Abstract:
Venue tard à la colonisation, l’Allemagne possède, à la déclaration de guerre en 1914, un empire colonial correspondant à cinq fois sa superficie. Les buts de guerre allemands prévoient l’extension de cet empire en Mittelafrika aux dépens des autres empires coloniaux. Défaite dans ses colonies et sur le continent européen, l’Allemagne perd, lors du traité de Versailles, toutes ses possessions coloniales et devient un pays sans colonies. Cette humiliation sera mal perçue par les autorités et par la population. Les colonies sont jugées indispensables à l’avenir politique et économique du pays. Durant la République de Weimar et sous le Troisième Reich, les ligues et associations coloniales vont avec l’accord et l’aide de leur gouvernement multiplier les manifestations prouvant aux vainqueurs qu’elles n’oublient pas l’empire dont elles ont été dépossédées.

Abstract:
Abstract Sound management of coastal bird populations depends on detailed knowledge of where individuals move after dispersal from their natal colonies. This study tracked the movement of Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger niger) chicks after they fledged from two important colonies on the Gulf of Mexico (in Pinellas and Collier counties of southern Florida, USA). A total of 35 flight-capable chicks approximately 3 weeks old were fitted with digitally-encoded VHF “nanotags” during July–August of the 2017 and 2018 breeding seasons. Chicks were followed with manual telemetry, automated tracking via the Motus Network, and systematic band resighting. Nanotags stayed attached for a mean minimum of 21 days, and chicks remained at their natal colony for a minimum of 24 days after being tagged. Only 10% of tags were deemed to be detected by Motus towers and all of those detections were dismissed as false positives. Band resightings demonstrated exchange of fledglings between colonies, with the furthest known movement being 370 km from St. Pete Beach to Key West. This paper documents inter-colony movement of skimmer chicks, shares lessons about the use of automated telemetry, and helps to frame questions for future research about regional movement patterns to support conservation of this colonial waterbird.

En este estudio se realizó un seguimiento de los movimientos de los pichones de Rynchops niger niger después de que abandonaron dos colonias importantes en el Golfo de México (en los condados de Pinellas y Collier, en el sur de Florida, EE. UU.). Durante julio y agosto de las temporadas reproductivas de 2017 y 2018, un total de 35 pichones capaces de volar, de aproximadamente 3 semanas de edad, fueron equipados con "nanoetiquetas" VHF codificadas digitalmente. Los pichones fueron seguidos con telemetría manual, seguimiento automatizado a través de la red Motus y reavista- miento sistemático de anillos. Las nanoetiquetas permanecieron adheridas durante una media mínima de 21 días, y los pichones permanecieron en su colonia natal durante un mínimo de 24 días después de haber sido marcados. Sólo el 10% de las marcas fueron detectadas por las torres Motus y todas esas detecciones fueron descartadas como falsos positivos. Los reavistamientos de anillos demostraron el intercambio de volantones entre colonias, siendo el movimiento más lejano conocido de 370 km, desde St. Pete Beach hasta Cayo Hueso. Este artículo documenta el movimiento de pichones de esta especie entre colonias, comparte lecciones sobre el uso de la telemetría automatizada y ayuda a formular preguntas para futuras investigaciones sobre patrones de movimiento regional para apoyar la conservación de esta ave acuática colonial.

Cette étude a permis le suivi des déplacements de jeunes Becs-en-ciseaux noirs (Rynchops niger niger) après leur envol de deux importantes colonies du golfe du Mexique (dans les comtés de Pinellas et Collier, au sud de la Floride, aux États-Unis). Au total, 35 jeunes volants, âgés d’environ 3 semaines, ont été équipés de « nanoémetteurs » VHF codés numériquement, au cours de la saison de reproduction, en juillet-août 2017 et 2018. Ils ont été suivis par télémétrie manuelle, par suivi automatisé via le réseau Motus et par relecture systématique des bagues. Les nanoémetteurs sont restés fixés au moins 21 jours en moyenne, et les jeunes sont restés dans leur colonie d’origine au moins 24 jours après avoir été marqués. Seulement 10 % des émetteurs ont été détectés par les stations Motus et toutes ces détections ont été considérées comme de faux positifs. Les lectures de bagues ont démontré l’échange de jeunes entre les colonies, le plus long déplacement connu étant de 370 km de St Pete Beach à Key West. Cet article présente des données sur les déplacements de jeunes Bec-en-ciseaux entre les colonies, partage des enseignements tirés de l’utilisation de la télémétrie automatisée, et aide à formuler des questions pour les recherches futures sur les modèles de déplacements régionaux visant à soutenir la conservation de cet oiseau d’eau colonial.

