Datation par thermoluminescence : contribution du CRIAA à une expérience internationale de mesure de dose annuelle béta
No full textDr. E.H. Haskell (see note 1) took the initiative for an international program of intercomparison of beta annual dose measurements involving 8 TL-dating laboratories during 1982 and 1983. For this experiment, 10 samples of bricks were dispatched to the participating laboratories. Firstly, the methods used in CRIAA laboratory (Bordeaux) are described : X-ray fluorescence, flame emission, plasma emission, neutronic activation analysis. Secondly the results from all the laboratories are discussed. These results are generally in good agreement (relative standard deviation in the range 3 to 8 %). The most significant discrepancies appear for high potassium containing samples. We note that TL dosimetry gives higher values than those obtained from the other methods used. The meaning of these observations is discussed.A l'initiative de Dr. E.H. Haskell (voir note 1), 8 laboratoires de datation par thermoluminescence ont participé à un programme international d'intercomparaison de méthodes de mesure de dose annuelle béta, en 1982 et 1983. Pour cette expérience, 10 échantillons de brique ont été distribués aux laboratoires participants. Après avoir explicité nos propres modes de mesure (fluorescence X, spectrométrie d'émission de flamme, spectrométrie d'émission de plasma, analyse par activation neutronique), nous analysons les résultats publiés par l'ensemble des laboratoires. L'accord entre les mesures est en général satisfaisant (de 3 à 8 % de dispersion relative selon les échantillons) ; les écarts les plus significatifs apparaissent pour les échantillons riches en potassium, la dosimétrie par TL tendant à fournir des valeurs plus élevées que les autres modes de mesure pour cette expérience. Nous discutons de la signification de ces observations.Guibert P., Schvoerer Max, Denagbe Samuel.

“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 30Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente
Writing and the rights of reality: usurpation and potentiality in Derrida, Plato, Nietzsche, and Beckett
No full textThe thesis critically evaluates Jacques Derrida's conferral of the rights of reality on writing, focussing on his theory of an arche-text in light of the speculative nature of this theory. The theory is initially considered in the context of Derrida's elucidation of the usurpatory status of writing within the Platonic and Nietzschean texts. This consideration reveals an admission of writing's usurpatory status by both writers while at the same time demonstrating their awareness of the intrinsically speculative nature of this view, the significance of writing lying in its ability to exteriorise the radically indeterminate status of consciousness m relation to reality rather than its ability to displace consciousness or reality The analyses, therefore, not only bring the Derridean hypothesis of a repressive or phonocentric metaphysical episteme into question but also exhibit the historical and philosophical role of potentiality in relation to writing, writing's ultimate significance lying in its capacity to exteriorise our existence as a mode of potentiality. Accordingly, in the second half of the thesis the Derridean theory of writing is countered with a specifically Aristotelian theory of the text as it is exhibited in the prose of Samuel Beckett, an author whose significance lies in his close alignment with Derridean theory within contemporary criticism. It is demonstrated that this identification has obviated an awareness of the significance of potentiality within the Beckettian text, his work consequently being appraised in the previously neglected context of Aristotelian metaphysics
Letter to Mr. Drazin, President of Jersey Homesteads, from Samuel Niznevitz, Chairman of the Wage Planning Committee
No full textThe federal government created Jersey Homesteads as part of a New Deal initiative. It was unique because it was the only community planned as an agro-industrial cooperative that included a farm, a factory, and retail stores, specifically established for urban Jewish workers. This document is a letter to Mr. Drazin, President of the Industrial Committee of Jersey Homesteads, from Samuel Nisnevitz, Chairman of the Wage Planning Committee. This December 18, 1938, letter is in reference to a previous letter written by Mr. Drasin on September 23, 1938, to the Board of Directors of the Consumers Wholesale Clothers, Inc. This December letter describes the recent meeting in which employed factory workers discussed a plan to simultaneously earn a living and give the factory management an opportunity to obtain business in the open market. Reasonable working wages were discussed as well. The letter also includes the wages that these workers agreed upon
