EnglishPh.D.
Nineteenth-century Britain experienced a confluence of a rapidly urbanizing physical environment, radical changes in the hierarchical relationships in society as well as in the natural sciences, and a nostalgic fascination with antiquities, especially gothic architecture. The realist novels of this period reflect this tension between dramatic social restructuring and a conservative impulse to remember and maintain the world as it has been. This dissertation focuses on the word structure to unpack the implications of these opposing forces, both for our understanding of the social structures that novels reflect, and the narrative structures that novels create. To address these issues, I examine the architectural structures described in Victorian realist novels, drawing parallels with their social and narrative structures. In Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit (1855), George Eliot's Adam Bede (1859), and Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) and Jude the Obscure (1895), descriptions of houses and barns, churches and cathedrals, shops and factories, and courthouses and schools are thematically important because they draw our attention to the novels' interest in the social structures that underlie the fictional worlds they represent. Buildings provide spaces where members of a community may work towards a shared purpose; they also embody that community's common knowledge, values, and ideals. These novels take up the thematic concern with structure through their own formal narrative structuring work. Much like an architect builds a physical structure, novels build a narrative structure by carefully arranging patterns, sequences, proportions, and perspectives. An examination of a novel's description of a building reveals moments of self-reflexive consideration of the narratives it constructs. These are moments that interrogate the building materials of narrative and how their arrangement becomes meaningful, that consider what the narrative structure can accommodate and what it excludes, and that invite us to attend to the ways in which the act of structuring a narrative situates it in time, in relation to the past, present, and future. The choices an architect makes about ornaments and materials, the way a building integrates the surrounding environment, and the way its proportions compare to a human scale, all constitute a kind of language; moreover, the way people interact with, in, and around these built spaces suggests it is a dynamic and evolving language. Preeminent Victorian art and social critic John Ruskin's architectural treatise, The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849) serves as a master key to interpreting the Victorian understanding of architectural language in the novels under investigation. Because Ruskin's writings pervaded mid-century artistic discourse, and because he turned his critical gaze on such a wide range of the mid-nineteenth century's most important aesthetic, social, philosophical, and ethical concerns, his work provides an invaluable bridge between the physical, social, and narrative structures in these novels. Each of Ruskin's "lamps" represents a specific architectural principle; each chapter in this project pairs a novel with a lamp with thematic and formal resonance.

Full textAbstract:
L'ichtyofaune du lac Victoria est principalement composée d'espèces endémiques de téléostéens appartenant à la famille des cichlides. La diversité des formes, observée chez ces poissons, en fait un des exemples les plus remarquables de radiation adaptative chez les vertébrés. Néanmoins, en raison du jeune âge (25 000 ans) de cet essaim d'espèces, il est très difficile de séparer les espèces entre elles. En effet, la plasticité phénotypique de ces cichlides fait que les variations intra spécifiques peuvent être plus importantes que les variations interspécifiques. Dans le cadre d'un programme sur les cichlides pétricoles du Mwanza Gulf, en Tanzanie, nous avons étudié les structures des communautés de poissons des zones rocheuses selon différentes échelles spatiales afin d'apporter des éléments préliminaires à leur connaissance. Le présent travail se compose de deux parties. ? A l'échelle du Mwanza Gulf, nous avons étudié les variations de la richesse spécifique. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence un effet région. Les zones rocheuses se situant dans des régions du golfe ou elles sont nombreuses et peu distantes les unes des autres montrent une richesse spécifique plus élevée que celles situées dans une région ou leur densité est plus faible. Si les biais liés à l'échantillonnage ne nous ont pas permis de mettre en évidence les relations entre les variables géomorphologiques et anthropiques (pêche et introduction de la perche du Nil) et la richesse spécifique, nous avons étudié les relations entre les caractéristiques des individus pêches et le type de substrat rocheux. La répartition des individus selon le substrat est liée à la taille et à l'espèce. ? A l'échelle d'une station rocheuse, nous avons étudié les variations morphologiques d'une espèce, haplochromis nyererei Witte & Witte Maas, 1985. Les variables morphologiques ont été séparées en trois groupes: a) les distances entre deux points remarquables (morphométrie) pour caractériser la forme générale des poisson s ; b) la forme de la tête en utilisant l'analyse d'image vidéo ; c) les caractéristiques liées à l'alimentation (longueur intestinale, contenus stomacaux, longueur et largeur de la mâchoire inferieure). Des analyses multivariées ont été utilisées pour caractériser les variations morphologiques. Les poissons ont pu être séparés en quatre groupes plus ou moins distincts: (1) des males de grandes tailles avec une bosse frontale proéminente, un corps trapu et des structures anatomiques liées à une alimentation strictement insectivore ; (2) des mâles sans bosse frontale, plus ou moins trapus avec des structures anatomiques liées à un régime omnivore a tendance insectivore ; (3) des mâles et quelques femelles avec une légère bosse sur la tête, un corps allonge et des structures anatomiques liées à un régime alimentaire alguivore ; (4) des femelles et quelques petits males sans bosse sur la tête, un corps très allongé et un régime alimentaire omnivore a tendance herbivore. Pour expliquer en partie ces différences intra spécifiques, nous avons émis plusieurs hypothèses liées au comportement. La différence morphologique entre les individus peut être le résultat de la mise en place de la dominance et de territoires chez les males. D'autres caractères morphologiques et biologiques, comme le facteur de condition k et le nombre d'ocelles présents sur la nageoire anale qui peuvent être lies au succès reproducteur, ont confirmé les résultats obtenus précédemment. Suite à cette analyse, nous avons étudié la morphologie des ocelles afin d'apporter des éléments sur leur rôle possible dans les processus de reconnaissance entre individus. Nous avons ainsi pu montrer que les ocelles, par leur forme, pouvaient être reconnus par les femelles comme étant des œufs. S'il existe une grande variabilité dans la taille et la disposition de chaque ocelle sur la nageoire anale, on constate que la configuration générale des ocelles reste constante quelle que soit la taille de l'individu. Ce travail de thèse a donc permis de mettre en évidence la complexité de la structure des communautés des cichlides pétricoles du Mwanza Gulf. L'étude écomorphologique à l'échelle d'une population a démontré la plasticité écologique et phénotypique au sein d'une même espèce. Cette plasticité est probablement à la base de l'essaim d'espèces de cichlides observe dans le lac Victoria

