		William Henry Eccles (August 23 1875 - April 29 1966) was a (The people of Great Britain) British (A scientist trained in physics) physicist and a pioneer in the development of radio communication.
		In 1912 Eccles suggested that (Radiation from the sun) solar radiation was responsible for the observed differences in (An electromagnetic wave with a wavelength between 0.5 cm to 30,000 m) radio wave propagation during the day and night.

		Eccles was deeply impressed by Popper's main tenet, that scientific hypotheses should be both clearly formulated and testable by experiment, and that the strength of a hypothesis depended on the failure of rigorous investigation to falsify it rather than on evidence which apparently supported it.
		Eccles had proposed in 1961 that PAD may be generated by the prolonged action of a chemical transmitter at synaptic contacts on terminal boutons of afferent fibres (195).
		Eccles was awarded a Royal Medal in 1962, and the award in 1963 of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, shared with A.L.Hodgkin and A.F.Huxley, recognized his fundamental contributions to the ionic mechanisms of synaptic transmission in the brain.

	Eccles, John (1903-1997) \| Learning & Memory
		The Australian-born scientist John Carew Eccles was a pioneer in neuroscience, discovering the elementary synaptic processes of the central nervous system known as excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs and IPSPs).
		In 1951, Eccles suddenly came to the conclusion that his former position regarding synaptic transmission in the spinal cord was untenable and that the situation was mediated by a chemical transmitter, just as at peripheral synapses.
		Eccles and his colleagues analyzed a newly reported form of spinal inhibition reported by Frank and Fuortes in 1957 and found that it was due to reduced transmitter release from the presynaptic terminals of the test fibers, a finding they described as presynaptic inhibition.

		He was born at his father's town house in the year 1805, and when he died in 1884, at the age of 79 years, his life and achievements in the twin fields of commerce and politics, may well be termed an epitome of the town's progress in the 19th century.

		According to William of Jumieges, (who was not only contemporary with the events he relates, but dedicated his work to the Conqueror, so that his authority on this point is unquestionable), it was not until after the marriage that the fact of their near relationship was brought to the cognizance of the Pope.

	Juilliard \| The Juilliard Journal Online
		Already house composer at Lincoln's Inn Fields Theater, John Eccles (1668-1735) sharpened his own powers of musical persuasion in a quest to win the contest for which the prize was not a golden apple but 100 guineas.
		No expense was spared for the contest: the submissions by Eccles and his three competitors—Daniel Purcell (brother of Henry Purcell), Gottfried Finger, and John Weldon—were given public performances at the Dorset Garden Theater prior to being voted upon by the theater's subscribers.
		Although William Boyce (1711-1779) wrote in the gamut of 18th-century musical genres and for both the public theater and the court, he remains best known for a set of elegant three-movement symphonies that are suggestive of an early Classic style.

		As the programme notes, the overall shape of Eccles' work is different: it's a through-composed drama with few arias or set pieces, and the music focusses on characterization and interaction, especially sexual interaction.
		Maybe the most striking instance of Handel's choice of text to set as an aria is "I must with speed amuse her".
		Eccles sets this as recitative, as the transition to Ino's visit, required to advance the plot.
