Önen, Ufuk. ""Black, not grey: Ankara rocks!" : a creative practice-based investigation of the Ankara rock music scene of the 1980s and the 1990s through documentary filmmaking." Thesis, University of Salford, 2017. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/44340/.

Full text
Abstract:
Ankara, with its population of nearly 4.5 million, is the second largest city in Turkey after İstanbul. İstanbul is widely accepted as the centre of trade, finance, business, art and entertainment, whereas Ankara, being the capital city, is usually associated with politics only. Due to its weather and the vast number of government buildings, Ankara is deemed to be 'grey' and considered as 'lifeless', 'soulless' and 'dull' by some people. Although labelled as a 'city of politics', a 'grey city' or a 'grey city of politics', Ankara has a substantial influence on the Turkish popular music culture, which is an outcome of a strong rock music scene in Ankara, especially in the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. This research project is composed of two components: audiovisual and written. The audiovisual component is the feature length documentary, titled Black, Not Grey: Ankara Rocks!, which investigates the Ankara rock music scene, and the relationship between the city and rock music, in the above-mentioned period in Ankara. This occurs through personal recollections and narratives, first-hand experiences and collective memories of rock musicians and related persons. The documentary draws on traditions of ethnographic filmmaking practices. The written component is the PhD dissertation which questions and discusses the form and the narrative style of the practical outcome of this research project, the documentary, that serves as a record of a music scene in a particular and significant period in Turkey's history.

This study assessed the geochemical characteristics of lignite and other waste rock of the future South Jimblebar Iron Ore Mine in Western Australia. Results indicated that lignite of CzD 2 and black shale of MU stratigraphic units were potentially acid forming (PAF) materials and relatively enriched in certain elements of environmental significance. In contrast, non-carbonaceous mudstones were non-acid forming (NAF). These findings indicate potential for acid mine drainage generation that will requires specific waste rock management.

Wang, Baolin. "A block-spring model for jointed rocks." Thesis, University of Ottawa (Canada), 1992. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/7521.

Full text
Abstract:
A numerical method called the Block-Spring Model for analyzing heavily jointed rocks has been developed from first principles. The model simulates the jointed rock mass by an assemblage of rigid blocks interacted through contacts. The contact forces between blocks are determined in terms of the relative displacements between the blocks. By introducing the contact forces and the boundary conditions into the equilibrium equations of the blocks, a wet of stiffness equations are obtained in which the unknown variables are the displacements of the blocks. The displacements of the blocks can therefore be determined by solving the stiffness equations. The contact forces between blocks are calculated after the displacements are obtained. The discontinuities of the jointed rock mass are automatically modelled as the interfaces between the blocks. The deformation behaviour of the joints are governed by a non-tension rule in normal direction. Patton's bi-linear criterion is used to describe the shear failure behaviour of the rock joints. An interaction procedure is applied to describe the progressive failure along the joints. The positions of the blocks are continuously updated based on the displacements obtained after each step of iteration. Therefore, the large scale displacements of the blocks are modelled incrementally with the iteration procedure. During evolution of the block movement, the blocks are allowed to rearrange. The block system may become statically stable or unstable after undergoing large scale displacements. The proposed model therefore identifies unstable blocks by considering the rearrangement of the blocks. A numerical procedure for simulating the rock bolts has been proposed. The rockbolts are modelled by a series of one dimensional elements interacted with the rock blocks through nodal points. The effect of the rockbolts on the rock masses is evaluated by relating the bolt forces to the displacements of the blocks and by introducing the bolt forces into the equilibrium equations of the blocks. The model can be used to analyze both the end-anchored rock bolts and the fully grouted rock bolts either pre-tensioned or untensioned. A procedure for modelling the groundwater pressure has also been developed. It has been considered that groundwater may affect the stability of the jointed rock masses by reducing the effective stresses between the rock blocks. In simulating the groundwater effect on the rock masses, the water pressures imposed on the surfaces of the rock blocks are calculated. These water pressures are introduced into the equilibrium equations of the blocks. The contact forces between blocks determined after solving the equations are the effective forces across the rock joints. A FORTRAN program, BLOSMER, has been entirely written by the Author based on the procedures of the Block-Spring Model developed during this study. The program can be used to analyze the stability of the surrounding rock masses of either open pits or underground excavations at the shallow depth. It has been applied to several examples to demonstrate the capability of the proposed model. Two case histories have been analyzed in detail with the Block-Spring Model. The numerical results have been compared with the field instrumentation data. Good agreement has been observed between the results from the back analyses with the proposed model and the field measurements in both cases. The proposed model can be applied for analysis of rock excavations by practicing civil and mining engineers.