Full textAbstract:
L'analyse des chevauchements à vergence opposée du secteur de la Sainte-Victoire (Provence) a permis de définir les modalités d'amortissement de systèmes chevauchants, principalement dans l'avant pays des chaînes de collision. Cette analyse s'est appuyée sur un grand nombre de données géologiques et géophysiques, et en particulier sur des données issues de profils sismiques réalisés pour cette étude. La construction de coupes géologiques équilibrées a permis d'intégrer au mieux l'ensemble des données de surface et de profondeur et de proposer un modèle géométrique et une cinématique cohérente. Le problème de la détermination des facteurs qui conditionnent l'apparition de l'une ou l'autre des vergences a ensuite été abordé par une approche mécanique (calcul de l'énergie minimale dissipée dans la déformation) et cinématique (comparaison avec des modèles analogiques). Les valeurs des paramètres mécaniques ont pu être calculées sur l'exemple d'inversion de vergence observée sur les coupes équilibrées. Il a été montré que dans le cas d'une série décollée sur un palier légèrement montant, un pro-chevauchement est plus économique, en terme d'énergie dépensée, qu'un rétro-chevauchement. Mais un basculement progressif vers l'arrière de l'ensemble socle/couverture qui affecte le pendage des rampes, conduit à faciliter le développement de rétro-chevauchement ; ce type de flexion progressive de l'avant-pays est classiquement observé dans les chaînes de collision. Ces rétro-chevauchements peuvent être aussi facilités par des gradients de vitesse de déplacement entre le bas et le haut de la série (rôle déterminant des conditions aux limites et de la cinématique des systèmes chevauchants .).

This study focuses on the Moore-Youse family in Muncie, Indiana, a medium size city in Delaware County, Indiana, as a microcosm of Victorian ideology and material culture using the methods of historical archaeology and social history. The following thesis examines material conditions among this middle-class, female-centered, lineal family during the Victorian period using gender theory. In this study, archaeological materials and historical documents are used to explore the priorities and choices that influenced Muncie's middle class in making material decisions during the Victorian period.The Victorian Period in America was marked by rapid social change, growing industrialization and the transformation of gender roles. These changes created an expanded middle-class in communities across America. For the middle class the home was a sanctuary and Victorian women were expected to devote themselves to the home and family. Thus began the "cult of domesticity". This thesis explores the influence of gender roles in 19th century Indiana.Department of Anthropology

