Grindlay, E. J. "'Some out of vanity will call Her the Queene of Heaven' : iconography of the assumption and coronation of the Virgin in post-Reformation England, 1580-1616". Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2013. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1414311/.

This thesis aims to conceptualise the Virgin through a focus on post-Reformation representations of her bodily assumption and coronation as Queen of Heaven. The Reformation’s emphasis on the Word was a driving force behind a diminishing of significance of the Virgin, underpinning a shift in perception of her image from Heaven’s Queen to humble handmaid. This thesis will show how in spite of its eradication from state-approved liturgy, iconography of the assumption and coronation of the Virgin continued to be of cultural significance. Through historicised close reading of works by writers from a range of confessional standpoints, it will show how these contentious aspects of Mariology aroused powerful and complex responses in post-Reformation England. The timescale of the thesis commences midway through the reign of Elizabeth I, in the year that marked the start of the Jesuit mission, and finishes midway through the reign of James I, in a year which saw the investiture of Charles as Prince of Wales. Thematically rather than chronologically structured, the thesis itself journeys on a spectrum of faith, encompassing views that range from Protestant polemicist to Jesuit Catholic. It will show how iconography of the assumption and coronation was symptomatic of the continued confessional complexity of post-Reformation England. The thesis commences with two chapters exploring oppositional representations of the Virgin as Queen of Heaven in Protestant writing. Chapters focusing on individual voices follow: Elizabeth Cary, the writers of recusant rosary books, Sir John Harington, Henry Constable and Robert Southwell. In a variety of ways, both oblique and direct, these writers engaged with images of the Virgin’s assumption and coronation, and their representation of the Virgin’s image reflects cultural and political as well as religious concerns.

En América Latina el proceso de romanización, durante los pontificados de Pio IX y de León XIII, tuvo como fin el realizar un reacomodo de sus propias estructuras, ponderando la autoridad de la jerarquía romana y del papado frente al poder que ejercía el clero nacional. En el caso de México, este proceso dio como resultado una fuerte división interna de la jerarquía eclesiástica local, aglutinándose en dos bandos: romanos vs locales. Esto provocó graves polarizaciones entre los grupos, problemática que se extrapoló a las devociones marianas más representativas de cada facción, siendo su culto y, sobre todo, su coronación pontificia el escenario perfecto para demostrar su poder político, económico y de convencimiento de las masas. Así, las tres primeras coronaciones pontificias llevadas a cabo en México a finales del siglo XIX fueron una muestra fiel de cómo la imagen de la Virgen María era convenientemente utilizada como arma política.The process of Romanization in Latin America during the pontificates of Pius IX and Leo XIII had the purpose of realizing a rearrangement of its own structures, weighing the authority of the Roman hierarchy and the papacy against the power exercised by the national clergy. In the case of Mexico, this process resulted in a strong internal division of the local ecclesiastical hierarchy, coalescing into two camps: Roman vs. local. This caused serious polarizations between the groups, a problem that was extrapolated to the most representative Marian devotions of each faction, being their cult and, above all, their pontifical coronation, the perfect setting to demonstrate their political, economic, and convincing power of the masses. Thus, the first three pontifical coronations carried out in Mexico at the end of the 19th century were a faithful example of how the image of the Virgin Mary was conveniently used as a political weapon.

This thesis provides a detailed interpretation of three key texts described in Egyptological research as "coronation inscriptions:" the Historical Inscription of Hatshepsut, Thutmose III's Texte de la jeunesse, and Horemheb's Turin inscription. Similarities and differences between these texts, as well as other sources, both textual and pictorial, are discussed. A clear terminology is laid out, distinguishing between accession (the royal heir becoming king at the death of their predecessor), crowning (the action of placing the crowns on the new king's head), and coronation ceremony (following the accession by some time on which occasion the new ruler would have been bestowed with the crowns and regalia of his office, perhaps for the first time). The main aim of this thesis is to determine whether it would be accurate to label the discussed texts as coronation inscriptions and, if not, how they can best be described. It is determined that the evidence supports the earlier conclusion reached by Redford, that it would be incorrect to speak of a âcoronation ceremonyâ in the dynastic period, for new kings would have been crowned at their accessions in a palace setting, soon after the death of their predecessors, this followed some time later by a public âappearance ceremonyâ in a temple festival setting. While it is determined that Thutmose III's inscription describes the time when kingship was predicted to him, it is concluded that the Hatshepsut and Horemheb texts narrate exceptional events on which occasion their accessions in a palace and public "appearance ceremonies" intersected.

