Abstract:

This programme of work has focused on developing ways of inducing stereoselectivity into the Nicholas reaction towards the synthesis of natural products. The first chapter of the thesis reviews the developments ofthe Nicholas reaction since its discovery in 1972 as well as other applications of cobalt clusters. The following chapter describes chirality and various approaches towards asymmetric synthesis. Chapter 3 details our investigations as well as the results that we achieved in the two ' areas we explored. The first part of the project attempted to determine which oxazolidinone derivative would provide optimum levels of selectivity in 1, 4-conjugate addition reactions, and then investigate such derivatives in the Nicholas reaction. It was found that oxazolidinones bearing a phenyl group at the C4 position induced much higher levels Ã‚Â• ,rof stereoselectivity than those with benzyl or methyl groups at the C4 position. Although 4-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone provided optimum levels of diastereoselectivity in the asymmetric conjugate addition reaction of pentenyl organometallic reagents, it proved less efficient when applied sequencially in an intermolecular Nicholas reaction. In contrast, 4-methyl-2-oxazolidinone provided poor selectivity in an asymmetric conjugate addition reaction; however it was the auxiliary of choice for the corresponding Nicholas reaction providing optimum levels ofdiastereoselectivity. In the second part of our project, we focused on studying the intramolecular Nicholas reaction carried out upon optically active propargyl alcohols derived from citronella!. These were prepared from two different approaches. In the first approach, racemic propargyl alcohols were prepared via a Grignard reaction, then oxidised to the corresponding ketone before being reduced to the optically pure alcohol via a stereoselective reduction using alpine boraneÃ‚Â®. In the second approach, optically active propargyl alcohols were prepared via zinc catalysed asymmetric alkynylation reactions. After complexation of these propargyl alcohols to cobalt octacarbonyl, the addition of a Lewis acid led to the intramolecular Nicholas cyclisation reaction providing tri-substituted six membered rings in 55% yield. The results show that the reactions carried out on opposite diastereoisomers or racemic mixture provided the same mixture of diastereoisomers of the cyclised products. The final chapter describ~s all the experimental procedures that were carried out as well as the characterisation of every compound presented in this document.

Abstract:

Le but de cette these est d'etudier, a travers l'oeuvre de nicholas ray, les formes de la crise du cinema hollywoodienne et son importance dans la naissance du cinema moderne europeen, celui, des nouvelles vagues francaise et allemande. Ce travqil a ete oriente par la vision d'un dernier film, paradoxal et controver se, un film au confluent de plusieurs crise. Il s'agit de nick's movie lightnin over water, dans lequel un des plus celebres cineastes hollywoodien des annees 50, est filme en tran de mourir par un de ses fils spirituels, wim wenders, un cineaste allemand des annees 70. La premiere partie analyse l'importance de la crise dans la fiction de ray, dominee par le personnage de l'adolescent en revolte contre son pere. La crise d'adolescence fonctionne comme un modele de schema conflictuel, a l'oeuvre dans toutes les etapes de la fabrication du film, comme le montrera la deuxieme partie. C'est cette crise generalisee qui fait de cette oeuvre, en rupture avec le systeme hollywoodien, une oeuvre particulierement apte a seduire les jeunes cineastes europeens. Comment cette rencontre a ete possible, quels en sont les enjeux, c'est ce dont traitera la troisieme partie, ou on verra nicholas ray, bon gre mal gre, jouer le role du pere dans une histoire de famille, la cinephilie, grace a laquelle s'elabore le cinema moderne
This thesis examines crisis in the work of nicholas ray and the role it it plays in the development of european new wave french and german cinema. One particularly paradoxical and controversial firm, "nick's film lightning over water, which is at the crossroad of several crises, shapes the study. In this unique film, wim wenders, a young german film-maker of the 70's, films one of the most famous film-mater of the 50's his "spiritual father", who is dying of cancer. The first part of the study anayses the importance of crisis in nicholas ray's films. His work is dominated by the adolescent hero rebelling against his father. This adolescent crisis provides a model for all the other crises in the making of the film itself, that the second part examines. This prevailing state of crisis explains why these movies, breaking with the classic hollywood film, appeal to the young european film-makers. The third part deals with this relationship, an illustration of what is known as "cinephilie" and the role it played in the making of modern cinema

Abstract:

