Abstract:

The composer Thomas Tallis (ca. 1505–November 1585) lived and worked through much of the turbulent Tudor period in England. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he did not just react to radical change: he thrived on it. He helped invent new musical styles to meet the demands of the English Reformation. He revived and reimagined older musical forms for a new era. Fewer than a hundred of his works have survived, but they are incredibly diverse, from miniature settings of psalms and hymns to a monumental forty-voice motet. In this new biography, author Kerry McCarthy traces Tallis’s long career from his youthful appointment at Dover Priory to his years as a senior member of the Chapel Royal. Each chapter is focused on an original document of his life or his music. The book also takes readers on a guided journey down the Thames to the palaces, castles, and houses where Tallis made music for the four monarchs he served. It ends with reflections on Tallis’s will, his epitaph (whose complete text McCarthy has recently rediscovered), and other postmortem remembrances that give us a glimpse of his significant place in the sixteenth-century musical world. A companion website illustrates the book with a broad selection of sound samples from Tallis’s works.

Abstract:

The origins of Santa Claus, or so I am told, is that the young Bishop Nicholas secretly delivered three bags of gold as dowries for three young girls to their indebted father to save them from a life of prostitution. Armed with immortality, a factory of elves and a fleet of reindeer, his has been a lasting legacy, inextricably linked to Christmas. Of course, this Christmas looks a little different. Amidst a global pandemic, shimmying down the chimneys of strangers certainly does not adhere to social distancing guidelines. Some borders remain closed, and in some instances, the quarantine period is far too long. After all, he only has 24 hours to spread cheer across the world. As with the rest of us, Santa Claus is likely to get the remote working treatment. The reindeers this year are likely to be self-driving, reminiscent of an Amazon swarm of technology, and the naughty and nice lists are likely to be based on algorithms derived from social media accounts. In the age of the fourth industrial revolution, it is difficult to imagine that letters suffice anymore. How many posts were verified as real before shared? Enough to get you a drone. Fake news? Here is a lump of coal. Will we see elves in personal protective equipment (PPE) and will Santa Claus, high risk because of age and his likely comorbidities from the copious amount of cookies, have to self-isolate in the North Pole? In fact, will there be any toys at all this year? Surely production has been stalled with the restrictions on imports and exports into the North Pole. Perhaps, there is a view to outsourcing, or perhaps, there is a shift towards local production and supply chains. More importantly, as we have done in many instances in this period, maybe we should pause to reflect on the current structures in place. The sanctification of a figure so clearly dismissive of the Global South and to be critical, quite classist must be called into question. From some of the keenest minds, the contributions in this book make a strong case against this holly jolly man. We traverse important topics such as, is the constitution too lenient with a clear intruder who has conveniently branded himself a Good Samaritan? Allegations of child labour under the guise of elves, blatant animal cruelty, constant surveillance in stark contrast to many democratic ideals and his possible threat to national security come to the fore. Nevertheless, as the song goes, he is aware when you are asleep, and he knows when you are awake. Is feminism a farce to this beloved man – what role does Mrs Claus play and why are there inherent gender norms in his toys? Then is the worry of closed borders and just how accurate his COVID-19 tests are. Of course, this brings his ethics into question. While there is an agreement that transparency, justice and fairness, nonmaleficence, responsibility, and privacy are the core ethical principles, the meaning of these principles differs, particularly across countries and cultures. Why are we subject to Santa Claus’ notions of good and evil when he is so far removed from our context? As Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein would tell you, this is fundamentally a nudge from Santa Claus for children to fit into his ideals. A nudge, coined by Thaler, is a choice that predictably changes people’s behaviour without forbidding any options or substantially changing their economic incentives. Even with pinched cheeks and an air of holiday cheer, Santa Claus has to come under scrutiny. In the process of decolonising knowledge and looking at various epistemologies, does Santa still make the cut?

Abstract:

As the human population of our planet rises to hitherto unprecedented levels, we find ourselves wondering whether the half-century from 1990 to 2040 might be remembered not so much as the age when the oil ran out, as the age of construction. Never before have we built so many dwellings, roads, dams, and civic structures than will be constructed during the span of this half-century. A little reflection suggests that in our (allegedly) highly evolved society, with our sophisticated knowledge of the forces of nature and the strengths of materials, we would be stupid to commit the unforgivable sin of knowingly constructing buildings that will crush and maim our descendants. Yet in many parts of the world this is indeed what we are doing. Homo sapiens decided long ago to live in houses. Other animals do it, but rarely do they build such precarious structures as do humans. The nests of birds are woven to be resilient, mammals and reptiles live in caves selected for their permanence, burrows are dug by animals content with the knowledge that a little more burrowing is all that’s needed to keep the walls in place, or the driveway clear. Only humans spend at least eight hours of every turn of the planet within a dwelling assembled from a variety of materials that are often close to the point of structural failure, and often without considering the consequences of constructing permanent dwellings in regions subject to geologically extreme events. The shift from Homo the hunter-gatherer to Homo urbanensis means that many of the remaining 16 hours of each day are spent in another structure, more often than not also assembled with an eye on thrift —maximum volume for minimum cost. Even the journey to and from these different structures can expose humans to seismic risks—as is evident from the collapse of bridges and overpasses in recent earthquakes. The damage done by an earthquake is caused by shaking, either directly or indirectly (via landslides, etc.). Shaking involves accelerations: the rate at which speed changes or, in qualitative terms, what can be thought of as “jerkiness.”

