Oliver C. Hampton and other Shaker teacher-musicians of Ohio and Kentucky
No full textThe purpose of this study is to present an example of a Shaker teacher-musician whose thinking and activities exemplified those Shakers living in the "western" Shaker societies of Ohio and-Kentucky. Oliver C. Hampton is that person. Hampton was a teacher, musician, composer, poet, writer of prose, elder, and trustee of the Union Village, Whitewater, and North Union, Ohio societies. Historians do not rank Hampton and his several teacher-musician friends as highly as other, better-known Shaker leaders. Nevertheless, Hampton and his colleagues contributed much to the betterment of their fellow Shakers' lives through their considerable efforts.Chapter Two gives the reader a brief historical background to enable him better to understand the beginnings of this unique religious movement.Chapter.Three deals with Shaker attitudes on religion, education, and music. The philosophy of these facets of Shaker life are explored because these attitudes affected everything the Shakers did.Chapter Four gives details of the life of Oliver C. Hampton. His personality is set forth. His responsibilities as elder, teacher, and musician are discussed. Thirty examples of Oliver Hampton's hymns and laboring songs are briefly analyzed from the singer's perspective.Chapter Five discusses Susanna M. Brady, the Rupes, and other musicians and teachers of the Ohio and Kentucky societies.Chapter Six gives a brief summary of the contributions of Oliver Hampton and his friends in the Ohio and Kentucky Shaker societies.Appendices further illustrate the musical, poetic, and prose efforts of Hampton, the Rupes, Brady, and others. Appendix A lists all Shaker teachers and musicians found by the writer. Appendix B is an article by Hampton as published in The Shaker. Appendix C contains the thirty musical examples of Hampton as copied from the originals and then transcribed by the author. Appendix D lists the musical examples contained in the paper and where they may be found. Appendix E contains music attributed to the Rupes and Brady. Appendix F is a set of three photographs, including one of Hampton.Thesis (D.A.

No full textAbstract: A miscellany of material relating to this University of Alabama president, including a newspaper clipping, a Carmichael writing entitled "The Function of Instinct in Education," and a scrapbook.Scope and Content Note: The collection contains a miscellany of material relating to Carmichael, including a newspaper clipping, "Dr. Carmichael to be Honored at UA" (1973), a Carmichael pamphlet entitled "The Function of Instinct in Education," and a scrapbook.Biographical/Historical Note: Oliver Cromwell Carmichael, born on 3 October 1891, was an educator who earned his A.B. (1911) and M.A. (1914) degrees from the University of Alabama. He taught German and French at the University of Alabama, 1911-1912, and at Florence Normal School, 1912-1913, before entering Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 1913. However, his studies there were interrupted by World War I. Following the war he taught high school and served as a principal before becoming dean and assistant to the president of Alabama College (now the University of Montevallo) in 1922. From 1926 to 1935 he was President of that institution. In 1935 he was appointed Dean of Vanderbilt University's graduate school, serving in that capacity until 1937. He was also the University's vice chancellor, 1936-1937 and chancellor, 1937-1946. He left Vanderbilt and served as President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, from 1946 to 1953. In 1953 he was named President of the University of Alabama, from which post he retired in 1957. Carmichael was author of Changing Role of Higher Education (1949), Universities: Commonwealth and American (1959) and Graduate Education: a Critique and a Program (1961). He died on 25 September 1966
Oliver Heaviside\u27s electromagnetic theory
No full text\ua9 2018 The Author(s). The year 2018 marks the 125th anniversary of the first of three published volumes on electromagnetic theory by the eminent Victorian electrical engineer, physicist and mathematician, Oliver Heaviside FRS. This commemorative issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A celebrates the publication of this work by collecting papers on a broad spectrum across the field of electromagnetic theory, including innovative research papers interspersed between historical perspectives and relevant reviews. Heaviside was a remarkable man, an original thinker with brilliant mathematical powers and physical insight who made many significant contributions in his fields of interest, though he is