The sketchbooks of Nicholas Grimshaw
No full textSir Nicholas Grimshaw CBE PRA is one of Britain's most celebrated architects. His buildings, such as the Eden Project in Cornwall and the International Terminal at Waterloo Station are icons of elegant and inventive industrial design.
This book presents a selection of drawings from the sketchbooks that he has used throughout a 40 year career, revealing the importance of drawing in the development of his ideas.
Including concept sketches, detailed drawings, plans for sites and notes for presentations and speeches, the sketchbooks provide an insight into the working mind of a master architect. With illuminating essays, by Stephen Farthing and Peter Davey, exploring the key role that drawing plays in Grimshaw's own practice, this is an invaluable title for students, professionals and enthusiasts alike
Health outcomes of adults 3 months after injury
No full textBackground Injury is a leading cause of preventable mortality and morbidity in Australia and the world. Despite this there is little research examining the health related quality of life of adults following general trauma. Methods A prospective cohort design was used to study adults who presented to hospital following injury. Data regarding injury and demographic details was collected through the routine operation of the Queensland Trauma Registry (QTR). In addition, the short form 36 (SF-36) was mailed to patients approximately 3 months following injury. Results Participants included 339 injured patients who were hospitalised for ≥24 h in March–June 2003. A secondary group of 145 patients completed the SF-36, but did not have QTR data collected due to hospitalisation bein

(2) His directing experience in professional and regional theatre. (3) Interviews with many of his collaborators. (4) His directing methodology. (5) His philosophy, his future thoughts, and a summary by the author; An appendix includes 874 directing credits accumulated by Marlin-Jones from his college days to the present, spring of 1992; The research methods used were mostly primary consisting of taped interviews with Marlin-Jones, his many collaborators, and a few of his critics. The methodology chapter compares the directing methods of Marlin-Jones to other well-known directors; The endeavor of this thesis is to present an honest, thoroughly researched work on Davey Marlin-Jones, director, visionary, educator, and person, and in the process his contributions to the American theatre community will be revealed
Ophryotrocha shieldsi Paxton & Davey, 2010, sp. nov.
No full textOphryotrocha shieldsi, sp. nov. Figs. 1–3 Material examined. Type material: Liberty Point, Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, 42 º 18 ’17.21063”S; 145 º 19 ’14.60318”E, beneath sea cages, 20 m, SCUBA diving, February 2002, collectors A. Davey, J. Lane, D. Shields, holotype (AM W. 36644), 10 paratypes (AM W. 36645); same locality and collectors, 20 m, modified ROV, 4 February 2009, 20 paratypes (AM W. 36646). DNA voucher specimen: Same locality and collectors, 4 February 2009 (GNM Polychaeta 13224). Description. Live specimens up to 16 mm long for 46 chaetigers. Length of holotype 7.3 mm for 43 chaetigers (paratypes 2.5–6.0 mm for 29–36 chaetigers), width of holotype 0.9 mm including dorsal lateral lobes at chaetiger 10 (paratypes 0.3–0.7 mm). Live specimens with striking colour pattern of salmon pink pigmentation on peristomial rings and lateral segmental lobes, body otherwise whitish. Preserved specimens opaque white. Body long, slender, slightly tapering towards posterior end, dorsal side convex, ventral side slightly concave (Fig. 2 A, C). Prostomium (Figs. 2 B, 3 A) with ciliary ring in front of antennae, continuous across palpophores, additional incomplete band dorsally behind antennae and ventrally in front and behind ciliary ring (Figs. 2 C, 3 B); peristomial rings and chaetigerous segments encircled by ciliary rings, continuous across lateral dorsal and ventral lobes. Prostomium about twice as wide as long, bearing pair of dorsolateral cirriform antennae and pair of ventrolateral biarticulate palps. Palps consisting of large palpophore and small globular palpostyle. Pair of oval slanted eyes (Fig. 3 A) at centre of posterior edge of prostomium, posteriorly