Abstract:
Karl Peters, le «fondateur» de l’Afrique orientale allemande, territoire protégé par le Reich à partir de 1884, est le «colonial» par excellence : explorateur à la tête de nombreuses expéditions, aventurier sans vergogne, «agitateur» colonial de premier ordre, piètre gestionnaire, objet de scandales coloniaux retentissants. Son nom restera durablement synonyme de violences et d’arbitraire colonial. L’arrivée en 1907 de Bernhard Dernburg à la tête du ministère des Colonies marque un véritable tournant dans les affaires coloniales allemandes. Dernburg est un gestionnaire et surtout un grand réformateur qui a, pour les colonies, un véritable programme de développement, mais que de nombreux cercles considéreront comme trop libéral et «non-allemand». L’article se propose de présenter ces deux personnages que tout oppose, mais qui auront marqué, chacun à sa façon, l’histoire coloniale allemande.

Abstract:
Colonial American historians have analyzed the migration and settlement of the colonies in a multifaceted aspect. Historians of colonial America continue to analyze how the migration and settlement of the settlers shaped the colonies they inhabited. Furthermore, historians have also considered the colonies to be interconnected with the greater Atlantic world and strive to make connections not only between the first English thirteen colonies but also have begun to consider how Canadian and Spanish colonies have been shaped by their settlers in the Atlantic world. Through this thought, Historians may begin to compare the colonies to each other and find that their migration and settlement patterns share similar goals and values that they may not have considered before. This paper will compare Colonial NEw England and New Mexico and analyze the goals and values that shape each of these colonies.

Abstract:
Between AD 235–275, 36 Roman colonies emitted their final coins, with more than five hundred iconographic motifs represented. On the one hand, “veteran” colonies, having a long tradition of colonial coinages, maintained the Roman character of their issues. On the other hand, most colonies created in the 3rd century, recognised by scholars as “titular”, since no colonists were supposed to be settled there, also decided to follow the pattern of universal colonial coinage. The use of Latin, the exposure of status and typical colonial motifs such as a “foundation scene”, military emblems and Marsyas were exploited in the final issues of the Roman colonies. Even though the Romanitas of many colonies was merely superficial, coins performed the role of a medium which manifested the Roman nature of the colonies.

Abstract:
SummaryFor Italy, unprecedented mass migration in the late nineteenth century overshadowed the European Scramble for Africa. To secure Italy's place in the new imperial order, Francesco Crispi proposed to harness emigration for colonial expansion, by settling Italy's East African colonies with the surplus Italian population. Defeat at Adwa in 1896 shattered Crispi's project, and turned attention to colonial possibilities elsewhere. Luigi Einaudi and other Liberals trumpeted the value of Italian collectivities or colonie across the Atlantic, where Italy exerted only indirect influence. In theory, these ‘spontaneous colonies’ would boost the Italian economy at little expense. Italian colonialist societies turned from Africa to the Americas, working to make Italian migration more prestigious, successful and profitable. After 1908, however, Enrico Corradini and the Italian Nationalists mocked these initiatives, and called upon the Italian state to return to traditional imperialism in Africa.

Abstract:
One of the most common iconographic motifs of Roman colonial coinage is the ‘foundation scene’. Colonies modelled on Rome were established according to the aratrum ritual, in imitation of the manner in which, according to myths, Romulus founded Rome. Veteran colonies, established between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century CE, gladly exploited that motif to commemorate the colonial foundation and to manifest their bond with Rome. However, colonies set up under Septimius Severus and later were considered as purely titular foundations. Nevertheless, they also occasionally presented the foundation scene on civic coins. If they were not colonists, the question arises as to the message that such coins conveyed. In this paper, the author makes an attempt to examine the foundation scene on Roman colonial coins from the Near East in the 3rd century CE. The concepts of veteran and titular colonies are contrasted. It is a noteworthy that while the colonies in northern Syria and Mesopotamia (except Rhesaena) never introduced the foundation scene on their coinages, the southern colonies (except Philippopolis) proudly manifested their connections with Rome. Eventually, the foundation scene disappeared from colonial coins of the Near East in the mid-3rd century.

