Letter from Patrick M. Duignan to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from Patrick M. Duignan, Summer Hill College Sligo, to Hagan. At the wish of the bishop, enclosing three documents of correspondence between the O'Conor Don, Clonalis, Castlerea, County Roscommon, and Bishop Bernard Coyne, St. Mary's, Sligo: the O'Conor Don recommends his friend Fr. Roche, now of St. John's Church, Brentford, London, for the rectorship at the Irish College. He has good command of Italian (marginal comment 'no Irish!') and is a 'kind zealous and polished priest'. The bishop replies that the present vice-rector �'a distinguished writer and author'- has a prior claim; the O'Conor Don concurs. Duignan offers himself as a potential vice-rector; asking for frank reply. Musing that the bishop's interest in the matter is surprising; he is intolerant of English interference and whole-heartedly supports Hagan
Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Postfazione. Utopia e speranza: Bologna per Patrick Zaki
No full textThe essay elaborates on the talk the author delivered during the ceremony that took place after the liberation from prison of the UNIBO and honorary citizen of Bologna, Patrick Zaki. The essay elaborates on the following issues: the support of the university and city, the value of human rights, academic freedom, and public squares as spaces of democracy. It includes a longer part on utopia (as a literary genre and a political instrument of change) and hope, quoting academic scholars (Karl Mannheim, Ernst Bloch, Ursula Le Guin, Antonio Gramsci, Howard Zinn) and it explains the function of hope in utopia
Gipsy 3D: Analysis, Visualization and Vo-Tools
No full textThe scientific goals of the AMIGA project are based on the analysis of a significant amount of spectroscopic 3D data. In order to perform this work we present an initiative to develop a new VO compliant package, including present core applications and tasks offered by the Groningen Image Processing System (GIPSY), and new ones based on use cases elaborated in collaboration with ad- vanced users. One of the main goals is to provide local interoperability between GIPSY (visualization and data analysis) and other VO software. The connectivity with the Virtual Observatory environment will provide general access to 3D data VO archives and services, maximizing the potential for scientific discovery

Theoretical VO Services at VO-Paris Data Centre
No full textInternational audienceThe Virtual Observatory provides sets of tools and standards to develop interoperable services. Today, these standards also cover theoretical services. We present here three theoretical VO services developed at VO-Paris Data Centre: the PDR services that aims to facilitate the interpretation of observations in molecular interstellar clouds, the STARFORMAT project that will provide MHD simulations of dense cores collapses and the DEUVO project that will publish large scale simulations to study the imprint of dark energy models on cosmic structures
Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;

"The honor of firing before His Majesty": Patrick Ferguson's will and the Royal Armouries’ Ferguson rifle
No full textPatrick Ferguson (1744-80) designed the first breech-loading rifle to be used by the British Army. In November 2000, the Royal Armouries purchased an early example, formerly in the possession of the Fergusons of Pitfour, descendants of Patrick's younger brother, George. Patrick Ferguson's will has helped the author identify the Royal Armouries' Ferguson Rifle as the one which Patrick Ferguson used when he demonstrated it before George III and Queen Charlotte at Windsor in 1776
