The Relationship

Over the past ten years research at the University of Montana in collaboration with Purity Systems Inc, both located in Missoula, Montana, has resulted in a novel class of chelator materials composed of amorphous, nanoporous silica gels and modified polyamines. These materials offer some distinct advantages over conventional polystyrene based resins especially for applications in the mining industry. This paper will report on the relationship between polymer structure and metal selectivity, the relationship between chelator structure and metal selectivity and further comparisons with polystyrene analogs.

The Relationship

Employee associations serve as resources of interested employees in helping the advisory committees and the staff task forces. Besides, they may also help in publicizing information of interest, procedures, and policy to employees and participate actively in the process of academic review. In universities, a significant role is played by employees unions. Unlike Employee unions, the existence of employee associations differs a lot. Many benefits can be gained from the relationship between the management of the University and employee association. It has been found that in the past, universities in Pakistan have failed to revive and engage with their employees, due to which effectiveness was lost majorly by the associations present in the universities. This research paper will critically reflect upon the relationship between the employee association and the overall management of the universities of Peshawar. Further, it will also identify the significant barriers and issues faced by the employees associations.

Several variables have been examined in relation to student engagement at universities in the past decades. However, the number of studies conducted especially with larger groups of participants to examine certain variables such as gender, accommodation, transportation to campus, and reasons for university choice is limited. In addition, there is almost no such research carried out in the context of the Turkish society. The study aimed to examine the relationship between student engagement and campus climate with a large group of participants from all over Turkey. The study was carried out using the survey research design. The research sample covered all the geographical regions in Turkey. The sample included 7,802 students in total. In the study, the Demographic Variable Form, Student Engagement Scale, and Campus Climate Checklist were used as the measurement tools. Finally, a significant correlation was found between the university campus climate and student engagement.

Uncertainty Of Outcome

A recurring strand over the past few years in New Theatre Quarterly has been the relationship between the nature of theatricality and scientific conceptions rooted in quantum mechanics – notably Chaos Theory and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. This approach is questioned by scientists, who doubt the possibility of bridging the scientific and the literary uses of the metaphorical language being deployed. Michael Frayn's recent play, Copenhagen, used the crucial wartime visit paid by Heisenberg to Niels Bohr, his fellow architect of the Uncertainty Principle, to explore the scientific concepts involved through the work's own form and content. Victoria Stewart here assesses the nature and the success of Frayn's techniques in relation to the wider uncertainties of live theatrical performance as well as to the relationship between the scientific and artistic use of metaphor. The outcome, she concludes, is ‘a dialogue between two fields of discourse – science and theatre – which reveals that both necessarily deal in ambiguity and uncertainty of outcome’. Victoria Stewart lectures in English and Drama at the University of the West of England, Bristol.

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the library’s on-going relationship with the academic resource center (ARC), and how over the past two years, there have been new services and programs thriving as a result of this collaboration. The paper presents three case studies that demonstrate the library’s collaboration with the ARC and assesses the opportunities and challenges in working with this department in a new university. Design/methodology/approach – The approach of this paper is to explore three case studies on how the library collaborated with the ARC in supporting students. The case studies explore the opportunities for partnerships in developing innovative services, programs and resources. Librarians are integral members of the ARC and are embedded in this community by providing support to the department as well. Findings – The paper finds that collaborations between the library and the ARC are mutually beneficial: academic libraries may consider partnering with tutoring centers to create synergies in enhancing the students’ research experience. However, not all collaborative projects or programs are successful or repeatable in success. They are still opportunities to build and strengthen the relationship between the library and the ARC. Originality/value – This paper presents three case studies on how the library works closely with the “Global Academic Fellows” (GAF) from the ARC. The GAFs work closely with faculty and librarians as they teach, tutor and collaborate with different university departments to create programs or initiatives that enrich the student experience and the university. Their roles have been instrumental in collaborating with the library to create innovative programs, events and support services throughout the two years since the university opened in 2013.

Rice Hull Ash (RHA) was converted to amorphous silica gel using a modified version of published literature procedures. The gels were characterized by a comparison of their CPMAS [29] Si NMR and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images with commercial silica gels. The resulting gels were silanized with a 7.5:1 mixture of methyltrichlorosilane and chloropropyltrichlorosilane and then reacted with poly(allylamine) (PAA) to produce the silica polyamine composite (SPC) BP-1. The BP-1 was then further modified with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde to form the copper selective SPC, CuSELECT. This procedure follows that used to produce the commercialized version of these composite materials from commercially available amorphous silica gels. The composites were characterized by solid state NMR techniques, elemental analysis, SEM, porosimetry, and metal ion capacity and selectivity. The overall goal of the project was to determine the feasibility of using RHA to make SPC. The observed strengths and weaknesses of this approach are discussed.