Pollack, Alexander Gregory. "Half-virgin". Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2011. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/5010.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Half-Virgin is a cross-genre collection of essays, short stories, and poems about the humor, pain, and occasional glory of journeying into adulthood but not quite getting there. The works in this collection seek to create a definition of a term, "half-virgin," that I coined in the process of writing this thesis. Among the possibilities explored are: an individual who embarks upon sexual activity for the first time and does not achieve orgasm; an individual who has reached orgasm through consensual sexual activity, but has remained uncertain about what he or she is doing; and the curious sensation of being half-child, half-adult. Ultimately, I believe, a "half-virgin" possesses all of these traits. One of the goals of the collection is to scramble the prototypical coming-of-age story into bits and parts and halves. Among the approaches included are earnest memoir (the real and metaphorical costumes a young couple wears on Halloween), character-driven fiction (the life story of Marlow, a college track star who ends up the unwitting inspiration for Super Mario Brothers), and narrative experiments (a tongue-in-cheek creative writing syllabus and a bullet pointed resume of sexual conquests). By exploring the untidy fragments in love, lust, and human connection in these works, Half-Virgin aspires to find wholeness through the jagged adventures of growing up.ID: 029809539; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Includes reading list (p. 156-159).; Thesis (M.F.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.

In 2008, Canadian artists Nicholas and Sheila Pye travelled from Toronto, Ontario to Graz, Austria for a six-month artist residency. Working within the Austrian landscape and drawing from an influence of Northern European Medieval and Renaissance art the Pyes produced The Coronation, a twelve-minute, three-channel video installation enmeshed with art historical references. Their deliberate appropriation of the triptych format and the Adam and Eve imagery of the fifteenth-century Ghent Altarpiece by Jan van Eyck place the Edenic narrative of the side panels in The Coronation in conversation with the shifting seasons and ecological processes in the centre panel, providing numerous entry points for contemplation. While this video installation suggests an exploration of the iconographic body, it is also indicative of the Pyes’ complication of the notion of the autonomous human body, its engagement with the environment and, furthermore, an emphasis on the instability of identity.
Previous writing on the collaborative practice of the Pyes has taken the form of exhibition reviews and curatorial essays, concentrating on a sustained narrative that prioritizes the Pyes’ relationship. Shifting away from the specificities of a biographical framework, my research focuses on The Coronation’s attention to the interrelationality of life. Furthermore, the Pyes push their artistic practice beyond one that assumes the specificity and autonomy of an individual human body, reconstituted in the intersecting body and earth. This informs our understanding of corporeal signification as comprised of embodied social and ideological performativity. Framed by a broad ecological lens and with Judith Butler’s notion of performativity in mind, I demonstrate the capacity of the Pyes’ work to problematize the stability of physical and enunciated boundaries that demarcate the human body.

The rise of environmental issues has presented a challenge to decision-making in the area of natural resources policy. This challenge has met with diverse responses, ranging from neo-liberal attempts to incorporate environmental values into economic calculus, through 'ecological rationalist' arguments for the special nature of environmental issues, to radical theories of the state's role in controlling the impact of environmental concerns on capitalist profitability. From this plethora of ideas about how to address environmental concern should emerge some directions that are more promising than others. But which?
The Coronation Hill mine case, presented in this thesis, exemplified the complexities of natural resources decision-making in an environmental era. By analysis of the Resource Assessment Commission's Inquiry into the Coronation Hill proposal, this thesis examines the strengths and weaknesses of the claims of different theoretical approaches. Such use of the single case to explore theory is exemplified by Allison's work Essence of Decision.
The RAC, as a neo-liberal institution, attempted to utilise both Pigouvian and Coasian strategies to address environmental issues. Both types of strategy emerge in the application of contingent valuation to preservation values. Private property rights allocation strategies, derived by public choice theorists from Coase's work, are also in evidence in debate about Aboriginal rights in the Kakadu Conservation Zone (site of the proposed mine). The problems that beset the RAC both in its use of contingent valuation and its attempts to resolve Aboriginal issues exemplify why neo-liberal approaches are of limited use for dealing with the class of policy problem that Coronation Hill represented.
Dryzek, Walker and others argue that ecological problems have a distinctive nature, which necessitates a distinctive policy response. However the evidence from the Coronation Hill case demonstrates the falsity of this premise. Ecological problems are in general similar to other policy problems.
Radical analysis of environmental issues has treated them as potential sources of disruption to capital accumulation. According to the structural dependence thesis as formulated by Block and Przeworski and Wallerstein, the role of the state is to prevent damage to investor confidence. Data from the Coronation Hill case, however, suggests that the 'anti-capital' recommendations of the RAC adopted by the government had none of the detrimental effects predicted by radical theories (and by business actors). This is probably because it is not in fact clear that environmental protection is a goal hostile to capitalism.
Environmental issues have also acted as an impetus to institutional innovation: innovation which the Resource Assessment Commission to some extent exemplified. The Commission's apparent failure (it was shut down two years after the Coronation Hill episode) superficially lends credence to criticism of proposals for institutional reform. Comparative analysis of the Resource Assessment Commission and its established twin the Industry Commission, however, highlights the importance of institutional analysis for revealing that the type of institutional reform must match the type of problem being confronted. The Resource Assessment Commission is shown to be in several ways an inappropriate organisation to deal with issues like Coronation Hill. Thus the fate of the Resource Assessment Commission was largely inevitable, and was determined largely by its nature rather than by political events of the early 1990s.
Theoretically, the Coronation Hill case highlights the limitations of both neo-liberal and ecological approaches to dealing with environmental concerns in the natural resources policy field. It also, however, leads to the conclusion that there is no coherent policy category of 'environmental policy'. Rather, environmental policy issues are similar to other policy issues, and are themselves divided into other more important categories. These categories are defined by the divisions between first, issues in which conflict originates in distributive issues versus those in which that conflict originates in value clashes; and second, those issues in which interests are divided along capital / labour lines, versus those in which they divide in other ways.Thesis (Masters)

