Lydia H. Hart Diary
No full textDiary, 1823-1830, 1875 and loose papers 1813, 1831, and undated of Lydia H. Hart of Richmond, Virginia and later Walden, Orange County, New York. The Diary was started by Lydia H. Hart, the wife of Reverend William H. Hart, who was the rector of St. John’s Church in Richmond, VA and later St. Andrews Church in Walden, New York. Diary entries include day-to-day activities and meetings with local neighbors and church patron’s. These neighbors included Elizabeth Van Lew and her parents, which Lydia Hart writes about several times. Most dated entries also include discussion of specific bible verses or Rev. Hart’s sermons. Notable entries include a description of the funeral service for Rev. John Buchanan, former rector of St. John’s Church from 1795 to 1822. Diary entries are chronological and more frequent for 1823 and become less frequent in 1823. In 1828, Lydia Hart moved to New York and eventually to Walden, New York in May 1830.At the end of the diary entries is an entry form another author, possibly by Mary. W. Hart dated 1875. Lydia Hart died in 1831 and could not have made the entry.At the back of the diary and upside down to the diary entries are transcriptions of letters and poems of Lydia Hart’s to various newspapers and and personnel correspondence. Entries include a plea for support to the city of Richmond to take care of its ‘destitute children’, letters to the editor of local newspapers, and poems for the birth of a child or death of a patron.Loose papers include a letter dated Jan 8th 1813, a bequeath request from William H. Hart for the placement of a Tombstone for Lydia Hart, a table of contents for various letters or sermons, a letter from William Hart to a friend from Richmond, and 2 loose undated papers of unknown authorship. The letter from William Hart speaks of the events of Lydia’s death, and inquiries about events taking place in Richmond
Mapping Britain's underworld. BBC Radio 4, May 25th 2012
No full textFour million holes are dug every year in the UK. Five billion pounds are lost through the economic effects of disruption and traffic hold ups, while hitting a utility pipe or cable can prove fatal for those working on the road. Adam Hart-Davis reports on a major research project which is trying to solve the problems.He takes us underground from his ancient ice house at the bottom of his Devon garden to report on Mapping the Underworld, the £3.5m programme involving universities throughout Britain. The aim is to improve how we locate the increasingly confusing and complex array of pipes, cables and sewers beneath our streets, and assess their condition - as well as ultimately providing a better map of what is beneath our cities to improve planning both above and below ground.At the moment it's often difficult to know where such utilities are - an estimated one in four of all holes are dug in the wrong place. Maps may not be accurate because original records of where the pipes and cables are located often use reference points on the surface which have long since gone.Existing sensors may have problems finding what is underground because of soil or weather conditions, while modern materials such as plastic or fibre optics pose a challenge to existing technologies.Adam Hart-Davis tries out the prototype of a multi-sensor cart where four different sensors operate together to produce an all-in-one solution, so if one technology doesn't work well in certain conditions and with particular materials, another one will. It is not an easy undertaking for the research teams or, as it turns out, for Adam testing the multi-sensor cart

Releyendo a Hart
No full textThe author examines the central ideas in The Concept of Law by H. L. A. Hart to assess and discuss their originality and soundness. The hartian notions of social rule, internal and external point of view, obligation, primary and secondary rules and rule of recognition are under discussion as well as Hart’s theory on legal interpretation and his criticism against realism.El autor repasa las ideas centrales de The Concept of Law de H. Hart tratando de evaluar su originalidad y novedad y de discutir su corrección. De esta manera, se discuten las nociones hartianas de regla social, punto de vista interno y externo, obligación, reglas primarias y secundarias y regla de reconocimiento, así como la teoría de Hart de la interpretación jurídica y su crítica al realismo

The Deadly Balance: Predators and People in a Crowded World
No full textThe predators that can hunt, kill and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche. In this book, Adam Hart looks at our relationship with these animals from a conservation perspective. Whether it's lions in Africa, tigers in India or sharks in the world's oceans, we are fascinated by – and often terrified of – predators. Animals that can hunt, kill, and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche, and for good reason. Predation forms a big part of our evolutionary history, but in the modern world there are many people who live alongside animals that can, and sometimes do, make them prey. In The Deadly Balance, biologist Adam Hart explores the complex relationships we have with predators, and investigates what happens when humans become prey. From big cats to army ants, via snakes, bears, wolves, crocodiles, piranhas and more, Hart busts some myths and explores the science behind such encounters. Despite their fearsome and often wildly exaggerated reputations, these animals have far more to fear from us than we do from them. By probing the latest conservation science, Hart explores how we might both conserve the world's predators and live safely alongside them

The effects of ageing on microglial phenotypes and the central nervous system response to systemic inflammation
No full textMicroglial cells are resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that participate in the CNS response to systemic inflammation by producing inflammatory mediators, which subsequently contribute to the behavioural and metabolic adaptations to systemic infections collectively termed sickness behaviour. Ageing leads to changes in microglial phenotype and a maladaptive, exaggerated CNS inflammatory and behavioural response to systemic infection has been described in aged rodents, which could have a negative impact on CNS health. However, most studies examining the effects of ageing on microglia have focused on a single region of the brain (the hippocampus) and have used a single model of infection, the bacterial mimetic lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This raises two important questions – are microglia in different parts of the brain equally effected by ageing, and do different models of systemic infections have different effects on sickness behaviour and on microglia? To address these questions we used immunohistochemistry, quantitative PCR and behavioural assays to investigate the effects of region on age related changes in microglial phenotype along a rostral to caudal axis and the CNS inflammatory and behavioural response elicited by LPS was compared to that elicited during a live infection with Salmonella typhimurium. We detected significant differences in the effects of ageing on microglia of different regions of the CNS, with microglia of white matter areas and the cerebellum demonstrating significantly greater changes in expression of activation markers than those of rostral grey matter areas. Co-ordination and balance was impaired in aged mice at baseline and some sickness behaviours were exaggerated in aged mice in response to LPS injection, whereas Salmonella typhimurium infection induced long-lasting reductions in exploratory activity of equal size in young and aged mice and, in aged mice, co-ordination and balance deficits and prolonged weight loss. A low grade, prolonged inflammatory response was detected in the hippocampus which was accompanied by increased expression of microglial activation markers throughout the young and aged CNS, particularly in the spinal cord, where increased axonal stress and changes in the organisation of the paranodal junction were also observed. These changes in cytokine levels and microglial phenotype were mostly of similar magnitude in young and aged mice, contrasting to the effects of LPS. These results highlight regional differences in the sensitivity of microglia to systemic infection and ageing and show extensive differences between the effects of the bacterial mimetic LPS and a live bacterial infection on microglia and on sickness behaviour in young and aged mice. They also have important implications for the study of ageing microglia regarding the selection of the infection models and in deciding which CNS regions to examine
