The Free Church army chaplain 1830-1930.
No full textThe study traces the efforts of English Nonconformists to provide
chaplains for their adherents in the British Army. Unrecognised
by the War Office, and opposed by the Church of England, the
Wesleyan Methodists persisted in providing an unpaid civilian
ministry until, by stages, they secured partial recognition in
1862 and 1881. The respect earned by volunteer Wesleyan civilian
chaplains, who accompanied the troops on most colonial and
imperial expeditions in the last quarter of the century,
culminating in the Boer War, prompted the War Office in 1903 to
offer them a number of commissioned chaplaincies. The Wesleyans
declined the offer. Although they had earlier, and after
anguished debate, accepted State payment of chaplains, they were
not prepared to accept military control of them.
In the Great War, Wesleyan chaplains were nevertheless obliged to
accept temporary commissions. Congregationalists, Baptists,
Primitive and United Methodists, through a United Board, provided
another stream of chaplains. With the political help of Lloyd
George, both sets of Nonconformists secured equitable treatment
at the hands of the Church of England and, through an
Interdenominational Committee, gained positions of considerable
influence over chaplaincy policy. In the field, remarkably for
the age, they joined with Presbyterians and Roman Catholics in a
single chain of command. By 1918, over 500 Wesleyan and United
Board commissioned chaplains were engaged. After the war, as the price of retaining their newly won standing
and influence, both the Wesleyans and the United Board
denominations accepted permanent commissions for their chaplains
and their absorption within a unified Chaplains Department.
Acceptability was secured through willingness to compromise on
voluntaryism and conformity to the State
The elastic spiral phase pipe
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this recordWe design a device for the passive mode conversion of guided, axisymmetric, ultrasonic waves in hollow elastic pipes into arbitrary non-axisymmetric flexural waves that have a constant angular profile along the pipe axis. To achieve this we create an elastic analogue to optical spiral phase plates—the elastic spiral phase pipe. Three possible configurations of the elastic spiral phase pipe are presented which allow the efficient generation of non-axisymmetric flexural waves from an axisymmetric, longitudinal forcing. The theory leverages the dispersive nature of the guided elastic waves that are supported in pipes through a defined relative refractive index. As such we include a spectral collocation method used to aid the design of the elastic spiral phase pipe that is corroborated with numerical simulations and then experimentally verified.Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)European Union Horizon 2020Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 185
Evasion of tumours from the control of the immune system: consequences of brief encounters
No full textIn this work a mathematical model describing the growth of a solid tumour in the presence of an immune system response is presented. Specifically, attention is focused on the interactions between cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and tumour cells in a small, avascular multicellular tumour. At this stage of the disease the CTLs and the tumour cells are considered to be in a state of dynamic equilibrium or cancer dormancy. The precise biochemical and cellular mechanisms by which CTLs can control a cancer and keep it in a dormant state are still not completely understood from a biological and immunological point of view. The mathematical model focuses on the spatio-temporal dynamics of tumour cells, immune cells, chemokines and ``chemo-repellors'' in an immunogenic tumour. The CTLs and tumour cells are assumed to migrate and interact with each other in such a way that lymphocyte-tumour cell complexes are formed. These complexes result in either the death of the tumour cells (the normal situation) or the inactivation of the lymphocytes and consequently the survival of the tumour cells. In the latter case, we assume that each tumour cell which survives its ``brief encounter'' with the CTLs undergoes certain beneficial phenotypic changes. We explore the dynamics of the model under these assumptions and show that the process of immuno-evasion can arise as a consequence of these encounters. We also briefly discuss the evolutionary features of our model, by framing them in the recent quasi-Lamarckian theories
A study of role conflict in a changing society with special reference to some twentieth century problems
No full textThis thesis arises out of a very practical and personal need to identify, examine and possibly resolve any role conflict that might be experienced by the military chaplain in the performance of his religious and military duties. It endeavours to trace the dilemma against a background of certain military and political activities and in the light of some theological comment to arrive at some form of modus Vivendi whereby those who legitimately take up arms in the defence of their country are not without the ministry and help of those who, in ordination, have taken up the profession of Jesus Christ. The history of the military chaplain is traced from the early days of his acceptance by society to the time when he begins to feel rejected and serious doubts are being raised as to his ability to serve both God and Caesar. In an attempt to discover if there is any support or even understanding for his peculiar and specialised ministry the relationship between Church and State is examined and analysed. The role of the chaplain in both war and peace is studied with particular reference to the nuclear deterrent debate, Northern Ireland and its problems and of course the two great world wars of the twentieth century. Questions are asked of many chaplains in an attempt to discover if the conflict is in any sense destructive of their ministry or indeed oreative. In the end the role of the military chaplain is seen to be but a microcosmic .reflection of the paradoxical role that is continually being experienced by all Christians in their attempts to establish the Kingdom of God in a world which is far from perfect
Chaplain Thomas M Bulla Marker Emporia VA
No full textChaplain Thomas M. Bulla marker. Inscription reads:
Thomas McNeill Bulla was born in North Carolina on 4 Jan. 1881. Ordained a Presbyterian minister, he was called here to the First Presbyterian Church of Emporia in 1911. In April 1917, he became chaplain of the 116 Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, and in June 1918 sailed to France. There he joined the troops in the trenches, often venturing into no-man\u27s-land to rescue wounded soldiers. On 15 Oct. 1918, during the Battle of the Meuse, he was himself wounded. He died two days later, the only chaplain of a Virginia regiment to lose his life in the war.

Modeling the emergence of phenotypic heterogeneity in vascularized tumors
No full textWe present a mathematical study of the emergence of phenotypic heterogeneity in vascularized tumors. Our study is based on formal asymptotic analysis and numerical simulations of a system of nonlocal parabolic equations that describes the phenotypic evolution of tumor cells and their nonlinear dynamic interactions with the oxygen, which is released from the intratumoral vascular network. Numerical simulations are carried out both in the case of arbitrary distributions of intratumor blood vessels and in the case where the intratumoral vascular network is reconstructed from clinical images obtained using dynamic optical coherence tomography. The results obtained support a more in-depth theoretical understanding of the eco-evolutionary process which underpins the emergence of phenotypic heterogeneity in vascularized tumors. In particular, our results offer a theoretical basis for empirical evidence indicating that the phenotypic properties of cancer cells in vascularized tumors vary with the distance from the blood vessels, and establish a relation between the degree of tumor tissue vascularization and the level of intratumor phenotypic heterogeneity