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The crowning of a King or Queen of England is and remains an essential part of English tradition. For centuries, British subjects have flocked to the city streets to catch a glimpse of their next monarch. For the Tudors, the spectacle of pageantry was often an ostentatious display of wealth and grandeur. Using horses as an historical lens, this study will examine four different components of equestrianism in Tudor coronation ceremonies: The King’s Champion, the Gilded Spurs, the Master of the Horse, and the Horse of Honor. Despite significant political, religious, and cultural changes that occurred during the Tudor era, these four components remained an essential part of coronation ceremonies and, indeed, was elevated in status, identity, and symbolism to parallel the rise of horse culture in early modern England.

'The virgin, the temptress and the godess' is a visual exploration of love, longing and beauty from the carnal though to the sublime. The narrative of the research has several subtexts: one that explores female archetypes, the muse as figurative source of inspiration and also beauty as a transcendental catalyst. I have sought to represent a comprehensive vision of the female muse that embraces both the spiritual and the sensual and explores the duality of corporeal and metaphysical yearning. This is done through photographic imagery; the journey that it evokes is an interior landscape that takes place in the purgatory that is longing and ascends to a sublime state of stillness and peace through the experience of the divine.

The US Virgin Islands must face drastic changes to its electrical system. There are two problems with electricity production in the USVI-it's dirty and it's expensive. Nearly one hundred percent of the electricity in these islands comes from imported diesel, brought in by ship. Expensive fuel and inefficient power generation facilities have caused residential electricity rates to soar to $0.58 per kWh-five times the national average.' These electricity prices are causing businesses to close their doors and residents to camp in the dark in their own homes because they are unable to pay the bills. This must change. Electricity prices must come down, else risk political and economic disaster. The thesis proposes a set of policies to help USVI get cleaner as its energy gets cheaper. Nearly year-round, the Caribbean sun shines and the Trade Winds blow, yet both are virtually unused. The USVI is in a position to be a world leader in clean energy. The USVI government has demonstrated its commitment to this role as a clean energy leader. In 2009, Governor John P. DeJongh passed Act 7075, creating an ambitious renewable energy standard. By 2025, the USVI will reduce fossil fuel use by 60 percent. Having committed itself, the USVI must determine how it may meet this goal. In this paper, I analyze the issues and propose specific paths towards the USVI clean energy future.

This study concerns two women who were religiously active either side of the Great Schism (1378–1417), a period of intensification of the excesses of personal pride and political ambition that divided the western Church and caused distress to devoted, thoughtful laity and clerics alike. Devout laity sought new expressions of piety in these stressful times and through examining the written legacies of two non-enclosed religious women, Caterina Benincasa and Margery Kempe, I explore not only the contemplative/devotional practices that characterise them, but also the clerics upon whom they relied for protection, support and guidance in male-dominated, strife-ridden medieval Europe. The two women, a northern Italian lifelong virgin for Christ and an East Anglian mother of fourteen children, prima facie, appear to have little in common except claimed illiteracy, a diversity of influences and acknowledging Bridget of Sweden as a fundamental inspirational source. However, both of their personal and literary management teams included members of several religious orders and their written productions were mostly dictated to and edited by men. They both negotiated their ecclesiastical acceptance from the position of institutionally inferior women through the exclusively female rôles of mother/sister/daughter in exerting influence over their father/brother/son managers through confronting them with their male self-images. Although the management practices applied in each case were very different in terms of structure and hierarchical level, the women‘s negotiations with the men followed similar lines, albeit through different written media. Caterina‘s negotiating techniques are found in the immediate medium of her letters and they involve persuasion and instruction as she tries to create situations that she can control in furtherance of her objectives. The study includes a selection of twelve letters that I have translated in full and analysed from the perspective of the register of the dialogues, the style and the imagery contained therein. Evidence of Margery Kempe‘s influence over her managers, including her husband, comes solely from the medium of the retrospective narrative of her Book in which she chooses the events that illustrate how she reacts to and manipulates people and situations to her advantage. The clerical managers were responsible for keeping their head-strong charges compliant with ever-changing contemporary views of orthodoxy within parameters negotiated between the women and the institutional church. Although there are clear, identifiable parallels between the managers in their styles and techniques, there are also differences rooted in the managers‘ perceptions of the two women‘s respective contributions to the furtherance of institutional aims. Caterina‘s situation was that of a woman whose institutional support was considered necessary at the highest levels of the Church‘s management structure. In Margery Kempe‘s case the management seemed to use her to develop aspects of their local inter-institutional competition for status and alms in Lynn. Despite this difference in influential level there is the strong probability of personal contact and shared theological academic backgrounds among the clerics that draws the teams together. This study concentrates primarily on comparing and contrasting the subtleties of the negotiations between each woman and her managers, negotiations which are often influenced by the women‘s introduction of the transcendental force of God‘s will as revealed only to them, and secondarily on the possible connections between the managers that link England to Italy, Lynn to Siena and Margery to Caterina. The management techniques revealed are independent of any connections between the managers and there is little by way of common techniques apart from the complexities of reciprocal management and the women‘s exploitation of male conceptions of what is appropriate to themselves (the managers) and to women in the Church.

