Abstract:
This study tested the hypothesis that the introduced yabbie Cherax destructor Clark, 1936 has the potential to compete with the endemic marron Cherax cainii Austin, 2002 for food resources. Multiple stable isotope analyses were conducted in the Hutt River, Western Australia, in summer (December) and winter (July), 2003. Summer samples indicated that these species occupied similar predatory trophic positions when their assimilated diet consisted of a large proportion of Gambusia holbrooki. Although C. cainii continued to assimilate mostly animal matter based on winter signatures, those of C. destructor appeared to shift towards a more herbivorous trophic position. The study suggests that C. destructor and C. cainii may be keystone species in the Hutt River, possibly altering the cycling of nutrients and structure of the aquatic food web since their introduction into this system. The ecological implications of the continued invasion of C. destructor into the aquatic systems of south-western Australia, particularly with regard to competition with the other endemic freshwater crayfishes, are discussed.

Abstract:
In between Whakamaru (1949-56) and Maraetai (1946-53) dams, on the Waikato River, sits Mangakino. Planned and built from c.1948 to 1951, by the Town Planning section of the Ministry of Works, the civic centre was to provide housing and services for the work force on the Maraetai scheme. The architectural design of these dams has previously been discussed as the work of émigré architect, Fredrick Neumann/Newman (Leach), and the town, as that of Ernst Plischke (Lloyd-Jenkins, Sarnitz). In 1949 the plan for Mangakino was published, alongside the plan for Upper Hutt, in the February-March edition of the Design Review. As two "rapidly growing towns," Upper Hutt and Mangakino are briefly reviewed in the context of two essays ("Who wants community centres?" and "Community Centres" by HCD Somerset), an outline of the curriculum of the new School of Architecture and Town Planning, run by the Wellington Architectural Centre, and notification of the 1948 Town Planning Amendment Act. As published in the Design Review, the plan of Mangakino includes a church in the south west, with the sporting facilities to the north and Rangatira Drive flanking a shopping strip on the east. The church sits in a field of grass, isolated and apparently serene. In the drawing published in the monograph Ernst Plischke, however, this building has been cropped off. Focusing on the case of Mangakino, this essay will review the discourse of town planning for secular and religious community in the late 1940s. This era, framed by the end of World War II and the deepening of the Cold War, is seen as the context for industrial action, a changing sense of nationalism, and small town New Zealand as the site of civil dispute.

Abstract:
Landing at Te Whanganui a Tara in 1840, New Zealand Company settlers lost no time to construct the "England of the South" using familiar building materials of brick, stone, clay and mortar. Within months of settling at Pito-one (Petone), the newly arrived people not only experienced earthquakes, but also flooding of Te Awa kai Rangi (Hutt River). Consequently, the original plan to build the City of Britannia at Pito-one was transferred to Lambton Harbour at Pipitea and Te Aro. The construction of Wellington was severely disrupted by the first visitation occurring on 16 October 1848 when the Awatere fault ruptured releasing an earthquake of Mw 7.8. The earthquake sequence, lasting until October 1849, damaged nearly all masonry buildings in Wellington, including newly constructed Paremata Barracks. This event was soon followed by the 2nd visitation of 23 January 1855. This time it was a rupture of the Wairarapa fault and a huge 8.2 Mw earthquake lasting until 10 October 1855. Perceptions of buildings as "permanent" symbols of progress and English heritage were fundamentally challenged as a result of the earthquakes. Instead, the settlers looked to the survivors – small timber-framed buildings as markers of security and continued occupation. A small number of survivors will be explored in detail – Taylor-Stace Cottage, Porirua, and Homewood, Karori, both buildings of 1847 and both still in existence today. Also the ruins of Paremata Barracks as the only remnant of a masonry structure pre-dating 1848 in the Wellington region. There are also a few survivors of 1855 earthquake including Christ Church, Taita (1854) and St Joseph's Providence Porch, St Mary's College, Thorndon (1852). There are also the post-1855 timber-framed legacies of Old St Paul's Cathedral (1866), Government Buildings (1876) and St Peter's Church (1879). Improved knowledge about the historical evolution of perceptions of heritage in Wellington as a result of past earthquake visitations can help inform public education about heritage values, how to build today and strengthen existing buildings in readiness for future earthquake visitations.

