Frederick Lanchester and the Invention of the Air-Supported Structure
No full textIn 1917 Frederick W. Lanchester (1868–1946) applied for the first UK patent for an air-supported structure, and in 1920 Lanchester registered another patent for an air-supported ‘domed’ exhibition hall with a proposed diameter of 329 m. Whilst neither of these structures were realised, both designs featured in key architectural publications and can be credited as the antecedents of an emerging technology. Lanchester, an engineer and polymath is best known for his work in automotive engineering, aeronautics and powered flight, and thanks to the recent publication of his archive, an analysis of his calculations and notebooks is now possible. The paper concludes by describing the subsequent development and realisation of air-supported and air-formed structures by engineer Walter Bird (1912–2006) and architect Dante Bini (1932-), and features previously unpublished archive diagrams and notes, documenting the invention of a remarkable new type of structural enclosure entirely supported by differential air pressure
The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project
No full textBrown dwarfs are a recent addition to the plethora of objects studied in Astronomy. With theoretical masses between 13 and 75 MJupiter, they lack sustained stable Hydrogen burning so they never join the stellar main sequence. They have physical properties similar to both planets and low--mass stars so studies of their population inform on both. The distances and kinematics of brown dwarfs provide key statistical constraints on their ages, moving group membership, absolute brightnesses, evolutionary trends, and multiplicity. Yet, until my thesis, fundamental measurements of parallax and proper motion were made for only a relatively small fraction of the known population. To address this deficiency, I initiated the Brown Dwarf Kinematics (BDKP). Over the past four years I have re-imaged the majority of spectroscopically confirmed field brown dwarfs (or ultracool dwarfs--UCDs) and created the largest proper motion catalog for ultracool dwarfs to date. Using new astrometric information I examined population characteristics such as ages calculated from velocity dispersions and correlations between kinematics and colors. Using proper motions, I identified several new wide co-moving companions and investigated binding energy (and hence formation) limitations as well as the frequency of hierarchical companions. Concurrently over the past four years I have been conducting a parallax survey of 84 UCDs including those showing spectral signatures of youth, metal-poor brown dwarfs, and those within 20 pc of the Sun. Using absolute magnitude relations in J,H, and K, I identified overluminous binary candidates and investigated known flux-reversal binaries. Using current evolutionary models, I compared the MK vs J-K color magnitude diagram to model predictions and found that the low-surface gravity dwarfs are significantly redward and underluminous of predictions and a handful of late-type T dwarfs may require thicker clouds to account for their scatter.Advisor(s): Frederick M.

Sir Frederick Ouseley, the foundation of St Michael’s college, Tenbury Wells, and the ideals of Anglican choral tradition in the Victorian age
No full textThe Church and College of St Michael and All Angels, Tenbury Wells was founded in 1856 by The Rev'd Sir Frederick A. G. Ouseley. It wasintended to serve as a model to the cathedral churches of England and choral services were performed twice daily by a choir of men and boys. The choristers were to benefit from Ouseley's second aim at St Michael's - the provision of a good grammar school education. Ouseley's decision to devote his life to the improvement of the choral aspects of church life in this way, was clearly a result of his personal experiences. However, as a composer, scholar, antiquarian, gentleman, Ouseley was representative of the ideal Victorian churchman. Consequently, his philosophy is inherently linked with that of the Victorian Church in general. His work must be considered in the context of the test of strength facing the Church in the form of poor finances, low morale and various intellectual developments that questioned its basic doctrines. The importance of St Michael's was acknowledged by the brief account edited by M, F. Alderson & H. C. Colles in 1943 (updated in 1988 by Watkins Shaw). However, these books do not consider this important relationship between the college and events in the Church in general. In looking at the life of St Michael's, one can draw parallels with the trends in the Church as a whole - the improvements for which the Oxford Movement was striving, the revival of Gothic architecture and the Victorian conception of a "sacred" musical style. It is also possible to see the implementation of Ouseley's personal beliefs, and to consider the extent to which these influenced the lives of those boys and young men who came into contact with Ouseley and St Michael's in their formative years
The concept of remembrance in Walter Benjamin
No full textThis thesis argues that the role played by the concept of remembrance (Eingedenken)
in Walter Benjamin's 'theory of the knowledge of history' and in his engagement with
Enlightenment universal history, is a crucial one. The implications of Benjamin's
contention that history's 'original vocation' is 'remembrance' have hitherto gone
largely unnoticed. The following thesis explores the meaning of the concept of
remembrance and assesses the significance of this proposed link between history and
memory, looking at both the mnemonic aspect of history and the historical facets of
memory. It argues that by mobilising the simultaneously destructive and constructive
capacities of remembrance, Benjamin sought to develop a critical historiography
which would enable a radical encounter with a previously suppressed past. In so doing
he takes up a stance (explicit and implicit) towards existing philosophical conceptions
of history, in particular the idea of universal history found in German Idealism.
Benjamin reveals an intention to retain the epistemological aspirations of universal
history whilst ridding that approach of its apologetic moment. He criticises existing
conceptions of history on the basis that each assumes homogeneous time to be the
framework in which historical events occur. Insight into the distinctive temporality of
remembrance proves to be the touchstone for this critique, and provides a paradigm
for a very different conception of time. The thesis goes on to determine what is valid
and what is problematic both in this concept of remembrance and in the theory of
historical knowledge which it informs, by subjecting both to the most cogent
criticisms which can be levelled at them. What emerges is not only the importance of
this concept for an understanding of Benjamin's philosophy but the pertinence of this
concept for any philosophical account of memory
