David Martyn Lloyd-Jones 1899-1981 and twentieth-century evangelicalism.
No full textThe purpose of this thesis was to demonstrate the significance of the life and ministry of David Martyn Lloyd-Jones in post-war British evangelicalism and to show that, so far as Protestant churches in England and Wales were concerned, no history of the period can afford to ignore him. It is our contention that despite differences of opinion and self- marginalization Lloyd-Jones was and has remained a major force in evangelical thinking. In order to understand how this developed the thesis has been structured along thematic lines highlighting events, persons and questions. The study begins by setting the stage with a biographical chapter and goes on to examine the kind of impact that Lloyd-Jones's preaching had on Christians of all denominations. He believed preaching to be the greatest need of the day and the position of this thesis is that preaching was Lloyd-Jones's greatest contribution to twentieth- century Christianity. As a preacher he attracted one of London's largest congregations and in chapter three we look at the history and nature of Westminster Chapel comparing it with neighbouring ministries, and establishing the kind of people who went to hear him. Chapters four and five ascertain the factors which shaped Lloyd-Jones's views on the church and show how his Reformed evangelicalism led in a separatist as opposed to an ecumenical direction and finally, to a position which was neither Congregational nor Presbyterian. Our further argument is that while he favoured unity among believers his separatist ecclesiology only exacerbated the situation and left evangelicals more divided than before. Chapters six to eight evaluate Lloyd-Jones's background, the nature of his leadership and the extent of his influence - factors which either shaped or were the outcome of his ministry - and looks at the issues which these questions raise
Lives and limbs : re-membering Robert Jones : a biography
No full textThis is a biography of Robert Jones, 1857-1933. He was a surgeon, and is credited
with bringing orthopaedics from its quack past into its scientific present. This work
explores Jones’ life and times, and examines whether he is entitled to the epithet
‘father of orthopaedics’.
It looks at the history of bonesetting, the influences on Jones’ development
and medical training, and some key moments in his career – notably his involvement
in the building of the Manchester Ship Canal, the planning of Heswall Children’s
Hospital, and the Great War. It argues that although there are other medical men
who could have been credited with fathering orthopaedics, he is indeed the father –
at least of orthopaedics in Britain, if not internationally.
This version of Jones’ life begins with something of his biographer’s journey,
before it explores what and who influenced Jones, and in turn what his legacy has
been to the medical profession.
The accompanying Critical Commentary explores whether or not it is possible
to offer a definition of biography as a genre in the light of its history and purpose. It
examines critical views, considers the mythology that grows up around historical
figures, and also explains the rationale for the structure chosen for organising the
material presented in this new biography of Robert Jones, Live and Limbs: Re-membering Robert Jones
A quest for innocence : the music of Frederick Delius 1885-1900.
No full textIn this study a close examination of all the music of Delius's first fifteen years of creative work is undertaken for the first time. The author's aim has been to assess the intrinsic qualities of Deliusts compositions in this period while tracing through the works the stages by which his mature style emerged. Much of the music examined is unpublished. The findings of this research add to the existing body of literature on the development of Delius's style in three principal ways: (1). It is shown that even in his earliest works) the composer drew upon personal experiences which had made strong impressions on him as the primary source of his inspiration. Negro folk music heard in Florida, played a very significant role in his development. His impressions of mountain nature and sunsets are also important. (2). The influence of other composers is assessed. Although it is known that ChopinjWagner and Grieg contributed to Delius's technique and style (he freely acknowledged his debt to them), the extent and importance of this influence in releasing and guiding his musical imagination is examined here for the first time. The less well known influence of Richard Strauss is also considered significant. (3). A large proportion of Delius's music in the 1890s was connected with the twin concepts of longing and innocence* It is with his merging of the two concepts into one around the turn of the century that the period of his finest work commences

Reovirus-induced tenosynovitis in chickens: the effect of breed
No full textThe effect of breed of chicken on infection with an arthrotropic avian reovirus (strain R2) was studied by oral or footpad inoculation of day-old chicks of the SPF light-hybrid, commercial White Leghorn egg-layer, and commercial Ross I broiler breeds, observed to 12 weeks of age. Although most inoculated birds of all three breeds developed swelling of one or both legs below the hock joint at 3 to 4 weeks of age, gross lesions of tenosynovitis became progressively more severe and extended above the joints only in broilers, whereas in most orally-infected SPF and commercial light chickens gross lesions were intermittently severe and regressed with time. Cloacal virus shedding continued up to 2 weeks in the lighter breeds and 3 weeks after infection in broilers. From a small proportion of infected chickens, reovirus was also recovered from heart, pancreas and caecal tonsils. In all breeds, the tissue in which virus persisted longest was the hock joint/tendon. There was a poor correlation between isolation of virus and the presence of gross lesions in chickens of 12 weeks of age, especially in broilers. Virus-neutralization tests demonstrated that seroconversion in the lighter breeds occurred mainly at 3 weeks, and in broilers at 4 weeks after infection. In all three breeds the footpad infection resulted in poorer growth than in the control and oral-infection groups. Oral infection had no apparent effect on growth rate. The greater susceptibility of broilers to reovirus infection is discussed..RE: 30 ref.; SC: ZA; CA; VE; 0V; 7A; 0ISource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0307-9457&isbn=&volume=13&issue=3&spage=511&pages=511-528&date=1984&title=Avian%20Pathology&atitle=Reovirus-induced%20tenosynovitis%20in%20chickens%3a%20the%20effect%20of%20breed.&aulast=Jones&pid=%3Cauthor%3EJones%2c%20R%20C%3bKibenge%2c%20F%20S%20B%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19842247265%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3

Guppy: Process-Oriented Programming on Embedded Devices
No full textGuppy is a new and experimental process-oriented programming language, taking much inspiration (and some code-base) from the existing occam-pi language. This paper reports on a variety of aspects related to this, specifically language, compiler and run-time system development, enabling Guppy programs to run on desktop and embedded systems. A native code-generation approach is taken, using C as the intermediate language, and with stack-space requirements determined at compile-time
