Abstract:

Abstract: Great Plains literature has long been dominated by the pioneer ideal put forth by authors such as Willa Cather. This essay claims that a thread of contemporary authors of the region are now challenging these myths and creating works that engage a repressed history of the Great Plains through a use of the Gothic genre. In her three collections of Wyoming stories, Annie Proulx creates a sober picture of the region that focuses on painful aspects such as isolation, violence, and an unforgiving landscape. Her fiction makes use of a wide range of Gothic tropes and builds on the tradition of the Southern Gothic. After defining a Great Plains Gothic and examining Proulx's work, the essay concludes by exploring other contemporary Plains writers working in a Gothic mode and countering mythic depictions of the region, several of whom take a particular focus on the repressed history concerning the oppression of Native Americans.

Abstract:

This article uncovers the gothic tropes manifest in the “rotten” food, human bodies, landscapes, and rain in Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms through an eco-gothic perspective. It demonstrates how the rotten food, the disjointed bodies, the broken landscapes, and the gothic rain can be viewed in the novel as counter-narratives against the narratives of war, the military, and modern medicine. The first part of this article suggests interpreting war as a form of cannibalism by exploring the representations of rotten food and the connection between eating and killing. Next, the author focuses on how the body is fragmented both metaphorically and literally by the discourse of war, the military, and medical science. The third part uncovers the non-anthropocentric consciousness embedded within the protagonist’s narrative, followed by the gothicizing and romanticization of nature in the fourth section. Here, the protagonist’s linking of the human body to the natural landscape, the descriptions of the gothic rain, and the romanticized snow—all these, as the author argues, can be interpreted as a collective resistance against industrial, anthropocentric warfare.

Abstract:

This article examines the pioneering American weird literature writer Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914) through the critical lens of the ecogothic, arguing that he resituates the gothic within the real or imagined landscapes of the American frontier, his ‘frontier gothic’ epitomized by the image of ‘the cabin in the woods’. In his writings, the frontier gothic becomes transitional boundary genre on the ‘frontier’ between the earlier gothic and later folk horror, where not just isolated cabins of lone prospectors, but whole rural communities find themselves in a similarly abject, ruinous moral condition. The liminal ‘frontier’ nature of the ecogothic is repeated in miniature in the specific way in which abandoned cabins in isolated gulches become ecogothic ‘day-old’ ruins, quite distinct from a gothic ruin in its lacking civilized boundaries between interior and exterior, culture and nature, epitomized by the image of ‘blank windows’ and doorless doorways.

Abstract:

In this essay, the reminiscences of Margaret Fuller, feminist activist and member of the American Transcendentalist movement, from her journey to the Great Lakes region, entitled Summer on the Lakes (1844), are considered in the light of EcoGothic considerations. The essay shows how Fuller’s journey disillusioned her about progress and led to abandoning the serene vision of nature and landscapes reflected in the works of Transcendentalists. The destruction of nature and landscape verging on an ecological catastrophe is presented by Fuller in the perspective of the Gothic, as a price for the technological development driven by the capitalist economy. The Gothic character of Summer on the Lakes derives from the mental condition of the writer and a pessimistic vision arising from the debunking of the myth of America as a virgin land. Fuller’s work constitutes an EcoGothic tribute to the indigenous inhabitants of America—but also a Gothic live burial of the Native Americans who do still live in the regions she visits—as well as to Mariana and Frederica, unusual and gothicized women excluded from society. By bringing together Fuller’s observations about nature, indigenous peoples and marginalized women, the essay shows how Fuller’s text prophetically announces the beginning of the end of the American environment.

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines the ways in which Agatha Christie's fictional villages may be interpreted as fundamentally gothic spaces. It makes the case that within the novels The Murder at the Vicarage (1930) and The Moving Finger (1943), outdoor spaces do not offer the potential release from captivity that is set out in more traditional gothic paradigms. Instead, exterior landscapes surrounding and connecting homes function as a continuation of domestic interiority, thus acting as able accomplices in a gothic transformation of ‘home’ into ‘prison’. By examining the shifting meanings of panoptic surveillance present within these villages, and the outward extension of private family romances into more public forms of cruelty and humiliation, this article suggests that far from creating idyllic exemplars of English rurality, Christie's fictional villages work to unmask the dark, ‘unhomely’ core that lies buried at the very heart of the English ‘Home Counties’.

