Philip Davies London Region Director, English Heritage Restoration of the historic environment is just as diverse. In this edition of Changing London,snapshots of projects involving English Heritage and its partners from across the capital demonstrate that ‘R’ is not just for ‘restoration’ but for ‘reinvention’ and ‘renewal’. Old buildings and places can be given back their dignity. Others are finding a new lease of life with completely different uses. Still more are being renewed by a combination of both reinvention and restoration. These projects are just a tiny proportion of the work that English Heritage is supporting and assisting across London to create a genuinely sustainable future for both buildings and places. ‘R’ truly stands for much more than just restoration.

D., Advisor Mustafa Hadj-Nacer, Ph. D., Co-advisor and Committee Member Sage R. Hiibel, Ph. D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i ABSTRACT In recent years, NASA space exploration has achieved new feats due to advancement in aerodynamics, propulsion, and other related technologies. Future missions, including but not limited to manned mission to Mars, deep space exploratory missions, and orbit transfer vehicles, require advanced thermal management system. Current state-of-the-art for spacecrafts is a mechanically pumped single phase cooling loop that are not enough to meet thermal-related challenges for future space missions. Loop heat pipes (LHP) are the solution for the required thermal management system that is compact, light-weight, reliable, precise, and energy efficient. These are two-phase systems that employ capillary forces instead of pumps to circulate the coolant. In these devices, the coolant evaporates and condenses in the evaporator and condenser, respectively.

  • Minutes of the 48Th Annual General Meeting
    MINUTES OF THE FIFTY SIXTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE HAMPTON WICK ASSOCIATION HELD AT BULLEN HALL, HAMPTON WICK on Thursday 22 March 2018 at 7.30pm Present: CHAIRMAN Mark Merrington TREASURER Carol Dukes and other members, including committee members, totalling 22. Apologies: Jenny Bourne, Christina Gore, Geraldine Locke, Tania Mathias, Fraser Wilson. The Chairman opened the formal meeting by welcoming everyone. Minutes of the 55th Annual General Meeting The Chairman mentioned two small corrections to the minutes of last year’s AGM: a “he” that should have been a “the” and the correction of Jeroen Vonk’s surname. The minutes were then proposed for acceptance by Elizabeth Foster and seconded by Chris Drayson. They were approved by the meeting and signed by the Chairman. Treasurer’s Report Carol Dukes introduced the accounts. She noted that the Association had made a surplus of £1,461. The Christmas lights and carols evening made a deficit of only £158 compared with a deficit of more than £900 in previous years. This was due to a reduction in the amount of lighting commissioned. Main sources of income were Grants from the council (totalling £3,750) and HWA memberships and donations (£1,885 up from £687 in 2016). Main items of expenditure were Christmas lights (£1,658), insurance (£455) and plants for the Library gardens (£531). It was noted that both income and expenditure were inflated by £2,000 due to the Gosling Foundations donations to Richmond in Bloom being handled through the HWA bank account. Account details are: Lloyds NS&I PayPal Opening balances £1,866.98 £3,946.05 £192.58 Income during the year £8,626.59 £ 18.60 £189.33 Expenditure during the year £7,373.11 Closing balances £3,120.46 £3,964.65 £381.91 Surplus for the year £ 1,461.41 Total closing cash position £7,467.02 1 The above figure includes £450.82 held on behalf of the Friends of Hampton Wick Library.

  • The Langdon Downs and Normansfield
    THE LANGDON DOWNS AND NORMANSFIELD Richard Husband Dr John Langdon Down (1828-1896) was born the youngest of six children in Torpoint, Devon. His father was in business as a druggist, grocer and linen draper and the family lived over the shop. In 1847 John passed the Pharmaceutical Society's examinations and in 1853 entered the London Hospital Medical School. He qualified as a doctor and became Medical Superintendant at the Royal Earlswood Asylum for Idiots in 1856, a post he held until 1868. In 1859 he was elected Assistant Physician at the Royal London Hospital and then upon his resignation in 1868 commenced in practice at 38 Welbeck Street, London W. In 1881, he moved to larger premises nearby at 81 Harley Street. He bought the White House, soon to be renamed Normansfield on the borders of Hampton Wick and Teddington in 1868 which, following his experiences at Earlswood, became a Private Home for the "care, education and treatment of those of good social position who present any degree of mental deficiency". The White Dr John Langdon Down House came with five acres of grounds and soon after purchase, adjoining properties were added so that the establishment eventually extended to 43 acres. In 1879 the Normansfield theatre was opened which served both as an entertainment centre and a church. From an initial 19 patients in 1868, Normansfield had 145 patients by the time Dr John Langdon Down died suddenly in 1896. Throughout this period, he remained Medical Superintendent and his wife Mary, whom he had married in 1860, acted as Administrator.

  • Royal Star and Garter Home
    GB 1992 Archive Royal Star and Garter Home This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 41899 The National Archives Royal Star and Garter Home for Disabled Sailors, Sailors and Airmen Archive Introduction to records The records in this Archive have mainly been collected by the Public Relations and Fundraising Department over the past few years, primarily for use in publicity material for the Home. The greatest strength of this collection is probably the photographic material which cover many aspects of the Home's activities from 1916. Also of interest is the collection of Star and Garter Magazine which was run by patients (called residents from 1976) between 1921 and 1994. Most of the more formal archives of the Home however are with the British Red Cross Society Archives and Museum. During the summer of 1915 the Institute of Estate Agents and Surveyors raised £21,000 to buy the semi-derelict Star and Garter Hotel on the top of Richmond Hill for use as a home for men of H M forces permanently disabled as a result of the Great War. They presented the freehold to Queen Mary, consort of King George V, who in turn gave it to the British Red Cross Society. The first admissions to the new Home were on 14 January 1916. It was soon clear that the old Hotel was not suitable as a hospital for disabled men. The old building was demolished in 1920 and a new building, designed by Sir Edwin Cooper, erected on the site.

  • Wick House Furnishing Study, Morristown National Historical Park
    MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK WICK HOUSE FURNISHING STUDY JULY 1971 MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK WICK HOUSE FURNISHING STUDY by RICARDO TORRES-REYES OFFICE OF HISTORY AND HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE EASTERN SERVICE CENTER WASHINGTON, D. C. APRIL 1971 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FOREWORD According to the Resource Study Proposal that authorized the preparation of this furnishing study, the Wick House served as the quarters of Major General Arthur St. Clair during the winter encamp­ ment of 1779-80. "A comprehensive study is needed to determine the, furnishings of the 18th century farm house, especially during its use as military quarters. This study will serve as the basis for a definitive furnishing plan for this key point of interpretation." The furnishing plan should be based in both past studies and more recent knowledge. In 1936, after the Wick House was restored, Historical Tech­ nician Vernon G. Setser and Junior Historian Lloyd W. Biebigheiser perpared a report on the furnishings of the house. It was put together as a tentative and suggestive guide for plans to furnish the house as a colonial home of the period of the American Revo­ lution. The report contained the best sources of information avail­ able, which were the property inventories of Henry and Mary Wick, and for comparative purposes, a number of inventories of Morris County residents of the same period. Also included were photographs of New England furniture because these were more readily available and also because the Wicks were of New England origin, a fact that was conspicuously reflected in the architectural style of the house.
