Media Heritage and Memory in the Museum: Managing Dennis Potter’s Legacy in the Forest of Dean
No full textThis research explores the ways in which Dennis Potter (1935-1994) is made inheritable to audiences through a rural Heritage Lottery Funded project. With the sale of the written Potter Archive to the Dean Heritage Centre, Gloucestershire, in 2010, this study explores in great detail the processes enacted to interpret the Potter Archive as cultural (television) heritage. Through a creative and innovative research design which utilises autoethnography, inventive qualitative methods and a level of quantitative analysis, this study examines the ways in which Potter is made intelligible to past television audiences, project members and collaborators, local people, and the casual tourist within the heritage environment.
A unique and irreproducible study, this interdisciplinary research sits as a contribution to an emerging field that is located at the interface between Memory studies and Museum Studies and explores the way various forms of mediation are connected to these fields. Inherently at stake in this research is the valorisation of television as heritage, as Potter remains well within living memory. Through proximate and intimate connections to this multifaceted heritage project this work represents one of the first interventions to explore turning television into heritage at a local level drawing together the macro level of cultural policy with the micro level of enacting that policy.
In asking how Dennis Potter’s legacy is managed in the Forest of Dean heritage environment, this thesis explores the ways Potter’s legacy is mediated, how television heritage is consumed and made meaningful (or struggles for meaning) in the museum space, how a writer’s legacy is interpreted by heritage professionals, volunteers, past television audiences and museum visitors, and how television as heritage is consumed online. This thesis makes visible the underlying mechanisms by which the Dennis Potter Archive is (or might yet become) articulated as television heritage, through examining the core managerial, interpretive and memorial processes involved in this high stakes, multi-partner project
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

The time-varying nature of the asymmetrical flow of a shear-thinning polymer solution in transitional pipe flow
No full textPrevious studies of shear-thinning fluids in pipe flow discovered that, although the time-averaged velocity profile was axisymmetric when the flow was laminar or fully turbulent, contrary to expectations it was asymmetric in the laminar-turbulent transition regime. The general consensus of these previous experiments was that the location of the peak velocity remained at a fixed point in space. We present new experimental data which demonstrates that this is in fact not the case. Our results confirm the significant departures from axisymmetry in transitional flows of shear-thinning fluids, in addition to the observation that the asymmetric flow pattern is not stationary, the peak velocity is seen to preferentially arise at certain azimuthal locations
International human resource management
No full textThis up-to-date, comprehensive reference was written in response to the expanding role of international content within Human Resource Management. Reflecting both empirical research and the state of practice in the industry, it reflects information from consulting firms, national and global HRM conferences, and interviews with HRM managers in multinational and global firms. To reinforce concepts and principles, author Dennis R. Briscoe incorporates IHRM in Action boxes featuring actual companies. In addition, an entire chapter (9) explores the future of IHRM, complete with the latest references and research
A necessary fiction: The ritualisation of stakeholder practices in New Zealand cinema
No full textThis thesis argues that stability of the concept ‘national cinema’ is located in the discursive positioning of individual films in such a way that they are connected to a national ‘common ground’, one which is ritually accessed via engagement with media such as cinema. This positioning, however, is not quantifiable and may not be identified as arising from any particular production practice, dimension of popularity, theme, style, characteristic of production personnel, and so on. By synthesising the work of several theorists and applying this synthesis to a selection of films, a framework of ideas (around the ritualised ‘flagging’ of the national via the expression of stakeholder interests) is applied to cinema in New Zealand. In particular, an ideoscape is ultimately mapped as a result of applying this framework of ideas. The normative assumptions of national cinema are examined in this way and found to be lacking despite the weight that the term ‘national cinema’ continues to have
Some generalizations of preprojective algebras and their properties
No full textIn this note we consider a notion of relative Frobenius pairs of commutative rings S/R. To such a pair, we associate an N-graded R -algebra which has a simple description and coincides with the preprojective algebra of a quiver with a single central node and several outgoing edges in the split case. If the rank of S over R is 4 and R is Noetherian, we prove that the generalized preprojective algebra is itself Noetherian and finite over its center and that it is finitely generated projective in each degree. We also prove that generalized preprojective algebras are of finite global dimension if the rings R and S are regular.During the creation of this paper, the first author was a Ph.D.student at the Univer-sity of Hasselt, Belgium. The second author was funded by a Ph.D.fellowship with the FWO Flanders

The people behind the papers – Dennis de Bakker, Mara Bouwman and Jeroen Bakkers
No full textUnlike mammals, adult zebrafish are capable of regenerating their hearts without scarring after injury – a process that has great therapeutic potential. A new paper in Development investigates the role of Prxx1b, a transcription factor that is expressed in epicardial heart tissue after injury, to understand its role in the scar-free regeneration of the adult zebrafish heart. To hear more about the study, we caught up with joint first authors, Dennis De Bakker and Mara Bouwman, and the corresponding author, Jeroen Bakkers, the group leader at the Hubrecht Institute and professor of Molecular Cardiogenetics at the University Medical Center in Utrecht, The Netherlands
