Toroidal equipment packaging

For optimal packaging of equipment in shallow-cone vehicle toroidal packaging sets center of gravity of equipment forward. Packages are supported on rings within probe structure to provide low center of gravity. System permits interchanging of units for balance control, so minimum of lateral ballast is required

Sensors for ceramic components in advanced propulsion systems: Summary of literature survey and concept analysis, task 3 report

The results of a literature survey and concept analysis related to sensing techniques for measuring of surface temperature, strain, and heat flux for (non-specific) ceramic materials exposed to elevated temperatures (to 2200 K) are summarized. Concepts capable of functioning in a gas turbine hot section environment are favored but others are reviewed also. Recommendation are made for sensor development in each of the three areas

The ‘Romantic Faëry’: Keats, Tolkien, and the Perilous Realm

The Tolkien Estate Limited has given permission for the quotations from J R R Tolkien’s published works and unpublished manuscripts in this thesis and for its dissemination by the University of Exeter for the purposes of scholarly research and study. The J R R Tolkien materials may be further quoted in the context of quotation from the thesis provided that both the author of the thesis and The Tolkien Estate Limited as copyright owner are acknowledged with due prominence. Prior permission must be sought from The Tolkien Estate Limited for any other use or reproduction of the J R R Tolkien materials. The scope of this thesis covers the influence of John Keats’s work on J. R. R. Tolkien’s tale of Beren and Lúthien, The Book of Lost Tales and The Lord of the Rings. It draws on Tolkien’s academic works: ‘Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics’, On Fairy-stories and brings to light unpublished manuscripts from Tolkien’s undergraduate notebooks and 1930s lecture notes held at the Bodleian Library in the University of Oxford. Collectively they evidence his awareness and adoption of material by Keats and the forgers James Macpherson and Thomas Chatterton. The thesis builds on what little scholarship exists on Tolkien, Keats, Chatterton and Macpherson by offering primary evidence and fresh insights into their shared interests into national history. The thesis argues that Keats and Tolkien share a conception of Faërie as the national heritage of England and Britain, as well as a debt to Macpherson and Chatterton, the early Romantic writers of the ‘Age of Forgery’ in the 1760s. Keats captured history and Faërie in a tapestry of pictures that afterwards inspired William Morris and the other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Morris subsequently influenced Tolkien’s work and the thesis will argue that the ‘perilous’, folkloric Faërie that Tolkien examined in On Fairy-stories is distilled to him through Keats and Morris in a chain of influence. It will argue that Tolkien initially adopted literary techniques and poetic diction from Keats in his first draft of his mythology in the 1910s. With the second draft in the 1920s, the thesis will argue that Tolkien’s maturity led him to critically rework Keats’s poems in ‘The Lay of Leithian’. The works of Macpherson, Chatterton, Keats and Tolkien reacted against the prevailing taste of their respective times by resurrecting a pre-imperial period of their nation’s past; they sought to engender a sense of nostalgia in their contemporaries and prompt a revived interest in what had been lost. It will identify that Tolkien and Keats inherited two prime methods for authenticating or feigning history: the oral tradition and the written word

Fourth Amendment Standing: Flat on Its Face

The United States Supreme Court has recently reevaluated its concept of standing for claims involving violations of the fourth amendment. The apparent purpose for reevaluation of this fundamental constitutional principle was the Court\u27s desire to respond to the debate currently raging over the scope of the exclusionary rule. Whether one perceives the fourth amendment as second to none in importance in the Bill of Rights or views it as a nuisance is not the issue here. Rather, the issue is whether, in its effort to limit the exclusionary rule, the Court has stripped the people of the United States of the protections guaranteed by the fourth amendment which the Court has historically recognized. A close inspection of the Court\u27s recent decisions concerning fourth amendment standing reveals that the Court\u27s desire for reform has resulted in a failure to follow precedent. The Court has taken the logic and reasoning from prior cases and liberally construed them to reach different results

The Strength of Thin-wall Cylinders of D Cross Section in Combined Pure Bending and Torsion

The results of tests of 56 cylinders of D cross section conducted in the Aeronautical Laboratory of the University of Maryland are presented in this report. These cylinders were subjected to pure bending and torsional moments of varying proportions to give the strength under combined loading conditions. The average buckling stress of these cylinders has been related to that of circumscribing circular cylinders for conditions of pure torsion and pure bending and the equation of the interaction curve has been determined for conditions of combined loading
