Novel Dialogue 3.5: The Romance of Recovery: Ben Bateman talks to Shola von Reinhold (AV)
No full textShola von Reinhold is the author of LOTE, a novel about getting lost in the archives and finding what the archives have lost. LOTE won the 2021 James Tait Black prize so who better to join Shola on Novel Dialogue than Ben Bateman of Edinburgh University, lead judge of the prize committee? This conversation takes listeners back to all yesterday's parties as Shola, Ben, and Aarthi time travel to the Harlem Renaissance and the interwar modernist era. Shola offers up Richard Bruce Nugent as their current figure of fascination (or "transfixion" to use a key image from LOTE), and wonders what it would have been like to move through Harlem and London by Nugent's side. Recovering the stories of black writers and artists is essential to Shola's literary project. It is also inseparable from restoring queerness to the once hyper-masculine and "muscular" paradigm of modernism. In a stirring discussion of the aesthetic forms and moods of historical recovery, Ben and Shola sink into the "purpleness" of the fin-de-siècle and explore the critical power of black sensuousness. Talk of decadence, ornamentality, and frivolity shapes the latter half of this episode, and Doris Payne, the West Virginian jewel thief, emerges as an exquisitely improbable modernist heroine

Novel schemes for the optical manipulation of atoms and molecules
No full textThe range of atoms which can be cooled by lasers is limited to those which have a closed two level structure. Several schemes have been proposed which aim to extend this range by using coherent control of the particle momenta, but none have yet been demonstrated. We hope to implement these and other coherent manipulation schemes, and we begin with a system which is well understood and over which we can exert precise control. This thesis covers the design and construction of an experiment to demonstrate coherent manipulation of cold rubidium atoms collected in a magneto-optical trap. The lower hyperfine levels of these cold atoms very closely mimic the ideal two-level atom, and we use carefully crafted laser pulses to prepare, manipulate, and read their quantum state. The hyperfine levels are coupled using two fields whose frequency difference is equal to the hyperfine splitting. The way in which these Raman coupled levels can be used to emulate a two-level atom is explored, and the experimental apparatus used to create and control the driving fields is described in detail. The amplitude, frequency and phase of these fields is programmable, and complex manipulation schemes can be implemented merely by programming a computer. We have observed Raman transitions in the cold rubidium atoms, and the experimental methods used to detect these features amidst large experimental noise are discussed. Although we have not yet seen Rabi oscillations, we are confident that we can now have sufficient control to begin to implement simple interferometric sequences. However, there remain significant challenges if we are to coherently manipulate the momentum, and the prospects for such manipulation are discussed

Virtual patients design and its effect on clinical reasoning and student experience : a protocol for a randomised factorial multi-centre study
No full textBackground
Virtual Patients (VPs) are web-based representations of realistic clinical cases. They are proposed as being an optimal method for teaching clinical reasoning skills. International standards exist which define precisely what constitutes a VP. There are multiple design possibilities for VPs, however there is little formal evidence to support individual design features. The purpose of this trial is to explore the effect of two different potentially important design features on clinical reasoning skills and the student experience. These are the branching case pathways (present or absent) and structured clinical reasoning feedback (present or absent).
Methods/Design
This is a multi-centre randomised 2x2 factorial design study evaluating two independent variables of VP design, branching (present or absent), and structured clinical reasoning feedback (present or absent).The study will be carried out in medical student volunteers in one year group from three university medical schools in the United Kingdom, Warwick, Keele and Birmingham. There are four core musculoskeletal topics. Each case can be designed in four different ways, equating to 16 VPs required for the research. Students will be randomised to four groups, completing the four VP topics in the same order, but with each group exposed to a different VP design sequentially. All students will be exposed to the four designs. Primary outcomes are performance for each case design in a standardized fifteen item clinical reasoning assessment, integrated into each VP, which is identical for each topic. Additionally a 15-item self-reported evaluation is completed for each VP, based on a widely used EViP tool. Student patterns of use of the VPs will be recorded.
In one centre, formative clinical and examination performance will be recorded, along with a self reported pre and post-intervention reasoning score, the DTI. Our power calculations indicate a sample size of 112 is required for both primary outcomes

‘Patrick, the First Churchman’ in the Protestant Vision of Ernest Bateman of Booterstown (1886–1979)
No full textThis chapter considers the case of the Reverend Ernest Bateman (1886–1979), Church of Ireland rector of Booterstown, County Dublin. Drawing on his sermons and other sources, the author examines how Bateman perceived and represented Patrick and then explores the implications of his Patrician model for his Protestant sense of Irish identity. At the time the episcopalian minority was still trying to come to terms with demotion from their long-held elite status, to what they regarded as second-class citizenship, while the Catholic church was relentlessly aggressive and intolerant in its attitude to the minority. An Irish patriot who became friendly with de Valera, Bateman continued nevertheless to maintain the Church of Ireland position, first set out by Archbishop Ussher in the seventeenth century, that the church founded by St Patrick was in all key respects more akin to the Church of Ireland than to the Catholic church. In that sense, Patrick represented the ‘first churchman’

Extending the ESR and OSL dating comparison on coastal dune deposits from the Wilderness-Knysna area (South Africa)
No full textOur work follows up on the initial methodological ESR dating study by Ben Arous et al. (2022) on several quartz samples from the Plio-Pleistocene to Holocene aeolian coastal dune deposits of the Wilderness-Knysna area (South Africa) that were previously dated by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). Here, we extend this first ESR-OSL comparison with five additional optically-bleached quartz samples. We used the Multiple Aliquot Additive Dose (MAAD) method to specifically (i) evaluate the influence of the irradiation dose steps on the determination of low De values (<100 Gy) and (ii) obtain finite ESR ages for older samples that sometimes show saturated OSL signals. Following the Multiple Centre ESR dating approach, the Aluminium (Al) and Titanium (Ti) signals (Ti–H and Ti–Li–H, the latter resulting from a mixture of Ti centres) were systematically measured in all samples, and resulting De values and age estimates were compared with the corresponding OSL data. Our results show that for young samples (<50 ka) showing De values of a few tens of Grays (Gy), the use of smaller irradiation steps spaced by < 100 Gy has a noticeable impact on the MAAD dose evaluation from the Ti centres, usually leading to De results closer to the expected values (for 2/3 samples). However, this also makes the ESR measurements somewhat more challenging, with higher experimental uncertainties, lower measurement repeatability and lower goodness-of-fit resulting from the relatively weak Ti ESR intensities, ultimately impacting the robustness of the ESR data collected. In this sense, our study illustrates the limitations of the ESR method to detect very low dose irradiation values < 30 Gy with our experimental conditions (i.e., using MAAD procedure, a standard resonator and a measurement temperature of ∼90 K). On the contrary, it also highlights the greater potential of the Ti–H signal to date Late Pleistocene samples, confirming previous studies. Moreover, our results suggest that the transport and bleaching conditions of these aeolianite deposits may not be ideal for the reset of the radiation-induced Al and Ti ESR signals, which is consistent with the very few existing studies specifically focused on this type of samples, but contrasts with other previous dating applications centered on fluvial environments. Finally, we also provide additional chronological constraints to the Landward barrier complex and Coversands deposits, two of the oldest Plio-Quaternary formations in the Wilderness-Knysna area
