Whittier House donor letter and list from Frederick P. Craig
No full textWhittier House scrapbooks document Whittier House programs, events, and anniversary celebrations through newspaper clippings, lecture fliers, newsletters, event programs, and ticket stubs. Newspaper clippings are primarily from the Jersey Journal. There is also Whittier House fundraising materials, including pamphlets, appeal letters, brochures, and postcards. The Whittier House Social Settlement, the first settlement house in New Jersey, was established in Jersey City, N.J. (Hudson County) in 1894. Founded by Cornelia Foster Bradford, who would remain with the organization as headworker until 1926, Whittier House was based on the settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in England. Whittier House provided various recreational and educational programs, along with much needed social services, for the immigrant populations of Jersey City. Many of these successful services were used as models for large-scale social reform movements through the state. In 1935, the Whittier House was taken over by the Boys' Club of Jersey City
The combination of synthesis and ultra-high-resolution NMR spectroscopy reveals the correct structure of caylobolide A
No full textolyketide-derived natural products bearing repeat 1,5-polyols are commonly encountered but their structures are notoriously difficult to determine using spectroscopic techniques. The presence of distal 1,5-diol moieties frequently leads to spectral overlap and chemical shift degeneracy, giving rise to ambiguity in their assignment. Caylobolide A is a representative member of this class of natural products, bearing a 36-membered lactone, with six 1,5-diol units and two 1,3-diol units. Its partial structure had been proposed, but only 4 of the 12 stereogenic centres had been assigned. Here we report a blueprint for the structure determination of this class of natural products, comprising the use of ultra-high-resolution NMR spectroscopy, Mosher’s ester analysis and an efficient mixed isomer synthesis to unveil the correct structure of caylobolide A. With this approach, the partial stereochemistry proposed and the position of the triol unit within the carbon chain has been reassigned, culminating in the total synthesis of caylobolide A in 17 steps

Talking about a Christine Borland sculpture: effective empathy in contemporary anatomy art (and an emerging counterpart in medical training?)
No full textThis Introduction and interview discusses the poetical and empathic insights that are a key to the effectiveness of contemporary artist Christine Borland's practice and its relevance to the medical humanities, visual art research and medical students’ training. It takes place in a context of intensive interest in reciprocity and conversation as well as expert exchange between the fields of Medicine and Contemporary Arts. The interview develops an understanding of medical research and the application of its historical resources and contemporary practice-based research in contemporary art gallery exhibitions. Artists tend not to follow prescriptive programmes towards new historical knowledge, however, a desire to form productive relationships between history and contemporary art practice does reveal practical advantages. Borland's research also includes investigations in anatomy, medical practices and conservatio
Five-coordinate Pd(II) orthometallated triarylphosphite complexes
No full textThe reaction of the orthopalladated triarylphosphite complexes[{Pd(mu-Cl){kappa(2)-P,C-P(OC6H2-2,4- R-2)-(OC6H(3)-2,4-R-2)}(2)] (R = H, Bu-t) with bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine leads to a five-coordinate palladium(II) (R = H) and a mixture containing four- and five-coordinate species (R = Bu-t). The crystal structure of the five-coordinate species [Pd{kappa(2)-P,C-(P(OC6H4)(OC6H5)(2)}{bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl) phenylphosphine}][SbF6] is presented. This complex reacts with hydrogen peroxide or [AuCl(tht)] to give four- coordinate complexes in which the displaced phosphine residue is either oxidised or coordinated to gold chloride; this demonstrates that the five-coordinate complexes are labile in solution. By contrast, the reactions of the dimeric precursors with 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane give four- coordinate complexes in the solid state, although evidence is presented that the smaller phosphite-containing system is five-coordinate at room temperature or higher in solution

