Dr. Craig Kinsley – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Craig Kinsley, Professor of Psychology and co-author of Clinical Neuroscience, discusses this unique textbook that integrates neurobiological mechanisms of general health into the coverage of mental disorders. By using this resource, instructors can easily integrate principles of neuroscience into clinical, developmental, behavioral, cognitive, and social psychology. The second edition of Clinical Neuroscience will be published in early 2010
Improving the Future of Carbon Fibre and its Composites
No full textThe ecological and financial demands on engineering components and structures
exploited in dynamic applications such as surface transport, flight and motorsport,
necessitate a significant reduction in mass to improve their efficiency. Fibre reinforced
composite materials, particularly those reinforced with carbon fibres are becoming
increasingly dominant in those industries as a consequence of their greatly improved
specific properties compared to more traditional metal alloys. The adoption of carbon fibre
materials is hindered however by their high cost and technological development which is
deemed to have “bottlenecked” over the last two decades. The production of carbon fibre
can be described as: “an inefficient, multi-step, international operation festooned with cost
centres, pulled by demand rather than driven by technology and application”. In summary,
the fibres are far more expensive than they ought to be, the technology of the finished
fibres has not changed since the early 1990s and the precursor is made using essentially
1960s chemistry.
The aim of this project is to research the business and manufacturing technology models
currently dominating the production of carbon fibre composites, in order to generate a
business and technical plan capable of creating a manufacturing plant ready to dominate
the industry. The key to a successful outcome is the reduction in costs and improvement
of the technology of carbon fibres, in order to increase the volume and diversity of
exploitation. The project objective is to specify a road map thorough enough for an
entrepreneur with sufficient investment capital to implement and create a functioning plant
which effectively manufactures composites up to and including their pre-impregnated
state.
This is a research project and as such all methods of manufacture are analysed, with a
view to selecting the optimum solution in order to improve this process and formulate a
plan to consolidate all carbon fibre manufacturing in one multi-function plant.
Consultations with experts within the composite industry have been carried out in order
to produce high quality data, and devise radical suggestions as to how the cost can be
lowered and the quality improved.
The location, funding and ownership is proposed to be within a Middle Eastern country
where there is ready access to the requisite resources. Sound technical and business
plans have been constructed, ensuring this venture transpires smoothly. A concurrent
research and development programme will produce higher yields in order to reduce costs,
improve the mechanical properties and develop a cheaper alternative than currently
utilised. The net result will exploit the industrial marketplace, and further development of
additives to improve toughness, fire retardancy and electrical properties will allow for a
much more diverse range of exploitation

The cultivation of (difficult) surfaces or “I know that’s a tree”
No full textTo coincide with the exhibition Real Painting at the Castlefield Gallery in Manchester Craig Staff, author of After Modernist Painting: The History of a Contemporary Practice (2013), offered his response to the exhibition, considering it in relation to painting’s histories, theories and philosophies. From connections with the Renaissance and modernism, he will venture towards the means by which we might begin to think about, if not understand the works that make up Real Painting
Bringing Hidden Organizations Out of the Shadows: Introduction to the Special Issue
No full textThis introduction to the special issue describes hidden organizations, offers several reasons for the lack of research on these collectives, and explains how this collection of articles helps move us forward in efforts to empirically study hidden organizations. After providing background information on the history of this special issue, the five articles published here are described in terms of the type of collective examined, the theories and methods used, and the key research questions addressed. Three observations about the published pieces are made: being hidden requires communicative effort; hiddenness is usefully understood in terms of identity management; and any discussion of hidden organizations raises ethical considerations. The piece closes with acknowledgements and a call for continued conceptual/theoretical and empirical research into hidden organizations.This is an introduction to a special issue on Hidden Organizations edited by the author.

First person - Craig Keenan
Full text linkABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Craig Keenan is first author on ‘Post-traumatic osteoarthritis development is not modified by postnatal chondrocyte deletion of Ccn2’, published in DMM. Craig conducted the research described in this article while a postdoctoral research associate in Dr Blandine Poulet's lab at the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK. He is now a lecturer in vertebrate physiology in the lab of Dr Jason Kirby at Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK, investigating the roles of cartilage and bone in the pathogenesis of degenerative joint disease.</jats:p

Whittier House donor letter and list from Frederick P. Craig
No full textWhittier House scrapbooks document Whittier House programs, events, and anniversary celebrations through newspaper clippings, lecture fliers, newsletters, event programs, and ticket stubs. Newspaper clippings are primarily from the Jersey Journal. There is also Whittier House fundraising materials, including pamphlets, appeal letters, brochures, and postcards. The Whittier House Social Settlement, the first settlement house in New Jersey, was established in Jersey City, N.J. (Hudson County) in 1894. Founded by Cornelia Foster Bradford, who would remain with the organization as headworker until 1926, Whittier House was based on the settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in England. Whittier House provided various recreational and educational programs, along with much needed social services, for the immigrant populations of Jersey City. Many of these successful services were used as models for large-scale social reform movements through the state. In 1935, the Whittier House was taken over by the Boys' Club of Jersey City
