Fields and Waves 50th Anniversary The classic textbook Fields and Waves in Modem Radio was first published in 1944. Now in its 5th edition published by John Wiley & Sons and titled Fields and Waves in Communication Electronics, the book continues to be the dominant text in the field. It is extremely rare for any book, let alone a technical one, to remain in demand for more than fifty years. The authors are Sim on Ramo. Lambda ’33, and John R. Whinnery and Theodore Van Duzer, of the University of California, Berkeley. Brother Ramo is one of the nation's leading experts on guided missiles. He played a key role in building the electronics and missile operations of Hughes Aircraft Company before founding in 1953 his own company which after a series of mergers became TRW Inc.

This brings the number o f active chapters to 32, more than at any time in the history o f the Fraternity. The event was historic also because it marked the beginning of the "Gamma series" of chapters following the Frater­ nity's system for naming chapters. This nomenclature was adopted some 60 years ago.

What Fraternity Means I did not understand fraternities. I would hang out with my friends, and we would mock the "frat boys" and their rounds of socials and formals and their silly rituals. Then, I saw a guy get up in front of two hundred fifty students and tell them of a new opportunity at Arizona State University. He told them that a national engineering fraternity was getting started here and how they could become involved with it. I watched as he and his companion trudged out to the room’s complete silence. "That takes courage," I thought. I soon noticed that the guy was at the food court every day with his friends. He was always with a crowd of people, not just some days, or with one or two others; he had friends wherever I saw him. Later, I saw him behind a city library information desk. I talked with him briefly, and he said that he had volunteered for community service. I thought, "I really respect that." I approached him about the Fraternity, and he told me of the rush meeting in a few days.

    1\idtard G'~aumhnff ~ource ..J~-:. ..:?.:.... ~ateJ?. ~l A Greater and Better SHIELD AND DIAMOND It has long been the opinion of the SHIELD AND DIAMOND staff that four issues a year were inadequate for a fraternity of the size and im­ portance of Pi Kappa Alpha. Because of a distinct aversion to increasing the financial burden of the chapters, but desiring to increase the number of issues of the SHIELD AND DIAMOND, the staff has worked out a publication schedule of five issues a year, in which the total cost of five numbers will not exceed the total cost of the four in the last volume. This will be accomplished by condensing strictly chapter news of m­ terest only to members of that chapter and using the chapter news notes in three issues instead of four. The five issue schedule adopted IS as follows: MOJiling Date Chapter News Due Featuring October 1 General news and fraternal topics November 15 October 15 Mid-term news and Fall sports January 15 December 15 New term news and Winter sports March 15 Fraternal subjects and articles May 15 April 15 Review of year and Spring sports In the opinion of the Grand Editor and his associates, the five issue plan is greatly to the interest and benefit of Pi Kappa Alpha, its active chapters and alumni subscribers. The schedule has many advantages. First, only a month and a half elapses between the two Fall issues, instead of two full months. The January issue comes just after chapters have reassembled following vacation, thus eliminating the for-mer gap of three months.

  • South Africa Chemical Chronology
    South Africa Chemical Chronology 2005-2000 | 1999-1990 | 1989-1896 Last update: April 2005 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation 2005-2000 28 January 2005 The United Kingdom releases its third quarterly report on Strategic Export Controls, covering the period 1 July to 30 September 2004.

Some of you are to continue your studies in further preparation for your careers; others will now take up their life work. In either case, you will want to succeed, and you have every reason to be confident that you will succeed, if you will call upon and use those abilities and powers which you have been taught to ac­ quire during your undergraduate years. Your training has equipped you with much knowledge and skill as the result of the sciences and arts you have pursued; it has also developed in you intellectual ability which will en­ able you to cope with new and unforeseen problems, but the use of that ability depends upon your power of application, your power of industry and your power of work, in other words, upon your will and determination to succeed. Your training has given you an appreciation of and a sense of values, and especially of moral values.

  • A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER INVESTIGATION INTO the EFFECT of the WEB on SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION in CHEMISTRY by Richard William Fyson
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences School of Chemistry A Multi-Stakeholder Investigation into the Effect of the Web on Scholarly Communication in Chemistry by Richard William Fyson Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES School of Chemistry Doctor of Philosophy A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF THE WEB ON SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION IN CHEMISTRY by Richard William Fyson As an open, inexpensive, collaborative platform, the Web is ideal for facilitating commu- nication among scholars, enabling near free access to knowledge. The Web’s potential goes further still however, allowing researchers to utilise the digital, networked medium to publish more of their research data in comparison to paper-based journal articles, and to publish them in context sensitive formats enabling wider access and visibility, increased discoverability and potential for further use including through e-science tech- niques. Yet this potential has not been fully realised. Whilst much research is made freely available via open access, this remains a contentious subject, along with other facets of scholarly communication such as peer review and journal impact factors. The range of functions fulfilled by the processes of academic publishing ultimately inhibits the Web’s ability to instigate change. This thesis presents an all-encompassing study examining the roles of the major stakeholders in the process of capturing research and making it publicly available, to understand why the full potential of the application of the Web in scholarly discourse has not yet been fully realised. Through doing so a new approach to scholarly discourse, termed disintermediation, is formulated whereby the researcher is placed in a central role, using the Web to communicate research findings directly with their peers.
