Star Carr Archives Project
No full textThe main emphasis of this study has been the location of the material excavated by Clark, 1949-1951 because that constitutes the majority of the archive. However, an attempt has also been made to locate the archives generated by John Moore (1948 and 1951) and those generated by the Vale of Pickering Research Trust (1985 and 1989), published in Mellars and Dark (1998). At the start of this project, a group email was distributed to UK museums and archival institutions via the Society of Museum Archaeologists, which acts as a central node in curatorial networks. Additionally, a list of fifty-five small, local museums was contacted following web-based research. Museum visits proceeded over the autumn of 2011, spring of 2012 and autumn of 2012, conducted by Nicky Milner (The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge), Hayley Saul (The Natural History Museum, The Rotunda Museum Scarborough, Whitby Museum, The Yorkshire Museum), Ben Elliot and Pat Hadley (The British Museum). A spreadsheet was used for recording artefacts. Clark's original artefact recording system inspired the design of the spreadsheet, since most researchers will approach the Clark archive through acquaintance with the (1954) monograph
Star Carr Volume 2
No full text"Star Carr is one of the most important Mesolithic sites in Europe. It was discovered in the late 1940s by John Moore and then excavated by Grahame Clark from 1949-1951, becoming famous in the archaeological world for the wealth of rare organic remains uncovered including barbed antler points and antler headdresses. However, since the original excavations there has been much debate about how the site was used: was it a residential base camp, a hunting camp or even a ritual site? From 2003-2015, excavations directed by Conneller, Milner and Taylor aimed to answer these questions. This work has demonstrated that the site is much larger and more complex than ever imagined and was in use for around 800 years. The excavations show that Mesolithic groups were highly invested in this place: there is evidence for a number of structures on the dryland (the oldest evidence for ‘houses’ in Britain), three large wooden platforms along the edge of the lake, and the deposition of rare artefacts into the lake edge, including more antler headdresses and a unique, engraved shale pendant. People continued to occupy the site despite changes in climate over this period. The main results of our work are contained in two volumes: the first provides an interpretation of the site, and the second provides detail on specific areas of research.

Tissue engineered braided hybrid fiber scaffold for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
No full textThe knee joint is the largest and most complex joint in the human body. Its stability is largely dependent on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a dense fibrous connective tissue that attaches the femur to the tibia. Under high tensile and torsional forces the ACL will tear and does not heal without surgical intervention. This is due to the low blood supply and ligament retraction from the synovial tissue that envelops a tear. We explored the potential of a novel ACL reconstructive device composed of a hybrid poly(desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine dodecyl dodecanedioate)(12,10) [p(DTD DD)] and type I bovine collagen fiber scaffold as an alternative to current autograft and allografts techniques. The three phase process initially tested the fabrication and characterization of p(DTD DD) fibers and compared them to poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), a common biomaterial. Data suggested that p(DTD DD) fibers, with their higher strength, lower stiffness, favorable degradation products and comparable cell compatibility, may be a superior alternative to PLLA fibers for development of an ACL reconstructive device. The second phase tested electron beam (E-beam) sterilized hybrid scaffolds composed of parallel 75% p(DTD DD) and 25% collagen fibers. Hybrid scaffolds were implanted for up to 4 weeks in the ACL space of New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. At 4 weeks there was far more cell infiltration, vascular tissue and granuloma. Inflammatory cells were concentrated on the outer part of the scaffold, which is the natural repair reaction to surgery and not the implant. The third phase used a similar scaffold in a braided configuration, a larger sheep model and a longer 12 week time point. Analysis showed an increase in the amount of cellular infiltration and vascular tissue after 12 weeks. There was a decrease in the amount of eosinophils and no change in the number of multi nucleated giant cells after 12 weeks. Cellular infiltration was apparent at the center of the scaffold, which suggests that spacing between fibers is large enough to allow cells to migrate freely throughout the scaffold. Data suggests there is a definite potential in using a braided hybrid fiber scaffold composed of p(DTD DD) and Collagen as an ACL reconstructive device.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 102-113)by Nicky Tova
A Tear by Nicky Manuputty: a Review of Alto Saxophone Playing Techniques and the Meaning of the Work
No full textA TEAR is a work of Nicky Manupputty who is a Saxophonist. The uniqueness of this song is that Nicky Manuputty uses a distinctive and different tounging. He has his own characteristics in playing saxophone in this work, namely tounging techniques resembling 'del-del' and resembling 'ta-ya' tounging. Therefore, the author is interested in researching the work A TEAR. The author found the technique of combining 'del-del' and 'ta-ya' tounging. The technique is the "dah-ya" tounging technique. In the 'dah-ya' technique, the author finds a tounging sound that is almost the same as that used by Nicky Mannuputty. The method used is descriptive qualitative method, by collecting data through youtube (https://youtu.be/76KrrEAQUek ), observation, literature study, articles/journals and documentation. The meaning of A TEAR is an expression of sadness. The results of this study are: 1) Showing the work of A TEAR live. 2) Introducing the works of Indonesian composers. 3) Knowing the techniques used by Nicky in his work, and the meaning of the work A TEAR
