Rosulabryum flaccidum J. R. Spence
No full text* Rosulabryum flaccidum (Brid.) J.R.Spence SPECIMEN EXAMINED. — Falkland Islands. East Falkland, road to North Arm, Bodie Creek culvert, 51°50’9.6”S, 59°7’8.4”W, cliff at shore, 5 m a.s.l., 12.I.2015, 15/779 (MNH). NOTES A small species in the Rosulabryum capillare (Hedw.) J.R.Spence complex characterized by evenly foliate stems, a weak costa, and numerous filiform leaf axil gemmae, found in temperate climates of North America and the Caribbean (Spence 2014). Possibly introduced, but old reports from South America exist (summarized in Greene 1986). See Spence (2014) for confusion on the correct name for this species. The type does not match the species known as R. andicola (Hook.) Ochyra (cf. Haji Mohamed 1979), and more work is needed to resolve the issue. A disjunct bipolar/South American temperate species.Published as part of Spence, John R., 2022, Studies in Austral Bryaceae (Bryopsida). IV.

No full textThis paper, authored by Prof Robin Spence of Cambridge Architectural Research Limited, Prof Giulio Zuccaro, Scientific Director, Plinius Centre, University of Naples Federico II and Dr Rashmin Gunasekera, of Willis Analytics, provides a detailed review of risk from Vesuvius and proposes a new risk ranking of European volcanoes, with a focus on insurance risk potential
'Sensaround' (Spence/MacDonald/Ahmad) Japan tour concert
No full textThis performance took place as part of a tour by 'Sensaround' in Japan in 2016. Spence/MacDonald and Ahmad are committed to exploring how contingency acts on collective improvisation and real-time composition to produce surprising, unpremeditated and effective results.
The research area matches with Spence's investigation of the Experimental Composition Improvisation Continuum which explores contemporary extensions of the historical Experimental Music Movement and reconciled with Jazz through the writings of Nyman, Lewis, Bailey, Morris etc
Studies in Austral Bryaceae (Bryopsida). III. A Preliminary Account with Keys to Rosulabryum J.R. Spence in Chile
No full textA preliminary study of the genus Rosulabryum J.R. Spence in Chile is presented, with brief species descriptions, notes on ecology and distributions, and a taxonomic key. The following 12 species are confirmed with vouchered specimens; Rosulabryum andicola (Hook.) Ochyra, Rosulabryum billarderii (Schwägr.) J.R. Spence, Rosulabryum campylothecium (Taylor) J.R. Spence, Rosulabryum capillare (Hedw.) J.R. Spence, Rosulabryum coloratum (Müll. Hal.) J.R. Spence, Rosulabryum densifolium (Brid.) Ochyra, Rosulabryum longidens (Thér.) J.R. Spence, Rosulabryum macrophyllum (Cardot & Broth.) Ochyra, Rosulabryum perlimbatum (Cardot) Ochyra, Rosulabryum puconense (Herzog & Thér.) J.R. Spence, Rosulabryum rubens (Mitt.) J.R. Spence, and Rosulabryum torquescens (Bruch ex De Not.) J.R. Spence. Rosulabryum canariense (Brid.) Ochyra is tentatively excluded as the Chilean material can be referred to R. coloratum. Similarly, Rosulabryum viridescens (Welw. & Duby) Ochyra is tentatively excluded since the Chilean plants do not match the African type, but instead appear to be atypical plants of R. campylothecium

Architecture in tension: an examination of the position of the architect in the private and public sectors, focusing on the training and careers of Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976) and Sir Donald Gibson (1908-1991)
No full textIn the early 1900s tensions began to appear within the architectural profession,
as private practitioners struggled to deal with the implications of professional
colleagues moving into public sector employment. Sir Basil Spence and Sir
Donald Gibson began their architectural training in the mid-1920s and, as
tensions between the sectors intensified, Spence entered private practice and
Gibson chose to enter the public sector. Each became an exemplar of his
chosen sector of the profession and yet both have, until recently, escaped
critical attention. The tensions between the public and private sectors of the
profession have been acknowledged within the historiography, but not received
detailed analysis.
This thesis advances the current historiography by presenting an examination
of the division between the sectors, focusing on the relationship between the
RIBA and the public sector union AASTA and assessing the influence of
AASTA on Gibson's Coventry City Architect's Department.
Through an examination of archival material, contemporary published material,
and buildings, this thesis builds on the work of the Sir Basil Spence Archive
Project, adding detailed accounts of his early life, architectural training, and
RIBA presidency, presenting new information and correcting certain aspects of
the accepted historiography. It likewise presents new information on Gibson's
early life and training and his central role in achieving improved status and
representation for the public sector. An analysis of selected projects provides a
comparative study of their contrasting approaches to architecture: the
technically informed, collaborative team-work of Gibson and the individual
artistry of Spence.
Both men played pivotal roles in reforming the RIBA and in changing public and
professional perceptions of the architect, nevertheless, the long lineage and
complex nature of tensions within the profession meant that the public/private
division was never be bridged and issues of status and representation
remained essentially immutable
