Mead, Behaviorism and Indeterminacy
No full textSchleiermacher once said that every interpretation is the best. I would add, provided the interpreter understands that his is an interpretation, not the final statement of whatever it is that one seeks to interpret. Collins\u27 wide-ranging and provocative essay (to which I can not do full justice here) on Mead generally avoids imposing on us the definitive reading of Mead. The author correctly points out that we have a legitimate choice between the various intellectual elements in Mead. Still, I would like to take issue with Collins\u27 choice. Not because it does not have merit, but because it leaves out what I believe to be most important and original in Mead\u27s writings

ADA President 1946-1947: Sterling Vernon Mead
No full textDoctor Mead, of Washington, D.C., became the eighty-third president of the Association at the 1946 meeting in Miami. A 1945 meeting of the House of Delegates in Omaha had been scheduled but was cancelled because of the war. Doctor Mead, an oral surgeon, served as president of the District of Columbia Dental Society in 1929. He was a professor of oral surgery at Georgetown University School of Dentistry. He founded the Mead Dental Hospital which operated in Washington from 1959 to 1966. Doctor Mead was the author of three textbooks: Oral Surgery, Diseases of the Mouth, and Anesthesia in Dental Surgery. He was born in Kansas in 1888 and died in 1973
Asymmetries of the oceanic thermohaline circulation and meridional heat transport
No full textRecent studies have indicated that oceanic meridional heat transport is a major component of the global heat budget. The meridional heat transport patterns of the ocean are asymmetric; involving northward transport throughout the Atlantic and stronger poleward transport in the South Pacific than in the North Pacific. This study has examined relationships between these asymmetries and asymmetric thermohaline circulations using simple-geometry ocean general circulation models (OGCM's). It has been found that oceanic meridional heat transports are associated largely with thermohaline overturning involving high-latitude sinking and upwelling at mid and low latitudes. The results indicate that the observed heat transport asymmetry is associated with the spread of North Atalantic Deep Water (NADW) throughout the World Ocean and, therefore, with the asymmetric distribution of deep water formation regions. A relatively minor association between the asymmetry of Atlantic heat transports and circumpolar continuity in the Southern Hemisphere has also been identified. Experiments were also performed to assess the influence of high-latitude surface freshwater fluxes on deep water formation and meridional heat transports. However, this influence was not adequately tested as a feedback between surface salinities and thermohaline overturning, which occurs in OGCM's having flux surface salinity boundary conditions (Bryan (1986)), sustained the initial circulations of the experiments. Differences between flux surface salinity boundary conditions and linear restoring conditions, which couple surface salinities to imposed salinity fields, have been examined. Linear restoring conditions suppress the feedback between surface salinities and thermohaline overturning, but can result in unrealistic surface freshwater flux distributions. These factors should be considered when selecting surface salinity boundary conditions for OGCM studies. (DX86645)</p

Session C8 - Sand Creek Meanders Inside Culvert
No full textBryan Ripp, P.E., P.G., CPESC has more than 25 years of nationwide and international experience in the engineering properties of earth materials and geomorphic processes. His strong background in earth sciences, engineering, and construction provide a comprehensive approach to the assessment and stabilization of water resources. Bryan's experience in fluvial geomorphology includes geomorphic assessments of streams throughout the Midwest. He is the engineer of record for the Natural Channel Design interventions, including stream energy balance and soil bioengineering structures. His project experience includes storm water management structures design and ecological restoration. Bryan has co-authored several professional papers on the subjects of stream channel geometry, treatment of karst sinkholes and numerical analyses of root wad placements. He has presented several workshops on stream management, including one for plan reviewers sponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).The main runway for this general aviation airport requires routing Sand Creek through a 600-foot long culvert under the runway. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources required that the channel within the culvert must contain elements which allow fish passage or more specifically places for fish to rest. This requirement eliminated the typical design of a flat-bottom, lined culvert, such as a typical box culvert. In order to meet the goals of the design, a process-based geomorphic assessment of the creek was conducted, including a longitudinal profile. Using Natural Channel Design, a meandering, two-stage channel within a 24-foot-wide arch culvert was designed. HEC-RAS was used to properly size the culvert to pass the 100-year recurrence flood as well as model the channel shears for choosing and sizing bank and channel treatments. In addition, FishXing software was used to verify fish could travel upstream in the pool/riffle structure planned. The resulting design was a rock-lined two-stage channel with a pool/riffle structure within the culvert. In the design, the new channel was reconnected to the existing channel, as a two-stage channel with pre-vegetated coir log and rock bank treatments and Newbury rock weir grade controls in a sand-bottom channel. The culvert and channel inside, and the realigned channel with pre-vegetated coir logs were completed in late 2009. Live staking and bare-root planting in the reconstructed floodplain was completed during the spring 2010. The design team presented this design to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, including a comprehensive understanding of the geomorphic setting as well as the science and engineering rationale behind the design. Had the team not proposed this design, the project would have been placed on indefinite hold and likely be in litigation. Placing multiple meanders within a culvert is arguably the first of its kind in the US
