Trans-urban Networks of Learning, Mega Events and Policy Tourism: The Case of Manchester's Commonwealth and Olympic Games Projects
No full textThis paper argues for a rethinking of our understanding of what and where go into the ‘urban’ in the New Urban Politics (NUP). It contends that these issues have always been more complex, complicated and, most importantly, contested than has sometimes appeared to be the case in the literature. Using the example of one trans-urban policy learning network—that around the city of Manchester’s bids for the Olympic and Commonwealth Games—the paper makes the case for taking seriously the politics around comparison and referencing in making possible the NUP. It argues that there is a need to study the circuits, networks and webs in and through which urban knowledge and learning are constituted and moved around, and that often underpin the territorial outcomes that have been the traditional focus of scholars working on the NUP
The educational research-practice interface revisited
No full textThe question of how the realms of research and practice might successfully relate to one another is a persisting one, and especially so in education. The article takes a fresh look at this issue by using the terminology of collaboration scripts to reflect upon various forms of this relationship. Under this perspective, several approaches towards bridging the research/ practice gap are being described with regard to the type and closeness of interaction between the two realms. As different focuses and blind spots become discernible, the issue is raised concerning which 'script' might be appropriate depending upon the starting conditions of research interacting with practice
Chemistry of some model compounds related to fluorinated polymers
No full textThe work described in this thesis is concerned with three areas which are the generation of stable carbocations from saturated model compounds related to poly- vinylidenefluoride, the development of synthetic routes to fluoro-organo-phosphazenes with intention of obtaining some potential additives for perfluoropolyether fluids operating at elevated temperatures, and pericyclic reactions involving fluorinated olefins.1. We reported that some remarkable conjugated cations, and di-cations (4a) are obtained by reaction of hydrofluorocarbon precursors (4) with an excess of antimony pentafluoride. Cations (4a) bear the fluorine atoms at the charged sites, which of course, leads to stabilisation of the systems We investigated the effect of both re-hybridisation and charge on (^13)C, (^19)F, (^1)H n.m.r. chemical shifts and we applied the empirical criterion of (^13)C chemical shifts additivity to these systems to confirm the structure of some carbo-mono-cations and.-di- cations.2. The mechanism of displacement reactions in halophosphazenes was rationalised by reacting the systems in study with selected nucleophiles in competition reactions. Some fluoro-organo-phosphazenes were synthesised using halophosphazenes as starting materials. Different methodologies were used and their effectiveness was limited by the reactivity of the halophosphazenes towards the fluoroalkylating agents. The methodologies used include nucleophilic displacement of the halogen with fluorinated alcohols (R(_F)CH(_2)OH), and perfluoroalkylating agents (eg.: CF(_3)SiMe(_3)); perfluoroalkylation of organo-phosphazene using hexafluoropropene under gamma ray irradiation. Potential stabilising agents for perfluoropolyether fluids were synthesised and their effectiveness was tested.3. Some pericyclic reactions of heptafluorobut-2-ene and hexafluorobut-2-ene with dienes have been studied in an attempt to synthesise a series of benzenoid and heteroaromatic compounds containing two trifluoromethyl groups in high yields
Hearing Faces and Seeing Voices: The Integration and Interaction of Face and Voice Processing
No full textCognitive understanding of voice recognition has borrowed much from the area of face processing, both in terms of the theoretical framework within which results are interpreted, and the methodology used to assess performance. A considerable body of research now exists to suggest that voice recognition may proceed in parallel with face recognition, and that the two pathways may combine to inform person recognition. However, rather than being independent or equivalent, these parallel pathways appear to interact to reveal interesting interference effects. The present paper reviews a series of studies that focus on a considerable and growing literature. The vulnerability of voice processing will be explored relative to face processing, and the interaction of these two pathways will be examined with reference to broader theoretical frameworks for person recognition
The safety and effectiveness of different methods of ear wax removal: a systematic review and economic evaluation
No full textEar wax (cerumen) is a natural secretion produced to protect the inner ear from dirt and other fragments by moving these particles towards the outer ear. If this process does not happen properly, wax may build up causing blockage in the ear canal and the possibility of impaction. People with a build up of ear wax may suffer from hearing loss, discomfort and, on occasions, infection. It may present problems in assessing hearing, blocking the view of the ear drum during medical examination and interfering with the fitting or function of hearing aids. Although it is thought to affect between 2% and 6% of the population in the England and Wales, some groups may be at a higher risk, such as those using hearing aids or with small ear canals and/or skin conditions. Recurrence is thought to be high among some of these groups. The consequences of the build up of ear wax in the ear canal are thought to be a common reason for consultation and cost in general practice with over 2 million consultations per year in the NHS.Methods of removal of ear wax include drops, flushing with water in general practice, and removal with suction or probes in specialist clinics. The relative safety and benefits of these different methods of removal remains uncertain. This research will systematically review published and unpublished evidence on the clinical and cost effectiveness of different methods for the removal of ear wax. Where appropriate, it will develop an economic model using data from this systematic review and other relevant sources to estimate the relative costs and benefits of different methods. In addition, the project will provide recommendations for future research to try to help answer any remaining areas of uncertainty
Logic-based Modelling of Musical Harmony for Automatic Characterisation and Classification
No full textThe copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the authorMusic like other online media is undergoing an information explosion. Massive online
music stores such as the iTunes Store1 or Amazon MP32, and their counterparts, the streaming
platforms, such as Spotify3, Rdio4 and Deezer5, offer more than 30 million6 pieces of music to
their customers, that is to say anybody with a smart phone. Indeed these ubiquitous devices
offer vast storage capacities and cloud-based apps that can cater any music request. As Paul
Lamere puts it7:
“we can now have a virtually endless supply of music in our pocket. The ‘bottomless iPod’
will have as big an effect on how we listen to music as the original iPod had back in 2001.
But with millions of songs to chose from, we will need help finding music that we want to
hear [...]. We will need new tools that help us manage our listening experience.”
Retrieval, organisation, recommendation, annotation and characterisation of musical data is
precisely what the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) community has been working on for
at least 15 years (Byrd and Crawford, 2002). It is clear from its historical roots in practical
fields such as Information Retrieval, Information Systems, Digital Resources and Digital
Libraries but also from the publications presented at the first International Symposium on Music
Information Retrieval in 2000 that MIR has been aiming to build tools to help people to navigate,
explore and make sense of music collections (Downie et al., 2009). That also includes analytical
tools to suppor