George Nicholas Sanders' involvement in regional, national, and international affairs in the mid-nineteenth century significantly shaped the history and unique character of America, as perceived by both Americans and Europeans. Sanders influenced the course of national political events not by idealistic leadership but by active participation. No one has yet written a biography on George N. Sanders, even though he played a prominent role in the annexation of Texas, Young America, presidential elections, diplomatic affairs, and in the Confederacy. Historians often ignored or slighted him because he tended to wield his influence behind-the-scenes. Hence, Sanders' true significance was often masked by the accomplishments and failures of more notable figures. Nevertheless, through Sanders' own words, as well as the letters and journals of presidents, statesmen, patriots, and family members, Sanders' activities and personality emerges. Born in Lexington in 1812 and raised in Carroll County, Kentucky, Sanders first entered national politics by organizing a meeting to promote Texas annexation and requesting presidential candidates to express publicly their position on the issue. In 1844, James K. Polk capitalized on this opportunity by supporting annexation and winning the presidency. Then in 1845, Sanders moved to New York to enter into politics and business. He became a leader of Young America, the progressive faction of the Democratic party, and also editor of the Democratic Review. His goal was to promote Stephen A. Douglas for president in 1852. Instead, Franklin Pierce won the Democratic nomination and ultimately the presidency, and he subsequently appointed Sanders Consul-General to London. In 1854, the Senate failed to confirm Sanders' appointment, voting 49 to 10 against him. His bizarre behavior, acrimonious criticism of political opponents, and close friendship with the European revolutionaries had alienated too many politicians. During the Civil War Sanders became a Confederate agent. In 1864, after numerous business ventures, he joined the secret service operation in Canada. Sanders was instrumental in organizing the St. Albans raid in Vermont and the abortive Niagara peace conference, two seemingly contradictory projects. Both were designed to achieve a favorable end to the war for the South. Finally, on May 2, 1865, President Johnson issued a $25,000 reward for his arrest in connection with Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The charges were ultimately dropped, but Sanders had probably encouraged John Wilkes Booth, although he was ultimately able to absolve the Confederacy of any blame in the plot. Sanders possessed vigor and charm, traits which won him many devoted friends. Therefore, he was capable of manipulating other people to achieve his own goals. Although Sanders was largely motivated by self-interest, he was never politically or financially successful. Despite his failures, in the mid-1800s Sanders exerted influence in national affairs, usually in the background of more prominent individuals.

Abstract:

Unique individuals are fascinating as we all want to be successful. There is thus a need to understand, unpack and share the psychological development and traits that allow some people to become sui generis, and to learn from them. Psychobiographical research is a qualitative approach that can be utilised to uncover the story of such an individual life, resulting in greater understanding of the psychological concepts underpinning the person. This form of study is invaluable, and involves applying psychological theory to lives completed or unfinished, enabling the development and testing of developmental theories. Richard Branson (1950-present), an entrepreneur, adventurer, philanthropist and family man is the single psychological subject chosen in this study. Branson was selected based on interest value, his uniqueness and the lack of a specifically academic and psychologically focused case study on his life. The primary aim was to explore and describe Branson’s personality development across his life, to date. This was achieved by applying both Maslow’s (1954, 1970) theory of optimal development and Adler’s (1929, 1956) Individual Psychology theory to provide a comprehensive idiographic interpretation of the development of Branson. To achieve this, the case study utilised the systematic and consistent collection, analysis and interpretation of life history materials, highlighting three areas of development, namely Childhood, Adolescence and Adulthood. The theoretical frameworks were used to discern, transform and reconstruct his life into a coherent and illuminating narrative of his psychological movement through life. Alexander’s (1988; 1990) model of identifying salient themes was used to analyse data for analytical generalisation (Yin, 2009). The conceptual framework derived from the theoretical perspective was constructed to organize, integrate data, and guide the presentation and discussion of findings of the study in an integrative and comprehensive manner. The findings suggest both Maslow’s and Adler’s theories considered the biopsychosocial context in Branson’s personality development and, at least to some extent, supported concepts indicative of progression toward optimality through having met the needs of the ego actualisation of his self, toward transcending selfishness and attaining altruism and social interest. The study of Branson’s personality development has provided a positive demonstration of the value of Maslow’s (1970a) and Adler’s (1929, 1956) theories to understand the process of development. It has further highlighted the unique trajectory of an individual’s life, contextualized, as well as the possibility of being agents in our own lives and despite challenges, able to become our own idiosyncratic best. The study also highlights the need, at a macro level, for governments to assist those unable to satisfy basic needs such as food, shelter and safety, to set an imperative, to aid those who struggle if a country and its people are to be uplifted. In terms of Adlerian theory, the study highlights the importance of family and early experiences in supporting the earliest years of children to assist them to develop an identity that is healthy and socially useful. Finally, recommendations were made for future research utilising a psychobiographical research design to uncover, illuminate and reconstruct the lives of outstanding and interesting individuals.

