APPENDIX C: Sandemanian Scientists Faraday was not the only Sandemanian who contributed to science, although the sum contributions by other members of the sect was small, but not insignificant, when compared with Faraday's. Our first two examples predate Faraday. Samuel Pike (1717-73), the Independent minister who joined the London meeting house in 1762, had earlier written an undogmatic account of John Hutchinson's natural philosophy entitled Philosophia Sacra (1757). Second­ ly, Dr Andrew Wilson (1718-92), an eminent physician, was for a short time connected with the London church and he published on both medicine and natural philosophy, the latter from a Hutchinsonian standpoint. Among Faraday's contemporaries, the most famous was the painter and inventor Cornelius Varley (1781-1873), a member of the Royal Institution, who contributed a number of electrical and optical inventions and was awarded the Isis medal of the Society of Arts. Varley belonged to the sect for a little over 2 years, while the chemist Charles W. Vincent (1837-1905) was a member for nearly 5 years. Through Faraday's encouragement Vincent studied at the Royal College of Chemistry and he subsequently published his process for producing Burton brewing water (1878) and also edited The year­ book of facts in science and art (1874, etc.) and Chtmistry, theoretical, practical and analytical (1877-9). The Sandemanian whose scientific interests were closest to Faraday's was his brother-in-law George Buchanan (179Q-1852), who was a land surveyor and civil engineer and became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Educated at Edinburgh University, where he studied natural philosophy under John Leslie, Buchanan subsequently lectured on that subject to the Scottish School of Arts and published several papers on scientific and technical subjects. When Joseph Henry from America visited Faraday in 1837, he was introduced to Buchanan and spent some time with him in Edinburgh. Another Scottish Sandemanian, Dr John Crichton (1772-1860) from Dundee, became a respected surgeon and was particularly noted tor his lithotomy operations. Finally, David James Blaikley (1846-1936), a younger member of the London church, published four papers on acoustics between 1878 and 1884. Contributions to science were also made by several members of Sand­ emanian families who did not join the sect. Archibald Sandeman (1822-93) was the first professor of mathematics at Owens College, Manchester, and also published several introductory texts. A relative of Sandeman's, John James Waterston (1811-83), quietly produced a succession of scientific papers which were ignored by contemporaries. These, and particularly his researches into the 303 304 APPENDIX C kinetic theory of gases, have subsequently become recognised as profound contributions to science.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • The Solar Wind Prevents Re-Accretion of Debris After Mercury's Giant Impact
    Draft version February 21, 2020 Preprint typeset using LATEX style emulateapj v. 12/16/11 THE SOLAR WIND PREVENTS RE-ACCRETION OF DEBRIS AFTER MERCURY'S GIANT IMPACT Christopher Spalding1 & Fred C. Adams2;3 1Department of Astronomy, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511 2Department of Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 and 3Department of Astronomy, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Draft version February 21, 2020 ABSTRACT The planet Mercury possesses an anomalously large iron core, and a correspondingly high bulk density. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in order to explain such a large iron content. A long-standing idea holds that Mercury once possessed a larger silicate mantle which was removed by a giant impact early in the the Solar system's history. A central problem with this idea has been that material ejected from Mercury is typically re-accreted onto the planet after a short ( Myr) timescale. Here, we show that the primordial Solar wind would have provided sufficient drag∼ upon ejected debris to remove them from Mercury-crossing trajectories before re-impacting the planet's surface. Specifically, the young Sun likely possessed a stronger wind, fast rotation and strong magnetic field. Depending upon the time of the giant impact, the ram pressure associated with this wind would push particles outward into the Solar system, or inward toward the Sun, on sub-Myr timescales, depending upon the size of ejected debris. Accordingly, the giant impact hypothesis remains a viable pathway toward the removal of planetary mantles, both on Mercury and extrasolar planets, particularly those close to young stars with strong winds.

ABSTRACT As the first major study of the portrait artist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893- 1965), this thesis locates the artist in his social, political and economic context, arguing that his portraiture can be seen as an exemplar of modernity. The portraits are shown to be responses to modern life, revealed not in formally avant- garde depictions, but in the subject-matter. Industrial growth, the increasing population, expanding suburbs, and a renewed interest in the outdoor life and popular entertainment are reflected in Fleetwood-Walker’s artistic output. The role played by exhibition culture in the creation of the portraits is analysed: developing retail theory affected gallery design and exhibition layout and in turn impacted on the size, subject matter and style of Fleetwood-Walker’s portraits.