Abstract:

In 1931, Virginia Woolf was commissioned to write a series of six articles for Good Housekeeping, a middlebrow women’s magazine, which have typically been read by critics as five essays and a short story. Woolf’s series takes her readers on a tour of the sites of commerce and power in London, from the Thames docks and shops of Oxford Street, to ‘Great Men’s Houses,’ abbeys, cathedrals, and the House of Commons, ending with a ‘Portrait’ of a fictitious Londoner. This chapter has three aims. First, it suggests that Woolf’s Good Housekeeping publications can be read not simply as five essays and a short story, but, considering Woolf’s ethics of the short story, as a series of short stories or, as the magazine editors introduced them, word pictures and scenes. Secondly, this chapter argues that Woolf’s Good Housekeeping series responds to, and resists the Stalinist politics of, Aldous Huxley’s series of four highbrow essays on England, published in Nash’s Pall Mall Magazine. Finally, this chapter analyses a critically neglected short story by Ambrose O’Neill, ‘The Astounding History of Albert Orange’ (February 1932), published in Good Housekeeping, which features both Woolf and Huxley as characters, and which critiques, satirises, and destabilises the boundaries of highbrow literary culture. Thus, the focus turns from highbrow writers’ short stories to a story about highbrow writing, all published in the supposedly middlebrow Good Housekeeping, demonstrating the rich complexity of the magazine, its varied politics, and its generically hybrid publications.

Abstract:

Background literature and market flow data show evidence of an increasingly global art market. In turn, the global art market, instead of being a single, defined entity appears to be made of various local and diverse art markets. These various markets are progressively converging and integrating thanks to logistic and communication circuits. Key actors and organizations in the art market (e.g. auction houses or leader-dealers) see managers and marketers increasingly encountering cultural diversity alongside with economic heterogeneity. This chapter takes into account the not-yet-conceptualized framework of the art market in cross-cultural context. In so doing the author specifically identifies divergences and convergences concerning consumer behavior and art goods in a global economy. The results support the notion that in the current art market cultural diversity influences consumer attitudes. Such evidence may have specific managerial implications for practitioners and may stimulate further empirical studies to enforce this theoretical claim.

Abstract:

Gender inequality lies at the core of Japan’s human capital weakness as well as of its social ailments of declining marriage and low fertility. Prime Minister Abe Shinzo declared his ambition, soon after taking office in late 2012, of achieving much greater female empowerment. Progress has been made, notably in increased childcare provision, but considerable barriers remain. The human capital embodied in Japanese women has improved greatly thanks to the rise in access to university education for female students in the 1990s and 2000s, but this has not yet been translated into leadership roles in part because most organizations use hierarchies ordered strictly by age but also because corporate culture (in the private and public sectors alike) is oriented towards long working hours, enforced socializing, and short-notice job postings, in continued disregard of families and of the now-dominant double-earner households. More women are however fighting back against overt discrimination, the Abe government has introduced a Work-Style Reform Bill to combat long working hours, and more companies are taking the need for diversity seriously. Role models have emerged in a wide range of fields and soon a critical mass of women in decision-making positions will be achieved.

Abstract:

There are times on the trail when you have to turn back. Nothing is more discouraging. Maybe you’ve done something stupid, like losing the map. Changing weather conditions may have made it dangerous or foolhardy to go any further. Maybe your gear is soaking wet or the black flies have become unbearable. Sometimes you simply don’t have it in you to go on. Whatever brings you to that point, you admit defeat and grudgingly head back toward the trailhead. Yet there are times when not reaching one’s goal on a pack trip may be even better than having done so. At least that’s what I’ve always told myself about my failure to climb Mt. Whitney. It was my second year at seminary in California. My roommate Eric and I wanted to cap off our previous trips into the Sierra Nevada by hiking the highest peak in the lower forty-eight. We had made mistakes on earlier hikes, as we would on this one. That’s always easy to do in the Sierras. One afternoon on an earlier trip, for instance, we’d been returning to our base camp on the High Sierra Trail when we got tired of the interminable switchbacks. We decided to take a “shortcut” down through the rocks. But within ten minutes we were in trouble, facing a level of rock-climbing for which we weren’t prepared. We soon were separated, each of us fearing the other had fallen as we heard rock tumbling in the distance, then nothing but silence. Hours later we stumbled onto each other on the trail in the dark far below, grateful to be alive—knowing how foolish we had been. That’s what wilderness does for you, says Gary Snyder. It lets you make all the mistakes you need in order to get where you’re really going. The trail we took up Mt. Whitney, peaking at 14,505 feet, was a grueling one. The average elevation gain is 550 feet a mile, though the altitude makes it seem twice that. But the beauty is incredible. Hidden lakes appear and disappear on the winding trail.

