Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington, Irish Feminist
No full textFrom Syracuse\u27s Irish Studies series comes this excellent biography of an exceptional, determined woman. Sheehy-Skeffington (1877-1946) disavowed her church -- no light matter in the Ireland of her time-- was considered a leftist, waged unceasing battles for women\u27s rights and for peaceful political solutions to her country\u27s problems, and was assertive long before it was fashionable. Ideally matched with Francis Skeffington (who attached her name to his own when they were married), she was a major figure in the Irish scene during the first half of the 20th century. After the murder of Francis at the behest of a British officer, Hanna continued to serve the cause of freedom as editor, author and lecturer popular on the American circuit as well as at home. Levenson wrote With Wooden Sword, a biography of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington; Natterstad is a professor of English who writes on Irish subjects.https://digitalcommons.framingham.edu/books/1152/thumbnail.jp
Pleasure in the Gap: Kate Lilley's Cross-Pollinated Poetic and Academic Discourses
No full textKate Lilley's poetry is a chiasmus of academic and poetic discourse. This essay traces a number of enduring features of Lilley's verse: explicit references to writing and reading, a dissolved synthesis of form and content, and challenges to conventions of genre. These key features - characteristic of the American Language Writing tradition - position readers of Lilley's first anthology, 'Versary', in a number of (false) gaps. These are the fissures between the familiar and unfamiliar, the high and low brow, TV Week and a dictionary of rhetorical terminology
Experimental investigation of accelerator beam dynamics with a linear Paul trap
No full textThis thesis describes a range of experiments performed using a linear Paul trap to investigate the transverse beam dynamics of intense hadron accelerators. Due to the complexity of the dynamics in intense hadron accelerators, it is advantageous to use a scaled experiment to gain insight into these machines. A Paul trap is used to study accelerator dynamics, as the Hamiltonians of the two systems are equivalent.
The IBEX Paul trap at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire, has been commissioned. The first trapping of argon ions is observed, and the system is characterised, developing an understanding of the ion creation process, ion lifetime, longitudinal temperature, transverse emittance, and the process of ion extraction from the trap. A Faraday cup and MCP are used as diagnostics for the trap and are calibrated carefully to detect accurately the number of ions confined.
Both the IBEX and S-POD (Hiroshima University, Japan) linear Paul traps are used to study space-charge-driven resonances quantitatively for the first time. The particle-in-cell code Warp is used to gain a deeper understanding of the experiment and to assist with the interpretation of results. Values are extracted describing the location of the greatest ion loss in tune space for a given intensity for equal transverse tunes. These values are compared to values predicted both analytically and through simulation.
In the second half of this thesis, a design for a novel particle accelerator is considered, using the theory of Nonlinear Integrable Optics (NIO). In NIO, a highly nonlinear magnet is inserted into a linear lattice (known as a T-insert), resulting in regular and bounded particle motion. Detailed studies are undertaken to ascertain whether a simpler version of this theory, Quasi-Integrable nonlinear Optics (QIO), can be tested in a Paul trap.
A T-insert lattice is designed to meet the constraints of QIO, as well as the constraints imposed by the IBEX hardware. A number of these lattices are tested on the IBEX trap, confirming that enough ions are confined to study QIO in the presence of space-charge forces and that it is possible to create a T-insert with sufficient precision. To verify that the T-insert lattice created within the Paul trap meets the conditions for QIO, a method to measure the beta function in a Paul trap has been designed and tested.
Finally, a series of simulations are presented, showing that with a simple upgrade to the IBEX trap it is possible to create an octupole potential of high-enough quality to test QIO, while also retaining the ability to create a high-quality quadrupole to make the T-insert lattice. The impact of misalignment and scraping within the trap on the dynamic aperture and tune spread is studied using Warp. The resistance of the lattice to resonant excitation is investigated.
The experimental and simulation studies described show that QIO can be tested in a Paul trap, and pave the way for a range of studies of this exciting concept

Reading readings: How students learn to (dis) engage with critical reading
No full textOne of the central skills in learning to ‘turn knowledge into wisdom’ is critical reading: the ability to learn from text, to think analytically and critically and to develop an ethical and reasoned position as a result. However, it is often assumed that students will acquire the ability to read critically without active intervention from their teachers. This paper reports on a study of students’ acquisition of critical reading skills across the first three semesters of a Bachelor of Education course. We defined critical reading as engaging in dialogue with texts—both listening to the voices of the text and responding to them, and used Luke’s four reader resources as a framework: code-breaker, text user, text participant and text analyst. Our data revealed that certain scaffolding strategies fostered students’ disposition towards critical reading, for example: embedding the reading into the assessment, classroom discussion and lectures; careful selection of reading materials of different genres; focusing on metacognitive reading strategies; and linking the reading to the students’ personal identities as future teachers. However, when these supportive teaching practices were discontinued, students abandoned the critical reading practices which they had acquired. We argue, then, that critical literacy practices have to be developed on a longitudinal basis by integration across a course structure.<br/
Battered Women and Mandatory Minimum Sentences
No full textThe author argues for the repeal of mandatory minimum sentences based upon their role in the distortion of defences available to battered women on trial for the homicide of their violent mates. After reviewing other legal strategies aimed at eliminating the discriminatory biases facing women who attempt to plead self-defence, and illustrating the ways in which defences to murder are distorted, she turns to the examination of the transcript of a recent murder trial for a woman who argued self-defence. The author uses the transcript to provide concrete illustrations of three ways in which self-defence is distorted by the mandatory life sentence for murder. She considers prosecutorial guidelines as another possible legal strategy, but concludes that nothing short of repeal of the mandatory life sentence can redress the power imbalance between prosecutor and accused and provide battered women with an opportunity to proceed to trial and have their actions recognized as justified by way of self-defenc
