description: Selenium, a sulfur analogue, is often mobilized in mining impacted areas. Oxidation of the reduced forms of this metalloid can allow release into the local ecosystem with the potential for toxic impact. A large body of work in the scientific literature has documented the food chain effects of mobilized Se in certain types of aquatic environments, with endpoints that include reproductive failure in biological communities. This work explores the biogeochemical cycling and controls of Se in mining effected environments focusing on the Western US Phosphate Resource Area in Idaho. Unique in its terrestrial environment, this large-scale active and historical mining area is currently the focus of a study of selenium reaction pathways, environmental impacts and natural or accelerated controls. We have found chemical and microbial pathways are active in the Se cycle in both areas, however the regio-specific geochemistry, temperature, hydrograph and engineering operations dominate the local release and control dynamics. This work examines natural and "green" engineered Se control approaches explored in field and laboratory trials associated with this mining area.

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 128, 73-87
description: This is the first of several papers relating to excavations carried out by the Eastbourne Natural History and Archaeological Society between 1977 and 1984, during which time two major sites in Old Town, Eastbourne were excavated-at Church Street and the Star Brewery site (now Safeways ). The excavations were part of the Eastbourne Urban Medieval Excavation Project, carried out under the direction of the writer and initially intended to throw light on the nucleus of medieval Borne and provide a pottery sequence for that period. The Church Street excavation was carried out as a rescue excavation in advance of road widening (Stevens 1978) and eventually covered 4,000 sq. metres of urban area. Under discussion here are three pits considered to have been associated with limeburning, one of which was securely dated to the 12th century.

Änderungsausbreitungsregeln

description: In der Änderungsausbreitungsanalyse wird untersucht, wie sich Änderungen in Systemen ausbreiten. Dazu werden unter anderem Algorithmen entwickelt, die identifizieren, welche Elemente in einem System von einer Änderung betroffen sind. Für die Anpassung bestehender Algorithmen existiert keine spezielle Sprache, weshalb Domänenexperten universelle Programmiersprachen, wie Java, verwenden müssen, um Änderungsausbreitungen zu formulieren. Durch den imperativen Charakter von Java, benötigen Domänenexperten mehr Code und mehr Wissen über Implementierungsdetails, als sie mit einer, auf die Änderungsausbreitungsanalyse zugeschnittenen, Sprache bräuchten. Eine Sprache sollte stets an den Algorithmus der jeweiligen Änderungsausbreitungsanalyse angepasst sein. Für den in dieser Arbeit betrachteten Ansatz zur Änderungsausbreitungsanalyse mit der Bezeichnung Karlsruhe Architectural Maintainability Prediction (KAMP), besteht noch keine spezielle Sprache. KAMP ist ein Ansatz zur Bewertung architekturbasierter Änderungsanfragen, der in einem gleichnamigen Softwarewerkzeug implementiert ist. Diese Arbeit präsentiert mit der Change Propagation Rule Language (CPRL) eine spezielle Sprache für den, in KAMP verwendeten, Algorithmus der Änderungsausbreitungsanalyse. Zum Abschluss wird der Vorteil der entwickelten Sprache, gegenüber drei konkurrierenden Sprachen, ermittelt. Die Arbeit kommt zum Schluss, dass CPRL kompakter als konkurrierende Sprachen ist und es gleichzeitig erlaubt die Mehrheit an denkbaren Änderungsausbreitungen zu beschreiben.

description: Being one of the strongest materials, ternary TiSiN exhibits a very interesting family of binary transition metal nitride and silicide systems. A novel technique to fabricate morphologically fascinating nano and micro structures of TiSiN is reported here. The referred TiSiN films, majorly constituted with cubic TiN phase, are enriched with crystalline nanoparticles, micro-flowers and faceted micro-crystals which possess attractive functionalities towards plasmon mediated optoelectronic applications. Reactivity of titanium to silicon nitride based dielectric topping on the substrate at high temperature plays the key role in nitride formation for the demonstrated protocol. The optoelectronic response for these morphologically enriched composite films indicates an influential role of photo-induced surface plasmon polaritons on their dc transport properties. A plasmonically tuned resistive switching, controlled by the surface morphology in association with the film thickness, is observed under light illumination. Using Drudes modified frequency dependent bulk electron scattering rates and surface mediated SPPs-electron scattering rates, a generic model is proposed for addressing unambiguously the increased device resistance in response to light. The featured synthesis process opens a new direction towards the growth of transition metal nitrides while the proposed model serves as a basic platform to understand photo-induced electron scattering mechanisms in metal.