Abstract:
The article explores the colonial policy pursued by the German Empire in the African colonies. Africa was the region where the largest and most importan colonies for Germany were located. The author sets himself the task not only to analyze the organization of the colonial authorities in various regions of Africa, but also to consider the main actions of the administrations and their role in the entire colonial policy of the German Empire. Based on the analysis of the memoirs of German governors and field commanders, as well as the involvement of published documents, the process of establishing German power in the African colonies is analyzed. In the article, the author also provides a description of each of the German colonies to form an idea about them. The author gives a description of the colonies, the relationship between them and the metropolis. Since all the colonies existed for the export of raw materials to the mother country, the economic goals in each colony are also considered. The German guard troops, whose importance for maintaining power and security in the region is beyond doubt, are shown as the part of the “system” of the colonial administration. The article provides information not only about their functions, but also about the membership, command and structure. In addition, the article considers such aspects of colonial administrations as taxation, the abolition of slavery and Christian missions, which were the most important part of the entire colonial policy of the German empire.

Abstract:
This article reflects on Professor Tony Angelo's contributions to the laws of various British colonies, particularly Mauritius. The author illustrates different types of jurisdiction by reference to individual countries. First, the author discusses colonies with a received legal heritage – Mauritius, who has influences from its French colonial administration and English law, and Botswana who has hints of English commercial statutes. Secondly, the author discusses colonies with an underlying common law system – Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Samoa. None of these nations were settled colonies, but colonial administrators took with them a common law structure for contracts, and civil and commercial obligations, while retaining customary law and practices in relation to land. Finally, the Maldives is discussed as a "special case". The author then discusses his reflections on the colonial legal legacy, including the impact of the English language, the shared nature of the colonies' legal systems (including a common accounting and business framework), and the "colonial legal patchwork". The author hopes that the impetus given by Professor Angelo to law reform in Mauritius, as well as other nations, will continue.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the colonialist discourse in Japanese linguistics in the period from 1868 to 1945, the time when Japan changed from a semi-feudal isolated country to a modernized nation and a colonizer. To address the complexity caused by such rapid development, and namely, to show how modernization and colonialism shaped Japanese language studies during this period, I present my analysis in two parts: the first part explores multiple facets of Japanese language education in the colonial period, both on Japanese territory and in Japanese colonies, particularly on the Korean Peninsula; the second part is a study of language manuals for Japanese soldiers. Although I examine some multilingual manuals, my main focus is on Korean language manuals because their number far exceeds that of other languages and also because Korea is my primary research area. My claim is that a careful examination of language manuals as well as of Japanese language education both in Japan and its colonies reveals one of the characteristic features of Japanese colonial linguistics: a situation when a standard-in-the-making was simultaneously being exported to colonial sites with variable success rates. Before the Japanese language went abroad, and more importantly, after its export, the struggle over what kind of Japanese language to teach continued to be a matter of controversy and was never settled until the U.S. occupied Japan and implemented educational reforms. But superimposed on all the debates was always the conflicting concept of kokugo (national language), which was so over-politicized that it precluded the possibility of any academic reforms or structural refinements in tandem with its political expansion overseas. As my study shows, one of the reasons for this complexity was that not only nationalism but also pan-Asianist discourse played a significant role in the Japanese colonial enterprise in East Asia. The language manuals for Japanese soldiers that I examine were published between 1882 and 1935. As the publication years grow more recent, we can see, in the prefaces and the contents, shifts in the forms of nationalism and pan-Asianist rhetoric occurring simultaneously with the rise of colonialist discourse.