Abstract:

In 2008, Canadian artists Nicholas and Sheila Pye travelled from Toronto, Ontario to Graz, Austria for a six-month artist residency. Working within the Austrian landscape and drawing from an influence of Northern European Medieval and Renaissance art the Pyes produced The Coronation, a twelve-minute, three-channel video installation enmeshed with art historical references. Their deliberate appropriation of the triptych format and the Adam and Eve imagery of the fifteenth-century Ghent Altarpiece by Jan van Eyck place the Edenic narrative of the side panels in The Coronation in conversation with the shifting seasons and ecological processes in the centre panel, providing numerous entry points for contemplation. While this video installation suggests an exploration of the iconographic body, it is also indicative of the Pyes’ complication of the notion of the autonomous human body, its engagement with the environment and, furthermore, an emphasis on the instability of identity. Previous writing on the collaborative practice of the Pyes has taken the form of exhibition reviews and curatorial essays, concentrating on a sustained narrative that prioritizes the Pyes’ relationship. Shifting away from the specificities of a biographical framework, my research focuses on The Coronation’s attention to the interrelationality of life. Furthermore, the Pyes push their artistic practice beyond one that assumes the specificity and autonomy of an individual human body, reconstituted in the intersecting body and earth. This informs our understanding of corporeal signification as comprised of embodied social and ideological performativity. Framed by a broad ecological lens and with Judith Butler’s notion of performativity in mind, I demonstrate the capacity of the Pyes’ work to problematize the stability of physical and enunciated boundaries that demarcate the human body.

Abstract:

St Nicholas was one of the most popular saints in medieval Italy. His cult attracted the attention of popes, kings and emperors, and his shrine at Bari became an important international pilgrimage destination. This thesis asks how the cult of St Nicholas came to be so widespread and popular in Italy, and why the saint attracted the attention of diverse groups and individuals. This thesis is structured around four chapters. The first demonstrates that through a process of Latinisation the cult of St Nicholas became integrated within Italian literary traditions and within a new spiritual era. Chapter Two reveals that this Latinisation also occurred within the saint’s iconography. Chapters Three and Four are case studies of the cult in Puglia and Venice, locations which claimed possession of the saint’s relics. These case studies show that the general developments that the cult of St Nicholas underwent in Italy, identified in Chapters One and Two, did not apply universally. Instead, the presence of the saint’s relics resulted in a different profile of the saint in Bari and Venice. Through the process of Latinisation, the cult of St Nicholas became updated and remained relevant for its new Italian audience; Chapters Three and Four show alternative ways that the cult of St Nicholas gained widespread popularity. This thesis presents for the first time an iconographical study of St Nicholas in Italian art, which develops existing research of the saint’s Byzantine iconography. Chapter Four presents a profile of the cult of St Nicholas in Venice in the Middle Ages, which is a significant oversight in the literature. The thesis uses a variety of visual and textual sources, in particular fresco and altarpiece representations, archival documents from Venice and Rome (including the Apostolic Visitations), and under-exploited contemporary and antiquarian Venetian sources.

Abstract:

Le travail comporte une analyse des miniatures de l'artiste, un catalogue descriptif de celles-ci, une courte biographie et la traduction française du traité : l'art de la miniature. Fondée sur l'étude du dessin, de la composition et de la couleur à la fois dans l'oeuvre et dans le traité, l'analyse s'articule aussi sur l'esthétique et l'histoire des idées. Le maniérisme de cour rattache cet art typiquement élisabéthain à l'art continental, et se manifeste par un costume exceptionnellement développe et une attitude caractéristique : celle de la grâce. Toutefois l'étude de la couleur situe Hilliard au point de rencontre provisoire du gothique et du maniérisme et permet de saisir de façon plus approfondie et plus poignante le style qui l'a rendu si justement célèbre. Le portrait anglais prend sa source dans la conception du portrait chez Hilliard, ou se cristallise le mythe de la liberté individuelle dont l'influence est si considérable en occident depuis. (Le catalogue est illustré ; l'analyse est accompagnée d'illustrations et de dessins de l'auteur)
The work includes an analysis of the artist's miniatures, a descriptive catalogue, a short biography and a translation of the art of limning into French. While being a study of drawing, composition and color both in the portraits and in the treatise, the analysis also deals with aesthetics and the history of ideas. Court mannerism links this typically elizabethan art with art on the continent, as can be seen in the highly elaborate costumes and characteristic posture called "grace" of the sitters. However, the study of color shows Hilliard's art to combine gothicism with mannierism ; color provides therefore a deeper and more moving insight into a style that earned Hilliard such fame. English portraiture is rooted in Hilliard's conception of portrait painting where the myth of individual freedom can be seen to crystallize, a myth whose influence has been great in the west ever since. (The catalogue is illustrated ; so is the analysis ; drawings by the author)