description: This thesis argues that Yugoslavia and an independent Croatia used Dubrovnik's cultural heritage to define and substantiate themselves as they emerged from political upheaval, disrupted economies, and nascent institutional foundations and thus firmly embedded the tourism industry within their political economies as more than an economic tool. Through the tourism industry, the cultural heritage of Dubrovnik played a fundamental role, symbolically and economically, in their process of nation building. As an emblematic site of historic and national significance, Dubrovnik represented the freedom and wealth of culture that both Yugoslavia and Croatia as new unsteady political institutions sought to evoke. Within bolstering the tourism industry, Yugoslavia and Croatia cultivated Dubrovnik's path dependency in the sector, which resulted in its contemporary "lock-in" and mono-economy. This study of Dubrovnik will elucidate the role of path dependency in shaping Dubrovnik's economy, political actors, and social fabric, while portraying the extent that tourism has pervaded throughout all spectrums of society and distorted its local heritage. Thus, I seek to answer the following questions: How did the State's focus on the tourism industry as an economic and political engine engender Dubrovnik's path dependency in the sector? How does Dubrovnik's lock-in the tourism industry represent the State's failure to regulate the industry? How does a lock-in the tourism industry facilitate the erosion of a site's cultural heritage? Using Dubrovnik as a case study to answer these questions, this research will evaluate path dependency's potential use as an ex-ante planning and preservation tool to predict if a state is advancing towards an irreconcilable lock-in and how to intervene if it does. Path dependency makes meaningful intervention all the more difficult, because it increasingly diminishes the agency of political actors to switch paths. Therefore, as will be demonstrated, planners need to increase means for effective participatory planning to counter a potential lack of political will that can prevent developing alternative, more optimal paths.

description: Regional variation in climate can generate differences in population dynamics and stage structure. Where regional differences exist, the best approach to pest management may be region specific. Salmon lice are a stage-structured marine copepod that parasitizes salmonids at aquaculture sites worldwide, and have fecundity, development and mortality rates that depend on temperature and salinity. We show that in Atlantic Canada and Norway, where the oceans are relatively cold, salmon lice abundance decreases during the winter months, but ultimately increases from year-to-year, while in Ireland and Chile, where the oceans are warmer, the population size grows monotonically without any seasonal declines. In colder regions, during the winter the stage structure is dominated by the adult stage, which is in contrast to warmer regions where all stages are abundant year round. These differences translate into region specific recommendations for management: regions with slower population growth have lower critical stocking densities, and regions with cold winters have a seasonal dependence in the timing of follow-up chemotherapeutic treatments. Predictions of our salmon lice model agree with empirical data, and our approach provides a method to understand the effects of regional differences in climate on salmon lice dynamics and management.

description: We construct a model of an excitable medium with elastic rather than the usual diffusive coupling. We explore the dynamics of elastic excitable media, which we find to be dominated by low dimensional structures, including global oscillations, period-doubled pacemakers, and propagating fronts. We suggest that examples of elastic excitable media are to be found in such diverse physical systems as Burridge-Knopoff models of frictional sliding, electronic transmission lines, and active optical waveguides.