remembered primarily for his \u27step function\u27, commonly used today in many branches of physics, mathematics and engineering. Here, we celebrate the man and his work by illustrating his major contributions and highlighting his great success in solving some of the great telegraphic engineering problems of the Victorian era, in part due to his development and detailed understanding of the governing electromagnetic theory. We celebrate his Electromagnetic theory: three volumes of insights, techniques and understanding from mathematical, physical and engineering perspectives-as dictated by J. C. Maxwell FRS, but interpreted, reformulated and expanded by Heaviside to advance the art and science of electrical engineering beyond all expectations.This article is part of the theme issue \u27Celebrating 125 years of Oliver Heaviside\u27s \u27Electromagnetic Theory\u27\u27

The key role of nitric oxide in hypoxia: hypoxic vasodilation and energy supply-demand matching
No full textSignificance: a mismatch between energy supply and demand induces tissue hypoxia with the potential to cause cell death and organ failure. Whenever arterial oxygen concentration is reduced, increases in blood flow - 'hypoxic vasodilation' - occur in an attempt to restore oxygen supply. Nitric oxide is a major signalling and effector molecule mediating the body's response to hypoxia, given its unique characteristics of vasodilation (improving blood flow and oxygen supply) and modulation of energetic metabolism (reducing oxygen consumption and promoting utilization of alternative pathways). Recent advances: this review covers the role of oxygen in metabolism and responses to hypoxia, the hemodynamic and metabolic effects of nitric oxide, and mechanisms underlying the involvement of nitric oxide in hypoxic vasodilation. Recent insights into nitric oxide metabolism will be discussed, including the role for dietary intake of nitrate, endogenous nitrite reductases, and release of nitric oxide from storage pools. The processes through which nitric oxide levels are elevated during hypoxia are presented, namely (i) increased synthesis from nitric oxide synthases, increased reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide by heme- or pterin-based enzymes and increased release from nitric oxide stores, and (ii) reduced deactivation by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase. Critical issues: several reviews covered modulation of energetic metabolism by nitric oxide, while here we highlight the crucial role NO plays in achieving cardiocirculatory homeostasis during acute hypoxia through both vasodilation and metabolic suppression Future directions: we identify a key position for nitric oxide in the body's adaptation to an acute energy supply-demand mismatc
Risk Assessment of Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage After Thrombolysis Using DWI-ASPECTS
No full textBackground and Purpose-Pretreatment lesion size on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a risk factor for symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) associated with thrombolytic treatment. Here, we investigated whether the Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score (ASPECTS) applied to DWI images (DWI-ASPECTS) predicts sICH risk accurately. Methods-In this retrospective multicenter study, prospectively collected data of 217 patients with anterior circulation stroke treated with intravenous or intraarterial thrombolysis within 6 hours after symptom onset were analyzed. Pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS scores were assessed by 2 independent investigators. For bleeding risk analysis, DWI-ASPECTS scores were either categorized into 0 to 7 (n = 105) or 8 to 10 (n = 112) or in 3 groups of similar sample size (DWI-ASPECTS 0 to 5 [n = 69], 6 to 7 [n = 70], and 8 to 10 [n = 78]). Results-DWI-ASPECTS scores correlated well with the DWI lesion volume (r = 0.77, P < 0.001, Spearman Rank test). Interobserver reliability for the assessment of DWI-ASPECTS was moderate (weighted kappa 0.441 [95% CI 0.373 to 0.509]). Twenty-three (10.6%) patients developed sICH. The sICH rate was significantly higher in patients with DWI-ASPECTS scores 0 to 7 (n = 21, 15.1%) as compared to patients with DWI-ASPECTS scores 8 to 10 (n = 2, 2.6%, P = 0.004). sICH risk was 20.3%, 10%, and 2.6% in the 0 to 5, 6 to 7, and 8 to 10 DWI-ASPECTS groups, respectively. DWI-ASPECTS remained an independent prognostic factor for sICH after adjustment for clinical baseline variables (age, NIHSS, time to thrombolysis). Conclusions-DWI-ASPECTS predicts sICH risk after thrombolysis and may be helpful to contributing to quick sICH risk assessment before thrombolytic therapy.
