Holly Dempster-Edwards, Thesis Dataset, May 2025: Emotions, Gender, Racial-Religious Identity and Crusading in Prose Chronicles and Epics at the Court of Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy (r. 1419-67)
No full textThese spreadsheets are to be used in conjunction with the PhD thesis submitted by Holly Dempster-Edwards in May 2025, entitled 'Emotions, Gender, Racial-Religious Identity and Crusading in Prose Chronicles and Epics at the Court of Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy (r. 1419-67)'. The spreadsheets contain three tables, which detail the emotions and emotion markers found in the three texts which make up the corpus studied in the thesis: La Belle Hélène de Constantinople by Jean Wauquelin (1448), Les Croniques et Conquestes de Charlemaine by David Aubert (1458), and Mabrien (attrib. Aubert, ante 1462). These emotion terms were counted manually.
Each entry contains the following information: emotion term in French, 'tag' in English (e.g. 'love', 'anger - absence', part of speech, a rough English translation, page reference, longer quotation surrounding the emotion term, the character(s) feeling the emotion, gender, whether this is singular or plural, the racial-religious identity of the character(s), and whether the term occurs in direct or indirect discourse. The entries are sorted alphabetically based on the French emotion term, with reflexive pronouns removed for ease of alphabetisation. This can be manipulated, for example by sorting the page references column to display emotions in order of occurrence in each text.
The filter function allows for the cross-referencing of multiple identity categories. For example, the researcher could search all the male plural groups experiencing emotions, or all the emotions of female non-Christians, or all of the instances of love experienced by Christians and mixed groups. It is likewise possibly to search for all the emotions experienced by a particular character. For example, one could set the character filter to 'Klm' (Charlemagne), to find all instances of emotion experienced by him in CCC. It would then be possible to filter further, for example searching for all the instances of anger experienced by Charlemagne. It is also possible to include instances where Charlemagne is part of a plural group experiencing emotions.
These are just examples and there is great deal of flexibility available to sort this data, and these spreadsheets have heavily informed the thesis and the overall understanding of the distribution of emotions in the corpus. The pie charts in the thesis appendix have been produced using this data, though a margin of +/- 1% should be allowed to take into account the possibility of human error
Catalytic oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-Diformylfuran using MOF-808(Cu) under near ambient conditions
No full textBiomass conversion involves transforming sustainable feedstocks into valuable intermediates for the chemical industry. A key biomass-derived platform molecule, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), can be converted into various intermediates, including 2,5-Diformylfuran (DFF), which has several industrial applications due to its versatile structure. Herein, Cu loaded MOF-808, with three different loadings, were synthesised and tested as catalysts for the liquid phase selective oxidation of HMF to DFF with 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) were performed to assess the speciation of Cu, with the development of a structural model of MOF-808(Cu2). The structural analysis reveals that single square planar Cu(II) sites are located near the Zr6 cluster and are bonded by coordinating to oxygen atoms of terminal MeOH and H2O ligands. Among the synthesised catalysts, MOF-808(Cu2) exhibited the highest catalytic activity, achieving a high HMF conversion (94.7%) and DFF yield (76.6%) at 30 °C after 12 h. The nature of the catalytic reaction is heterogeneous as the yield of DFF decreases after the removal of the solid catalyst. The demonstration of catalytic activity with high selectivity under near ambient conditions advances the application of porous metal-organic framework-based catalysts for selective liquid phase oxidations
Evaluating the combined effect of a choline kinase inhibitor and temozolomide therapy in a mouse model of glioblastoma using 1 H MR spectroscopy and IVIM-DWI
No full textThis study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of combining a choline kinase alpha (ChoKα) inhibitor, MN58b, and Temozolomide (TMZ) in a syngeneic GL261 glioblastoma (GBM) mouse model. It used MR spectroscopy (MRS) and intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) to assess metabolic and microstructural changes within the tumour
Optimisation of dynamic nuclear polarisation using "off-the-shelf" Gd(III)-based polarising agents
No full textComplexes of paramagnetic metal ions, in particular Gd3+, have been demonstrated as efficient polarising agents for magic-angle spinning (MAS) dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP). We recently demonstrated that commercially available and inexpensive Gd(NO3)3 is suitable for use as an “off-the-shelf” MAS DNP polarising agent, providing promising sensitivity enhancements to 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR signals. Here we expand upon this approach by investigating the impact of the Gd(NO3)3 concentration and by exploring a larger range of readily available Gd3+ sources. We found that a Gd(NO3)3 concentration of 20 mM in the case of 1H and 13C, and 40 mM in the case of 15N, offers optimum signal enhancements and is rationalised as a trade-off between DNP enhancements, polarisation build-up times, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin–spin relaxation times. We determined that a range of different gadolinium compounds (GdCl3, Gd2(SO4)3, GdBr3, and Gd(OAc)3) are also suitable for use as polarising agents and yield 1H, 13C, and 15N signal enhancements of variable values. Gd(OAc)3 yields lower signal enhancements, which is proposed to be the result of greater local asymmetry at the Gd3+ centre leading to EPR line broadening, and the methyl group in the acetate ion acting as a relaxation sink and limiting the nuclear polarisation available
