Identification of environmental sounds
Creators: name: Spanik, Christiane Susan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the processing of environmental sound, and to compare this to the processing of spoken language. This was done by conducting an identification experiment using the gating paradigm to assess the on-line processing of environmental sounds. In this experiment, twenty participants identified brief, isolated segments of environmental sounds and reported a confidence rating for their responses. Additional context was provided by gating the original recordings in both the preceding and following directions. Eight different recordings of environmental sound were presented, with each listener hearing additional segments of each recording in either the preceding or following direction. It was found that identification performance improved with addition of context in both directions of context, suggesting that as with language, there are context effects in environmental sound processing. Unlike language, however, there is no clear effect of direction of context. There was some evidence that high-context sound sequences were more easily identified than low-context sound sequences, but these results were not consistent. An error analysis provided strong evidence that the process of environmental sound identification entails the activation of a cohort, which is compelling evidence that there may be some similarities in the auditory processing language and environmental sound. It appears that item identification in these two types of auditory input may be similar, with bottom-up processes activating an initial cohort based primarily on acoustic information, and top-down processes narrowing the size of the cohort as more information becomes available.

description: For many years, the literature concerning agricultural knowledge transfer has emphasised the importance of using processes designed around the needs of the target population, rather than those of the providers. This paper reports on the AgriNet project in South West England, whose essential feature was the use of minibuses converted into mobile computer facilities. This enabled the project team to take training in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to even the most remote rural areas in the region, parking in farmyards, pub carparks, and at village halls. Working closely with various community groups, especially Young Farmers Clubs, the project acquired another 80 laptops and created a ‘cascading’ process in parallel with its use of the buses – individuals would be trained to train others, and provided with a loaned laptop to make it possible. This paper reflects on a project which achieved more than double its targets, and raises questions about the use of project-type funding to meet endemic problems.

description: The economic analysis of chosen plant production in big agricultural enterprises in sustainable development aspect is the aim of the paper. The results of the research indicated, that it is possible to use environmentally friendly technologies if economic motivation system stimulating their development is created. These technologies can be characterised by low level of direct costs with profitable indexes at the same time. The advantage of using such technologies is profitable index of production with obtaining middle yields which is essential from the point of view of food over-production and obtaining more healthy food.

description: Starting in mid 2004 and as a result of an increasing domestic and foreign demand, pressure was put on prices of a staple food in Argentina: beef. The government reacted by launching an aggressive plan to fight inflation which included prices control programs, slaughter restrictions and finally, when these measures were not enough, export bans. But such policies, in any case, are short-run, circumstantial measures that do not attack the root of the problem. When it is true that hadn't had the government intervened in the sector both farm and retail prices would have been higher than what they were, the cost of the intervention has been harmful for the economy and it did not solve the real structural problem. Cattlemen blame the government that the constant change in the rules is detrimental to investment and development that go hand by hand with production. The ban on exports has damaged the country's image as a reliable supplier when international contracts had to be broken. Moreover, the latest shifts in trade flows within the Mercosur members should be read as a sign of warning to the Argentinean authorities when deciding to isolate the country, since markets unattended by Argentina quickly find alternative sources of supply even within Argentina's neighbors.

description: Kamut® is a registered trademark cereal (an organic crop) whose origins are much older; it has Egyptian origins and at the present time it is grown in different areas of the world (mainly in Montana and Canada), but considering the agronomic requirements of this crop, the tests in Thailand are the most reliable. Evaluation of the interest of retail distribution chains for Kamut-based products belongs to the researches regarding the evaluation of the quality food products trade. In this case, countries involved are Thailand, one of the most important producers, and Italy, one of the most important market of the EU. Qualitative analysis technique was the most appropriate tool. This survey consisted of in-depth semi-structured interviews directed at Italian large scale retails (purchasing and marketing managers). The final information were obtained through a subjective analysis of the content of the interviews' summaries, a statistical analysis of the content of the interviews and the creation of conceptual positioning maps. The awareness of the product, the communicative factor, the consumers' reactions, the specific requirements of the distribution chains and production areas are some of the most important elements that can influence the creation and the development of a international trade relationship.