description: In Peruvian´s music history, the Tonadilla, as a musical genre, has not been approached with the required Depth. The Tonadilla is an orchestrated song with a humorous theme waswidely used in theatrical plays in Spain and Latin America between 1750 and 1820 and wich enjoyed a wide popularity. This article will address the subversive carácter of the Tonadilla at a technical-musical level (the use of musical modernity at service of vulgarity) and in its licentious themes. Likewise, this subversión will be understood mainly as directed against the Enlightened ideal of aesthetic beauty and even civilization, an ideal that an intelletual elite tried to impose – without much success- in the court of Lima at that time.
description: En la historia de la música en el Perú, la tonadilla teatral, como género musical, no ha sido abordada con la profundidad requerida. Como tonadilla se conoce a la canción orquestada de tema jocoso que solía introducirse en las obras teatrales entre 1750 hasta 1820, tanto en España como en Latinoamérica y que gozó de una amplísima popularidad. En este artículo se abordará el carácter subversivo de la tonadilla, tanto a nivel técnico-musical (el uso de la modernidad sonora al servicio de lo pedestre) como en sus temáticas licenciosas. Asimismo, se entenderá a esa subversión principalmente como orientada contra el ideal ilustrado de belleza estética y hasta de civilización, ideal que una elite intelectual trató de imponer —sin mucho éxito— en la corte de Lima de ese entonces.

 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Wing pattern reduced; r 2 dark; pale spots only at tip of costa, on r-m crossvein; spermathecae subequal with short necks; sclerotized ring absent from spermathecal duct; male antenna, palpus, and wing feminized, flagellomeres 9–10 lengthened similar to 11–13, lacking dense whorls of sensilla chaeticae on 1–10, palpal ratio ~2, with large sensory pit (as in Fig. 251 C. utahensis); tergite 9 apicolateral processes stout, ~2× longer than wide, broadly flaring laterally at ~30°; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite simple; gonostylus about evenly curved, not abruptly bent, entire lateral contour convex; aedeagus V-shaped, median process tapering to tip ~0.3 as wide as basal arm spread; parameres separate, apices abruptly bent ventro-laterally with simple stout sharp tip.
 Distribution. California (Napa, San Luis Obispo counties).
 Adult behavior. The mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood, and it is likely the feminization of the males facilitates finding females at a host—despite that reported C. leechi matingpair collections have only been at light (Wirth 1977). See C. utahensis adult behavior.
 Remarks. No C. leechi were examined.

description: Loneliness and Chronic pain are associated with multiple negative health outcomes. Yet, limited research has examined the relationship between these experiences. The older adult population in the US is growing and becoming more diverse, yet limited examination of loneliness or chronic pain exists among racial/ethnic minority older adults. In this dissertation I explore if there is a relationship between loneliness and chronic pain. I examine if loneliness precedes the development of pain and/or if it enhances the likelihood of developing chronic pain. Finally, I explore if these relationships vary by race/ethnicity. For this dissertation, I examine community dwelling US older adults from waves 2 and 3 of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. This study was guided by an overarching lens of “suffering” and the Diathesis Stress Model of Chronic Pain. I use multiple imputation to treat missing data. I use logistic regression analyses with covariates including important sociodemographic as well as physical and mental health variables. The prevalence of CSCP in this sample is 17%. I identify no statistically significant differences between US Born Latinos, Foreign Born Latinos and Whites. I also find that chronic loneliness is positively associated with both chronic pain and that loneliness may enhance the likelihood of developing acute pain. My results indicate possible differential effects of loneliness on chronic pain by race/ethnicity. The presence of loneliness and chronic pain among community dwelling older adults in the US is high. Despite not finding a difference in prevalence between African American, Latinos and Whites, I highlight that due to limited clinically tailored interventions for African American and Latino older adults, they may still be vulnerable to enhanced negative effects. I advocate for the enhanced screening and understanding of these common experiences and for the implementation of sustainable interventions to address the needs of diverse US older adults.
Logistics of Space, Material, and Time: Struggles and Strategies for Sustaining Art Practice