This dissertation was an outcome evaluation of the Living Through Learning's Coronation Reading Adventure Room Programme. LTL's reading programme objectives include aspects of improving and developing English literacy in disadvantaged schools, teaching learners how to read and write and equipping teachers with the necessary skills to teach effectively. LTL also provides facilitators to offer assistance to the teachers in order to teach effectively in overcrowded classes. The main programme beneficiaries are teachers and grade one learners. This dissertation focuses on 18 schools in disadvantaged communities in Cape Town who received the literacy programme in 2015. Two evaluation questions were formulated, for the literacy programme. The first evaluation question focused on the learners and assessed whether or not the learners who were part of the CRAR programme were better off regarding literacy performance than they were before the programme. For the teacher characteristics, the evaluation question asked if the teachers' language teaching experience, English language proficiency, teaching self-efficacy, perceptions of usefulness of the LTL materials, and usage of the reading room had any influence on the learner's performance. Secondary data provided by LTL was utilised to answer the literacy programme evaluation question. The data included test scores of grade 1 learners from 18 different schools. Primary data was used for teacher's characteristics and this was done through a questionnaire sent out to the different teachers. Data analysis methods included descriptive statistics for the learners' assessments and inferential statistics for teacher characteristics. The results showed that learners who were part of the LTL programme showed improvement in assessment scores. All schools, except one, attained the realistic NGO (60%) standard in their reading assessments. Three schools attained the high standard (85%). Furthermore, all schools attained the 50% Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements standard in the CAPS based-assessments. Therefore, it can be concluded that the LTL programme successfully aided improvement of literacy skills of the learners who were part of the programme. In an analysis of teacher's characteristics, teacher experience in literacy was the only variable that significantly predicted learner performance in literacy. However, the results must be interpreted with caution; the absence of a comparison group makes it difficult to give all credit to the LTL programme alone. At this point I simply do not know whether it was only the programme that led to the improvement in literacy scores or whether other factors had an influence, or a joint influence in combination with the literacy programme (e.g. learners started reading more in their own time as a result of the programme).

