Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the primary technique throughout the body in the routine diagnosis of many disease processes, replacing and sometimes surpassing computed tomography (CT). MRI has particular advantages in that it is non-invasive, using non-ionising radiation, and has a high soft-tissue resolution and discrimination in any imaging plane. It may also provide both morphological and functional information. The resultant MR image is based on multiple tissue parameters any of which can modify tissue contrast. In its development, MRI has incorporated a multidisciplinary team of radiologists, technicians, clinicians and scientists who have made, and are continuing to make, combined efforts in further extending the clinical usefulness and effectiveness of this technique. The first successful nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment was made in 1946 independently by two scientists in the United States. Interestingly, Dr Isidor Rabi, an American physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1944 for his invention of the atomic and molecular beam magnetic resonance method of observing atomic spectra, came across the NMR experiment in the late 1930's but considered it to be an artefact of his apparatus and disregarded its importance. During the 50's and 60's NMR spectroscopy became a widely used technique for the non-destructive analysis of small samples. Many of its applications were at the microscopic level using small (a few centimetres) bore high field magnets.

Lucas, in his will , bequeathed his library of 4,000 volumes to the University and left instruction for the purchase of land whose yielding would provide £100 a year for the founding of a professorship. One of the requirements in Lucas' will was that the holder of the professorship should not be active in the church Isaac Newton would later appeal to King Charles II that this requirement excused him from taking holy orders , which was compulsory for all Fellows of the University at that time, but which would have been incompatible with his Arian beliefs.

SIR EDWARD VICTOR APPLETON Nobel Laureate Pioneer of Radio and Space Research INTRODUCTION Sir Edward Appleton, Nobel prizewinner, and widely recognized as the discoverer of the Ionosphere, was born in 1892 in the city of Bradford. Although he ceased full-time residence in Bradford at the age of 19, he maintained close links with the members of his family who remained there, and it was thus a significant influence in his life. Early years in Bradford While at this school, Appleton developed an interest in physics, spurred by the influence of a gifted and energetic physics master, J. A. Verity. Appleton developed a passion for physics, scoring 100% in his first school examination in the subject. Verity recog­nized his potential, to the extent that he was given a key to the laboratory and was permitted to attend some more advanced classes at the Bradford Technical College. It is noteworthy that his portrait photograph from that period was posed in the company of an optical bench. Cambridge and World War I Appleton went up to Cambridge (St John’s College) in 1911 and his undergraduate career appears to have been exemplary, resulting in a ‘double first’ (i.e. first-class honours in Part I of the Natural Science Tripos in 1913 and first-class honours again in Part II Physics papers in 1914). He seems to have spent the vacations back in Bradford, including further periods of work at the Technical College, probably because his home life at the time was clouded by the terminal illness of his first sister Isabel, who died at the end of 1911.

George Gabriel Stokes Aug 13 1819 - Feb 1 1903 Born Sligo, Ireland. Died Cambridge, England. Welcome page The World Great Mathematicians Stokes established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity (1851), describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid. Stokes published papers on the motion of incompressible fluids in 1842-43 and on the friction of fluids in motion and the equilibrium and motion of elastic solids in 1845. In 1849 Stokes was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. In 1851 Stokes was elected to the Royal Society and was secretary of the Society from 1854 to 1884 when he was elected president. He investigated the wave theory of light, named and explained the phenomenon of fluorescence in 1852, and in 1854 theorised an explanation of the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum. He suggested these were caused by atoms in the outer layers of the Sun absorbing certain wavelengths. However when Kirchhoff later published this explanation Stokes disclaimed any prior discovery. Stokes developed mathematical techniques for application to physical problems, founded the science of geodesy, and greatly advanced the study of mathematical physics in England. His mathematical and physical papers were published in 5 volumes, the first 3 of which Stokes edited himself in 1880, 1883 and 1891. The last 2 were edited by Sir Joseph Larmor in 1887 and 1891.

Sadly too, the full value of his work was not appreciated until after his death. Indeed, the only obituary that appeared was in a local Nottingham paper.

The carol can be heard from the ground and just before noon members of the College and the public gather in First Court. Ascension Day, forty days after Easter Day, marks Christ's ascension to heaven after his resurrection and so the use of the tower is symbolic. The custom of the Ascension Day carol dates from 1902 and was begun by the then Director of Music, Cyril Rootham, following a conversation with Sir Joseph Larmor. Sir Joseph was insistent that a choir on the top of the tower would not be heard from the ground. Rootham was keen to prove him wrong and saw Ascension Day was the obvious time to do it. Without telling anyone apart from the members of the choir, they ascended the tower and as the clock finished striking noon, they started to sing an Ascension Day motet. To Rootham's delight, he saw Sir Joseph open his window in the courtyard below to see where the music was coming from. The event proved very popular as people gathered below to listen and since then it has been repeated every year.

In the late 1790s, he proposed the tellograph for "conveying secret and swift intelligence" using 30 tall towers spaced between Dublin and Galway (130 miles). Relayed from tower to tower using large triangular pointers, encoded messages could reach Dublin in just eight minutes. Unfortunately, poor visibility due to the weather doomed the idea.