description: Presently the behavioral features of the organic producers could be concluded as the fact that they are quite confident of the prospects for organic agriculture, while heavily dependent on the guidance and support of the local governments; are in great demand for technological innovation, while in the distinguished intimacy and poor pricing capacity. Such problems as low economic benefit, the imperfect marketing network and serious external economy, are threatening the healthy development of organic agriculture in Xinjiang. In this essay, it is suggested that the government should, taking full advantage of its rich natural resources, pay great attention to the organic development in the local region; establish an efficient organic marketing network; apply the innovation mechanism as a proper compensation for the external economy; promote organic circle economy.

description: In this paper we discuss the relations between the increased quality standards of traditional food products and the structuring and management of the value chain. We address the importance of different quality dimensions, and how they are combined in superior strategic configurations to achieve competitive advantage in particular in up market segments. We elaborate on the competitive positioning tools and the resource configuration of the value chain necessary for creating sustainable competitive advantage for small and medium-sized enterprises. We present results from 11 in-depth interviews with representatives from the fragmented Norwegian value chain for lamb products. The results show that to achieve customer-oriented differentiation focus effect and at the same time be competitive on price you have to include rigid regimes of coordination and control throughout the value chain. Implications for management of the value chain and contract relations between the actors in the chain are discussed.

description: The "Brownian bees" model describes a system of $N$ independent branching Brownian particles. At each branching event the particle farthest from the origin is removed, so that the number of particles remains constant at all times. Berestycki et al. (2020) proved that, at $N\to \infty$, the coarse-grained spatial density of this particle system lives in a spherically symmetric domain and is described by the solution of a free boundary problem for a deterministic reaction-diffusion equation. Further, they showed that, at long times, this solution approaches a unique spherically symmetric steady state with compact support: a sphere which radius $\ell_0$ depends on the spatial dimension $d$. Here we study fluctuations in this system in the limit of large $N$ due to the stochastic character of the branching Brownian motion, and we focus on persistent fluctuations of the swarm size. We evaluate the probability density $\mathcal{P}(\ell,N,T)$ that the maximum distance of a particle from the origin remains smaller than a specified value $\ell\ell_0$, on a time interval $0

description: This paper investigates the relationship between the chosen quality strategy and the vertical co-ordination mechanism of a focal company by using new institutional economics, as well as strategic management approaches. The theoretical findings are tested using evidence from 19 of the largest Polish dairy cooperatives, surveyed in spring 2006. The results show that all co-ops recognise the changing market requirements and are treating food quality as more than plain food safety and the ability to continuously reproduce an ex ante defined set of attributes. However, compared to investor-owned dairies, co-ops are disadvantaged in quality-based competition due to their lower flexibility and access to financial and qualified human resources. To overcome this intense competition, co-ops modify their production profile, which leads to market segmentation. Moreover, the choice of quality strategy is an economic activity, guided by the co-op's profit expectations within the selected market. The chosen quality strategy determines the design of the vertical co-ordination mechanism. Thus, the higher the requirements for the final product, the further quality management systems go beyond a firm's boundaries, and the higher is the intensity of the relationships between the intermediary stages in the dairy chain.

description: The Battle of Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War is perhaps the hardest fought battle in American history. "On 27 November 1950, the Chinese force surprised the US X Corps commanded by Major General Edward Almond at the Chosin Reservoir area. A brutal 17-day battle in freezing weather soon followed. Between 27 November and 13 December, 30,000 United Nations Command troops (later nicknamed "The Chosin Few") under the field command of Major General Oliver P. Smith were encircled and attacked by about 120,000 Chinese troops."
"We're surrounded. Good, that simplifies the problem……we're not retreating, we're attacking in a different direction."  Chesty Puller
Chosin Reservoir Esprit de Corps vs Allport's 1927 taboo, "There is no psychology of groups"
As Claudia Nielsen pointed out, the psychiatrist McGilChrist astutely observed that "The scope of inquiry and understanding of the Materialist Doctrine with its rigid adherence to the actually arbitrary principle of quantification and over-emphasis on physiological characteristics is severely restricted and limited in the analyses that can be performed."
An excellent example of this severely restricted protocol would be - as Kay Deux, a social psychologist points out the fixation of social psychology on laboratory experiments precludes "affective displays" and emotions. Kay Deaux, a prominent social psychologist, highlights the significance and importance of emotions especially in understanding many social, political or group related behaviors. Kay Deaux, emphasizes the fact that social psychology has historically had an "emphasis on experimenter-created social groups" which "precluded most affective displays." Experiments conducted in a laboratory would necessarily have a contrived and arbitrary aspect to them – very limited - and in that environment, cognitive concepts, structures and paradigms tend to be nice, neat, and precise constructs that are measurable in some sense.
Kay Deux goes on to emphasize that "In contrast, natural groups, whether family, fraternity, or nation, are often the arena for intense displays of emotion and strong affective ties." (p. 794 Social Psychology Handbook of Basic Principles edited by E. Tory Higgins and Arie W. Kruglanski) That is, the Materialist Doctrine - Ideology excludes some facts, information and evidence due to the fixation on physiological quantification.