Abstract: Sjair Iblis is one of the manuscripts which is a religious group containing the teachings and beliefs of Muslims. Poetry of the Devil is included in one of the manuscripts that the author and the author do not know about, or better known as "Anonymous". The original Devil Poetry text is still stored well at the University of Leiden Netherlands with KITLV 219. However, the code is not found in any catalog such as the catalog of Maleische Handschriften Musem van het Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wefenschappen dan catalogus of Malay, Minangkabau and South Sumatran Manuscripts In The Netherlands, even that catalog was not identified KITLV 219 code. This study refers to the study of HG Gadamer hermeneutics using descriptive qualitative methods. Interestingly this Devil Poetry script because there are several things to be analyzed with the concept of Gadamer hermeneutics, this study also aims at how to find out the interpretation of the text of the Devil Poetry itself then this study provides treasures in the fields of religion, communication, language and understanding to the relationship between the past and the present. --- Abstrak: Syair Iblis salah satu naskah yang merupakan golongan keagamaan berisi tentang ajaran serta kepercayaan umat Islam. Syair Iblis termasuk dari salah satu naskah yang tidak diketahui pengarang dan penulisnya, atau yang lebih dikenal dengan sebutan “Anonymous”. Naskah Syair Iblis yang asli masih tersimpan baik di Universitas Leiden Netherlands dengan kode KITLV 219. Akan tetapi kode tersebut tidak ditemukan pada katalog manapun seperti katalogus Maleische Handschriften Musem van het Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wefenschappen dan catalogus of Malay, Minangkabau and South Sumatran Manuscripts In The Netherlands, katalog itupun tidak teridentifikasi kode KITLV 219. Penelitian ini mengacu kepada kajian hermeneutika H.G Gadamer dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Menariknya naskah Syair Iblis ini karena ada beberapa perihal untuk dapat di analisis dengan konsep hermeneutika Gadamer, Penelitian ini juga bertujuan bagaimana mengetahui interpretasi teks terhadap Syair Iblis itu sendiri kemudian penelitian ini memberikan khazanah dalam bidang keagamaan, pernaskahan, bahasa dan pemahaman hingga hubungan antara masa lalu dan masa kini.

The Relationship

One strain of French structuralism has argued for the existence of long-run economic cycles driven by Marxist class and economic dynamics. Vincent Carpentier employs this approach in his study of the relationship between economic and educational change in the United Kingdom over the past two centuries. The basic framework was developed by Carpentier's mentor, Louis Fontvielle of the University of Montpellier, who has used it to examine the same relationship for France. According to this framework, leading modern economies such as those of France and the United Kingdom over the past two centuries have experienced four Kondratieff cycles of 50 years duration each. During the first three cycles, the level of resources devoted to education tended to move counter-cyclically; in the fourth cycle, the relationship reversed to move pro-cyclically. Fontvielle's explanation of this pattern is that during the first three cycles, during expansionary phases, high returns to physical capital implied pressures to cut back on public educational investments while during downturns, social stresses and contradictions in the system led to expanding educational investments. However in the fourth cycle, since 1945, both the rise of the welfare state and the increasing contribution of an educated labor force to productivity due to the increasing importance of science-based technical change resulted in the level of educational investments moving pro-cyclically.

Telgemeier, Raina. Sisters. New York: Scholastic, 2014.  Print.In this graphic novel, Telgemeier tells the story of two sisters - namely herself, Raina, and her sister, Amara.  Raina dreams of the day she will become a big sister but, when that day arrives, it is nothing like she imagined.  Her younger sister likes to play by herself, is always cranky and does not want much interaction with anybody, including the long-lost cousins they visit.  We watch as the family grows bigger in an apartment that seems to shrink.  Tight quarters do not help the relationship between Raina and Amara especially when each girl wants her own privacy.  In a story told over a long family road trip mixed in with memories from the past, Raina comes to see maybe having a sister, even one who is different than she expected, is maybe not so bad after all.Telgemeier’s drawing will delight readers with her characteristic colourful pictures that are easy to absorb and understand.  Young readers will know when the author is in the present tense and when she is relating a story in the past as the colours of the pages turn a time-worn yellow.  This makes the jumping back and forth in time a smooth transition for readers.  In a story that is relatable about siblings, family life and growing up, young readers will find her humour funny and timely.  This book is a must-have for every school and public library.Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Shawna ManchakowskyShawna Manchakowsky recently completed her MLIS at the University of Alberta.  When she is not working at Rutherford Library as a Public Service Assistant, she can be found with her husband parenting her two young girls; avoiding any kind of cooking; and reading for her two book clubs. In between book club titles, she tries to read as much teen fiction as she can get away with.