Abstract:
Abstract The potential for fish production is very important as a necessary material for WPP PD in making policies. Estimation of fishery production potential is adjusted to aquatic ecosystem. The method used differs between running and stagnant water based on the shape of the water. Fishery resources in Indonesia, especially inland fisheries, still cannot be managed and utilized optimally and sustainably. The method used in estimating fishery stocks in the watershed is the Leger-Huet method. Research to estimate fish production potential using the benthic biomass approach using the Leger-Huet method was carried out in February, June, and October 2019 in the Sumani River and Ombilin River, Singkarak Lake. The research objective was to determine the estimated value of fish production potential through the benthic biomass approach in the Sumani River (Inlet) and Ombilin River (Outlet), Singkarak Lake. The calculation of benthic biomass and fish production potential was carried out at the Testing Laboratory of the Research Institute for Inland Fisheries and Extension in Palembang. This system is expected to be able to provide alternative solutions for decision-making and agencies to determine the potential for fish production in an area. The determination of the potential for fish production using the benthic biomass approach is highly dependent on the width of the river. The results showed that the types of benthos in the Sumani and Ombilin rivers were 5 classes and 17 families. The benthos found by the Ombilin River are more varied than those in the Sumani River, and the estimated fish production potential of the Ombilin River is greater than that of the Sumani River. The highest yield of benthic biomass was found in the Ombilin River (159.06 gr/m2) compared to the Sumani River (76.06 gr/m2). Meanwhile, the average potential fish production in the Batang Sumani River (573.8 (kg/ha) is higher than in the Ombilin River (244.74 kg/ha).

Abstract:
Since prehistoric time, indigenous peoples throughout Eurasia have hunted reindeer from boats when the animals were swimming across rivers. A number of landscape peculiarities and reindeer behavior features determine the phenomena of mass reindeer river crossings at a few points. Hunting at river crossings occurs predominantly in the autumn season along migration routes of tundra and forest-tundra populations. In the past, many of the well-known river cross¬ings were in private possession by indigenous families (Anonymous, 1945). In northern Russia, since the 1970s, the reindeer river crossings became the place of commercial slaughter of reindeer. The state hunting husbandry "Taymyrsky" was established, it received licenses for hunting and then totally regulated who was permitted to hunt reindeer and where (Sarkin, 1977). Step by step, most of the indigenous peoples have been forced out of their traditional hunting locations by aggressive non-indigenous newcomers and became unemployed. Large-scale commercial hunting has led to overexploitation and the decline of reindeer populations in Yakutia and Taymyr. The sustainable use of migratory reindeer populations, as well as renaissance of hunting economies, are possible if exclusive use of some of the reindeer river crossings are returned to indigenous communities as their property, with others to be used by urban hunters and commercial enterprises under the improved state regulations and enforcement.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] This ethnoecological study examines land uses by modern Martu Aboriginal people on their country. They occupy very remote settlements—Parnngurr, Punmu and Kunawarritji—in the Great and Little Sandy Deserts. In 1990, their country included Crown Lands and Rudall River National Park. The study investigated the proposition that the knowledge and practices of Martu were of direct relevance to ecosystem processes and national park management. This research commenced in the wider Australian research context of the late 1980s – early 90s when prevailing questions were about the role of customary harvest within contemporary Aboriginal society (Altman 1987; Devitt 1988) and the sustainability of species-specific harvests by Australian indigenous people (Bomford & Caughley 1996). Separately, there was a national line of enquiry into Aboriginal roles in natural resource and protected area management (Williams & Hunn 1986; Birckhead et al. 1992). The field work underpinning this study was done in 1986–1988 and quantitative data collected in 1990 whilst the researcher lived on Martu settlements. Ethnographic information was gathered from informal discussions, semi-structured interviews and participant observation on trips undertaken by Martu. A variety of parameters was recorded for each trip in 1990. On trips accompanied by the researcher, details on the plant and animal species collected were quantified. Martu knowledge and observations of Martu behaviour are interpreted in terms of the variety of land uses conducted and transport strategies including vehicle use; the significance of different species collected; socio-economic features of bush food collection; spatio-temporal patterns of foraging; and, the 'management' of species and lands by Martu. The research found that in 1990, hunting and gathering were major activities within the suite of land uses practiced by Martu. At least 40% of trips from the settlements were principally to hunt. More than 43 animal species and 37 plant food species were reported to be collected during the study; additionally, species were gathered for firewood, medicines and timber artefacts. Customary harvesting persisted because of the need for sustenance, particularly when there were low store supplies, as well as other reasons. The weight of bush meats hunted at least equalled and, occasionally, was three times greater than the weights of store meats available to Parnngurr residents. ... Paradoxically, hunting was a subject of significant difference despite it being the principal activity driving Martu expertise and practice. There is potential for comanagement in the National Park but it remains contingent on many factors between both Martu and DEC as well as external to them. The dissertation suggests practical strategies to enhance co-management.