Abstract:
Reservoir simulation studies are one of the key tools in an integrated reservoir management study. A successful reservoir simulation application requires representative input data for reservoir rock and fluid properties. This study aims to develop a road map from laboratory measurements to the input data file of reservoir simulation and to make a probabilistic approach for the estimation of unknown parameters. Raw data of reservoir rock and fluid properties of a selected oil field of Turkey will be interpreted and prepared in a way that they will be used as input data of a simulator.

Abstract:

In its short but vibrant history Burning Man evolved from spontaneous bohemian solstice celebration into a global intentional community anchored by ephemeral Black Rock Desert burns. Participants practice Ten Principles to embody an ethos that radically challenges mainstream culture through manifested Black Rock City (re)formation, negotiation, and deconstruction. The resulting paradoxical heterotopia originates from modernist garden city philosophy and is centered annually on a symbolic towering effigy, but the playa canvas provides ample room for communal architecture and services. Citizen engagement occurs do-ocratically in an environment without economic and administrative limitations to encourage creative productions that are interactive and gifted for public enjoyment.

Though Burning Man Project and Bureau of Land Management are organizations that maintain key functional planning roles in Black Rock City by mitigating human environmental impact, examination reveals how participant-built environments freely endeavor to mock, reverse, and reconceptualize external society through unique, sometimes conflicting, but peacefully coexisting self-expressions. As fanatical demand for Black Rock City's perceived urban counterculture grows, research findings from longitudinal participant-observation suggests that doxic city life is not only present at Burning Man, it trends along an elite postwar suburban trajectory opposed to many guiding principles, and is specifically at odds with the principle of radical inclusivity.

CAPES
Este trabalho abordou mudanças no padrão estético através do uso de ferramenta quantificadora de luz refletida, inclusive para cada espectro visível. É possível perceber mudanças que associadas à descrição petrográfica e às características tecnológicas, orientarão uma escolha consciente e precisa do material pétreo e a monitoração do seu uso. Com a diversidade de tipos de rocha ofertados hoje no mercado, percebe-se a necessidade de preparo de profissionais para identificar a rocha mais adequada para um determinado uso. Outrossim, as características e efeitos dos produtos de limpeza precisam ser sistematicamente acompanhados, de modo que a percepção estética deve ir além da beleza momentânea, inclusive servir de referência para perceber e prever suas mudanças e respectivos desdobramentos sobre propriedades mecânicas do material no decorrer do tempo e do uso estimado e, naturalmente, sua durabilidade otimizada. A permanência da estética e preservação dos parâmetros físicos e mecânicos da rocha passam a depender do aprofundamento teórico para prever a finalidade da indicação da rocha. Os estudos realizados, neste trabalho, abordam a aplicação da espectrometria e luminosidade até a implementação prática do gerenciamento de cores e do brilho, passando pela análise conceitual da cor, sistema visual humano, fontes de luz, temperatura de cor, modelos de cores, espectro eletromagnético, espectrometria, espectro-radiométria, dispositivo para aferir a cor, além de analises petrográfica e tecnológicas do material estudado. A fim de implementar o gerenciamento de cores, foi necessário equipamento de medição, cartelas de referência para calibração e software para ler os dados captados pelo equipamento de medição. Para a implementação do sistema, em caráter experimental, foram utilizadas amostras no material pétreo Preto São Marcos, e os resultados obtidos, mostram que houve alteração do índice colorimétrico e do brilho entre o material original e o sujeito a ataque químico, embora não fossem percebidas a olho nu, devido à composição mineral da rocha.

