In his long and distinguished career which bridged two centuries, Sir Oliver Lodge (1851–1940) was one of the most versatile intellectual figures in England. His discoveries in physics placed him in the first rank of British science. For his work in electricity, radio, and wave theory Lodge was awarded the Rumford and Alfred medals by the Royal Society. He also was a Romanes Lecturer at Oxford, a president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and the first Principal of the University of Birmingham. Lodge's publication record is breathtaking: more than 1,200 items, including nearly forty books, over a sixty-year period. While more than half of these were purely scientific or technical, it is significant that more than 100 pieces dealt with psychical research and an additional 170 books and articles dealt with topics in philosophy and religion. More than half of Lodge's writings in this latter category appeared between 1896 and 1914.

This article is to investigate the existence of entire solutions of several quadratic trinomial difference equations f(z+c)2+2αf(z)f(z+c)+f(z)2=eg(z), and the partial differential difference equations f(z+c)2+2αf(z+c)∂f(z)∂z1+∂f(z)∂z12=eg(z),f(z+c)2+2αf(z+c)∂f(z)∂z1+∂f(z)∂z2+∂f(z)∂z1+∂f(z)∂z22=eg(z). We establish some theorems about the forms of the finite order transcendental entire solutions of these functional equations. We also list a series of examples to explain the existence of the finite order transcendental entire solutions of such equations. Meantime, some examples show that there exists a very significant difference with the previous literature on the growth order of the finite order transcendental entire solutions. Our results show that some functional equations can admit the transcendental entire solutions with any positive integer order. These results make a few improvements of the previous theorems given by Xu and Cao, Liu and Yang.

The Rowett Institute for research on animal nutrition had its origin under a scheme for promoting scientific research in agriculture adopted by the Development Commission in 1911.The Governing Body, which originally consisted of an equal number of members appointed by the Court of the University of Aberdeen and the Governors of the North of Scotland College of Agriculture, was constituted in 1913. Within recent years it has been expanded to include persons nominated by the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Agricultural Research Council, and the Medical Research Council. Research work was begun in temporary accommodation in Marischal College in 1914, under the direction of Dr John Boyd Orr—now Lord Boyd-Orr—who continued as Director until his retirement in 1945.