Abstract:

The author discusses the idea of architecture criticism and its interpretation. Criticism, in addition to its traditional literary role, is considered as an act of making. Consequently, architecture is understood as criticism--i.e. a making of critical architecture. The making of critical architecture, as an activity prevalent throughout history, is discussed. Two types of this architectural phenomenon are identified as the critical zeitgeist phenomenon and the critical individualist phenomenon. The critical making of this architecture, supported by two operations or manipulations--the principles of integration and inversion, is described and illustrated. These principles are used to analyze Mannerist architecture (the critical zeitgeist phenomenon) and the work of Nicholas Hawksmoor (the critical individualist phenomenon).

Abstract:

Le gîte à Pb–Zn–Ag de Nicholas-Denys, dans le camp minier de Bathurst (Nouveau-Brunswick), est constitué de plusieurs lentilles à pyrrhotite–sphalérite–galène, encaissées par le mudstone de la Formation de Millstream du Groupe de Fournier, déposé dans un bassin d’arrière-arc ordovicien. Les lentilles de sulfures sont concordantes avec la foliation régional S1, et sont boudinées parallèlement à la faille de Rocky-Brook Millstream, indiquant que les sulfures prédatent la déformation décrochante dévonienne. Le soufre provient de la réduction bactérienne de l’eau de mer ordovicienne dans un système ouvert aux sulphates, dans une colonne d’eau dysoxique à anoxique, avec mélange de soufre magmatique lessivé des roches mafiques sous-jacentes. Le plomb a été lessivé des sédiments du mudstone de la Formation de Millstream du bassin d’arrière-arc ainsi que des gabbros sous-jacents. Le fluide minéralisateur était réduit et acide, favorable à une minéralisation riche en pyrrhotite. Le gîte Nicholas-Denys se compare bien aux gîtes de type SEDEX.
The Nicholas-Denys Pb¬¬¬–Zn–Ag deposit, located in the Bathurst Mining Camp (New Brunswick), consists of several pyrrhotite–sphalerite–galena sulphide lenses hosted by black mudstone of the Millstream Formation of the Fournier Group, deposited in an Ordovician backarc basin. The Nicholas-Denys sulphide lenses are conformable to the bedding-parallel S1 regional foliation, and are sheared parallel to the Rocky Brook-Millstream shear zone, indicating a pre-Devonian deformation timing for mineralization. Reduced sulphur for Nicholas-Denys sulphides comes from bacterial reduction of Ordovician seawater sulphates in a system open to sulphates under dysoxic to anoxic bottomwater conditions, with addition of magmatic sulphur from underlying mafic volcanic rocks. Lead was leached from the backarc basin sediments of the Millstream Formation mudstone and from underlying synvolcanic gabbros. The mineralizing fluid for Nicholas-Denys sulphides was reduced and acidic, favourable for precipitation of a pyrrhotite-rich mineralization. Characteristics of the Nicholas-Denys deposit are compatible with a SEDEX-type classification.

Abstract:

This study explores the relationship which developed between the organ and organists of St Nicholas's Parish Church, Great Yarmouth, and the Borough of Great Yarmouth and its administrative body, the Corporation and Assembly. Hitherto, most research regarding organs and organists has tended to view them in isolation without exploring the interactions that might take place between them as the apparatus of the church's music, and secular bodies, in this case the governing agencies and populace of the Borough. That the two became so entwined and that the fortunes of one were so heavily dependent on the other and hence so mutually influenced, is the key finding of this research. It has revealed how it was to separate the immediate function of the organ and its players—namely, to provide music for the church's liturgy--from what the organ represented in the eyes of the Borough; how the organ became symbolic of the Borough's wealth and status: an outward display of the power and authority wielded principally by the Borough and to which the Church itself had become subordinated. It is also shown here that the ability of the organ to channel these attributes resided not in its physical qualities as first constructed, though they represented a starting point, but in the shifting perceptions of what the organ came to mean when measured against prevailing ideas of progress and modernity. Missing was any kind of ability to attribute value to historical sentiment, though there were those for whom this did have meaning. The result was that the physicality of the organ became ever more diluted until all that was left were a few remnants such as the organ's casefront, and even that demoted to irrelevance. Instructively, the Church appears to have concurred with a perception of the instrument as a 'civic church organ', while at the same time looking to the Borough to give concrete expression to that perception.