description: This research examines how artists sustain their art practice in real-life situations, despite ongoing struggles, by developing strategies that befit individual circumstances. The research originates from the reality that many young artists give up their careers due to difficulties in finding a balance between art making, living, and money-making. However, there are exceptional cases in which artists have managed to maintain their active art practice despite facing similarly difficult situations. This research began with questioning what made them different and how they acquired such differences. By setting space, material, and time as the basic elements for art making, I researched four New York based artists who have not been able to live solely on their art, therefore have had to locate other sources of income through non-art or art-related activities. This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Accepting the impossibility of coming up with universal answers to solving the precarity in an artist’s life, I chose to investigate individual cases in an in-depth manner. I collected data through interviews over multiple sessions to elucidate each artist’s perspective on their lives and the nature of an artist’s life. This research reveals that three basic elements—space, material, and time—are not fixed, unnegotiable conditions for art making for the participants. Rather, these artists flexibly handle these three elements depending on their given circumstances by integrating the availability of certain elements with their art practice. In so doing, the artists tend to take limitations and constraints not merely as a barrier to overcome but more as a source of creativity to enhance the uniqueness of their art practice. Overall, the artists are familiar with the constant mode of learning for the unclear path of an artist’s career. Although the outcome of this research cannot be generalized to encompass every artist’s career, it can be of benefit to many struggling artists who have yet to figure out their own way of sustaining their practice. Also, this research can be helpful for college-level art teachers and school administrators in preparing their educational curricula to meet the practical needs of their students who dream of becoming artists as their life’s work.
Logic in Hegel's Logic

description: My dissertation concerns Hegel’s mature theoretical philosophy. I focus on the role of logic, meant here in a much more conventional sense of the term than is usually thought relevant to Hegel’s thought. I argue that Hegel’s main achievement in logic is to attempt a noncircular derivation of its laws and materials. Central to my interpretation is a sympathetic treatment of Hegel’s claim that Kant did not have a comparably rigorous justification for logic. In Hegel’s view, the critical philosophy’s pervasive reliance on logic precludes it from evaluating the latter in a non-question-begging way. As a result, Kant is forced to ground logic psychologically (though not “psychologistically” in Frege’s sense). For Hegel, Kant’s critical philosophy is insufficiently self-critical with respect to its own logical foundations. It is therefore vulnerable to criticism on logical grounds — especially from a Hegelian direction. As I also hope to show, Hegel rejects Kant’s critique of metaphysics, arguing that its logical presuppositions are unfounded. Once those presuppositions are overhauled, the true source of the metaphysical tradition’s impasses becomes apparent, and a non-Kantian-idealist, metaphysical solution is at hand. The lesson is that metaphysics is an enduring possibility, provided it is based on secure logical foundations.

description: El texto ofrece un análisis profundo de la obra Sóngoro Cosongo de Nicolás Guillén, enfatizando su importancia en la poesía caribeña y su representación de la identidades afro-cubanas. Se explora cómo Guillén fusiona el discurso anti-racial afrocubano con el misticismo religioso, rescatando ritmos y rituales de una cultura subyugada. A través de este análisis, se destaca el papel de los cabildos de nación como centros de resistencia cultural para los afrodescendientes, donde se preservaron tradiciones y se fomentó una conciencia cultural contra la marginación post-esclavitud en un contexto cubano marcado por el colonialismo y la opresión racial. La obra de Guillén se presenta como una voz de liberación que aboga por la valorización de la negritud en una Cuba en tránsito entre el pasado colonial y un futuro incierto

Year: 2009

description: Since the 1970's the use of native plants has often been suggested as a potential answer to problems associated with revegetation of disturbed sites. However, native seed for large-scale reclamation purposes has not been available in sufficient quantity nor at a reasonable price. Thus, M. Vaartnou & Associates have initiated programs to provide a source of native seed for Vancouver Island and the northern interior. The Vancouver Island program is funded through Forest Renewal British Columbia while the northern program also involves the Alberta Research Council and the Dawson Seed Company Ltd. Results are presented from trial sites established on Vancouver Island, and sites in northern Canada. Also, progress of the Alberta Research Council in developing the northern selections as licenced cultivars is discussed, and the ongoing development of the Seed Increase Nursery and Breeders' Seed Production plots for the Vancouver Island program is illustrated. The presentation is primarily intended as an information bulletin for potential end users and regulatory officials as reasonably priced native grass seed could be available early in the new millenium.