Full text

Abstract:

Because the adults and kids respected each other, I was excited about learning and felt appreciated in the OC. Teachers treat kids with respect, and parents learn to respect kids’ ideas by observing the kids and teachers in the classroom. Lots of people might wonder why co-opers need to learn, since it’s the kid who’s going to school. If the parent has never been in the classroom and the kid says, “We’re doing kid co-oping, and we’re making marshmallow houses,” a parent might say, “What does that have to do with school? Are you learning anything from making marshmallow houses?” The parent might not notice that their kid is learning about angles, architecture, how to make a structure that stands, and being creative. But when they see what their kid and other kids do around the classroom, they get more confident, and they respect the kid more and learn to respect the kids’ ways of learning. Adults learn to respect kids’ ideas even if they don’t agree with them. They can respect a kid’s idea and express their opinion and what most people think about it and why—rather than saying, “You’re wrong.” An outsider who comes into the classroom and sees kids discussing history might think, “There’s only one right answer, and that’s the teacher’s, so don’t debate about it because it wastes time.” It’s important for kids to be allowed to express their ideas and opinions, because that makes them really think about the topic and makes them more comfortable taking a different stance on something. They can learn about subjects by listening to other people’s opinions, too. In the OC, the teachers trust people to help each other. They know you can learn a lot from each other and from teaching others. The kids learn to understand and respect the adults who help them by leading activities in kid co-oping. Kid co-oping teaches them what it’s like to be in the co-oper’s place and how hard it is to organize a group and keep people interested. Then the kids treat the adults better because they have learned what the adults go through.

Abstract:

This paper is a summary of 35 years experience from maintenance, overhaul and repair of the ROLLS-ROYCE Marine PROTEUS Gas Turbine in the Swedish Navy. The 54 installed PROTEUS Gas Turbines in 18 ships have accumulated nearly 300 000 running hours. The reliability has steadily improved thanks to careful monitoring and intensive improvement programs. The initial, less than 500 hours average between engine removals has been extended to nearly 3000 hours as of today. Also the number of catastrophic engine failures has decreased. Although the Spare Parts prices and the Labor Costs per hour have increased over the years the maintenance cost per fired Gas Turbine hour has decreased. The paper describes the technical and economical aspects together with the cost reducing efforts. The information derives from the Swedish Navy Maintenance and Failure Reporting System, named “MARIS”, and from the VOLVO overhaul workshop annual technical and economical activity report.

Full text

Abstract:

Five individuals from a single kindred and 3 other unrelated patients with type IID vWD have been studied. Multimeric analysis patterns obtained using discontinuous gel electrophoresis were identical both in major and minor band positions and distribution. In 2 where lysed platelets were studied, platelet and plasma multimeric analysis patterns were identical. EDTA plasma when compared with citrate plasma had more intense bands but there was no increase in intermediate or high molecular weight multimers. When fresh, frozen and thawed plasma or plasma left at 4°C for 24 hours were studied using multimeric analysis with autoradiography using 2 monoclonals (ESVWF 2 and 10) against vWF epitopes, significantly more intense autoradiographs were obtained with non-fresh rather than fresh plasma. These results suggest that freezing and thawing or storing plasma initiate a conformational change with the exposure of more epitope sites in these variants.Despite bleeding times in excess of 20 minutes ristocetin and botrocetin induced platelet aggregation and ristocetin and botrocetin cofactor assays were normal on fresh plasma. Both cofactor activities fell by 25-30% when fresh plasma was frozen and thawed once, whereas vWF:Ag fell by 20%.These results suggest that in IID vWD vWF:Ag is unstable and easily undergoes conformational change with loss of ristocetin and botrocetin cofactor activities and exposure of increased numbers of some epitopes.