Interface reduction for Hurty/Craig-Bampton substructured models: Review and improvements
No full textThe Hurty/Craig-Bampton method in structural dynamics represents the interior dynamics of each subcomponent in a substructured system with a truncated set of normal modes and retains all of the physical degrees of freedom at the substructure interfaces. This makes the assembly of substructures into a reduced-order system model relatively simple, but means that the reduced-order assembly will have as many interface degrees of freedom as the full model. When the full-model mesh is highly refined, and/or when the system is divided into many subcomponents, this can lead to an unacceptably large system of equations of motion. To overcome this, interface reduction methods aim to reduce the size of the Hurty/Craig-Bampton model by reducing the number of interface degrees of freedom. This research presents a survey of interface reduction methods for Hurty/Craig-Bampton models, and proposes improvements and generalizations to some of the methods. Some of these interface reductions operate on the assembled system-level matrices while others perform reduction locally by considering the uncoupled substructures. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are highlighted and assessed through comparisons of results obtained from a variety of representative linear FE models.Accepted Author ManuscriptShip Hydromechanics and StructuresDynamics of Micro and Nano System

Elliott.</p> <p> <i>Comments</i></p> <p> Superficially similar to <i>S. cataractarum</i> larvae, <i>S. adelaideae</i> differs noticeably in its enhanced head pattern and is perhaps the most colourful of all <i>Inseliellum</i> larvae, matched perhaps only by the head pattern of larval <i>S. arlecchinum</i> (Craig and Joy 2000). The number and arrangement of hypostomal teeth is similar to that seen in the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup (Craig and Joy 2000) and is reminiscent of that seen in the <i>oviceps</i> group. The virtually absent postgenal cleft is also shared with the <i>hirticranium</i> group, as is the development of the anal sclerite. The apical teeth of the mandible are also similar to those of <i>S. hispidum</i>. Absence of tubercles on the abdominal cuticle is shared with larvae of <i>S. cataractarum</i> and the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup, except that <i>S. adelaideae</i> possesses tuberculate cuticle just anterior of the anal sclerite. Although sharing numbers of synapomorphic traits with the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup, <i>S. adelaideae</i> does, however, not show the diagnostic elongated head setae possessed by larvae of that taxonomic segregate. Still, with its complement of character states, <i>S. adelaideae</i> will no doubt, after more detailed phylogenetic analysis, be shown to be related to <i>S. cataractarum</i> and probably basal to the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup.</p> <p> The type locality of <i>S. adelaideae</i> is the highest stream on the road that continues past and above Lac Vaihiria and through a tunnel to emerge in the Papenoo Valley. Fed by a small cascade the stream flows though dense vegetation before emerging (Fig. 27) into sunlight, then crosses the road to plunge some 200 m down into the Lac Vaihiria Valley. With air temperature at 21° C, water temperature was 18° C, pH 8.4, and conductivity 50 µS. Water velocity was 76–98 cm /s and depth ca. 30 cm.</p> <p> This small stream is unusual in the complement of species collected. Cascade­dwelling species (<i>S. cataractarum</i>, <i>S. dussertorum, S. fossatiae</i>, <i>S. oviceps</i>) probably originate from the cascade immediately upstream. Larvae of <i>S. lotii</i> and <i>S. malardei</i>, typical of smaller streams at lower altitude, were markedly larger than normal. <i>Simulium cheesmanae</i> adults were captured while trying to bite the author.</p>Published as part of <i>Craig, Douglas A., 2004, Three new species of Inseliellum (Diptera: Simuliidae) from Polynesia, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 450</i> on pages 3-6, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/157955">10.5281/zenodo.157955</a>
Craig, Cujas, and the Definition of Feudum: Is a Feu a Usufruct?
No full textThis chapter is devoted to the disagreement of Thomas Craig of Riccarton with Jacques Cujas’ Romanist view that a feu (feudum or fief) was the grant of a usufruct of property belonging in dominium to the grantor. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first section briefly discusses Craig and Jus feudale, not only because author and work deserve wider recognition, but also because an understanding of the nature of Jus feudale is important in explaining the disagreement with Cujas. The second section explores the differences between Cujas and Craig. The concluding section attempts to explain the differences between Craig’s and Cujas’ definitions, and places them in a wider context.</p
Campbell Craig, Agitating Images. Photography Against History in Indigenous Siberia
No full textCraig Campbell’s book is an erudite contribution to the debate on “troubled (and troubling) relationship between photography and historiography” (pp. xiii-xiv). Based on the archival material of the Tungus Cultural Base (p. xix), now Tura, Evenkiia, Russia, the author demonstrates that the historiography of early Sovietisation is fragmentary, loose and contingent and that multifaceted readings of history, or rather histories, are necessary. The book is divided into two, quite uneven, parts: i..