description: The strong constraints from the Fermi-LAT data on the isotropic gamma-ray background suggest that the neutrinos observed by IceCube might possibly come from sources that are hidden to gamma-ray observations. A possibility recently discussed in the literature is that neutrinos may come from jets of collapsing massive stars which fail to break out of the stellar envelope, and for this reason they are known as choked jets, or choked Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). In this paper, we estimate the neutrino flux and spectrum expected from these sources, focusing on Type II SNe. We perform detailed calculations of pg interactions, accounting for all the neutrino production channels and scattering angles. We provide predictions of expected event rates for operating neutrino telescopes, such as ANTARES and IceCube, as well as for the future generation telescope KM3NeT. We find that for GRB energies channeled into protons spanning between 10^51 - 10^53 erg, choked GRBs may substantially contribute to the observed astrophysical neutrino flux, if their local rate is 80 - 1 Gpc^-3 yr^-1 respectively.

description: We consider a time series model involving a fractional stochastic component, whose integration order can lie in the stationary/invertible or nonstationary regions and be unknown, and an additive deterministic component consisting of a generalized polynomial. The model can thus incorporate competing descriptions of trending behavior. The stationary input to the stochastic component has parametric autocorrelation, but innovation with distribution of unknown form. The model is thus semiparametric, and we develop estimates of the parametric component which are asymptotically normal and achieve an M-estimation efficiency bound, equal to that found in work using an adaptive LAM/LAN approach. A major technical feature which we treat is the effect of truncating the autoregressive representation in order to form innovation proxies. This is relevant also when the innovation density is parameterized, and we provide a result for that case also. Our semiparametric estimates employ nonparametric series estimation, which avoids some complications and conditions in kernel approaches featured in much work on adaptive estimation of time series models; our work thus also contributes to methods and theory for nonfractional time series models, such as autoregressive moving averages. A Monte Carlo study of finite sample performance of the semiparametric estimates is included.

description: Using a hydrodynamical model we study how the order of phase transition in the equation of state of strongly interacting matter affects single particle spectra, elliptic flow and higher order anisotropies in Au+Au collisions at RHIC (sqrt{s_NN}=200 GeV energy). We find that the single particle spectra are independent of the order of phase transition and that the fourth harmonic v_4(p_T) shows only a weak dependence in the p_T region where hydrodynamics is expected to work. The differential elliptic flow, v_2(p_T), of baryons shows the strongest dependence on equation of state. Surprisingly the closest fit to data was obtained when the equation of state had a strong first order phase transition and a lattice inspired equation of state fits the data as badly as a purely hadronic equation of state.

description: This paper deals with the relationship between international travelling and trade. For this purpose we focus on a particular case study: the connection between the Spanish wine exports to Germany and the German travellers to Spain. Unlike previous studies we use a methodology based on fractional vector autoregressive models, which permits us to compute the impulse responses in a similar way as in the standard VAR case. The results show that the orders of integration of the two series are constrained between 0 and 1, being higher for the arrivals series than for the exports. The impulse response analysis reveals that an increase in travelling produces a positive initial impact on trade though it tends to disappear in the long run.