A amÃndoa de castanha de caju (ACC) à um dos principais produtos do agronegÃcio cearense, mas tambÃm à fonte de renda para pequenos produtores rurais, principalmente nos perÃodos de estiagem. A amÃndoa de castanha de caju de maior valor para comercializaÃÃo à que aquela se classifica como inteira de primeira qualidade. As amÃndoas de castanha de caju de qualidade inferior, por cor ou quebradas durante o processamento, chegam a perder 80% do seu valor comercial. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um Ãleo a partir da amÃndoa de castanha de caju de classes inferiores, avaliando os mÃtodos de extraÃÃo a frio (extra virgem - OEV) e com aquecimento prÃvio em micro-ondas (virgem - OV), sua composiÃÃo e caracterÃsticas quÃmicas e fÃsicas, sua estabilidade, caracterÃsticas sensoriais e bioatividade. Na seleÃÃo das amÃndoas para extraÃÃo, considerou-se as caracterÃsticas fÃsico-quÃmicas e de qualidade oxidativa, utilizaram-se seis classes inferiores: B1, S1, W4, SP1, SP2, P1 e uma classe de amÃndoa inteira de primeira qualidade (W240) como referÃncia. Considerando os parÃmetros avaliados, optou-se pelo uso das amÃndoas SP2, de menor preÃo de mercado, visto que todas as classes avaliadas apresentaram boa qualidade fÃsico-quÃmica e oxidativa, com potencial para extraÃÃo do Ãleo (lipÃdios totais superiores a 50%). Na avaliaÃÃo dos processos de extraÃÃo, observou-se maior rendimento da amostra com aquecimento prÃvio em micro-ondas. A amostra OV tambÃm apresentou maior estabilidade oxidativa com tempo de induÃÃo mÃdio de 46,25 horas, contra 39,03 horas da amostra OEV. Possivelmente a maior estabilidade se deu pela maior presenÃa de fenÃlicos totais na amostra OV (316,4 mg/100g) do que na amostra OEV (202,17 mg/100g). Ambos os Ãleos apresentaram aÃÃo antioxidante, possivelmente pela presenÃa de compostos como tocoferÃis, Ãcidos graxos mono e poli-insaturados, fitosterÃis e fenÃlicos identificados nas amostras. Na avaliaÃÃo antimicrobiana, o Ãleo OV possivelmente pelo maior teor de fenÃlicos, apresentou aÃÃo mais efetiva contra microrganismos patogÃnicos, em especial Listeria mocytogenes. Os Ãleos de amÃndoa de castanha de caju OV e OEV apresentaram aÃÃo antiproliferativa contra cÃlulas de cÃncer de mama (MCF7), pulmÃo (A549) e fÃgado (HepG2) somente em altas concentraÃÃes, superiores a 200 Âg/mL. Nos testes sensoriais com consumidores (grupos focais) e na AnÃlise Descritiva Quantitativa Otimizada percebeu-se interesse em consumir o produto caso estivesse disponÃvel no mercado, tanto por seus atributos sensoriais como pelo apelo regional do produto. Os principais atributos das amostras foram brilho, cor amarela, odor e sabor de castanha. Dentro dos aspectos avaliados, o aquecimento prÃvio com micro-ondas pode oferecer um maior rendimento de extraÃÃo, sem perdas significativas dos compostos bioativos ou diminuiÃÃo da aceitaÃÃo sensorial.The cashew nut (CN) is a major agribusiness product of CearÃ, but it is also an income source for small farmers, especially in drought periods. The cashew nut with greater value to market is standardized as whole-grade. The cashew nut inferior grades by color or broken during processing, lose 80% of their market value. This study aimed to develop an oil from the inferior grades cashew nut, evaluating the cold extraction methods (extra virgin - EVCNO) and preheating in microwave (virgin - VCNO), its composition and chemical and physical characteristics, stability, sensory characteristics and bioactivity. In the selection of kernels for extraction, considered the physical and chemical characteristics and oxidative quality, we used lower six grades and qualities: B1, S1, W4, SP1, SP2, P1 and a whole nut-grade grade (W240) as reference. Considering the evaluated parameters, we opted for the use of SP2 kernel, due to the lower market price, since all grades and qualities evaluated showed good physical and chemical quality and oxidative, with potential for oil extraction (total lipids of over 50%). In the assessment of extraction processes, there was a higher yield of the sample with pre-heating in a microwave. The OV sample also showed greater oxidative stability with average induction time of 46.25 hours, 39.03 hours against the OEV sample, possibly given by the greater presence of phenolic compounds in sample VCNO (316.4 mg / 100g) than the sample EVCNO (202.17 mg / 100g). Both oils showed antioxidant activity, possibly due to the presence of compounds such as tocopherols, fatty acids mono and polyunsaturated, phytosterols and phenolic identified in the samples. In antimicrobial evaluation, the VCNO oil possibly due to increased phenolic content, made more effective action against pathogenic microorganisms especially Listeria mocytogenes. VCNO and EVCNO showed antiproliferative action against breast cancer cells (MCF7), lung cancer cells (A549) and liver cancer cells (HepG2) only at high concentrations greater than 200 mg/mL. In sensory tests with consumers (focus groups) and Optimized Descriptive Profile perceived interest in consuming the product if it was available in the market, both for their sensory attributes as the regional appeal of the product. The main attributes of the samples: shining, yellow color, odor and taste of nuts.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis is an interdisciplinary examination of the place of the Virgin Mary in the English reformations of the sixteenth century. Situated at the crossroads of cultural and social history, it engages with the post-revisionist debate within Reformation studies. It seeks to move post-revisionism forward by suggesting that the versatility and vitality of late medieval Mariology enabled reformers, Catholic and Protestant, to select and reject from a basket of possibilities. Consequently it contends that the fissures that had opened up by the time of the Elizabethan settlement had essentially developed along pre-existing fault lines. The first chapter explores the place of the Virgin in the late medieval context. It examines her theological significance, the way ordinary people related to her and, consequently, how they represented her in English parishes. It argues that the Virgin occupied a position which supported both affective and effective piety. The second chapter considers specific ways in which existing Mariological tropes were unsettled by the critiques of Catholic evangelicals, Renaissance humanists and Lollards. It demonstrates that the Virgin was a fluid symbol and suggests some possible trajectories that may have been followed had it not been for the rupture of the Reformation. It contends that the key focus of those advocating reform was the spiritual integrity of devotees. The third chapter investigates developing evangelical Mariology and the subsequent attempts at magisterial reform under Henry VIII and Edward VI. It explores the impact of iconoclasm on parish piety and the transformation of the Virgin into an ordinary woman. It argues for important continuities in the Protestant re-imagination of the Virgin. The final chapter looks at the policies of Mary Tudor and considers how the Virgin was re-imagined in a restored Catholic context. It contributes to the debate on the nature of Mary’s religious programme and assesses the appropriation of Mariological tropes to endorse England’s first Queen regnant. It contends that the reign’s legacy enabled the Elizabethan settlement to reject aspects of the Virgin as foreign, reshaping English identity.

