non-peer-reviewed ; In sub-task 2.2 of the European Union research Programme "CRAHVI", the University of Limerick (ULIM) is to perform simulations of birdstrike against structures representative of the leading edge of a commuter aircraft. The skin of these structures is made from a metal/composite hybrid material (GLARE). The inputs to this task were as follows: • Pre-test report on birdstrike against GLARE (D2.2.4 [1]) • Experimental Strain and Load Results provided by CEAT • Video Sequences of Bird Strike Tests provided by CEAT • Experimental Test Report D5.3.2 [2] In this report the pre-test simulations [1] are compared with the tests carried out at CEAT [2]. From this comparison, attempts are made to improve the behaviour of the models with respect to the experiment. Additionally the model is extended to include details of the loading frame to allow more quantitative comparisons between test and simulation.

"The experience of being body-shamed can be painful and humiliating for adolescents. Today, young people sometimes feel like they're under siege from shaming-at school, online, and even from their own family members. Body-shaming has been linked with eating disorders and psychological issues. This informative and timely title describes the issue and provides a toolkit of actions and ideas that can help teens cope with body-shaming. Savvy teens can learn to recognize and resist the unrealistic body ideals perpetuated by social media and the fashion industry and cultivate a positive and accepting attitude toward their own body"--

This book explores the contrasting responses to the South Asian diaspora in Britain of BBC local radio and BBC network radio. It highlights the hidden history of how BBC local radio stations developed a schedule of five thousand hours a year of programmes targeted at South Asian communities in England. Local radio stations at the periphery of the BBC built deep and influential connections with marginalised Asian communities, creating the BBC Asian Network in 1989 and played an influential part in building local social cohesion. This contrasts with central BBC policy that reveals a management culture resistant to change and unable to embrace an increasingly diverse Britain - creating a problematic legacy for the BBC. Finding a New British Asian Sound brings new insights into current debates around policy and institutional racism at the BBC, where South Asian programming on local and network radio remains at risk of closure. Dr Liam McCarthy is an Honorary Fellow in the Department of History, Politics and International Relations at the University of Leicester. During a 25-year career as a journalist at the BBC he was Station Manager of three BBC local radio stations and Head of BBC Local Radio Training.

"This updated edition collects an extensive range of evidence for how people in the European Middle Ages thought about the emotional state of love, the physical act of sex and the social institution of marriage. With an expanded range of texts, wider geographical scope, suggestions for further reading and updated explanatory material to reflect changes in scholarship in over two decades, this edition is an invaluable resource for students interested in sexuality, gender, and relationships in the Middle Ages"--

"The British described themselves as 'the oldest friend' of the Ottomans -- but this was never true. At times it was valuable to Britain to support the Ottoman Empire against Russian encroachment, however by the end of the 19th century successive British Governments had begun to sponsor the dismemberment of the Empire. British public opinion and political pressure groups portrayed the Ottomans in universally defamatory terms, affecting the diplomatic actions of politicians. Politicians themselves harbored deep prejudices against the Turks and Islam. The result, through numerous incidents, was British pressure to dismember the Ottoman Empire. Treaty provisions guaranteeing Ottoman territorial integrity were ignored. Christian countries and Christian minorities were supported, even when Muslims in those countries were being killed and forced from their lands. British leaders even refused to publish consular reports that described the oppression of Muslims which would have given the lie to press reports of evil Turks. Drawing upon decades of archival research, Justin McCarthy shows how the British were anything but friends to the Ottomans."--
