem. The main result shows that any first order structure has a countable elementary substructure with strong second order properties. Sev- eral consequences for Singular Cardinals Combinatorics are deduced from this. 1. Introduction The L¨owenheim-Skolem Theorem [21] is one of the classical and formative results of first order logic. Its consequences have been important technically in the devel- opment of Model Theory, Set Theory and interesting from the point of view of the Philosophy of Mathematics [16]. In this paper we improve the L¨owenheim-Skolem Theorem and deduce important combinatorial consequences from the stronger ver- sion. There have been many attempts to improve and generalize properties of first order logic to stronger logics. The literature is much too large to survey here. One property that defines first order logic is the fact that every infinite structure in a countable language has a countable elementary substructure. This is not true of many stronger logics such as second order logic. In particular, in the classical L¨owenheim-Skolem theorem, one has no control over the second order properties of the elementary substructure. In this paper we prove that if one fixes in advance a collection of “intervals” around each point in a particular domain κ (e.g. a club guessing ladder system), then for all real numbers r and all structures A with domain κ, there is a countable elementary substructure of A that has non-empty intersection with exactly those intervals specified by r.

  • 1 Lessons and Interdisciplinary Projects That Explore Reasons For
    Lessons and Interdisciplinary Projects That Explore Reasons for Migration and the Experience of Immigrants to the United States Members of the Hofstra University New Teachers Network teach in New York City and suburban Long Island middle schools and high schools. Most participants in the group work in schools where a significant number of students are immigrants to the United States or the children of immigrants. Because of this, the experience of immigrants to the United States plays a major role in their curricula, especially in social studies and English. They developed the following lessons and projects collaboratively with colleagues in their schools and at monthly network meetings. Michael Pezone and Joseph Spero teach Social Studies and English at Junior High School 190 in Queens, New York. It is one of most ethnically diverse schools in New York City, with students whose families come from India, Pakistan, China, the Middle East, the Philippines, Africa, the former Soviet Union, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Even the students who identify themselves as American usually have ancestors who migrated to the United States in the early twentieth century. Because of the nature of the student body, and their belief that young people should be able to see themselves in history and literature, Michael and Joseph make an examination of the immigrant experience in the United States a central feature of the curriculum. Projects in their classes include student presentations of artifacts that their families retain from their original cultures. Over the years, students have presented and discussed articles of clothing, money and stamps, eating and cooking utensils, religious paraphernalia, photographs, and different types of food.

  • Potent Axioms by Matthew Foreman
    TRANSACTIONS of the AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 294, Number 1, March 1986 POTENT AXIOMS BY MATTHEW FOREMAN Abstract. This paper suggests alternatives to the ordinary large cardinal axioms of set theory. These axioms can be viewed as generalizations of large cardinals and exhibit many of the same phenomena. They are shown to imply the G.C.H., every set of reals in L(R) is Lebesgue measurable, and various results in combinatorics, algebra and model theory. Potent axioms. A great number of mathematical conjectures have been shown to be independent of the ordinary axioms of Zermelo-Frankel set theory with the axiom of choice. They include propositions from virtually every area of mathematics, including analysis [W], algebra [Sh2], topology and combinatorics. Apparently the only way of settling these questions is to strengthen ZFC with natural axioms that answer these questions. Two major axiom systems have been proposed; determinacy axioms and large cardinal axioms. They have been successful to a large extent but have not answered many crucial questions such as the continuum hypothesis. This paper proposes a line of axioms that can be viewed as generalizations of large cardinal axioms. It is shown that they settle the G.CH. (positively) as well as several classical questions in set theory. It is shown that they form a strict hierarchy in consistency strength, and a hueristic argument is given to show that they may be stronger in consistency strength than ordinary large cardinal axioms. The author conjectures that they imply de- terminacy axioms. Large cardinal axioms generally are equivalent to the existence of monomor- phisms j from V (the mathematical universe) into a transitive class M.