Abstract:

The present paper deals with the estimation of the short-term extreme motions of a spar floating wind turbine in parked rotor conditions, through a 1:30 at-sea experiment, carried out at the Natural Ocean Engineering Laboratory (NOEL) of Reggio Calabria (Italy). Thanks to some favorable local environmental conditions of the site, several wind-generated sea states with relatively low significant wave height (Hs < 0.50 m) have been collected during the experiment. These sea states are scale models of ocean storms, which are relevant hydrodynamic design conditions for the spar platform. The 30-minutes extreme values of the model structure motions have been estimated for all the six degrees of freedom, using the Weibull Tail Method (WTM), and the results obtained are presented in the paper. Such estimations are 1:30 scale models of the 3-hours extreme values of the spar motions in parked rotor conditions and may be directly used for design purposes.

Full text

Abstract:

Concentrating solar power is inherently intermittent and thus thermal energy storage is an essential component of a successful baseload solar power plant. Phase change materials (PCM) have the potential to decrease the cost of thermal energy storage systems for these plants since the latent heat contribution can be significant. The present work deals with certain aspects of using zinc as PCM for storing solar energy at high temperatures from 300°C to 500°C. The objective is the storage of hundreds of mega-watt-hours equivalent of solar energy in systems using zinc as encapsulated phase change materials (EPCM). Stainless steel and nickel have been considered as encapsulation materials for zinc. The present work describes several aspects of this technology that need consideration in designing the EPCM; such as thermal analysis, materials issues, proof of storage and retrieval of energy and cost analysis. EPCM of several sizes and shapes subjected to many cycles of energy storage/retrieval have been considered as part of the calorimetry tests here. Thanks to the large thermal conductivities of the metals involved, storing and retrieving energy into/out of the PCM is not an impediment. Potential interaction of PCM with encapsulation materials and their impact on storage capabilities are also discussed. Lastly the cost estimates ($/kWhth) of these large thermal storage systems based on procedures used by NREL are presented. Though zinc based EPCM storage systems can be expensive at around $54/kWhth, they are more economical than the current two-tank storage systems that use sensible heat only for thermal energy storage.

Abstract:

Aortic allografts have been widely used in treatments of congenital heart diseases with satisfactory clinical outcomes. They were usually cryopreserved and stored for surgical use. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of cold storage on mechanical properties of aorta, since the compliance mismatch was one important factor associated with the complication after graft surgery. The segments of porcine descending aorta were divided into two groups: the fresh samples which were tested within 24 hours after harvesting served as control group, and frozen samples which were stored in −20°C for 7 days and then thawed. The uniaxial tension tests along circumferential direction and indentation tests were conducted. The average incremental elastic moduli within each stretch range were obtained from the experimental data obtained during tension tests, and the elastic moduli were also calculated by fitting the force-indentation depth data to Hertz model when the tissue was stretched at 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6. In addition, the average incremental elastic moduli of both fresh and frozen aortic tissue along axial direction were also obtained by using uniaxial tension tests. The comparison showed that cold storage definitely increased the average incremental elastic modulus of the aortic tissue along circumferential direction; however, the difference is not significant for the elastic moduli along axial direction.

Abstract:

The Integrated Project EUROTRANS, funded by the European Commission in the VI European framework program, was aimed at providing the advanced design of a multi purpose research oriented Accelerator Driven System (ADS), called eXperimenTal-ADS (XT-ADS), and the preliminary design of an industrial scale ADS, called European Facility for Industrial Transmutation (EFIT). One contribution of CRS4 (Centro di Ricerca, Sviluppo e Studi Superiori in Sardegna) has been to provide support to the overall plant design by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The simulations were required by the designer either for basic checking or in case of doubts on the validity of some technical options. We present four series of simulations which lead to the detection of unsatisfactory plant behaviour, related design modification and eventually control of the variant behaviour correctness. The first three simulation series deal with the EFIT design while the forth one deals with the XT-ADS design. In the first case, the simulation put in evidence a large recirculation zone under the reactive core that had to be removed for oxygen control concern. The recirculation zone is suppressed by modifying the shape of the core support grid. In the second case, we put in evidence a recirculation zone at the entrance of the pumping system above the core. This recirculation zone can lower the pump efficiency. The entrance shape was modified to eliminate the recirculation zone. In the third case, we check the behaviour of the passive Decay Heat Removal (DHR) heat exchanger. We show that while the primary coolant flow is globally organized as expected, some flow mixing limits the efficiency of the system. The system efficiency is restored by increasing its passive pumping strength. This is performed simply extending the Heat Exchanger shroud a half-meter in the bottom direction. In the last case, we investigate the capability of an external DHR system to withstand a long complete plant shutdown. The simulation encompasses about 6 hours of physical time, enough to understand the critical trends and infers that the DHR system may be not sufficient for its purpose. This result has suggested some modification to the design (i.e. surface treatment to improve metal wall emissivity) as well as to the accident management (i.e. restart primary pumps to eliminate fluid stratification). All these design improvements have been obtained in a reasonable amount of time thanks to the continuous collaboration and exchange of information between the CFD engineer and the designer.
