    Henry Rand Hatfield (1866-1945) was one of the early leaders of accounting education in American universities and perhaps the earliest individual most well known for his efforts in accounting history. The tribute includes a translation of Zwei Pfadfinder, an article assessing its relevance, and a recollection by hatfield\u27s son, John

    Observations on the circumstances producing ignition in charcoal in atmospheric temperatures

    No full text
    This article, written by Mr William Hatfield, abridged from the London and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine for July 1833, details observations and experiments concerning the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion in charcoal at atmospheric temperatures. The author highlights the serious safety and property risks posed by this occurrence, particularly in settings such as gunpowder factories where large quantities of charcoal are used. Hatfield notes that spontaneous combustion is most common when large quantities of charcoal, especially in a state of minute division (pulverised or small fragments), are gathered in heaps. While manufacturers often attribute this phenomenon to insufficient cooling after production, the author provides anecdotal evidence of ignition occurring in charcoal that had been made and freely exposed to the atmosphere for several days. Two specific accidental cases are described: one where a large, compressed load ignited during transport, and another where a large heap of pulverised, multi-day-old charcoal ignited in a storage building, leading to a fire. The author hypothesises that in transport/storage incidents, the pressure and friction from pieces rubbing together cause pulverisation, creating a compact mass at the bottom, which is prone to self-heating. Hatfield describes a series of direct experiments (Exp. 1-4) to investigate the cause: Experiments 1-3 used small quantities (120 lbs) of charcoal (old, fresh, and coarse powder) in a barrel. These trials showed a temporary temperature increase (up to 130∘F) followed by a decline to ambient temperature, confirming that small quantities do not spontaneously combust. Experiment 4 used a larger quantity (10 cwt or 1,000 lbs) of finely ground, new charcoal in a hogshead. The internal temperature steadily rose from 65∘F to 180∘ or 190∘F, at which point combustion occurred internally, surprisingly near the surface. A final observation details a large heap of small charcoal igniting in several places over three to seven days, even after being soaked with water, reinforcing the persistent danger. The article concludes that the degree of pulverisation and the sheer quantity/volume of the charcoal are key factors in producing ignition.

    No full text
    Co-author: Thomas M. Featherston, Jr.In this document, Michael Hatfield, a Professor of Law at the Texas Tech University School of Law, and Thomas M. Featherston, Jr., a Mills Cox Professor of Law at Baylor Law School, provide sample answers to practice questions regarding wills, trusts, and estates. The professors cover fourteen topics: professional responsibility, intestacy, testamentary capacity and contests, wills, testamentary gifts, non-probate transfers and planning, estate administration, express trusts, future interests, the rule against perpetuities, powers of appointment, charitable trusts, trust administration, and federal transfer taxation. In the first section, the professors provide multiple choice and shorts answer questions about each individual topic; a practice final exam is also included. In the next section, the professors provide their answers to the individual sections and to the practice final exam

    Pharmacokinetics and toxic effects of lithium chloride after intravenous administration in conscious horses

    Twenty 3-mmol boluses of LiCl (0.15 mmol/l) were injected IV into healthy Standardbred horses (n=6) at 3-min intervals (60 mmol/horse total dose) during a 1-h period. Blood samples for measurement of serum lithium concentrations were collected before injection and up to 24 h after injection. Behavioural and systemic toxic effects of LiCl were assessed. Lithium elimination could best be described by a 3-compartment model for 5 of the 6 horses. Mean peak serum concentration was 0.561 mmol/l (range of 0.529-0.613 mmol/l), with an actual measured mean serum value of 0.575 mmol/l (range of 0.52-0.67 mmol/l) at 2.5 min after administration of the last bolus. Half life was 43.5 h (range of 32-84 h), and after 24 h, mean serum lithium concentration was 0.13+or-0.05 mmol/l (range of 0.07-0.21 mmol/l). The 60-mmol dose of LiCl did not produce significant differences in any measured haematologic or biochemical variables, gastrointestinal motility, or ECG variables evaluated during the study period. Distribution of lithium best fits a 3-compartment model, and clearance of the electrolyte was slow. Healthy horses remained unaffected by LiCl at doses that exceeded those required for determination of cardiac output. Peak serum concentrations were less than steadystate serum concentrations that reportedly cause toxic effects in other species..RE: 27 ref.; RN: 7447-41-8; SC: 0I; 0V; ZA; VE; CASource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0002-9645&isbn=&volume=62&issue=9&spage=1387&pages=1387-1392&date=2001&title=American%20Journal%20of%20Veterinary%20Research&atitle=Pharmacokinetics%20and%20toxic%20effects%20of%20lithium%20chloride%20after%20intravenous%20administration%20in%20conscious%20horses.&aulast=Hatfield&pid=%3Cauthor%3EHatfield%2c%20C%20L%3bMcDonell%2c%20W%20N%3bLemke%2c%20K%20A%3bBlack%2c%20W%20D%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E20013139438%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3

    The development of self-criticism and the effects of self-compassion and mindfulness on the well-being of mothers

    No full text
    This research thesis main focus was examining parental factors in the development of self-criticism in young people and role of mindfulness, self-compassion and compassion to others, play in the psychological well-being of mothers. Chapter one is a literature review of twelve empirical studies exploring the role of parental factors in the development of self-criticism in young people. The findings from this review show an association between parental self-critical personality style and parenting behaviours, which in turn are associated with levels of self-criticism in their offspring. This review highlights the potential importance of parent and carer interventions aimed at modifying the parents’ and children’s self-critical behaviours and attitudes. The literature review has been prepared for submission to the Clinical Psychology Review (see Appendix A,‘Guide for Authors’). Chapter two is a quantitative, empirical study. The study explored maternal levels of mindfulness, self-compassion, and compassion to others; and their association with psychological well-being and parental stress. Mothers were invited to participate via the internet and completed questionnaires on-line. Higher levels self-compassion and mindfulness were found to predict maternal psychological well-being and lower levels of maternal stress. Clinical implications and areas for future research are discussed alongside methodological limitations. The empirical study has been prepared for submission to Self and Identity (see Appendix A, ‘Guide for Authors’). Chapter three is a reflective account of the research thesis as a whole. The paper’s focus is on the importance of reflection, self-compassion and mindfulness on personal and professional development. Methodological issues arising from conducting quantitative research are discussed. This paper has not been prepared for publication