Uca victoriana von Hagen, 1987 is a crab belonging to the family Ocypodidae typical from intertidal zones, characterized by a strong sexual dimorphism. This current study was elaborate in order to evaluate the information about biology of the population, more specifically about population structure, spatial distribution, and reproductive aspects of U. victoriana from mangrove of Itacuru?? / Coroa Grande located in Sepetiba Bay, RJ. Three transects were established with three areas on the right bank of the Draga river, and each area containing 10 m long and 2.25 m wide. Crabs were collected monthly during the period of November 2010 to October 2011. The animals were collected using a quadrat of 30 x 30 cm, performing three random replicates in each plot. In laboratory, the animals were separated by sex and it were taken biometric measurements such as carapace width, carapace length, abdomen width, height of the larger chelipod, length of the larger chelipod and length of the gonopod. Sediment samples were collected in three transects to determine the granulometric composition. It was collected a total of 529 individuals in the study period, of which 89 were males, 97 females non-ovigerous, 16 ovigerous females and 327 juveniles. In the population structure the frequency distribution of males and females was unimodal. The average size of the female LC was 5,64 ? 1,73 mm and 4,97 ? 1,53 mm for males. The analysis of size comparison between sexes showed that females are significantly larger (U = 23741.5, p <0.001) than males. The overall sex ratio of population was 1,94:1, predominantly males. In spatial distribution, there was a greater abundance of animals in the area 2, where the predominance of juveniles, ovigerous females and non-ovigerous females was not superior to other transects. The average size of the ovigerous females was 6.67 ? 0.60 mm, ranging from 5.38 to 7.70 mm. Mean fecundity was 424 ? 186 eggs, with a range from 211 to 886 eggs. The average size of the eggs was 0.292 ? 0.011 mm, with a width 0.27 to 0.30 mm. Recruitment occurred in April. The morphological maturity of females was estimated for the size 5.0 mm and 5.9 mm for males. It follows that the U. victoriana population from mangrove studied, showed to be stable, showing juveniles during all of the months. The distribution of U. victoriana was not influenced by temperature or granulometric, suggesting that other factors, for example, the abundance of trees or biologic factors could influence their distribution in the mangrove. The fecundity found in this population correlates with the females size, as occurs in most brachyuran. The reproductive period was seasonal, with higher frequency of ovigerous females in the months of September and October.
A esp?cie Uca victoriana von Hagen, 1987 ? um caranguejo pertencente ? fam?lia Ocypodidae, t?pico de zonas entremar?s, caracterizado por um forte dimorfismo sexual. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo obter informa??es sobre a biologia populacional, mais especificamente em rela??o ? estrutura populacional, distribui??o espacial e aspectos reprodutivos de U. victoriana do manguezal de Itacuru??/Coroa Grande localizado na Ba?a de Sepetiba, RJ. Foi estabelecido um transecto com tr?s ?reas na margem direita do rio da Draga, onde cada ?rea tinha 10 m de comprimento por 2,25 m de largura. Os caranguejos foram coletados mensalmente durante o per?odo de novembro de 2010 a outubro de 2011. Os animais foram coletados utilizando-se um quadrat de 30 x 30 cm, realizando-se tr?s r?plicas aleat?rias em cada parcela. No laborat?rio os animais foram separados por sexo e tomadas as medidas biom?tricas, como a largura da carapa?a, comprimento total, largura do abdome, comprimento do maior quel?podo, altura do maior quel?podo e comprimento do gonop?dio. Amostras do sedimento foram coletadas nas tr?s ?reas para determinar a composi??o granulom?trica. Foi coletado um total de 529 indiv?duos no per?odo de estudo, dos quais 89 eram machos, 97 f?meas n?o ov?geras, 16 f?meas ov?geras e 327 juvenis. Quanto ? estrutura populacional, a distribui??o de frequ?ncia em machos e f?meas foi unimodal. O tamanho m?dio da LC dos machos foi de 4,97 ? 1,53 mm e das f?meas de 5,64 ? 1,73 mm. A an?lise de compara??o do tamanho entre os sexos demonstrou que as f?meas s?o significativamente maiores (U= 23741,5; p< 0,001) em rela??o aos machos. A propor??o sexual da popula??o foi de 1,94:1 (M:F), com predomin?ncia de machos. Na distribui??o espacial, houve maior abund?ncia de animais na ?rea 2, onde a predomin?ncia de juvenis, f?meas ov?geras e f?meas n?o ov?geras foi superior em rela??o ?s outras ?reas. O tamanho m?dio das f?meas ov?geras foi de 6,67 ? 0,60 mm, variando de 5,38 a 7,70 mm. A fecundidade m?dia foi de 424 ? 186 ovos, com uma amplitude de 211 a 886 ovos. O tamanho m?dio dos ovos foi de 0,292 ? 0,011 mm, com uma amplitude de 0,27 a 0,30 mm. O pico de recrutamento ocorreu no m?s de abril. A maturidade morfol?gica das f?meas foi estimada para o tamanho de 5,0 mm e dos machos de 5,9 mm de LC. Conclui-se, que a popula??o de U. victoriana do manguezal estudado demonstrou ser est?vel, apresentando juvenis durante todos os meses. A distribui??o de U. victoriana n?o foi influenciada pela temperatura e granulometria, sugerindo que outros fatores como a abund?ncia de ?rvores ou fatores bi?ticos podem estar influenciando sua distribui??o neste manguezal. A fecundidade encontrada nesta popula??o se correlaciona com o tamanho das f?meas, como ocorre na maioria dos braqui?ros. O per?odo reprodutivo foi sazonal, com maior frequ?ncia de f?meas ov?geras nos meses de setembro e outubro.

Full textAbstract:
Double-stranded RNA fungal virus Helminthosporium victoriae virus 190S (genus Victorivirus, family Totiviridae) contains two large open reading frames (ORFs) that overlap in the tetranucleotide AUGA. Translation of the downstream ORF, which encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), was previously proposed to depend on ribosomal reinitiation following termination of the upstream ORF, which encodes the capsid protein. In this study, I provided evidence to confirm that coupled termination-reinitiation (stop-restart) is indeed used. A dual-fluorescence method was established to define the RNA sequence determinants for RdRp translation. Stop-restart depends on a 32-nt stretch of RNA sequence immediately upstream of the AUGA motif, including a predicted pseudoknot structure. The presence of similar sequence motifs and predicted RNA structures in other victoriviruses suggest that they all share a related stop–restart strategy for RdRp translation. The close proximity of the secondary structure to the AUGA motif appears to be especially important for promoting translation of the downstream ORF. Normal strong preferences for AUG start codons and canonical sequence context for translation initiation of the downstream ORF appear somewhat relaxed. With dual-fluorescence system, reinitiation efficiency of the downstream ORF was determined to be ~3.9%. Pseudoknot swapping between the one in HvV190S and those predicted from other victoriviruses showed that reinitiation from the downstream ORF of HvV190S is quite tolerant to varying primary sequences of the various pseudoknots. Mutational analysis by introducing different combinations of nucleotide mutations into pseudoknot stems reproducibly confirmed the determinant role of pseudoknot on reinitiation using two different experimental systems. Together, these results provide the first example of coupled termination-reinitiation regulated by a simple pseudoknot stucture. These data expanded the understanding of coupled termination-reinitiation mechanism employed by RNA viruses and refined a new model for genus victorivirus, the largest genus in the family Totiviridae. The dual fluorescence system used in this study represented the first application of an efficient in vivo assay for recording low-frequency events in filamentous fungi.