Little is known about the original properties of soils in the East. Eight virgin soils and associated southern Appalachian hardwood vegetation were studied in western North Carolina. The study sites ranged in elevation from 720 to 1200 m on steep slopes. Overall these soils are quite deep and highly weathered due to high rainfall (>200 cm) and soluble feldspathic parent material. Organic matter contents of the surface·horizons were quite high (4.5 - 16 %), and they contained moderate to strong crumb structure. All but one soil contained cambic subsurface horizons and were either Typic Haplumbrepts or Umbric Dystrochrepts. The majority of soils in the watershed are formed in colluvium, but significant amounts of residual soils occur on sideslopes, and appear to be quite stable. The present day landforms appear to be the result of periglacial activity.
North-facing soils were higher in whole soil clay, organic matter, and A horizon exchangeable cations than south-facing soils. Cation exchange capacity in these soils is almost totally dependent on organic matter content, and the mineral fraction is relatively inert. All soils were in the oxidic mineralogy class. Bibbsite was common throughout all soils and hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite (HIV) is the dominant clay-sized phyllosilicate in surface horizons. Kaolinite was low in all soils, but was more abundant on south-facing slopes. The silt fractions and sand fractions contained significant quantities of weathered 2:1-type minerals
The vegetation varied from mixed-mesophytic cove hardwoods on north-facing slopes to mixed oak-hickory and oak-pine on south-facing slopes. Many trees in coves exceed 1.3 m in diameter and 50 m in height. Total litter production averaged 3494 kg/ha, and the litter layers were typified by thin leaf (L), and well developed fermentation (F) and humus (H) layers. Cations and P are concentrated in the litter layers and immediate surface soil, while N is mixed deep into the profile. Due to their oxidic mineralogy, low CEC, decreasing clay content with depth, and concentration of cations and P in litter and standing biomass these soils highly resemble tropical Oxisols.Ph. D.

This thesis examines literary appropriations of the Virgin Mary in the early modem period to argue that she continued to occupy the early modern imagination. The Virgin Mary operates as a lieu de memoire, recalling the Catholic medieval past, but she was refashioned in new terms in the early modern period to ruminate on issues such as mnemonic prayer, material spirituality, motherhood and breastfeeding, female voice, appropriate grief and female authority. By reading a variety of genres, written by both men and women, Protestant and Catholic, from across the period, the thesis argues for the Virgin's sustained relevance. It demonstrates how the Virgin was contested and adapted for various ideological ends. often against the customary religious and gendered understandings of her significance. The Virgin Mary’s body is central to literary appropriations and the thesis argues that Marian imagery retained potency, relevancy and power precisely because of the figure's controversial femininity and her bodily status as virgin mother

The geomorphology of tropical island beaches has received little attention in literature compared to their temperate equivalents. This is particularly true of studies of the spatial and temporal variability of carbonate beaches. The British Virgin Islands (BVI), a small archipelago located in the north-eastern Caribbean contains numerous beaches in a wide variety of settings within a small geographical area. Over 100 beaches across 60+ high volcanic and reef islands were selected for study. Through the analysis of benthic habitat maps, aerial photographs, sedimentary characteristics, and ground-truthing, beach distribution and form are interpreted in terms of their geologic, oceanographic and ecologic setting. The Atlantic-facing beaches exhibit modally high energy waves which drive carbonate-rich sediment onshore from extensive reef systems and a carbonate bank. In contrast, Caribbean-facing beaches, primarily those of coral rubble, are dominated by modally low energy waves punctuated by very high energy events (i.e. hurricanes) and contain a lower proportion of fine-grained carbonate sands. While some of these high energy events have significant short-term impact, many beaches exhibit long-term stability. There has, however, been a general narrowing of beaches over the past 50 years which is tentatively attributed to sand mining in the past. In contrast to the high volcanic islands, Anegada is an emergent reef island comprising a lithified Pleistocene reef core and a sequence of Holocene deposits (beach ridges, lagoons, and mangroves). The form and distribution of the island's contemporary sedimentary environment reveal four distinctive coastlines. Three of these coastlines have shown relative stability over the past 149 years while one coastline has morphologically adjusted to surrounding environmental conditions by rotating in a counter clockwise motion. All the beaches are subject to a variety of human impacts and require a formal coastal management response, however, this has not yet been realised. Despite an existing statutory framework for beach management, environmental degradation from uncontrolled coastal development and space-use conflicts caused by unmanaged mass tourism continues. A current case study reveals the management plan requires implementation via a co-management regime between the local beach community and stakeholders with support from the local government. A simple framework is presented that provides thirteen environmental, socio-cultural, economic and governance goals which define the context in which the management plan operates. This framework ensures not only a clear understanding of what constitutes sustainable beach management, but also sustainable development specifically within the BVI.

The ability of Great Britain to build what became the largest empire the world has yet known was largely influenced by the Industrial Revolution which began in the late eighteenth-century. A variety of constituents were responsible for creating the phenomena which changed the face of British history, not least the economic remittances made by the British West Indian colonies. By the end of the eighteenth-century, William Pitt estimated that four-fifths of all income received from the British overseas colonies came from the British West Indies, which once deposited into the treasury contributed significantly towards building the infrastructure which industrialised the nation. Throughout the century which spawned this remarkable change in British social and economic organisation, wars were fought which inevitably became fiercely contested in the West Indian colonies because of the revenue each produced for their respective countries. In order to protect this vital source of income, every island created a defence network which although terrestrially based, was essentially focused on the surrounding host water mass in order to prevent invasion and subsequent plunder. It will plausibly be argued in the closing chapter of this thesis that had these various defence networks not been constructed in the British West Indian colonies, the revenue which helped fuel the Industrial Revolution would have been compromised and British history could have been different. The following study traces the evolution and effectiveness of the defence network created in the British Virgin Islands, with an initiatory examination of defence development in the British Leeward region as a whole.

