Anatomy of a volcano
No full textThe Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull caused major disruption in European airspace last year. According to his co-author, Freysteinn Sigmundsson, the reconstruction published in Nature six months later by aerospace engineering researcher, Dr Andy Hooper, opens up a new direction in volcanology. “We want to see how the magma moves inside the volcano

Dimmesdale and Hooper: Copy and Paste or Unique Characters?
No full textNathanial Hawthorne, the author of The Scarlet Letter and The Minister\u27s Black Veil, is known for his dynamic characters and complex symbols. Arthur Dimmesdale, with his self-inflicted scarlet letter, and Pastor Hooper, with his black veil, are two of Hawthorne\u27s more well-known characters; Hooper is often thought to be a rough draft of what would become Dimmesdale. But are they really that similar? Although Dimmesdale and Hooper have significant similarities in their confusion of the doctrine of Christianity, their strong connection to symbol, their isolation from their own community, and their role as pastor over a congregation, the implementation of these elements in the two texts and the approaches of the two men are quite different
The Contextual Influences on the Initiation of Occupational Therapy Education Programs in Countries Where Few or No Other Programs Exist
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
Initiating curricula in five countries with few resources was influenced by the interaction of local context, key events, and stakeholders’ conceptions of occupational therapy and education. These findings support development of effective and locally situated occupational therapy programs.

Development of a novel test rig for the evaluation of aircraft fuel tank sealants
No full textLeaks from aircraft fuel tanks have always represented a problem for aircraft manufacturers, airline operators and maintenance crews. The integral fuel tanks within aircraft structures are typically located within the wings and they rely upon sealant materials to prevent leakage past joints and fasteners. However, the wing is designed as a structural member first and as a fuel tank second and there exist many potential leak paths for the fuel from these complex, highly loaded structures. Fuel leaks result in direct loss of fuel which may be dangerous, cause a loss in revenue due to aircraft being withdrawn from service and be difficult and expensive to repair. On top of this there are important health and safety issues involved in the repair of fuel tanks, for example, the Royal Australian Air Force's, F-lll Deseal Reseal Programme 1979 to 2000, where it was found that a significant number of RAAF personnel involved in the Deseal Reseal Programme were suffering from a variety of health problems.
Current approaches to fuel tank sealant evaluation embrace immersion in a range of different fluids at different temperatures, of both bulk sealant samples and sealed joints. However, nearly all such tests are of a "static" nature and yet it is acknowledged that joint movement leads to leaks. Thus the missing component of testing is movement coupled with the other key variables. The aircraft industry has been searching for a relatively simple test method that can be used to evaluate sealed joint systems using realistic combinations of materials, joint geometries, imposed stresses and environmental conditions. The aim of this project was to do exactly this.
A practical but realistic dynamic test, the Model Sealed System (MSS), was designed, made and evaluated. This unique mechanism consists of an axial stress machine into which fatigue, high and low temperatures and pressures can be programmed for automatic operation. A novel circular lap joint lies at the heart of the MSS in which test sealant is sandwiched between the circular coupons that are then assembled with aerospace fasteners and sealed. This joint configuration is representative of a wing skin butt-strap joint in a real aircraft. The MSS is easy to run, it accurately simulates real world dynamics and conditioning, and it provides results to qualify sealants in a more realistic manner than current testing methods provide. The MSS enables evaluation and comparative testing of sealant systems when used
for interfay, fillet and overcoat applications. The information provided is complementary to that obtained from conventional small scale coupon testing; it is not seen as a substitute. Further work is required to refine the test variables and further data are required to provide confidence in the utility of the MSS.
Development of the MSS was undertaken with the support of Airbus UK to ensure that the design, materials and all other variables met with the overall requirements of a commercial aircraft manufacturer. Airbus UK have a duplicate MSS of their own, installed by the author, from which they can obtain patterns of data for different combinations of materials and experimental variables
The Fiction of Ellen Gilchrist: An Appreciation
No full textBy Brad Hooper Praeger Publishers (Hardcover, $39.95, ISBN: 0275985938, 3/2005) Winner of the National Book Award for her short story collection Victory Over Japan, Ellen Gilchrist has entertained audiences with her vivid fictional portraits of strong women, eccentric lives, and the difficulties of love and life. Known both for her short fiction and her novels, Gilchrist has been awarded several honors throughout her career, and her work continues to receive both critical and popular acclaim. This book examines her fiction, book by book, and offers an appreciation of her craft through a careful analysis of the stories themselves, their critical reception, and their lasting effect on the reader. Hooper offers the first complete evaluation of Gilchrist\u27s entire fiction oeuvre. Author of such works as In the Land of Dreamy Dreams, The Annunciation, I, Rhoda Manning, Go Hunting with My Daddy, and several other novels and collections of short stories, Ellen Gilchrist has transcended the bounds of Southern writing, appealing to audiences in all corners of the nation. Here, Hooper celebrates her fiction, focusing on the strong, feisty female characters that populate her works, exerting their will and independence regardless of traditional restraints on their activities. In addition, he pays special attention to her strengths and weaknesses as both a short fiction writer and a novelist, arguing that while her novels may entertain, her lasting contribution to American letters can more easily be found in her short fiction.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/mwp_books/1347/thumbnail.jp
