The gift is being presented by `` heirs and descendants of the Rutherford family of New Jersey, whose famous estate, `` Tranquility '', was located near the Duncan Phyfe workshop at Andover, N. J..

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford gave a model of the atom in which a central core held most of the atom's mass and a positive charge which, in units of the electron's charge, was to be approximately equal to half of the atom's atomic weight, expressed in numbers of hydrogen atoms.

This central charge would thus be approximately half the atomic weight ( though it was almost 25 % off the figure for the atomic number in gold ( Z = 79, A = 197 ), the single element from which Rutherford made his guess ).

In 1909, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, under the direction of physicist Ernest Rutherford, bombarded a sheet of gold foil with alpha rays — by then known to be positively charged helium atoms — and discovered that a small percentage of these particles were deflected through much larger angles than was predicted using Thomson's proposal.

Rutherford interpreted the gold foil experiment as suggesting that the positive charge of a heavy gold atom and most of its mass was concentrated in a nucleus at the center of the atom — the Rutherford model.

Murder, She Said ( 1961, directed by George Pollock ) was the first of four British MGM productions starring Rutherford.

The other Rutherford films ( all directed by George Pollock ) were Murder at the Gallop ( 1963 ), based on the 1953 Hercule Poirot novel After the Funeral ( In this film, she is identified as Miss JTV Marple, though there was no indication as to what the extra initials might stand for ); Murder Most Foul ( 1964 ), based on the 1952 Poirot novel Mrs McGinty's Dead ; and Murder Ahoy!

Rutherford, who was 70 years old when the first film was made, insisted that she wear her own clothes during the filming of the movie, as well as having her real-life husband, Stringer Davis appear alongside her as the character ' Mr Stringer '.

In 1909 Ernest Rutherford discovered that the positive half of atoms was tightly condensed into a nucleus,

Rutherford John Gettens was the first chemist in the U. S. to be permanently employed by an art museum.

The 1904 Thomson model was disproved by the 1909 gold foil experiment, which was interpreted by Ernest Rutherford in 1911

Henry Moseley's work showed experimentally in 1913 ( see Moseley's law ) that the effective nuclear charge was very close to the atomic number ( Moseley found only one unit difference ), and Moseley referenced only the papers of Van den Broek and Rutherford.

Frederick Soddy ( 2 September 1877 – 22 September 1956 ) was an English radiochemist and monetary economist who explained, with Ernest Rutherford, that radioactivity is due to the transmutation of elements, now known to involve nuclear reactions.

He and Rutherford realized that the anomalous behaviour of radioactive elements was because they decayed into other elements.

It needed careful work by Soddy and Rutherford to prove that atomic transmutation was in fact occurring.

As Niels Bohr once said in 1962, " You see actually the Rutherford work nuclear atom was not taken seriously.

In 2005, C. Davis and C. Johnson, working at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, UK, demonstrated that the Es layer was indeed enhanced as a result of lightning activity.

The element nitrogen was discovered as a separable component of air, by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford, in 1772.

The fact that there was an element of air that does not support combustion was clear to Rutherford.

More work was published in 1909 by Geiger and Marsden and further greatly expanded work was published in 1910 by Geiger, In 1911-2 Rutherford went before the Royal Society to explain the experiments and propound the new theory of the atomic nucleus as we now understand it.

Rutherford also appeared briefly as Miss Marple in the spoof Hercule Poirot adventure The Alphabet Murders ( 1965 ).

Rutherford Stuyvesant, the 19th century New York developer, and his descendants are also descended from Pieter Stuyvesant, however Rutherford Stuyvesant changed his name from Stuyvesant Rutherford in 1863 to satisfy the terms of a will.

Rutherford scattering is also sometimes referred to as Coulomb scattering because it relies only upon static electric ( Coulomb ) forces, and the minimal distance between particles is set only by this potential.

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 realized this, and also realized that actual impact of the alphas on gold causing any force-deviation from that of the 1 / r coulomb potential would change the form of his scattering curve at high scattering angles ( the smallest impact parameters ) from a hyperbola to something else.

During his time as a senator, he was also a member of the Electoral Commission that decided the 1876 Presidential election in favor of Republican Rutherford B. Hayes.

He was also a member of the Jazz Composer's Orchestra and Iskra 1903, a trio with double-bass player Barry Guy and trombone player Paul Rutherford that was named after a newspaper published by the Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin.

Walterhill, also known as Walter Hill, is a census-designated place ( CDP ) in Rutherford County, Tennessee, United States.

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 ".

Scattering also includes the interaction of billiard balls on a table, the Rutherford scattering ( or angle change ) of alpha particles by gold nuclei, the Bragg scattering ( or diffraction ) of electrons and X-rays by a cluster of atoms, and the inelastic scattering of a fission fragment as it traverses a thin foil.

The Union also runs the Parkwood bar Woody's, " Rutherford bar " ( Rutherford ) and nightclub The Venue.

Rutherford also conjectured that all nuclei other than hydrogen contain chargeless particles, which he named the neutron.

Initially, Stewart remained loyal to Rutherford, and went so far as to allege in the legislature that insurgent Liberal John R. Boyle had offered two members of the legislative assembly ( MLAs ), who were also hotel keepers, immunity from prosecution for liquor violations if they would support a new government in which Boyle was Attorney-General.

Besides his law practice, Rutherford was a successful real estate investor, and also owned an interest in gold mining equipment situated on the North Saskatchewan River.

Rutherford also criticized McCauley's past record, accusing him of silence on issues that were of concern to his constituents.

Rutherford also introduced free school texts in the province, though he was criticized for commissioning the texts from a Toronto publisher ( which printed them in New York ) rather than locally.

Rutherford also acted as director of the Canada National Fire Insurance Company, the Imperial Canadian Trust Company, the Great West Permanent Loan Company, and the Monarch Life Assurance Company.

( Coincidentally, Hickson had played a housekeeper in the first film in which Margaret Rutherford played Miss Marple.
