description: Worcestershire Archaeology Research Reports, 7
description: The area to the south west of St Mary's Church, Kempsey was a historic graveyard. Excavations in 2011 uncovered 46 complete individual burials as well as remains from up to 21 others which were removed before flood defence works went ahead. The extent of the Saxon graveyard was discovered and analysis of the skeletal remains has revealed much about the health and origins of Kempsey's medieval community.
title: A Longitudinal Analysis of Socioeconomic Differences in Obesity and Weight Change During the Early Adult Years
Creators: name: Kim, Young-Taek
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2004

description: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in American society. However, not enough attention has been given to weight change by temporal and dynamic detailed social characteristics, controlled for unobserved heterogeneities nested in county and state. Using the National Longitudinal Survey Youth (NLSY79), this study examined weight change and its development into unhealthy conditions like being overweight or obese, in relation to change in social characteristics including life course events. This study also examined the social characteristics of remaining at a normal weight through all time intervals over a 19-year period. Using hierarchical linear multilevel analysis, this study found that changes in social characteristics over time could be linked to weight status for both males and females. Young males with normal weight are more vulnerable to changes in life events than females. This study's identification of risky life events among young adults could lead to prevention strategies for the obesity epidemic.

Year: 1954

description: On January 1, 1952, 50,000 head of cattle were on feed for slaughter in the state of Utah (6). This was an increase over previous years. The average number of cattle on feed for slaughter January 1st during the 1948-52 period was 45,000 head. This number was 30 percent larger than the average number on feed during the 1943-47 period. As shown in figure 1, the number of cattle on feed has fluctuated from year to year. The years with the least number of cattle on feed were those in the early thirties during the depression and drought. Since 1936 the general trend has been an increase in the number of cattle finished.

description: Die Lagerstätte Hohentauern liegt etwa 2 km nordwestlich des Triebensteins. Sie befindet sich im Karbon der Veitscher Teildecke innerhalb der nördlichen Grauwackenzone. Beim Ablagerungsmilieu handelt es sich um einen flachmarinen Bereich, der Mechanismus der Magnesitbildung ist noch nicht vollständig geklärt. Durch die Nähe zur Norischen Überschiebung und zur Oberostalpinen Basisüberschiebung wurde der Magnesit tektonisch stark beansprucht. In Hohentauern baute die Veitscher Magnesit AG von 1907 bis 1991 den Magnesit ab, bis die Grube 1997 aufgelassen wurde. Aus den vorhandenen Bohrlochdaten und Grubenrissen sowie historischen Informationen wird ein dreidimensionales Modell der aus einzelnen Magnesitkörpern bestehenden Lagerstätte erstellt. Das fertige Modell umfasst elf abbauwürdige Magnesitkörper, die in manchen Bereichen in Verbindung stehen. Trotz nicht mehr erhaltener Detailinformationen im Tagebaubereich konnte die Verbindung einzelner Körper zur Tagesoberfläche rekonstruiert werden. Die Arbeit enthält eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Arbeitsschritte von der Digitalisierung der Daten bis hin zum 3D-Modell, das in Form eines VRML-Objekts im Internet veröffentlicht ist. Anhand des fertigen Modells werden eventuelle tektonische Zusammenhänge der einzelnen Lagerstättenkörper diskutiert. Der Winkel im unteren Bereich der Lagerstätte stimmt mit der Bahn der Basisüberschiebung des Oberostalpins überein. Die ersichtliche Boudinage macht eine durch Tektonik hervorgerufene Zerteilung der Körper wahrscheinlich. Ob ursprünglich ein einziger Körper sedimentiert wurde oder ob mehrere Körper vor der tektonischen Beeinflussung vorgelegen haben, lässt sich durch das Modell nicht klären. Sicherlich wurden alle Körper nachträglich von der Boudinage geprägt. Das Geometriemodell bildet die Basis für weitergehende Untersuchungen der Lagerstätte, speziell der Variografie der Qualitätsparameter.

Creators: name: Gee, C. Kerry
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1962

description: Within the boundaries of Utah are approximately 52.7 million acres of land. About 41 million acres are rangeland, of which 73 percent is federally owned and 5 percent state owned (6).1 The portion owned by the Federal government is administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Forest Service. Most of this land is either arid or mountainous and has been used mainly for grazing in the past. IT has other uses, however, such as mining, forestry, recreation, and watersheds. Due to recent increases in population, personal income, shorter work weeks, and improved transportation facilities, these alternatives are becoming strong competitors for the use of this land.

