Amendment to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671: 2008) Tuesday 15 March 2011 Department of Engineering, Robert Blackburn Building, Hull Campus, 7 pm The BS7671 (17th Edition) wiring regulations were originally issued back in 2008, and the first amendment to the regulations is now due for publication in July 2011. In this lecture, Mark Coles, a senior engineer from the Institute of Engineering and Technology, will discuss the technical aspects of this first amendment.

The Design and Testing of the Neptune Proteus Tidal Stream Power Device Thursday 31 March 2011 Department of Engineering, Robert Blackburn Building, Hull Campus, 7 pm Professor Jack Hardisty will give an introduction to the background and future of the Neptune Proteus Tidal Stream Power Device. Alternative energy sources for electricity generation are at the forefront of governmental policy. In the UK the Government has committed us to meeting a target of 10% of energy generation from renewable sources by 2010 and 20% by 2020 (DTI, July 2006). Much of this renewable energy so far has been derived from wind power since the technology is now well advanced and proven. Marine renewable energy is available in the waves and tidal currents of the coastal water around our shores. It is clean and accessible with the right technology. Neptune Renewable Energy Ltd (NREL) is currently developing two second-generation, commercially focused technologies to exploit both tidal and wave resources. These are the Neptune Proteus Tidal Stream Power Device and the Neptune Triton, a shallow water-wave power device.

NREL has built a full-scale Proteus Demonstrator which was brought to the Humber in July 2010. Upon successful completion of trials with the Demonstrator, the world’s first tidal stream power array, consisting of advanced NP1500s, will be built and deployed during 2011–12.

Project Icarus – Space Plane Tuesday 10 May 2011 Department of Engineering, Robert Blackburn Building, Hull Campus, 7 pm Project Daedalus was a landmark theoretical engineering study to design an interstellar probe undertaken in the 1970s. The study was carried out by a volunteer group of members of the British Interplanetary Society (BIS), and their final design was a twostage vehicle that used inertial confinement fusion engines to reach its selected destination, Barnard’s Star. Over three decades later, the opportunity has been taken to revisit this unique design study. Project Icarus is a Tau Zero Foundation initiative in collaboration with the BIS and sets out to design a successor interstellar spacecraft, using current or near-future technology and with other terms of reference similar to those of Project Daedalus. Robert Swinney, BSc, MSc, MIET, CEng, will introduce Project Icarus and provide the latest technical details and an overview of the programme.

Decoding the Florentine Frescoes: Hidden Religious Meanings in the Church of San Lorenzo
The Chalk and Climate Change: The Greenhouse Connection
Wednesday 16 February 2011 Seminar Room, Graduate School, Hull Campus, 7.30 pm
Thursday 17 February 2011 Department of Geography, Hull Campus, 7.30 pm
Dr Patrick Preston, retired Lecturer in Theology and Religious Studies, University of Chichester
Dr Mark Woods, British Geological Survey
For the last ten years of his life, the painter Jacopo Pontormo (1494–1557) worked in Florence’s San Lorenzo church on a series of frescoes on the subject of the Last Judgment. The result shocked both the artistic and the theological establishment of Counter-Reformation Florence. By the mid 18th century, the frescoes had been destroyed. In this lecture Dr Preston, a historian of religious art, will attempt to unravel the mysteries of Pontormo’s frescoes from contemporary sources, and to discover the religious vision that motivated the man.

Wednesday 25 May 2011 Seminar Room, Graduate School, Hull Campus, 8 pm (preceded by the Society’s AGM at 7.30 pm) Revd Greg Hoyland, Director of the Centre for Religion in Society, University of York St John We live in a society in which traditional patterns of social activity are changing fast. Voluntary associations such as political parties have been losing members in recent years; rural pubs and working-men’s clubs are struggling to survive. The internet is creating virtual communities of people who may never meet in real life. What does this mean for traditional religious institutions – will they have to adapt or die? In this lecture, Greg Hoyland will consider the problem in relation to community identity. He has written on Anglican denominational identity in the city of York, and is the co-editor of Peace and Reconciliation: In Search of a Shared Identity (2008).

Monday 7 February 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus Professor Andrew L Clark, Professor of Clinical Cardiology and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist, Castle Hill Hospital Heart failure is the single commonest medical cause of hospitalisation in the United Kingdom. Its prognosis is worse than for most forms of cancer. Despite this bleak outlook, enormous strides have been made in the management of heart failure, leading to an approximate doubling of life expectancy, and for some patients remission of their condition.
Inaugural lectures
More Malignant than Cancer – The Great Medical Success Story of the Last 30 Years
Professor Clark will explore the nature of heart failure and its pathophysiology, and show how modern therapy works. The next stage of heart failure care is going to focus on individualisation of care, and he will pay particular attention to the possibility that exercise therapy, and not rest (as commonly supposed), is beneficial.

