Considerable Experience

In August 1939, MO asked its volunteer Observers 'to begin keeping day-to-day personal diaries of everything that happened to them, the conversations they heard and took part in, their general routine of life, and the impact of the war on it’. More than 450 individual diarists wrote for MO during the war. Each diarist had to work out their own way of ‘observing’, and to create a comfortable authorial voice expressing their very varied personal concerns and experiences. Common themes included: outbreak of war; evacuation of children; the blackout; the call-up for compulsory service; and what was thought of as ‘morale’. The diaries show keen minds struggling hard to make sense of the unfolding war news, striving to understand the deeper currents of history and future possibilities in international affairs. Other themes concerned the home front: the wartime difficulties around food and transport; attitudes to class, and the arrival of American troops; and the hopes and fears for post-war reconstruction. This article reflects on its authors' considerable experience of selecting and preparing MO diaries for publication. Editors play a prominent role in the presentation of modern life history. This involves technical and/or literary judgments (about the length and quality of texts, the provision of supplementary material), in relation to the requirements of particular publishing formats (commercial or scholarly). It also involves ethical questions. MO diaries, once submitted, could not be revised; their authors were promised anonymity. Hence publication often requires the consent of the diarists (though few are still alive) or their heirs; and measures are sometimes required to protect the identities of people mentioned.

The Relationship

One of the great challenges of lung transplantation is to bridge the dichotomy between supply and demand of donor organs so that the maximum number of potential recipients achieve a meaningful benefit in improvements in survival and quality of life. To achieve this laudable goal is predicated on choosing candidates who are sufficiently unwell, in fact possessing a terminal respiratory illness, but otherwise fit and able to undergo major surgery and a prolonged recuperation and rehabilitation stage combined with ongoing adherence to complex medical therapies. The choice of potential candidate and the timing of that referral is at times perhaps more art than science, but there are a number of solid guidelines for specific illnesses to assist the interested clinician. In this regard, the relationship between the referring clinician and the lung transplant unit is a critical one. It is an ongoing and dynamic process of education and two way communication, which is a marker of the professionalism of a highly performing unit. Lung transplantation is ultimately a team effort where the recipient is the key player. That principle has been enshrined in the three consensus position statements regarding selection criteria for lung and heart-lung transplantation promulgated by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation over the last two decades. During this period, the number of indications for lung transplantation have broadened and the number of contraindications reduced. Risk management is paramount in the pre- and perioperative period to effect early successful outcomes. While it is not the province of this review to reiterate the detailed listing of those factors, an overview position will be developed that describes the rationale and evidence for selected criteria where that exists. Importantly, the authors will attempt to provide an historical and experiential basis for making these important and life-determining decisions.

This study has been conducted to evaluate the Phonology course offered by the Department of English Language & Applied Linguistics, Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, Pakistan. The research is a descriptive evaluation study that aims to investigate the effectiveness of the course. It is based on the feedback of the students regarding the effectiveness of course contents, supplementary material, and tutorial support. A survey-based questionnaire was designed, which sought students opinions about the above three areas. The questionnaire was administered to 24 students studying at one of the 26 study centers. The data have been analysed statistically/quantitatively as well as qualitatively. The study found out that the textbook needs to be revised/rewritten with the latest teaching techniques included in it. The supplementary material needs to be made more relevant, and the quality of printed and recorded material needs to be improved.

The progress of construction is indicating fast development. Thus to set separately cash, vitality, condition, and assets, the upsurge of admixtures to concrete has expanded. Therefore to diminish the expense, here is a strain to diminution the construction time. Construction time can be decreased with the utilization of admixtures, which has have turned out to be prevalent nowadays and are being utilized in numerous lofty activities. Concoction admixtures, for example, TIPA, TEA are some of them. Limestone powder can likewise be exploited as a cement substitution since cement assembling causes carbon dioxide emanation bringing about impairment to the world's biological system. Expansion of such materials has brought about the amendment of solidarity of concrete. The present paper manages the investigation of characteristics, for example, functionality, compression quality, split rigidity and bend quality of M20 blend fusing various rates of TIPA keeping limestone powder consistent.

In show development area usage of common assets is expanded, this cases to decrease in accessible natural assets. Then again high volume of creation has produced a lot of waste materials which have antagonistic effect on the environment. Natural coarse aggregate is one of the material used in concrete, it causes a shortage in future and causes environmental damage. Several studies have been carried out to reduce the utilization of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) in concrete. There is need to supplementary material like demolished concrete waste aggregate, recycle aggregate, marble and granite aggregates, which are by-products from stone industries. In this experimental work, black marble waste aggregate (BMWA) was used as coarse aggregate at different replacement levels (0%, 50% and 100%) in geopolymer concrete (GPC). The compressive quality of GPC mixes was determined after 28 days of curing and then compared with GPC using natural coarse aggregate.

The Impact

PS seismic data from the Snøhvit field are compared with seismic modelling to understand the effect of azimuthal separation and incidence angle on the imaging of faults and associated horizon discontinuities. In addition, the frequency content of seismic waves backscattered from faults is analysed. The study area consists of a horst structure delimited by a northern fault dipping NW and oblique to the E-W survey orientation, and a southern fault dipping SSW and subparallel to the survey. Due to the raypath asymmetry of PS reflections, the northern fault is imaged better by azimuthally partitioned W data that include receivers downdip of the fault, relative to the sources, than by E data where the receivers are updip from the sources. Partial stack data show a systematic increase in the PS fault-reflected amplitude and therefore quality of fault imaging with increasing incidence angle. Fault images are dominated by internal low-medium frequency shadows surrounded by medium-high frequencies haloes. Synthetic experiments suggest that this is due to the interaction of specular waves and diffractions, and the spectral contribution from the fault signal, which increases with fault zone complexity. These results highlight the impact of survey geometry and processing workflows on fault imaging.Supplementary material:https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5727552