Public warehouses, operated as an independent business offering a range of services, such as storage, handling and transportation. "Licensed Warehousing Law", was accepted on 10.02.2005 and this is a new subject in Turkey. In this research, the licensed warehousing system in Turkey is evaluated from the point of view of industrial and agriculture officials. Confidential face to face interviews were held with the authorities of Industry and Trade Ministry in Ankara. The very new licensed warehousing law connote many questions. Who will be getting the benefits of qualified storing, small-sized enterprises or big ones? What will be benefits to producers, product markets, and government? Are all the necessary legal, institutional, and technical enabling ready? During the study, authorities of Industry and Trade Ministry has met, qualified storing law and its system, function, benefits, world samples information were given by using literatures, then action of the qualified storing system in Turkey and its possible problems were discussed.

description: Although interesting in themselves, extragalactic sources emitting in the microwave range (mainly radio-loud active galactic nuclei and dusty galaxies) are also considered a contaminant from the point of view of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments. These sources appear as unresolved point-like objects in CMB measurements because of the limited resolution of CMB experiments. Amongst other issues, point-like sources are known to obstruct the reconstruction of the lensing potential, and can hinder the detection of the Primordial Gravitational Wave Background for low values of $r$. Therefore, extragalactic point-source detection and subtraction is a fundamental part of the component separation process necessary to achieve some of the science goals set for the next generation of CMB experiments. As a previous step to their removal, in this work we present a new filter based on steerable wavelets that allows the characterization of the emission of these extragalactic sources. Instead of the usual approach of working in polarization maps of the Stokes' $Q$ and $U$ parameters, the proposed filter operates on E- and B-mode polarization maps. In this way, it benefits from the lower intensity that, both, the CMB, and the galactic foreground emission, present in B-modes to improve its performance. To demonstrate its potential, we have applied the filter to simulations of the future PICO satellite, and we predict that, for the regions of fainter galactic foreground emission in the 30 GHz and 155 GHz bands of PICO, our filter will be able to characterize sources down to a minimum polarization intensity of, respectively, 125 pK and 14 pK. Adopting a $Π=0.02$ polarization degree, these values correspond to 169 mJy and 288 mJy intensities.

description: High sensitivity observations of Halpha polarization of 30 flares of different sizes and disk positions are reported. Both filter and spectrographic techniques have been used. The ZIMPOL system eliminates spurious polarizations due to seeing and flat-field effects. We didn't find any clear linear polarization signature above our sensitivity level which was usually better than 0.1%. The observations include an X17.1 flare with gamma-ray lines reported by the RHESSI satellite. These results cast serious doubts on previous claims of linear polarization at the one percent level and more, attributed to impact polarization. The absence of linear polarization limits the anisotropy of energetic protons in the H$α$ emitting region. The likely causes are isotropization by collisions with neutrals in the chromosphere and defocusing by the converging magnetic field.

description: The reptitions of tandem axleloads applied to the AASHO Road Test were analyzed by the same method previously reported in analyzing the corresponding single axleload data. The essential findings were: 1. One repetition of a 34-kip (151-kN) tandem axleload appears to cause the same damage as one repetition of an 18-kip (80-kN) single axleload. 2. The relationship of log repetitions versus axleload used by Kentucky appear to be equally valid for single and tandem axleloads. 3. The use of superposition principles, and equivalency of repetitions, in combination with terminal serviceability indiced permitted analyses of the tandem axleload data and comparison with equivalent Kentucky thickness designs converted to the AASHTO structural number. 4. The single axleload analyses were combined with the tandem axleload analyses and superimposed by Kentucky equivalent designes. The Kentucky designs, based upon elastic theory, encompassed 89 percent of the AASHO Road Test data.

description: Counterfeiting is a growing and increasingly dangerous phenomenon. There has recently been an enormous growth in the illegal market for designer goods with a 'name' or trademark (counterfeit goods), as well as goods made without paying for the intellectual property rights (pirated goods). Quite apart from having economic consequences, counterfeited and pirated articles threaten the health and safety of EU citizens, their jobs, Community competitiveness, trade, and investment in research and innovation. The agrofood italian production , famous all over the world for their qualitative characteristics, it reenters among the products that are imitated. The imitation of such products certainly risks to damage the Italian productions, above all in comparison to the parameters of the quality and the food safety, both instruments of marketing used by the Italian producers in the international markets. The purpose of the paper is develop a collective understanding of the extent of the food (agro-food) counterfeit problem. The carrying out of the study foresees, initially, to consider the volumes of counterfeit commodities to world level and the politics harvest in action from the various countries to oppose this phenomenon. Subsequently the agrofood productions will be analyzed, and particularly those Italian, object of imitation trying to quantify their characteristcs and to measure its effects on the economic systems.