Abstract:
Certains " grands ancêtres étrangers " sont des références pour les Instituts coloniaux français qui, sauf celui de Nancy, sont des associations privées. Le premier Institut colonial est créé à Marseille en 1893 grâce au concours de la Chambre de Commerce. Son but est de développer la recherche scientifique et l'enseignement colonial pour permettre une mise en valeur rationnelle de l'Empire. Deux autres Instituts sont fondés à Bordeaux et à Nancy (1901 et 1902). Durant la Grande Guerre, ils remplissent un rôle d'expertise auprès du gouvernement pour le ravitaillement de la métropole en produits coloniaux, notamment les arachides de l'A. O. F. L'Institut colonial français est fondé à Paris en 1920. Il a une ambition nationale. Les années 1920 voient les dernières créations en France et en Europe : Nice (1927), Le Havre (1929), Amsterdam (1926). Si les années 1920 constituent l'âge d'or des Instituts coloniaux, les années 1930 sont une période de crise et de mutations. Les grandes Expositions coloniales organisées par la Chambre de Commerce de Marseille en 1906 et 1922 ont pour but de présenter l'Empire au grand public. La propagande coloniale des Instituts est multiforme : expositions permanentes, temporaires, stands dans diverses foires, conférences, propagande scolaire. Son efficacité reste limitée. L'administration refuse d'étendre aux grandes Chambres de Commerce le recrutement des administrateurs coloniaux réservé à l'École coloniale de Paris. Elles fondent alors un enseignement colonial supérieur destiné à former les cadres économiques nécessaires à la mise en valeur de l'Empire. Cet enseignement répond le plus souvent aux besoins locaux grâce à un contenu pratique et un corps enseignant stable et compétent. Certains Instituts créent des services de documentation et de recherche scientifique et technique au service des entreprises adhérentes. Cette action locale et pratique rencontre un vif succès. Les Instituts les plus actifs participent aux grands débats doctrinaux, notamment douanier, concernant la mise en valeur de l'Empire.

O objetivo deste trabalho é fazer uma análise da construção discursiva da colonialidade portuguesa a partir da leitura de narrativas que receberam o Prêmio de Literatura Colonial da Agência Geral das Colónias (AGC), distinção concedida pelo Estado Novo português entre 1926 e 1951. Trata-se do estudo dos processos de dominação e hierarquização social realizados pela via literária nas antigas colônias de Moçambique, Angola, e Timor-Leste. Para tanto, três obras foram privilegiadas para leitura: Oiro africano, Na pista do marfim e da morte: reportagens vividas e escritas por Ferreira da Costa e Gentio de Timor, escritas pelos colonialistas portugueses Julião Quintinha, Ferreira da Costa e Armando Pinto Corrêa nos anos de 1929, 1944 e 1935, respectivamente. Além de destacar e analisar aspectos significativos do discurso colonial, este trabalho evidencia, em paralelo, a dimensão política e cultural desses textos, que, usados como ferramenta da ação colonial, acabaram também fazendo um autorretrato dos próprios portugueses que colonizaram aquelas terras. Faz-se, ainda, pela análise de fontes primárias como materiais de jornais de época, uma correlação entre o lançamento dos títulos no mercado editorial português, a atuação social de seus autores como articulistas na imprensa e os papeis que exerceram como educadores ou administradores coloniais.
The aim of this work is to draw an analysis of the discursive construction of the portuguese coloniality trough the reading of narratives that won the General Agency of Colonies` Colonial Literature Prize, an award granted by the portuguese Estado Novo between 1926 and 1951. It focuses on the study of domination and social hierarchization set up by literary means in the former colonies of Mozambique, Angola and East Timor. For such task, three books were chosen: Oiro africano, Na pista do marfim e da morte: reportagens vividas e escritas por Ferreira da Costa e Gentio de Timor, respectively written by portuguese colonialists Julião Quintinha, Ferreira da Costa and Armando Pinto Corrêa in 1929, 1944 and 1935. Besides pointing out relevant aspects of the colonial discourse, this work highlights the cultural and political dimension of these texts, wich, used as a tool for the colonial action, ended out by making a portrait of the same portuguese people who colonized those lands. Still, the release of those titles in the portuguese editorial market is put into perspective with the authors` social performance as news articulists and their roles as educators or colonial managers. Primary sources, as newspapers, help accomplish this work.

