Stephen Mumberson: early printworks
Series of Nineteen prints made through various relief printing methods(lino-cut, metal relief(deep etched metal relief) and wood cut works) produced in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Subject matter sourced from Africa, research into prime and art of non western origin, myth(mostly Northern European and classical) and the local environment of South London particularly the Brixton area after the riots in the early 1980's. These Sources featured both in the method and style of cutting the images and also in the sourcing of image construction
The effect of mark enhancement techniques on the presumptive and confirmatory tests for blood
An investigation into the effects of physical and chemical enhancement on subsequent presumptive and confirmatory tests for human blood is presented. Human blood was deposited onto porous (white 80gsm paper and brown envelope) and non-porous (tile and linoleum) substrates in a depletion series (30 depletions on non-porous and 20 on porous) and subjected to three ageing periods; 1, 7 and 28 days. A number of enhancement techniques were tested [fluorescence, black magnetic powder (BMP), iron-oxide black powder suspension (PS), cyanoacrylate (CA) fuming, acid violet 17 (AV17), acid yellow 7 (AY7), ninhydrin, DFO and Bluestar Forensic Magnum (BFM) luminol] to evaluate their potential effects on subsequent presumptive and confirmatory tests. AV17 and Bluestar provided the best enhancement and fully enhanced all depletions in the series. The sensitivity of the Kastle-Meyer (KM) (presumptive), Takayama and RSID-Blood tests (confirmatory) was initially investigated to determine the range of detectable depletions. The KM test detected all depletions, whereas the Takayama test detected up to depletion 6 and RSID-Blood detected up to depletion 20 (paper), 10 (envelope), 15 (tile) and 9 (lino). The abilities of these tests to detect blood after enhancement were then observed.A number of techniques resulted in little to no effect on any of the blood tests, whereas adverse effects were observed for others. Ninhydrin and CA fuming caused weak but instantaneous positive KM results whereas methanol-based AV17 and AY7 delayed the reaction by as much as 1 min. The Takayama test was not very sensitive, therefore, its performance was easily affected by enhancement and negative results were often observed. RSID-Blood tests were largely unaffected by chemical enhancement although a drop in positive results was observed for some of the techniques when compared to positive controls.Using a standard procedure for DNA extraction, all the tested blood samples (before and after enhancement) gave a detectable quantity of DNA and were successfully profiled. Out of the 45 samples processed for DNA profiling, 44 gave full profiles, while the remaining showed allele drop out in one or two loci

Definition of a New Level One Test Case Measurements of Equilibrium Radiation from an Inductively Coupled Plasma in the Near-UV to Near-IR Spectral Region for a Titan-Type N2-CH4 Mixture. Preliminary Results
A test case, using a similar methodology and experimental set-up than
previous test case TC5-Level 1 is presented in this paper. An inductively
coupled plasma torch, working at atmospheric pressure, is used to create N2-CH4
Titan-like plasma (98%N2 - 2%CH4). The operating frequency and power are 64 MHz
and 3 kW respectively. This kind of apparatus allows obtaining plasma in
chemical and quasi-thermal equilibrium The spectral measurements cover the
[300-800] nm range and are performed inside the induction coil. Each
interesting spectrum is calibrated and compared to the line-by-line spectral
code SPARTAN used for the simulation of the radiative emission of entry-type
plasma. Finally, a discussion is proposed about the nucleation phenomenon which
is occurred in the ICP torch with the N2-CH4 plasma. Preliminary studies show
the synthesis of nanostructured carbon on the quartz tube.Comment: Radiation of High Temperature Gases in Atmospheric Entry, Heraklion :

UTD analysis of electromagnetic scattering by flat structures
The different scattering mechanisms that contribute to the radar cross of finite flat plates were identified and analyzed. The geometrical theory of diffraction, the equivalent current and the corner diffraction are used for this study. A study of the cross polarized field for a monopole mounted on a plate is presented, using novel edge wave mechanism in the analysis. The results are compared with moment method solutions as well as measured data
Exact Lagrangian submanifolds, Lagrangian spectral invariants and Aubry-Mather theory
We construct graph selectors for compact exact Lagrangians in the cotangent
bundle of an orientable, closed manifold. The construction combines Lagrangian
spectral invariants developed by Oh and results by Abouzaid about the Fukaya
category of a cotangent bundle. We also introduce the notion of Lipschitz-exact
Lagrangians and prove that these admit an appropriate generalization of graph
selector. We then, following Bernard-Oliveira dos Santos, use these results to
give a new characterization of the Aubry and Mane sets of a Tonelli Hamiltonian
and to generalize a result of Arnaud on Lagrangians invariant under the flow of
such Hamiltonians.Comment: v4: final version; to appear in Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. So
