EXPLORATHON 2023 Bright Club: Daniel Ridley-Ellis
No full textDaniel Ridley-Ellis is head of the Centre Wood Science and Technology at Edinburgh Napier University. He is one of the UK’s technical experts on guessing the strength of wood and can talk for hours on the topic – which he frequently does if nobody stops him. His main area of research is understanding the properties of wood, and how they are influenced by tree growth, forest management, and climate. He represents the UK at European Standards Committees for grading of construction timber, and the majority of structural sawn timber produced in the UK is now graded with settings he developed. He was named “woodland hero” for 2016 by Grown in Britain, and is also active in online learning, public engagement and science communication. He was the lead organiser of Bright Club Edinburgh from 2011 to 2023.What is Bright Club?Bright Club is the platform that transforms researchers into stand-up comedians and has been doing this for 10 years across the UK – it’s about having fun and audience participation! This event was recorded in Sandy's Bar, University of St Andrews Student Union on 29 October 2023 as part of EXPLORATHON, Scotland's contribution to European Researchers' Night. In 2022-23, EXPLORATHON was supported by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council [grant number EP/X020894/1].Author contributions to contentDaniel Ridley-Ellis conceived, planned, and presented the content recorded in the video. Kirsty Ross organised the event and recorded the raw footage of the performance, which Daniel Ridley-Ellis then edited into a YouTube-appropriate format.</p

Culture après le déluge: heritage ecology after disaster
No full textThis PhD dissertation examines the relationships between cultural heritage and the environment, focusing specifically on the devastation and rebuilding of New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Departing from conventional approaches to the natural world (such as documentation- and conservation-based approaches), this thesis adopts a developmental-systems based approach to cultural heritage in order to construct a new way of interpreting it, within the specific context of natural disaster. This new approach, termed ‘heritage ecology’, reinterprets cultural heritage in two ways: first, as a physical assemblage of sites, materials, traditions, beliefs, and practices that are constructed in significant ways by their natural environments; and second, as a metaphorical ecosystem which impacts back on the assessment and construction of that natural environment in turn.
In order to construct this approach, the thesis poses three interrelated questions: how is cultural heritage transformed as a result of disaster, how do societies rebuild their heritage after disaster, and how does heritage contribute to the rebuilding process? Examining a rebuilding process in real-time provides a unique window on these processes; events and developments in New Orleans taken from the first four years of recovery (2005-2009) suggest that prior understandings of how societies rebuild themselves after disaster have neglected crucial aspects of cultural heritage that are integral to that process. The examination of data from the case study -- data of diverse forms, such as historiography, the culinary arts, music, the built environment, and memorial sites and landscapes -- reveals the limitations of traditional approaches to heritage and prompts a reassessment of a range of issues central to heritage research, issues such as materiality, authenticity, and commodification. This study moreover incorporates into heritage research concepts previously unconsidered, such as infrastructure and policy. In the coming century of global climate change and increased environmental hazards, this last theme will become increasingly central to heritage policy and research; the dissertation concludes accordingly, with a reflection on contingency and future disaster

Lloyd (Sandy) H. Ellis Jr. Interview, 2011
No full textThis is an interview with author Lloyd (Sandy) H. Ellis Jr. about his book Sacred Landmarks and his forthcoming book which extends the first work beyond the city limits. In the first part of the interview there is discussion about the first book and how his new book will extend beyond the city limits to look at other sacred landmarks around the city. The next part of the interview Ellis notes the problems with getting access to some institutions and differences between religious groups and the clergy. Throughout the interview unique aspects of these landmarks are noted as well as religious differences. The later part of the interview Ellis notes how the churches have evolved and how parishioners have given insight to these landmarks. At the end of the interview discussion concludes with how the builders deserve credit along with the designers in construction of these landmarks. Ellis also points out how many founding pastors provided the initiative, fund raising, and drive for the construction of these institutions

Expanding the transmission window of visible-MWIR chalcogenide glasses by silicon nitride doping
No full textGallium Lanthanum sulphur-oxide (GLSO) glass is an excellent candidate for a window/dome material ought to its wideband transmission window from visible to MWIR. The suitable optical transmission from 0.45-8 microns is supplemented by its superior thermal and mechanical properties to contemporary materials, such as Cleartran™ zinc sulphide. In this work, the properties of GLSO were enhanced by doping with small concentrations of silicon nitride (≤ 0.5 M%), which expanded the transmission window to encompass all the visible spectra. Nano-indentation demonstrated that the hardness and elastic modulus slightly improved. Overall, the improvements demonstrated here make this glass an even better solution when compared to the state-of-the-art for use in single-optic windows and domes
