Captain and Quartermaster, R.A.M.C.(T.) ; Steward, Southmead Hospital. Thomas Jones began his career with the Guardians of the Parish of Lambeth in 1896, and was subsequently Master of Alresford Workhouse, Hants., from 1903 to 1905. Then, coming to Bristol, he was successively Storekeeper and Master's Clerk at Eastville Institution until he was promoted to be Steward at Southmead Infirmary in S...

We present an algorithm for wheeled mobile robot trajectory generation that achieves a high degree of generality and efficiency. The generality derives from numerical linearization and inversion of forward models of propulsion, suspension, and motion for any type of vehicle. Efficiency is achieved by using fast numerical optimization techniques and effective initial guesses for the vehicle cont...

The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the view of Coffey International Development, the consortium members of GSDRC or DFID. This consultancy assesses current migration research to determine the key factors which need to be considered in order to better understand the drivers of migration for poor people, as well as the social and economic costs an...

The authors delineate the importance of a mentoring relationship and recommend strategies for universities, mentors, and graduate students to encourage the effective mentoring of minority students. Specifically, functional mentoring is the cornerstone of succeeding in graduate studies and in one's career. The protégé receives benefits via networking and " academic guidance, career development, ...

This study investigates the potential of an intelligence model namely, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in prediction of the Zn metal ions adsorption in comparision with two well known empirical models included Thomas and Yoon methods. For this purpose, an organic-inorganic core/shell structure, γ-Fe2O3/polyrhodanine nanocomposite with γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticle as core with average diam...

Thomas Andrews (1813-1885) performed important research in the area of thermochemistry, thermodynamics of phase equilibrium, and the nature and properties of ozone. His work on the heat of reaction between acids and bases is notable for its high technique and good numerical results, in spite of having been done at the time before the advent of the Arrhenius theory and when the law of conservati...

The following paper attempts to discuss the connection between meaning and use in language by examining how we can speak of sharing and not sharing with others. As an introduction to this theme a passage is presented and discussed from Raimond Gaita‟s book A common humanity: thinking about love truth and justice, in which he speaks of the importance of other human beings. This subject of others...

most jarring during his discussion on the two pandemics so far this century, SARS and swine flu. When discussing SARS, he describes media coverage as ‘alarmist’, suggests that public health workers used the outbreak to demonstrate that their field was still relevant, and claims that firm actions by governments, such as imposing quarantine and closing schools, were more about restoring the confi...
