Recent Changes in the Shoreline near Point Barrow, Alaska
No full textContains a study of the shoreline, its erosion and factors causing it along a stretch of some 30 miles southwest and southeast of Point Barrow. The rapid changes in shoreline configuration, especially at "Nuwuk" the triangulation station at the tip of Point Barrow, and along the south shore of Elson Lagoon were found to be not the result of vigorous action of waves or currents, but due to the presence of ground ice along the shores, which when thawing during the brief summer is easily removed even by feeble sea action. Author\u27s observations were made while at Arctic Research Laboratory at Barrow, engaged in a geothermal project. Bibliographical footnotes
Mapping and promoting South Africa : Barrow and Burchell\u27s rivalry
No full textBarrow\u27s six years at the Cape, with four long journeys, and Burchell\u27s close on five years ox-wagon travel gave Barrow\u27s Account of Travels pre-eminent authority status, with jealous attacks on rival travellers\u27 books and their maps. This criticism included those of Burchell, as scientist and mapmaker largely his superior. Burchell hit back with equal vituperation. Despite their enmity they advanced knowledge of the interior "least known to Europeans" (Barrow) and came together in promoting the Zuurveld as place of settlement for the 5 000 emigrants dispatched in 1820 by a government aiming to export potential radicals among the unemployed. Burchell depicted the Zuurveld as a demi-paradise to the Poor Law Commission of parliament and Barrow did the same to ministers. The anti-Xhosa \u27buffer\u27 was never an issue and the 1834 Rharhabe invasion unforeseen. Barrow, public figure and prolific author, outshone Burchell, the retired botanist and benefactor of Kew Gardens: the latter\u27s fame has come late. The long-term consequence of their case for Zuurveld settlement is still undecided
Increasing author counts in neurosurgical journals from 1980 to 2020
No full textOBJECTIVE: Scientific productivity, as assessed by publication volume, is a common metric by which the academic neurosurgical field assesses its members. The number of authors per peer-reviewed article has been observed to increase over time across a broad range of medical specialties. This study provides an update to this trend in the neurosurgical literature. METHODS: All publications from January 1, 1980, to April 30, 2020, were queried from four neurosurgical journals: Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery (JNS), JNS: Pediatrics, and JNS: Spine. Publication information was acquired from the National Center for Biotechnology Information Entrez database and reconciled with the Scopus database. Publication type was limited to articles and excluded editorials, letters, and reviews. The number of authors and affiliation counts were determined based on structured abstract fields provided in the two databases. RESULTS: Between January 1, 1980, and April 30, 2020, the overall increase in author count for the four neurosurgical journals was 0.12 to 0.18 authors per year (p \u3c 0.001). For Neurosurgery, the mean (SD) author count increased from 2.81 (1.4) in 1980-1985 to 7.97 (4.92) in 2016-2020 (p \u3c 0.001). For the JNS, the mean (SD) author count increased from 2.82 (1.04) in 1980-1985 to 7.6 (3.65) in 2016-2020 (p \u3c 0.001). The percentage of articles with more than 10 authors increased from 0.2% to 22.3% in Neurosurgery and from 1.9% to 17.5% in JNS. Only 28% of the author count variation was explained by an increasing number of institutional or departmental affiliations. CONCLUSIONS: Author counts for peer-reviewed articles in neurosurgical academic journals have increased significantly during the past 4 decades, with large increases in the numbers of articles with more than 10 authors in the past 5 years. A total of 28% of the variation in this increase can be explained by an increase in multiinstitutional or multidepartmental studies
No Global Citizenship? Re-Envisioning Global Citizenship Education in Times of Growing Nationalism
No full textThis article presents a discussion of the author\u27s concern over a statement President Trump made in his first Thank You Tour speech, given Dec 1, 2016, in Cincinnati Ohio. There is no global anthem. No global currency. No certificate of global citizenship. We pledge allegiance to one flag and that flag is the American flag. Here Elizabeth Barrow writes that this single statement delivered in a speech marking a return to candidate Trump\u27s isolationist and nationalistic rhetoric has alarmed international educators and researchers who fear that this resurgence of nationalism is, at best, ignoring, and at worst, undermining, global education and global citizenship education in the United States. Barrow explains that recent global increases in nationalist rhetoric and actions as countries and nation-states around the world isolate themselves in response to economic, political, and social issues, such as increased refugee immigration: Brexit in the United Kingdom (Taub, 2016); Hungary and Macedonia closing borders (Kingsley, 2015; Huggler & Holehouse, 2016); Russia\u27s annexation of Crimea, grabbing land and territory in the name of nationalism(Arnold, 