Conclusion: Real World Learning— Researching and Co-constructing Working Definitions for Curriculum Development and Pedagogy
No full textMorley presents a research paper on a qualitative study of 15 groups of authors who were submitting chapters to an edited open-access collection, “Applied pedagogy for higher education. Real world learning and innovation across the curriculum”. Through the method of concept mapping, authors discuss their views and experience of “real world learning”. The concept of real world learning is an emerging area in higher education where students are focusing not only on their present learning but on how they can develop attributes and identities that equip them to progress following graduation. A thematic analysis of the author focus groups identifies three themes of fidelity, individuality and mutuality. A discussion of the themes applies the authors’ experience of real world curriculum planning and pedagogy in higher education
Aesthetic Science : Representing Nature in the Royal Society of London, 1650-1720
No full textThe scientists affiliated with the early Royal Society of London have long been regarded as forerunners of modern empiricism, rejecting the symbolic and moral goals of Renaissance natural history in favor of plainly representing the world as it really was. In Aesthetic Science, Alexander Wragge-Morley challenges this interpretation by arguing that key figures such as John Ray, Robert Boyle, Nehemiah Grew, Robert Hooke, and Thomas Willis saw the study of nature as an aesthetic project. To show how early modern naturalists conceived of the interplay between sensory experience and the production of knowledge, Aesthetic Science explores natural-historical and anatomical works of the Royal Society through the lens of the aesthetic. By underscoring the importance of subjective experience to the communication of knowledge about nature, Wragge-Morley offers a groundbreaking reconsideration of scientific representation in the early modern period and brings to light the hitherto overlooked role of aesthetic experience in the history of the empirical sciences

Salt decay of Morley limestone
No full textSalt weathering is one of the main causes of decay of natural stone, and by consequence a major problem to the conservation of cultural heritage. In the present case, the performance of Morley limestone from the Département Meuse, France, as a replacement stone under saltloaded conditions is evaluated. Morley limestone was used in the Netherlands as a replacement stone for sandy Eocene Belgian limestones (Gobertange, Lede).Architectur
Extensions of Morley\u27s theorem
No full textA review of the literature since 1899 when Morley offered his original hypothesis. Various authors have given proofs of the theorem, shown the existence of 27 such triangles, and established relationships to other mathematical concepts: isogonal conjugates, Lemoine point, Hessian points and axis, circles of Apollonius, Brianchon hexagons. The author explores the various intersections of the n-sectors of the angles of a general triangle, showing, incidentally, the uniqueness of the Morley equilateral triangle. Turning to the quadrilateral, the intersections of the tri-sectors of: the angles of a parallelogram, rectangle, trapezoid, and kite-shaped quadrilateral are examined, as well as those of the n-sectors. An important by-product of the author\u27s investigation of the p-sided polygon confirms the uniqueness of the equilateral triangle of Morley\u27s theorem. The author concludes with a discussion of the associated isogonal attributes and thoughts for further study
Loxotropa morleii Morley 1931
No full textLoxotropa morleii Morley, 1931: 15. Valid name Trichopria halterata (Kieffer, 1909). Summary of types Holotype ♀, BMNH number 9.784, by original designation. Primary type data 3 ix 97; Loxotropa / Morleyi/ MS. Chitty; det. A.J.C.; probably Paramesius / ♀ undescribed TAM; Type / CM. Type locality England, Suffolk, Sproughton Marshes. Remarks The name Loxotropa morleii was introduced as a nomen nudum by Morley (1929) and then made available in 1931. Morley credited the name to Chitty, and had a manuscript description from him placing this species in Trichopria; however, by placing it in Loxotropa Förster, 1856 and comparing it to other species of Loxotropa, it appears that Morley has significantly changed Chitty’s manuscript and was largely responsible for the text, and so is credited here as the author. The specimen is mounted on a card and is very dirty.Published as part of Notton, David G., 2014, A catalogue of the types of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera, Diapriidae) at the Natural History Museum, London, pp. 1-123 in European Journal of Taxonomy 75 on pages 83-84, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2014.75, http://zenodo.org/record/386277
Marine assemblages respond rapidly to winter climate variability
No full textEven species within the same assemblage have varied responses to climate change, and there is a poor understanding for why some taxa are more sensitive to climate than others. In addition, multiple mechanisms can drive species’ responses, and responses may be specific to certain life stages or times of year. To test how marine species respond to climate variability, we analyzed 73 diverse taxa off the southeast US coast in 26 years of scientific trawl survey data and determined how changes in distribution and biomass relate to temperature. We found that winter temperatures were particularly useful for explaining interannual variation in species’ distribution and biomass, although the direction and magnitude of the response varied among species from strongly negative, to little response, to strongly positive. Across species, the response to winter temperature varied greatly, with much of this variation being explained by thermal preference. A separate analysis of annual commercial fishery landings revealed that winter temperatures may also impact several important fisheries in the southeast United States. Based on the life stages of the species surveyed, winter temperature appears to act through overwinter mortality of juveniles or as a cue for migration timing. We predict that this assemblage will be responsive to projected increases in temperature and that winter temperature may be broadly important for species relationships with climate on a global scale.Peer reviewe
The Anadyomene Movement: metamorphics of figure-ground
No full text‘Figure-ground’ is about the production of meaning based on the perception of contrasts or binary oppositions and segregations. Viewers of my paintings, and of the kind of paintings that interest me, have the impression that the ‘figure’ subsides or slips or fades into ‘ground’, or that the ‘ground’ is more powerful or dominant than the ‘figure’, or that the ‘figure’ is insecurely attached, suggesting it is incapable, unwilling, too acquiescent or complicit to fully differentiate itself from the ‘ground’. I address flux, mutation, indistinctness and complementarity within the visual field of painting. I develop and extend the heuristic context for the interpretation of my studio practice and for work of a similar kind, and then feedback this new context into my practice in order to generate new works, also in the process shedding a new light on my interpretative models. Beyond this, I also make a more general argument for the re alignment of the relationship between art theory and practice - one that can better incorporate a sense of in between-ness, indistinctness or liminality. My approach is comparative: I look at East Asian art and ideas and, in particular, deploy the writings of the French Sinologist and philosopher François Jullien, in whose work there is the attempt to expand Western epistemology, ontology, semantics and aesthetics via a discussion of Chinese thought and aesthetics. Jullien proposes a paradigm that draws the ‘in-out’ respiratory rhythm or pulse within the perceptual field towards the centre of a theory of representation, a theory that seeks to account for consciousness from the ‘inside’ rather than the ‘outside’. The consequence of this relocation of agency is an interpretative framework that is firmly grounded in a nondualistic and holistic approach, foregrounding affect and empathetic relationships between artist and work, viewer and work, and self and the world. Traditional East Asian thought begins with similar premises to poststructuralism in the West: the ‘self’ is an illusion and the possibility of knowledge of reality independent of thought is dismissed as untenable because there is no objective reality accessible to us. Everything depends on the bias of the mind, rather than on anything we can identify as an innate attribute of reality itself, thus there is no escape from our lived experience, and we are profoundly limited by the interpretive knowledge of our mind; we are trapped within the ‘prison house of language’. But within the different recursive orientations that characterize ‘East’ and ‘West’ the interpretation and consequences of these insights are understood in quite different ways. I explore why this should be the case and what some of the consequences are, both theoretically through the written text and performatively through my studio work