Full text
Abstract:
The South China Craton comprises the Yangtze Block in the northwest and Cathaysia Block in the southeast. Located in the southeastern Yangtze Block, the Jiangnan Orogen formed through the amalgamation between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks. The Yangtze Block has sporadically exposed Archean rocks in the north, Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary sequences in the southwest and widespread Neoproterozoic sedimentary sequences accompanied by syn-sedimentary igneous rocks on the western and southeastern margins. The late Paleoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic Dongchuan, Dahongshan and Hekou groups in the southwestern Yangtze Block formed in a series of fault-controlled, rift-related basins associated with the fragmentation of the supercontinent Columbia. These sedimentary sequences were deposited between 1742 and 1503 Ma, and recorded continuous deposition from alluvial fan and fluvial sedimentation during the initial rifting to deep marine sedimentation in a passive margin setting. Sedimentation during initial rifting received felsic detritus mainly from adjacent continents, whereas sedimentation in a passive margin basin received detritus from felsic to intermediate rocks of the Yangtze Block. Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic rift basins in the southwestern Yangtze Block are remarkably similar to those of north Australia and northwestern Laurentia in their lower part (1742-1600 Ma), but significantly different after ca. 1600 Ma. The southwestern Yangtze Block was likely connected with the north Australia and northwestern Laurentia in Columbia but drifted away from these continents after ca. 1600 Ma. Traditionally thought Mesoproterozoic sedimentary sequences in the southeastern Yangtze Block are now confirmed to be Neoproterozoic in age and include the 835-830 Ma Sibao, Fanjingshan and Lengjiaxi groups, and 831-815 Ma Shuangqiaoshan and Xikou groups. These sequences are unconformably overlain by the ~810-730 Ma Danzhou, Xiajiang, Banxi, Heshangzheng, Luokedong and Likou groups. The regional unconformity likely marked the amalgamation between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks and thus occurred at ~815-810 Ma. The lower sequences (835-815 Ma) received dominant Neoproterozoic (~980-820) felsic to intermediate materials in an active tectonic setting related to continental arc and orogenic collision, whereas the upper sequences represent sedimentation in an extensional setting with input of dominant Neoproterozoic granitic to dioritic materials (~740-900 Ma). The upper parts of the Shuangqiaoshan and Xikou groups, uncomfortably underlain by lower units, are molasse-type assemblages with additional input of pre-Neoproterozoic detritus, representing accumulation of sediments in a retro-arc foreland basin associated with the formation of the Jiangnan Orogen. Stratigraphic correlation, similarly low-δ18O and tectonic affinity of igneous rocks from different continents suggest that the Yangtze Block should be placed in the periphery of Rodinia probably adjacent to northern India. Paleoproterozoic (~2480 Ma and ~2000 Ma) and Early Neoproterozoic (711-997 Ma) were the most important periods of crustal and magmatic events of the southeastern Yangtze Block, but there is a lack of significant Grenvillian magmatism. Early Neoproterozoic magmatism highlights the contribution from both juvenile materials and pre-existing old crust, whereas ~2480 Ma and ~2000 Ma events are marked by reworking of pre-existing continental crust. Magmatism at 1600-1900 Ma was dominated by reworking of pre-existing crust, whereas the 1400-1600 Ma magmatic event recorded some addition of juvenile materials.

Honours thesis, Murdoch University, 2019. https://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/53810/.

Full text
Abstract:
Overabundant western grey kangaroo Macropus fuliginosus are known to impact agriculture, but how are they impacting threatened fauna sharing their habitat? In Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary, southwest Western Australia, kangaroos are suspected of competing with the sympatric and endangered black-flanked rock-wallaby Petrogale lateralis lateralis, however there is no research to support this. If kangaroos are negatively impacting rock-wallabies, kangaroo densities may need to be managed to ameliorate competitive pressures on rock-wallabies. We investigated the potential for dietary competition between M. fuliginosus and P. l. lateralis by measuring the overlap in their diets and foraging patches, as well as food resource availability. A combination of scat analysis, motion sensor camera trapping and vegetation surveys were employed. Petrogale lateralis lateralis diets were dominated by forbs and overlapped with those of M. fuliginosus which featured mostly browse and forbs (Schoener index: 0.56). Some of their shared preferred food resources were spatially and/or temporally limited. Their foraging patches also overlapped (33.9%), however these macropod species predominantly used different areas of the outcrop. Evidence over the duration of the study indicates potential for low levels of dietary competition, however the availability of shared food resources and resource partitioning suggest that P. l. lateralis were not being adversely impacted. In terms of the threatening processes limiting P. l. lateralis recovery, predation has been ranked higher than competition, a finding that is likely supported by the present study. This will likely remain true even if M. fuliginosus densities increase in the future. Conservation actions should therefore continue to prioritise the mitigation of predation threats to P. l. lateralis populations.

Full text
Abstract:
The Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey accomodates indecent residence conditions for people owing to ground conditions comprising of volcanics and concurrent flysch, and its related irregular geomorphology. One of the important difficulties in this region is transportation. Accordingly, the ordu peripheral highway which encompasses various structures such as, open cuts, bridges, viaducts and junctions and double tubed tunnel sections which will be driven in these geological and geomorphological conditions is palnned to be constructed. In regional scale, volcanics, pyroclastics and flysch deposits often intertounge with each other even over very short distances. The accurate determination of the shear strength parameters of these lithologies is vital for the assessment of portal slope stability and support design in regards to tunnel design. Rock mass classification systems, namley, RMR, NGI Q system and GSI, have been employed to obtain the rock mass shear strength parameters. Stress analyses around the tunnel opennings have been executed through employing 2D finite element analysis in an attempt to design tunnel support. The results of the analysis have been correlated with the results obtained from the emprical methods. The overall analyses and interpretations led to the determination of the support systems to be employed during tunnel construction.