After summarizing the motivation and the formalism, we discuss specific models, based on A4, S4 and other finite groups, and their phenomenological implications, including lepton flavor violating processes, leptogenesis and the extension to quarks. In alternative to Tri-Bimaximal mixing the application of discrete flavor symmetries to quark-lepton complementarity and Bimaximal Mixing is also considered.

title: The Study of Intended Distance Based on the Migration Intention of Utah High School Senior Students
Creators: name: Kim, Pyoung
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: This study examines the relationship between the distance 1975 high school seniors intended to move, referred to as intended distance, and socioeconomic and psychological factors. The research is based on information collected from separate samples of about 900 graduating seniors from the rural, urban and metropolitan areas of Utah. Utilizing the type of boundary that would be crossed in carrying out an intended move as the proxy for distance, it was found that 14 percent of the youth intended to live most of the rest of their lives out of Utah. While rural youth were more likely to intend to move in the overall tabulations, they were least likely to intend to leave the state. Metropolitan youth were slightly more likely to be planning to leave Utah than were urban youth.
Out of 15 variables hypothesized to be associated with the students' intended distance, it was found that community evaluation, interpersonal relations, community satisfaction, and religion, are significantly related for rural, urban and metropolitan students. This seems to indicate that social and psychological aspects of potential migrants' community life are more important than other background variables when the level of urbanization at the place of origin is considered.
This leads us to the conclusion that actual distance in the stream of migration may have different significance according to various socioeconomic and psychological factors surrounding these migrants.

description: We study the effect of perpendicular electric fields on the band structures of ABA and ABC graphene multilayers, and find that the electronic screening effect is significantly different between them. In ABA multilayers, the field produces a band overlap and gives a linear screening, while in ABC multilayers, in contrast, it opens an energy gap in the surface-state band at low energy, leading to a strong screening effect essentially non-linear to the field amplitude. The energy gap of a large ABC stack sharply rises when the external field exceeds a certain critical value.

title: The Flora of Leslie Gulch Malheur County, Oregon
Creators: name: Grimes, James W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: A study of the flora of Leslie Gulch Malheur County, Oregon was undertaken to elucidate the relationships of the flora and of the endemic species in the flora, and to determine if these endemic species are restricted to their present distribution by chemical factors of their substrate.
A checklist of native plants and a description of the major communities was made and floristic relationships were studied.
Chemical and mineralogical tests such as emission spectrography, x-ray diffraction and cation-exchange capacity as well as physical tests such as particle-size distribution and gravimetric water content were performed.
The results of the tests gave no indication of any chemical factor which may restrict the distribution of plants. A zeolite, heulandite, is present in 'the ash-tuff which is the substrate for the endemic species Mentzelia packardiae Glad and Senecio ertterae Barkely. However, this would not restrict plant growth.
It was concluded that the distribution of the endemics Senecio ertterae Barkley, Mentzelia packardia Glad, Ivesia rhypara Ertter & Reveal, Eriogonum novonudum Peck, and to some extent Astragalus sterilis Barneby and Trifolium owyheense Gilkey is determined primarily by physical factors of their substrates, and that they are pioneer species which may be competitively excluded from normal sites.
Artemisia packardiae Grimes & ertter ined. is a species which is restricted by a diminishing relic habitat.
The flora of Leslie Gulch has been complicated by interaction of a northern mesic association and a southern xeric association.
The endemic species Mentzelia packardiae and Senecio ertterae are recent species which evolved from a southern Great Basin flora which has moved north with the retreat of the last ice sheets.
Ivesisa rhypara and artemisia packardiae are recent species which evolved from a northern flora which followed the retreat of the ice sheets north.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The most general SU(3)-singlet space of gauged N=8 supergravity in four-dimensions is studied recently. The SU(3)-invariant six scalar fields are realized by six real four-forms. A family of holographic N=1 supersymmetric RG flows on M2-branes in three-dimensions is described. This family of flows is driven by three independent mass parameters from the N=8 SO(8) theory and is controlled by two IR fixed points, N=1 G_2-invariant one and N=2 SU(3) x U(1)-invariant one. The generic flow with arbitrary mass parameters is N=1 supersymmetric and reaches to the N=2 SU(3) x U(1) fixed point where the three masses become identical. A particular N=1 supersymmetric SU(3)-preserving RG flow from the N=1 G_2-invariant fixed point to the N=2 SU(3) x U(1)-invariant fixed point is also discussed.

