ROCHESTER ALUMNI REVIEW OFFICIAL PUBLICATION of ASSOCIATED ALUMNI, UNIVERSITY of ROCHESTER President: Percival D ONiY strange shapes of glass and metal! Yet it's the electron tube that gives radio its tongue, that brings to your firesicle music played a thousand miles away. It's the electron tube that leads ships through fog, guides airplanes through darkness, peers unwinkingly into white-hot crucibles, directs the surgeon's knife, and is becoming one of the greatest weapons against disease. It tests the safety of castings and welds, matches the color of dress goods, and unerringly detects manufacturing errors that the human eye cannot discern. A few years ago, it was only a laboratory device. Today, it is weaving an invisible net­ work of service about man's daily life. Tomorrow, it will do things that were never done before. Continual development in electron tubes is only one of the contributions made by G-E research-research that has saved the public from ten to one hundred dollars for every dollar it has earned for General Electric. 96-180DH GENERAL.ELECTRIC ROCHESTER ALUMNI REVIEW OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF ASSOCIATED ALUMNI, UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER President: Percival D.

His first full day here saw him make his bow as a civic figure, when, on September 16, he spoke at the opening dinner of the J. Y. M. A. building equipment campaign, of which Raymond N. Ball, '14, vice-president of the University, was the general chairman. The new president-to-be has spoken at student convoca­ tions of the several University schools and at the first Col­ lege Night Supper and, with Mrs. Valentine, has graciously responded to many social demands on his time, at the var­ ious teas, receptions and other events of the fall season. He has participated in faculty and other administrative meet­ ings. On October 30 he was guest at a dinner given in his honor by the Rochester Chamber of Commerce. And through it all he has been steadily acquainting himself with the many phases of his new job, as well as preparing for his inauguration. Plans for this latter, significant function, in process of formulation since last summer, are of undoubted interest to the readers of this magazine, to judge from the many inquiries which have reached this office in recent weeks. That the program, as now completed, will attract wide at­ tention in educational circles may be inferred from the ap­ pearance on it of the presidents of eight prominent institu­ tions, including Yale, Princeton, Brown, Radcliffe, Amherst, Swarthmore, Hobart and Colgate-Rochester Divinity School.

(b) JATE does not exclude an influence of emotion on intentional action even in its original formulation; nevertheless, this influence is quite limited. It seems possible, however, to repair this problem of the theory. (c) Cannon’s theory of emotion is a centralized version of JATE that inherits from the latter theory a potentially fatal flaw, the insufficient physiological differentiation of emotions.

  • Media Release: European Public Health Advocates Demand Greater Public Returns from European Commission’S Research and Development Programme, Horizon 2020
    Media Release: European Public Health Advocates Demand Greater Public Returns From European Commission’s Research and Development Programme, Horizon 2020 Press Release | 2 February 2017 | Download PDF AMSTERDAM—European public health advocates have called upon the European Commission to make substantial changes to how it funds research and development (R&D) projects for new medicines, to allow for greater public access to the innovations that it helps to fund. “Europeans have a right to question why they are funding R&D projects without the European Commission taking simple steps to guarantee that citizens can benefit from discoveries that they helped to fund,” said Tessel Mellema from Health Action International, speaking on behalf of the eight civil society organisations who drafted a joint submission to the Commission. The call comes following the Commission’s public consultation for the mid-term review of the European Union’s (EU) Research and Innovation programme, Horizon 2020 (H2020), which administers a funding pool of nearly €80 billion. It also echoes similar demands made on Tuesday by the European Parliament Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. “At a time when there is real concern within Member States over astronomical prices for new drugs treating cancer and hepatitis C, the European Commission has the opportunity to take real and practical steps to make new biomedical discoveries affordable and accessible across the European Union,” said Aliénor Devalière, one of the report’s authors from Médecins Sans Frontières – Access Campaign. The joint submission to the Horizon 2020 consultation established six key recommendations that the European Commission should consider during their review process: 1.

    DIPLOMACY & DECEPTION: KING JAMES VI OF SCOTLAND'S FOREIGN RELATIONS WITH EUROPE (C. 1584-1603) Cynthia Ann Fry A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2014 Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/5902 This item is protected by original copyright DIPLOMACY & DECEPTION: King James VI of Scotland’s Foreign Relations with Europe (c. 1584-1603) Cynthia Ann Fry This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews October 2014 ABSTRACT This thesis is the first attempt to provide an assessment of Scottish-Jacobean foreign relations within a European context in the years before 1603. Moreover, it represents the only cohesive study of the events that formed the foundation of the diplomatic policies and practices of the first ruler of the Three Kingdoms. Whilst extensive research has been conducted on the British and English aspects of James VI & I’s diplomatic activities, very little work has been done on James’s foreign policies prior to his accession to the English throne. James VI ruled Scotland for almost twenty years before he took on the additional role of King of England and Ireland. It was in his homeland that James developed and refined his diplomatic skills, and built the relationships with foreign powers that would continue throughout his life. James’s pre-1603 relationships with Denmark-Norway, France, Spain, the Papacy, the German and Italian states, the Spanish Netherlands and the United Provinces all influenced his later ‘British’ policies, and it is only through a study such as this that their effects can be fully understood.
