# David Wiley Mullins

David Wiley Mullins (born August 11, 1906 in Ash Flat, Arkansas, died September 22, 1987) was an American academic. He was the president of University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas from 1960 to 1974, the second longest serving president.

## Early life and education

Mullins was born August 11, 1906, in Ash Flat, Arkansas, to Roscoe C. and Emma Matilda Mullins. He attended University of Arkansas, graduating cum laude in 1931. In 1934, he earned a master's degree from the University of Colorado. He received his doctoral degree from Columbia University in 1941.

## Career

Began his teaching career during the Great Depression as a high school teacher in the small rural town of Lepanto, Arkansas, where he also as the superintendent of schools. He later became the chair of the department of educational administration for Alabama Polytechnic Institute, which would later become Auburn University. However, he served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
After the war, Mullins returned to Alabama Polytechnic Institute as a vice president, serving from 1949 to 1960. However, his alma mater would soon need a new president. In 1959, John Tyler Caldwell left the Arkansas to become chancellor of North Carolina State University. The university search committee named Storm Whaley as acting president. In 1960, Mullins was named the president.
During his presidency, the campus had tremendous growth. The student enrollment more than doubled, which lead to a massive construction phase. The university built new a student union, library, and communications building along with new residence halls. Among the new residence halls were Yocum, Humphreys, Fulbright, Hotz and Carlson Terrace. Much of the building was funded by private gifts to the university. However, similar to most college campuses during the 1960s, Mullins also presided over the tumultuous period that included the Vietnam War protests.
Additionally, Mullins helped create the University of Arkansas System, brokering a series of mergers. First came Little Rock University in 1969, which became University of Arkansas at Little Rock, along with Arkansas A&M in 1971, which would be renamed University of Arkansas at Monticello, and Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical & Normal (AM&N), eventually renamed the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in 1972.

## Personal life

In August 1935, he married Eula Elizabeth Harrell. They had three children, Carolyn, David Jr., and Gary. His son, David W. Mullins, Jr., would go on to become the Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1991 to 1994.
In 1965, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Hendrix College. In 1969, the Arkansas Democrat named Mullins Man of the Year in Arkansas. In 1983, the University of Arkansas awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.

# Deborah Dultzin

Deborah Dultzin Kessler (also published as Deborah Dultzin-Hacyan) is a Mexican astrophysicist specializing in quasars, blazars, active galactic nuclei, and supermassive black holes. She is a professor and researcher in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) Institute of Astronomy.

## Education and career

Dultzin is the daughter of Arieh Dulzin, a Zionist activist from Minsk in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union (now Belarus) who emigrated to Mexico in 1928, and to Israel in 1956. Her mother was Fredzia Kessler, an oil painter from Warsaw, Poland, who had also emigrated to Mexico as a child in 1929. She was born in Monterrey in 1945, and grew up with her mother after her father left Mexico.
As a high school student and later at UNAM, she loved mathematics but struggled with physics. Nevertheless, she completed a degree in physics in order to aim for a career in astronomy. Her anti-American political stance, and the influence of Guillermo Haro, persuaded her to continue her studies in the Soviet Union, where she went next with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She earned a master's degree in astrophysics at Moscow State University, working with Yakov Zeldovich, but for personal reasons returned to Mexico without completing a doctorate, at that time taking a position as a researcher at UNAM.
At the suggestion of a colleague in a sabbatical visit to Paris, she compiled a doctoral thesis based on her existing published work, and defended it at the Sorbonne University in 1986. Her dissertation was Spectrophotometrie des noyaux actifs des galaxies [Spectrophotometry of active galactic nuclei], directed by Jean Heyvaerts.

## Recognition

Dultzin is a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences. She was the 2010 winner of the Ciudad Capital Heberto Castillo award. In 2016, UNAM gave her the National University Award. She is also a winner of the UNAM Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Recognition.
In 2007, an international symposium was held in honor of her 60th birthday.

# De Molen

De Molen is a defunct restaurant in Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 2008 and retained that rating until 2014. On 14 July 2014 it was announced that the restaurant was closed with immediate effect due to bankruptcy. The economic crisis and the expensive location proved fatal for the restaurant.
In 2013, GaultMillau awarded the restaurant 16 out of 20 points.
Head chef of De Molen was Wouter van Laarhoven. Maître Jerry van der Pluijm was the owner of the restaurant, which he opened in 2000.
De restaurant was housed in the former storage area of corn mill De Couwenbergh [nl]. This mill was built in 1849 but burned down and was repaired in 1881. In 1944, the mill was renewed only to be severely damaged in October 1944 during the liberation of Kaatsheuvel. Due to lack of funds, the mill was dismantled in 1950 and the milling was done with power of a diesel engine. The mill was sold in 1994 and the new owner wanted to have a windmill again. After a long and costly renovation, the mill was working again in 1998.
# Decrement table

Decrement tables, also called life table methods, are used to calculate the probability of certain events.

## Birth control

Life table methods are often used to study birth control effectiveness. In this role, they are an alternative to the Pearl Index.
As used in birth control studies, a decrement table calculates a separate effectiveness rate for each month of the study, as well as for a standard period of time (usually 12 months). Use of life table methods eliminates time-related biases (i.e. the most fertile couples getting pregnant and dropping out of the study early, and couples becoming more skilled at using the method as time goes on), and in this way is superior to the Pearl Index.
Two kinds of decrement tables are used to evaluate birth control methods. Multiple-decrement (or competing) tables report net effectiveness rates. These are useful for comparing competing reasons for couples dropping out of a study. Single-decrement (or noncompeting) tables report gross effectiveness rates, which can be used to accurately compare one study to another.
# Deepwater Railway

The Deepwater Railway was an intrastate short line railroad located in West Virginia in the United States which operated from 1898 to 1907.
William N. Page, a civil engineer and entrepreneur, had begun a small logging railroad in Fayette County in 1896, sometimes called the Loup Creek and Deepwater Railway. It extended from an interchange at Deep Water with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) on the south bank of the navigable Kanawha River 4 miles (6.4 km) up a steep grade into the mountainous terrain southward, following the winding Loup Creek to reach a sawmill at Robson which was owned by the Loup Creek Estate. It was operated by the C&O under a verbal agreement.
In 1898, the Deepwater Railway was incorporated, and an extension was planned to reach nearby coal deposits at Page. In 1902, assisted by silent partner, millionaire industrialist Henry H. Rogers of Standard Oil fame, Page expanded his plans, first to extend further in West Virginia to Matoaka. In 1907, the Deepwater Railway was acquired by its sister Tidewater Railway to form the Virginian Railway.
# Deenabandhu

Deenabandhu is a defunct Malayalam language newspaper printed daily and published from the Thrissur city, Kerala in India. The newspaper was the first periodicals published from Kingdom of Cochin which supported the Indian Independence Movement.

## History

Deenabandhu was started as a weekly on 26 January 1941 from Thrissur city with V. R. Krishnan Ezhuthachan as editor-in-chief.

Majority of the news came from the political movements from the Kochi state. The paper was also official organ of the Cochin Prajamandalam. During the Quit India Movement, the Editor and the staff were imprisoned. Later, the Deenabandu resumed publication in 1944 after the release of its staff from jail. In January 1946, the Deenabandu was turned into a daily newspaper and was shifted to Ernakulam. In 1962 due to financial difficulties, Deenabandu ceased publication.
