Double window viewing chamber assembly
A viewing chamber which permits observation of a sample retained therein includes a pair of double window assemblies mounted in opposed openings in the walls thereof so that a light beam can directly enter and exit from the chamber. A flexible mounting arrangement for the outer windows of the window assemblies enables the windows to be brought into proper alignment. An electrical heating arrangement prevents fogging of the outer windows whereas desiccated air in the volume between the outer and inner windows prevents fogging of the latter
Tradition and rural modernity in Mary Webb’s Shropshire: Precious Bane in context
In Precious Bane (1924), Mary Webb explores the potential of traditional ways of seeing to enable the renaturing of landscapes depleted and increasingly denatured by normalized exploitative capitalist farming practices. Webb does not unquestioningly celebrate tradition, as is apparent from the ambivalent representation of Beguildy, or the cruelty of Huglet and Grimble. Nevertheless, the novel challenges the post-Enlightenment hierarchical opposition between a supposedly rational modernity, and the allegedly ignorant superstition of those whose lives are still structured around traditional ways of understanding the world. This distinction has often been central to the promotion of what Karl Bell calls the "mythification of the modern." Bell has in mind the uncritical assumption that all things modern are a source of progress, especially when, as is often the case, the modern is understood to mean a world dominated and structured by instrumentalism and laissez-faire capitalism. In Precious Bane, the provisional and "mythopoeic" qualities of both traditional beliefs and practices and different versions of rural modernity are explored through the fraught relationships between Prue Sarn, the first-person narrator; her atheist brother Gideon (who rejects tradition, and fully embraces modern laissez-faire capitalism); and the cunning-man Beguildy (who exemplifies tradition)
Deep images of cluster radio halos
New radio data are presented for the clusters A401, A545, A754, A1914, A2219
and A2390, where the presence of diffuse radio emission was suggested from the
images of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey. Sensitive images of these clusters, obtained
with the Very Large Array (VLA)at 20 cm confirm the existence of the diffuse
sources and allow us to derive their fluxes and intrinsic parameters.The
correlation between the halo radio power and cluster X-ray luminosity is
derived for a large sample of halo clusters, and is briefly discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 13 figures, Astron. Astrophys. in pres
The Development and Use of A Piloted Flight Simulation Environment for Rotary-Wing Operation to the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers
Flight simulation is being used to inform the First of Class Flight Trials for the UK’s new Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) aircraft carriers. The carriers will operate with the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II fighter aircraft, i.e. the Advanced Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing variant of the F-35. The rotary wing assets that are expected to operate with QEC include Merlin, Wildcat, Chinook and Apache helicopters. An F-35B flight simulator has been developed and is operated by BAE Systems at Warton Aerodrome. The University of Liverpool is supporting this project by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to provide the unsteady air flow field that is required in a realistic flight simulation environment. This paper is concerned with a research project that is being conducted using the University’s research simulator, HELIFLIGHT-R, to create a simulation environment for helicopter operations to the QEC. The paper briefly describes how CFD has been used to model the unsteady airflow over the 280m long aircraft carrier and how this is used to create a realistic flight simulation environment. Results are presented from an initial simulation trial in which test pilots have used the HELIFLIGHT-R simulator to conduct simulated helicopter landings to two landing spots on the carrier, one in a disturbed air flow and the other in clean air. As expected, the landing to the spot in disturbed air flow requires a greater pilot workload, shows greater deviation in its positional accuracy and requires more control activity. This initial trial is the first of a planned series of simulated helicopter deck landings for different wind angles and magnitudes
A Virtual Engineering Approach to the Ship-Helicopter Dynamic Interface; a decade of modelling and simulation research at The University of Liverpool
This paper reviews some of the research that has been carried out at the University of Liverpool where the Flight Science and Technology Research Group has developed its Heliflight-R full-motion research simulator to create a simulation environment for the launch and recovery of maritime helicopters to ships. HELIFLIGHT-R has been used to conduct flight trials to produce simulated Ship-Helicopter Operating Limits (SHOLs). This virtual engineering approach has led to a much greater understanding of how the dynamic interface between the ship and the helicopter contributes to the pilot's workload and the aircraft's handling qualities and will inform the conduct of future real-world SHOL trials. The paper also describes how modelling and simulation has been applied to the design of a ship's superstructure to improve the aerodynamic flow field in which the helicopter has to operate. The superstructure aerodynamics also affects the placement of the ship's anemometers and the dispersion of the ship's hot exhaust gases, both of which affect the operational envelope of the helicopter, and both of which can be investigated through simulation
Using piloted simulation to measure pilot workload of landing a helicopter on a small ship
When conducting landings to a ship's deck in strong winds, helicopter pilot workload is often dominated by the turbulence within the ship's airwake. Previous studies have shown that larger ships create more aggressive airwakes and simulated flight trials had shown that it can be easier to land to a smaller ship than a large one. However, there are helicopter-enabled ships that are less than 100m in length and these will have significantly greater ship motion in rough seas than a large ship. The study reported in this paper has used a motion-base flight simulator to evaluate the pilot workload when landing to three geometrically similar ships of lengths 100m, 150m and 200m. Ship motion software has been used to create realistic deck displacements for sea states 4, 5 and 6, which are consistent with the increasing wind speed over the deck. It has been shown that the 100m ship was the most difficult to land to, with deck motion being the limiting factor. The next most difficult ship to land to was the 200m ship, with airwake turbulence being the limiting factor. The 150m ship generated the lowest pilot workload. The study has demonstrated that when ship motion is excessive, as it will be with small ships in rough seas, pilot workload will be dominated by deck motion during a landing task, but as the ship gets larger and more stable, airwake disturbances will dominate. It is clear from this study that realistic ship motion is essential when using piloted flight simulation to conduct simulated ship-helicopter operations
Sourcing Neo-Acadian Inner Piedmont Granitoids withinthe Southern Appalachians
New whole-rock U/Th/Pb, Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr isotopic data are presented from meta-granitoids, gabbros, and meta-sedimentary rocks within the eastern Blue Ridge, Inner Piedmont, and Charlotte belts of the southern Appalachians. Data from this study, combined with published data from the Tugaloo and Carolina Super terranes, further demonstrate the character of the proposed “Neo-Acadian” Orogeny and its signature in the southern and central Appalachians. Radiogenic isotopic data support a crustal source for Neo-Acadian Inner Piedmont granitoids. Although Nd isotopic fingerprints from Tugaloo and Carolina Super terrane rocks overlap with Neo-Acadian Inner Piedmont granitoids, the range of compositions projected by the two sources is so wide that Nd isotopic compositions alone cannot test the hypothesis that the magmas were derived by anatexis of the Cat-Square terrane.The lack of published isotopic data for metasedimentary rocks, combined with a lack of radiogenic isotope data for Inner Piedmont granitoids, stifles any exploration of the anatexis hypothesis of the Cat-Square terrane. Moreover, radiogenic isotopic data support the idea that Eastern Blue Ridge rocks are derived from a mixed source of both crustal and mantle components.Mixing of a mafic component from the Charlotte belt, believed to have come from the depleted mantle,and felsic components from the eastern Blue Ridge produces an array of isotopic compositions observed in both belts.Bachelor of Scienc
