    The magnetic fabric and depositional environments of loess deposits

    No full text
    The method of defining the bulk sedimentary fabric by equating it with the magnetic fabric (the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) has been to yield reliable, well-defined results for moderately to strongly magnetic samples. Highly weathered horizons occurring within fresh sediment can be identified by results which are not sufficiently precise to define an ordered grain fabric.Two end-member styles of magnetic fabric have been observed in the results of measurements on long, continuous sections of terrestrial silt. These styles are sufficiently different to enable the distinction between various modes of formation not immediately apparent from the bulk sedi-mentology.The sedimcntological characteristics of the silts have been used to confirm the primary evidence from the magnetic fabric for the origins of the deposits. It is, therefore, postulated that the first, constrained, style of magnetic fabric represents subaqueous deposition from a moving body of water, whilst the second, more random, style represents deposition from a succession of dust-falls, ie. the fabric of a primary aeolian loess.</p

    Kurt David Brook was born in Vienna on November 9, 1911. He lived under his prewar name Bruckner at Hansalgasse 3 in the third Viennese district. Closeby, at Stubenbastei, he attended high school, the "Realgymnasium 3", and then went to butcher school. He immigrated to the US via Rotterdam. In his professional career, Mr. Brook was working as a butcher in wholesale. He died on 06/21/2000 in New York, NY.Austrian Heritage CollectionSee also Kurt David Brook Collection (AR 10850

    Analysis of Runge-Kutta methods using Butcher tableaus

    No full text
    This Bachelor thesis provides an analysis of Runge-Kutta methods using Butcher tableaus. Runge-Kutta method are numerical methods used for approximating initial value problems. A Runge-Kutta method can be classified as either an explicit or an implicit method. A special kind of implicit methods are diagonally implicit methods. The type of method can be recognised by the Butcher tableau. Using the entries of the Butcher tableau, one can compute the amplification factor of a Runge-Kutta method. The amplification factor can then be used to compute the order of the local truncation error and the stability region. Examples of these computations are given for seven methods. Furthermore, this thesis provides an algorithm to perform time steps for each of the three types of Runge-Kutta methods. Finally, in order to analyse the global truncation error of the seven methods, the algorithm to perform time steps is used with different step sizes.Applied Mathematic

    The Three Sector Solution

    No full text
    This collection of essays had its origins in a one-day workshop held in August 2015 at The Australian National University. Jointly convened by Dr John Butcher (ANZSOG) and Professor David Gilchrist (Curtin Not-for-profit Initiative) the purpose of the workshop was to bring together academic researchers, policy practitioners and thought leaders to address a variety of emerging issues facing policymakers, public sector commissioners, not-for-profit providers of publicly funded services, and businesses interested in opportunities for social investment. The workshop itself generated a great deal of interest and a ‘baker’s dozen’ of contributors challenged and engaged a full house. The level of enthusiasm shown by the audience for the subject matter was such that the decision to curate the presentations in the form of a book was never in doubt. The editors trust that this volume will vindicate that decision. At one time the state exercised a near monopoly in the delivery of social programs. Today, almost every important public problem is a three sector problem and yet we have little idea of what a high-performing three sector production system looks like. It is the editors’ hope that this volume will provide a foundation for some answers to these important public policy questions

    Gondwanocentrus humphriesi Butcher & Quicke sp. nov. Material examined. 1 Female, CHILE, Region ×, Parc Nacional Puyehue Anticura Sendero Repucura, sweeping in Nothofagus /Cusqueira forest, 447m, 17.ii.2005, 40º 39 ’ 53 ”S 70 º 10 ’ 02”W. Description. Body length 2.8 mm, fore wing 2.6 mm and exserted part of ovipositor 0.5 mm. Flagellum with 14 segments. Terminal flagellomere 1.5 × wider than 1 st. Apical three flagellar segments distinctly swollen and wider than rest of flagellum. First flagellomere 1.1 × longer than both the 2 nd and 3 rd separately; 3.6 × longer than wide. Face without midlongitudinal ridge, strongly transversely striate. Frons, occiput and temples coarsely rugose. Distance between posterior ocelli: transverse diameter of posterior ocellus: shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye = 3: 1: 3. Temples wide and rounded. Pronotum forming a short but distinct neck. Mesosoma 1.7 × longer than high, largely setose (Fig. 6). Forewing: pterostigma 4 × longer than maximally wide; lengths of r-rs: 3 RSa: 3 RSb = 1.0: 2.7: 3.7; vein 1 CUa: 1 Cub = 1.0: 2.1 (Fig. 5). Hind wing: vein M+CU 1.25 × longer than 1 -M; vein m-cu slightly postfurcal. Fore femur with fine transverse sculpture, 4.5 × longer than maximally deep. Fore tibia 1.1 × longer than fore tarsus. Fore basitarsus 5 × longer than deep, 0.33 × length of whole tarsus. Hind coxa coarsely sculptured, transversely striate posterodorsally. Hind femur: tibia: tarsus: basitarsus = 0.85: 1.0: 0.85: 0.3. Hind basitarsus 0.25 × length of whole tarsus. First metasomal tergite longitudinally striate, basally with curved carinae that do not meet medially. 2 nd and 3 rd tergites largely coriaceous but with sculpture tending to form longitudinal parallel lines. 2 nd tergite with a very small mid-basal triangular area that is produced medially into a weak but distinct mid-longitudinal carina. Colour. Largely black; face, top of head, mesoscutum largely (except margins) red-brown; legs and palps yellowish; wings clear with pale brown venation. Male. Unknown. Biology. Unknown. Etymology. Named in honour of the delightfully inquisitorial Mr John Humphries, who during an interview with the junior author for the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme suggested it might be nice to have a species named after himself.Published as part of Quicke, Donald L.