Full textAbstract:
Le personnage du forçat est omniprésent dans la littérature française du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle. La représentation du monde des travaux forcés dans les bagnes portuaires et plus tard extra-métropolitains est à la croisée de la représentation plus large de la criminalité au XIXe siècle, selon un développement historique concomitant avec l’expansion coloniale. Les faits divers, ces petits bulletins d’alerte lancés comme une basse continue sur la cité, changent la manière de percevoir la criminalité. Obéissant à une structure particulière, le fait divers va remodeler la représentation littéraire de la criminalité. C’est ici qu’intervient le personnage du forçat. En effet, jouissant d’un statut particulier (mort/vivant/revenant), il offre aux romanciers des « conditions de possibilité » inédites jusque-là dans le monde des lettres. Jean Valjean, Monte-Cristo et Chéri-Bibi, pour ne citer que les plus connus, sont devenus des modèles dans ce qu’on peut appeler le « roman de la chiourme », (sous)-genre qui se développe en France à partir de 1830. Ainsi, Valjean donnera l’archétype du « forçat innocent », le converti miraculé et la réincarnation de Jésus-Christ. Monte-Cristo sera le Vengeur par excellence, dont le parcours donnera le modèle du genre – la vengeance étant un topos inévitable de la littérature populaire du XIXe siècle et jusqu’à nos jours. Chéri-Bibi quant à lui, au début du XXe siècle, incarne un tournant dans l’histoire du genre ; il serait au roman de la chiourme ce que Don Quichotte fut pour le roman de chevalerie : une somme et un dépassement. L’étude que nous proposons, centrée sur la « genèse et la structure » du roman du bagne, est un voyage à rebours dans l’histoire de ce genre qui ne dit pas son nomThe character of convict is omnipresent in French literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The representation of the world of hard labor in metropolitan and colonial prisons is at the crossroads of the broader representation of crime in the nineteenth century, according to a concomitant historical development with colonial expansion. The miscellaneous news, these little newsletters launched continually on the city, change the way of perceiving crime. Obeying a specific structure, this type of news will reshape the literary representation of crime. This is where the character of the convict comes in. Indeed, enjoying a special status (dead/alive/revenant), it offers novelists "conditions of possibility" unseen until then in the world of letters. Jean Valjean, Monte-Cristo and Chéri-Bibi, to name only the well known, have become models in what we can call the "novel of the convicts", literary (sub)-genre which develops in France from 1830 onwards. Thus, Valjean will give the archetype of the "innocent convict", the miraculous convert and the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Monte-Cristo will be the Avenger par excellence, whose course will be the model of the genre - revenge being an inevitable topos of popular literature of the nineteenth century and until today. As for Chéri-Bibi, at the beginning of the twentieth century, embodies a turning point in the history of gender; it would be to the novel of the convict what Don Quixote was for the chivalric romance: a sum and a surpassing. The study we propose, oriented on the "genesis and structure" of the prison novel, is a reverse journey in history of this literary genre that does not say its name

Full textAbstract:
Le projet consacré à la statique graphique étudie un aspect jusqu'ici peu exploré de l'histoire technique tchèque de la seconde moitié du XIXème au début du XXe siècle, lorsque les pays tchèques ont joué un rôle de premier plan en matière de technologie dans l'ancienne monarchie autrichienne. Une part du projet a permis de révéler le transfert de cette méthode de calcul en pratique d'ingénierie depuis son lieu d'origine, France et Suisse, vers les pays tchèques, et la contribution originale du milieu tchèque dans ce domaine. Le transfert de la statique graphique vers les pays tchèques fut effectué après sa formation dans la seconde moitié des années 1860. Le transfert culturel a prospéré grâce à la diffusion de la presse et des livres publiés principalement en allemand et, bien sûr, grâce aux contacts personnels étroits entre les conférenciers des écoles polytechniques européennes, en particulier des langues allemandes. La thèse contient également des exemples d'importants bâtiments historiques tchèques, pour lesquels la statique graphique a été utilisée pour calculer la structure. Ces calculs sont illustrés par la documentation archivistique, qui n'a pas encore été publiée. Une part de la thèse est également consacrée à la comparaison de deux méthodes de calcul de déformation des treillis (système triangulés). La première est la méthode du français V.-J. Williot, qui a été publiée en août 1878. La seconde est la méthode du professeur tchèque V. Bukovsky de janvier 1879. Comme il n'existe à l'heure actuelle aucune étude détaillée portant sur Victor-Joseph Williott ( 1843-1907), certains documents d'archives jamais publiés ont été recherchés pour illustrer sa vieThe project of graphic statics is studying a heretofore little explored part of the Czech technical history of the second half of the 19th, and beginning of the 20th centuries, when the Czech lands held a leading role in technology in the former Austrian Monarchy. A part of the project is to reveal the transfer of this computational method in engineering practice from the place of its origin, France and Switzerland, to the Czech lands, as well as original contribution of the Czech millieu to this field. The transfer of graphic statics to the Czech lands came very soon after its formation in the second half of the 1860' s. Cultural transfer prospered thanks to the distribution of press and books published mainly in German, and, of course, thanks to the close persona) contacts among lecturers at European, especially German-speaking, polytechnic high school! The thesis also contains examples of significant Czech historical buildings, for which graphic statics was used to calculate the structure. These calculations are illustrated by archival documentation, which has not yet been published. A special part of the thesis is a comparison of two calculation methods of deformation of trusses. The first one is the method of French V.-J. Williot, which was published in August 1878. The second one is the Czech professor V. Bukovsky's method of January 1879. As no more detailed information was known about Victor-Joseph Williott ( 1843- 1907), some never published archival documents were searched to illustrate his life