Abstract:

The article deals with Mikhail Bakhtin’s term «the chronotope of the castle» analysed on the material of two New England Gothic novels – «The House of the Seven Gables» by Nathaniel Hawthorne and «The Haunting of Hill House» by Shirley Hardie Jackson. The author assumes that chronotope is not just a spacetime characteristic, but a set of motifs – the motive of dark past, the motif of spatial and temporal isolation, and the motif of «sentient» house. All of these motifs were used by classic Gothic novel writers of the 1760s to 1830s, and were as well employed in later quasi-Gothic texts. At the turn of the 19th century, Gothic novel commenced its parallel development in American literature, where it subsequently became one of the national genres. American writers aspired to adapt Gothic poetics to the cultural context of the country. For instance, in New England Gothic fi ction, the chronotope of the castle was transformed into the chronotope of the «bad» house. However, the set of motifs has remained the same: both Hawthorne and Jackson consistently used the motifs, provided by British Gothic fi ction, yet they further explored them and came up with their own interpretations.

Abstract:

This paper will argue that there are similarities between “The Raven”, “The Fall of the House of Usher”, “Ligeia” and “Berenice” in their treatment of the common motifs of isolation and melancholy, and, furthermore, that their protagonists are similar due to their relation to these two motifs. The paper will also argue that the usage of the motif of isolation is a strategic way for the author to emphasise the Gothic horror. In order to support my argument, I will, firstly, provide an outline of how melancholy, isolation and the Gothic were understood in the nineteenth century. Secondly, I will demonstrate ways in which the works are similar. By comparing the characters’ personalities and behaviour to each other, I will illustrate how melancholy and isolation are represented in similar ways in the works of this study. Thirdly, I will show how the motif of isolation reinforces the Gothic.

Abstract:

Nell’ultimo decennio, l’Albania sta rivendicando il suo ruolo nel panorama turistico del Mediterraneo. Il turismo rappresenta una delle sfide piú grandi e un’opportunitá per il paese, sia per il suo rapido sviluppo che per il positivo impatto sull’economia nazionale con il rischio peró di sfruttamento fino all’esaurimento delle risorse naturali locali. A causa del suo sviluppo turistico molto recente, una parte significativa della tesi si concentra sulla creazione di un solido stato dell'arte, presentato in tre chiavi di lettura: geografia, storia ed economia del turismo. La dissertazione offre, infatti, una panoramica completa sull'evoluzione del turismo nel corso dell'ultimo secolo, la contestualizzazione del caso specifico dell'Albania su scala geográfica mondiale e una riflessione sull'impatto del turismo sull'economia nazionale. La ricerca si propone di esplorare la relazione tra paesaggio e turismo nelle aree costiere, formulando una risposta alla domanda di ricerca piú generica riguardante la definizione di un modello turistico che influenzi positivamente i paesaggi costieri a sud dell'Albania. Pertanto, il quadro teorico spazia dai modelli turistici alle teorie del paesaggio e dell'ecologia. I modelli turistici più conosciuti, scelti per la loro somiglianza con i principali casi di studio in termini di scala e risorse, sono presentati e analizzati al fine di definire le basi per la progettazione di un nuovo modello. La parte centrale si concentra sull'analisi dei paesaggi della costa sud dell'Albania - in termini di qualità e impatto del turismo, con l'obiettivo di inquadrare la sua evoluzione più recente e individuare le questioni critiche. La ricerca si conclude con la presentazione di un modello turistico concettuale, basato sulla reinterpretazione di quelli presentati in precedenza e composto da elementi appartenenti alla letteratura paesaggistica e integrati con le esperienze turistiche di altri casi di studio mediterranei. Il "modello a bolla" viene quindi applicato nell'area di studio con la proposta di creazione del Parco dei Paesaggi Protetti della Riviera, passando dalla teoria alla pratica. Una riflessione finale fornisce gli spunti per le ricerche future e apre una discussione sulla necessità di aggiornare il concetto di conservazione e protezione.
Throughout the last decade Albania has been claiming its spot in the Mediterranean touristic panorama. Tourism represents one of the main challenges and greatest opportunities for the country, due to its fast and positive impact on the economy countrywide but the risks of local natural resources being exploited are high. Due to such development, a significant part of the dissertation focuses on the creation of a solid state of art observed from three points of view: tourism geography, the history of tourism and tourism economy. The dissertation in fact provides a complete overview on the evolution of tourism over the last century, the contextualization of Albania’s specific case on a worldwide geographic scale and a reflection of the impact tourism has on the national economy. This research aims to explore the relationship between landscape and tourism in coastal regions, addressing the overall research question concerning the possibility of defining a tourism model that positively impacts southern Albania’s coastal landscapes. Therefore, the theoretical framework ranges from tourism models to landscape and ecology theories. The most well-known tourism models – chosen for their similarities to the main case study in terms of scale and resources - are presented and analyzed so as to settle the basis for the design of a new one. At first, southern Albania’s touristic landscapes and spaces - in terms of quality and impact of tourism – were analyzed to frame their evolution and single out critical issues. Upon making comparisons with other Mediterranean cases it was seen that they supported the choices made in the final part, in which a “bubble model” is described and transferred from theory to practice with the proposal of a Riviera Protected Landscape Park establishment. The conclusion provides input for further research and opens up a discussion about the need to re-interpret the concept of conservation and protection.