Abstract:
This chapter examines a resurgence of the American independent tradition of documentary-style social realism that inspired and enabled women filmmakers in the 1980s in recent films by Debra Granik (Winter’s Bone, 2010), Courtney Hunt (Frozen River, 2008), and Kelly Reichardt (Meek’s Cutoff, 2011), among others. These films adapt an international ‘neo neorealist’ aesthetic and ethos to expose the detrimental effects of neoliberal austerity on working-class women’s lives. Such realism is by no means ‘pure’, however, Badley argues, as these filmmakers incorporate melodrama and reappropriate mainstream ‘male’ genre tropes in the interest of highlighting feminist characterisations and ‘moments’ within their films, while appealing to a wider audience than otherwise, to offer visible interventions within the Indiewood sector.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the ways that the poet’s seminal work “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” engages a discrete geopolitical space rather than a generic African continent. While the poem names four rivers on three continents, references such as “I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep” are typically read as romantic. Although the poem’s political allusions may not be apparent to readers in the twenty-first century, at the time of its writing, the Belgian Congo was less than a generation removed from a massive international human rights campaign in which African Americans played a central role. Given the extensive coverage of the Congo in the NAACP’s Crisis magazine, which first published “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” contemporary readers of Hughes could not have avoided recognizing the Congo as a categorically political trope, which is instrumental in Hughes’s work from the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s to the 1960s.

Abstract:
In 1821 a man came exploring across the prairies and plains of the North American continent. His name was Jacob Fowler, and with his companions he would be the first Euro-American to ascend the whole length of the Arkansas River from what is now Fort Smith, Arkansas, to the Rocky Mountains. After eight days of poling against the current, “we stoped,” he writes in his untutored spelling, “at the mouth of a bold sreem of Watter” emptying into the Arkansas, a tributary about seventy feet wide. They followed that stream north through the sand hills that cover part of present-day Reno and Rice counties in the state of Kansas. Only a few cottonwood trees grew along its banks, affording scant shelter from the big sky, but the bluestem grass was so high one could not see the river ahead as it meandered across the prairie. Beyond the rich moist bottomlands the vegetation became buffalo grass, and the bison grazed there in black, drifting multitudes; the local Indians called the stream after the female bison, a name that became “Cow Creek” in the white man’s tongue. There were pronghorn antelopes in those days, so light and agile, counterpointing the shaggy herds. Fowler and his crew might also have seen deer, elk, coyotes, and dense flocks of ducks and geese. Then, their curiosity satisfied and their senses pleased, they pushed on west. Fowler had no idea that almost three centuries earlier another European, Don Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, had come here from the opposite direction, crossing this very same Cow Creek on his quest for the fabled city of Quivira. Coronado found in the vicinity only the Wichita Indians living in domed huts thatched with grass, but he did remark that . . . the country itself is the best I have ever seen for producing all the products of Spain, for besides the land itself being very fat and black, and being very well watered by the rivulets and springs and rivers, I found prunes like those of Spain and nuts and very good sweet grapes and mulberries. . . .

