James Loxton missionary to Raiatea
No full textJames Loxton left his blacksmith profession to undertake formal study at Highbury College, London to become a missionary of the London Missionary Society (LMS) and subsequently sent to Raiatea, South Sea Islands (now part of French Polynesia). He was clearly highly regarded and readily made friendships. He died within a few months of arriving in Raiatea.

A fractional model of the friction-temperature behavior in robot joints
No full textIt is well-known that friction changes with the temperature in robotic joints, and the temperature depends on the action being performed. In this paper we present a fractional model that describes the relationship between power generation/loss and temperature in the joints of industrial robots. The proposed mathematical model is used to predict friction variation during the robot working cycle without using temperature sensors. Several experimental tests have been performed on a commercial 6 degree-of-freedom anthropomorphic manipulator. Results confirm that the proposed model is able to estimate the behavior of the friction in the joints during robot working cycles. This can be used to compensate for friction, thus improving the control performance, and to predict energy consumption
Comparative morphological study of the pituitary gland by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
No full textCITATION: Loxton, A. J. 1988. Comparative morphological study of the pituitary gland by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. South African Medical Journal, 74:406-407.The original publication is available at http://www.samj.org.zaA prospective study was undertaken to compare the morphology of the pituitary gland by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 27 consecutive patients. CT is an accepted imaging modality but this study suggested that MRI has certain advantages. MRI is proposed as the imaging modality of choice for lesions of the pituitary gland.Publisher’s versio
Joseph Loxton Rawbon, the "Master Restorer"
No full textJoseph Loxton Rawbon arrived in Canada during the intense commercial and industrial growth of the Victorian era. A colourful character with bombastic flair, his numerous enterprises, however limited in their success, exemplify the boundless optimism of the Industrial Age and open a small window onto the history of Toronto's early cultural development through to the Second World War. Remarkably, Rawbon believed that, like his artist's stretchers and other inventions, the restoration of paintings held a key to the making of a fortune.Joseph Loxton Rawbon est arrivé au Canada au cours de la croissance intense du commerce et de l'industrie à l'époque victorienne. Rawbon était un personnage haut en couleur qui possédait une touche grandiloquente. Ses nombreuses entreprises, qui cependant ont été limitées dans leur succès, illustrent l'optimisme sans bornes de l'ère industrielle et ouvrent une petite fenêtre sur l'histoire du développement culturel du début de l'histoire de Toronto jusqu'á la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est remarquable que Rawbon croyait que, comme ses châssis et autres inventions, la restauration des peintures servait de clé pour permettre la réalisation d'une fortune
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
