Brock, CLAIRE. "The public worth of Mary Somerville." British Journal for the History of Science 39, no. 2 (2006): 255–72. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0007087405007612.

Abstract:

This article assesses the reputation of Mary Somerville in the 1830s and suggests that critical confusion over her status in the changing world of early nineteenth-century science is not new. Drawing on Somerville’s own writings, contemporary newspaper and periodical reviews, political debates and unpublished manuscripts, Somerville's ‘uniqueness’ as a public figure is examined through the eyes of both the nascent scientific community of the time as well as the wider audience for her work. Somerville's status as a popularizer and an educator is more complicated than may have previously been assumed and can be both confirmed and undermined by an analysis of contemporary public opinion. Although her works were directed at the public who indirectly paid her pension for services to science, Somerville's private and published comments about and within her writings offer an alternative interpretation. Despite an apparent turn to more popular works in order to bolster her finances, Mary Somerville relished the specialist aspect of her writings and valued the difficulties which prevented the ordinary reader from obtaining ultimate insight into celestial mechanics.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: In written work and a lecture at the 2008 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences that was co-sponsored by the Canadian Philosophical Association, Margaret Somerville has claimed that allowing same-sex marriage is unethical because doing so violates the inherently procreative function of marriage and thereby undermines the rights and duties that exist between children and their biological parents. In my paper, I offer five reasons for thinking that Somerville’s argument for this conclusion is unpersuasive. In each case her argument either begs important questions about same-sex marriage or else relies on insufficient evidence to justify excluding a vulnerable minority group from participating in a state-sponsored social institution.

Full text

Abstract:

Accurately characterizing near-source ground motion is an important consideration for dam safety in California. Near-source ground motion can contain velocity pulses that are amplified by directivity, which is the constructive interference of S waves radiated by a propagating rupture front. Accordingly, Somerville et. al. (1997) developed an empirical model for predicting fault-normal (maximum) and fault-parallel (minimum) spectral acceleration for periods>0.5 sec. We compiled near-source ground motion records representing significant directivity and rotated them to the component with maximum overall spectral acceleration for common periods of directivity amplification (and importance to dam stability analyses, 0.5≤T≤3.0 sec), which we call SAMAX. As expected, SAMAX correlates with the orientation of a strong velocity pulse in the directivity record. Comparing the amplitude and orientation of SAMAX to Somerville's predictions, we find that strong velocity pulses produced by strike-slip faulting are reasonably aligned with the fault normal, and their corresponding SAMAX is satisfactorily predicted by Somerville's model as modified by Abrahamson. However, the orientations of strong velocity pulses in reverse-faulting records can depart significantly from fault normal, and their corresponding SAMAX can exceed Somerville's predictions appreciably.

Full text

Abstract:

In September 2017, Margaret Somerville wrote a powerful article in The Guardian arguing that euthanasia offered individuals death rather than loving care. She cautioned against normalising assisted dying and the unavoidable “slippery slope”. This article will explore the arguments put forward in Somerville’s piece, against John Stuart Mill’s harm principle. The author will argue that the harm principle is preferred for the following reasons; an individual’s autonomy is central to a liberal society, individuals should also be free to make their own choices about their life, and the law should be equal to all. The article will look at criticisms and support for the harm principle and will finally reach a conclusion on whether or not assisted suicide and euthanasia should be legalised.

Full text

Abstract:

This article describes the development of scaling relations between seismic moment and rupture area of earthquakes in stable continental regions (SCRs). The article reviews the relations developed by Somerville and compares them with relations developed by other investigators. It also compares the scaling relations of SCR earthquakes with those in tectonically active continental regions (TCRs). Three different methods of estimating rupture area, based on aftershocks, slip models, and duration methods were used by Somerville to analyze the relation between seismic moment and rupture area, using earthquake source parameters compiled from published literature. For each category of data, the relations obtained were not significantly different from those obtained by constraining them to be self-similar (scale-invariant), so self-similar relations were adopted. The stress drops corresponding to these scaling relations range from 51 to 86 bars, with an average of 65 bars. This value is comparable with the value of 58 bars obtained by Leonard, and it is recommended that the Leonard scaling relations for SCR earthquakes be used for the NGA East Project. To a first approximation, the results of Somerville and those of Somerville et al. indicate that the rupture areas of SCR earthquakes are about half those of TCR earthquakes, and their stress drops are about 2.8 times higher. Allmann and Shearer find less of a difference, presumably because their intraplate category includes some earthquakes that we would assign to TCR instead of SCR. Their study indicates that the rupture areas of intraplate earthquakes are about two-thirds those of TCR earthquakes, and their stress drops are about 2 times higher.

Abstract:

The disintegration of recovered paper is the first operation in the preparation of recycled pulp. It is known that the defibering process follows a first order kinetics from which it is possible to obtain the disintegration kinetic constant (KD) by means of different ways. The disintegration constant can be obtained from the Somerville index results (%ISV) and from the dissipated energy per volume unit (SS). The %ISV is related to the quantity of non-defibrated paper, as a measure of the non-disintegrated fiber residual (percentage of flakes), which is expressed in disintegration time units. In this work, disintegration kinetics from recycled coated paper has been evaluated, working at 20 rev/s rotor speed and for different fiber consistency (6, 8, 10, 12, and 14%). The results showed that the values of experimental disintegration kinetic constant, KD, through the analysis of Somerville index, as function of time, increased with the disintegration consistency. Therefore, as consistency increased, the disintegration time was drastically reduced. The calculation of the disintegration kinetic constant (modeled KD), extracted from the Rayleigh’s dissipation function, showed a good correlation with the experimental values using the evolution of the Somerville index or with the dissipated energy.

