The magnetic field of the Radcliffe wave: Starlight polarization at the nearest approach to the Sun
No full textAims. We investigate the geometry of the magnetic field toward the Radcliffe wave, a coherent part of the nearby Local Arm of 3 kpc in length recently discovered via three-dimensional dust mapping.
Methods. We used archival stellar polarization in the optical and new measurements in the near-infrared to trace the magnetic field as projected on the plane of the sky. Our new observations cover the portion of the structure that is closest to the Sun, between Galactic longitudes of 122° and 188°.
Results. The polarization angles of stars immediately behind the Radcliffe wave appear to be aligned with the structure as projected on the plane of the sky. The observed magnetic field configuration is inclined with respect to the Galactic disk at an angle of 18°. This departure from a geometry parallel to the plane of the Galaxy is contrary to previous constraints from more distant stars and polarized dust emission. We confirm that the polarization angle of stars at larger distances shows a mean orientation parallel to the Galactic disk.
Conclusions. We discuss the implications of the observed morphology of the magnetic field for models of the large-scale Galactic magnetic field, as well as formation scenarios for the Radcliffe wave itself
The making of Gertrude Stein: reading, writing, and Radcliffe
No full textThis dissertation proposes three interwoven arguments concerning Gertrude Stein’s undergraduate education at Radcliffe College in the late 19th century. First, that Stein’s Sophomore writing course in 1894-1895 – English 22, Daily Themes – played a larger role
in the course of her writing life than has been understood in the fields of Modernism and
American literature. Second, that the first women of Radcliffe College, and before Radcliffe’s founding, of the Harvard Annex, were more integral to late 19th century growth in English and Composition at Harvard College than has been understood in the fields of
Rhetoric and Composition. Finally, that we cannot understand the expansion of Harvard College to Harvard University, the implementation of the elective system, or the founding of Radcliffe without integrating the various roles of Special Students – of which Gertrude Stein was one – in the broadening mission of the Cambridge institution. Following these threads, and focusing on Stein as an emblematic – though
idiosyncratic – student, I provide a history of Harvard-Radcliffe during the 1870s-1890s, a period of unprecedented change, the decades before and during Stein’s attendance from 1893-1898. I examine the role of female students in the origins of English Composition, a history which has previously focused heavily on male education as it emanated from Harvard and reverberated throughout higher education into the 20th century. I focus on Stein as a student of the pedagogy of Daily Themes practiced by Barrett Wendell. In providing these institutional, historical, and pedagogical contexts, I aim to connect Stein,
the student writer, to the adult innovator, to form a trajectory from her English 22 course into her adult writing life. My goal is for us to understand “The Making of Gertrude Stein” as a consequence, in part, of her reading and writing at Radcliffe. This is an educational
history of one of America’s great modernist writers embedded in the institutional history of her alma mater.
In order to help further research on Gertrude Stein’s undergraduate writing, my dissertation includes in its appendices the digitized images of Stein’s Daily Themes for English 22 at Radcliffe and my annotated transcription of the Themes including professorial comments.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaIncludes bibliographical referencesby Michelle J.

Attitudes and beliefs of rural health and welfare professionals about sexual assault / Margaret J. Radcliffe
Full text link"The study aims to document the attitudes and beliefs of a group of rural health and welfare professionals in the Central Highlands region of Victoria, to identify if theoretical frameworks of participants for the explanation of sexual assault reflect community attitudes based on traditional mythologies and misconceptions. The study also aims to highlight where specific training about sexual assault is required, based on needs of participants, and to recommend components for a future training program."Master of Art

Intra-parenchymal thyroid epidermal cyst presenting with a left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy
No full textWe present a rare case of an intra-parenchymal thyroid epidermal cyst presenting with a left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. There was a complete recovery of the nerve function following surgical excision of the lesion. Theories of aetio-pathogenesis of the cyst and underlying mechanisms responsible for the nerve paralysis are explored.</p