>Magister Scientiae - MSc
This contribution engages in the evaluation of offshore sandstone reservoirs of the Central Bredasdorp basin, Block 9, South Africa using primarily petrophysical procedures. Four wells were selected for the basis of this study (F-AH1, F-AH2, F-AH4, and F-AR2) and were drilled in two known gas fields namely F-AH and F-AR. The primary objective of this thesis was to evaluate the potential of identified Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs through the use and comparison of conventional core, special core analysis, wire-line log and production data. A total of 30 sandstone reservoirs were identified using primarily gamma-ray log baselines coupled with neutron-density crossovers. Eleven lithofacies were recognised from core samples. The pore reduction factor was calculated, and corrected for overburden conditions. Observing core porosity distribution for all wells, well F-AH4 displayed the highest recorded porosity, whereas well F-AH1 measured the lowest recorded porosity. Low porosity values have been attributed to mud and silt lamination influence as well as calcite overgrowths. The core permeability distribution over all the studied wells ranged between 0.001 mD and 2767 mD. Oil, water, and gas, were recorded within cored sections of the wells. Average oil saturations of 3 %, 1.1 %, and 0.2 % were discovered in wells F-AH1, F-AH2, and F-AH4. Wells F-AH1 to F-AR2 each had average gas saturations of 61 %, 57 %, 27 %, and 56 % respectively; average core water saturations of 36 %, 42 %, 27 %, and 44 % were recorded per well.

(Lesourd 41-42). Representation matters. Growing up there were only two women in famous metal bands that I would have considered role models; Jo Bench from Bolt Thrower (UK) and Sean Ysseult from White Zombie (US). This lack or under-representation of women in metal was always obvious to me and has stayed with me as I have developed as a metal musician. Women fans that see women musicians on stage, creates a paradigm of connection; that representation means something. Judith Butler states ‘on the one hand, representation serves as the operative term within a political process that seeks to extend visibility and legitimacy to women as political subjects; on the other hand, representation is the normative function of language which is said either to reveal or distort what is assumed to be true about the category of women’ (1). Butler references de Beauvoir, Kristeva, Irigaray, Foucault and Wittig regarding the lack of category of women, that ‘woman does not have a sex’ (Irigaray qtd. in Butler 1) and that ‘strictly speaking, “women” cannot be said to exist’ (Kristeva qtd. in Butler 1). If this is to be understood in relation to my research, my embodied subjectivity as performative text, regardless of its reception suggests that my autoethnographic position acts as a counter to women’s lack of category. If there is a lack of category, then there is something important happening to ‘woman as subject’. This research seeks to analyse ‘woman as subject’ in female black metal performance by using interpretive performance autoethnography and psychoanalysis. As the guitarist and front woman with the black metal band Denigrata, my involvement has meant that the journey to find my home rests within the blackened heart of musical performance. Interpretive performance autoethnography provides the analytical frame that helps identify the ways in which patriarchal modes of address and engagement inform and frame ‘woman as subject’ in female black metal performance.

Abstract:
Ingeniero Civil Eléctrico
El bombeo de barro corresponde a un ingreso repentino de mineral saturado a labores subterráneas. Este puede causar diversos daños y retrasos en la producción. Según estudios anteriores, una de las principales variables que determina el estado crítico es la cantidad de agua presente en el material fragmentado, y hoy en día todos los análisis de la cantidad de agua presente en el mineral fragmentado son realizados a través de un experto, el cual entrega una observación cualitativa del material. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo seleccionar y diseñar un sensor capaz de medir el contenido volumétrico de agua presente en el mineral fragmentado en los puntos de extracción para block caving, con el fin de obtener mediciones cuantitativas y caracterizar el material. De la revisión bibliográfica se encuentran cuatro tecnologías candidatas, estas son infrarrojas de espectro cercano, reflectometria de microondas en el dominio de la frecuencia, reflectometria de microondas en el domino del tiempo y radar de penetración terrestre. Se realiza un proceso analítico jerárquico para determinar la tecnología más adecuada. Gracias al gran área que cubre el radar de penetración terrestre, fue escogida dicha tecnología. Para su utilización se desarrolla un método de inversión basado en la impedancia eléctrica del suelo, el cual estima la permitividad eléctrica de este. Los dos pasos más importantes de la inversión se basan en deconvoluciones para obtener las señales de interés. Además se utiliza una aproximación polinómica de tercer grado para estimar el contenido de agua tras obtener la permitividad eléctrica. También se identifican los problemas y se muestra como debe ser empleado el sensor en un entorno minero, entregando las especificaciones de la capacidad de medición para distintos tamaños de este. Para verificar la validez del esquema de inversión se desarrollan dos simulaciones con escenarios distintos. Luego se verifica si tras el esquema de inversión se logra llegar a los parámetros de entrada de la simulación. Los resultados arrojan que el método es capaz de recuperar dentro de un plano el contenido volumétrico de agua con una incertidumbre de 1%. Se concluye que el método es adecuado teóricamente para detectar la humedad en el punto de extracción. Se recomienda continuar el estudio con mediciones en terreno y mejoras en la reducción de ruido

