Letter from J. Kelly to Hagan
No full textTypescript letter signed J. Kelly, Bishop's Palace, Dunedin (New Zealand). He has written to Hagan five times in two years without a reply. He will discontinue the Roman notes because they are lacking since Hagan gave them up. Offering some very positive comments on the new Bishop of Dunedin – 'he is a man, and a sound Irishman too'; it was a blow to the anti-Irish colonial element. As to Irish affairs, it is important to be cautious with an Orangeman prime minister; the spirit of the people is unbroken. They have had good propaganda in the shape of a Labour M.P. talking on the 'Crucifixion of Ireland'. Sister de Sales is well. Enclosing a cheque for past contributions, and asking for new books, as well as Luther's Tischreden. Hoping to see him and Curran in Rome in a year or two
Detergency in Liquid CO2
No full textIn this dissertation we study Detergency in liquid Carbon Dioxide. Detergency is the cleaning performance of additives, surfactants in particular, in washing fluids. Liquid CO2 is under consideration, for environmental and toxicological reasons, to replace perchloro-ethylene as the solvent in textile dry cleaning technology. Inherent problems of such a transition were confronted with the methodology of chemical engineering design. The Basic Cycle of Design (BCD) approach was used as a pathway for designing a detergent. The BCD also establishes the structural framework of the thesis, which can, therefore, be read as records from a successful product engineering project, in which an effective detergent has been designed for a new dry cleaning solvent. The Dynamic Detergency Model (DDM), which succeeds to explain the role of surfactants in the washing operation, is used as a rational starting point for the design of a detergent in liquid CO2. According to this model, such a surfactant must be: sparingly soluble in the solvent, surface-active and able to form micelles in the solution. The different experiments carried out (solubility, interfacial-tension and dye solubilisation measurements), show that a number of molecules of the homologous polyoxyethylene/alkane series, generally described by the shorthand formula CiEj did indeed behave as surfactants and can be then considered detergents for liquid CO2. In the technical evaluation of the detergents, at laboratory as well as at semi-pilot scale, high washing performances were obtained. They are, indeed, as good for dry cleaning textiles as the present perchloro-ethylene (Perc) technology.Applied Science

The influence of steady blowing and roughness on transitional separated boundary layers
No full textThis paper presents the results of a study between two types of forcing, namely steady blowing and a tripwire, on the control of laminar separated boundary layers. The analysis focuses on the differences in the transition process between these two types of forcing. This effect will be studied using direct numerical simulation. The main differences consists in the coherent structures formed during transition and the overall kinetic energy growth

Skin-Friction Measurements on Mathematically Generated Roughness in a Turbulent Channel Flow
No full textEngineering systems are affected by surface roughness, however, predicting frictional drag has proven to be challenging. The present work takes a systematic approach by generating and manufacturing surfaces roughness where surface statistics, such as rms, skewness and power-spectral density can be controlled. The frictional drag on these surfaces is measured in a turbulent channel flow facility

Truth and Naturalism
No full textIn this chapter we address the issue of whether truth is a natural phenomenon. We take this to be an important question for both those working on truth and those working on natural- ism. For theorists of truth, answering the question of whether truth is natural will tell us more about the nature of truth (or lack of it), and the relations between truth and other properties of interest. To those who wish to have truth as part of the natural order, answering this question is of paramount importance. We will focus primarily on the kinds of theory of truth that occupy the central positions in current debates about truth, namely correspond- ence theories, deflationary theories, epistemic theories, and pluralist theories, and aim to discern the extent to which truth is a natural property on each view. We will close by making some brief remarks on how the possible normativity of truth bears on the question of whether truth is a natural property
Child health and wellbeing in the early years: the national evaluation of Sure Start
No full textBook synopsis: Evidence-based Public Health: Effectiveness and efficiency continues the themes raised in Public Health Evidence - tackling health inequalities. Written by the same author team, this book is a comprehensive reference to evidence-based approaches in public health. It covers the context and role of evidence-based public health in England; frameworks for evaluating the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of public health policies and interventions; diversity, vulnerability and risk as a focus for understanding the role of social context in influencing health-related behaviours; approaches and methods to generate and synthesize evidence of what works to improve health and tackle health inequalities; current best available evidence on the effectiveness of a diverse range of interventions; and the role of evidence-based guidance and standards in changing policy and practice.
This book will be essential reading for all those concerned with advancing an evidence-based approach to public health, and tackling health inequalities, including academics, researchers, policy makers, postgraduate students in public health, and anyone involved across different sectors of public health, including local government, health and education, Whilst based on work done in England by NICE, the book contains generic principles which are applicable internationally