description: Directed networks are ubiquitous and are necessary to represent complex systems with asymmetric interactions---from food webs to the World Wide Web. Despite the importance of edge direction for detecting local and community structure, it has been disregarded in studying a basic type of global diversity in networks: the tendency of nodes with similar numbers of edges to connect. This tendency, called assortativity, affects crucial structural and dynamic properties of real-world networks, such as error tolerance or epidemic spreading. Here we demonstrate that edge direction has profound effects on assortativity. We define a set of four directed assortativity measures and assign statistical significance by comparison to randomized networks. We apply these measures to three network classes---online/social networks, food webs, and word-adjacency networks. Our measures (i) reveal patterns common to each class, (ii) separate networks that have been previously classified together, and (iii) expose limitations of several existing theoretical models. We reject the standard classification of directed networks as purely assortative or disassortative. Many display a class-specific mixture, likely reflecting functional or historical constraints, contingencies, and forces guiding the system's evolution.

description: Albeit structurally and electronically very similar, at low temperature the quasi-one-dimensional vanadium sulfide BaVS3 shows a metal-to-insulator transition via the appearance of a charge-density-wave state, while BaVSe3 apparently remains metallic down to zero temperature. This different behavior upon cooling is studied by means of density functional theory and its combination with the dynamical mean-field theory and the rotationally-invariant slave-boson method. We reveal several subtle differences between these chalcogenides that provide indications for the deviant behavior of BaVSe3 at low temperature. In this regard, a smaller Hubbard U in line with an increased relevance of the Hund's exchange J plays a vital role.

A mixed-mode GPS network processing approach for volcano deformation monitoring
Creators: name: Janssen, V
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Ground deformation due to volcanic magma intrusion is recognised as an important precursor of eruptive activity at a volcano. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is ideally suited for this application by being able to measure three-dimensional coordinate changes of the monitoring points over time. Due to the highly disturbed ionosphere in equatorial regions, particularly during times of maximum solar activity, a deformation monitoring network consisting entirely of single-frequency GPS receivers cannot deliver baseline solutions at the desired accuracy level. In this thesis, a mixed-mode GPS network approach is proposed in order to optimise the existing continuous single-frequency deformation monitoring system on the Papandayan volcano in West Java, Indonesia. A sparse network of dual-frequency GPS receivers surrounding the deformation zone is used to generate empirical 'correction terms' in order to model the regional ionosphere. These corrections are then applied to the single-frequency data of the inner network to improve the accuracy of the results by modelling the residual atmospheric biases that would otherwise be neglected. This thesis reviews the characteristics of existing continuously operating GPS deformation monitoring networks. The UNSW-designed mixed-mode GPS-based volcano deformation monitoring system and the adopted data processing strategy are described, and details of the system's deployment in an inhospitable volcanic environment are given. A method to optimise the number of observations for deformation monitoring networks where the deforming body itself blocks out part of the sky, and thereby significantly reduces the number of GPS satellites being tracked, is presented. The ionosphere and its effects on GPS signals, with special consideration for the situation in equatorial regions, are characterised. The nature of the empirically-derived 'correction terms' is investigated by using several data sets collected over different baseline lengths, at various geographical locations, and under different ionospheric conditions. Data from a range of GPS networks of various sizes, located at different geomagnetic latitudes, including data collected on Gunung Papandayan, were processed to test the feasibility of the proposed mixed-mode deformation monitoring network approach. It was found that GPS baseline results can be improved by up to 50% in the mid-latitude region when the 'correction terms' are applied, although the performance of the system degrades in close proximity to the geomagnetic equator during a solar maximum.

description: We investigate the frequency-dependent radio properties of the jet of the luminous high-redshift (z = 3.2) radio quasar PKS 1402+044 (J1405+0415) by means of radio interferometric observations. The observational data were obtained with the VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) at 1.6 and 5 GHz, supplemented by other multi-frequency observations with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA; 2.3, 8.4, and 15 GHz) and the Very Large Array (VLA; 1.4, 5, 15, and 43 GHz). The observations span a period of 7 years. We find that the luminous high-redshift quasar PKS 1402+044 has a pronounced "core-jet" morphology from the parsec to the kilo-parsec scales. The jet shows a steeper spectral index and lower brightness temperature with increasing distance from the jet core. The variation of brightness temperature agrees well with the shock-in-jet model. Assuming that the jet is collimated by the ambient magnetic field, we estimate the mass of the central object as ~10^9 M_sun. The upper limit of the jet proper motion of PKS 1402+044 is 0.03 mas/yr (~3c) in the east-west direction.

