This PhD thesis characterises the damage that occurs in tungsten
when it is exposed to a fusion-like environment. The book presents
pioneering work on the use of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray
scattering (GISAXS) to measure nano-bubble formation in tungsten
exposed to helium plasma. The phenomenon of nanoscale bubble
formation within metals during helium plasma exposure can lead to
undesirable changes in the material properties, such as complex
nanoscale surface modification or a reduction in thermal
conductivity. As a result of this work, it is now possible to
quantify how nanobubble behaviour changes within different
materials, and under different plasma conditions. In 2015 the
author published the first GISAXS study of helium-induced
nanobubble formation in tungsten, demonstrating the viability of
using GISAXS for this work. This paper has generated significant
interest from the international fusion community and was selected
as one of the highlights for the journal Nuclear Fusion.

Low-budget sci-fi drama following a couple who are grieving after
the loss of their child. Rich Hadley (Jonathon Lamer) and his wife
Jamie (Theresa Layne) are distraught after the death of their son.
One night while Rich is out walking their dog he encounters a group
of people who he later discovers are soul collectors - collecting
the souls of their deceased loved ones and releasing them into
heaven through vortexes. With this in mind, Rich becomes obsessed
with the idea of finding his son and seeing him one last time
before he lets go.
Perspectives on Snare Drum and Drum Set is an instructional text
written by musician and instructor Matthew Thompson. The curriculum
was created over the course of Mr. Thompson's more than twenty
years of private and group instruction experience as well as from
his experience as a student. The text is written as a general
overview of the art of playing both the snare drum and the drum set
with the goal of getting a student to a point of literacy and
musical awareness as efficiently as possible. This goal is balanced
with another: giving enough detailed information to allow the
reader historical insight into the practical aspects of these
instruments. All of this is done in a tone and language that will
resonate with most anyone. After completion of this book, the
reader should understand all the basic concepts and techniques to
move into any other more specialized course of study without
difficulty.
Trains, Literature and Culture: Reading and Writing the Rails
delves into the rich connections between rail travel and the
creation of cultural products from short stories to novels, from
photographs to travel guides, and from artistic manifestos of the
avant-garde to Freud's psychology. Each of the contributions
engages in critical readings of textual or visual representations
of trains across a wide spectrum of time periods and
traditions-from English and American to Mexican, West African and
European literary cultures. By turns trope, metaphor, and emblem of
technological progress, these textual and visual representations of
the train serve at times to index racial and gender inequalities,
to herald the arrival of a nation's independence, and at still
others to evince the trauma of industrialization. In each instance,
the figure of the train emerges as a complex narrative form engaged
by artists who were "Reading & Writing the Rails" as a way of
assessing the competing discursive investments of cultural
modernity.