description: Problématique : Dès l’annonce d’une tumeur cérébrale et tout au long de la prise en soins de cette pathologie, les proches aidants se voient plonger dans une expérience singulière particulièrement difficile où des besoins d’accompagnement sont essentiels. En tant que professionnel de la santé l’accompagnement auprès des proches aidants est primordial afin de diminuer l’impact sur leur qualité de vie. Objectif : Les auteures ont exploré l’impact d’une tumeur cérébrale sur la qualité de vie d’un proche aidant. Méthode : Ce travail de Bachelor a utilisé PubMed et CINHAL. Sept articles scientifiques ont été retenus et analysés à partir de la Grille de Fortin. Les résultats obtenus ont été extraits et analysés à partir du cadre conceptuel de Calgary. Résultats : Les résultats se sont divisés en deux thèmes et six sous-thèmes. Ces thèmes soulignent et englobent l’importance du besoin d’information et du changement de rôle. Discussion : L’approche par le cadre conceptuel de Calgary révèle que tous les résultats sont interdépendants et les patients et les proches aidants sont indissociables dans cette prise en soins complexe. Utiliser l’approche systémique semble être un outil pour améliorer la qualité de l’accompagnement infirmier. L’interdisciplinarité est un point essentiel dans la prise en soins. Conclusion : Intégrer ces résultats à la pratique infirmière auprès des proches aidants et des patients ayant une tumeur cérébrale peut considérablement améliorer la qualité de vie du patient et de son proche aidant.

description: Although N-body simulations of cosmic structure formation suggest that dark matter halos have density profiles shallower than isothermal at small radii and steeper at large radii, whether observed galaxy clusters follow this profile is still ambiguous. We use one such density profile, the asymmetric NFW profile, to model the mass distributions of 11 galaxy clusters with gravitational arcs observed by HST. We characterize the galaxy lenses in each cluster as NFW ellipsoids, each defined by an unknown scale convergence, scale radius, ellipticity, and position angle. For a given set of values of these parameters, we compute the arcs that would be produced by such a lens system. To define the goodness of fit to the observed arc system, we define a chi^2 function encompassing the overlap between the observed and reproduced arcs as well as the agreement between the predicted arc sources and the observational constraints on the source system. We minimize this chi^2 to find the values of the lens parameters that best reproduce the observed arc system in a given cluster. Here we report our best-fit lens parameters and corresponding mass estimates for each of the 11 lensing clusters. We find that cluster mass models based on lensing galaxies defined as NFW ellipsoids can accurately reproduce the observed arcs, and that the best-fit parameters to such a model fall within the reasonable ranges defined by simulations. These results assert NFW profiles as an effective model for the mass distributions of observed clusters.

description: Rapid growth of the organic agricultural sector in the U.S. and implementation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's national organic standards in 2002 have lead to concerns that organic production could become increasingly concentrated on larger U.S. and international farms, disrupting the market access of small domestic organic producers. However, data on the U.S. organic agriculture show that the smallest-scale farms continue to hold a small but stable piece of the organic sector and that U.S. organic farm size has grown slowly. The amount of land under organic production worldwide is growing rapidly, particularly in developing countries producing commodities for export, many of which are not widely grown in the U.S. Small-scale producers using direct markets have likely been least impacted from increased organic imports, while producers of organic oilseeds and cotton have likely been most impacted. Federal and State government agencies and the private sector have launched initiatives to sustain small-farm participation in the U.S. organic sector. Programs to better serve organic producers in the U.S. and to differentiate organic and non-organic imports and exports are being developed at the federal level.

description: District 6 has had a lingering problem of low cylinder-strengths. This report describes, in detail, an ensuing investigation which incorporated the use of identical materials of concretes used in District 6 and analyses of cylinder data, in situ concrete cores, and laboratory mixtures. The investigation revealed that a high percent of the in situ concrete is sound and reliable, and that aggregate type and (or) air content were not the cause for the low cylinder-strengths. The quality of making, storing, and curing the cylinders were the reasons for low-strength.

description: We investigated the influence of n+-GaAs thickness and doping density of GaMnAs/n+-GaAs Esaki tunnel junction on the efficiency of the electrical electron spin injection. We prepared seven samples of GaMnAs/n+-GaAs tunnel junctions with different n+-GaAs thickness and doping density grown on identical p-AlGaAs/p-GaAs/n-AlGaAs light emitting diode (LED) structures. Electroluminescence (EL) polarization of the surface emission was measured under the Faraday configuration with external magnetic field. All samples have the bias dependence of the EL polarization, and higher EL polarization is obtained in samples in which n+-GaAs is completely depleted at zero bias. The EL polarization is found to be sensitive to the bias condition for both the (Ga,Mn)As/n+-GaAs tunnel junction and the LED structure.