This gives a partial answer to a question of D. Banaszewski. We also show that every extendable function g:R-->R with a dense graph satisfies the following stronger version of the SCIVP property: for every aR which has the strong Cantor intermediate value property but is not extendable. This answers a question of H. Rosen. This also generalizes Rosen's result that a similar (but not additive) function exists under the assumption of the continuum hypothesis.

description: The Organic Permeable Base Transistor (OPBT) is currently the fastest organic transistor with a transition frequency of 40 MHz. It relies on a thin aluminum base electrode to control the transistor current. This electrode is surrounded by a native oxide layer for passivation, currently created by oxidation in air. However, this process is not reliable and leads to large performance variations between samples, slow production and relatively high leakage currents. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that electrochemical anodization can be conveniently employed for the fabrication of high performance OPBTs with vastly reduced leakage currents and more controlled process parameters. Very large transmission factors of 99.9996% are achieved, while excellent on/off ratios of 5x10$^5$ and high on-currents greater than 300 mA/cm$^2$ show that the C$_{60}$ semiconductor layer can withstand the electrochemical anodization. These results make anodization an intriguing option for innovative organic transistor design.

description: Density functional theory was used to compute proton affinity constants (pKa values) for the four step-wise hydrolysis reactions of the aluminum cation (Al3+ through [Al(OH)4]−). The hydrolysis species were modelled as [Al(OH)x(H2O)y]3−x complexes. Solvation effects were evaluated combining two approaches; initially, microsolvation of the Al-species was achieved by varying the number of explicit solvation water molecules surrounding the Al-complexes and reaction partner H2O/H3O+ species. In the second approach, the long-range polar solvent effect (global solvation) was included by using the COSMO continuum solvation model in the DFT calculations. pKa values for the hydrolysis reactions were calculated using a thermodynamic cycle, and were calculated directly from the global solvation data. The computed energies, optimised coordination structures, bond lengths, charge from natural population analyses, ionic potential, and H-bonding for the Al-hydrolysis species varied depending on the solvation approach. Similarly, calculated pKa values varied for each solvation approach. Overall cumulative pKa values calculated directly from the global solvation showed good agreement with experimental data.

We examine how FNDMC satisfies exact constraints, linearity and derivative discontinuity of total energy $E(N)$ vs. fractional electron number $N$, if combined with mean-field trial wave functions that miss such features. H and Cl atoms with fractional charge reveal that FNDMC is well able to restore the piecewise linearity of $E(N)$. The method uses ensemble and projector ingredients to achieve the correct charge localization. Water-solvated Cl$^-$ complex illustrates superior performance of FNDMC for charged noncovalent systems.

description: We prove two theorems which concern difficulties in the formulation of the quantum theory of a linear scalar field on a spacetime, (M,g_{ab}), with a compactly generated Cauchy horizon. These theorems demonstrate the breakdown of the theory at certain `base points' of the Cauchy horizon, which are defined as `past terminal accumulation points' of the horizon generators. Thus, the theorems may be interpreted as giving support to Hawking's `Chronology Protection Conjecture', according to which the laws of physics prevent one from manufacturing a `time machine'. Specifically, we prove: Theorem 1: There is no extension to (M,g_{ab}) of the usual field algebra on the initial globally hyperbolic region which satisfies the condition of F-locality at any base point. In other words, any extension of the field algebra must, in any globally hyperbolic neighbourhood of any base point, differ from the algebra one would define on that neighbourhood according to the rules for globally hyperbolic spacetimes. Theorem 2: The two-point distribution for any Hadamard state defined on the initial globally hyperbolic region must (when extended to a distributional bisolution of the covariant Klein-Gordon equation on the full spacetime) be singular at every base point x in the sense that the difference between this two point distribution and a local Hadamard distribution cannot be given by a bounded function in any neighbourhood (in MXM) of (x,x). Theorem 2 implies quantities such as the renormalized expectation value of ϕ^2 or of the stress-energy tensor are necessarily ill-defined or singular at any base point. The proofs rely on the `Propagation of Singularities' theorems of Duistermaat and Hörmander.

