Neutron scattering studies of momentum distributions in 3He - 4He mixtures / Alan James Perry
No full textPost-war British working-class fiction with special reference to the novels of John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, Stan Barstow, David Storey and Barry Hines
No full textThis study is about British working-class fiction in the post-war period.
It covers various authors such as Robert Tressell, George Orwell, Walter Greenwood, Lewis Grassic Gibbon and DH Lawrence from the early twentieth century; writers traditionally classified as 'Angry Young Men' like John Osborne, Arnold Wesker, Shelagh Delaney, John Wain and
Kingsley Amis; and working-class novelists like John Braine, Stan Barstow, David Storey, Alan Sillitoe and Barry Hines from the 1950s and 1960s.
Some of the main issues dealt with in the course of this study are language, form, community, self/identity/autobiography, sexuality and relationship with bourgeois art. The major argument centres on two questions: representation of working-class life, and the
relationship between working-class literary tradition and dominant ideologies.
We will be arguing that while working-class fiction succeeded in challenging and rupturing bourgeois literary tradition, on the level of language and linguistic medium of expression for example, it utterly failed to break away from dominant, bourgeois modes of literary production in relation to form, for instance.
Our argument is situated within Marxist approaches to literature, a political and aesthetic position from which we attempt an analysis and an evaluation of this working-class literary tradition. These critical approaches provide us also with the theoretical tool to define the political perspective of this tradition, and to judge whether it was confined to a descriptive mode of representation or
located in a radical, political outlook

An Analysis and Conductor’s Guide to James McCarthy’s "Codebreaker"
No full textSince the film The Imitation Game was released in 2014, the story of Alan Turing’s life including his contributions to science, and work during World War II have been made widely known to people around the world. James McCarthy’s choral-orchestral work for mixed choir, soprano solo, and orchestra, Codebreaker: The Story of Alan Turing, aims to create a living musical depiction of Alan Turing and explores his life beyond his accomplishments in science and technology. This document is a conductor’s guide to James McCarthy’s Codebreaker which includes a biography of Alan Turing, which is essential to understanding the work, an integrated analysis of the libretto and the score, using Herford’s bar analysis with discussions of text sources and how the texts relate to Turing’s life and develop McCarthy’s narrative, and rehearsal considerations for performance based on the author’s own experience from performing Codebreaker with insights from conductor David Temple and the composer. Today, as attempts to silence the queer community are still daily occurrences, engaging with historical figures such as Turing can only continue to elevate the queer experience. Performances of a work like Codebreaker create opportunities for queer representation through choral music.</p

Production Process Characterization (Engineering Statistics Handbook)
No full textCreated by Alan Heckert and James Filliben, this chapter of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Statistics handbook describes how to do a production process characterization study. It contains an introduction, discussion of the assumptions, information about data collection and analysis, and case studies. The author provides two different case studies and states that: "The accompanying case studies provide detailed examples of several process characterization studies." This is a nice introduction to theories of production process and then direct applications of these theories
Case Studies in Process Improvement (Engineering Statistics Handbook)
No full textCreated by James Filliben and Alan Heckert, this part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Statistics handbook contains case studies for the process improvement chapter, which deals with design of experiments. More specifically, these case studies consist of: the Eddy current probe sensitivity study and Sonoluminescent light intensity study. Besides an introduction to experimental design, the author states a secondary goal of "giv[ing] the reader an opportunity to run the analyzes in real-time using the Dataplot software package." This is a great lesson for applying statistical theory to actual practice
Measurement Process Characterization Case Studies (Engineering Statistics Handbook)
No full textCreated by Alan Heckert and James Filliben, this part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST Engineering Statistics handbook contains case studies for the measurement process chapter. More specifically, the case studies are: Gauge study of resistivity probes, check standard study for resistivity measurements, type A uncertainty analysis and type B uncertainty analysis and propagation of error. The initial goal is an introduction to measurement processes, but the author states a secondary goal as "giv[ing] the reader an opportunity to run the analyses in real-time using the software package, dataplot." This is a nice lesson containing studies based around applied statistics
Public worship and practical theology in the work of Benjamin Keach (1640-1704)
No full textThe late seventeenth century was a critical and fruitful period
for the Particular Baptists of England. Severely persecuted following
the Restoration, toleration in 1689 brought its own perils.
Particular Baptists were fortunate in having several strong leaders,
especially the London trio of Hanserd Knollys, William Kiffin, and
Benjamin Keach. Such a small and severely persecuted group as the
Baptists could afford little time for academic pursuits, thus of
necessity most of their theology was practical in nature.
Benjamin Keach (1640-1704) was the most outstanding practical
theologian among the English Particular Baptists of the late
seventeenth century. This dissertation is a study of Keach, in
particular his writings on public worship and practical theology.
Although Keach was a prolific author, he has been almost completely
neglected by scholars.
After a biographical sketch of Keach, this study considers his
writings on public worship and practical theology. In the area of
worship, Keach made two outstanding contributions: First, he was the
most vocal apologist for Baptist views on Baptism of his period.
Secondly, and more importantly, his hymn writing and defense of hymn
singing broke new ground, not just for Baptists, but for English
Protestantism, in general. In addition to his contributions in these
areas, he also dealt with the laying on of hands and the sabbath day
worship controversy.
Keach's contributions to practical theology fall into two main
groups: his writings that concern religious education and those that
deal with polity. In addition to these, Keach's vigorous advocacy of
a high Calvinist soteriology are also considered under the rubric of
practical theology. Keach's most important (although not his most
positive) contribution in this area were his soteriological writings.
Although well within the bounds of orthodoxy, some of the tendencies
in Keach's soteriology were taken up by the following generation of
Baptist leaders and developed into a stultifying hyper-Calvinism that
handicapped Baptist evangelism and missions.
In the conclusion, Keach's contributions to a theory of practical
theology are considered
