This report, which had a marked effect on Theosophy, remains as with all SPR reports the opinion of the member concerned ; the SPR holds no corporate opinions.

In a 1986 press release to the newspapers and leading magazines in Great Britain, Canada and the USA, the SPR retracted the Hodgson report, after a re-examination of the case by the Fortean psychic Dr. Vernon Harrison, past president of The Royal Photographic Society and formerly Research Manager to Thomas De La Rue, an expert on forgery, as follows: " Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society, was unjustly condemned, new study concludes.

In April 2008, Speaker Pelosi called on President Bush to suspend purchases of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ( SPR ) temporarily.

Although there are small-scale ( 2, 000, 000 barrels ) heating oil reserves in Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey under the aegis of the Department of Energy ( DOE ), the federal government maintains no gasoline reserves on anything like the scale of the SPR.

Many optical biosensors based on the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance ( SPR ) are techniques.

A range of immuno-and ligand-binding assays for the detection and measurement of small molecules such as water-soluble vitamins and chemical contaminants ( drug residues ) such as sulfonamides and Beta-agonists have been developed for use on SPR based sensor systems, often adapted from existing ELISA or other immunological assay.

SPR can detect binding of label free molecules on the surface of a chip.

The SPR / A and SPR / B only differ on the type of scope used.

Barrett had a special interest in divining rods and in 1897 and 1900 he published two articles on the subject in Proceedings of the SPR, the society's magazine.

Eric Dingwall, who catalogued Home's collection on its arrival at the SPR does not record the presence of the mouth organs, and Lamont speculates that it is unlikely Dingwall would have missed these or not made them public.

For this, a so-called bait ligand is immobilized on the dextran surface of the SPR crystal.

* HPB and the SPR Vernon Harrison's book on the Hodgson report

The technology is based on surface plasmon resonance ( SPR ), an optical phenomenon that enables detection of unlabeled interactants in real time.

Other variations include single non-transferable vote ( SNTV ), cumulative voting and limited voting, all of which offer a form of semi-proportional representation ( SPR ).

One of the first collaborative efforts of the SPR was its Census of Hallucinations, which researched apparitional experiences and hallucinations in the sane.

The SPR was the first organisation of its kind in the world, its stated purpose being " to approach these varied problems without prejudice or prepossession of any kind, and in the same spirit of exact and unimpassioned enquiry which has enabled science to solve so many problems, once not less obscure nor less hotly debated.

) and the SPR were to introduce a number of other neologisms which have entered the English language, such as ' telepathy ', which was coined by Frederic Myers.

Since the directive in 2001, the capacity of the SPR increased by due to natural enlargement of the salt caverns in which the reserves are stored.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 has since directed the Secretary of Energy to fill the SPR to the full authorized capacity, a process which will require a physical expansion of the Reserve's facilities.

* Sights: The original SPR used an early PRI flip-up front sight with an elevation dial, which has since been discontinued.

The new bikes were four-cylinder 750 cc sports machines, the F4 range, which included a series of limited production run models, such as the all black paint work SPR model (" Special Production Racing ") which was featured in the movie I, Robot.

The incidents were duly investigated by Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair, both members of the SPR, who were convinced by the evidence which they encountered during their thirteen month investigation.

In October, 2007, FN Herstal announced that it would produce Controlled Round Feed Winchester Model 70 rifles at its facility in Columbia, South Carolina, where it currently manufactures the M240, M249, and M16 for the United States military, as well as its SPR and PBR lines, which are, in fact, variants of the modern Model 70 Controlled Round Feed rifles.

In 1892, after leaving the SPR, he acquired the lease of the St. Anne's Well Gardens in Hove from the estate of financier and philanthropist Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, which he cultivated into a popular pleasure garden, where from 1894 he started staging public exhibitions of hot air ballooning, parachute jumps, a monkey house, a fortune teller, a hermit living in a cave and magic lantern shows of a series of dissolving views.

The SPR became the model for similar societies in other European countries and the United States during the late 19th century.

SPR curves measured during the adsorption of a polyelectrolyte and then a clay mineral self-assembly | self-assembled film onto a thin ( ca.

The formation of the SPR was the first systematic effort to organize scientists and scholars for a critical and sustained investigation of paranormal phenomena.

James was influential in the founding of the American Society for Psychical Research ( ASPR ) in New York City in 1885, three years after the British Society for Psychical Research ( SPR ) was inaugurated in London, leading to systematic, critical investigation of paranormal phenomena.

The current SPR sites are expected to be usable until around 2025.

On November 13, 2001, President George W. Bush announced that the SPR would be filled, saying, " The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an important element of our Nation's energy security.

This mechanism was adopted when refilling the SPR began, and once filling is completed, revenues from the sale of future royalties will be paid into the federal treasury.

Another method to be considered is Surface Plasmon Resonance ( SPR ).

SPR can be a powerful method for quickly determining protein activity and overall yield.

The exact history of the SPR is unclear, but there appear to be either four or five prime iterations of the weapon, culminating in the most recent Mk 12 Mod 1 version.

After visiting the house, George Fallows, a senior reporter for the Daily Mirror, suggested that the Society for Psychical Research ( SPR ) be called in to investigate.

However, in their simplest form, SPR reflectivity measurements can be used to detect molecular adsorption, such as polymers, DNA or proteins, etc.

This value can also be found using the dynamical SPR parameters and, as in any chemical reaction, it is the association rate divided by the dissociation rate.

The actual SPR signal can be explained by the electromagnetic ' coupling ' of the incident light with the surface plasmon of the gold layer.

The Society for Psychical Research ( SPR ) was founded in London in 1882.

The SPR was founded in 1882 in London by a group of eminent thinkers including Edmund Gurney, Frederic William Henry Myers, William Fletcher Barrett, Henry Sidgwick and Edmund Dawson Rogers.
