What's in a title? It's all academic
Article Abstract:
Some Oxford academics believe that promotion to the title of professor should only be allowed in cases where the member of staff has undertaken particularly valuable research. Others believe that large-scale promotions would help to attract and retain staff and would reflect more flexible salary systems in other universities. No final decision has yet been made at Oxford, but more professors are being appointed at other institutions, especially those which have been transformed from a polytechnic into a university.

The welding equipment market is expected to grow 3% to 5% per year until 2000, and the market is dominated by arc welding equipment. New processes are currently being developed that will further reduce costs up to 50%.
