day 34 of 100 days of productivity 💌

I went to the open day at the University of Sheffield this morning! It was wonderful. It was organised, lively, and all-around beautiful. I attended a subject talk for the Physics and Astronomy department—if I wasn’t interested before (I was) I sure am interested now. I think Sheff is going to be a serious contender for my five choices.

I got home and did all of my homework. I have two tests next week so I’m going to spend tomorrow beginning revision for those. Otherwise, it’s been a nice day! It’s always fun getting some fresh air and exploring a new area you’ve never seen before. Sheffield students are truly very lucky people, they live in an amazing city.

Juvenile Hyaena tooth @ Creswell Cave

"""Take a look at this hyaena tooth discovered last week outside one of our caves.

If our Curator, Angharad, was on Mastermind, her specialist subject would be 'Hyaenas of the Ice Age', so she took great interest in seeing the tooth before it is taken to the University of Sheffield for more research.

Despite having found a number of hyaena bones and teeth within the Crags over the years, including Eric the baby hyaena, this is an exciting moment.

Hyaenas were last dated to have been in Britain around 35,000 years ago, and here at Creswell 42,000-50,000 years ago, which makes this tooth really, really old.

Together with Kevin from the University of Sheffield, it was agreed that it belonged to a juvenile hyaena, and after a little more research the tooth will be returned to the museum collection here at the Crags.

The tooth is believed to be an upper pre-molar, featuring 3 roots, all of which would have sat in the upper jaw. The shinier section would been the biting surface.""" https://www.facebook.com/creswellcrags 28th June 2022 ...from comments later, it was found during an excavation by the ( closing down soon ) University of Sheffield Archaeology Department https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/education/university-of-sheffield-archaeologists-given-two-year-reprieve-from-departmental-closure-and-staff-will-not-be-made-redundant-3708017

An "almost complete" skeleton of a baby hyaena was found previously at Creswell Crags https://www.creswell-crags.org.uk/the-collection

Hyaenas are responsible for the accumulation of much of the Pleistocene animal bone in the caves https://museumcrush.org/the-bone-crunching-cave-hyenas-that-tell-the-story-of-creswell-crags/

Proud member of the Tobias Snape Redemption Guild

Because I can't believe in a fictional world where he didn't get his shit together and make amends and then spend the rest of his (long) natural life being insufferably proud of Severus.

Studying battery cycling on the beamline

During his Ph.D. with TUoS, ISIS facility development student Innes McClelland developed a cell for testing battery materials during their operation using muon spectroscopy and used it to study an increasingly vital cathode material.

Understanding what is happening inside a battery material while it is charging and discharging is crucial to improving the performance of existing batteries and developing new materials for use in the batteries of the future.

One cathode material that is proving increasingly vital for future batteries is LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2, known as NMC811. This material has a high capacity, but often suffers an irreversible capacity loss between the first charge and discharge. It's thought that this loss of capacity may be due to kinetic barriers to diffusion of the lithium ions in the material. Understanding this issue could lead to insights that inform the design of new and improved alternatives.

Muon spectroscopy is an excellent tool for studying these materials because it can probe the diffusion of ions such as lithium and sodium on a local scale, largely avoiding interfacial or grain boundary effects. Previous muon experiments on battery materials have studied the components individually, outside a battery. Although these are useful for understanding the fundamental properties, they lack an insight into the behavior of the materials during operation.

A Palestinian lecturer exposed by the JC after she met the terrorist hijacker Leila Khaled and praised her as a “beautiful fighter” has left her employer, Sheffield Hallam University, the JC can reveal.

The disclosure – made to this newspaper by a senior university official – came on the eve of an announcement today that Sheffield Hallam is about to build a second, southern branch at Brent Cross, in the heart of north London’s Jewish community.

The lecturer, Shahd Abusalama, was cleared by an internal university inquiry that reported in February, when she was given a new contract as an associate lecturer – an event she celebrated on social media, saying she had been “wholly exonerated of the false charges of antisemitism, brought under the not-fit-for-purpose IHRA [International Holocaust Remembrance Association] definition.”

However, shortly afterwards she became the subject of a fresh complaint by a Jewish student, and the university commissioned a second investigation by human rights barrister Akua Reindorf.

Speaking to the JC, Sheffield Hallam’s deputy vice chancellor, Richard Calvert, said confidentiality rules meant he could give details of neither the second complaint nor Ms Reindorf’s findings.

But he added: “She is no longer an employee of the university. She’s not worked for us for a number of months.”

Until now, neither the second investigation nor the end of Dr Abusalama’s contract have been made public.

Rating: General Audiences

Summary: Archibald Brookes was not a fool.

And yet, people thought he was a fool.

He had a theory that it was because he was quiet. He was content to sit quietly with his tea or a glass of brandy and look out the window or at a painting or the people in the room. Perhaps the small, contented smile he wore on his face during such times is what made people think him dimwitted.

But Mr. Brookes thought it was better to keep quiet and be mistaken for a fool than to speak and reveal just how much he knew.

OR

Mr. Brookes decides to meddle with Lord Anthony Bridgerton and Miss Kate Sharma.

I was at the library from three am this morning getting coursework done, doing some seminar prep, and drawing! Managed to get the work done and submitted pretty quickly, which was nice. I love how empty the library is in the middle of the night, I practically had the whole building to myself.

Would you believe the church is actually a university lecture theatre? I think it’s such a beautiful building. I don’t have any lectures in there this semester which is a shame :(

Hey!!

I'm Hinal, nice to meet you 👋🏼

I'm a 22 year old from India🇮🇳, recently graduated and am working as a research intern at Samsung.

I enjoy listening to music, writing, watching romcoms, makeup and going on long walks. I've recently started to vlogging and hope to start my YouTube channel soon *touchwood🤞🏼

HMU if you'd be interested to connect

Love and light💖

P. S: I've joined Tumblr today and I'm a day old familiar to this platform so I have no idea how the first post should be😂 Anyhow I hope to talk to you soon 👋🏼🤗

Old trees could become renewable fuels this Christmas

A new paper, published in the ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering journal, found that pine needles could be used to produce renewable fuels and value-added chemicals, such as preservatives used in agriculture, using only water as a solvent.

Between 6 and 8 million real Christmas trees are sold every year in the UK, with an estimated seven million making their way to landfill at the end of the festive period.

Not only is this costly, but once in landfill, each tree will release 16 kg of greenhouse gases as they decompose, producing methane gas, which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2).

Earlier University research from 2018 found that useful products could be made from the chemicals extracted from pine needles when processed. With the aid of heat and solvents, the 2018 study established that the chemical structure of pine needles could be broken down into a liquid product (bio-oil), which could be used in the production of sweeteners, paint, adhesives and vinegar and a solid by-product (bio-char), which could be used in other industrial chemical processes.
