Sparrows can't sing : East End kith and kinship in the 1960s
Get PDFSparrows Can’t Sing (1963) was the only feature film directed by
the late and much lamented Joan Littlewood. Set and filmed in
the East End, where she worked for many years, the film deserves
more attention than it has hitherto received. Littlewood’s career
spanned documentary (radio recordings made with Ewan MacColl
in the North of England in the 1930s) to directing for the stage
and the running of the Theatre Royal in London’s Stratford East,
often selecting material which aroused memories in local audiences
(Leach 2006: 142). Many of the actors trained in her Theatre
Workshop subsequently became better known for their appearances
on film and television. Littlewood herself directed hardly any material
for the screen: Sparrows Can’t Sing and a 1964 series of television
commercials for the British Egg Marketing Board, starring Theatre
Workshop’s Avis Bunnage, were rare excursions into an area of practice
which she found constraining and unamenable (Gable 1980: 32).
The hybridity and singularity of Littlewood’s feature may answer,
in some degree, for its subsequent neglect. However, Sparrows Can’t
Sing makes a significant contribution to a group of films made in
Britain in the 1960s which comment generally on changes in the
urban and social fabric. It is especially worthy of consideration,
I shall argue, for the use which Littlewood made of a particular
community’s attitudes – sentimental and critical – to such changes and
for its amalgamation of an attachment to documentary techniques
(recording an aural landscape on location) with a preference for nonnaturalistic
delivery in performance
Loyalty to the Church, Loyalty to the Duke: Conflicts of Power in Late Medieval Ferrara
No full textIn 1479 Folco d'Este, rector of the church of S. Romano and son of Rinaldo d'Este, took part in the unrest that accompanied the election of the rector of the university's law students. In exercising governmental duties, the duke gave alms to churches and monasteries, received requests for help and, without being expressly invited, intervened even in ecclesiastical matters. For example, on 10 January 1476, Duke Hercules asked the rector of Modena to convince a Franciscan friar who was preaching in the city to use less violent tones against the Jews. A benefice was associated with the Church of Fossa d'Albero, under the patronage of the dukes. In the same years in which Bartolomeo and Giovanni Caleffini wrote their complaints, Duke Hercules presented himself on the Italian and European scene as protector of the clergy, model of piety, and founder of churches and monasteries

Applications of X-ray crystallography: studies into the structural perturbations of peri-substituted naphthalene derivatives
No full textThe majority of research in this thesis uses X-ray crystallography to investigate the structural features of peri-substituted naphthalene compounds. X-ray crystallography is introduced in chapter one, followed by a discussion on modes of distortion peri-substituted naphthalene derivatives can undergo, in chapter two.
In chapter three, compounds having non-bonded -SPh and -EPh (E = S, Se, or Te) peri-substituents are compared. These similar compounds react differently when oxidized with bromine. The oxidation products are used to discuss a recently proposed mechanism and a more specific mechanism is suggested.
In chapter four, a one-pot synthesis for naphtho[1,8-c,d]-1,2-diselenole (Se₂naph) is reported. Substituents were added to Se₂naph to form two new naphthalene compounds. The substituents are found to distort the Se-Se bond and influence packing.
In chapter five, several diselenium-containing compounds are used as ligands in platinum(II)-bisdiphosphine complexes. The preference for platinum(II) to stay square planar dictates the geometry around the metal center, not the rigidity of the naphthalene backbone.
Chapter six introduces (8-phenylsulfanylnaphth-1-yl)diphenylphosphine, a peri-substituted naphthalene containing -SPh and -PPh₂ substituents, and several derivatives. This ligand is used in a variety of complexes containing platinum(II), ruthenium(II), and copper(I) metal halides, whose coordination geometries are discussed in chapter 7. The naphthalene-based ligands in Cu(I) and Ru(II) seem to determine the geometry around the metal, whereas the metal center d-orbitals dominate in the Pt(II) examples.
Chapters eight and nine deviate from the naphthalene theme. In chapter eight, X-ray analysis of sulfoxide compounds is used to discuss the structural environment around the sulfur. Various intra- and inter-molecular interactions were discovered in crystal packing.
Finally, chapter 9 uses STANDARD (St ANDrews Automated Robotic Diffractometer) to statistically analyze numerous E₂Ph₂ (E = S, Se, or Te) crystals to determine chirality. It is intriguing that Te₂Ph₂ shows a preference for one enantiomer over the other
Synthesis and selenation of tandem multicomponent condensation adducts
No full textA number of four-component condensation adducts, which were readily obtained from one-pot reaction of aryl carboxylic acids, arylaldehydes, arylamines and c-hexylisocyanide, were treated with two equivalents of Woollins’ reagent leading to the formation of a series of novel selenoamides with one or two C=Se groups, or heterocyclic compounds such as 1,3-selenazole and 1,3-selenazolidin-5-onePeer reviewe
The air microwave yield (AMY) experiment - A laboratory measurement of the microwave emission from extensive air showers
Get PDFThe AMY experiment aims to measure the microwave bremsstrahlung radiation (MBR) emitted by air-showers secondary electrons accelerating in collisions with neutral molecules of the atmosphere. The measurements are performed using a beam of 510 MeV electrons at the Beam Test Facility (BTF) of Frascati INFN National Laboratories. The goal of the AMY experiment is to measure in laboratory conditions the yield and the spectrum of the GHz emission in the frequency range between 1 and 20 GHz. The final purpose is to characterise the process to be used in a next generation detectors of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. A description of the experimental setup and the first results are presented. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence
Echo fold revolve
No full textEcho Fold Revolve (2008) is an artwork for single screen SD video with sound. Using adapted everyday objects and a combination of digital and analogue technology, the work re-imagines the ‘texture’ of early television technology from 1920's and early 1930's in Britain. The vertical patterns synonymous with the 30-line television technology invented by engineer John Logi Baird, becomes the filter through which early 20th century archive images and sounds are re-enacted. The music in the video is an adaptation of the song 'Amy’ by Horatio Nicolls arranged for voice and ‘banjulele’ written on the occasion of Amy Johnson’s solo flight from England to Australia in 1930. The work is part of The Difference Machine, a series of works for video and voice by the author that use mediated sounds and images to investigate the roles and representations of pioneering women in the assimilation of technology into culture
