The Flexi Porter comes in three sizes and has an adjustable seat depth and seat angle to help you fit the chair individually for the user to maximise their comfort and support. The waterfall back cushions can be individually positioned to meet the user's support needs and the fibre can be adjusted in each cushion to provide additional support where it is needed. The back of the chair can also be reclined using a lever on the push handle, to place the user into more relaxed and restful positions, while maintaining the seat to floor height. The Flexi Porter has pressure care built into the seat cushion with a contoured memory foam cushion upholstered in a four-way stretch, vapour permeable fabric.
The University of Iowa Back to top » I have been working for many years on the problem of how to think China and England together in the eighteenth century and early modern period. My first book, Ideographia, explored various patterns that seemed to shape European responses to Chinese cultural achievements in language, religion, the arts, and trade between 1600 and 1800. My second book, The Chinese Taste in Eighteenth Century England, focused more specifically on the remarkable assimilation of Chinese aesthetic ideas within English literature, gardening, and decorative arts, with special attention to the gendered dimensions of this response. My current book project, a comparative study of literary trends in China and England in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, has involved excursions into world literature, translation theory, comparative political and economic history, and Ming dynasty philosophy.

Dr Mark Porter is the elected BMA council chair and a consultant anaesthetist at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust. If you would like to contact me, please email His special interest is in obstetric anaesthesia and the continual development of maternity services to improve the mother's experience. In the past he has been a clinical director of his department, and the chair of the medical staff local negotiating committee. His previous roles in the BMA have included being the chair of the consultants committee from 2009-2012, and its deputy chair responsible for pay and conditions of service from 2006-2009. He was closely involved in negotiating the 2003 consultant contract, and while he was a junior doctor he was the chair of the BMA junior doctors committee from 1997-1998. In addition to his work at the BMA, Mark is honorary colonel of 202 (Midlands) Field Hospital, Royal Army Medical Corps. Photo of Dr Porter (high resolution)

Professor Veech passed away August 30 Professor William Austin Veech from Rice University passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, August 30, 2016, at age 77 in Houston, Texas.
Professor Veech was born on Christmas Eve in 1938 in Detroit, Michigan, and obtained his BA from Dartmouth College in 1960 and earned his Ph.D. in 1963 under the supervision of Salomon Bochner at Princeton University. He joined the faculty of Rice University in 1969. He served as department chair for three years between 1982 and 1986 and held an endowed chair since 1988, Milton Brockett Porter Chair, 1988-2003; Edgar Odell Lovett Chair, since 2003. Professor Veech believed in the importance of developing one's own unique perspective: all of his more than 60 papers were single-authored, and with a characteristic blend of dynamics, geometry and deep analytic technique, they often transformed whole subjects. Much of his earlier work is related to topological dynamics. Two central subjects of his research are interval exchange transformations and geodesic flows on translation surfaces. In 1982 Professor Veech had solved (coincidentally with H. Masur) the Keane’s conjecture, which stated that typical minimal interval exchange maps are uniquely ergodic.
In an earlier work, Veech constructed natural examples of minimal but not necessarily uniquely ergodic dynamical systems; in particular, he showed that certain delicate Diophantine conditions are intimately connected to ergodic properties of these systems. Veech’s zippered rectangle construction for interval exchange transformations and Rauzy-Veech induction, used in his argument, became a cornerstone of study in the case of translation surfaces and the Teichmuller geodesic flows. Perhaps Veech’s most influential contribution in mathematics (1989) concerned what is now called "Veech surfaces”, whose dynamical properties induce subsets of the heavily-studied Riemann’s moduli space of curves with astonishing properties. The study of such surfaces (and their generalizations) has become one of the most active topics in mathematics today. One remarkable property of Veech surfaces is what is now called “Veech’s dichotomy”: every infinite (geodesic) orbit is either periodic or it is uniformly distributed in the surface.
In particular, “Veech’s dichotomy” applies for billiard dynamical systems in some plane polygons, including all regular polygons. Most recently, Veech made contributions related to Sarnak's conjecture concerning Mobius orthogonality. Professor Veech was an Inaugural Fellow of the American Mathematics Society. He worked at the Institute for Advanced Study during his numerous visits there during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. His publications spanned more than 50 years. He was an excellent and generous mentor and a great friend to his students, colleagues and anyone else who had the honor of meeting him. He will be fondly remembered by all people who knew him. Professor Varilly-Alvarado receives Superior Teaching Award Each year the George R. Brown Award for Superior Teaching honors top Rice professors as determined by the votes of the alumni who graduated two to five years ago. This year Professor Anthony Varilly-Alvarado was among those selected. More from the Rice News.
Undergraduate research to be published in JAT The paper Quantum Intermittency for Sparse CMV Matrices with an Application to Quantum Walks on the Half-Line by David Damanik, Jon Erickson, Jake Fillman, Gerhardt Hinkle and Alan Vu has been accepted for publication in Journal of Approximation Theory, which is a leading journal publishing research on orthogonal polynomials and CMV matrices. This paper resulted from an intensive 5-week summer research project in 2015 involving three Rice math majors. Jake Fillman awarded Annales Henri Poincaré Prize Jake Fillman, who graduated with a Ph.D. from the Rice University mathematics department in Spring 2015, has been awarded the 2014 Annales Henri Poincaré Prize for the best paper published in AHP that year. In this paper Jake and his coauthors studied continuum Schrödinger operators associated with aperiodic subshifts and proved that the spectrum is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure if the subshift satisfies the Boshernitzan condition.
