Struthers Burt
Get PDFIf the pen is mightier than the sword, Maxwell Struthers Burt was a stalwart warrior. Poet, essayist, novelist, short story writer, librettist, reviewer, author of a literary manifesto, contributor to letter-to-the-editor columns, and personal letter writer, Burt seems never to have stopped writing over a career of a half-century. His principal publisher was Charles Scribner’s Sons, which, under the editorial leadership of Maxwell Perkins, published the work of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe, and a variety of other respected writers. Burt’s articles, essays, poems, and stories appeared in many of the most successful magazines in America: Scribner\u27s Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, The Red Book Magazine, Ladies’ Home Journal, and The North American Review. He wrote scores of reviews for such publications as The Saturday Review of Literature, the New York Times, and the Philadelphia Record. Untiringly, Burt sent his views to the editors of far-flung newspapers: the Jackson\u27s Hole Courier, the St. Petersburg Times, the Princeton Alumni Weekly, and the New York Herald Tribune. The “Most Unforgettable Character” he had ever met. an old-time cowboy named Cal Carrington, was the subject of Burt’s article in The Reader’s Digest. When totalitarianism threatened the writers’ freedom in 1941, Burt wrote and circulated the American Authors’ Manifesto, which was signed by one hundred writers, including E. B. White, Frank Waters, Floyd Dell, and Max Lerner. The Best Short Stories of 1915 honored Burt’s “The Water-Hole,” and his fine story “Each in His Generation” won first prize in the 0. Henry Memorial Award competition in 1920. Respected, frequently praised, and widely read in the 1920s and 1930s, Burt, the stalwart warrior, is today a forgotten soldier
Teaching fundamental British values in primary schools : project summary
Get PDFThis project developed out of academic research carried out by Alison Struthers into the practice of Fundamental British Values (FBV) and Human Rights Education (HRE) in English primary schools. In this research, the author explored the problems with the Government’s FBV agenda, and argued that because human rights values are rooted in universality, couching FBV in this broader framework would be likely to contribute to societal cohesion to a far greater extent than the potentially discriminatory FBV guidance. This project sought to action these findings by showing how teaching about FBV can be linked effectively to broader human rights values
The role of urate and xanthine oxidase in vascular oxidative stress:Future directions
Get PDFVascular oxidative stress has been shown to be a potent factor in the pathophysiology of endothelial dysfunction. Despite current optimal evidence-based therapy, mortality from various cardiovascular disorders remains high. The search for newer, novel ways of attenuating endothelial dysfunction has yielded several new and exciting possibilities, one of which is the manipulation of urate levels using xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Agents such as allopurinol have shown marked improvements in vascular endothelial function in various cohorts at risk of cardiovascular events. Most of the evidence so far comes from smaller mechanistic studies. The few large randomized controlled trials have failed to show any significant mortality benefit using these agents. This article highlights the potential avenues of further research such as dose-response, and the potential for these agents to regress left ventricular hypertrophy. The role of newer agents such as febuxostat and oxypurinol are discussed as well as potential reasons why some of the current newer agents have failed to live up to the promising early-phase data. It is crucial that these remaining questions surrounding urate, xanthine oxidase and the role of various agents that affect this important oxidative stress-generating system are answered, and therefore these promising agents should not be discarded prematurely

Environmental impacts and emissions reduction potential of floating wind and marine energy in future energy scenarios of Great Britain
Get PDFHumans are unequally causing environmental harm through consumption of natural materials and energy beyond sustainable limits. Amongst the most severe and cross-cutting human induced pressures on Earth is climate change. This is driven by higher average temperature from increased retention of solar energy via increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases released by human activities; primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂) from combustion of fossil fuels: oil, gas and coal. This thesis considers the environmental impacts and climate change impacts of novel forms of offshore renewable energy, and assesses how effectively they can obviate emissions from fossil fuel power generation, using the electricity system of Great Britain as a case study.
The United Kingdom and its devolved nations have enshrined in law a target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or earlier.
Simultaneously, the UK’s oceanic climate and island geography are well placed to host significant installed capacities of offshore wind which will form the backbone of the power system in almost all Net Zero scenarios, and – although to a lesser extent – marine energy (wave and tidal stream). These renewable energies obviously forgo fossil fuels as a primary consumable, but do include non-zero environmental impacts via their construction, operation and disposal.
Wave energy remains an untapped source of renewable electricity, with ongoing technological development beginning in the 1970’s. Studies of the life cycle environmental impacts of arrays of new wave energy converter (WEC) devices are uncommon, and a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a novel device – the Blue Horizon – is presented here, deployed in four utility-scale arrays including a substation, highly detailed vessel representation and site-specific energy production, finding a global warming impact of 68.3 to 94.9 gCO₂eq/kWh across the arrays and carbon payback beyond the lifetime of the array when future scenarios of carbon intensity are used.
Conversely, UK floating wind deployment is growing. Here, arrays of the International Energy Agency (IEA) 15 MW Reference Wind Turbine (RWT), on floating platforms arranged in commercial-scale arrays at multiple locations are assessed and compared to the wave energy results, finding a climate impact of 17.4 to 26.3 gCO₂eq/kWh, and a payback time of three to twelve years depending on future scenario. Site-specific energy production and vessel operations are provided by a dedicated offshore wind farm operations and maintenance (O&M) model, COMPASS, allowing service operation vessel (SOV) O&M impacts to be assessed with increased confidence.
The next aspect of the thesis considers ways of modelling the integration of these life cycle impact assessments with the wider energy system. To permit this, projections for wave and tidal stream installed capacities are developed with discrete geospatial coordinates of potential deployment sites to create three scenarios (low, mid and high) of future deployment around GB. These scenarios are then used with a new power system modelling tool, PyPSA-GB, and Future Energy Scenarios (FES) from National Grid, to consider the emissions reduction potential of marine renewable generation in the future, and how this relates to the static attributional impacts from preceding LCA studies. Accounting for the fleets of generation within the FES finds that carbon payback is almost never achieved for the cases considered, and that complementarity has a limited effect on the technology’s climate change mitigation efficacy, which is simply dominated by the installed capacities in the future scenarios
