No full textThe article proposes a reflection based on different literary works from science fiction, to establish an analysis focused on the tension between the biotechnological field and human subjectivity. Focusing on two works by James Graham Ballard, the iconic short story collection Vermilion Sands and his novel Crash, the author presents an intertext with film and literature. Based on a dialogue with the filmic version of Crash, directed in 1996 by David Cronenberg, and with the critical work of Donna Haraway, she introduces a hypothesis related to both the dimension of corporality and gender aspects in fictional narratives.El artículo propone una reflexión a partir de distintas obras literarias provenientes de la ciencia ficción, para establecer un análisis centrado en la tensión entre el campo biotecnológico y la subjetividad humana.

Aerial Assessment of the Riparian Areas of the Vermilion River AB, and its Major Tributaries
No full textGolder Associates Ltd. (Golder) was contracted by the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance (NSWA) to complete an Aerial Assessment of Riparian Areas of the Vermilion River, AB and its Major Tributaries. The focus of the assessment is five-fold, including: 1) Delineation of lotic riparian areas and floodplains of the Vermilion River and riparian areas of its major tributaries. 2) Assess the condition of all riparian areas in the watershed using a rapid method or methods. 3) Identify intact areas for conservation and/or protection. 4) Identify degraded areas for restoration. 5) Prioritize degraded areas for restoration.

Reproductive seasonality, maturation, fecundity, and spawning frequency of the vermilion snapper, Rhomboplites aurorubens, off the southeastern United States
No full textVermilion snapper, Rhomboplites aurorubens, is an important species in headboat and commercial reef fisheries in the southeastern United States, especially in the Carolinas.
The reproductive biology of vermilion snapper was determined from samples collected on biweekly research cruises (April to August 1992 and May 1993) and from samples collected from commercial vessels (September to April 1992-93). Vermilion snapper did not exhibit a 1:1 sex ratio; 63% of the specimens were female. The reproductive
season of vermilion snapper is April through late September in the southeastern
United States. All vermilion snapper examined were mature, with the smallest female at 165 mm FL, the smallest male at 179mm FL. The smallest fish aged (165 mmFL) was two years old. Length was the best predictor of batch fecundity lBF=O.0438FL2.5081. Vermilion snapper spawn approximately every five days or about 35 times a year.
Atresia did not significantly affect fecundity estimates. Vermilion snapper is an indeterminate spawner; its oocytes mature continuously during the spawning season and there is no hiatus between the size distribution of the oocyte classes. Total fecundity did not decline over the spawning season. Rather, it gradually increased through August and then declined in September. Mean oocyte diameter stayed constant
over the reproductive season. The order of spawning batches was not consistent
with the determinate fecundity prediction

The Considerations on the Numbered Vermilion Color of the "Shoho Shiro Ezu" (the Maps of Castle and Castle Tawn Compiled by the Order of the Tokugawa Shogunate, 1644)
No full textThe compilation of the "Shoho Shiro Ezu" which is presented against Tokugawa Shogunate ended Meireki ages(1656). In the presented after, this "Shoho Shiro Ezu" are numbered the Japanese numeral of vermilion color on the front map. In the present state, the "Shoho Shiro Ezu" scattered more than half the numbers from the "Momijiyama bunko" (the Tokugawa Shougunate library, in the Edo castle). In this paper, the author described, from the side of the numbered vermilion color, about characteristics of the "Shoho Shiro Ezu"
Separating two painting campaigns in Saul and David, attributed to Rembrandt, using macroscale reflectance and XRF imaging spectroscopies and microscale paint analysis
No full textLate paintings of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) offer intriguing problems for both art historians and conservation scientists. In the research presented here, the key question addressed is whether observed stylistic differences in paint handling can be correlated with material differences. In Saul and David, in the collection of the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis in The Hague, NL, the stylistic differences between the loose brushwork of Saul’s cloak and the more detailed depiction of his turban and the figure of David have been associated with at least two painting stages since the late 1960s, but the attribution of each stage has been debated in the art historical literature. Stylistic evaluation of the paint handling in the two stages, based on magnified surface examination, is further described here. One of the research goals was to determine whether the stylistic differences could be further differentiated with macroscale and microscale methods of material analysis. To address this, selected areas of the painting having pronounced stylistic differences were investigated with two macroscopic chemical imaging methods, X-ray fluorescence and reflectance imaging spectroscopies. The pigments used were identified and their spatial distribution was mapped. The mapping results show that the passages rendered in more detail and associated stylistically with the first painting stage, such as the orange-red color of David’s garment or the Greek key design in Saul’s turban, were painted with predominately red ochre mixed with vermilion. The regions of loose, bold brushwork, such as the orange-red slashing strokes in the interior of Saul’s cloak, associated with the second painting stage, were painted with predominately red ochre without vermilion. These macroscale imaging results were confirmed and extended with scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) analysis of three cross-sections taken from regions of stylistic differences associated with the two painting stages, including one sample each from the right and left sleeve of David, and one from the interior of Saul’s cloak. SEM–EDX also identified a trace component, barium sulfate, associated with the red ochre of the second stage revisions. Combining mapping information from two spectroscopic imaging methods with localized information from microscopic samples has clearly shown that the stylistic differences observed in the paint handling are affiliated with differences in the chemical composition of the paints.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].(OLD) MSE-