almost touching, anteriorly further apart. Eyes internal, light-reflecting structures, appearing silvery white in live animals under incident light but invisible in preserved specimens. Nuchal organs at level of eyes, two at either side of eyes. Peristomium represented by 2 apodous achaetous rings, similar in length to following chaetigers. Chaetigers with well developed parapodia and prominent dorsal and ventral lateral lobes. Dorsal lobes (Figs. 2 A, 3 A, C) ovate, cushion-like, ventral lobes (Figs. 2 C, 3 B) digitate to triangular; lobes present on all chaetigers but best developed in middle body region. Parapodia (Fig. 2 D, 3 D) uniramous, long and slender, distally dilating, bearing dorsal and ventral cirrus and acicular lobe; each structure digitate, about as long as median width of parapodium. Parapodia supported by acicula, terminating in acicular lobe and subacicular short simple chaeta or accessory acicula, emerging from ventral chaetal lobe; chaetal lobe in most cases completely retracted (Fig. 2 D, E) or expanded to triangular lobe (Fig. 3 D). Chaetae long and very thin (Fig. 2 E); supra-acicular fascicle with 5-8 simple spatulate chaetae (Fig. 3 E), subacicular fascicle with 5-7 heterogomph falcigers (Fig. 3 F); upper part of simple chaetae and appendage of falcigers minutely serrated, with blunt tip; shaft of falciger minutely serrated. Pygidium wider than long, with pair of digitate pygidial cirri; anus dorsal (Fig. 3 C). Mature males with rosette glands, paired dorsal segmental glandular structures on posterior half of body (Figs. 2 F, 3 C). Structures consisting of circular clusters of large cells with perforated integument (Fig. 2 G) (for discussion of rosette glands see Paxton & Åkesson 2007). Mandibles strongly sclerotised, black; consisting of two elongate shafts widening to distal cutting plates with slightly curved anterior edge with medial roundish protrusion and 13–16 conical teeth (Fig. 3 G). Maxillary apparatus of P- and K-type; maxillae consisting of forceps fused with carrier-like structure and 7 pairs of anterior denticles (D). P-type maxillae occurring in females and immature males, weakly sclerotised with serrated ridges slightly darker (Figs. 2 H, 3 H). P-forceps with two transverse ridges, each with about 30 alternating larger and smaller teeth and a large fang. Denticles 1–3 similar to ridges of forceps with alternating large and small teeth and fang, D 4–7 more delicate, with very finely serrated edge. K-type maxillae only in mature males, darkly sclerotised, almost black (Fig. 3 I). K-forceps smooth, distally falcate. Denticles attached by ligament strut to forceps; serration of denticles similar to P-type but with fewer teeth. Etymology. The new species is named in honour of Derek Shields, who originally observed the aggregations of the new species, and encouraged the second author to study these animals. Remarks. The new species is the fourth species of the O. lobifera group. Like O. lobifera it has cushionlike lateral lobes. However, in O. lobifera the dorsal lobes are triangular, while in O. shieldsi they are ovate. Other differences are: O. shieldsi has palps with small globular rather than longer digitate palpostyles, Pmaxillae with forceps and denticles serrated by alternating large and small teeth rather than uniform teeth, and mandibles with curved rather than straight anterior edge. Ophryotrocha lipovskyae and O. craigsmithi differ from both species by possessing lamella-like lateral dorsal lobes. Analysis of DNA sequences of the mitochondrial CO 1 and ribosomal 16 S genes has demonstrated that O. shieldsi is sufficiently genetically isolated from the other three species to warrant specific status (Helena Wiklund, personal communication 2009). Accession numbers for DNA sequences from O. shieldsi, published on GenBank: HM 181931 (CO 1), HM 181932 (16 S). Distribution. At present only within Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, directly underneath salmon cages.Published as part of Paxton, Hannelore & Davey, Adam, 2010, A new species of Ophryotrocha (Annelida: Dorvilleidae) associated with fish farming at Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, Australia, pp. 53-61 in Zootaxa 2509 on pages 55-56, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19602
