Phase contrast imaging with a laboratory-based microfocus X-ray source
No full textThis project looks at the design of an in-line X-ray phase contrast imaging system, based around the Bede Microsource®, on a suitable scale for imaging small pathological samples. The system is applied to two test objects to assess feasibility of its use in practice. The system comprises: microfocus X-ray source, copper and rhodium targets, phase object and detector. By altering sample position, phase contrast is seen to vary proportionally with propagation distance. By increasing source size, phase contrast is seen to degrade with increasing source dimensions. It is furthermore determined that transverse coherence in the direction perpendicular to a sample boundary dominates the result. Using different operating voltages with an image manipulation approach, the importance of monochromaticity is investigated. It is determined that less polychromatic X-rays provide better phase contrast. However, applying a filter method of monochromation reduces phase contrast due to beam hardening, so this method is unsuitable for phase imaging with this system. By increasing sample thickness, phase contrast is seen to plateau at a certain thickness, dependant on X-ray energy, revealing a practical limitation of the system. Introduction of water and glass to the system is seen to be detrimental to phase contrast, due to beam hardening. However phase contrast is not destroyed by the presence of water. When imaging a mammographic test object comprising low-contrast details and breast tissue morphology, the system detects all low-contrast details extremely well. Furthermore, using a phase object together with breast tissue morphology, with the harder rhodium X-rays, the system detects an anomaly of -500J.!m through the noise of simulated breast tissue. Finally, we see the difference in two scorpion sting images: an absorption image taken at the beginning of the project and a phase image taken after the system has been improved

Interview with William Kelly
No full textWilliam Kelly graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1950 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in English and History and then earned a master\u2019s degree and PhD from Duke University in English with a concentration in American Literature. He came to MSU in 1962 to teach in the American Thought and Language Department. While on the campus, he served as director of the Honors College. Kelly left MSU in 1969 and went on to head foundations/associations of independent Alabama colleges in the 1980s and then in Georgia in the 1990s.

A training needs analysis of UK respiratory nurses’ research capability and capacity
No full textRespiratory nurses possess specialist skills that support the management and treatment of patients with complex diseases. They need to be skilled in evidencing, reporting, and promoting advances in clinical care to improve outcomes for patients. Requiring competence in research and quality improvement knowledge and skills. The aim of this study was to measure the current research capability and capacity of UK respiratory nurses.An online survey using the validated ‘Research Capacity and Culture Tool’ (RCC) (Holden et al. 2012) was distributed via professional respiratory networks in 2020.62 nurses participated in the study: 9.7% consultant nurses, 3.2% respiratory research nurses, 25.8% worked in primary care, 22.6% worked in the community, and 27.4% worked in a hospital setting. Generally, all nurses were confident in finding and reviewing literature. Nurses working in primary, community, and secondary care setting reported low research skills and confidence for each of the domains (e.g. writing a protocol, using quantitative/qualitative methods, applying for ethics,) at the individual and team level, although the community and secondary care nurses reported more skill at organisational level. Lack of confidence in gaining ethical approval and funding, no backfill, and conflicting work priorities were cited as barriers to research involvement, despite nurses expressing an interest. Consultant nurses and academics reported higher research skills and more confidence in study design and delivery.Our study showed low self-reported level of research skills in nurses in more junior/clinical roles. Improved education and organisational funding are required to enable nurse-led respiratory research
