Beyond scientific research: tracing the contributions Ernest Rutherford made to the next generation of scientists
No full textBefore his death in 1937, Ernest Rutherford discovered the rate of radioactive decay of
atoms. In 1911 he proposed the nuclear structure of the atom, and in 1919 he
successfully split the nucleus of an atom. Rutherford also achieved success when
advising his students to follow his research method in nuclear physics. As a faculty
advisor to research students, Rutherford advised courses, research topics, and
experimental research. To determine whether Rutherford made an impact on his
students, this study focused on the relationship between Rutherford and 24 researchers
and students at McGill University, the University of Manchester, and Cambridge
University. Rutherford had a significant impact through his advising efforts at each
institution and contributed to the success of his students. This study may not include a
complete list of students at each institution because of a lack of records at each
institution. Instead, this study focused on the students included in the Rutherford
biographies.
The study included a content analysis on Rutherford biographies and memoirs
from students under Rutherford��s direct influence at McGill University, the University of
Manchester, and Cambridge University. Historical information from J.L. Heilbron,
David Wilson, and J.G. Crowther supplied the timeline at each institution where Rutherford conducted research. The results show an overwhelming contribution by
Rutherford��s leadership in the direction of his students. Rutherford made a significant
impact in the research direction of all his students examined in this study, including eight
research students under Rutherford that were later honored with a Nobel Prize

Pilgrimage and communication
No full textExtending recent work on theōria, or Greek state pilgrimage, this chapter considers pilgrimage in other ancient societies and takes the opportunity to differentiate between features that were distinctively Greek and those that are commonly found. Rutherford highlights how important the polis and the federation were as Greek forms of religious organization, and how they contributed to the special character of Greek pilgrimage. Rutherford then turns to a comparison between Greece and ancient Israel. He shows that pilgrimage to the Jerusalem Temple largely resembled Greek pilgrimage to shrines like Delphi or Delos, a feature that vindicates several decades of scholarly work envisioning Eastern Mediterranean religions as a spectrum in which neighboring religions have much in common.</p

The Impacts of Contract Type on Broker Performance: Submarket Effects
No full textRutherford et al. (2001) develop and empirically test a model that analyzes the effect the type of listing contract, either exclusive agency (EA) or exclusive right to sell (ERTS), has on the performance of the agent/broker. This paper extends the work of Rutherford et al. (2001) and looks at differences between housing submarkets delineated by price. The results show a selling price discount associated with both broker-effected and owner-effected sales for lower-priced houses with EA contracts. For higher-priced houses, there is no price advantage to an EA-listing if the broker achieves the sale, but if the owner sells the house, there is a modest price premium associated with the sale. The primary implication of the results is that owners of lower-priced houses should be wary of alternative listing arrangements, namely exclusive agency contracts.
(112) Archie Rutherford
No full textExcerpt from page 38 of "B.C.'s Inland Empire" by Erskine Burnett associated with this image: Rutherford has a small farm nearby which he attends to through the day and at the time of our last visit was working on a new house. The bane of his life is the marauding bears. They enter his garden and devour his carrots and break down his apple trees. On one occasion he cornered two well-grown cubs up and apple tree and dispatched them with two well-directed shots. The hindquarters furnished several succulent meals and the rest of the meat made good pig feed. We helped dig his potato patch one afternoon. The summer had been dry and there were more small ones than usual but these were sacked up separately for the pigs. On leaving he presented us with a sack of his most excellent Swede turnips. A native of Edinburgh, this canny Scot will spin you many a yarn. Mrs. Rutherford had a sewing machine which was constantly being borrowed by neighbours with dire results. After a sojourn in a repair shop it was returned with the sage piece of advice, - "Dinna lend out your sewing machine or your husband to anybody.