description: Magnetic properties of single crystals of the heterometallic complex [Cu(bpy)$_3$]$_2$[Cr(C$_2$O$_4$)$_3$]NO$_3\cdot $9H$_2$O (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) have been investigated. From the recorded EPR spectra, the spin-Hamiltonian parameters have been determined. The magnetization measurements have shown magnetic anisotropy at low temperatures, which has been analysed as a result of the zero-field splitting of the Cr$^{\mathrm{III}}$ ion. By fitting the exactly derived magnetization expression to the measured magnetization data, the axial zero-field splitting parameter, D, has been calculated. Comparing to the EPR measurements, it has been confirmed that $D$ can be determined from the measurements of the macroscopic magnetization on the single crystals.

description: Neutron tunneling between neutron-rich nuclei in inhomogeneous dense matter encountered in neutron star crusts can release enormous energy on a short-timescale to power explosive phenomena in neutron stars. In this work we clarify aspects of this process that can occur in the outer regions of neutron stars when oscillations or cataclysmic events increase the ambient density. We use a time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov formalism to determine the rate of neutron diffusion and find that large amounts of energy can be released rapidly. The role of nuclear binding, the two-body interaction and pairing, on the neutron diffusion times is investigated. We consider a one-dimensional quantum diffusion model and extend our analysis to study the impact of diffusion in three-dimensions. We find that these novel neutron transfer reactions can generate energy at the amount of $\simeq 10^{40}-10^{44}$ ergs under suitable conditions.

description: AASHO Road Test tandem axleloads were analyzed to determine the magnitude of the tandem axleload that causes the same damage as the 18-kip (80-kN) single axleload. The procedure is outlined and is the same used to analyze single axleloads. The essential findings were as follows:  1. One repetition of a 34-kip ( 151-kN) tandem axleload appears to cause the same damage as one repetition of an 18-kip (80-kN) single axleload. 2. The relationships of log repetitions versus axleload used by Kentucky appear to be equally valid for single and tandem axleloads. 3. The use of superposition principles, and equivalency of repetitions, in combination with terminal serviceability indices permitted analyses of the tandem axleload data and comparison with equivalent Kentucky thickness designs converted to the AASHTO structural number. 4. Single axleload analyses were combined with the tandem axleload analyses and superimposed by Kentucky equivalent designs. The Kentucky designs, based upon elastic theory, enveloped 91 percent of the AASHO Road Test data. 5. For pavement design, the estimated fatigue for a 20-year design using the AASHTO damage factors will be reached in 16.2 years using the Kentucky damage factors. The Kentucky damage factors more closely approximate observed behavior than the AASHTO factors.
Higher genera Catalan numbers and Hirota equations for extended nonlinear Schroedinger hierarchy

description: We consider the Dubrovin--Frobenius manifold of rank $2$ whose genus expansion at a special point controls the enumeration of a higher genera generalization of the Catalan numbers, or, equivalently, the enumeration of maps on surfaces, ribbon graphs, Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants, strictly monotone Hurwitz numbers, or lattice points in the moduli spaces of curves. Liu, Zhang, and Zhou conjectured that the full partition function of this Dubrovin--Frobenius manifold is a tau-function of the extended nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchy, an extension of a particular rational reduction of the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili hierarchy. We prove a version of their conjecture specializing the Givental--Milanov method that allows to construct the Hirota quadratic equations for the partition function, and then deriving from them the Lax representation.

A mystory [sic] about Wilson Duff : northwest coast anthropologist
Creators: name: Roth, Maria Victoria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: An electronic (HTML) thesis on late University of British Columbia professor Wilson Duff, an anthropologist central to the construction of Northwest Coast art in the 1960s and 1970s. It brings together textual fragments (historic and contemporary, archival, interview transcripts) within a framework which attempts to balance truth (original authorial intent and the context and academic debates of that period) with the impossibility of truth (the notion of partial, situated truths and critical, presentist re-readings of Duffs work some twenty-five years later). The narrative structure is simultaneously linear and pure hypertext, depending on the reader's choices. No two paths will be the same.