Abstract:
Rock fragmentation can occur by crushing, relative radial motion, release of load, spalling, gas extension of strain wave-induced and pre-existing fractures, shear and in-flight collisions. The relative importance of each mechanism, as yet undefined, depends upon explosive properties, rock properties, blast geometry and initiation sequence. The effect of explosive energy and presence of natural fractures on fragmentation are studied. Design of blasts in a copper porphyry ore body were altered to give powder factors between 0.26 and 0.71 kg/m³ in three different types of rock. The rock units in the ore body for this study are classified according to the size distribution of the blocks formed by natural fractures and discontinuities. Block size distribution curves are produced from the core logs and the ore body is divided into six rock classes. Arbitrarily, a representative size distribution curve is assigned to each class. These curves are used to determine the specific surface area (surface area per unit volume of rock) for each rock class. The specific surface area of blasted rock was measured by photo-analysis and correlated closely with the explosive energy and rock type. The explosive energy is calculated in terms of total energy per unit volume of blasted rock, from the powder factor. The results clearly show the effect of natural block sizes on fragmentation. It is shown that most of useful explosive energy goes into opening the pre-existing fractures. Almost the entire product size is controlled by the natural fractures at energy levels below 2 MJ/m³ (powder factor of 0.5 kg/m³). At higher energy levels of 2.85 MJ/m³ (powder factor of 0.71 kg/m³) about 70 to 80 percent of the surface area of the blasted rock is controlled by the pre-existing fractures. The blasted rock is also analyzed using the scale invariant methods as an alternative to the conventional size distribution analysis. The fractal dimension of each blast at different energy level and rock class is determined. The variations of fractal dimensions depends on the energy levels and the rock conditions. At higher energy levels higher fractal dimensions are obtained and more fractured rock showed higher fractal dimension at the same energy level. The fractal concept can be a useful tool to describe rock masses and fragmenting behavior of different rocks.

Abstract:
The deciduous forests of northeastern United States are currently experiencing an invasion of the exotic plant species Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii). This recent and rapid invasion leads to rising concern about its potential threats to native species as well as natural ecosystems, demanding a better understanding of its invasion mechanisms and potential responses to climate change. Unfortunately, few studies have been conducted to understand the influence of climate on the growth of B. thunbergii, largely because of the absence of long-term growth records. In this study we demonstrate growth rings of B. thunbergii are annually resolved and crossdatable. The first ring-width chronology of B. thunbergii was therefore developed using samples collected from the Black Rock Forest (BRF), New York. Climate-growth relationship analysis indicates the growth of B. thunbergii in the BRF is positively correlated with precipitation in prior October, current February and May–August, but is negatively correlated with current March precipitation. The growth of B. thunbergii is also negatively correlated with temperatures in prior winter (November–January) and current summer (June–July), but is positively correlated with current spring temperature (March–May). These dendrochronological results on B. thunbergii, together with further physiological studies, will improve our understanding on how the growth of this invasive species is affected by local climate dynamics, as well as the long-term invasion potential that is tied to its responses to climate change.

