The musical life of Artie Shaw
No full textArtie Shaw (1910-2004) was born to a poverty-stricken family of Jewish immigrants. In
addition to his family’s economic standing, Shaw faced many hardships during his youth
including abuse, sickness, and discrimination. Through all of these adversities, Artie came to rely
on music to fit in and be successful. After gaining a reputation as a skilled sideman on clarinet
and saxophone, Artie launched a career as a bandleader, which spanned nearly two decades.
During his career, Shaw gained more wealth and fame than he ever imagined as a
troubled child growing up in New Haven, Connecticut; but early in his career, he came to detest
the dealings of the music business, of which he was at the forefront by 1938, and the pressures of
being a celebrity. Although Artie made several attempts to leave the music business, he
continuously returned either because of contractual obligations or to make money.
In addition to Artie’s complex musical life, he also led a difficult personal life. In a 53-
year period, Shaw had eight marriages, all ending in divorce or annulment. Half of these
marriages were with Hollywood actresses, and he allegedly had dozens of more affairs. In 1954,
Artie Shaw made his final retirement from performing. He lived another 50 years working as an
author and following other pursuits outside of music.Thesis (M.M.

Long-term recovery of macroinvertebrate biota in grossly polluted streams: Re-colonisation as a constraint to ecological quality
No full textTo meet targets imposed by the European Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) it is vital that measures to improve the status of rivers are both effective and economically viable. Achievement of such aims needs robust understanding of biological responses to changes in water quality vis-à-vis mechanisms of and constraints to the colonization of previously polluted sites. This study therefore examined the long-term chemical and biological changes in historically polluted rivers to elucidate the responses of macroinvertebrate biota to improvements in chemical water quality. For three historically polluted sites in the English Midlands, data from surveys over a period of ca. 50 years were analysed. Ammonia (NH3) and 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) were used as chemical water quality indicators. Variations in the ecological recovery of the study sites were assessed using an average pollution sensitivity score (Average Score Per Taxon) and the number of taxa present (usually to family level) present in hand-net samples. Ecological recovery varied widely and was influenced by the intensity and spatial extent of the pollution and the proximity of available sources of potential colonisers. At the site most isolated from potential sources of colonizing taxa, no clean-water macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded 30 years after the major sources of pollution ceased. Where clean-water colonisers were more readily available, significant improvements in ecological quality followed within 2–5 years of the improvements in chemical quality. Macroinvertebrate communities and hence monitoring data may thus be indicative of long past conditions or of biological isolation rather than contemporaneous chemical conditions. Combined chemical and biological data were used to explore a generic model for predicting recovery rates and success. Neither BOD5 nor NH3 were found to provide a consistent and meaningful prediction of either average pollution tolerance of macroinvertebrate taxa or of the number of taxa present. Long-term relationships between macroinvertebrate variables and chemical water quality variables, however, were non-linear, suggesting that water quality thresholds may have to be exceeded before biological recovery can occur. Even when chemical water quality has been improved substantially, the apparent ecological status of macroinvertebrate communities may not reflect reduced pollution levels attained until adequate time to allow for re-colonisation (possibly decades) has elapsed

Hele-Shaw rheometry
No full textIn this paper, we describe a novel approach to determine the flow behavior index of a power-law fluid by means of a microfluidic device. The concept of this method is based on a mathematical analysis by Aronsson and Janfalk [Eur. J. Appl. Math. 3, 343–366 (1992)] of Hele-Shaw flow of power-law liquids. We implement this approach by driving a non-Newtonian fluid through a glass microfluidic chip with a 100:1 contraction. The flow in this chip satisfies the Hele-Shaw flow conditions in most of the device. Two conjugate p-Laplace equations describe the pressure and stream function in such flows. These equations depend on the flow behavior index, n. Therefore, by fitting the p-Laplace equation to the velocity field obtained from a micro particle image velocimetry measurement of the flow, the flow behavior index of the fluid in the chip can be determined. Because in practice, fluids rarely show perfectly inelastic power-law behavior, conditions under which the assumption of inelastic flow is valid were derived by analyzing Hele-Shaw flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid. The concept was tested using three different classes of model fluids, a Newtonian fluid, an inelastic power-law fluid, and a Boger fluid. In all three cases, satisfactory results were obtained, with values of n deviating at most 4% from values measured using conventional rheometry. The method presented here is expected to be potentially useful in online quality control in, for example, polymer or food processing.Process and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
