Oral History Interview with John W. Fields
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with John Fields. While attending Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Fields participated in the Civilian Pilot Training Program and received his pilot license. Upon graduating from college in 1940, he joined the US Army Air Corps and was sent to Santa Maria, California. Upon his arrival he began pilot training with the Hancock School of Aeronautics. He tells of the various types of planes flown with instruction by civilian pilots. Upon graduating, he was assigned to the 7th Bomb Group, 22nd Bomb Squadron and began training in B-17’s. The training included gunnery, celestial navigation and acting as copilot. Flying from Edwards Army Air Base he arrived at Hickam Field, Hawaii on 16 December 1941. He tells of seeing the aftermath of the Japanese attack of 7 December 1941. After spending six weeks flying patrol missions out of Wheeler Field, Hawaii, he flew to Garbutt Field, Townsville, Australia where he joined the 19th Bomb Group, 435th Armed Reconnaissance. Fields gives an insightful description of many of the fifty-one combat mission he flew, including participation in the Battle of the Coral Sea and the evacuation of members of General McArthur’s staff, which included Philippine generals Carlos Romulo and Basilo Valdez, from Mindanao. They were taken to Melbourne, Australia. Fields concludes the narrative by telling of his assignments after returning to the United States

Customized turbulent flow fields
No full textA new approach is shown, which describes the interaction between an active grid excitation and a wind tunnel flow. With this approach we are able to find an excitation for the grid which reproduces an any turbulent flow field. Thereby we can bring free field measurements inside the wind tunnel. The presentation will show how the approach works and comparisons between reference data sets (outside measurements by ultrasonic anemometer) and wind tunnel flow fields generated by an active grid
Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;
Terraced fields with trees
No full textThe photograph is shot from a higher path, looking down into a valley with groups of structures and a village; many (fruit?) trees are in bloom, and there are terraced fields throughout the valley; steep cliffs surround the valley. The negative is black and white, and is either somewhat cloudy or the atmosphere is rainy or dusty; no number is visible
England Calling: A Narratological Exploration of Martin Amis’s 'London Fields'
No full textThis paper will explore connections between fictional narrative methodology and contemporary conceptions of Englishness by applying aspects of Gerald Prince’s (2005) conceptions of a ‘postcolonial narratology’ to Martin Amis’s “London Fields” (1989). Amis has commented that ‘it’s almost an act of will on my part trying not to be an English writer’. However, this paper will suggest that the novel under consideration here exhibits methodological tendencies which have their roots in a protracted engagement with problematic notions of English identity (principally, instability and disengagement) and that postcolonial approaches to narrative technique can lead to very interesting results, even when applied to the work of writers not typically identified with such constituencies. The central point of investigation will be the novel’s exhibition of metafictional tendencies. In “London Fields”, Amis narrates via an authorial surrogate, Samson Young, who purports to be the author of the text, yet becomes implicated in the events of the novel to the point where his actions, rather than his imagination, determine its outcome. It is interesting also in this connection that the novel is voiced by an ‘outsider’ to England, an American.
Prince is intrigued by the possibility that a postcolonial narrative discourse might emerge ‘free of any narratorial introduction, mediation, or patronage.’ He also points to the significance of narratological features such as hybridity, migrancy, otherness, fragmentation, diversity and power relations. Amis’s novel exhibits all of these features, and takes the ambition of authorial invisibility to a paradoxical extreme. Voices, characters, reliability and even actantial events are brusquely ‘disowned’ by the author, resulting in a textual instability and uncertainty which, it will be demonstrated through close textual analysis, is intimately linked to England’s postcolonial condition
