Ralph DePalma
No full textRalph DePalma nursed his Mercedes to victory in the 1915 race, leaking oil and running on three cylinders. In 1912 DePalma had a two lap lead on the field when the car came to a stop less than a mile from the finish. DePalma and his riding mechanic got out of the car and began pushing. The race winner, Joe Dawson, swept by as driver and mechanic, keeping close to the inside edge of the track, entered the front straightaway and the finish line. The crowd, noticing their approach, exploded into cheers

The Performance of a Depalma Roots-type Supercharger
No full textThe results of tests made to determine the performance of a DePalma-Roots supercharger are presented. The performance of the DePalma supercharger with atmospheric pressure at the discharge was compared with that of a hypothetical NACA Roots-type supercharger of the same displacement. The tests were conducted at speeds from 1,000 to 6,000 r.p.m. and at pressure differences from 0 to 15 inches of mercury. The variation in clearance between the impeller tips and the impeller housing was determined for the DePalma supercharger at a speed of 2,000 r.p.m. and for the NACA supercharger at speeds from 500 to 3,000 r.p.m. with the pressure differences for each supercharger varying form 0 to 15 inches of mercury. The results indicate that, if warping and growing of the metals of the case and impellers are neglected, the most uniform clearances can probably be maintained for all operating conditions when the case and impellers are constructed of metals that have the same coefficient of expansion. The results also show that the discharge and intake openings of this model of the DePalma supercharger are too small, which lowers the volumetric efficiency and impairs the performance at all speeds and pressure differences. At high pressure difference the volumetric efficiency of the DePalma supercharger is greater when the discharge pressure surpasses atmospheric pressure than when the discharge pressure is atmospheric
Climate change and ethical perceptions data set
No full textThis is the raw, but filtered, data set from the nationally representative survey I ran in Feb 2018, for my dissertation. I ran it through Survey Sampling International. While climate change has been a scientific reality for years, the American public trails behind in its acceptance of it. Targeted message framing has the ability to increase environmental pro-behavior and advocacy if these messages call upon previously-held values of traditionally skeptical groups. I frame messages about individuals’ ethical obligations to mitigate carbon emissions using the three normative ethical approaches of deontology, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics, to determine if Americans find a particular ethical frame more relatable than others. By conducting a nationally representative survey of 1,202 respondents across the United States, I find that religiosity positively correlates with the deontologically framed message. This study highlights the advantages of using deontological appeals to frame mitigation messages in order to capture a greater audience of the religious demographic. Hypothesis: The more religious respondents are, the more likely they will agree with a deontologically framed message of their ethical obligations to mitigate carbon emissions. The religious represent another group divided on climate change, and conceivably this is in part because many ethically-framed messages do not appeal to the group’s values. Choosing ethical frames that correspond to ethical worldviews that religious individuals already value can help to unify environmental attitudes (Markowitz & Shariff, 2012). In what follows, I will show why the religious should be more accepting of messages that use a deontological frame as deontology is a prevalent appeal and value among the religious. Reframing environmental issues using ethical values that are previously-held and revered by religious individuals will likely reap results comparable to Fienberg and Willer’s (2013) study on message framing for conservatives. Increasing evidence advances the idea that religious and non-religious individuals make ethical decisions fundamentally differently (Goodwin & Darley, 2008; J. Graham & Haidt, 2010; Piazza, 2012; Piazza & Sousa, 2014; Tetlock, 2003). While religious individuals characteristically rely on deontological judgements to navigate ethical dilemmas (Barak-Corren & Bazerman, 2017; Conway & Gawronski, 2013; Piazza, 2012; Piazza & Sousa, 2014; Szekely, Opre, & Miu, 2015; Tetlock, 2003), non-religious individuals prefer forms of utilitarianism (Banerjee, Huebner, & Hauser, 2010; Piazza & Landy, 2013). Religious individuals tend to evaluate ethical behavior according to whether actions follow certain norms or not, rather than in terms of what outcomes actions might cause (Banerjee et al., 2010; Conway & Gawronski, 2013; Piazza, 2012; Piazza & Sousa, 2014). This hypothesis was supported at the p less than or equal to 0.05 level

Anthony Frederick DePalma, MD: educator, researcher and clinical care doctor.
No full textMy first meeting with Dr. DePalma was in 1957 as an intern in his office on the 6th floor of the Curtis Clinic. He and I spoke for a while about the residency and he looked at me and said “you know you are going to be 33 years old before you make a plug nickel.” I replied, “well I don’t make any money now, so what is the difference?” He laughed and I got the residency. In the next two years, I spent many hours in the operating room with Dr. DePalma and learned quickly how skilled a surgeon he was. He was a master technician: he knew where to put his incision; he was kind to soft tissue; he worked quickly, resulting in minimal blood loss. He did surgery of the spine, hip, knee, shoulder, foot, ankle, and hand. Well before the advent of sports medicine, he performed surgery on the Philadelphia Phillies Baseball team. He was the true general orthopedist
Interrogating Heteronormativity in Primary Schools: The No Outsiders Project
No full textThe No Outsiders team, a collaboration of primary education practitioners and university researchers, has taken groundbreaking steps in addressing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality in primary schools. This book continues Trentham's commitment to challenging homophobia and heterosexism in and through education and follows Atkinson and DePalma's account of sexualities equality in children's worlds in school and beyond: Invisible Boundaries - addressing sexualities equality in children's world. In "Interrogating Normativity" they and their colleagues from the ESRC-funded No Outsiders research team explore and analyse central issues which permeate the team's challenge to gender conformity through primary education. The need for primary teachers and other professionals working with children to address equality in relation to sexual orientation and gender expression is becoming increasingly urgent in the light of recent changes in UK legislation. The Civil Partnership Act (2006), the Equality Act (2007) and new legislative requirements for ensuring the active promotion of child wellbeing, gender equality and community cohesion all place demands on schools and support services which they are ill-equipped to meet. This book fills a gap by examining how we might go about addressing these demands. "Interrogating Heteronormativity in Primary Schools" brings together the wide-ranging expertise of the project's large research team, plus a chapter by Susan Talburt. It explores key themes related to the project's work: silence and speaking out; faith and culture; leadership and role-modelling; personal and emotional investment; gay rights/liberal humanist and queer perspectives; safety and risk-taking; the possibility of a queer pedagogy; and intersections between queer theory and practice. This academic companion to the team's practice-focused book drawing on the project teachers' classroom work, "Undoing Homophobia in Primary Schools", will be essential reading for all those in primary education who are concerned to challenge this last bastion of inequality, as well as for students and researchers in sociology, cultural studies, queer studies and related fields where the underlying discourses shaping heteronormativity and gender conformity require urgent analysis in the move towards a fairer society
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
