Woolley, Dilworth Wayne (1914-1966) was a Canadian-born American biochemist, who did important work on vitamin deficiency and was one of the first to study the role of serotonin in brain chemistry.
Woolley spent much of his career at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City. His major work focused on serotonin in brain chemistry: how substances such as LSD might affect the action of serotonin, how disorders of serotonin function might be responsible for mental disorders, and how serotonin might play a part in memory and learning. Though his career was shorter-lived than expected, subsequent work by others has developed many of Woolley\u27s hypotheses in productive directions. One of his assistants, Robert Bruce Merrifield, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1984, for work on peptide synthesis they did together in the 1950s. In 1940 and in 1948, Woolley received Eli Lilly Awards from the American Chemical Society, for his research. In 1952 he was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences. He served as president of the Institute of Nutrition in 1959. Woolley was an author on over 200 research papers and book articles in his thirty-year career. Books by Woolley included A Study of Antimetabolites (1952), and The Biochemical Bases of Psychoses (1962).

Wild oats group exhibition
No full textWild Oats brings together a group of artists who use food and the rituals of eating to comment on contemporary life, gender stereotypes and commodity culture. (curated by Dawn Woolley). Miina Hujala’s film Illallinen (The Dinner) explores the complex identification and idealization processes that take place during courtship. In the film the couple create an ideal, romantic occasion but they construct images of themselves that they believe the other wants to see – communicating a wish to be the object of the other’s desire. In Prise d’assault (Under Assault) Noemi McComber addresses issues of overconsumption, and the handling of waste while depicting unrestrained violence. The performance becomes a “…humiliating trial of judgment and soft stoning by way of food…[a] painful tar and feather-like ordeal, as if under siege by an angry mob of tots laying waste to an over-stocked kitchen.” Stephanie Bertrand (Author and Curator). Dawn Woolley’s photographs and sculptures reflect contemporary attitudes to consumerism and the commodification of human relationships through the consumption of food. The resulting still life’s comment on the gender distinctions upheld through commodity culture and the rituals of food consumption. Surreal Summer Fete is a performance by Ellen Sampson and Dawn Woolley in which they serve a variety of small edible sculptures to the (mostly unwilling) public during the exhibition opening. With shapes, and textures derived from ideas of romance, desire and gender norms, the objects will offer a surreal take on everyday finger foods. A food sculpture workshop took place within the exhibition as part of Diffusion International Photography Festival and Made in Roath Community Art Festival

No full textThere is a long history of debates and conflicting opinions in relation to the display of the female body. For example, many world religions require female worshippers to show modesty by covering their hair and body. In the late twentieth century academics in fields such as gender and media studies responded to the campaigns of second wave feminism, developing and debating ideas about the power relationships at play in looking, being seen and the representation of the female body. Contemporary discussions on this topic also consider female visibility through nudity to be a form of empowerment, and way of taking back control over the female body and its representations. However, this idea continues to be fiercely debated. In 1975, Laura Mulvey’s Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, a feminist interpretation of the representation of actresses and actors in Hollywood cinema, was published and continues to be taught widely in art schools. It raises issues of gendered looking and coined the phrase the ‘male gaze’. This influential text seems to be experiencing a resurgence of interest amongst a younger generation of female artists, partly because the ideas resonate with recent changes in technology. Thanks to smart phones with cameras and social networking sites we can self-author our images in selfies, leading to questions about what is being posed, performed, or presented, and for whom? This curator’s choice selection brings together artworks that consider different aspects of looking and self-display. The artworks play with the power relations between the looker and the looked at, disrupting the idea of the passive female object and active male subject. The participating artists are: Naomi Blakeborough, Dr Alison J. Carr, Megan McLatchie, Odjanna Dracock, Sarah Eyre and Dr Dawn Woolley. Curated by Joanna Craddock and Dr Dawn Woolley
A Microsimulation Model of Truck Speeds on Grades
No full textA microsimulation model of acceleration and speed for five vehicle classes on upgrades and downgrades is presented in this paper. Special emphasis is placed upon the interaction of b-double trucks with other vehicles in the traffic stream. A review of existing literature reveals several common findings in previous research, which are used as the basis of the model. The details of necessary calculations involved in the modeling process are shown along with the required background constants. A speed profile of b-doubles on upgrades up to ten per cent is shown. Finally a preliminary study of the effect of replacing semi-trailers with b-doubles in the traffic stream is presented. It is concluded that changing the ratio of b-doubles to semi-trailers under isolated gradient effects does not significantly alter the mean travel times of the entire traffic stream.J.C. Fry, J.E.
