Twelve presentations, each of around fifteen to twenty minutes, were delivered in three different panels over the two days. The first panel, entitled Challenges, brought together four papers reflecting on the experience of changing from the transition from postgraduate research student to tutoring, teaching and lecturing.

1. The nature of X-rays X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Rontgen in Wurtzburg. For the next 17 years the nature of these rays was one of the dominant questions in physics: were they particles or were they waves? W.H. Bragg, of Adelaide, found indisputable evidence that they were particles; C.G. Barkla, of Liverpool and Edinburgh, found even more indisputable evidence that they were waves. The decisive experiment was carried out by Friedrich and Knipping (1) in 1912 in Munich, under the guidance of von Laue; they passed a fine beam of X-rays through a crystal of copper sulphate, hoping that it would behave as a diffraction grating. It did! The background was emotionally described bv von Laue in 1948 (2). * W.H. Bragg had a son, W.L. Bragg, who was a research student under J.J. Thomson at Cambridge. He was, as he himself said later, rather upset that his father seemed to have been proved wrong, and he tried to think up an alternative explanation of particles travelling through tunnels in the crystal. But he soon realized that the wave explanation had to be accepted.

The Relationship

The present research was aimed to the study the relationship between talent management and organizational development and job motivation of the employees in educational, research, student, and cultural deputies of Bushehr University of medical sciences and health services. The method of this research was practical in terms of objectives, descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of the research was the entire employees in educational, research, student, and cultural deputies of Bushehr University of medical sciences and health services (consisted of 301 individuals) among whom 170 individuals were chosen as sample size using Morgan table and simple random sampling method. In order to collect data, the three standard questionnaires of Talent management of Oheley (2007), organizational development of Peter Lok and John Crawford (2001), and job motivation of Herzberg (1965) were used. In order to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaires, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used, and the value of this coefficient was higher than 0.7 for each of the questionnaires. For evaluation of the validity, the content validity was used, and for this regard, the questionnaires were confirmed by the related experts. The analysis of the obtained data was performed through SPSS software in two parts of descriptive and inferential (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation test and multiple regression). The research findings indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between talent management and organizational development and job motivation of teachers.

Mr Jack Hanbury-Tenison is a Field Director of the University of Sydney excavations at Pella, and has combined this with doing surveys of his own in Jordan to pick up settlement patterns in the fourth millennium. In writing a thesis on the Late Chalcolithic to Early Bronze I transition in Palestine and Transjordan he says he is trying to steer a course between the anti-empiricism of the New Archaeology and the positivism of the Kenyon school. He says, engagingly, that ‘what got me on to Hegel and Darwin was wondering where people got their loopy ideas from’. This essay is a plea for commonsense, and an understanding of how pastoralists use the landscape today. Hanbury-Tenison is a research student of Magdalen College, Oxford.

Medical Career

John William Watson Stephens was born at Ferryside, near Carmarthen, on 2 March 1865, the second of three sons of John Stephens, barrister-at-law, and Martha, daughter of Captain David Davies, R.M., Transmawr, Carmarthenshire. The family was an old Carmarthenshire one with many branches living in the neighbourhood, and Stephens after retirement lived and died in the house in which he was born. His early boyhood was spent at Ferryside where he went to a small preparatory school. Later he was sent for a term to Christ’s College, Brecon, and then to Dulwich College, where he distinguished himself by winning prizes in successive years for mathematics and Greek in 1879, chemistry 1880-1882, as also two prizes in this subject in 1883, together with one in physics and one in physiology in the same year. Having decided to embark on a medical career, he entered Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, in October 1884, taking his B.A. and Natural Science Tripos in 1887. He received his medical education at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, taking his M.B., B.C. in 1893, followed by the D.P.H. in 1894. After qualifying he continued to work during 1895 and 1896 at St Bartholomew’s as Sir Trevor Lawrence Research Student in Pathology and Bacteriology, publishing several papers on bacteriological Subjects. He was President of the Abernethian Society in 1896. His main recreation at this time was Rugby football and he played forward for Barts when they won the Hospital Cup. He also played at times for Carmarthen. In 1896-1897 he continued to work on pathology at Cambridge as John Lucas Walker Student in Pathology under A. A. Kanthack, then Professor of Pathology, Cambridge University. He used frequently to refer to Kanthack for whom he evidently had a high respect and affection, and whose influence in turning his attention to research he often acknowledged. At this time he was greatly interested in the study of snake venoms and on the testing of the isotonic point, now usually referred to as the fragility test, of the red blood corpuscles, a technique he later applied to the investigation of blackwater fever.

Compact Subsets

In this paper all sets considered are assumed to be compact subsets of Euclidean Space En. A number of results concerning the total edge-lengths of polyhedra have been given by various authors, many of which are mentioned in references in [1]. In [1], it was conjectured that all polytopes inscribed in the unit sphere and containing its centre have total edge-length greater than 2n. This was proved true for simplicial polytopes and shown to be best possible in the sense that there exist simplices with the stated property and with total edge-length arbitrarily close to 2n. In this paper we shall show that the bound is not always best possible if the magnitudes of the faces of such polytopes are restricted and we shall also give some related results on surface areas. This work was carried out while the author was a research student at Royal Holloway College, London and is a revised version of part of the author's thesis approved for the Ph.D. degree.