Abstract:
C’est une « certaine idée de la France » que cette thèse se propose de dépeindre à travers l’histoire de l’Académie des Sciences coloniales (ASC), aujourd’hui Académie des Sciences d’Outre-mer, de sa création en 1922 aux années 1970. Contribuant à l’étude des « sciences coloniales » et de leur rapport au pouvoir, l’examen de cette société savante est une porte d’entrée vers plusieurs champs relatifs à la pensée coloniale et ses prolongements. Généraliste, pluridisciplinaire et modelée par des personnalités parmi les plus influentes de l’ancien « parti colonial », l’ASC est représentative des milieux coloniaux de l’entre-deux-guerres. L’étude de sa composition permet de cerner les contours d’une véritable « classe coloniale », intégrée à la classe dirigeante française, farouchement souverainiste et chantre de la « notion d’empire ». La pensée qu’incarnent ces coloniaux associe intimement l’universalisme du messianisme républicain français, et le relativisme particulariste propre à la domination de l’Autre. Ces deux postulats théoriquement opposés ont longtemps été traduits par la formulation d’une contradiction dans l’idée d’une République colonisatrice. L’expression « République lointaine », qui décrit à la fois une réalité géographique et une approche conceptuelle, est forgée à l’occasion de ce travail pour récuser ce faux paradoxe. Il s’agit ainsi d’analyser les évolutions de cette pensée, dont les deux composantes caractérisent l’ensemble de la période étudiée.La résilience et les adaptations de cette Académie, qui survit à sa raison d’être et en devient le conservatoire mémoriel, méritent enfin une attention toute particulière. Par ce prisme, on parcourt les conversions terminologique, thématique et réticulaire de la classe coloniale dans son ensemble. Décolonisation des mots, introduction des thèmes fédérateurs que sont la coopération et la francophonie, dilution et ouverture internationale de l’ancienne classe coloniale sont au cœur de cette transition
This thesis proposes to study a “ certain vision“ of France through the History of the Académie des Sciences coloniales (ASC) now called the Académie des Sciences d’Outre-mer, since its formation in 1922 until the 1970’s. Contributing to the analysis of the “colonial sciences” and its connections with the centre of power, the research about this society of experts is a gateway towards several fields regarding the colonial thought and its developments.Generalist, multidisciplinary and created by some of very important personalities from the ancient “parti colonial”, the ASC is representative of the French colonial circles of the interwar period. The study of its composition allows us to outline a real “colonial class”, part of the French ruling class, fiercely sovereignist and promoting the “empire notion”. The thought which embodies these “coloniaux” combines closely the universalism of the French Republic messianism and the particularist relativism proper to the domination of “the Other”. Those two postulates are theoretically opposite. For a long time, the historiography has presented the fact that the colonisation by the French republic is contradictory to its original premise. The expression “République lointaine” (“Distant Republic”) which is both a geographic reality and a conceptual approach is forged to refute this false paradox. This work leads to an analysis of this thought evolution.The resilience and the adaptation of this Academy, which outlasts its fundamental purpose, becoming its “memorial repository”, deserve at least a specific attention. Through this research subject, we observe terminological, thematic and reticular conversions of the entire “colonial class”. Decolonization of words, introduction of the integrating themes of cooperation and francophonie, dilution of the former “colonial class” and its opening to the international networks, are indeed crucial to understand this transition

Abstract:
The distribution of resources is vital to any system or society. This is particularly true of social insect colonies where independent access to resources is not available to all members. Only a fraction of individuals are responsible for obtaining food for the colony from outside the nest. Surprisingly little is known about how this food is subsequently distributed to members inside the nest. The work in this thesis is focused around a set of food distribution experiments conducted using four colonies of the ant Temnothorax albipennis. The study applies a well-used technique in a new way to investigate the distribution of food under two different scenarios: feeding under normal conditions and famine relief feeding after a period of starvation. All ants in each colony are marked and then individually tracked recording every feeding interaction to obtain a complete network of food transmission. This work has shown that all four colonies efficiently relieved the famine within 30 minutes of introducing new food. This process was facilitated by workers abandoning their spatial structure and expanding their space use; feeding multiple recipients from a single donor; and simultaneously spreading stored food and new food. Recruitment of foragers did not play a major role in relieving the famine but foragers were responsible for most of the first round of feeding. The study revealed that not all members received the same amount of food and most ants received food in multiple feeding interactions. The transmission pathways used to distribute the food present an opportunity for harmful substances to spread. The pathways are explored in this context to see whether the colonies might aim to minimize the spread by partitioning the pathways or maximise spread by mixing to promote social immunity. The study reveals behavioural differences between the four colonies which are likely to result from the inherent variation in demographic and geometric properties. These differences highlight the flexibility of ant colonies during problem solving under different conditions.

