Obvious sources were The Velvet Underground ( the Dream Syndicate could be called early VU revivalists ) and Television, but echoes of the Quicksilver Messenger Service and Creedence Clearwater Revival could also be discerned.

The VX series also formed the first Holden Ute, designated VU.

Many other ICS Senior Members were also students of Runner and had completed doctorates at VU, as mentioned.

The ICS has had a long cooperative relationship with the VU, the University of Toronto's federation of Theological Schools, and more recently also the University's Faculty of Philosophy.

The main influences on Vollenhoven's thought were the VU's founder Abraham Kuyper and leading theologian Herman Bavinck who both taught a theistic realism, along with a number of other VU professors and outside sources — Anema taught a transcendental realism, Wilhelm Geesink introduced Vollenhoven to the critical philosophy of Kant, Jan Woltjer taught him Classical languages and the literature and philosophy those languages carried, Woltjer also brought Vollenhoven into awareness of the modern natural-scientific theories of Lorentz, van der Waals, and Einstein.

Thus the two emerging philosophers became more than friends but also brothers-in-law, while later they also became colleagues as professors at VU.

VU developed a research partnership with Brazilian researchers and conducted a sports science research symposium that attracted sports science researchers from Brazil and Australia, including senior researchers from the Brazilian Olympic Committee.

It was developed by Monolith Productions, published by VU Games.

VU offers internationally recognised qualifications ranging from certificates and diplomas through to higher education degrees, postgraduate masters programs and doctoral research degrees ( PhD ).

The VU Research Plan 2012-2016 supports multidisciplinary research in seven target areas: applied informatics ; diversity and wellbeing ; education, diversity and lifelong learning ; supply chain, logistics and transport ; sport, exercise and active living ; strategic economics ; and sustainable environmental technologies.

VU conducts research with a wide range of partners including The Western Bulldogs, City West Water, Western Health, Linfox, the Victoria Employer Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Australian Institute of Sport, all levels of government, and other educational institutes in Australia and overseas.

VU has research partners around the world.

VU introduced research SEED funding program to support collaborative research in applied economics, accounting, tourism, sports management, information technology and logistics at China ’ s Central University of Finance and Economics, and the Beijing Jiaotong University.

From its humble beginnings, the VU has become a modern research university.

So, Bavinck, when he was first invited to join the VU Faculty, had to weigh the merits of teaching what concerned him in his theological research, in such a seemingly independent environment.

Before, the regionalists had been seated divided, with the SNP with the Gaullist-dominated European Democratic Alliance, VU, the Valdotanian Union and the Basque Nationalist Party ( PNV ) in the Rainbow Group, together with green parties, the South Tyrolean People's Party ( SVP ) with the Group of the European People's Party, and Batasuna among the Non-Inscrits.

The three remaining EFA member parties in Parliament ( SNP, VU and Canarian Coalition ) formed a common group with the French Energie Radicale list and the Italian Pannella List.

VU College provides a range of student support programs for local and international students across all VU faculties, including assistance with English language, literacy and numeracy.

Initially all were top loading, usually with cassette on one side, and VU meters and recording level controls on the other side.

Each VU has 72 vector registers, each of which has 256 vector elements, along with 8 sets of six different types of vector pipelines: addition / shifting, multiplication, division, logical operations, masking, and load / store.

The intellectual story of Valparaiso University in the post-war years might be best summarized by John Strietelmeier who wrote that what united the VU thinkers of this period was " the dream that somewhere there might be a place where high faith and high intellect might meet to provide an apostate age with a new vision and a new hope.

" His writings represent a critical set of impressions from the 1950s and 1960s at VU and are collected by Baepler in his Witness to His Generation: Selected Writings of John Strietelmeier along with a significant biography of Strietelmeier's life and intellectual context.

However, by the mid 1970s, tape recorders ' quality had improved greatly where a cassette deck with manual level controls and VU meters became a standard component of home high fidelity systems.

Most other manufacturers adopted a standard top-loading format with piano key controls, dual VU meters, and slider level controls.

There was a variety of configurations leading to the next standard format in the late 1970s, which settled on front-loading ( see main picture ) with cassette well on one side, dual VU meters on the other, and later dual-cassette decks with meters in the middle.

More sophisticated models may feature dual cassette decks ( often featuring high-speed dubbing ), separate bass and treble level controls, five-or ten-band graphic equalizers, Dolby noise reduction, analog or LED sound level ( VU ) meters, larger speakers, ' soft-touch ' tape deck controls, multiple shortwave ( SW ) band reception with fine tuning, automatic song search functions for cassettes, line and / or phono inputs and outputs, microphone inputs, loudness switches, and detachable speakers.

The acceptance of federalism in place of separatism by VU in the 1970s did not sit well with the party's right-wing and a split became inevitable, particularly after the party entered the coalition government of Leo Tindemans ( CVP, Christian-Democrat ).

Though a faith-based institution, the VU receives government funding on a parity basis with the public universities.

Together with fellow centre-right party the Progressive Citizens ' Party ( FBP ), the VU dominates Liechtenstein politics.

ICS is affiliated with the Free University ( VU ) in Amsterdam.

At some point, ICS's affiliation with VU required that a full-time Senior Member in History of Philosophy be added to the faculty, so that candidates for the PhD program in philosophy sponsored by VU, could meet VU's own internal requirements regarding the credit hours in discipline of history of philosophy, a trademark of VU's philosophy faculty since its establishment under Vollenhoven.