Cette thèse de doctorat a pour objectif d’étudier le rôle et la fonction de la tradition et des innovations dans la création de nouveaux textes rituels dans l’Égypte ptolémaïque. L’étude est concentrée sur une analyse approfondie de l’organisation structurelle et de la composition rituelle d’un des rituels les plus élaborés et les plus complexes que nous connaissons dans l’Égypte ptolémaïque: le rituel du couronnement du faucon sacré à Edfou, représenté sur le mur d’enceinte du temple. Les sources disponibles suggèrent que ce rituel est une nouvelle composition de l’époque ptolémaïque dans laquelle des traditions sont associées à des traits nouveaux, ce qui ouvre la possibilité d’une analyse sur le rôle et la fonction de la tradition dans ce rituel, sur l’étendue de l’originalité de la composition, et sur les processus de composition et d’édition qui ont abouti à la création de ce nouveau rituel. L’analyse de l’organisation structurelle du rituel a montré que l’ordre des scènes rituelles sur la paroi ne correspond pas nécessairement à celui dans lequel les actes rituels étaient exécutés dans la réalité et que rituel n’était pas nécessairement effectué là où il se trouvait représenté. Ces conclusions ont débouché sur une nouvelle reconstruction de la séquence rituelle du couronnement du faucon sur la base des inscriptions hiéroglyphiques. De plus, en s’appuyant sur une analyse approfondie des sources textuelles, iconographiques, lexicographiques et archéologiques, une nouvelle identification des lieux où se déroulait le rituel dans le domaine du temple d’Edfou a été proposéeThis research project investigates the role and function of tradition in the composition of new ritual texts in Ptolemaic Egypt on the basis of an in-depth analysis of the structural organisation and ritual composition of one the most elaborate and complex temple rituals known from Ptolemaic Egypt: the coronation ritual of the sacred living falcon. The available source material suggests that this ritual was a new composition of the Ptolemaic period in which tradition was merged with contemporary ideas. An investigation of the interrelations of the ritual texts and iconographic themes of this ritual with other textual and iconographic materials enabled us to investigate the role and function of tradition in the ritual, to identify the editorial processes to which the new composition was subjected and to reach conclusions on the extent of originality and the conceptualisation of innovation in ancient Egyptian ritual composition. The analysis of the structural organisation of the ritual on the temple walls has shown that the order of the ritual scenes on the temple walls does not necessarily reflect the order in which the ritual took place in reality and that the ritual was not necessarily carried out in the specific location where it is depicted on the temple walls. These findings resulted in a new reconstruction of the ritual sequence of the coronation ritual of the falcon based on the hieroglyphic inscriptions. On the basis of textual, iconographic and lexicographic material combined with an analysis of the archaeological sources a new identification was proposed of the various locations in and around the Edfu temple domain where the ritual was carried out

In this study I attempted to create a historically informed performance of Handel's Four Coronation Anthems at the pitch of a1 = 423, without the benefit of baroque instruments. The issue of lowering the performance pitch from a1 = 440 to a1 = 423 had varying effects on the singers and instrumentalists. Replicating the baroque sound required some modifications to modern instruments and some mental and vocal adjustments for the singers. Several singers experienced vocal relief due to the lowered pitch, while some instrumentalists were faced with re-adjusting their technique to compensate for the modifications made to their instruments. The modifications ranged from exchanging the violin and viola strings from steel to gut to lengthening the oboe reeds and the bassoon's bocal enough to effectively lower the pitch almost a half step, or .17 Hertz (Hz.). Through the aid of audio and visual recordings of the performance and the performer's questionnaires, several discoveries were made about creating a historically informed performance. Primarily, when changing the pitch of a composition, it is better to adjust the pitch in half steps rather than quarter-tone increments. It was further revealed when changing the pitch that some singers experienced difficulty maintaining pitch due to their vocal muscle memory, whereas, some instrumentalists possess varying degrees of individual pitch memory and perception. In order to deal effectively with the issue of maintaining pitch, it was revealed that it is important to have more rehearsal time at the adjusted pitch. With respect to the modifications made to the instruments, it is vital to the success of the performance to allow the players enough time with modified instruments to be able to maintain consistent tuning within the instrument. The musician's individual pitch perception and preference have an affect on the performance, and the conductor would be well advised to refer to the discoveries presented in this document. This study was successful in discovering ways to present a historically informed performance at a pitch other than a1 = 440 and several suggestions for creating further historically informed performances were explored.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The identification of Rembrandt as a ���Protestant��� artist has, since the middle of the
nineteenth century, defined and directed analytical perspective of his biblical works.
In the initial stages of Rembrandt���s reinvention as representative of the Protestant
culture of his age, religion was not important in terms of the art produced; it was an
indication of political identity. A recognition of the importance of Rembrandt���s
religious beliefs to his biblical works led later art historians to define these works in
terms of a Protestant identity. Rembrandt was a ���Protestant���; he was ipso facto
Protestant artist. To substantiate this claim, academic research has sought to identify
those particular characteristics which are thought to be Protestant and which can be
readily identified in Rembrandt���s work.
There is a substantial body of work within Rembrandt���s biblical oeuvre which
challenges that paradigm. These are works which show the Virgin Mary, a figure
largely marginalised in Protestant belief. These are generally acknowledged as
���Catholic��� or ���made for a Catholic audience���, but they are analysed either as
eccentricities or as Catholic subjects which Rembrandt has manipulated to allow for a
Protestant understanding. No attempt has been made to place these works within the
Catholic tradition to which they belong.
This thesis hopes to redress the balance by examining a largely un-researched body of
Rembrandt���s Marian work. The first section surveys the notion of ���Protestant��� art and
those writers who claim to recognise such a phenomenon in Rembrandt���s work. It
examines the place of the Virgin Mary in Post-Reformation Protestant ideology and
reviews Rembrandt���s history within a spectrum of religious beliefs. Finally it takes an
overview of the presence of the Virgin Mary in Rembrandt���s oeuvre, seeking possible
inspiration and explanation from the events in his daily life. The second section
analyses six representative works in order to show that these Marian subjects are not
religious works manipulated to a Protestant understanding but are artworks that show,
both overtly and covertly, that Rembrandt was aware of and actively acknowledged
the place of the Virgin Mary, both in the Catholic visual tradition and in the
contemporary Catholic theology of his age.

