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
Life in Miniature Exhibition at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology: Intertwining Theoretical and Traditional Approaches in the Exhibition of Terracotta Figurines and Other Miniature Objects
No full textThe Kelsey Museum of Archaeology recently hosted a special exhibition, entitled Life in Miniature: Identity and Display at Ancient Seleucia-on-the-Tigris, co-curated by myself (Stephanie Langin-Hooper) and Sharon Herbert.Indeed, the focus of the show was to illustrate how and why terracotta figurines and other miniatures were used in the everyday lives of the people of Seleucia-on-the-Tigris

Celebrating Doreen Wood:Beating the Bounds
No full textThis case study is a place-based programme of activities designed for a group of Girl Guides to celebrate the contribution Doreen Wood (104 yrs) has made to their community (Meanwood, Leeds, UK) through amateur filmmaking. The collaborative project extends from the research of filmmaker, Sharon Hooper, and curator, Dr Janine Sykes, and aims to find if the creative (filmmaking and curatorial) activities have any health benefits for the participants. All the creative activities were co-produced with the leaders of the Girlguiding Association (Meanwood Unit). A mixed research method of practice research and discourse analysis was applied, where feedback from participants around the benefits of the activities were captured for analysis, and summarised.The creative activities entailed: presenting the story of Doreen Wood as a local resident and amateur filmmaker, showing her film, Beating the Bounds (1976); recreating the communal walk on which the film was based; facilitating workshops; and screening a film made by the participants. See below the programme, organised within the regular Girlguiding meetings during April and July 2024 at their normal venue in Meanwood. All parental consents were given for participants to take part in the activities.<br/

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