Polarization of bremsstrahlung at electron scattering in an anisotropic medium
Creators: name: Bondarenco, M. V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Bremsstrahlung from relativistic electrons is considered under conditions when some transverse direction of momentum transfer is statistically preferred. It is shown that in the dipole approximation all the medium anisotropy effects can be accumulated into a special modulus-bound transverse vector, $\bm N$. To exemplify a target with $N^2\sim1$, we calculate radiation from electron incident at a small angle on an atomic row in oriented crystal. Radiation intensity and polarization dependence on the emission angle and frequency for constant $\bm N$ is investigated. Net polarization for the angle-integral cross-section is evaluated, which appears to be proportional to $N^2/2$, and decreases with the increase of the photon energy fraction. A prominent feature of the radiation angular distribution is the existence of an angle at which the radiation may be completely polarized, in spite of the target complete or partial isotropy -- that owes to existence of an origin-centered tangential circle for polarization in the fully differential radiation probability kernel. Possibilities for utilizing various properties of the polarized bremsstrahlung flux for preparation of polarized photon beams and for probing intrinsic anisotropy of the medium are analyzed.

title: Estimating Forage Production Following Pinyon-Juniper Control: A Probabilistic Approach
Creators: name: Glover, Terrence F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1966

description: An important management practice within the 60-80 million acres of Pinyon-Juniper woodlands is to convert these woodlands to open rangelands. The success or failure of seedling adapted grasses in place of trees is contingent upon the revegetation techniques employed and upon fortuitous weather patterns. In order to formulate policy for Pinyon-Juniper control decisions, persons responsible for such policies need to know the risks of introducing range grasses into given areas. This thesis is essentially a hypothesis concerning the magnitude of such risks.
Pinyon-Juniper control has been practiced widely in the five state areas of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Justification for control and conversion of the woodlands to open grazing areas rests on the assumption that the trees have little apparent utility and, therefore they should be replaced by a grass resource which has relatively greater value. In its extreme form the assumption involves the notion that the trees are actually detrimental to the productivity of the land. they become a hindrance to the growth of various forms of plant life considered desirable.
Considerable investment, primarily at the expense of society, has been incurred in the transformation process. Until recent years control projects have been limited to the most accessible sites and areas "invaded" by Pinyon-Juniper trees. At present the conversion place has slackened due to the limited number of remaining accessible sites in some areas, but more importantly to the fact that the projects have had a history of mixed success. While certain rules of thumb have been put forth to explain the nature of the factors influencing seedling emergence and increased forage production, these are so volatile that an apprehension of failure exists among land managers.
The intensity of investment can only be balanced against risk levels if there is basic understanding of the roles played by the variables influencing seedling establishment and forage increase. Both policy and nonpolicy (not subject to human manipulation) variables must be identified and their influences upon success measured.
The analysis that follows begins by setting forth the objectives to be achieved in evaluating the tree conversion process and its associated risk. Next a theory of range grass seedling establishment is presented. The appropriate variables are identified and an "establishment" model is applied to the empirical data. A third section specifically treats weather as a major influence upon seedling emergence and forage production. A model expressed in probabilistic terms, employing the Markov property is applied to available data to evaluate weather index movements. Finally having dealt with emergence, a theory is developed to explain expected forage production in the period following emergence. The parameters of the associated model are obtained from empirical data.
title: The Effect of DDT upon the Digestion and Utilization of Certain Nutrients by Dairy Calves
Creators: name: Bohman, Verle R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1951