Full text
Abstract:
The black-flanked rock-wallaby (Petrogale lateralis lateralis) has suffered a significant decline in its distribution in Western Australia. This has been attributed to introduced predators (predominantly the red fox) and herbivores, fire, and habitat destruction due to clearing. Although since 2001 the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) had begun to reintroduce this species back into its former range, little was known of the behavioural ecology of this species. Fox control in the 1980s and 1990s resulted in population increases of rock-wallabies on several reserves in the central wheatbelt of WA. However, recently these populations have rapidly declined despite continuing fox control. All too often, management and conservation programs are based on little understanding on the natural history and ecology of animals, which can ultimately result in poor management. One of the major problems with our understanding of the ecology of P. l. lateralis was that there was little information on their behavioural, foraging and feeding patterns, and how these affect the population dynamics of the species. Although this species appears to be substrate bound, requiring complex rock structures that are believed to protect them from both predators and adverse climatic conditions, there was still little understanding of how these animals utilise this important resource, particularly in highly variable environments. There is a long-standing premise in behavioural ecology that highly variable environments can significantly affect the behaviour and demography of animal populations. Although this has been well documented in birds, and primates, behavioural elements are rarely incorporated into marsupial studies. For the success of any current and future reintroductions of rock- wallaby populations into new areas, we needed to understand the relationships between the landscape and climatic elements and the behavioural patterns and population dynamics of the species’. This study describes the behavioural ecology of the rock-wallaby subspecies P. l. lateralis in the central wheatbelt region of Western Australia. It focuses on environmental variables that have rarely been studied simultaneously, those of climate, fear of predation and conspecifics, and habitat structure. The Nangeen Hill Reserve population was chosen because it is one of seven small fragmented reserves, within a landscape, with strong seasonal climatic patterns. A methodological approach was developed that enabled identification of the key ecological determinants of the foraging and feeding behaviours of P. l. lateralis in this highly variable environment. The study included a comprehensive examination of all the behavioural characteristics and abilities of P. l. lateralis, compiling a detailed behavioural repertoire (ethogram), a first for this species, and included both nocturnal and diurnal observations. P. l. lateralis uses a complex arrangement of non-agonistic and agonistic behavioural acts that determines its social organisation, and indicates a linear dominance hierarchy. There is little vocal communication, and instead the rock-wallabies appear to rely on both ritualised behaviour acts and chemical cues to exchange information about the physiological or behavioural state of the individual, thus evolving very diverse and complex social behaviours. Nangeen Hill rock-wallabies occupy a permanent central rock refuge, with strong signs of site fidelity. Their foraging patterns reflect those of a central place forager, but distances travelled are restricted in open habitats, with stronger preferences for areas of rock structural complexity. Their foraging behaviour is not strictly nocturnal nor can it be considered crepuscular, exhibiting significantly different seasonal patterns. Time allocation for foraging is strongly affected by fear of predators and to a lesser extent conspecifics, and certain climatic conditions. Although rock-wallabies use multiple behavioural strategies to reduce predation risk, energy costs, and intraspecific agonistic interactions, they can only can survive in their present environment if they have access to complex rock refuge. This rock resource not only enables them to avoid extreme ambient temperatures, but also gives them protection against predators particularly when environmental conditions are unfavourable. In addition, their cave refuge also gives them protection from precipitation, reducing heat loss, and provides a safe environment for both rearing young and for courtship without the cost of predation. Rock refuge is the most important resource that defines this species and is central to all aspects of its life history. Although this reserve has been under a fox-baiting program since 1982, and subsequently resulted in a rock-wallaby population increase and habitat expansion, within the rocky outcrop (Kinnear et al., 1998), it was clear from my research that the ecological situation was more complex. There is a strong predation influence on the behaviour indicating that the population is now predominantly fear-driven. It is the fear of predators and dominant conspecifics that restricts both the foraging range and time spent feeding. This results in animals being tightly restricted to their rock refuge, resulting in overgrazing and habitat degradation. These concerns led me to believe that if the current situation was not alleviated, then a population crash was imminent.A population crash subsequently happened in 2010, and the cause of this decline is a result of a complex ecological relationship, that includes direct and indirect predatory effects, weed invasion, and drought. The results of this research and the subsequent recent population decline, show the importance of including behaviour into an ecological study to have a better understanding. It provides a better understanding of a species as well as providing important insights into its evolutionary past, and how this has shaped their social and demographic patterns. This research also demonstrates how the use of a permanent central rock refuge both contributes to the animal’s continued survival, and restricts its future distribution, particularly in ecologically altered landscapes. Although this study was not designed primarily to resolve conservation and management problems, its findings are already being used to design an active management plan for the central wheatbelt rock-wallaby populations. The complex relationships between how an animal obtains and uses its resources, the availability of different vegetation patches, and population demographics creates significant problems for the management of a species. This emphasises the need for future research on all animal groups, to understand the relationships between the habitat and landscape elements, and that of behaviour and population dynamics. Understanding how animals perceive their environment and how they adjust to its changes will be paramount for the future management and survival of many species.

Abstract:
Hip-Hop educational research is critical to understanding the plight of black boys in public schools throughout the United States. This qualitative inquiry fills a void in the research literature that often fails to include the emic perspectives of the participants involved. To confront the challenges black male youth face in school studies that capture their salient voices about lived-experiences are crucial. Nonetheless, this critical ethnography provides a praxis for educational practitioners to use to gain valuable insight into the minds of school age black males. This study contributes to the canon of educational research by situating hip-hop culture and its various elements as independent variables that have a direct impact on black male youth and their attitude in school. This study is also different in that it adds three additional components to hip-hop culture that include fashion/style, language, and behavior. Historically, these three elements are discussed as a part of the four cornerstones: DJing, Rapping/emceeing, Breakdancing, and Graffiti Art. However, this investigation isolates these three as separate elements that should be included in discussions about hip-hop educational research due to their profound influence on the current generation of black male youth in public schools throughout the United States.