Abstract:

Denna uppsats undersöker gotiska teman som melankoli, isolering, galenskap och död i verk av Edgar Allan Poe och Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Utgångspunkt är följande forskningsfråga: På vilket sätt framträder melankoli, isolering, galenskap och död i de olika verken, samt vilka är likheterna och skillnaderna mellan hur temana framkommer? Metoden är grundad i tematisk analys, intertextualitet och komparation. De verk som analyseras i uppsatsen är Poes The Fall of The House Usher, Ligeia och Berenice. Verk av Lovecraft som analyserats är Cthulhu, The Color out of Space, The Tomb och Polaris. Resultaten visar att alla teman finns närvarande i verk av båda författarna, men att de tar olika former. Poes melankoli är till exempel mycket närmare hans karaktärer än Lovecrafts melankoli, som är mer kopplade till miljöer och objekt. Vidare visar undersökningen bland annat också att Poe inte fokuserar på fysiska dödsbeskrivningar utan på andra typer av död. Lovecrafts dödsbeskrivningar å andra sidan är mer externa och kopplade till monster.
This essay examines the presence of what is considered to be gothic themes such as melancholy, isolation, madness and death in works of Edgar Allan Poe and Howard Phillips Lovecraft. The following research question was formulated: In what way do melancholy, isolation, madness, and death appear in the various works, and what are the similarities and differences between how the themes emerge? Methods of thematic analysis, intertextuality and comparison are used. The works analysed in the essay are Poe’s The Fall of The House Usher, Ligeia and Berenice. The works analysed are also Lovecraft’s The call of Cthulhu, The Colour out of Space, The Tomb and Polaris. The results show that all the themes are present in works by both authors, but that they take different forms. Poe’s melancholy is for example much closer to his characters than Lovecrafts melancholy, which are more connected to environments and objects. The study also shows among other things, that Poe does not focus on physical death descriptions but on other types of death. Lovecraft's death descriptions on the other hand, are more external and linked to monsters.

SOZIO, GIULIA. "Mechanisms of species persistence in fragmented landscapes: A demographic field study on four rodent species." Doctoral thesis, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/11573/917753.

