Portrait of Howard Hanley
No full textHoward Hanley was born January 1, 1937, in Sussex, England and received a Bachelor of Science (1959) and a Ph.D. (1963) in chemistry from Queen Mary College at the University of London. He came to the U.S. as a research associate at Pennsylvania State University, and in 1965 joined the National Bureau of Standards’ Cryogenics Division in Boulder as a physical chemist.
Hanley was as an internationally recognized expert in the theory, prediction, interpretation, and correlation of thermophysical property data. His major research interests included experimental and theoretical investigations of structure in complex multiphase fluid systems; the properties and behavior of synthetic liquids, petroleum liquids and natural gas; and transport phenomena and rheology. He was named an NBS Fellow in 1985 and retired in 2000.
Hanley received numerous awards and recognitions including: the Department of Commerce Gold Medal and Silver Medal; he was named the senior scientific advisor to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization; Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, London; and a Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg, Berlin.
While at NIST, he established collaborations with the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Colorado and with several universities abroad, including the Technical University of Berlin, the Langevin Institute in Grenoble, and the Research School of Chemistry at the Australian National University. Hanley was active in promoting industrial applications of academic and government research. He served on committees of many national and international organizations.
The author or co-author of over two hundred research publications, he delivered more than ninety invited talks and lectures at universities, institutions and conferences worldwide. He organized an international conference on Nonlinear Fluid Behavior in Boulder in 1982, very early in the development of this new subject. He also organized the 9th and the 11th Conference on Thermophysical Properties in Boulder. These conferences were so successful that all of the subsequent triannual conferences have been held in Boulder. The most recent, the 22nd Conference was held in 2024.
Howard Hanley died March 27, 2025 in Australia.

A calendar of selected letters of James Hanley from the Northern Illinois University Libraries
No full textThis thesis catalogues and describes selected correspondence in Northern Illinois University\u27s collection of the neglected British novelist and playwright James Hanley. Taken from NIU\u27s collection of letters from Hanley to Norman Unger and Anthony Ward as well as those written to Hanley from theatrical and literary agents, the calendar illuminates Hanley\u27s lifetime career as a writer. The contents are described and annotated with a focus on historical events and prominent literary and theatrical figures that influenced Hanley\u27s writing. The author\u27s experience of reduced, often oppressive conditions in England after the Second World War as seen in his letters to his American friend Norman Unger shows the source of themes of oppression and freedom in the common man that was often a large part of his novels. The letters from theatrical and literary agents illuminate the opportunities afforded to struggling writers by the rise of the television and film industry, an industry that shaped both the direction and theme of Hanley\u27s writing. The difficult realities of Hanley\u27s writing career are also made evident by his frequent letters attempting to promote and sell his works to in different critics and audiences. Finally, James Hanley is seen in the last stages of his career in his letters to Anthony Ward selling off a lifetime of work with bitterness and resignation

Second report on the development of agriculture and land settlements in Newfoundland. 1939
No full textThis report follows Hanley's second trip to Newfoundland at the request of the Commission of Government to assess the state of agriculture, an industry overlooked and underdeveloped on the island. On his first trip, Hanley was only able to report on areas east of Grand Falls; this time he was able to assess the entire island. The author noted that many of the recommendations he made in his first report had been implemented, but there was much more that could be done. This second report again describes issues facing farmers in Newfoundland, and potential solutions to those problems. The report concludes with text of a speech Hanley made over the radio to Newfoundlanders explaining how the difficulties with providing food and clothing (and their associated costs) could be greatly reduced by decreasing imports of both through increasing agricultural activities
Bilateral and unilateral arm training improve motor function through differing neuroplastic mechanisms: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial
No full textBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
This randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing (BATRAC) versus dose-matched therapeutic exercises (DMTEs) on upper-extremity (UE) function in stroke survivors and uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine effects on cortical reorganization.
METHODS:
A total of 111 adults with chronic UE paresis were randomized to 6 weeks (3×/week) of BATRAC or DMTE. Primary end points of UE assessments of Fugl-Meyer UE Test (FM) and modified Wolf Motor Function Test Time (WT) were performed 6 weeks prior to and at baseline, after training, and 4 months later. Pretraining and posttraining, fMRI for UE movement was evaluated in 17 BATRAC and 21 DMTE participants.
RESULTS:
The improvements in UE function (BATRAC: FM Δ = 1.1 + 0.5, P = .03; WT Δ = -2.6 + 0.8, P < .00; DMTE: FM Δ = 1.9 + 0.4, P < .00; WT Δ = -1.6 + 0.7; P = .04) were comparable between groups and retained after 4 months. Satisfaction was higher after BATRAC than DMTE (P = .003). BATRAC led to significantly higher increase in activation in ipsilesional precentral, anterior cingulate and postcentral gyri, and supplementary motor area and contralesional superior frontal gyrus (P < .05). Activation change in the latter was correlated with improvement in the WMFT (P = .01).
CONCLUSIONS:
BATRAC is not superior to DMTE, but both rehabilitation programs durably improve motor function for individuals with chronic UE hemiparesis and with varied deficit severity. Adaptations in brain activation are greater after BATRAC than DMTE, suggesting that given similar benefits to motor function, these therapies operate through different mechanisms