Full textAbstract:
The Huizachal-Peregrina Anticlinorium is a large NNW-trending structure in the front ranges of the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico (23° 45ʹ N; 99° 10ʹ W). The breached core of the anticlinorium exposes three major geologic terranes: (1) . A late Precambrian granulite terrane (Novillo Gneiss) remarkably similar in composition, appearance, grade and age of metamorphism to rocks of the Grenville Province, especially the Adirondacks; (2). A mid-Paleozoic low-grade metamorphic complex (Granjeno Schist) of volcano-sedimentary origin with ophiolite rock assemblages, that resemble rocks of the Ouachita-Appalachian inner zones; and (3). A strongly folded and faulted section of Paleozoic fossilifireous sedimentary strata, more than 1500 m thick, similar to the rocks of the Ouachita frontal zone exposed in the Marathon region of Texas. Except for an extensive subcrop terrain of Permo-Triassic granitic intrusives, the terranes in the area studied represent "unique samples" of the Pre-Mesozoic basement framework of eastern Mexico. These terranes belong to two ancient superposed orogenic systems: the Late Precambrian Oaxacan (Grenville) and the Paleozoic Huastecan (Ouachita-Appalachian) structural belts. Based on the geologic study of these pre-Mesozoic terranes at Huizachal-Peregrina, and compared with the widely spaced and limited outcrops (and sub-crops) of equivalent rock units of eastern Mexico, a tectonic model is proposed which interprets the granulite terrane as representative of continental crust, and the low-grade metamorphic terrane as rocks that accumulated on top of the ocean crust of a marginal basin. This latter sequence experienced a complex history of deformation and metamorphism as it was subducted towards the east, culminating 330 m.y. ago. The onset of Carboniferous-Permian orogenic flysch sedimentation is interpreted to have occurred when the marginal basin became closed by an arc-continent collision. The Permo-Triassic granitic rock terrane of the subsurface of the Gulf Coastal Plain represents the magmatic roots of that volcanic arc. The pervasive NW to NNW-trending structural grain, of the Oaxacan and Huastecan structural belts south of Huizachal-Peregrina through Oaxaca, when compared to the NE-trending distribution of Precambrian and Paleozoic terranes in the United States are compatible with the existence of a proposed zone of large left-lateral displacement across northern Mexico.text

Full textAbstract:
The Bendigo Goldfield is historically the largest producing goldfield within the Lachlan Fold Belt of
southeastern Australia, and is a classic example of a structurally controlled turbidite-hosted gold deposit.
Since 1993, Bendigo Mining Ltd. has been re-evaluating part of the goldfield and is in the process of
developing an underground mine. The current development, which accesses eight auriferous reefs to a
depth of ~800 m, presents a unique opportunity to re-examine the structurally controlled reefs, which
characterise the central Victorian goldfields. The identification of multiple foliations, both proximal and
distal to the mineralisation, prompted a reinvestigation of the deformation chronology, which revealed
that the structural evolution of the goldfield was more complex than previously thought. A five-stage
deformation chronology (D1-D5) based primarily on the recognition of overprinting tectonic foliations
(S1-S5) is proposed. D1 to D3 represent distinct, yet progressive phases of ENE-WSW shortening possibly
during the Benambran Orogeny (ca. 439-435 Ma), with D2 corresponding to the peak of deformation and
metamorphism. N-S directed shortening during D4 indicates that a change in the principal shortening axis
has occurred and as such, D4 could represent the later stages of the Tabberabberan Orogeny (ca. 381-377
Ma). Deformation associated with D5 suggests a period of NNW-SSE directed shortening, which may
correspond to the younger Kanimblan Orogeny (ca. 360-340 Ma). A period of deformation and fault
reactivation that post-dates both D5 and Jurassic dykes has been recognised within the goldfield.
However, the extent of this deformation remains unclear and no associated tectonic foliation has been
observed.
At Bendigo, economic occurrences of gold are intimately related to the structural evolution of the
goldfield and are associated with late-stage mineral phases, which post-date the syn-D2 quartz veins such
as the classic saddle reefs. On the basis of structural, microstructural and paragenetic observations it is
proposed that the deposition of gold occurred during D3, and more specifically, in association with the
development of D3 kink bands. The D3 kinks vary in size from small-scale kink bands (S3) on a
millimetre-scale, through to large-scale kinks (F3) at a kilometre-scale. The small-scale D3 kink bands
consist of four sets of conjugate extensional kinks, which exhibit an approximately orthorhombic
symmetry about a sub-vertical axis, suggesting deformation in response to triaxial strain. Spatial analysis
of historical production data has revealed a number of previously unrecognised high-grade trends. These
trends coincide with the intersection axis between a kink band axial plane and bedding. It is proposed that
these intersections control ore shoot geometry and location, because they also correspond to the
orientation of historically worked ore shoots and those encountered more recently by Bendigo Mining
Ltd. A new understanding of the controls on ore shoots has considerable implications for future
exploration within the goldfield, and elsewhere in central Victoria.

