February 2006 1 L P S / Box 1 Cancer diagnosis r e g e t When patients have cancer, their bodies produce a S r e k range of substances known as ‘biomarkers’. These l o V are characteristic of the disease. At present, blood and urine tests are used to detect just one or two of these substances, and they are often highly inaccurate — a patient may be diagnosed with prostate cancer, for example, when in fact he is free of the disease. Now Professor Jim Heath and his team at the California Institute of Technology have built a nanosensor capable of detecting and measuring many biomarkers simultaneously. Here is how it works. A blood sample passes over an array of nanowires. The nanowires are coated with antibodies to which the biomarkers bind; each nanowire is coated with a different antibody. The white paint; tiny particles of it are very efficient at Above: Coloured SEM biomarkers become stuck to the nanowires, and this absorbing UV radiation.

    1 INTRODUCTION Site Location There is currently a proposal for a housing development on land off Simpson's Lane, Legge's Hill, Broseley (Fig. 1). The site in question is a 0.2ha area of open ground to the rear of Broseley Wood House; the eastern half of site is at present covered by graded spoil, and the western half is occupied by a level yard surface and concrete slab, creating a terrace on the steep hillside on the west side of King Street. History of the Site There is a long and well-documented tradition of clay tobacco pipemaking in Broseley. Legge's Hill probably derives its name from the Legg family, who were producing clay tobacco pipes in Broseley in the mid to late 17th century (Oswald, 1975, 32, 33, and 191) and it is likely that their pipeworks lay in close proximity to this site. The site is, however, also known to be the site of the William Southorn & Co. Tobacco Pipeworks (the Legge's Hill pipeworks), established by William Southorn probably in 1823 (Higgins et al, 1988), and in use as a pipeworks until the 1930s. This pipeworks is thought to have been the first purpose-built clay tobacco pipe factory, making this a site of potential national importance (Ironbridge Institute Research Paper No. 53). Following the transferring of the Southorn's pipemaking business to their King Street site in the 1930s, the site appears to have been used by a gate manufacturing business, still run by a member of the Southorn family (Higgins et al, 1988).

  • North Devon's Biosphere Reserve Eco-Museum Concept Ppt
    9th of October 2012 Eco-museum Concept North Devon’s Biosphere Reserve 9th of October 2012 Eco-museum: what is it? An Eco-museum is a network of already existing sites (museums, attractions, activities, places) focused on the identity of a place, largely based on local participation and aiming to enhance the welfare and development of local communities. The Eco-museum can then be defined as a "museum made by the Community for the Community ", as the first users of this museum are just the inhabitants of the locality. It is a celebration of the past, an introduction to the present and a project for the future of the local community. The objective of the Eco-museum is to provide space where the community can research his recent or remote past, putting the spotlight, not only the objects of everyday life, but also landscapes, architecture, ancient knowledge and oral traditions . In fact, it also deals with the promotion of educational activities and research focusing on the direct involvement of the whole population and local institutions. There are presently about 300 operating Eco-museums in the world; about 200 are in Europe, mainly in France, Italy, Spain, and Poland1. The Eco-museum can be developed in different ways, for example: - there are Eco-museums comprising one museum where local information and archives are available for researches. Two examples are: Easdalemuseum (exhibits) and Kilmartin House Museum (exhibits and research library) - open air museums, like Skye Eco-museum and Dunaskin Open Air Museum in Scotland, Beamish Open- air museum in England - spread into the area with one big point of attraction, a world heritage site designated by UNESCO and focused around one theme such as Ironbridge & Pennine.

  • The Following Is a List of Museums
    MUSEUMS WITH INTEREST IN TOBACCO Compiled by Ben Rapaport (Fall 2006) The following is a list of museums (and other places) around the globe having a few...to many tobacco-related relics, artifacts, and antiques, based on research to date. I do not guarantee that (1) the museum is still open to the public or (2) items once cited as "tobacco" are still current holdings. Where specific information has been provided to me by the museum's curator or by visitors, I have noted the holdings. For German museums, I have extracted Billerbeck, Mit Rauchern lässt sich reden, published in 1993, a book that surveys German museums emphasizing tobacco-related artifacts. In many cases, the address is not complete, so if you have corrections (or additions), I would certainly appreciate your input. Keep this list and I hope it proves useful in your global travels.

  • Hope and Rust
    Anna Storm Anna Storm In the late 20th century, many Western cities and towns entered a process of de-industrialisation. What happened to the industrial places that were left behind in the course of this transformation? How were they understood and used? Who engaged in their future? What were the visions and what was achieved? Hope and Rust: Reinterpreting the industrial place in the late 20th century examines the conversion of the redundant industrial built environment, into apartments, offi ces, heritage sites, stages for artistic installations, and destinations for cultural tourism. Through a wide-ranging analysis, comprising the former industrial areas of Koppardalen in Avesta, Sweden, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum in Britain, and Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord in the Ruhr district of Germany, a new way of comprehending this signifi cant phenomenon is unveiled. The study shows how the industrial place was turned into a commodity in a complex gentrifi cation process. Key actors, such as companies and former workers, heritage and planning professionals, as well as artists and urban explorers, were involved in articulating values of beauty, authenticity and adventure. By downplaying the dark and diffi cult aspects associated with industry, it became possible to showcase rust from the past fuelled with hope for a better future. Anna Storm is affi liated with the Division of History of Science and Technology at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2006, she received the Joan Cahalin Robinson Prize for best-presented
