Current students, staff, former staff and friends of the University are also considered members of the broader VU Alumni Community.

VU also developed a research partnership with the University of Malaya in sports science and biomedical disciplines.

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.

The board of trustees of the university is the Vereniging VU-Windesheim, which also manages Windesheim University of Applied Sciences ( Dutch: Christelijke Hogeschool Windesheim ) in Zwolle as well as VU University Medical Center, which is the university's teaching hospital.

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 has a range of clubs and societies related to courses, sports and recreation, culture, religion, community work and politics.

The VU Alumni Association has more than 80, 000 members in more than 140 countries, including in international chapters in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Thailand.

VU has research partners around the world.

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 VU has about 22, 738 students, most of whom are full-time students.

Although current students and faculty members are adherents of many religions, as a consequence of its Protestant heritage, the VU has always placed a special emphasis on the social and cultural context in which it operates.

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

The complete genome of Andel-Schipper has been analysed by the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam, who are researching longevity genes.

VU has co-sponsored and co-supervised the awarding of ICS doctoral degrees.

The species has been assigned Vulnerable ( VU ) status because of several reasons including restricted extent of occurrence ( less than 20, 000 km < sup > 2 </ sup >), decline in habitat quality and number of mature individuals.

Since 1889, VU has been a two-year university, although baccalaureate degrees in seven select areas are available.

Unlike most other two-year higher-education institutions, however, VU is a residential campus and has been since its inception over two hundred years ago.

Its population in the wild has been reduced by habitat destruction and overcollecting ; it is therefore classified as Vulnerable species ( VU A2ac v2. 3 ) by the IUCN.

The U. S. News & World Report has ranked Vanguard among the best baccalaureate colleges in the west in their 2011-2012 rankings of colleges and universities and The Princeton Review named VU a 2011-2012 “ Best in the West ” College.

VU has a long history of athletics ; varsity and club athletics ( men ’ s baseball and basketball and women ’ s soccer ) and an intramural program are offered.

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.

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 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.

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

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.
