The lordship of Galloway c. 1000 to c. 1250
No full textThe recorded history of the lordship under the House of Fergus
lasted from only e. 1130 to 1231, but its origins lie in the fusion of
the various peoples settled there by c. 1000. A blend of Celtic and
Germanic groups created a hybrid culture that had more in common with
Man and the Isles than mainland Scotland. Galwegian attitudes to and
relationship with Scotland before c. 1130 are unclear, but ties with
York and Man had greater value than Scottish claims to overlordship.
The emergence of a powerful line of rulers kept the ambitions of the
Crown in check, but any divisions in their ranks were exploited by the
Scots. Close family links with the Plantagenet kings provided a
counterbalance to Scottish interference, but brought English
overlordship instead. This had the side-effect of securing the
separation of the see of Whithorn from the Scottish Church.
Marriage and kinship ties brought the lords political power in
Scotland, England and Man, and control of estates outwith the
lordship. This in turn led to the closer integration of Galloway into
Scotland as its rulers gained high office in the kingdom. Thus the
lords developed a dual character as Anglo-Scottish baron and Celtic
chieftain. Introduction of Normanised colonists and the development
of 'feudal' military tenures fostered this transition and eroded
regional particularism. Integration was accelerated by elimination of
the male line and partition between heiresses married into
Anglo-Norman families. Division broke the power of Galloway, weakened
the influence of its new rulers over the Galwegians and gave the Crown
the control for which it had long striven

Large scale, population-based finite element analysis of cementless tibial tray fixation
No full textJoint replacements are a common treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures of both the hip and knee. The rising number of procedures being performed each year means that there is a need to assess the performance of an implant design in the general population. The majority of computational studies assessing implants do not take into account inter-patient variability and only use a single patient model. More often than not, it is then assumed that the results can be extrapolated to the general population. This thesis describes a method allowing population-based assessment of joint replacements, focussing on the tibial tray component of a total knee replacement. To generate a large population of models for finite element analysis, two statistical models were used. One was of the tibia, capturing both the variability of the morphology and bone quality, and the other was of the internal knee loads during a gait cycle. Assessment of the statistical models showed that they could adequately generate representative tibiae and gait cycle loads. An automated method was then developed to size, position, and implant the tibial tray in the generated population of tibiae in preparation for finite element analysis. The use of a population-based study, a unique approach compared to current studies, was demonstrated using three case studies assessing the performance of the tibial tray. The first case study examined the factors which might increase the risk of failure of the tibial tray and the effect of under sizing the tibial tray on primary stability. Factors such as bone quality and patient weight were seen to increase the risk of failure. It was found that under sizing the tibial tray did not significantly affect the primary stability of the tibial tray. It was also observed that the peak strain occurred during swing phase of the gait cycle, whereas peak micromotion occurred at the beginning of stance phase of the gait. The second case study investigated the effect of tibia resection depth on primary stability of the tibial tray. A more distal resection was found to increase the peak strain and micromotion of the bone-tray interface. The worsening primary stability with a more distal resection, suggest that to obtain optimal primary stability of the tibial tray it is necessary to resect as little bone as possible. The third case study compared three tibial tray designs. It was found that the trays with pegs or flanges surrounding the stem tended to perform better, reducing the strain and the micromotion at the bone-tray interface. It was noted that the performance of the trays predicted by the analysis was similar to that observed clinically. This shows the potential use of population-based studies to help predict the clinical outcome of joint replacements
Galloway-Stone Manuscripts Inventory
No full textTHE NATHANIEL GALLOWAY DIARIES PAPERS (Accn 1936) INVENTORY J. Willard Marriott Library Manuscripts Division University of Utah This inventory was prepared by Roy Webb in April 2002. In October, 2001, a descendant of Nathaniel Galloway, Mrs. Kay Neilson of Richfield, Utah, allowed the Special Collections Department to copy several documents that had been created by her great-grandfather, Nathaniel Galloway, a famous Colorado River explorer and boatman. The first journal covers Galloway\u27s 1896-97 expedition with William Richmond, was edited and published in 1898 in two newspapers: the VERNAL EXPRESS, of Vernal, Utah, which was Galloway\u27s home; and the COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE, location unknown. The two versions are virtually identical; the VERNAL EXPRESS was published as a series between June 30 and October 6, 1898; the COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE article was published as a whole on Sunday, June 26, 1898. It is likely that the COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE is the newspaper of Cincinnati, Ohio, as that was the home of Galloway\u27s friend, Julius F. Stone, with whom Galloway repeated this same voyage in 1909. The versions in the collection are typed transcriptions of the original newspaper articles done by Otis R. Marston. The second is Galloway\u27s journal from the 1909 Stone Expedition. The original diary was scanned and posted on the J. Willard Marriott library\u27s website at http://www.lib.utah.edu/digital/collections/galloway before being returned to Mrs. Neilson. Included in this collection are a typed transcript by Colorado River historian Otis R. Marston, and a print-out of a transcription that was edited for electronic searching by Roy Webb of the Special Collections Dept., J. Willard Marriott Library, in 2001. This journal covers September-November 1909. Finally, there is a copy of a letter dated January 19, 1960, from Otis R. Marston to Leslie Bliss of the Huntington Library, San Marino, California, describing the provenance of the 1909 journal. Related to the 1909 journal are a series of 100 photographs taken by Raymond Cogswell; these were presented to Galloway as an album, and in 1994 another descendant of Nathaniel Galloway allowed the library to copy these images, which are found in P0749.

An investigation of Japanese university students' attitudes towards English
No full textAs a global language, English has spread to the extent that non-native speakers now outnumber native speakers. In the last few decades, a body of research literature has emerged demonstrating the decreasing global relevance of native English speakers, and calling for a re-evaluation of English Language Teaching (ELT) practices, in order to better prepare students for using English as a global lingua franca. However, students’ needs and attitudes towards English and ELT must be fully investigated before curriculum changes can be suggested. Many attitude studies conclude that students favour native varieties of English. However, such research often uses single research methods and very few relate attitude studies to ELT. Further research is required regarding students’ attitudes towards English, the factors influencing these attitudes and how they relate to ELT. Moreover, few studies have investigated these proposals in any depth or explored the impact of course instruction in the global uses of English on students’ attitudes.This thesis is an investigation of Japanese university students’ attitudes towards English and English teachers in relation to the use of English as a lingua franca (ELF). In order to widen the scope of understanding, this research employed a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to obtain data about the participants and their attitudes. Thus, questionnaires, interviews and focus groups were used. Following the introduction, chapter two and three provide a literature review. Chapter four outlines the methodology, and the results are presented in chapters five, six and seven. Chapter eight presents a discussion of the results and the implications of this study for teaching English are discussed in chapter nine. The findings suggest that English is seen as a language belonging to native English speakers and those students want to learn native English. However, the results highlighted that a number of factors influence students’ attitudes. The findings also demonstrated that the study of Global Englishes influenced students in a number of ways, including their motivation for learning English, attitudes towards varieties of English and attitudes towards English teachers. It encouraged them to question notions of ‘standard English’, was helpful for future ELF communication and raised their confidence as English speakers. In sum, the findings of this study provide an empirical basis for a re-evaluation of ELT and suggest that Global Englishes Language Teaching is something that should be further investigated
