Faith, Desire, and Sexual Identity: Constance Maynard's Atonement for Passion
No full textThe article focuses on Constance Louisa Maynard, the first mistress of Westfield College in London, England. According to the author, Maynard has written various considerable books, both published and unpublished. She started her writings at the age of 16 in 1866 mainly to document her progress as a Christian. In 1871, her writing became her outlet for her passion about love, complex dealings with faith, desire, and sexual identity. It further notes that Maynard's frankness in disclosing her feelings through her writings adds distress and great historical value to her personal accounts
SchussenAktivplus: reduction of micropollutants and of potentially pathogenic bacteria for further water quality improvement of the river Schussen, a tributary of Lake Constance, Germany
No full textThe project focuses on the efficiency of combined technologies to reduce the release of micropollutants and bacteria into surface waters via sewage treatment plants of different size and via stormwater overflow basins of different types. As a model river in a highly populated catchment area, the river Schussen and, as a control, the river Argen, two tributaries of Lake Constance, Southern Germany, are under investigation in this project. The efficiency of the different cleaning technologies is monitored by a wide range of exposure and effect analyses including chemical and microbiological techniques as well as effect studies ranging from molecules to communities
Council of Constance (1414-1418)
No full textBakalářská práce je věnována koncilu v Kostnici, jenž se konal v letech 1414-1418. Jsou zde nastíněny příčiny a průběh shromáždění, jež bylo svoláno kvůli papežskému schizmatu, které sužovalo církev od roku 1378, a také pro vyřešení problémů českých reformistů v čele s Janem Husem a wycliffismu. Autor se zaměřuje také na důsledky koncilu pro další historický vývoj v katolické církvi, Svaté říši římské a českých zemích, které ovlivnily průběh dějin.ObhájenoBachelor Thesis is devoted to Council of Constance, which took place in 1414-1418. Here are outlined the causes and course of the assembly, which was convened for the papal schism, which plagued the church since 1378, and also to solve the problems of the Czech reformists led by Jan Hus and wycliffism. The author also focuses on the implications of the council for further historical development in the Catholic church, Holy Roman Empire and Czech Kingdom, which influenced the course of history
Effects of Child Abuse on The Main Character of Constance Briscoe’s Ugly
No full textThis thesis entitled Effects of Child Abuse on the Main Character of Constance Briscoe’s Ugly. The source of data in this research is novel Ugly by Constance Briscoe. It is a true story of the author‟s childhood. The purpose of this thesis to analyze the types of child abuse and the effects of child abuse experienced by the main character. Clare was always abused by her own mother since she is 6 years old. There are four types of abuse that happen in the novel, such as physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. All the abuse that happened make Clare feel depression, anxiety and she tries to commit suicide. In this thesis the writer used theory by Richard J. Gelles and use descriptive qualitative method for analyzing data.Skripsi ini berjudul Effects of Child Abuse on the Main Character of Constance Briscoe’s Ugly. Sumber data pada penelitian ini adalah novel Ugly karangan Constance Briscoe. Novel ini adalah kisah nyata masa kecil pengarang.

The missing link: an examination of skin clothing production of north central plains Native Americans
No full textDeer hides are one of the most commonly used materials for clothing production among the prehistoric Northern Great Plains peoples. Richard Michael Gramly?s 1977 article, Deerskins and Hunting Territories: Competition for a Scarce Resource of the Northeastern Woodlands, assumed an estimate of 3.5 hides per person per year. A figure widely cited in anthropological literature, yet provides no supporting data. This investigation seeks to find that data as applied to the Plains Indians. Measurements were taken of known clothing articles to determine surface area, and these were compared with the surface areas of average sizes of small, medium, and large hides. Comparing the surface areas allowed for an accurate estimation of the number of hides needed by both a man and woman for an appropriate climate wardrobe. Such information can be vital in interpreting prehistoric and historic hunting patterns, with significant social and ecological implications

No full textRepeated Lake-Stream Divergence in Stickleback Life History within a Central European Lake Basin
No full textLife history divergence between populations inhabiting ecologically distinct habitats might be a potent source of reproductive isolation, but has received little attention in the context of speciation. We here test for life history divergence between threespine stickleback inhabiting Lake Constance (Central Europe) and multiple tributary streams. Otolith analysis shows that lake fish generally reproduce at two years of age, while their conspecifics in all streams have shifted to a primarily annual life cycle. This divergence is paralleled by a striking and consistent reduction in body size and fecundity in stream fish relative to lake fish. Stomach content analysis suggests that life history divergence might reflect a genetic or plastic response to pelagic versus benthic foraging modes in the lake and the streams. Microsatellite and mitochondrial markers further reveal that life history shifts in the different streams have occurred independently following the colonization by Lake Constance stickleback, and indicate the presence of strong barriers to gene flow across at least some of the lake-stream habitat transitions. Given that body size is known to strongly influence stickleback mating behavior, these barriers might well be related to life history divergence
Under-Foliage Object Imaging Using SAR Tomography and Polarimetric Spectral Estimators
No full textInternational audienceThis paper addresses the imaging of objects located under a forest cover using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar tomography (POLTOMSAR) at L-band. High-resolution spectral estimators, able to accurately discriminate multiple scattering centers in the vertical direction, are used to separate the response of objects and vehicles embedded in a volumetric background. A new polarimetric spectral analysis technique is introduced and is shown to improve the estimation accuracy of the vertical position of both artificial scatterers and natural environments. This approach provides optimal polarimetric features that may be used to further characterize the objects under analysis. The effectiveness of this novel technique for POLTOMSAR is demonstrated using fully polarimetric L-band airborne data sets acquired by the German Aerospace Center (DLR)'s E-SAR system over the test site in Dornstetten, Germany
Publish or Perish! Constance de Salm’s Identity Crisis and Unfulfilled Promise
No full textThis article focuses on a little-known text by Constance de Salm (1767–1845), an author of increasing interest to specialists in early nineteenth-century literature. It examines in particular the reasons why an ambitious woman of letters with a long-standing experience in Germany never finished (and published) a comparative study she intended to write: Des Allemands comparés aux Français dans leurs mœurs, leurs usages et leur vie intérieure et sociale. Her desire to introduce German society to the French competed with Salm\u27s unwillingness to take risks. As she knew from the reception of Staël\u27s ‘De l\u27Allemagne’, making generalizations about a society could easily be the source of controversial scrutiny. She refused to expose herself to the damaging effect this publication could have for her in her adoptive country. The availability of Salm\u27s correspondence in an on line database has made possible a detailed analysis of her motivations and anxieties. A completed Des Allemands would have undoubtedly differed from Germaine de Staël\u27s De l\u27Allemagne in scope and method, and the article concludes that its existence might have enabled Salm to join Staël among the female pioneers who brought German culture to the attention of the French in the early nineteenth century