Abstract:
In each person’s life a particular place may stand out—a place where one spent a lot of time, a place one grew to love and recall for so many happy memories. Such a place for me was the Shack, on the floodplain of the Wisconsin River. In summertime, standing by the river, it was incredibly quiet, except for the occasional call of a kingfisher. It often seemed that high overhead one could hear a kind of humming. Look up and there were barn swallows turning in the air catching insects. Look down and the surface of the river was always quietly in motion, and rippling against a snag in the shallows. We were a hunting and fishing family. Although camping on weekends early on became a family tradition in Wisconsin, Dad got it into his head to buy a piece of land of our own on which we could camp, hunt, fish, swim, and study nature and even do some bow hunting. He also had a real itch to practice a new idea, ecological restoration, on his own land. At the dedication ceremony of the University of Wisconsin Arboretum on June 17, 1934, Dad told the audience: “The time has come for science to busy itself with the earth itself. The first step is to reconstruct a sample of what we had to start with. That, in a nut shell, is the Arboretum.” He was looking for a place of our own to do just that as well—“a place to show what the land was, what it is, and what it ought to be.” It was in January of 1934; Dad asked an archery friend of his in Prairie du Sac, Ed Ochsner, to help him locate and lease some land near the Wisconsin River. They visited an eighty-acre piece in the south-central part of the state northeast of Baraboo. Dad apparently thought it would fit his purposes. By paying the taxes we could buy the land for just eight dollars an acre.

Abstract:
The votive assemblages that form the primary archaeological evidence for non-funerary cult in the Neolithic, Bronze, and early Iron Ages in central Italy indicate that there is a long tradition of religious activity in Latium and Etruria in which buildings played no discernible role. Data on votive deposits in western central Italy is admittedly uneven: although many early votive assemblages from Latium have been widely studied and published, there are few Etruscan comparanda; of the more than two hundred Etruscan votive assemblages currently known from all periods, relatively few date prior to the fourth century BC, while those in museum collections are often no longer entire and suffer from a lack of detailed provenance as well as an absence of excavations in the vicinity of the original find. Nevertheless, it is possible to recognize broad patterns in the form and location of cult sites prior to the Iron Age, and thus to sketch the broader context of prehistoric rituals that pre-dated the construction of the first religious buildings. In the Neolithic period (c.6000–3500 BC), funerary and non-funerary rituals appear to have been observed in underground spaces such as caves, crevices, and rock shelters, and there are also signs that cults developed around ‘abnormal water’ like stalagmites, stalactites, hot springs, and pools of still water. These characteristics remain visible in the evidence from the middle Bronze Age (c.1700–1300 BC). Finds from this period at the Sventatoio cave in Latium include vases containing traces of wheat, barley seed cakes, and parts of young animals including pigs, sheep, and oxen, as well as burned remains of at least three children. The openair veneration of underground phenomena is also implied by the discovery of ceramic fragments from all phases of the Bronze Age around a sulphurous spring near the Colonelle Lake at Tivoli. Other evidence of cult activities at prominent points in the landscape, such as mountain tops and rivers, suggests that rituals began to lose an underground orientation during the middle Bronze Age. By the late Bronze Age (c.1300–900 BC) natural caves no longer seem to have served ritual or funerary functions.