This qualitative study investigates the evolving role of Divisions of General Practice (Divisions) in linking general practitioners (GPs) and general practice with the wider health sector in Australia. The work draws on boundary role theory within organisations, integration theories, empirical research on service integration involving general practice, and structural interests theory to develop the conceptual framework on which the research was based. The data for the research came from both documentary and interview sources that gave voice to Divisions in the state of Victoria, Australia. The documents used represented the core working documents of Divisions, and the semi-structured interviews involved 30 key informants, these being leaders in all Victorian Divisions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of six published papers. The present-day stress tensor has been determined using petroleum well data in the Gippsland and Otway Basins in Southeast Australia (Papers 1 and 4) and the Cooper Basin in Central Australia (Paper 5). In the Gippsland Basin, the present-day stress regime is transitional between one of reverse and strike-slip faulting and the maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) is oriented ~139°N. The present-day stress regime in the Victorian sector of the Otway Basin is also transitional between one of reverse and strike-slip faulting and SHmax is oriented ~135°N. Horizontal stresses are lower in the South Australian sector of the Otway Basin where the stress regime is one of strike-slip faulting and SHmax is oriented ~124°N. The orientations of SHmax in Southeast Australia are consistent with focal mechanism solutions, neotectonic structures and modelling of plate-boundary forces (Paper 4). Closure pressures from mini-frac injection tests are commonly used to determine the minimum horizontal stress (Shmin) magnitude. However, in high stress basins such as the Cooper and Gippsland Basins, these pressures may not reliably yield Shmin (Papers 2 and 5). In the Cooper Basin, high closure pressures (>18 MPa/km) were observed in tests where pressure-declines indicated complex hydraulic fracture growth. Closure pressures in these injections are unlikely to be representative of Shmin. They are believed to reflect the normal stress incident on pre-existing planes of weakness that are exploited by hydraulic fluid during the mini-frac injection (Paper 5). Sub-horizontal fabrics that are open at the wellbore wall were observed on image logs in the Cooper and Gippsland Basins (Papers 2 and 5). This fabric is believed to be at least partially responsible for the complex growth of hydraulic fractures observed in the Cooper Basin. The occurrence of these sub-horizontal fabrics and knowledge of rock strength have been used to constrain the magnitudes of SHmax and Shmin independently of mini-frac injections in the Cooper and Gippsland Basins (Papers 2 and 5). The present-day stress tensor is often quoted as a single gradient at a sedimentary basinor petroleum field-scale. Image logs and mini-frac data from Central and Southeast Australia indicate significant stress differences between stratigraphic units (Papers 3 and 5). Finite element modelling of the stress distribution between interbedded sands and shales in the Gippsland Basin indicates that stress is ‘partitioned’ to ‘hard’ lithological units in high stress areas. This accounts for the observation that borehole breakout only occurs in hard, cemented sandstones in the Gippsland Basin (Paper 3). A generic ‘mechanical stratigraphy’ derived from knowledge of wellbore failure (from image logs), rock strength and rock properties in individual rock units in the Cooper Basin allows an approximation of the present-day stress-state to be made directly from image-logs for individual rock units prior to mini-frac injection (Paper 6). This is important for predicting and understanding hydraulic fracture growth and containment. When considered together, the papers comprising this thesis provide significant new data on the orientation and magnitude of present-day stresses in Central and Southeast Australia. They also provide insight into the tectonic origin of those stresses and their distribution within sedimentary basins. In particular the papers develop and use new methods for constraining the present-day stress in regions of high tectonic stress. They also discuss implications for problems in petroleum development including wellbore stability and hydraulic fracturing.http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1283781

This thesis explores the dynamics of social change through an examination of the making and remaking of Victoria's Residential Tenancies Act. The conditions leading up to the creation of the Tenancies Act are examined, as are the changes which the Act has produced. The findings of this thesis suggest that, despite the hopes of social reformers, the Tenancies Act has not produced a redistribution of power between landlords and tenants. It is argues, however, that this is not the fault of the Act itself, nor of its administrators, but rather of wider structural changes in the housing market which have served to negate many of the gains made by the Tenancies Act. Indeed, it is argued that, despite appearances, the Act has produced a number of important changes to the structure of, and agents participating in the rental housing market. As a result, Victoria's rental market is now quite different compared to how it was prior to the Act's introduction.

