Low-Power Lighting Technology
Low-Power Lighting Technology Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences have designed and tested a prototype cathodoluminescent lamp for general lighting. [27] A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Spain and the U.S. has announced that they have discovered a new property of light—self-torque. [26] When studying biological cells using optical tweezers, one main issue is the damage caused to the cell by the tool. Giovanni Volpe, University of Gothenburg, has discovered a new type of force that will greatly reduce the amount of light used by optical tweezers—and improve the study of all kinds of cells and particles. [25] The device, which works in the mesoscopic mass range for the first time, might not only be used to help solve fundamental problems in quantum mechanics, it might also find use in precision metrology applications. [24] Although previous research shows that metal nanoparticles have properties useful for various biomedical applications, many mysteries remain regarding how these tiny materials form, including the processes that generate size variations. [23] With a novel electrochemical biosensing device that identifies the tiniest signals these biomarkers emit, a pair of NJIT inventors are hoping to bridge this gap. [22] The dark skin pigment melanin protects against the sun's damaging rays by absorbing light energy and converting it to heat. [21] Wang, Bren Professor of Medical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, is using PAM to improve on an existing technology for measuring the oxygen-consumption rate (OCR) in collaboration with Professor Jun Zou at Texas A&M University. -

In the late 19th century, two such mastodons were unearthed in southwestern Wisconsin and were purchased for the UW Geology Museum’s permanent collection. Over the course of a century, one mastodon find became Wisconsin’s most famous fossil, while the other was virtually forgotten. In late 2015, this composite skeleton celebrated its 100th year of display in the Geology Museum, and Carrie Eaton unveiled some exciting discoveries regarding its history. Eaton will talk about the rediscovery of a historic specimen, new developments since the story broke, and why its extinction shouldn’t prevent us from learning to love the mastodon.

Striving to source our materials locally and responsibly, we design and create pieces that stand against throwaway culture. We were awarded the House & Garden 2020 Responsible Design Award and we are striving to live up to that standard. Each decision we make is committed to limiting our waste and carbon emissions and increasing our environmental awareness. 80% of what we make is produced in England and most is forged, blown, cast or built within 45 miles of our Head Office in Farnham, Surrey. We continually reinvent our pieces, and when we produce new designs, we launch small and considered collections, minimising the resources used in the origination and prototyping. Our Makers inherently embrace a sustainable approach in their making processes and our recycling scheme has reduced waste at Head Office by a staggering 82%. Our Tala Lighting collaboration has resulted in a range of high-quality LED light bulbs that are distributed at no extra charge with all our lighting pieces. This sustainable attitude is embraced from our design studio to our Upcycling Club. -
Key Dates for the Diary
15th June 2018 32 Dear all It has been a busy week of exam feedback here at school with students thinking carefully about their results and planning their next steps. Our central message revolves around ‘what is in your control?’ and asking our students to ensure they celebrate their successes and focus on the feedback their teachers are giving them, to empower them with their next steps. It has been my absolute pleasure to join Yr9 and Yr10 students for their assemblies this week where we explored how we develop our own growth mindset and the power of perspective. Last week I referenced the recent ban of smart phones in schools by the French government and this week has seen the issue discussed by UK secondary headteachers at the Girls’ Day Trust Conference. Of course, we have had a ban on smart phones since September 2015 and I have always been clear that I believe this to be one of the best moves we have made as a school. We are the first generation of parents and teachers to tackle the issue of screens and new technologies with our young people and it is important that we continue our open dialogue; celebrating the huge benefits that screens afford us whilst securing firm boundaries and healthy habits for our children. We are delighted that as a result of our pioneering approach in the area of smart phones the Children’s Commissioner, Anne Longfield, has asked to visit the school and meet with students next week. This is an exciting opportunity to discuss our approaches as a school and possible next steps. -
The Novelist As Engineer
The Novelist as Engineer A thesis on credible engineering components of fiction novels (supplemented by an “engineering” fiction novel) by D R Stevens for the Masters Degree in Engineering (Hons) 2007 University of Western Sydney Dedication This thesis is dedicated to Professor Steven Riley who inspired the writing of the thesis in the first place and provided encouragement when motivation waned. Acknowledgement I acknowledge the assistance of Professor Steven Riley, Professor of Research, School of Engineering, University of Western Sydney. I also acknowledge Professor Leon Cantrell who gave significant and important advice particularly on the development of the supplementary novel, (called by the new genre name En-Fi) the title of which is “Amber Reins Fall”. Thanks also go to Dr Stephen Treloar, CEO of Cumberland Industries Limited, where I am the Director of Marketing and Social Enterprises. His contribution is through the scarce resource of time the company allowed me to formulate this thesis. Finally the thesis is dedicated in no small part to Caroline Shindlair who helped tremendously with the typing and construction of the actual documentation. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, is original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium. -
Wendy Richard
Soap stars gather for emotional farewell to Wendy Richard Screen legend Wendy Richard Stars from some of Britain’s best-loved soaps gathered together on 9th March 2009 to pay their respects to screen legend Wendy Richard. Lacey Turner, Pam St Clement, Letitia Dean, June Brown and Todd Carty Albert Square was brought to a virtual standstill as more than 100 EastEnders stars gathered for the funeral of the 65-year-old, who became a household name for her portrayal as cardigan- wearing matriarch Pauline Fowler. Famed characters from the East End soap both past and present included Anna Wing who starred as Lou Beale; Letitia Dean who played Sharon Mitchell; Barbara Windsor who plays Peggy; Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt and Dot Branning's June Brown. On arriving at the church with Ricky Groves (Gary Hobbs) and June Brown, Letitia told reporters: “Wendy is going to love this.” Groves added: “We’ll have a drink for her.” Wendy's on-screen son Todd Carty - who played Mark Fowler - led tributes to the actress along with Are You Being Served's Frank Thornton and Leonard Fenton, who starred as Dr Harold Legg. Carty looked to be on the brink of tears as he arrived at the church, flanked by Cindy Beale actress Michelle Collins, Steve McFadden who plays Mitchell hardman Phil, Pam St. Clement (Pat), Lacey Turner (Stacey) and Kara Tointon, who stars as Dawn. More than 1,000 mourners crammed into a star-studded central London service for Wendy, who also played Miss Brahms in the hit sitcom Are You Being Served? and fans of the star lined the streets outside St Marylebone Parish Church. -