Abstract:

The Nicholas reaction is the reaction of a cobalt-stabilised propargyl cation with a nucleophile and the aim of this project was to attempt this reaction with a chiral substrate in an effort to effect an asymmetric Nicholas reaction. A range of contemporary techniques were applied to reach this goal. Initially an attempt was made to reproduce an earlier successful racemic synthesis of a fused carbocyclic compound using a chiral precursor. It was envisaged that this would be approached using a 1,4-conjugate addition to an enone using a chiral ligand to install the C-3 alkenyl group selectively. Although the conjugate addition reactions were successful, using well tried and tested ligands, the enantiomeric excesses were very low and unfortunately a suitable chelating catalyst that prevent fulfil the requirements was not identified at this stage of the investigation. The next approach made use of an asymmetric alkynylation reaction to an aldehyde. This was successfully carried out using a Carreira asymmetric alkynylation reaction to afford optically active propargyl alcohols with good to excellent enantiomeric excess (50%-82% ees). The desired optical active propargyl alcohols were then complexed, with dicobalt octacarbonyl, to afford the corresponding dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes. These then successfully underwent the corresponding Nicholas cyclisation reaction to afford, after oxidative decomplexation of the cobalt species, a range of optically active chromane and isochromanes with ees of (45%-81%). In a second study a series of optically active benzopyran derivatives were also successfully synthesised, using the same methodology, again with high levels of enantiomeric excess (87% - 94%). In the final phase of this investigations it was explored the use of chiral derivatives of the chiral pool molecule citronellal as well as an achiral analogue in an effort to afford novel chiral aldehydes for propargylation and cyclisation. The new chiral centres were successfully installed using chiral auxiliary technology however unexpectedly difficulties were encountered in the removal of the chiral auxiliary. A lack of time, in order to further explore the removal step, unfortunately meant that this was put on hold for further studies.

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses the heartbeat and the systems of natural philosophy that were used to explain it in the 17th century. Thus, I work in two domains of explanation. The first domain is physiology, in which William Harvey correctly ordered the heart’s systolic and diastolic motions, while René Descartes incorrectly reversed them. By looking at Harvey and Descartes’ more complete physiological models I reconsider the controversy that spun out of their divergent accounts. The second domain is the junction of physics and metaphysics, representing the frameworks of natural philosophy behind physiology. I argue that Harvey’s physiology was correct while his supporting principles were “wrong,” and Descartes’ physiology was incorrect while his supporting principles were “right.” Thus, my thesis is that Harvey was “right” but perhaps for the wrong reasons, while Descartes was “wrong” but perhaps for the right reasons. Of course, this judgement is made from a contemporary perspective. By using a contextualist approach to history, I aim to show how the controversy between Harvey and Descartes resolved in Nicolas Steno, when he discovered that the heart is a muscle.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the ways in which Nicholas Hasluck's novels have been read in the past, and to develop an alternative interpretation which takes into account all Hasluck's narratives, reading them through the framework of current trends in literary and cultural theory. Hasluck is a Western Australian writer whose work takes seriously, while at the same time parodies, the institutions of both Western Australia and Western society.The initial section comprises three chapters, in which Hasluck's novels are read through the commonly used frameworks of the mystery-thriller genre and satire. The second part of the thesis, which covers four chapters, is a reading of Hasluck's narratives through the shift from modernism to postmodernism, drawing particularly on the work of theorists such as Linda Hutcheon, Michel Foucault and Brian McHale. This interpretation reveals how Hasluck's work increasingly uses the marginal, regional narratives of Western Australia to contest the mega-narratives of the West.The significance of this thesis is twofold. Firstly, this is currently the most in-depth examination of the work of a neglected Western Australian writer, and, secondly, the combining of Hasluck's literary themes and this thesis's critical framework provides a productive format for exploring issues of Western Australian history and literature.

Abstract:

Attitudes towards Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Fedorovna can be characterised by extremes, from hostility to sentimentality. A great deal of what has been written about the imperial couple (in modern times) has been based on official records and with reference to the memoirs of people who knew the tsar and empress. This thesis recognises the importance of these sources in understanding British perceptions of Nicholas and Alexandra but it also examines reactions in a wider variety of material; including mass circulation newspapers, literary journals and private correspondence. These sources reveal a number of the strands which helped form British understanding of the tsar and empress. In particular, perceptions were influenced by internal British politics, by class and by attitudes to the role of the British Empire in world affairs, by British propaganda and by a view of Russia and her society which was at times perceptive and at others antiquated. This thesis seeks to evaluate diverse British views of Nicholas and Alexandra and to consider the reasons behind the sympathetic, the critical, the naïve and the knowledgeable perceptions of the last tsar and empress of Russia.
