Women Academics in England, 1870-1930
No full textBased on the author's dissertation, this article traces the development of the academic profession for women in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on women at Oxford, Cambridge and London universities. Unlike in the United States, where women's role in higher education expanded and then retracted during this period, British women slowly and steadily made inroads into this male-dominated profession.Peer reviewe
Catholic Women’s Colleges in the United States: An Archival, Bibliographic and Historical Survey

'To Save Them from the Dangers to their Faith’: Documenting Student Life at Catholic Women's Colleges
No full textThis article focuses on student life at Catholic women's colleges in the United States during the 20th century. These colleges helped acculturate many daughters of immigrants to middle-class American society, at the same time creating a specifically female and Catholic culture on college campuses. This evolving culture, which was characterized by the ideals of femininity, religion, and service, can be reconstructed through documentation from the college archives.Peer reviewe
‘A Well-Balanced Education’: Catholic Women’s Colleges in New Jersey, 1900-1970
No full textBy examining Catholic women's colleges in New Jersey during the period 1900-1970, this paper illustrates the complexity of developing a typology of Catholic women's colleges in the United States. The first Catholic women's college in New Jersey, College of Saint Elizabeth was established in 1899 by the Sisters of Charity; followed by Mount St. Mary's, later known as Georgian Court College, in 1908; Caldwell College in 1939; and Felician, originally a junior college, in 1967. Earlier typologies of Catholic women's colleges have divided them into elite liberal arts institutions and local, vocationally-oriented colleges which served the working and lower-middle-class daughters of immigrants. Using college catalogs and yearbooks from the four New Jersey colleges, this study compiles data on curriculum, the education of faculty, college costs, and student origins, and compares it to similar data from two elite colleges, Trinity in Washington, D.C. and Manhattanville in Purchase, New York. In spite of some pressure to offer vocational courses and the challenge of giving women religious faculty members the opportunity to pursue doctoral degrees, during this period New Jersey's Catholic women's colleges provided a Catholic liberal arts education for white middle-class women not unlike that offered at better known and more prestigious colleges. Only after 1970 did social and demographic changes begin to have an impact on the curriculum and student population of this sector of Catholic higher education.Peer reviewe
Gone and Forgotten? New Jersey's Catholic Junior Colleges
No full textIn the late 1960s, New Jersey had eleven seemingly-thriving Catholic junior colleges; by the mid-1970s, all but one of these colleges had closed. This article analyzes why these institutions appeared and disappeared so quickly, and explores what contribution they made to Catholic higher education. While private junior colleges declined throughout the U.S. during this period, in some respects the situation of New Jersey was unique. Research suggests that the greatest contribution these short-lived institutions made was to the education of women religious.Peer reviewe
Vanished Worlds: Searching for the Records of Closed Catholic Women’s Colleges
No full textThis article presents the results of a survey of the archives of 36 Roman Catholic women's colleges that have closed or merged with other institutions since 1967. The majority of these archives are held by the women's religious communities that originally sponsored the colleges, although about one third are held by universities. These archives are rich resources on the history of women, education, religion, and culture that to some degree have been neglected by scholars who have focused on the history of colleges that are still open. As well as suggesting avenues for future research, this article contributes to the literature on how archives can cope with the voluminous records of twentieth-century institutions, and to emerging scholarship on the relationship of archives and memory. The survey upon which it is based revealed certain limitations on preservation, access, and use of these archives, so the article concludes with recommendations on how to make them more visible.Peer reviewe
Silver nanoparticle ink technology: state of the art
No full textKrishna Rajan, Ignazio Roppolo, Annalisa Chiappone, Sergio Bocchini, Denis Perrone, Alessandro Chiolerio Center for Space Human Robotics, Italian Institute of Technology, Turin, Italy Abstract: Printed electronics will bring to the consumer level great breakthroughs and unique products in the near future, shifting the usual paradigm of electronic devices and circuit boards from hard boxes and rigid sheets into flexible thin layers and bringing disposable electronics, smart tags, and so on. The most promising tool to achieve the target depends upon the availability of nanotechnology-based functional inks. A certain delay in the innovation-transfer process to the market is now being observed. Nevertheless, the most widely diffused product, settled technology, and the highest sales volumes are related to the silver nanoparticle-based ink market, representing the best example of commercial nanotechnology today. This is a compact review on synthesis routes, main properties, and practical applications. Keywords: silver nanoparticles, surface plasmon resonance, nanocomposites, inks, printed electronic
A vida e o futuro da crítica com Leyla Perrone-Moisés
No full textThis text aims to present various responses from Leyla Perrone-Moisés to inquiries about the role of the literary critic, their profession, and their relationship with others who share their activity. To achieve this, we traverse her monographic production, especially Altas literaturas, Mutações da literatura no século XXI, and Texto, crítica e escritura, seeking reflections woven by the author over almost five decades. These reflections, due to their insistence on literature, resonate with those who share her passions and can be useful to future critics. Therefore, this article does not intend to formulate a thesis but merely to narrate the history of some concerns and the answers that the reading of Perrone-Moisés\u27 books suggests.Este texto tem como objetivo apresentar diversas respostas de Leyla Perrone-Moisés a indagações sobre o papel do crítico literário, seu ofício e sua relação com os demais indivíduos que compartilham sua atividade. Para isso, percorremos parte de sua produção monográfica, sobretudo Altas literaturas, Mutações da literatura no século XXI e Texto, crítica e escritura, buscando neles reflexões tecidas pela autora ao longo de quase cinco décadas e que, pela sua insistência na literatura, ressonam naqueles que compartilham de seus amores, podendo ser úteis aos críticos por vir. Logo, este artigo não pretende formular uma tese, mas tão somente narrar a história de algumas inquietações e as respostas que a leitura de alguns livros de Perrone-Moisés sugere
Electrothermal modelling for EIBJ nanogap fabrication
No full textFabrication of electrodes with a controlled nanometric separation is strategic for many application fields as molecular electronics and biosensors. A technological process at room temperature with an high yield can be defined starting from electromigration induced break junction technique (EIBJ). A self assembly adhesion molecule (MPTMS (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane) for gold, efficiently used in previous works, solves the problems of metallic residuals, typical of titanium and chromium. As a consequence a simple and low cost technological process to realise gold nanogaps at room temperature becomes feasible. The analysis of internal mechanisms that act on metal wire, when the density produces electromigration, together with a thermal model of the wire itself, can be used to control nanogap dimension. The design of a large set of wires, where different geometries are used to modify their thermal behaviour during electromigration, is used to verify feedback algorithms to control applied bias voltage. Some interesting experimental results seem to confirm the model proposed by the authors, opening new opportunities for future high yield nanogap fabrication
