From Dockyard to Esplanade: Leveraging Industrial Heritage in Waterfront Redevelopment

The outcomes of preserving and incorporating industrial building fabric and related infrastructure, such as railways, docks and cranes, in redeveloped waterfront sites have yet to be fully understood by planners, preservationists, public administrators or developers. Case studies of Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Philadelphia/Camden, Dublin, Glasgow, examine the industrial history, redevelopment planning and approach to preservation and adaptive reuse in each locale. The effects of contested industrial histories, planning approach, funding, environmental remediation, building materials and scale are evaluated as how they impact preservation outcomes. The case studies reveal a trend towards preservation of industrial waterfront buildings and infrastructure and demonstrate how such preservation has been leveraged to contribute to the success of re-purposed urban waterfronts

Jefferson\u27s Declaration of Independence: Origins, Philosophy, and Theology

Allen Jayne analyzes the ideology of the Declaration of Independence—and its implications—by going back to the sources of Jefferson\u27s ideas: Bolingbroke, Kames, Reid, and Locke. He concludes that the Declaration must be read as an attack on two claims of absolute authority: that of government over its subjects and of religion over the minds of men. Today\u27s world is more secular than Jefferson\u27s, and the importance of philosophical theology in eighteenth-century critical thought must be recognized in order to understand fully and completely the Declaration\u27s implications. Jayne addresses this need by putting religion back into the discussion. A clear, concise, and accurate account of the philosophical and religious views that inspired Thomas Jefferson to compose the United States\u27 formative document. -- American Historical Review The great virtue of Jayne\u27s study is that it uncovers the proselytizing mission of Jefferson and the Declaration. -- Choice This is an original, persuasive, and important study that puts the new theology of Locke and Jefferson in the context of traditional Judeo-Christian thought while illuminating the points of difference between the two. -- Garret Ward Sheldon Never before has anyone endeavored to establish a direct link between Jefferson\u27s most famous statement on politics and his tolerance of divergent faiths. -- H-Net Reviews Jayne\u27s Jefferson is right on the mark. His book is a convincing brief for Jefferson the American \u27philosophe\u27. Behind his radicalism is the European Enligtenment. Case made. -- Isaac Kramnick This book began when Jayne, a philosopher, read the books that Jefferson recommended to friends. Janye\u27s quest is to answer the riddle of whose ideas most influenced Jefferson when he drafted the famous Declaration of Independence. -- Journal of Church and State Jayne\u27s wide-ranging research and sound judgments come as a welcome relief to one who has labored through the dyspeptic sermonizing of Conor Cruise O\u27Brien. . . . Jayne rejects the much-publicized work of Garry Wills and returns us to the once-standard interpretation associated principally with Carl Becker . . . And his interpretation is utterly convincing. . . .Should stand for some time as the definitive work on the philosophy of the Declaration of Independence. -- Journal of Southern History This is a learned and clearly written book that advances and deepens our understanding of Thomas Jefferson\u27s thought, especially as it had developed by the time he drafted the Declaration of Independence. . . . Jayne has written the best account we have of exactly how Jefferson\u27s thought derived from the tradition of his \u27Trinity of Immortals,\u27 Bacon, Newton, and Locke. -- Journal of the Early Republic A stimulating and rather original book. -- Louis R. Harlan, The Key Reporter Demonstrates the importance of political thought and philosophical theology in Jefferson’s worldview, and he shows how they would later be manifested in the Declaration of Independence. -- McCormick (SC) Messenger A strong appeal to the importance of liberty to understanding Jefferson and the Declaration. -- North Carolina Historical Review A powerful study, well organized, clearly written, and convincingly argued. It should be required reading for all students of American history and culture. -- Ohio History Jayne focuses his considerable historical and analytic skills on the mind of Thomas Jefferson. The result is a meticulously researched, cogently argued view of Jefferson that should force most readers to reconsider their understanding of him. -- Perspectives on Political Science Jayne\u27s findings shed light on a controversy—almost as old as the Declaration itself—over how much credit Jefferson deserves for authorship. . . . A lucidly written, insightful treatment of a very complicated subject. -- Virginia Magazinehttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1008/thumbnail.jp