Abstract:

Habitat loss and fragmentation are key drivers of global species loss. In fragmented landscapes species must persist in small, isolated and often degraded habitat patches where they can be subject to high risk of extinction due to deterministic and stochastic forces. Species respond to habitat fragmentation according to species-specific life-history traits, with habitat generalist, edge or mobile species being less impacted compared to specialists and less mobile species. The impact of habitat fragmentation on species and their consequent probability of persistence depends on a series of key, concatenated events occurring at different biological and spatial scales. The response of single individuals to landscape change can translate into effects at the level of populations; coexisting species can reciprocally influence their responses through the alteration of interspecific relationships; inter-population dynamics can also occur, involving the movement of individuals between populations in different habitat fragments and affecting the persistence of entire systems of populations. Given the complexity of factors involved, including direct and interacting responses, it is extremely difficult to understand the actual effects triggered by habitat fragmentation without a thorough knowledge of the underlying ecological mechanisms. The aim of this PhD project was to contribute to understanding the mechanisms underlying the response of species to habitat fragmentation. By following a holistic approach, I used a set of mechanistic field studies on four rodent species specifically designed to investigate the series of key events involved in the persistence of species in fragmented landscapes: 1) Population and individual scale responses of small mammals to patch size, isolation and quality. The aim of this section was to determine the relative effects of landscape structure (habitat amount and configuration) and patch quality (here measured as abundance of shrub resources) on individuals (survival and litter size) and populations (density and colonization/extinction dynamics). A large-scale demographic field study was conducted, encompassing 30 woodland sites nested within three landscapes and surveyed monthly for three years by means of a capture-mark-recapture protocol. Model species was an arboreal rodent, the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius), known to be sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation. Habitat quality influenced populations at different biological scales by concatenated effects: it enhanced individual survival, increased the chances of colonizing vacant patches and sustained higher population densities. It was therefore related to the performance of single populations and systems of populations through re-colonization dynamics. Habitat quality, however, did not influence local extinction probability, which was ultimately related to the extent of available habitat, likely due to the absolute size of populations: a high absolute number of individuals reduces the chances of population extinction. 2) The role of interspecific interactions in shaping small mammal communities in fragmented landscapes. The aim of this section was to evaluate the strength of interspecific interactions as a shaping force of animal communities in fragmented landscapes. A large-scale demographic field study was conducted to measure the degree of competitive interference between species. Model system was constituted by the community of forest-dwelling ground rodents of central Italy, including the species Apodemus sylvaticus, Apodemus flavicollis and Myodes glareolus. Populations, inhabiting 29 wood patches in a fragmented landscape, were surveyed for two years by means of a capture-mark-recapture protocol. I modeled species' distribution as a function of landscape (habitat cover and connectivity provided by hedgerows) and habitat variables (vegetation structure and food resources) to look for evidences of competitive spatial segregation. Then I tested for each species the effect of competitors on several biological parameters: survival, recruitment, reproduction, body mass, population density. Even though populations' relative distribution was consistent with a mechanism of competitive spatial segregation, with habitat specialists being favored by high-quality, well-connected fragments and generalists exploiting more isolated and degraded patches, results on demographic parameters did not fully confirm this result. The strongest competitive effects were exerted by A. sylvaticus on A. flavicollis, whereas a little degree of interference was found between Apodemus spp. and M. glareolus. Nevertheless, competitive effects were weak, acting on a few biological parameters and not translating into strong effects at the level of populations (density of individuals). These results suggest that populations were mainly distributed according to their ecological requirements; competitive exclusion of specialists from isolated and degraded fragments was actually acting but was likely to play a minor role in determining the observed pattern of distribution. 3) Perceptual range and movement ability of small mammals in fragmented landscapes. The aim of this section was to broaden our understanding of animal orientation and movements in the agricultural matrix, with a special attention on the use of plantation rows as navigation cues. Experiments consisted in releasing individuals of forest-dwelling small mammals (species A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, M. glareolus) in fields characterized by different types of matrices: a bare field, a grass field with random pattern of vegetation, and a wheat field at three different stages of growth. Animals (N=119) were marked with fluorescent powder and released at progressive distances from target wood fragments; in this type of experiments individuals are assumed to go directly toward the wood as soon as they perceive it. Animal tracks were then analyzed to determine perceptual ranges and movement abilities. Perceptual ranges were species-specific, with habitat specialists perceiving woods at smaller distances compared to generalists. The presence of vegetation in the fields (either grass or wheat) strongly reduced perceptual ranges of all species by obstructing individuals' view. Furthermore, wheat plantation rows drastically influenced animal movements, possibly facilitating or hampering the reaching of a wood. Individuals of all species, in fact, followed the direction of wheat rows at any stage of growth, even if they were not directed toward the target wood. This study is one of the few examples investigating in detail the demographic mechanisms of response of species to habitat fragmentation. The holistic approach allowed me to provide an overview on the process by which factors such as landscape features, habitat characteristics, and co-occurring species affect the performance of populations in fragmented landscapes. Interspecific interactions play a minor role in shaping the community of small mammals in the studied system. A major role, instead, is played by landscape characteristics (such as habitat cover, connectivity, matrix properties) and local features (such as food resources and habitat structure), in both cases depending on species-specific life-history traits. Increased individual performance (e.g. due to habitat quality) can help to increase the viability of systems of populations; at the same time animals are constrained by the physical structure of the landscape where they live, and individual-scale effects are not necessarily transferred to the level of population. Results suggest that in order to increase the viability of animal systems in fragmented landscapes there is the need to manage the quality of habitat, which proves to be a major determinant of animal populations' performance. Nevertheless, findings also strongly suggest not to ignore the overall landscape context where populations are embedded. In landscapes that have been extensively cleared, restoration aimed to increase the amount of habitat and management of outside-patch landscape elements (hedgerows, agricultural fields) might also be a critical step to ensure the persistence of animal communities.