Abstract:
In the early 17th century, Portugal and Spain shared territory and enemies, with Portugal experiencing previously peaceful countries such as Holland and England as threats to its colonies and trade and Spain experiencing attacks from the English and Dutch in its overseas colonies. Loosely consolidated colonial cities were established to consolidate footholds in under-exploited territories and for the defense of these territories. The foundation and maintenance of these cities were subject to the intervention of military and military engineers, aiming this article to understand the urban form resulting from this action, using urban morphology as a discipline of analysis. Although they do not correspond exactly, by analyzing the layouts of both cities, we realize that they are characterized by similar principles, such as orthogonality and the proximity of the main squares near the river, as well as the role of natural obstacles as boundaries and defense. Although the physical distance between the two cities is considerable, the Portuguese and Spanish intentions and layouts converged in a typology identified by us here. Keywords: Iberoamerican Cities; Colonial History; Belém; Valdivia. No início do século XVII, Portugal e Espanha compartilharam território e inimigos, com Portugal a ver países anteriormente pacíficos como a Holanda e a Inglaterra como ameaças às suas colônias e comércio e Espanha a sofrer ataques de ingleses e holandeses nas suas colónias ultramarinas. Cidades coloniais pouco consolidadas foram estabelecidas para consolidar pontos de apoio em territórios pouco explorados e para a defesa destes territórios. A fundação e manutenção dessas cidades foram objecto da intervenção de militares e engenheiros militares, procurando este artigo perceber a forma urbana resultante desta actuação, recorrendo à morfologia urbana como disciplina de análise. Embora não correspondam exatamente, ao analisar-se os traçados de ambas as cidades, percebemos que são caracterizados por princípios semelhantes, como a ortogonalidade e a proximidade das principais praças junto ao rio, bem como o papel dos obstáculos naturais como limite e defesa. Embora a distância física entre as duas cidades seja considerável, as intenções e traçados portugueses e espanhóis convergiram numa tipologia por nós aqui identificada.

Full text
Abstract:
Breeding colonies of wading birds (orders Ciconiiformes, Pelecaniformes) and seabirds (orders Suliformes, Pelecaniformes) serve as important indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, as they respond to changes in food abundance and quality, contaminants, invasive species, and disturbance. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, Restoration Coordination & Verification program (CERP-RECOVER) has identified wading-bird colonies as an important ecosystem restoration indicator. The National Park Service South Florida/Caribbean Inventory & Monitoring Network (SFCN) ranked colonial nesting birds eighth out of 44 vital signs of park natural resource conditions for ecological significance and feasibility. However, while large-scale monitoring efforts are occurring in the rest of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, only minimal historic data collection and no extensive ongoing monitoring of wading bird and seabird nesting have occurred in Biscayne National Park. Consequently, due to their high importance as biological indicators and because they are a gap occurring in regional monitoring efforts, the network has initiated a monitoring program of colonial nesting birds in Biscayne National Park. This protocol provides the rationale, approach, and detailed Standard Operating Procedures for annual colonial bird monitoring within and close to Biscayne National Park and conforms to the Oakley et al. (2003) guidelines for National Park Service long-term monitoring protocols. The specific objectives of this monitoring program are to determine status and long-term trends in: Numbers and locations of active colonies of colonial nesting birds with a special focus on Double-crested Cormorants, Great Egrets, Great White Herons, Great Blue Herons, White Ibises, and Roseate Spoonbills. Annual peak active nest counts of colonial nesting birds in Biscayne National Park with a special focus on the species mentioned above. An annual nesting index (i.e., sum of monthly nest counts) with a special focus on the species mentioned above. Timing of peak nest counts for the focal species.

