Contributions to Dynamic Behaviour of Materials Professor John Edwin Field, FRS 1936–2020
No full textProfessor John Edwin Field passed away on October 21st, 2020 at the age of 84. Professor Field was widely regarded as a leader in high-strain rate physics and explosives. During his career in the Physics and Chemistry of Solids (PCS) Group of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, John made major contributions into our understanding of friction and erosion, brittle fracture, explosives, impact and high strain-rate effects in solids, impact in liquids, and shock physics. The contributions made by the PCS group are recognized globally and the impact of John’s work is a lasting addition to our knowledge of the dynamic effects in materials. John graduated 84 Ph.D. students and collaborated broadly in the field. Many who knew him attribute their success to the excellent grounding in research and teaching they received from John Field.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Novel Aerospace Material
Edwin Harold Shyrock, MD
No full textBlack and white portrait of Edwin Harold Shyrock, MD. Dr. Shyrock was a respected physician, medical educator, college administrator, author, counselor, public speaker and family man. Harold grew up in Loma Linda, where his father, Alfred Q. Shyrock, MD became the sixth physician at the newly established College of Medical Evangelists (now Loma Linda University).

He was asked to teach at the college in 1936 and did so for more than 40 years. He served as dean of the Loma Linda University School of Medicine from 1951-1954 and chaired the department of anatomy from 1957-1959. He authored many magazine articles and 13 books. He may be best remembered among Adventists for the two volumes, "On Becoming a Man" and "On Becoming a Woman." He died on March 03, 2004.20.5 x 25 c
Equilibrium mechanical properties of two noncollagenous cartilages in the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus
No full textIn contrast to all other vertebrate cartilages, the major extracellular matrix protein of lamprey cartilage is not collagen. Instead, the majority of cartilaginous elements in the lamprey (e.g., cranial and annular cartilages) contain a noncollagenous protein (lamprin) with sequence similarities to mammalian and avian elastins. The branchial and pericardial cartilages also possess noncollagenous, elastin-like extracellular matrix proteins, but these demonstrate different amino acid compositions from lamprin. Thus, lamprey possess a unique family of noncollagenous structural proteins, the significance of which is not completely understood. The purpose of this study was to quantify the equilibrium mechanical properties of adult lamprey annular and pericardial cartilages in order to relate them to age, morphology, and biochemistry. A custom-built uniaxial testing apparatus was used to quantify the equilibrium stress-relaxation behavior of pericardial cartilages tested in tension and annular cartilages tested in compression. Stress-relaxation data and cartilage specimen dimensions were used in the calculation of moduli (stiffnesses) and Poisson's ratios. In addition, light and electron microscopy were used to characterize cartilage morphology before and after testing.

Boys of England and Edwin J. Brett, 1866-99
No full textBoys of England was a Victorian boys' periodical. It was published weekly by Edwin J. Brett from 1866 to 1899, initially from the Fleet Street offices of the Newsagents'
Publishing Company, and later from Brett's own `Boys of England Office'. It was the first periodical of its kind, and achieved a large sale amongst eager youngsters.
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a general history of BOE and Brett, neither of which has yet been attempted. More specifically, the thesis is intended to address
misconceptions regarding Brett and his work. Historians of boys' periodical literature have tended to portray Brett's papers as largely supportive of middle class hegemony. They
argue that they failed to connect with the lives of their upper working and lower middle class readers. However, this thesis contends that in actual fact BOE engaged closely with
the lives of its readership, comprised mainly of boys from the `respectable' working classes. Therefore, BOE should rightly be considered an important, indigenous component
of working class society and culture in mid to late Victorian Britain.
To provide as comprehensive an analysis as possible, the thesis is divided into three sections: `Paper and Proprietor'; `Content'; `Response'. These sections are divided into further chapters, each exploring a salient facet of BOE and Brett. Some of these engage with, and challenge, the existing historiography of boys' periodical literature. Others introduce historiographies previously remote from the study of boys' papers, widening the
remit of this relatively self-contained field. Some examine entirely unstudied, or largely understudied, subject matter.
Ultimately, this thesis is intended to make a valuable contribution not only to the historiography of boys' papers specifically, and children's literature in general, but also to the wider historiographies of Victorian social and cultural history and the Victorian working class
Advance Treatment Directives and Autonomy for Incompetent Patients: An International Comparative Survey of Law and Practice, with Special Attention to the Netherlands
No full textThe subject of this book is the legal status and social practice of treatment, with special emphasis on the Netherlands. A treatment directive is a written document in which the author refuses treatment under specified conditions. Such a document is drafted when the author is still competent, to be implemented in the event he becomes incompetent.
Legal recognition of treatment directives is a practical answer to the philosophical question whether incompetent people can retain some autonomy in the medical sphere, despite their being currently unable to give informed consent. An international comparative survey of the legal situation in several Western countries shows that in jurisdictions where the legal status of informed consent is strong, there is a greater chance to find provisions for the exercise of prospective autonomy.
The Netherlands is among those countries where the instructions in a treatment directive are legally binding on doctors but, despite the strong legal status of these documents, no empirical evidence was available to test whether these documents work in practice. Based on telephone surveys of nursing home doctors, family doctors and notaries, this book seeks to fill this gap, answering the question: Do treatment directives work in the Netherlands?
Two main results emerge from the research: a) the frequency of treatment directives in the Netherlands is low; b) the treatment directives that do exist probably have little effect on medical decision-making.
These results seem mainly to reflect the passive approach of doctors, who do not promote the use of treatment directives among their patients and are not ready to accord binding force to these documents. This passive approach has not been corrected by concrete policy measures to complement the formal legislative recognition of treatment directives.
These results lead to a more general reflection. Merely enacting a new substantive right will often not suffice to make a social practice effective. The new right will require various forms of support if it is to be expected that people will make use of it. This is particularly true in the case of the establishment of a new facility (here, the right to draft a treatment directive), where the success of the legislation largely depends on the actual use that potentially interested people make of the facility

Medical response to the declaration of the First World War: The case of Edwin Seaborn
No full textAt the turn of the 20th century, Dr Edwin Seaborn was starting his surgical and academic career at Western University in Ontario. When war was declared in 1914, Seaborn prevailed upon the university's president to offer the Canadian government a fully staffed hospital for deployment overseas. Initially declined by the War Office in Ottawa, the university's offer was later accepted after mounting casualties stretched the capacity of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and Seaborn was granted command of the new No. 10 Canadian Stationary Hospital. From 1916 to 1919, Seaborn's medical, surgical, and administrative practices transformed the humble No. 10 Stationary Hospital into a General Hospital that was indispensable to the war effort and raised the standard for military medical practice. Upon the unit's return to London, Ontario, Seaborn's dedication was transferred to his extensive work as an author, historian, academic, and beloved physician. During the centennial of the First World War, this paper explores the impact of an academic medical unit by looking at the career of its Commanding Officer: a man who made an invaluable contribution to the Canadian war effort and set a precedent for exceptional medical care at home and at war