2016) are equally disturbing. Barrow defends the position that Nationalism and patriotism have been a part of citizenship education since its inception, but nationalism coupled with an ignorance of the world outside of the United States leads to a perpetuation of U.S. ethnocentrism and exceptionalism. She believes that promoting nationalism and patriotism have been a part of citizenship education since its inception, but nationalism coupled with an ignorance of the world outside of the United States leads to a perpetuation of U.S. ethnocentrism and exceptionalism. Barrow insists that a recognition of our world\u27s shared humanity lives within the core of global citizenship education. The article concludes with a call from High School Journal for educators, researchers, and policymakers to submit original manuscripts that explore the predicament of teaching global citizenship in a hyper patriotic and nationalistic society, and describe the ways that educators are responding to it
On the Disposition of Horses in Kozel Barrow
No full textСтатья посвящена изучению особенностей расположения конских погребений в скифском царском
кургане Козёл IV в. до н. э., раскопанном И. Е. Забелиным в 1865 г. В научный оборот вводятся письменные источники по исследованию памятника. Материалы кургана Козёл сравниваются с соответствующими данными из кургана Чертомлык,
где найдены подобные конские могилы.The article deals with the disposition of horses in
Kozel barrow of the IV century BC situated in the left
coast Lower Dnieper region. 11 horses were buried in
three special tombs there. The horses were adorned
with silver and bronze bridles, some had also saddles with golden plagues, and some had bronze breast
(neck) dressings. I. E. Zabelin, the author of excavation this barrow,
had described the disposition of horses. We had analyzed the arrangement of horses on the basis of this
description. We had seen some rhythm in the arrangement of the horses in silver and bronze dressings. The
regularity observed was based on the colour difference of horse bridles. Comparing the results of our observations
on the Kozel horses disposition with the disposition of horses in Chertomlyk barrow we had found
some resemblance between them also basing on the colour difference of horse bridles.
A. Yu. Alexeev analyzing Chertomlyk horse tombs became to a conclusion this way of space organization
of horse tombs is an evidence of royal status of the buried person. This conclusion may be applied for
Kozel barrow also, but it is smaller and not so rich, and usually is interpreted as a burial of royal family member.
But we should not forgot that nobody knows of the treasures contained this plundered barrow
John Barrow, the Quarterly Review’s Imperial Reviewer – J. M. R Cameron
No full textJohn Barrow (1764-1848), traveller, author, colonial administrator, in uential member of the Royal Society, co-founder of the Royal Geographical Society and Second Secretary to the Admiralty for forty years, was a major contributor to the Quarterly Review, writing more than two hundred articles between 1809 and 1841, three quarters of them while Gi ord and Coleridge were editors. In a widely repeated anecdote written one year before his death, Barrow attributed his involvement to an invitation from George Canning, then Foreign Secretary, and his subsequent discussion with Gi ord. When Barrow o ered to review LouisChrétien de Guignes’s recently published account of his experiences in east Asia while he was the French representative in Canton (1784-1800),1 Gi ord agreed readily as ‘it is one at your ngers ends, and one that few know anything about … and I am gasping for something new’.
Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation in Barrow Canyon
No full textAuthor Posting. © American Meteorological Society, 2012. This article is posted here by permission of American Meteorological Society for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Journal of Physical Oceanography 42 (2012): 1012–1021, doi:10.1175/JPO-D-11-0184.1.Pacific Water flows across the shallow Chukchi Sea before reaching the Arctic Ocean, where it is a source of heat, freshwater, nutrients, and carbon. A substantial portion of Pacific Water is routed through Barrow Canyon, located in the northeast corner of the Chukchi. Barrow Canyon is a region of complex geometry and forcing where a variety of water masses have been observed to coexist. These factors contribute to a dynamic physical environment, with the potential for significant water mass transformation. The measurements of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation presented here indicate diapycnal mixing is important in the upper canyon. Elevated dissipation rates were observed near the pycnocline, effectively mixing winter and summer water masses, as well as within the bottom boundary layer. The slopes of shear/stratification layers, combined with analysis of rotary spectra, suggest that near-inertial wave activity may be important in modulating dissipation near the bottom. Because the canyon is known to be a hotspot of productivity with an active benthic community, mixing may be an important factor in maintenance of the biological environment.ELS was supported as a WHOI Postdoctoral