Abstract:
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses pose a severe risk to the food chain. The IAPV (Israeli acute paralysis virus) was correlated with CCD, a particular case of colony collapse. Honey bees severely infected with IAPV show shivering wings that progress to paralysis and subsequent death. Bee viruses, including IAPV, are widely present in honey bee colonies but often there are no pathological symptoms. Infestation of the beehive with Varroa mites or exposure to stress factors leads to significant increase in viral titers and fatal infections. We hypothesized that the honey bee is regulating/controlling IAPV and viral infections in asymptomatic infections and this control is broken through "stress" leading to acute infections and/or CCD. Our aims were: 1. To discover genetic changes in IAPV that may affect tissue tropism in the host, and/or virus infectivity and pathogenicity. 2. To elucidate mechanisms used by the host to regulate/ manage the IAPV-infection in vivo and in vitro. To achieve the above objectives we first studied stress-induced virus activation. Our data indicated that some pesticides, including myclobutanil, chlorothalonil and fluvalinate, result in amplified viral titers when bees are exposed at sub lethal levels by a single feeding. Analysis of the level of immune-related bee genes indicated that CCD-colonies exhibit altered and weaker immune responses than healthy colonies. Given the important role of viral RNA interference (RNAi) in combating viral infections we investigated if CCD-colonies were able to elicit this particular antiviral response. Deep-sequencing analysis of samples from CCD-colonies from US and Israel revealed high frequency of small interfering RNAs (siRNA) perfectly matching IAPV, Kashmir bee virus and Deformed wing virus genomes. Israeli colonies showed high titers of IAPV and a conserved RNAi pattern of targeting the viral genome .Our findings were further supported by analysis of samples from colonies experimentally infected with IAPV. Following for the first time the dynamics of IAPV infection in a group of CCD colonies that we rescued from collapse, we found that IAPV conserves its potential to act as one lethal, infectious factor and that its continuous replication in CCD colonies deeply affects their health and survival. Ours is the first report on the dominant role of IAPV in CCD-colonies outside from the US under natural conditions. We concluded that CCD-colonies do exhibit a regular siRNA response that is specific against predominant viruses associated with colony losses and other immune pathways may account for their weak immune response towards virus infection. Our findings: 1. Reveal that preventive measures should be taken by the beekeepers to avoid insecticide-based stress induction of viral infections as well as to manage CCD colonies as a source of highly infectious viruses such as IAPV. 2. Contribute to identify honey bee mechanisms involved in managing viral infections.

Abstract:
The goal of this project is to improve failure pressure estimates of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) colonies by advancing field measurements and comparison to in-line inspection (ILI) tool data. Electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) ILI technologies have made significant strides in providing crack depth measurements for SCC colonies, and emerging technologies such as ultrasonic testing (UT) imaging are providing more accurate in-ditch validation data. A project was proposed to improve failure pressure estimates, with 3 tasks spanning 3 years. This report covers the results of year 1 (task 1) which includes the development of ultrasonic imaging processes and procedures for gathering accurate in-ditch measurements of depth, length and separation for SCC. Year 2 (task 2) comprised filed trials of the ultrasonic imaging and collections and analysis of EMAT data. Validation will be performed and improvements to signal analysis for crack sizing and interaction will be made as needed. Year 3 (task 3) work will include validation by means of burst tests to evaluated the performance of the model that predicts failure pressure based on ultrasonic imaging measurements. The main focus of year 1 was comparing the dimensions of SCC colonies measured by X-ray computed tomography (XCT) to IWEX ultrasound imaging for thirty 4-in (10 cm) wide plates containing SCC colonies. For truth data, two of these samples were destructively evaluated by breaking open cracks frozen in liquid nitrogen and sectioning through multiple parallel cracks with subsequent polishing of samples. Comparisons of the XCT and IWEX to the freeze break sample results are presented in this report across profiles of cracks in an SCC colony.

Full text
Abstract:
Phase one report: Crack fields (colonies) in dents are often observed in liquid pipe lines. Because of their colonial appearance, these cracks in dents are often thought to be associated with stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, a recent full-scale dent fatigue testing under a PRCI mechanical damage program showed that crack colonies in dents can be produced by fatigue. This observation facilitated PRCI to launch a further study of the cracking mechanism in dents using samples extracted from a liquid pipeline. A total of 6 pipe samples containing dent with crack/metal loss were investigated. Evidences from this investigation showed that cracks in dents are aligned in an axial direction with appearance similar to crack colony. Fractographic analyses showed that the mechanism for cracking in these dents was fatigue. No evidence of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was found. Fractographic analyses also showed that cracks in the colony were associated with a corrosion pit, suggesting corrosion pits are the initiation sites for fatigue crack. A combination of corrosion pitting and fatigue crack growth is the overall mechanism for the observed cracking, that is, corrosion may be the first degrading mechanism followed by the fatigue crack growth. Based on the understanding of the mechanism for cracking, a review is given to the currently available pit-to-crack transition and overall life prediction models. Applicability and limitations of these models to cracks in dent are discussed. Gaps and areas for further study are discussed. An example of rate competing between pit and crack growth and for overall life estimate is illustrated. In this report, sample selection and the approach used in this investigation are presented first. The findings from fractographic analysis are summarized. Currently available modelling efforts for pitto-fatigue are reviewed. Gaps and further research areas are discussed.
