Wragg's improved flute preceptor, or The whole art of playing the German flute : rendered perfectly easy to every capacity, on principles entirely new, and by which any one, who has a taste for music, may soon acquire a knowledge of that instrument, without the aid of a master : to which are added, a set of progressive lessons, sixty one original duets, progressively arranged in the most useful keys, each of which is preceded by an easy prelude, and an explanatory note, by which the pupil is enabled to proceed by progressive steps, from the easiest to the most difficult key : to which are also added, a set of ariettes, a pleasing collection of Scottish and other airs, a set of preludes in the various keys, & ample instructions for an eight key'd flute, op. 6 / by the author.

Practical Filters Using Distributed RC Structures
No full textTitle: Practical Filters Using Distributed RC Structures, Author: Edmund J. Wragg, Location: ThodeTheoretical and experimental studies into practical filters using distributed RC structures are described. Various techniques to surmount the transcendental nature of the circuit parameters of such structures are considered and shown to be mostly too clumsy or restricted for practical use. The use of computer-aided analysis together with a sound physical understanding is suggested as an alternative. Application of the structures to active filters is considered and the experimental development of lowpass and bandpass amplifiers using them described. This leads to the presentation of a general design procedure for bandpass amplifiers using distributed RC null circuits. It is concluded that distributed RC filters suffer from a number of limitation but have a part to play as a circuit element and are now ready to advance to the stage of practical implementation.ThesisMaster of Engineering (ME
An Exploration of the Dynamics of Consensual Approaches in Biodiversity Planning for the Wider Countryside: Evaluating the Usefulness and Applicability of Actor-Network Theory
No full textThis research examines the usefulness of applying theoretical principles from the Sociology of
Translation and Actor Network Theory to the scenario of biodiversity planning in Oxfordshire
between the early nineteen nineties and 2001. It develops a model derived from a social
constructionist approach to considering Nature, and seeks to apply it to empirical data on the
development of Oxfordshire's Local Biodiversity Action Plan. The data is considered in relation
to the four poles of the model which are the 'scientific knowledge or technical' pole; the
'institutional' pole; the 'production of practices' pole and the 'nature protected' pole. The idea
that is applied is that scientific knowledge that is generated for a purpose becomes the accepted
wisdom and consequently is institutionalized. From this acceptance of the importance of
scientific or technical authority, practices will then be generated (for example, land or water
management strategies) and these then protect particular elements of nature; essentially what
society, and more specifically, the actors involved with problematising the issue deem as being
elements that are important to preserve.
Also, there is a time and space dimension built into the model since the author builds on the
ideas of actor-network theorists who argue that a network is not a flat shape but that actors may
act at a distance (e. g. global actor) but still be linked into a localized network. Similarly, actors
may be incorporated from different times but may be held into place within a given network
because their views or actions are part of a stable agreement (e. g. text/intermediary object) that
has encapsulated a number of different actors.The actor-networks presented in this thesis are
heterogeneous in nature in that they incorporate elements of nature and the human world as
different actors represent the views of others. The research explores stable and unstable
networks that are founded within consensual approaches through partnership working between
many different types of organisation
Chemical Structures of Specific Sodium Ion Battery Components Determined by Operando Pair Distribution Function and X-ray Diffraction Computed Tomography
No full textTo improve lithium and sodium ion battery technology we must understand how the properties of the components are controlled by their chemical structures. Operando structural studies give us some of the most useful information on how batteries work, but it remains difficult to separate out the contributions of the various components of a battery stack (e.g. electrodes, current collectors, electrolyte and binders) and examine specific materials. We have used operando X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT) to study specific components of an essentially unmodified, working cell and extract detailed, space resolved structural information on both crystalline and amorphous phases present during cycling. We illustrate this method with the first detailed structural examination of the cycling of sodium in a phosphorus anode, revealing surprisingly different mechanisms for sodiation and desodiation in this promising, high capacity anode system
Genome-wide analysis reveals the extent of EAV-HP integration in domestic chicken
No full textBackground: EAV-HP is an ancient retrovirus pre-dating Gallus speciation, which continues to circulate in modern
chicken populations, and led to the emergence of avian leukosis virus subgroup J causing significant economic losses to
the poultry industry. We mapped EAV-HP integration sites in Ethiopian village chickens, a Silkie, Taiwan Country chicken,
red junglefowl Gallus gallus and several inbred experimental lines using whole-genome sequence data.
Results: An average of 75.22 ± 9.52 integration sites per bird were identified, which collectively group into 279 intervals
of which 5 % are common to 90 % of the genomes analysed and are suggestive of pre-domestication integration events.
More than a third of intervals are specific to individual genomes, supporting active circulation of EAV-HP in
modern chickens. Interval density is correlated with chromosome length (P < 2.31−6), and 27 % of intervals are
located within 5 kb of a transcript. Functional annotation clustering of genes reveals enrichment for immunerelated
functions (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Our results illustrate a non-random distribution of EAV-HP in the genome, emphasising the
importance it may have played in the adaptation of the species, and provide a platform from which to
extend investigations on the co-evolutionary significance of endogenous retroviral genera with their hosts