Burland, Daniel Alton. "The persistence of military honor in a culture without victory." 2011. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI3482590.
Full textAbstract:
The military has a long tradition of distributing honors to its soldiers in a calculated and uneven way, all to reinforce internal hierarchies it finds necessary. For example, officers have nicer uniforms, are shown more respect, and are awarded medals at a higher rate than the soldiers they command. “Normal” soldiers used to be similarly privileged over their auxiliary “colored” counterparts. In the 20th Century a new line of demarcation was created between front-line combatants (infantrymen, artillerymen, and so on) on the one hand, and rear-echelon support soldiers (supply clerks, cooks, and so on), on the other. This new line of demarcation creates a two-tier system of honor, with support soldiers debased in social standing to show greater honor to their combatant brethren. Before the 20th Century, there were hardly any support soldiers to demean, as the logistical needs of the U.S. military were provided for by civilian camp followers. Now uniformed support soldiers constitute roughly seventy percent of the military. The front-line combatant soldier, once the typical soldier, has become a minority within the military, but a prestigious minority. The two-tier system of honor that privileges combatant soldiers over their support counterparts finds enthusiastic support among combatant soldiers, support soldiers, and in the civilian world. It is reasonable to show the most respect to soldiers who have suffered the most, and undeniably combatant soldiers are killed and wounded at the highest rate. Yet the nature of the two-tier system of honor has qualities that suggest that it is based on more than simply logical and just deference. First, support soldiers (the majority of the military) are not so much shamed as invisible: the fact that the new “median” soldier is today not an infantryman, but a cook, clerk, or water purification specialist rarely enters into public discourse. Secondly, while some uniformed service members are denied military honor, certain civilians have begun making unprecedented claims to military honor. By analyzing recent commemorative art about war, including the Washington D.C. memorials, the Quartermaster Museum at Fort Lee, VA (a museum founded to honor support soldiers), and local commemorative projects that aspire to national recognition, I will show that the social narrative of combat, long the dominant storyline of the military, has been fused with the related personal (and more inclusive) narrative of trauma. This new storyline of trauma-combat has discredited competing storylines. Technical competence, contribution to victory, and belief in the system one defends have become irrelevant, and these were the pathways to military honor open to support soldiers as such. The new narrative of trauma-combat also makes it possible for a war widow or a disabled contractor to claim the honor formerly reserved for soldiers. Loss related to war is the ultimate and only sign of a soldier, and who best embodies this loss than a war widow or a civilian contractor paralyzed by war wounds? At the beginning of the 20th Century, military authority asserted direct control over its camp-followers by placing them in uniform, thus creating a body of support soldiers that would eventually outsize the combat component it was designed to support. At the beginning of the 21st century, the periphery of the military continues to be militarized, while within the military itself, the typical soldier ceases in many ways to be a soldier at all.

Horiguchi, Hikaru. "Networks for local governance: A case study of the Kindergarten Cluster Management framework in Victoria." Thesis, 2017. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/36841/.
Full textAbstract:
Because of the serious financial plight of local governments (Dollery et. al, 2012) and in response to
the emergence of a neo-liberal regime (Geddes, 2005), the Victorian State Government has sought
strategies for improving both economic efficiency and participatory democratic governance.
Establishing a network form of local governance was one of the strategies, with various actors from
non-government sectors joining in the public policy process (Considine and Lewis, 2003). Previous
studies did not clearly address the following issues: why the Victorian Local Governments introduced
a network structure for their governance, how the involved organizations were coordinated, what
affected their collaborative relationships, and the impacts of networking. The purpose of this study
was to answer those questions.
The Kindergarten Cluster Management policy framework is an example of a local government’s
network governance. A multiple-case study was conducted with twelve interviewees who were
primary stakeholders of kindergarten service provision in four different local councils. The data
collected from the interviews were analyzed by pattern matching following Yin’s (2004) guidelines.
This study found that local governments sought to improve economic their efficiency by networking,
and that the national and Victorian Governments’ social policies and regulations significantly affected
the operations of local governments and community organizations. This research found that three
modes of governance - hierarchy, market and network - were utilised as coordinating mechanisms by
the collaborating organizations. In contrast to the previous literature, this study found that a hierarchy
mode of governance maintained stable and reliable working relationships. The relationships formed
through contracts were fragile, which was characteristic of the market mode of governance. The
network mode of governance existed in all collaborative relationships, and facilitated the smooth
communication among network participants.
‘The Rhodes model’ of policy network (Rhodes 1992, p.13-14), identified in previous research, was
not utilizable, but the concept of industrial networks (Johanson and Mattsson, 1991) can also be
applied to the connection of organizations involved in the provision of kindergarten services. That
said, the different positions held by stakeholders provided different perspectives, particularly in the
assessment of networking outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This research study focused on measuring the impact of structures that support community-university research partnerships. The broad research question asked: How can we determine the impact of community-university research partnership support structures such as the Office of Community Based Research at the University of Victoria, within the university and within local, regional, national and international communities? Methods of inquiry included: participatory research, institutional ethnography and case study. These are among an increasing number of research approaches consistent with what is called engaged scholarship. Congruent with the methods of inquiry, methods of investigation included: in-context immersion, participant-observer-listener, use of available documents and information, use of an impact assessment framework prototype designed pre-data collection, key informant interviews, field notes, research journaling and the writing process. Data contributing to this study were drawn from key informant interviews. Interview participants were situated within local, regional, national and international communities. Methods of analysis included: a two-pronged approach to organising data, deductive and inductive approaches, the lens of praxis, and the prototype as an analytical framework. Assessment as praxis is proposed as broad analytic framework. Theory was constructed through data analysis. This study’s data and analysis point to impact assessment as a cycle of inquiry and eight elements that inform impact on and through community life and impact on and through the university. The proposed Impact Assessment and Measurement Framework (IAMF) includes eight elements: coupling intention with impact, spheres of impact, categories of impact, conditions of impact, points of impact, impact-focused documentation, multiple perspectives of impact, and impact assessment and measurement statements. Contributions of this study include: recognition of staff who support community-university research partnerships through their varied work spaces, research councils as a type of support structure, impact assessment as a cycle of inquiry, explicating impact through elements of impact assessment, and a literature consolidation of impact assessment in the context of support structures. Future research may include revision and refinement of the IAMF across different types of community-university research partnership support structures.Graduate