An assessment of the current water conservation and reuse practices in the United States Virgin Islands was undertaken by administering surveys to Territory Permit Discharge Elimination System permit holders and performing interviews. Currently, many resorts and condominiums in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) reclaim wastewater in response to water scarcity for such things as irrigation and toilet flushing, but few practice water conservation. Unfortunately, the municipal wastewater treatment plants do not practice any form of reuse. Because of the need for reuse and conservation planning in the community, eight reuse alternatives were developed for the two large municipal wastewater treatment plants on St. Thomas and St. Croix. Those reuse alternatives include: (1) residential irrigation on St. Thomas, (2) habitat restoration utilizing wetlands on St. Thomas, (3) community-wide conservation and habitat restoration on St. Thomas, (4) airport irrigation on St. Croix, (5) commercial irrigation and industrial process/cooling water on St. Croix, (6) agricultural irrigation on St. Croix, (7) habitat restoration utilizing wetlands on St. Croix, and (8) community-wide conservation and habitat restoration on St. Croix. Out of these eight alternatives, habitat restoration on both St. Thomas and St. Croix, community-wide conservation and habitat restoration on both St. Thomas and St. Croix, and agricultural irrigation on St. Croix are the most economical based on the normalized cost per gallon of reclaimed and conserved water. However, agricultural irrigation on St. Croix and community-wide conservation and habitat restoration on both St. Thomas and St. Croix provide the most benefits to the community. Agricultural irrigation provides farmers a low-cost option to meet water demand and production requirements. Community-wide conservation and habitat restoration alternatives provide an educational environment and promote conservation practices thus reducing water consumption, water cost, and wastewater production. From the assessment it is apparent that promoting conservation and reclaiming wastewater effluent results in a reduction of effluent discharged to the ocean, conservation of fresh-water sources, reduction of energy and pollution due to lower production needed by USVI Water and Power Authority (WAPA), and avoidance or delay in USVI WAPA expansion to meet non-potable water needs. Before undertaking design of a reuse project incorporation of public information and participation, public health impact identification, and local and federal government participation is crucial to project success.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
With the exponential growth in carbon-fibre use, establishing recycling routes for the composite waste is now imperative. As recycling processes are maturing, it is vital to introduce the recyclates in non-safety-critical structural applications. This work aimed at studying the mechanical response of recycled composites and developing analytical models for predicting their failure, and also that of their virgin precursors. The effect of recycling on the mechanical response of composites was assessed by comparing virgin and recycled materials with identical woven architectures. The performance depended on the reclamation cycle and loading mode; under optimal recycling conditions, above 75% of strength and virtually 100% of stiffness were recovered. An experimental study of three state-of-the-art recycled composites revealed complex microstructures, featuring fibres and bundles (held together by residual matrix) of different sizes; this microstructure was key for the fracture process, as bundles significantly toughened the materials. The unique multiscale architecture and mechanical behaviour, while making these recyclates suitable for structural applications, created a need for the development of specific mechanical models for design. In order to predict the intrinsic properties of composites with such multiscale reinforcement, original models for size effects on the tensile strength and fracture toughness of composite bundles were developed. These models combine statistics, micromechanics and self-similar processes; while their development was originally motivated by recycled composites, they are equally relevant for unidirectional virgin composites. Subsequently, a micromechanical model for the fracture toughness of recycled composites was developed; this accounts for fracture, debonding and pull-out of reinforcing units with different sizes and orientations, and was successfully validated against the wide range of toughnesses experimentally measured in the recyclates. This work shows that recycled composites offer an environmentally-friendly and performance-competitive alternative to current structural materials. The models developed can support the optimisation of recycling processes towards damage tolerant materials, as well as their application for eco-design of non-safety-critical structures.