Abstract:
Ingeniero Civil
La gran minería en Chile y el mundo ha facilitado la generación de una extensa cantidad de materiales granulares mineros tales como relaves, lastres, y ripios post-lixiviación, entre otros, los cuales han dado pie a importantes iniciativas de investigación. Sin embargo, aún existen temas relevantes como la rotura de partículas generadas en estos materiales que no han concitado una debida atención. Por ejemplo, un tópico sumamente significativo en minería subterránea de Block Caving es el proceso de fragmentación de la roca, en la cual el macizo rocoso es hundido desde su interior, permitiendo la generación de materiales quebrados; bloques colpas, bolones, gravas y arenas. Estos materiales continúan un nuevo proceso de fragmentación (fragmentación secundaria) debido al movimiento descendente del material quebrado al estar siendo removido desde puntos de extracción. Esto trae consigo una serie de configuraciones de esfuerzos de compresión y corte a lo largo de la columna descendente de material. Así, el proceso de fragmentación secundaria tendría muchas similitudes al fenómeno de la rotura de partículas en materiales granulares. Aunque este último tema ha sido estudiado durante décadas por diferentes autores tales como Lee y Farhoomand (1967), Vesic y Clough (1968), Marsal (1973) y Hardin (1985) entre otros, estudios de este tipo que incluyan materiales quebrados o materiales granulares generados de proyectos mineros son muy escasos (D Espessailles 2014). Para profundizar en el entendimiento de la rotura de materiales granulares generados en minería de Block Caving, esta memoria contempla la realización de 3 ensayos triaxiales CID de grandes dimensiones (probetas de diámetro = 60 cm, altura = 120 cm y diámetro = 100 cm, altura = 180 cm) a 20kgf/cm2 de confinamiento. Además, dos ensayos de compresión triaxial CID (probetas de diámetro = 5 cm y altura = 10 cm) se compararán en términos de rotura con la obtenido en ensayos de corte simple (probetas de diámetro 7 cm). Se emplearán materiales de tronadura proveniente del Proyecto Minero Chuquicamata Subterráneo (PMCHS). Además, procedimientos para una correcta confección de probetas triaxiales de grandes dimensiones con granulometrías uniformes son presentados. En estos se obtuvo una alta cantidad de rotura evaluada con el parámetro Bg de Marsal (1967), presentando valores moderados al evaluarse con el parámetro Br de Hardin (1985). Además, desarrollaron una baja resistencia al ser comparados con una extensa data de triaxiales CID de grandes dimensiones. Durante el desmonte de las probetas se pudo observar los diferentes tipos de rotura generados, los cuales son explicados de acuerdo a los mecanismos de deformación desarrollados al interior de la probeta. En cuanto a la comparación de rotura de ensayos de pequeña escala (triaxiales CID y corte simple) los resultados no son concluyentes en el desarrollo de mayor rotura en ensayos de corte simple.

Abstract:
Magíster en Minería
En las operaciones mineras subterráneas a gran escala, como Block/Panel Caving, el ingreso de agua desde la superficie y provenientes del subsuelo mismo es una condición inherente, así mismo, la naturaleza de dichos métodos de explotación condiciona que el bloque mineralizado sea altamente fracturado y que se comporte como un flujo granular que desciende hasta el punto de extracción por gravedad. Procesos de conminución secundaria genera material de granulometría fina que en conjunto con el agua circundante forma barro. Las múltiples perturbaciones del medio (sismos, vibraciones, cargue de material, tronadura, etc.) desencadenan el ingreso súbito del lodo (mud rush) a los niveles de producción y transporte de las minas, produciendo pérdidas de vidas humanas y económicas. El objetivo principal de esta tesis, es conocer los mecanismos físicos del flujo de agua, la cual es la fuerza movilizadora del barro, así como su trayectoria y velocidad hacia los puntos de extracción de mineral, en un medio granular que experimenta difusión de vacíos a causa del desarrollo de la explotación. Esto se ha realizado, a partir de 1200 experimentos numéricos 2D en Comsol Multiphysics ®, considerando porosidades diferenciadas, un medio saturado, continuo, isotrópico y homogéneo y además acoplando la ecuación de Brinkman-Darcy y el modelo cinemático modificado de material granular bajo una solución analítica por Métodos de Elementos Finitos (FEM). Las variables involucradas en el análisis numérico son: densidad local, diámetro de las partículas, área de extracción, separación entre puntos de extracción, velocidad inicial del flujo y estrategia de conexión del Caving. Para cada una de estas, se evaluó su relación de interdependencia y el control que ejercen sobre el comportamiento del flujo de agua para un punto de extracción con tiraje aislado y dos puntos de extracción con tiraje simultáneo. Los resultados permiten sugerir para el caso aislado, que la velocidad del agua a la salida del punto de extracción sigue una tendencia exponencial en relación con el área extraída, es decir, una extracción continua genera la reducción de la velocidad esperada y constituye una estrategia sólida y eficaz de drenaje de la zona activa de movimiento del flujo granular (IMZ). La granulometría y el cambio de densidad local controla la geometría del IMZ, facilitando el flujo de agua hacia el punto de extracción en un 10.58% a 23.31%, respectivamente. Para el caso simultáneo, es importante mencionar que dos puntos alejados entre sí, se comportan como dos puntos aislados que reciben un aporte del 50% de la velocidad inicial, pero sí la separación disminuye, la velocidad esperada se reduce considerablemente por el aumento de zonas altamente permeables que crean nuevas rutas hacia la zona superpuesta. Por otro lado, la estrategia de conexión del Caving controla el flujo de agua en función de la geometría del cave back, donde un tiraje uniforme permite evitar la entrada prematura de agua al nivel de producción. Los dos modelos matemáticos que sintetizan lo anterior, poseen errores relativos de predicción entre 0,83% y 6,09%, y permiten una estimación de la velocidad del agua en el punto de extracción, lo que ayudará a anticipar el tiempo y lugar donde se tiene mayor probabilidad de ocurrencia de un bombeo de barro (mud rush).