Abstract:

A study to characterize the steam waterhammer phenomena of a low pressure cooling injection (LPCI) system for a Mark 1 boiling water reactor (BWR) has been performed using RELAP5 and GOTHIC during a transient event. The scenario of particular interest was a manual switchover from shutdown cooling mode 3 to low pressure injection due to a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). This transient was initiated by opening the isolation valves of the two trains on a LPCI system into the torus. The torus was considered to be at atmospheric pressure and 20°C. The initial condition of the problem was set up such that the liquid was stagnant in the system. The initial temperature and pressure of the liquid, which was between the torus and isolation valves, was considered to be the same as the torus conditions. On the other hand, the initial condition of the liquid upstream of the isolation valves was chosen to be at 1 MPa and near saturation temperature. The analysis showed that the liquid in the system flashed into steam and discharged into the torus after the isolation valves started to open. Discharge of steam continued until the pressure in the LPCI system reached to a hydrostatic equilibrium with the torus. Following this, the cold liquid from the torus began to reflod the LPCI piping while condensing the steam at the liquid-steam interphase. This caused a mild steam waterhammer event when all of the steam condensed in the piping segments with closed ends. A sensitivity analysis showed that, the magnitude of the steam waterhammer predicted by both codes was sensitive to the number of nodes selected to model the piping, where the steam waterhammer phenomena occurred. Technical basis was obtained from the available literature and used as a guide to choose the number of nodes for the models in both codes. Once the steam waterhammer and the hydrodynamic properties associated with this transient were predicted by both codes, the forces exerted on critical pipe components were calculated. Also, selected thermal-hydraulic properties and hydrodynamic loads were compared between both code calculations. Comparisons showed reasonable agreements.

Abstract:

There is increasing pressure on urban landscapes surrounding Islamic pilgrimage sites to accommodate growing numbers of pilgrims. Recent developments have responded to this issue with comprehensive clearance of historic urban landscapes, constructing grand open spaces and dislocating local residents. The traditional expansion of Islamic pilgrimage sites was characterised by a layering of interconnected structures with continuous functions that merged gradually over time into the surrounding landscape. The rift between the traditional urban growth and the recent expansion approach across the Muslim world is inconsistent with international developments that seek to incorporate sustainable development into urban heritage conservation. To achieve sustainability, developments should meet intergenerational equity and protect the interests of stakeholders including the community. Literature has established two operational characteristics for sustainable development that helps gauging the extent to which it is integrated into practice: Stakeholder participation and strategic planning. Participatory processes create shared visons among stakeholders and facilitate long-term directions. However, in non-Western contexts where decision-making power and financial control reside in the central state, participation is either considered a threat to the state or its potential benefit is unrecognised. This paper argues where conservation objectives are determined by experts in isolation from the community’s interests, the plans fail to be achieved. This will be demonstrated by undertaking a comparative analysis of conservation proposals prepared by international heritage experts for Islamic pilgrimage sites of Mecca, Medina, Kāzimayn and Shiraz. Visited by millions of pilgrims annually, the four sites have similar clearance and expansion patterns. This paper analyses the extent of community participation integrated into these proposals as one of the significant operational dimensions of sustainable development and a crucial link that enhances strategic planning. Finally, by reflecting on site specifics and social methods, this paper recommends participatory methods to enhance community engagement.