Abstract:
A wide variety of ingenious methods for collecting river turtles have been developed over time. None requires a particularly high level of technology but many require a great deal of skill, patience, and sometimes physical ability by the collectors, as well as a detailed knowledge of the ecology of the species being sought. Many parallel collecting methods have developed independently in turtle-dependent cultures around the world, leading Nicholls (1977) to state in regard to Bates’s (1863) description of an Amazonian turtle hunt, “With some allowance for small differences in technique, his descriptions provide an accurate image of turtle hunting as it was practiced anytime, anywhere, during the past thousands of years.” We thought that a summary of these techniques with comment upon their variation in different areas and with different species, their effects on populations when this can be ascertained, and examples of their practitioners would be an appropriate addition to our treatment of river turtle exploitation patterns. We will limit our discussion mainly to techniques employed by subsistence and commercial turtlers for obtaining animals and largely omit reference to the growing body of information concerning the collection of turtles for scientific purposes (many of which are largely modifications of the former techniques). For information concerning the latter category the reader is referred to the excellent summary of equipment and techniques by Plummer (1979) and papers by Carr and Marchand (1942), Chaney and Smith (1950), Legler (1960b), Ream and Ream (1966), Wahlquist (1970), Bider and Hoek (1971), Braid (1974), Robinson and Murphy (1975), MacCulloch and Gordon (1978), Iverson (1979), Petokas and Alexander (1979), Vogt (1980b), Frazer et al. (1990), Kennett (1992), Graham and Georges (1996), Jensen (1998), and Kuchling (2003b). Free diving for turtles is of course a time-honored, effective, and nearly cosmopolitan approach to collecting turtles that requires little or no equipment. While diving mask, fins and sophisticated breathing gear certainly enhance the process, they are not required by skilled divers in order to harvest large numbers of turtles.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter demonstrates that under state management, Starved Rock State Park grew in popularity. The park provided specialists from the US Army Corps of Engineers with a training area to master the military art of pontoon bridge assembly in preparation for the Allied invasion of Germany in World War II. Equally important, the park was where locals came to work and to relax in the 1950s and 1960s, and it is where today over two million people come to hike, camp, picnic, fish, hunt, and enjoy nature every year. However, the very geologic composition of Starved Rock and its environs has created a new challenge for the twenty-first century. Sand companies now mine silica sand near the park. The challenge is one of balance between protection of the park's fragile natural resources versus the competing interests of local governments and residents desiring new employment opportunities. In addition, the Starved Rock Dam, completed in 1933, raised the level of the Illinois River above the dam about ten feet. Nevertheless, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources employees at Starved Rock State Park are dedicated to preserving and maintaining the park and to serving park visitors.

Abstract:
<p>This project originates from the need to provide seismic resilient solution for water supply to Wellington and Porirua. With other factors influencing the design, the pipeline crossing must withstand seismic loads including the rupture event of the Wellington Fault with movement of +/-6.5 m parallel to the river stream</p><p>The option study for the pipeline crossing concluded on using a bridge structure spanning the river and the geological Fault. This network arch bridge structure selected is provided with enough movement capacity to withstand the effects of the fault rupture movement without failure.</p><p>The length of the bridge structure is defined so to match the differential rotations between the supports to the allowable limits for the pipeline flex joints. To resist these seismic effects, the structure is provided with seismic restrainers that, at the same time as supporting the seismic load, provide enough rotation capability to accommodate movements on the foundations due to the Fault’s ruptureevent.</p>

Abstract:
The 408 km × 34" PERULNG pipeline (operated by Hunt LNG Operating Company) is monitored in its first 62 km by a geotechnical fiber optic cable, since these first 62 km are exposed to major geohazard threats such as landslides, large river crossings, high slopes, bofedales, etc. The fiber optic cable geotechnical monitoring relies on the measurement of strain and temperature in the pipeline right-of-way. Due to the continuous and real-time monitoring of the duct, it was possible to detect a tension cracking near KP 25 + 600 as an abnormal temperature change was captured by the temperature sensing cable; also near KP 27 + 900 and KP 34 + 750 unusual cable stresses were detected which announced landslides of the rotational type in both locations. In these three cases, protection decisions could be taken to secure pipeline’s integrity.