Continuous functions on products of compact Hausdorff spaces

We investigated the spaces of continuous functions on countable products of compact Hausdorff spaces. Our main object here is to extend the discussion to arbitrary products of compact Hausdorff spaces. We prove the following theorems in Section 3

The descriptive theory of represented spaces

This is a survey on the ongoing development of a descriptive theory of represented spaces, which is intended as an extension of both classical and effective descriptive set theory to deal with both sets and functions between represented spaces. Most material is from work-in-progress, and thus there may be a stronger focus on projects involving the author than an objective survey would merit.Comment: survey of work-in-progres

Boxfishes (Teleostei: Ostraciidae) as a model system for fishes swimming with many fins: kinematics

Swimming movements in boxfishes were much more complex and varied than classical descriptions indicated. At low to moderate rectilinear swimming speeds (<5 TL s^(-1), where TL is total body length), they were entirely median- and paired-fin swimmers, apparently using their caudal fins for steering. The pectoral and median paired fins generate both the thrust needed for forward motion and the continuously varied, interacting forces required for the maintenance of rectilinearity. It was only at higher swimming speeds (above 5 TL s^(-1)), when burst-and-coast swimming was used, that they became primarily body and caudal-fin swimmers. Despite their unwieldy appearance and often asynchronous fin beats, boxfish swam in a stable manner. Swimming boxfish used three gaits. Fin-beat asymmetry and a relatively nonlinear swimming trajectory characterized the first gait (0–1 TL s^(-1)). The beginning of the second gait (1–3 TL s^(-1)) was characterized by varying fin-beat frequencies and amplitudes as well as synchrony in pectoral fin motions. The remainder of the second gait (3–5 TL s^(-1)) was characterized by constant fin-beat amplitudes, varying finbeat frequencies and increasing pectoral fin-beat asynchrony. The third gait (>5 TL s^(-1)) was characterized by the use of a caudal burst-and-coast variant. Adduction was always faster than abduction in the pectoral fins. There were no measurable refractory periods between successive phases of the fin movement cycles. Dorsal and anal fin movements were synchronized at speeds greater than 2.5 TL s^(-1), but were often out of phase with pectoral fin movements

Momentum

Momentum was an exhibition of work by 8 applied artists who incorporate digital technologies in the creation of their artworks. The exhibition included 7 original objects created by Illner, using a combination of traditional craft-based and digital technologies such as rapid prototyping and laser engraving, and in materials such as paper, glass and silver. The show took place at Craft in the Bay, which is a leading centre for showcasing new crafts in Wales, with an internationally recognised reputation. The show travelled to the University of Hertfordshire (UH Galleries), a national centre for the theory of practice-led research (2012/13). An accompanying symposium brought together the artists the issues and themes arising from the use of new technologies within contemporary crafts. Illner's pieces were also shown in Framework Gallery (UH) as part of a group show The Printed Image (2012). Illner's work for this show was "an enquiry and exploration with materials, processes and techniques." (Dr. Cathy Treadaway, Momentum catalogue) Illner is described as a maker with “a playful and creative approach to materials and forms – these contrasting qualities are fundamental to her way of thinking, making and inspiring others.” (Felicity Cooke, Momentum catalogue). This work continues Illner's ongoing research project exploring how the digital can be embedded within materials, to create new possibilities in form and technique. Includes collaboration with other craftspeople and technical specialists, in order to develop innovative technical solutions to material connections. Illner’s current research use laser engraving on layered glass to create virtual imagery through shadow and reflection, challenging viewers to reflect on their perception of materials and their visual characteristics. Illner's practice-led research has also been shown in UK and European galleries over the last 20 years. Her work features in the Crafts Council and other private collections
