  • National Dimensions
    ONS NATIONAL DIM NATIONAL DIMENNATIONAL DIMENSIONS NAL DIMENSIONS DIMENSIONS NATIO This report was researched and written by AEA Consulting: Magnus von Wistinghausen Keith Morgan Katharine Housden This report sets out the collaborative work undertaken by the UK’s nationally funded museums, libraries and archives with other organisations across the UK, and assesses their impact on cultural provision across the nation. It focuses on the activities in recent years of members of the National Museum Directors’ Conference (NMDC), and is largely based on discussions with these institutions and selected partner organisations, as well as on a series of discussion days hosted by the NMDC in different regional centres in July 2003. It does not make specific reference to collaborative work between NMDC organisations themselves, and focuses on activities and initiatives that have taken place in the last few years. For the sake of simplicity the term ‘national museum’ is used throughout the report to describe all NMDC member organisations, notwithstanding the fact that these also include libraries and archives. In this report the term ‘national’ is used to denote institutions established by Act of Parliament as custodians of public collections that belong to the nation. It is acknowledged that the NMDC does not include all museums and other collecting institutions which carry the term ‘national’ as part of their name. Specific reference to their activities is not contained in this report. Published in the United Kingdom by the National Museum Directors'

    Liverpool Cancer Community Update May 2011 Welcome to the latest edition of the Cancer Community Update from the Liverpool Cancer Research UK Centre. This update is designed to keep you in- formed of research news, engagement activities and news from the cancer commu- nity in Merseyside and Cheshire. Please contact Local Engagement and Development Manager Emma Squibb to contribute or comment. [email protected] 0151 794 8823 or 07770 597 185 BBC features Telovac Trial The Liverpool Cancer Research UK Centre fea- tured on the BBC news on 14th April, with Professor Neoptolemos and patient Rhona Longworth speaking about the Telovac Trial. More The trial is also fea- tured in an online article by BBC Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh here. A number of online articles about the trial have since been published including the Daily Mail and Marie Claire. Liverpool welcomes Prof Dan Palmer The Centre is delighted to introduce Professor Dan Palmer, Liverpool University’s new Chair of Medical Oncology. Pro- fessor Palmer took up post in April 2011 and is based in the Dept of Surgery and Oncology. “ My research interests relate to HPB cancers (pancreas, liver and biliary tract) and incorporate basic laboratory sci- ence, translational research and clinical trials. The rele- vance of this to Liverpool is that my research maps on to the already hugely successful pancreas cancer research portfolio that Professor Neoptolemos and the team have established here. In terms of the ‘added value’ my research brings, this will largely be in the form of the development of novel drug and immunotherapies for these cancers, with pre-clinical laboratory testing followed by an active early phase clinical trial programme, again taking advantage of the already excel- lent infrastructure here in terms of labs, the Pancreas Biomedical Research Unit, the Liverpool ECMC, the Liverpool Cancer Trials Unit and, of course, the CRUK Centre.

Opinions vary about this, but numerous examples of successful online media campaigns abound, such as Barack Obama‟s use of social media during the US Presidential campaign. Today, other governments are quick to utilise similar environments, and 10 Downing Street has accounts with both YouTube and Flickr, the popular websites used for video and photo sharing respectively. Additionally, marketing and communications departments in business, industry, the arts and the media are rapidly re-organising their strategies around the rise of digital convergence and in light of evidence that demonstrates the decline (or fragmentation) of mass media audiences. These circumstances are pertinent to the hosting of European Capital of Culture by Liverpool in 2008. In short, if we want to understand how audiences were engaged during 2008, we need to complement a range of surveys and reporting with analyses of online activity, which have the potential to reflect both broader media perspectives and the views of people on the street.

Ali2 1Urban Planning and Policy Department, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL 60607, USA 2School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA Abstract There is much architectural and engineering literature which discusses the virtues of exterior bracing and diagrid systems in regards to sustainability - two systems which generally reduce building materials, enhance structural performance, and decrease overall construction cost. By surveying past, present as well as possible future towers, this paper examines another attribute of these structural systems - the blend of structural functionality and aesthetics. Given the external nature of these structural systems, diagrids and exterior bracings can visually communicate the inherent structural logic of a building while also serving as a medium for artistic effect.
