    John Gary Anderson Biography - Accession 1365 - M681 (736)

    No full text
    This collection consists of a photocopy of a thesis titled, The Struggle to Succeed, John Gary Anderson and the Problems of a New South Industrialist by Craig S. Pascoe which was submitted to the faculty of the University of north Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in Charlotte, NC in 1992. This thesis details the history of the Rock Hill Buggy Company and the Anderson Motor Company, as well as a biography of founder, John Gary Anderson (1861-1937) of Rock Hill, SC. The abstract written by the author, Craig S. Pascoe, states his thesis: “Examines the efforts of John Gary Anderson to develop alternative forms of manufacturing in the South. Describes how Anderson built a successful buggy factory and how he converted his operations to manufacturing automobiles in 1916. Explores his efforts to change people’s perception of the South as a backward region. Concludes that the success of manufacturing in the South was hampered by negative attitudes of both Northern and Southern concerns.”https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/2188/thumbnail.jp

    Gas volume fraction and velocity profiles: vertical and inclined bubbly air-water flows

    No full text
    Upward inclined gas-liquid flows are frequently encountered in the oil industry and data relating to the local gas volume fraction distribution and the local gas velocity distribution is important, for example, in pressure gradient prediction and in modeling oil well 'blowouts'. In this paper measurements are presented of the local gas volume fraction distribution and the local axial gas velocity distribution which were taken in bubbly air-water flows in an 80 mm diameter pipe which was inclined at angles of 0°, 15° and 30° to the vertical. Qualitative arguments are presented to explain the influence of the liquid superficial velocity on the local gas volume fraction distribution in inclined flow and also to explain the very high axial gas velocities observed towards the upper side of the inclined pipe

    Approaches to maintaining provenance throughout the additive manufacturing process

    The development of 3D printers has resulted in significant Intellectual Property Right issues. This work presents a model for signing printable 3D objects. The paper initially reviews the security principles of signing of objects in both digital or physical form, and the metrics for assessing signatures. 3D designs are not just a file, but actual physical objects and should be treated identically, to digital documents that have associated intellectual property rights and copyright protection. In this paper we propose a signing methodology intended to resolve issues with the adaptation of rapid prototyping and 3D printing by users both in engineering and the humanities. The proposed digital signing methodology is based on physical signing principles that follow archival principles to maintain accurate records. The new model allows the transition of provenance between digital and physical form

    Gary Owen’s Iphigenia in Splott: The Anthropocene as Tragedy

    Reprinted with permission from the author. Originally published in Critical Stages/ Scènes critiques (https://www.critical-stages.org Kerrigan, S. Gary Owen’s Iphigenia in Splott: The Anthropocene as Tragedy, 26. 2022.The fate of the tragic Greek figure Iphigenia is intrinsically connected to her environment in classical canonical source texts. Her death, depicted in Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis, is the result of human failings, and yet the natural world and the climate play an integral part. In 2015, Gary Owen transposed the narrative of this classical heroine to Cardiff, Wales, to consider the ruins of contemporary Britain in an increasingly hostile environment of austerity. Owen’s play is a scathing indictment of the overpopulated and under-resourced urban environment, but it is ultimately a catastrophic climate event that leads to the tragedy within this adaptation. Classical tragedy is a predominantly anthropocentric dramatic form. However, with reference to Owen’s Iphigenia in Splott and utilising emerging ecocriticism and discourse, I argue that there is potential for an ecologically sensitive, revisionist perspective in contemporary adaptations of classical tragedy. Building upon Carl Lavery’s and Clare Finburgh’s provocation that, “the Anthropocene is a term that invariably attests to humanity’s inability to impact upon and intervene in natural processes [and] it simultaneously highlights humanity’s failure to harness or control such interventions” (34), I consider what the real tragedy is within Owen’s play. Is the tragedy of his Iphigenia a tragedy of humanity’s failure to cohabit with the natural environment without causing harm or, perhaps more broadly, a tragedy that reflects the failure of a historic and dogmatic anthropocentric view in theatre and beyond