Abstract:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter (GL) 96-06 [1] which required utilities to evaluate the potential for waterhammers in cooling water systems serving containment following a Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP) concurrent with a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) or Main Steam Line Break (MSLB). At Duke’s Oconee Nuclear Station, analysis and system testing in response to GL 96-06 concluded that waterhammers occur in the Low Pressure Service Water (LPSW) system during all LOOP events. Column Closure Waterhammers (CCWH) occur when the LPSW pumps restart following a LOOP and rapidly close vapor voids within the system, specifically, in the Reactor Building Cooling Unit (RBCU) and Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) motor piping. Condensation Induced Waterhammers (CIWH) occur when heated steam voids interact with sub-cooled water in long horizontal piping sections, specifically in the RBCU and Reactor Building Auxiliary Coolers (RBAC) piping. These waterhammers were not expected to result in pipe failure, but resulted in piping code allowable stresses being exceeded. Piping code compliance was achieved by installing modifications that prevent all GL 96-06 related waterhammers inside containment. Two modifications were designed and implemented. These modifications were designed to isolate the piping inside containment, the high point in the open loop system, in order to maintain it in a water solid state. This was accomplished by a valve closure scheme that is actuated by low LPSW supply header pressure. Additionally, “controllable vacuum breakers” (pneumatic valves) open on low LPSW supply header pressure to eliminate void formation and collapse while the isolation valves are closing. The pneumatic isolation valve arrangement is single failure proof to open and to close. The Waterhammer Prevention System (WPS) circuitry closes the valves by one of two digital channels consisting of relays, which are triggered by two of four analog channels consisting of a pressure transmitter/current switch. The valves re-open on increasing supply header pressure. A “leakage accumulator” was provided in the supply header to make-up any boundary valve leakage that may occur when the system is isolated. This provides for a larger allowable aggregate boundary valve leakage rate. The system response was predicted by a model using the thermal-hydraulic code GOTHIC. Following installation, an integrated test was successfully conducted by inducing a LOOP into the LPSW system.

Abstract:

<p>The White River Bridge will become a key link extending the regional Foothills Trail, which when complete will run more than 48-km through communities and scenic landscapes in the shadow of Mount Rainier. The three-span arch footbridge will become a destination where users can linger over the beautiful White River. It will also provide a much-needed secondary route for emergency vehicles.</p><p>The total bridge length of 174m is divided over three network arch spans. Network arches create a very transparent structure that is very stiff. The crisscrossing hanger pattern of the structure can carry heavy point loads from a fire truck without distressing members. Generous lookouts at the central pier will provide an area for users to linger and take in views of the river.</p><p>Key elements of the design included selection of the preferred geometry of the arch spans, optimization of the hanger pattern, fabrication and construction considerations, and seismic design approach using base isolation of the superstructure atop the supporting piers. The erection sequence of the large spans has been an up-front consideration with every effort to minimize disturbance to the wooded site. User experience and aesthetics are a focus of design, but with equal emphasis on economy and efficiency. This footbridge showcases how all these aspirations can be achieved with the right design approach.</p>

Abstract:

Ecosystem loss and fragmentation may be the greatest global threat to biodiversity. Loss and fragmentation—the isolation of habitats—are related and usually occur in conjunction. These processes are issues facing all environments, both terrestrial and aquatic, albeit in different ways. Fragmentation can occur due to natural causes but is increasing dramatically due to human activity. Consequences include decreased habitat size, negative edge effects and isolation of sub-populations. Managers must now add fragmentation to the list of potential issues when considering conservation plans. This module's exercise has two goals: 1) to explore, through a mapping exercise, what happens to a forested landscape as it undergoes the fragmentation process, and 2) to predict what will happen to the biota residing within the landscape as a result of these changes. The fundamental question addressed is: Can landscapes be fragmented in such a way that permits humans and biological diversity to coexist?