Full text

Abstract:

The novels of Somerville and Ross revolve around the Big Houses of the Anglo-Irish gentry. This paper focuses on three of those novels as markers of the changing condition of the Anglo-Irish themselves, from the seeming stability of the late Victorian era through the changes wrought by Land Acts, war and Irish independence. The three novels form an arc in which houses and family fortunes deteriorate. The Big House of Bruff, in The Real Charlotte (1894), exists in a state of sleepy complacency which masks dangerous stagnation; the son of the house is unmarried and directionless, while members of the rising middle class take advantage of his inertia to advance their own interests. The Big House of Mount Music (1919) is in danger of being lost due to the Land Acts; for failing to recognize and prepare for this possibility, the owner is derided for his stupidity and termed a dinosaur. By 1925, when The Big House of Inver was published, the Big House and its owners are depicted in a state of hopeless ruin. The authors’ evolving views are considered in terms of their own circumstances and struggles to save their family homes.

Abstract:

The use of barbed sutures in tendon repair and reconstruction is advantageous because it allows for a knotless suturing technique. In this biomechanical study, we compared barbed sutures with conventional sutures in tendon transfers using the Pulvertaft weave technique in a human cadaveric model. Thirty human cadaveric finger flexor tendons were transected and divided into three groups of ten tendons, which were then reconstructed by the Pulvertaft weave technique using 3-0 Prolene (Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ, USA), 3-0 Ethilon (Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ, USA) or 3-0 V-Loc (Covidien Deutschland GmbH, Neustadt, Germany) sutures. Biomechanical testing showed that repairs in the V-Loc group had significantly greater ultimate tensile strength and stiffness than conventional sutures. The time taken to complete the weave and the length of sutures used were also the least in the V-Loc group. Our study has shown that the barbed suture has a better biomechanical performance than conventional suture types when used in the Pulvertaft weave technique.

Abstract:

In 1945, Janet Vaughan, a distinguished haematologist, became Principal of Somerville College, Oxford, her Principalship lasting until her retirement in 1967. Described in her obituary as ‘a woman of extraordinary vitality and not a little impatience’, Vaughan — awarded the DBE in 1957 — played a key role in steering the college through a period of major change in British Higher Education. Not least amongst the changes was a significant growth in the number of students at university across the country, which resulted in numerous, often high-profile, construction projects. Somerville, which had been founded in 1879 as the University of Oxford's second college for women, was not untouched by this development, and at Vaughan's retirement party, her colleague, the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dorothy Hodgkin, referred to the several new buildings completed during the previous two decades. The college's post-war building campaign had begun modestly with two small infill developments by Geddes Hyslop in 1948–50 and 1954–56.

Abstract:

Abstract: Mary Somerville (1780-1872) and William Whewell (1794-1866) both contributed to the disciplinary formation of the sciences in Great Britain in the nineteenth century: she as a synthesizer who connected the various branches of knowledge in the emerging physical sciences, and he as the first person who used the history of all branches of science to define what distinguished scientific knowledge from other kinds. Both published bodies of scholarly work whose volume and breadth astounded their contemporaries and seem almost unimaginable today. Neither is included in standard histories of science because neither made the kind of original discovery around which those histories are organized. They become much easier to comprehend in the context of polymathy, which recognizes discerning and illuminating coherence in large bodies of knowledge as an exceptional but essential creative act. Their writings reveal the adeptness of the polymathic mind in framing large bodies of knowledge through two rhetorical moves: (1) association, which connects the subject with commonly held assumptions and values and draws on aesthetic traditions that have emotional resonance; and (2) orientation, which provides organizing ideas and conceptual frameworks that establish the coherence of the subject matter and guide the reader through the text. The distinctively anti-disciplinary approach of Somerville and the fluid nature of the disciplinary categories Whewell used to organize his history suggest that the world of knowledge, including science, has never been divided into the territorial disciplinary structures that dominate higher education. Like polymaths collectively, Somerville and Whewell are apparent anomalies whose very existence challenges our notions about the role and value of specialization.

Abstract:

Introduction: This study aims to gain a better understanding of current practice for the surgical management and rehabilitation of flexor tendon injuries in Australia, with the intent of establishing common guidelines for training of young surgeons. Methods: A survey was distributed to the membership of the Australian Hand Surgery Society to determine whether a consensus could be obtained for: suture material and gauge; core and epitenon suture techniques; sheath and pulley management; and post-operative protocols for primary flexor tendon repair. Results: The predominant materials used for core suture are TicronTM Suture (Tyco Healthcare Group LP, Norwalk, Connecticut, USA) (34%) and EthibondTM Polyester Suture (Ethicon, Somerville, New Jersey, USA) (24%). The two core suture configurations commonly used are the Adelaide (45%) and Kessler (32%) repair. The predominant materials used for epitendinous sutures are 6-0 ProleneTM Polypropylene Suture (Ethicon, Somerville, New Jersey, USA) (56%), 5-0 ProleneTM (21%) and 6-0 EthilonTM Nylon Suture (Ethicon, Somerville, New Jersey, USA) (13%); and the majority (63%) use a running epitendinous technique. The management of critical pulleys is variable, with 89% prepared to perform some release of A2 and A4 pulleys. Rehabilitation protocols vary widely, with 24% of respondents using the same method for all patients, while 76% tailor their approach to each patient. Some component of active motion was used by most. Discussion: There exists some consensus on the management of flexor tendon injuries in Australia. However, the management of critical pulleys and methods of post-operative rehabilitation remain varied. For the training of young surgeons, a majority advise a 3-0 gauge braided polyester core suture of four strands, combined with a 6-0 ProleneTM simple running epitendinous suture for increased tendon repair strength and smooth glide. Trainees should attempt to retain the integrity of the A2 and A4 pulleys. Post-operative rehabilitation should include a component of active flexion.
