Alive and Kicking! J.B. Priestley and the University of Bradford
No full textYesThis article explores the connections between Bradford-born author J.B. Priestley and the University of Bradford, using evidence from archives held in Special Collections at the University. The discussion includes the award of an honorary doctorate to Priestley in 1970 and the opening of the J.B. Priestley Library in 1975
Multichannel Equalization in Subbands
No full textFor the dereverberation of acoustic channels or the rendering of a specific sound field, the inversion of acoustics is a central problem and generally involves multichannel techniques. In this paper, we introduce a subband approach to the adaptive solution of this equalization problem. The presented method generally allows for faster convergence at lower complexity. We also address limitations of the subband technique, potential error sources, and design specifications. Simulations are presented underlining the use of our method

Good Words (Magazine) for 1868
No full textAs Abbey writes, the fable articles here precede and are different from their first appearance in book form a year later. For it was then that Ralston published the first edition of Krilof and His Fables. See my comments on the third (1871) and fourth (1883) editions. The book smells of its many years! The three fable articles are on 39-46, including six illustrations on 40-41; 215-221, including six illustrations on 216-17; and 413-20, including six illustrations on 416-17. These are magazine articles. They comment on Krilof's views and particularly on Russian foibles. Thus one prose text after another is integrated into the article. In the book, there will be, after a preface and a memoir, a simple collection of texts. In fact, the selection of Krilof fables within the article here is excellent, and the author puts them into a good cultural and political context. At least some of the illustrations are the same as those in the third edition.. The texts are close to those found in the published books. It makes sense to see the texts in the magazine here as forerunners of those fable texts there. I presume that Ralston had opportunity to edit and amend between his magazine articles and his book's first edition. The publisher of the magazine is of course the publisher of the third edition that I have. The print is minuscule! I needed a magnifying glass for normal reading. The index just after 774 assigns J.B. Zwecker and A.B. Houghton as illustrators for the eighteen illustrations in the three fable articles. Dalziel, Houghton, and Zwecker are the names I can make out on the illustrations. Dalziel is not mentioned on the title page, but there is reference to others.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Norman MacLeod; W.R.S. Ralston for fable

Can Reynolds stress transport models be used for large eddy simulation?
No full textThis work explores a route to unify Reynolds averaged (RANS) and large eddy simulation (LES). The approach is to use a slightly modified Reynolds stress transport model for any mesh resolution. The model is formulated in terms of both total kinetic energy and modeled kinetic energy in such a way that the RST model correctly reproduces RANS results, LES results, and even DNS results (by turning itself off). The model equations do not contain functions of the mesh size within any of the model terms or constants. It is demonstrated that this approach works at any mesh resolution. In addition, the model naturally transitions between mesh resolutions, either coarse to fine or vice-versa. It is shown that for LES mesh resolutions the model returns a turbulent length scale that is proportional to the mesh size (the classic LES turbulent length scale)
The peripatetic fossils: part 4
No full textThese two articles are the latest round In exchanges over the charge that Professor VJ. Gupta is responsible for corruption of the palaeontological literature on the Himalayas. Gupta (p. 307) responds to the allegations of four co-authors of papers with him. Professor J.B. Waterhouse, another co-author, comments below both on those allegations and on the articles by Dr John Talent in which the issue was raised originally. Talent will reply in next week'sNature
Large deviations of planetary jets
No full textRare or extreme events are of great interest in climate and other systems. Few studies address these statistics from a dynamical perspective. Classical statistical approaches, for instance closures or stochastic averaging usually describe typical states or low order statistics only. Large deviation theory is a very interesting alternative to these classical methods. It can in principle describe both typical fluctuations and extreme fluctuations. This allows us to discuss the long time evolution of the jet. One goal is to predict the dynamics that may lead to change of regimes and change of attractors in atmospheric jet dynamics
Inflation and Factor Shares
No full textWe use results from the literature on the determinants of price-cost margins to derive an equation relating labor's share of national income to the inflation rate (as well as to the output gap, the unemployment rate and the capital stock per worker). The equation is tested with a panel of 15 OECD countries. We obtain a robust positive relationship between inflation and the labor share. Our results suggest that disinflation is not distributively neutral, provide empirical support for the distinct concern about price stability shown by trade unions and employers' organizations, and help explaining the negative impact of inflation on growth.Inflation, Functional Distribution of Income, Markups.
Torrente Ballester's novel La saga/fuga de J.B. as a rehabilitation of imaginative prose
No full textWhen the novel La saga/fuga de J.B. (The Saga/Fugue of J.B.) came out in 1972, Gonzalo Torrente Ballester (1910-1999) had a long and extensive literary career behind him, but one which was marked by failures and the indifference of readers and critics. This novel, however, caused a sensation and was highlighted as Spain's answer to the Latin American "boom", as a proof that resourcefulness and unfettered imagination have their place in the Old World too… So although this was the author's magnum opus, which has naturally been the subject of a wide variety of studies and analyses, I think it has not been completely exhausted as a theme. In my work I attempt to perceive it not as a unique work of artistic creation by the author but also as the logical outcome of previous writing - it is this perception that I find lacking in the literature available on the novel and its author. For La Saga/fuga de J.B. contains constants in it which appear in a different form in Torrente Ballester's work from 1943, when he made his debut as a novelist with his book Javier Mario.Historia de una conversión/Javier Mario. The story of a conversion. And it also represents not only the result of many years of practical experience in writing novels but also the product of deep theoretical reflection on the genre. Torrente combines in..