Research Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics, School of Economic & Business Sciences Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, SAThe world is facing a sustainability crisis due to depletion and degradation of environmental and natural resources faster than they can be generated. Many of these resources are not partitioned by private property rights, and are held as state property, common property, or as open-access. Common Property Resources (CPRs) have two distinct attributes: (1) limited or nontrivial exclusion (it is difficult to exclude multiple individuals or users from appropriating from the resource) and (2) substractability (the resource features rivalry in consumption), meaning that appropriation by one reduces the overall resource availability and thus, subtracts from what can be appropriated by others. Examples include fisheries, grazing lands, irrigation systems, and ground water basins. Because no one has property rights or control over such resources, users of CPRs are frequently assumed to be caught in an inescapable dilemma - overexploitation of the resource. Thus, unlike the ‘invisible hand’ of Adam Smith in competitive markets, in the case of CPRs the self-interested behavior does not yield economic efficiency or optimal outcome or Pareto optimality. This study sought to understand the evolution of management dynamics and operation of governance structures developed by resource users and other stakeholders in three large scale CPRs in Kenya. The objectives are to (1) examine the evolution of management dynamics. (2) Examine the management model applied and its functioning. (3) Explore the governance structures and challenges of implementing them. (4) Explore critical variables related to user groups, institutional arrangements and external environment in the resource system. (5) Suggest measures to improve on the management and governance of the resource system. In addition, the study gives a comparative analysis of the management models applied in the three CPR systems. The general theoretical literature on CPRs has focused mainly on two basic but important conditions or categories. First, small scale communally owned and governed resources, in ii terms of the physical or geographical size of the resource system with well-defined boundaries. Secondly, group or users size, characterized by small numbers with similar identities and interests. This study therefore, contributes to literature by using large scale CPR case studies in terms of physical size of resource system and number of users and examining the evolution and dynamics in the management model and governance structures. A Qualitative Research (QR) methodology is adopted and analytical tools of institutional analysis and an empirical foundation based on field data applied. A survey research design is used. Both primary and secondary data was sourced and a pilot study was conducted to test reliability of research instruments. Data is documented, compiled and presented in form of tables, figures and general descriptions. Data analysis and synthesising is done by working through the data to arrive at a conclusion to answer the research questions and achieve the purpose of the study. The study findings show that management and governance issues in the three CPRs have evolved over time both in terms of the scale and involvement of other stakeholders in decision making process in the resource system. Specifically, the collaborations among state agencies, other stakeholders and resource users through their associations has enabled monitoring and enforcement not only be effective but also legitimate and consequently, lead to sustainable resource use. The management models used in the three CPR case studies are identified as the Partnership Fisheries Management (PFM) in Lake Victoria fishery, Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) in Mwea Rice Irrigation Scheme and Holistic Management Framework (HMF) in Laikipia group grazing lands. The governance structures applied in the three CPRs are generally position, boundary, choice or authority, aggregation, information, payoff and scope rules. The degree of application of each set of rules however, depends on the nature of the resource system. They are designed, developed, implemented, monitored, enforced, sanctioned and arbitrated by the resource users, state lead agencies, departments and ministries iii and other stakeholders or actors. Each of these actors are involved in varying degrees in the various phases depending on their role and interest in the resource system. The management and governance structures can be strengthened and improved by enhancing certain administrative, health, safety, environmental issues and increased state support and involvement in the resource system. The co-management model design which is applied in the three CPRs yield various benefits to the resource-dependent community, public, state and resource system because it incorporates state and local (resource users) managers in decision making. However, the degree of participation of other stakeholders, challenges faced and other internal and external factors, depend on the nature of CPR, ownership and control of the CPR by resource users and the technical infrastructural investments required for the operation of the system. These results add to existing knowledge on Sustainable Development (SD) environment nexus by providing facts to multidisciplinary environmental and natural resources scholars regarding the dynamics of large scale CPR systems. Provide an in depth understanding of CPR management issues for the formulation of national strategies for SD, fisheries, Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), and irrigation farming. Lastly, they provide ways of responding to increasing challenges of shared water resources (Lake Victoria) in addition to strengthening of relations within the East African Community (EAC).

This study contributes to the understanding of the pedagogical choice of secondary
school middle years teachers. The findings support the past research which has reported
adolescents having specific pedagogical needs and the difficulty schools have in
changing established teaching and learning practices to meet those needs. Exploration
of social processes and structural influences from this study reveal previously
unacknowledged elements. These elements illuminate the enabling and inhibiting
factors of pedagogical change and point to the school structures which can be developed
to support successful change processes.
