In 1908 Hans Geiger, under the supervision of Ernest Rutherford at the Victoria University of Manchester ( now the University of Manchester ), developed an experimental technique for detecting alpha particles that would later be used in the Geiger-muller tube.

Furthermore, as noted by Bohr, Moseley's law provided a reasonably complete experimental set of data that supported the ( new from 1911 ) conception by Ernest Rutherford and Antonius Van den Broek of the atom, with a positively-charged nucleus surrounded by negatively-charged electrons in which the atomic number is understood to be the exact physical number of positive charges ( later discovered and called protons ) in the central atomic nuclei of the elements.

Rutherford also later analyzed inelastic scattering when he projected alpha particles against hydrogen nuclei ( protons ), and this latter process is not classical Rutherford scattering, although it was first observed by him.

Rutherford worked as a teacher of elocution and then went into acting later in life, making her stage debut at the Old Vic in 1925, aged 33.

On 22 December 1977, the band split up, Clarke, Griffiths and Wylie formed The Nova Mob ( along Julian Cope ), and Paul Rutherford formed The Opium Eaters, while Littler moved to London in January 1978, where joined The Photons, alongside Steve Strange ( later Visage ).

He also briefly set up an art school in Manchester where he was to teach the artist Harry Rutherford, whom he later described as " my intellectual heir ".

While Prout's hypothesis was not borne out by later more-accurate measurements of atomic weights, it was a sufficiently fundamental insight into the structure of the atom that in 1920, Ernest Rutherford chose the name of the newly-discovered proton to, among other reasons, give credit to Prout.

Months later, however, Rutherford and his government were embroiled in the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway scandal, and the Liberal Party was split.

" Macmillan, who claimed he had declined an offer from an ailing Russell months earlier to accept the position of president after his death, agreed with Van Amburgh that Rutherford was the best candidate.

The Watch Tower Society's official 1959 account of its history claimed the legal advice given to the ousted directors confirmed that given to Rutherford ; however, the pamphlets produced by the expelled board members at the time indicated that their legal advice, acquired from several attorneys, disagreed with Rutherford's.

On July 12, Rutherford filled what he claimed were four vacancies on the board, appointing Macmillan and Pennsylvania Bible Students W. E. Spill, J.

The former directors also claimed Rutherford had required all headquarters workers to sign a petition supporting him and threatened dismissal for any who refused to sign.

In 1933 Rutherford claimed that abolishing elective elders was a fulfillment of the prophecy of 2300 days at Daniel 8: 13 – 14, and that God's sanctuary ( the Watch Tower Society ) was thereby cleansed.

In contrast, Rutherford claimed, " It was my duty to use the power the Lord had put into my hands to support the interests of the shareholders and all others interested in the Truth throughout the world ... to be unfaithful to them would be unfaithful to the Lord.

" Macmillan, who supported Rutherford throughout the crisis, claimed the president was extremely patient and " did everything that he could to help his opposers see their mistake, holding a number of meetings with them, trying to reason with them and show them how contrary their course was to the Society's charter ".

Former Jehovah's Witness and former Governing Body member Raymond Franz claimed there was no evidence Rutherford engaged in door-to-door ministry despite his assertion that it was a requirement and sacred duty of all Witnesses.

Authors William Whalen and James Penton have claimed that Rutherford was to Russell what Brigham Young was to Mormon prophet Joseph Smith.

Cousin later claimed she had been inspired by the writing of Samuel Rutherford.

After the commission awarded all the disputed electoral votes to the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes, and Congress voted to accept their report, some dissatisfied Democrats claimed that Hayes or his supporters had made a secret compromise to secure the support of some Congressional Democrats.

Both parties claimed victory in the election, but Hunt lost the position when President Rutherford B. Hayes recognized the Democratic government of the State.

Russell's teaching that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built under God's direction was overturned in 1928, when Rutherford asserted that it had been built under the direction of Satan for the purpose of deceiving God's people in the last days.

" Hans Geiger expanded on this work in a communication to the Royal Society with experiments he and Rutherford had done passing α particles through air, aluminum foil and gold leaf.

Rutherford had the idea to instruct his team to look for something that shocked him to actually observe: a few particles were scattered through large angles, even completely backwards, in some cases.

By 1925 it was known that protons and electrons had a spin of 1 / 2, and in the Rutherford model of nitrogen-14, 20 of the total 21 nuclear particles should have paired up to cancel each other's spin, and the final odd particle should have left the nucleus with a net spin of 1 / 2.

In 1932 Chadwick realized that radiation that had been observed by Walther Bothe, Herbert L. Becker, Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie was actually due to a neutral particle of about the same mass as the proton, that he called the neutron ( following a suggestion about the need for such a particle, by Rutherford ).

After the last foreign troops had gone in 1876 and an international commission headed by Rutherford B. Hayes awarded Paraguay the area between the Río Verde and Río Pilcomayo, the era of party politics in Paraguay was free to begin in earnest.

Rutherford used a generic pitchblende radioactive source and determined that the rays produced by the source had differing penetrations in materials.

One type had short pentration and a positive charge, which Rutherford named alpha and the other was more penetrating with a negative charge, and this type Rutherford named beta.

This was not seen, indicating that the gold had not been " hit " so that Rutherford only knew the gold nucleus ( or the sum of the gold and alpha radii ) was smaller than 27 fm ( 2. 7 × 10 < sup >− 14 </ sup > m )

) Prior to Adler On Line, Corus had syndicated Rutherford, hosted by conservative Dave Rutherford and originating from its Calgary station, QR77.