description: Origin and purpose of research
Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane or DDT as it is more commonly known, was first used extensively by the armed forces in the Pacific Area during World War II. This insecticide is not only a very toxic contact and stomach poison, but also is quite residual on most types of surfaces. Because of these qualities, it was selected to control the malaria mosquito and thus aided in the conquest of many disease-ridden islands of the Pacific.
When DDT became available to the general public after the war, it was found not only to be effective against mosquitoes but also many other types of insects. Among these insects are the alfalfa weevil (Hypera postica hon.) and lygus bugs (Lygus elisus Van D., Lygus hesperus Knight) that had previously impaired the production of alfalfa in Utah and other areas. Although treatment of alfalfa fields is usually confined to alfalfa for seed production, DDT-dusted alfalfa straw and DDT dusted alfalfa hay are fed to farm livestock.
In ruminant animals, microorganisms play an important role in the synthesis of protein from nitrogenous non-protein compounds and also aid in the break-down of many complex plant materials so that they may be more fully utilized by these animals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of DDT upon the role played by the microflora and fauna of the rumen in the synthesis, digestion and utilization of certain nutrients by dairy calves.
Scope
Digestion and balance studies were conducted with Holstein bull calves fed different levels of DDT and protein equivalent in the ration. The experiment was designed so that each calf would receive one level of DDT throughout the experiment, and would receive a low protein basal diet plus three additional levels of protein equivalent. These additional protein levels were made up by adding a nitrogenous non-protein compound, urea, to the basal diet to give an increased level of protein equivalent in the diet.
The nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus balance and the digestibility of dry matter, protein, and ether extract were determined.

description: The angular power spectrum of HI 21 cm opacity fluctuations is a useful statistic for quantifying the observed opacity fluctuations as well as for comparing these with theoretical models. We present here the HI 21 cm opacity fluctuation power spectrum towards the supernova remnant Cas A from interferometric data with spacial resolution of 5" and spectral resolution of 0.4 km/s. The power spectrum has been estimated using a simple but robust visibility based technique. We find that the power spectrum is well fit by a power law P_tau(U) = U^{alpha} with a power law index of alpha ~ -2.86 +/- 0.10 (3 sigma error) over the scales of 0.07 - 2.3 pc for the gas in the Perseus spiral arm and 0.002 - 0.07 pc (480 - 15730 au) for that in the Local arm. This estimated power law index is consistent with earlier observational results based on both HI emission over larger scales and absorption studies over a similar range of scales. We do not detect any statistically significant change in the power law index with the velocity width of the frequency channels. This constrains the power law index of the velocity structure function to be beta = 0.2 +/- 0.6 (3 sigma error).

description: The Middle Cambrian Wheeler Formation is interpreted as having been deposited in the shallow ramp and deeper basin environments of the House Range embayment (HRE), presumably, during a single third-order sequence. In the Drum Mountains, the Wheeler Formation (295 m thick) is dominated by proximal and distal ramp deposits; at Ma~um Pass, the Wheeler Formation (190m thick) is dominated by basinal shale deposits. The Wheeler Formation contains only one biozone marker; the first appearance of Ptyhagnostus atavus. Lack of other chronostratigraphic markers and distinctive stratal patterns in the basinal facies makes correlation along this ramp-to-basin transect difficult. Therefore, carbon-isotope stratigraphy and total organic carbon analysis were tested for their utility as intra basinal correlation tools.
813Ccarbonate isotope values range from -1.7% to 0.07%o (PDB) at Marjum Pass and -1.1% to 1.4% (PDB) in the Drum Mountains; previously reported 813Ccarbonate values in the Great Basin for this time interval range between -2% to 2% (PDB). Both localities show small-scale isotope variability, however, this variability is thought to be the result of local isotopic effects and was not used for correlation. TOC values obtained from both sections increase upsection, define a distinct peak, then decrease upsection. These peaks are associated with shale facies and occur near the maximum flooding surface in both sections, indicating that the TOC results could be used for correlation between sections.
The lithologic cyclicity recognized in the shallow-water deposits at the Drum Mountains locality have also been recognized in the deeper-water deposits at Ma~um Pass. At each locality the meter-scale cycles shallow upward and display similar stacking patterns. Because cyclicity is preserved in both sections and the total stratigraphic thickness and cycle thickness decrease toward the embayment-controlling fault, it is probable that the cyclicity was the result of small-scale eustatic changes in sea level rather than episodic tectonism.
This ramp-to-basin correlation also supportS the validity of P. atavus as a global biostratigraphic marker. The first appearance of Ptydnagostus atavus has been found below the interpreted maximum flooding surface and was coeval with transgression in both localities, indicating that its appearance was likely synchronous.