‘What Will I Do if It Doesn’t Work?’ – Consumers, Cross-Border Shopping and the Law
How Special Was the Anglo-American ‘Special Relationship’ in the Middle East, 1945–73?
Monday 21 February 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6 pm
Monday 4 April 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6 pm
Professor Christian Twigg-Flesner, Professor of Commercial Law
Professor Simon C Smith, Professor of International History
Consumers are no longer restricted to purchasing goods from their local high street, or even from traders within their own country. The internet has opened the door to cross-border shopping. Moreover, the EU is actively encouraging consumers to shop across borders and make full use of the internal market. Creating a suitable legal framework for consumers has proved to be a challenge. This lecture will critically evaluate past practice within the EU and consider alternatives for the future.
This lecture will examine the extent to which the much-vaunted Anglo-American ‘special relationship’ had relevance in and applicability to the Middle East region in the quarter-century following the Second World War.
Christian Twigg-Flesner read law and completed his doctorate at the University of Sheffield. He was appointed Professor of Commercial Law at Hull in September 2010, having joined the Law School as Lecturer in 2004 and having been successively promoted to Senior Lecturer (2005) and Reader (2008). He is also the Convenor of the Law School’s Trade and Commercial Law Centre. Before coming to Hull he lectured at Nottingham Trent University (1999–2002) and at the University of Sheffield (2002– 2004). He has written widely on European consumer and contract law. His most recent monograph is The Europeanisation of Contract Law (Routledge, 2008), and he edited the Cambridge Companion to EU Private Law (CUP, 2010). He is one of the editors of the interdisciplinary Journal of Consumer Policy and a member of the Acquis Group, a pan-European research network on EU private law. He is regularly consulted by the Law Commission and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. His current research and teaching interests include European and international consumer law, transnational commercial law and the sale of goods.

The Art of Landscape
The Ethical Gesture towards the Other
Wednesday 23 March 2011 Leslie Downs Lecture Theatre, Ferens Building, Hull Campus, 6.15 pm
Monday 21 February 2011 Allam Lecture Theatre, Esk Building, Hull Campus, 6 pm
Professor Stephen Daniels, FBA, University of Nottingham Stephen Daniels is one of the world’s leading thinkers on landscape. He was trained and works as a human geographer and is a key figure in that discipline – not least for his roles as a pioneer of the ‘new cultural geography’ and as a pivotal voice of the humanities tradition within geography. In 2011 he will also serve as Chair of the Annual Royal Geographical Society – Institute of British Geographers Conference. Yet his highly regarded books and articles also extend his influence into the realms of history, art history and landscape studies. This interdisciplinary reach was recognised with his appointment as Programme Director for the recent AHRC Landscape and Environment Programme, and he is currently the recipient of an AHRC Impact Fellowship. Further information Dr David Atkinson, Department of Geography: david.atkinson@hull.ac.uk, 01482 465352
PROFESSOR LUCE IRIGARAY This year’s Mary Wollstonecraft Lecture celebrates 25 years of Gender Studies at the University of Hull. Luce Irigaray is currently the most famous feminist writer in the world. She is an interdisciplinary thinker who works between philosophy, psychoanalysis and linguistics. She was originally a student of the famous analyst Jacques Lacan. Her critiques of the exclusion of women from both philosophy and psychoanalytic theory have earned her recognition as a leading feminist theorist and Continental philosopher. Irigaray’s writings not only provide a revolutionary rereading of the history of philosophy but also address urgent contemporary questions of political and social violence, cultural conflict and environmental degradation. ‘Sexual difference’, she says, ‘is probably the issue in our time which could be our “salvation” if we thought it through.’ In this lecture she considers how the ethics of sexual difference can be extended to other categories of social difference.

An interdisciplinary seminar series looking at the lived experience of illness Life and Temporality in Sickness Care Wednesday 16 February 2011 Dearne Meeting Room, Dearne Building, Hull Campus, 5.15 pm Professor Ingunn Elstad, Department of Health and Caring Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Tromsø, Norway Ingunn Elstad’s interests lie between philosophy (Aristotle, phenomenology) and nursing (Nightingale). This paper explores how the temporal features of sickness may warrant temporal continuity of nursing. Three temporal characteristics of sickness are discussed: the immediacy of patients’ suffering, the basic continuity of life through sickness and health care, and the indeterminism and precariousness of sickness. The timing of nursing acts is discussed. The paper explores how sickness is part of the continuity of life and at the same time threatens this continuity.

Making and Hearing Sound Monday 28 March 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6pm Professor David Howard, Professor of Music Technology, University of York We are pleased to welcome David Howard to the University again, this time to present the 11th Venn Lecture and to tell us more about his work associated with the music industry. His lecture will consider how mathematics is linked to the process of making or synthesising sound acoustically and electronically, with an emphasis on sound generation for musical purposes. Efforts made when synthesising sound are really only useful if any subtle changes can be heard by us. The second part of the lecture will therefore focus on how we ourselves perceive sound. Both audio and visual illustrations will be provided throughout the session, with references audio illusions.
