Engineering excellence at Rolls-Royce; a taste of English culture
No full textRolls-Royce is one of the most well-known brands in the world and synonymous with the highest engineering quality. Amongst Aerospace Engineers, Rolls-Royce is directly associated with the Trent turbofan aircraft engines. The engines power the world’s newest passenger aircraft, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the large Airbus A380. A Rolls-Royce powered aircraft takes o! or lands every 2.5 seconds.Aerospace Engineerin
Beloved Community: Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman, and Josiah Royce
No full textMartin Luther Kings primary emphasis was upon beloved community, a phrase he borrowed from Royce, but an idea that he shared with St. Augustine. Theories of the state tend to focus upon division, in which one stratum dominates another or others. Kings context is the US in the segregated Southa region whose internal divisions sharply instantiate the idea of the state as an unequal hierarchy of dominance. Kings appeal was less to end black subjugation than to end subjugation as such. Hence King was called by some a dreamer, given his background commitment to equality and community, ideals taking marginal precedence over his foreground commitment to liberty and autonomy. This article explores the notion of beloved community broadly and then specifically in Martin Luther King along with related notions in Howard Thurman (1900-1981) and in Josiah Royce (1855-1916).

AAC Royce field pea
No full textAAC Royce is a semi-leafless, green cotyledon field pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivar developed at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lacombe Research Centre, Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. It has maturity of 105 days, thousand seed weight of 254 g, and a medium lodging resistance. AAC Royce is resistant to powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe pisi Syd.), and moderately susceptible to mycosphaerella blight (caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes) and fusarium wilt (caused by Fusarium oxysporum). AAC Royce is adapted to all field growing regions in western Canada.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

Working memory training increases general learning abilities in CD-1 outbred mice:
No full textGeneral intelligence is a cognitive trait that is purported to influence most domain-specific learning abilities in humans. Like humans, CD-1 outbred mice express individual differences in their "general" cognitive abilities, such that performance across diverse batteries of learning tasks tend to be positively correlated, and this general learning factor accounts for 32-48% of the variance of individual animals performance in cognitive test batteries. It has been demonstrated that in both humans and mice, the efficacy of working memory capacity correlates highly with measures of general cognitive ability. In three experiments, here we demonstrate that in genetically heterogeneous mice, repetitive working memory training promotes an increase in selective attention and has a commensurately positive effect on the animals' aggregate performance on a battery of five learning tasks. The enhancement of general cognitive performance by working memory exercise was attenuated if the selective attention demands of that exercise were reduced. Finally, because much of the human research conducted on working memory training is done in pre-pubescent children, we trained a group of mice beginning in pre-pubescence and found no difference between that group and one trained at our typical young-adult age. In total, these results provide initial evidence that the efficacy of working memory capacity and selective attention are causally related to an animal’s general cognitive performance, and suggest behavioral strategies to promote those abilities.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 63-65)by Kenneth Royce Ligh

The Mineral Susceptibility Database
No full textThe Mineral Susceptibility Database (MSD) consolidates current relevant research from various fields (including museums, earth science, chemistry, and material science) into one freely accessible location. Its aim is to be a comprehensive reference for museum professionals—and a starting point for further research—when assessing the conditions required by their mineral collections and objects.
The data were collected from January 2019 to May 2021 by reviewing various journal articles and publications for relevant data, which was then synthesised and inserted into the correct fields of the Database. The Database was created and designed in Microsoft Excel. This was exported into a PDF to ensure reliability (by avoiding any 3rd party tampering) and format preservation, and to allow for broader access (as most web browser are capable of reading PDFs).
While the data presented in the MSD is replicated in good faith from trusted sources, it is recommended for one to return to the original source document and confirm parameters with the corresponding author
Organizing Legislative Parties: How Elections and Policy Positions Shape Intraparty Politics
No full textIn this dissertation project, I examine how elections produce the diverse preferences within political parties and how these differences are managed by party organizations in legislatures. Existing research on legislative parties suggests that electoral incentives shape legislative behavior and individual politicians delegate their power to parties in order to reconcile the pursuit of individual interests with collective needs. However, especially outside the US Congress, little is known about 1) sources of ideological heterogeneity within parties and 2) the sanction and reward mechanisms used for parties to overcome heterogeneity and achieve collective goals. In order to address these questions, this study investigates how patterns of candidate competition at the electoral district level affect the ideological cohesion of legislative parties and how party leadership allocates posts and resources to legislators. By focusing on contemporary party politics in Japan and the US, I clarify the logic of legislative parties under different circumstances, especially the difference between parliamentary lower houses and other chambers. These two countries have important common features: a two-party system operating entirely or mostly under plurality electoral systems. While an SMD-based electoral system in the lower chamber promotes a two-party system and usually single-party majorities, these parties face the challenge of how they maintain party discipline. These institutional characteristics enable us to engage in within-country comparisons with key features varying. In terms of methodology, I make use of scaling methods on survey data analysis in order to clarify how electoral competition shapes the pattern of intra-party politics and party leadership strategy on post and resource allocation within parties. This study also illuminates the possibilities for survey data analysis approach and cross-national analysis on the causes and the consequences of party ideological cohesion