title: Cultural Entropy: A Grounded Theory Study of Early Childhood Experiences in Nature in the Arroyo Grande Creek Watershed
Creators: name: Millard, Nathaniel Miles
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Through a grounded theory methodology data collection around early childhood experiences with nature leading towards positive civic engagement with the community, the theory of cultural entropy emerged along with a policy recommendation for reconnecting the community to the local watershed.
Through qualitative interviews with lifelong residents and analysis of essays from local high school students comparing early experiences with nature, the theory of cultural entropy emerged to explain how perceptions and interactions with the local landscape changed across generations. With the help of key information interviews, archival research, and exploration of the local watershed, cultural entropy was used to theorize how the work culture should do towards protecting and passing along ecological, cultural, and historical knowledge that might help increase civic engagement.
Lifelong residents participating in the research were found to have high levels of civic engagement through participation with the local historical society and/or recommendations from people because of their involvement with the community. More than any other theme, the importance of the Arroyo Grande Creek emerged as a significantly early experience in nature amongst all lifelong residents. In contrast, this experience was completely gone from the early experiences by the high school students participating in this study. Creation of the dam, channelization of the creek, and invasive species introduction have almost eliminated access to the creek, and invasive species introduction have almost eliminated access to the creek. Very little evidence was found along the entire stretch of creek from dam to ocean of kids playing in the creek. This is theorized to be a product of larger cultures from outside this local ecosystem diffusing into the local culture, creating disconnect from local ecosystem knowledge.
A policy recommendation is to create an interpretive greenbelt system along an already existing dirt farm road controlled by local agricultural land, promoting community engagement with the local watershed. Because so much of the key ecological, historical, and cultural knowledge of the area centers around the watershed, it is hypothesized that a greenbelt system has potential for reversing cultural entropy, increasing ecological, historical, and cultural knowledge of the area, and promoting civic engagement.

description: We experimentally investigate jamming in a quasi-two-dimensional granular system of automatically swelling particles and show that a maximum in the height of the first peak of the pair correlation function is a structural signature of the jamming transition at zero temperature. The same signature is also found in the second peak of the pair correlation function, but not in the third peak, reflecting the underlying singularity of jamming transition. We also study the development of clusters in this system. A static length scale extracted from the cluster structure reaches the size of the system when the system approaches the jamming point. Finally, we show that in a highly inhomogeneous system, friction causes the system to jam in series of steps. In this case, jamming may be obtained through successive buckling of force chains.

description: Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit steht die Untersuchung des Phänomens der Globalisierung auf lokaler Ebene. In der politischen Auseinandersetzung um die Deutungshoheit wird im politikwissenschaftlichen Diskurs oftmals die Bedeutung der Auswirkung jener radikalen Umwälzung (Strukturrevolution) durch eine sich globalisierende Wirtschaft in Regionen fernab von hegemonialen Machtzentren unterschätzt. Für die sachadäquate Untersuchung werden zum einen mögliche Forschungsmethoden zur Annäherung an das Problem mit ihren Stärken und Schwächen ausführlich diskutiert. Nach Abwägung qualitativer, quantitativer und der dialektischen Methode, wird mit Verwendung der auf Ezra Park (Chicago School) fußenden freien unstrukturierten teilnehmenden Beobachtung jene Strukturrevolution am Beispiel der Insel Algodoal-Maiandeua im Norden Brasiliens untersucht.

description: We find a new black hole in three dimensional anti-de Sitter space by introducing an anisotropic perfect fluid inspired by the noncommutative black hole. This is a regular black hole with two horizons. We compare thermodynamics of this black hole with that of non-rotating BTZ black hole. The first-law of thermodynamics is not compatible with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

description: On the basis of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, a theory of Casimir forces in the presence of on linearly amplifying bodies is presented which provides a consistent framework for studying the effect of, e.g., amplifying left-handed metamaterials on dispersion forces. A general formula for the Casimir force acting on an amplifying body is derived. It is shown that the force can be given in terms of the classical Green tensor and that it can be decomposed into a resonant component associated with emission processes and an off-resonant Lifshitz-type component looking formally the same as for a purely absorbing body. It is explicitly demonstrated that the result generalizes microscopic approaches beyond the perturbative domain: In the dilute-gas limit, the force acting on an amplifying body reduces to a sum over the Casimir--Polder forces acting on the excited body atoms.