description: We calculate the scattering $T$-matrix of $I=0$ $\bar K N-πΣ$ coupled channels taking a ladder sum of the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction without on-shell factorization, regularizing three types of divergent meson-baryon loop functions by dimensional regularization and renormalizing them by introducing counter terms. We show that not only infinite but also finite renormalization is important in order for the renormalized physical scattering $T$-matrix to have the form of the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction. The results with and without on-shell factorization are compared. The difference of the scattering $T$-matrix is small near the renormalization point, close to the observed $Λ$(1405). The difference, however, increases with the distance from the renormalization point. The scattering $T$-matrix without on-shell factorization has two poles in the complex center-of-mass energy plane as with on-shell factorization, the real part of which is close to the observed $Λ$(1405). While the difference is small with and without on-shell factorization in the position of the first pole, closer to the observed $Λ$(1405), the difference is considerably large in the position of the second pole: the imaginary part of the center-of-mass energy of the second pole without on-shell factorization is as large as or even larger than twice that with on-shell factorization. Also, we discuss the origin of the contradiction about the second pole between two approaches, the chiral unitary approach with on-shell factorization and the phenomenological approach without on-shell factorization.

description: Reports on fieldwork undertaken over the past two decades which has provided new insights into the site. The earliest settlement exhibited some evidence for deliberate planning. The only substantial building (with tessellated floors, hypocausts, painted walls and window glass) was a first century AD structure situated immediately to the south of the river and to the east of the road. During the second half of the second century this building was surrounded by a substantial bank and ditches. The settlement flourished until the early-fourth century, when it was divided into plots defined by ditches

description: We examine a model system where attractors may consist of a heteroclinic cycle between chaotic sets; this `cycling chaos' manifests itself as trajectories that spend increasingly long periods lingering near chaotic invariant sets interspersed with short transitions between neighbourhoods of these sets. This behaviour can be robust (i.e., structurally stable) for systems with symmetries and provides robust examples of non-ergodic attractors in such systems; we examine bifurcations of this state. We discuss a scenario where an attracting cycling chaotic state is created at a blowout bifurcation of a chaotic attractor in an invariant subspace. This is a novel scenario for the blowout bifurcation and causes us to introduce the idea of set supercriticality to recognise such bifurcations. The robust cycling chaotic state can be followed to a point where it loses stability at a resonance bifurcation and creates a series of large period attractors. The model we consider is a 9th order truncated ODE model of three-dimensional incompressible convection in a plane layer of conducting fluid subjected to a vertical magnetic field and a vertical temperature gradient. Symmetries of the model lead to the existence of invariant subspaces for the dynamics; in particular there are invariant subspaces that correspond to regimes of two-dimensional flows. Stable two-dimensional chaotic flow can go unstable to three-dimensional flow via the cross-roll instability. We show how the bifurcations mentioned above can be located by examination of various transverse Liapunov exponents. We also consider a reduction of the ODE to a map and demonstrate that the same behaviour can be found in the corresponding map.

Shear induced martensitic transformations in crystalline polyethylene: direct MD simulation

description: For the first time, we carry out molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of shear-induced martensitic phase transitions between the orthorhombic and non-orthorhombic (triclinic and monoclinic) phases of crystalline polyethylene (PE) in the framework of a realistic all atom model of the polymer. We show that the variation of the shear rate allows observing on a nano-sample both a strongly nonequilibrium phase transition occurring by random nucleation and irregular growth of a new phase ('civilian' way, for rapid deformations) and the coherent, or 'military', kinetics (generally considered as usual for martensitic transformations). We induce transitions from the orthorhombic to the triclinic phase according to two transformation modes observed in experiment on PE single crystals. Rapid deformation favors the transition directly to the triclinic phase, slow deformation - first to the intermediate monoclinic, and only then - to the triclinic phase. The second way corresponds to the experiment on extended chain PE. We explain this result and analyze the competition between different transformation and plastic deformation modes. Rotations of PE chains around their axes necessary for the transition between the orthorhombic and non-orthorhombic phases are executed by short twist defects diffusing along the chains. The transition between the monoclinic and triclinic phases occurs through half-chain-period translations of the chains along their axes, mostly collectively, as crystallographic slips.