Full text
Abstract:
Prediction of cave fragmentation has been one of the biggest concerns for caving operation, since the inadequate assessment can potentially result in loss of project value and safety. The spatial variability of the natural fracture network holds significant implications with respect to block cave mine fragmentation. In this thesis, an in situ fragmentation model is generated, based on Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) models. The volumetric fracture intensity value (P₃₂), derived from the DFN model, is used as an indicator of the rock mass’ structural character, and it provides a direct link to rock mass fragmentation. Major structures were included in the model in a deterministic manner, and the spatial variability of the fracture intensity was analyzed to derive a geostatistical model of rock mass fragmentation. The fragmentation ‘block model’ was then superimposed onto a PCBC draw schedule model, in an attempt to link fragmentation and height of draw. Poor data can potentially compromise DFN analysis, and may result in flawed validation and understanding. At the same time, it is important to define clear and objective methodologies, when analyzing field data, and when deriving input for DFN models. Piecewise Linear Interpolation and recreation of the conceptual DFN model are both used to study the influence of fracture intensity interval length and role of human uncertainty, on the final DFN-derived 3D spatial model. The results show that interval lengths are related to a resolution that can be effectively used in large-scale 3D continuum models, to represent the Representative Elementary Volume (REV) for the rock mass. A digital image processing technique is applied in order to assess caved ore fragmentation. Validation of this method has been gained from the study of lab experiments. Furthermore, a conversion factor for relating 1D image-based measurement to 3D objects is calculated, since the DFN-based in situ fragmentation model yields volumetric size distribution, whereas image processing techniques yield equivalent spherical diameters. Finally, by using the above-mentioned input data analyses, this thesis investigates the possible links between natural fragmentation, secondary fragmentation, height of draw, and observed over-sized material and hang-up.

Full text
Abstract:
My dissertation argues that African Americans in the 20th-century connected lynching and other acts of racial violence with Christ's crucifixion, which in turn fostered hope and even interracial amity by linking his resurrection with racial uplift. To illustrate this dynamic, I focus on musician, dramatist, and church leader Willa Saunders Jones (1901-79) and her Passion play, which she wrote in Chicago during the 1920s. Over the course of six decades, Jones produced her play annually in churches and later large civic theaters. Growing in size and splendor, the play remained intimately tied with the Black church. It also bore the impress of Jones's cultural training in Little Rock, Arkansas and Chicago, the city to which her family fled after a transforming brush with racial violence. The rise of her Passion play depended upon her musical success, most notably as a choral director. By focusing on a single cultural product over time and through several disciplinary lenses, my study contributes new insights into the role of sacred music and drama within the African American community. Offering a brief overview of Jones and her play, my Introduction also articulates the dissertation's two central organizing concepts: the crucifixion trope and resurrection consciousness. Chapters One and Two explain why Americans, especially of African descent, made a link between the suffering of black men in America and the crucifixion of Christ (the crucifixion trope). Chapters Three and Four indicate why Jones considered sacred music and drama to be agents of racial uplift and interracial amity. The final chapter focuses on the theme of Christ's resurrection as a metaphor that animates certain responses to racial trauma (resurrection consciousness). In addition to a wide range of secondary sources, I draw upon personal interviews, court records, genealogical records, the Black press, visual images, song lyrics, correspondence, autobiographies, plays, playbills, school records, television footage, and church publications of the National Baptist Convention, USA. "Windy City, Holy Land" should be of special interest to scholars in African American Studies, American Studies, History, Religious Studies, Theatre Studies, and Women's Studies.

Abstract:
The Nebo-Babel Ni-Cu-platinum-group element (PGE) magmatic sulphide deposit, a world-class ore body, is hosted in low-MgO, tube-like (chonolithic) gabbronorite intrusion in the West Musgrave Block, Western Australia. The Nebo-Babel deposit is the first significant discovery of a nickel sulphide deposit associated with the ca. 1078 Ma Giles Complex, which is part of the Warakurna large igneous province (LIP), now making the Musgrave Block a prime target for nickel sulphide exploration. The Musgrave Block is a Mesoproterozoic, east-west trending, orogenic belt in central Australia consisting of amphibolite and granulite facies basement gneisses with predominantly igneous protoliths. The basement lithologies have been intruded by mafic-ultramafic and felsic rocks; multiply deformed and metamorphosed between 1600 Ma and 500 Ma. The Giles Complex, which is part of the Warakurna LIP, was emplaced at ca. 1078 Ma and consists of a suite of layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions, mafic and felsic dykes and temporally associated volcanic rocks and granites. The Giles Complex intrusions are interpreted to have crystallised at crustal depths between 15km and 30km and are generally undeformed and unmetamorphosed.
