Our aims since 2008 have been to strengthen our research at the interfaces between Chemistry and other physical sciences, the life sciences and engineering. We have built upon our strong research base and have ensured the sustainability and vitality of our environment by the strategic allocation of resources, major investments in instrumentation and infrastructure to provide world-class facilities (see d), and by nurturing Early Career Researchers (ECRs, see c1). The School has exploited new research opportunities and driven national research priorities by engagement in EPSRC Portfolio Shaping, membership of SATs and boards of UK facilities (see e3). We have strengthened our knowledge exchange activities with industry (see e2) and the public to increase research impact, and have built critical mass in research and training (see e1).

  • History of the Pacific Islands Studies Program at the University of Hawaii: 1950-198
    HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS STUDIES PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII: 1950-198 by AGNES QUIGG Workinq Paper Series Pacific Islands Studies Program canters for Asian cmd Pacific Studies University of Hawaii at Manoa EDITOR'S OOTE The Pacific Islands Studies Program. often referred to as PIP, at the University of Hawaii had its beginnings in 1950. These were pre-statehood days. The university was still a small territorial institution (statehood came in 1959), and it is an understatement to say that the program had very humble origins. Subsequently, it has had a very checkered history and has gone through several distinct phases. These and the program's overall history are clearly described and well analyzed by Ms. Agnes Quigg. This working paper was originally submitted by Ms. Quigg as her M.A. thesis in Pacific Islands Studies. Ms. Quigg' is a librarian in the serials division. Hamnlton Library, University of Hawaii. Earlier in this decade, she played a crucial role in the organization of the microfilming of the archives of the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, Office of the High CommiSSioner, Saipan, Northern Marianas. The archives are now on file at Hamilton Library. Formerly, Ms. Quigg was a librarian for the Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu. R. C. Kiste Director Center for Pacific Islands Studies THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS STUDIES PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII: 1950-1986 By Agnes Quigg 1987 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to a number of people who have helped me to complete my story. Judith Hamnett aided immeasurably in my knowledge of the early years of PIP, when she graciously turned over her work covering PIP's first decade.

  • Chemical Bonding: the Journey from Miniature Hooks to Density Functional Theory
    molecules Review Chemical Bonding: The Journey from Miniature Hooks to Density Functional Theory Edwin C. Constable * and Catherine E. Housecroft Department of Chemistry, University of Basel, BPR 1096, Mattenstrasse 24a, CH-4058 Basel, Switzerland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +41-61-207-1001 Academic Editor: Antonio J. Mota Received: 10 May 2020; Accepted: 3 June 2020; Published: 5 June 2020 Abstract: Our modern understanding of chemistry is predicated upon bonding interactions between atoms and ions resulting in the assembly of all of the forms of matter that we encounter in our daily life. It was not always so. This review article traces the development of our understanding of bonding from prehistory, through the debates in the 19th century C.E. bearing on valence, to modern quantum chemical models and beyond. Keywords: bonding; valency; affinity, structure; history of science 1. Introduction Bonding is what separates chemistry from physics. If the understanding of atoms and their component particles belongs primarily to the realm of physics, then chemistry is concerned with the aggregation of atoms into chemical entities held together by bonds. If science is a language, and atoms are the letters, bonding is the mechanism by which the letters are combined into words. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) states that “there is a chemical bond between two atoms or groups of atoms in the case that the forces acting between them are such as to lead to the formation of an aggregate with sufficient stability to make it convenient for the chemist to consider it as an independent ‘molecular species’” [1].

Blackboard: Selected Readings Supplemental Optional Readings/Materials on reserve (see attached bibliography): Content: The early (prehistoric and pre-modern) colonization of the Pacific islands began as a slow migration process more than 50,000 years ago. The subsequent cultural patterns of adaptation to life on remote islands are revealed through archaeological evidence. In this class, a review of basic archaeological concepts provides a basis for formulating a regional frame- work for discussing the migrations and maritime cultural adaptations made by peoples moving into the Pacific and for clarifying their relationships to complex cultures in mainland Asia. In particular, the area of SE Asia and the Southwest Pacific provides an early cultural foundation, and out of this, a broad, later dispersal into the more remote eastern Pacific islands follows. Changing Pacific Island cultures in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (geographically, from Australia-New Guinea across the Pacific to Rapa Nui) are examined from the time of the earliest human settlement through the stages of complex society existing at the time of early Western contact.

    Yale University EliScholar – A Digital Platform for Scholarly Publishing at Yale Publications on Yale History Yale History 1-1961 Yale's Extracurricular & Social Organizations, 1780-1960 Loomis Havemeyer Follow this and additional works at: https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/yale_history_pubs r 1 YALE'S EXTRACURRICULAR & SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS Loomis Havemeyer January 1961 Foreword Since the eighteenth century there has grown up at Yale a vast number of societies, fraternities and clubs; students have always been great njoinersu. Some of these have lasted a long time and are impor- tant while others existed only a brief period and died, leaving, perhaps, only a name with no date available. In going through the old copies of the Banner the names of many of these latter appear only to be omitted in later issues and so we assume that they passed from the scene. A group might get together for some purpose, select a name, be recorded in the Banner, and then in a short time cease to exist. These we have not included for while they may have been important to the founders, they made no impression on the Yale scene. We have not in- cluded athletics or the preparatory school and state clubs that as a rule meet infrequently, perhaps for one dinner a year, and usually have an ephemeral existence. After months of research we have compiled a list of the more important extracurricular activities, giving, where possible, the date, when they first appeared and if they dropped out, the year. In some cases there are no adequate records and so we have resorted to ques- tion marks.
