Studying at a university is an adventure – an adventure of the mind and an adventure for life. It is where everyone can discover their potential, make lifelong friends and open up their minds to knowledge and ideas. A really good university education should always be transformational, and stay with you for the rest of your life. But RGU also offers more. We understand that those who come to study here want to pursue career opportunities and also want to be fully equipped to help solve some of society’s most pressing problems. All over the world, RGU’s graduates play leading roles in areas such as healthcare, energy, architecture, management, law, social care, art – there is hardly a field of human endeavour in which they have not excelled. Our graduates also have particular advantages in the job market. Again and again we have been recognised for supporting our graduates in achieving high value careers and increasing their income potential (most recently by The Economist in 2017). We have always been one of the top UK universities for graduate employability. Of course we must never rest on our laurels, and every year this university works with students to ensure that we are constantly renewing and improving further what we do. I hope you will find this prospectus to be exciting and helpful and I look forward to seeing you some time soon on the RGU campus.

  • Obituary Peter Payne 2017
    Professor Peter Payne It is with great sadness that Council reports the death of our distinguished and long serving President, Professor Peter Payne. Peter died on 10 January 2017, aged 87 years. A well attended service of committal was held at Aberdeen Crematorium on 20 th January, allowing many friends and colleagues to offer their condolences to Enid and their son and daughter, Simon and Samantha. They each contributed moving and frequently amusing recollections of their father, sympathetically read by the minister, Deaconess Marion Stewart. Peter was a Londoner whose academic path took him to Nottingham University where, in 1951, he graduated in the new and minority discipline of Economic History. His mentor was Professor David Chambers, who then set Peter on his research for his PhD, gained in 1954, and later published in 1961 as Rubber and Railways in the Nineteenth Century; A Study of the Spencer Papers, 1853 – 1891 . He had begun as he was to continue in his career, his scholarship founded on expert analysis of business records, and demonstrating their significance in understanding wider issues of economic and social development. His successful PhD launched him into two years of research at Johns Hopkins, this producing in 1956 a fine detailed study of The Savings Bank of Baltimore, 1818 – 1866 co-authored with Lance Davis. This was a spectacular start to an academic career in the new and relatively small discipline of Economic History, but building it had to wait, as National Service drew Peter into two years in the Royal Army Educational Corps. There he had the unusual experience of serving for a time on the staff of a military detention barracks.

    Memory for emotional faces in major depression 1 Running title: MEMORY FOR EMOTIONAL FACES IN MAJOR DEPRESSION Word Count: 4251 (excluding the abstract, references and tables) Memory for emotional faces in major depression following judgement of physical facial characteristics at encoding Nathan Ridout Aston University, Birmingham, UK Barbara Dritschel University of St Andrews, UK Keith Matthews and Maureen McVicar University of Dundee, UK Ian C. Reid University of Aberdeen, UK Ronan E. O’ Carroll University of Stirling, UK Address for correspondence: Dr Nathan Ridout Clinical and Cognitive Neurosciences Research Group School of Life and Health Sciences Aston University Birmingham, B7 4ET Tel: (+44 121) 2044162 Fax: (+44 121) 2044090 Email: [email protected] Memory for emotional faces in major depression 2 Abstract The aim of the present study was to establish if patients with major depression (MD) exhibit a memory bias for sad faces, relative to happy and neutral, when the affective element of the faces is not explicitly processed at encoding. To this end, 16 psychiatric outpatients with MD and 18 healthy, never-depressed controls (HC) were presented with a series of emotional faces and were required to identify the gender of the individuals featured in the photographs. Participants were subsequently given a recognition memory test for these faces. At encoding, patients with MD exhibited a non-significant tendency towards slower gender identification (GI) times, relative to HC, for happy faces. However, the GI times of the two groups did not differ for sad or neutral faces. At memory testing, patients with MD did not exhibit the expected memory bias for sad faces.

LAU, City University of Hong Kong DAWEI SONG, The Robert Gordon University XUE LI, University of Queensland JIAN MA, City University of Hong Kong Both similarity-based and popularity-based document ranking functions have been successfully applied to information retrieval (IR) in general. However, the dimension of semantic granularity also should be considered for effective retrieval. In this paper, we propose a semantic granularity based IR model which takes into account the three dimensions, namely similarity, popularity, and semantic granularity, to improve domain-specific search. In particular, a concept-based computational model is developed to estimate the semantic granularity of documents with reference to a domain ontology.

  • LIRG :Tkentyyears On!
    LIRG :TkentyYears On! The Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) was formed in 1977 .Its formation followed informal discussions between researchers who felt it was important to link LIS research with practice and who believed that existing professional organizations were not adequately fulfilling this task. The Group remains active in its central mission of bringing together those with an interest in library and information research and its application. The Group publishes Library and Information Research News (LIRN). it organizes meetings and conferences, and it has a range of awards and prizes. The liveliness of the Group, despite its small membership, is a tribute to the efforts of a succession of people who have participated actively in it over the years. The Group has had many successful activities over the last few years incuding a major conference on quality, some excellent seminars, the continued production of LIRN, and the establishment of the LIRG StudentPrizes. However, thetwentiethanniversaryoftheestablishmentoftheGroupisanopportunetime to review what we are doing and how we operate. We cannot ignore that the research environment has changed markedly over the last twenty years and that the needs of our members and potential members are likely to have evolved and changed. The Group needs to move towards agreement on our future mission, aims, operation, activities, and priorities. A new Committee came into office at the last Annual General Meeting in April. It is a pleasure that we have some new Committee Members who wish to become fully involved with the Group. They join a strong core of existing Committee Members who wish to continue their work for the Group.
