Tides, surges and mean sea-level (reprinted with corrections)
No full textPrefaceMoving water has a special fascination, and the regular tidal movements of coastal seas must have challenged human imagination from earliest times. Indeed, the ancients who were able to link the regular movements of the sea to the movements of the sun and moon regarded tides as a tangible terrestrial manifestation of the powers of the celestial gods. For them the tides had religious significance; for us there are obviously many practical and scientific reasons for needing to know about and understand the dynamics of the oceans and coastal seas.Modern practical studies are concerned with problems of marine transport, coastal erosion and the design of coastal defences against flooding. Interest in mean sea-level changes has recently focused attention on the possibility of significant increases over the coming century as a result of global warming. Scientifically, in addition to their position as a branch, perhaps the oldest branch, of physical oceanography, tides have a controlling influence on many marine biological and geological processes. One of the fascinations of studying tides is the diversity of the applications.During the past two decades, mainly as a result of developments in instrument design and in the computer sciences, our understanding of tides and their related phenomena has made considerable advances. The aim of this book is to present modern tidal ideas to those who are not tidal specialists, but for whom some tidal knowledge is involved in their own professional or scientific field. These include hydrographers, marine and coastal engineers, geologists who specialize in beach or marine sedimentation processes, and biologists concerned with the ways in which living organisms adapt to the rhythms of the sea.Some of the material presented here was originally prepared for a course of lectures in Liverpool University to third-year Combined Honours students, whose academic backgrounds varied from pure mathematics to field geology. This range of previous scientific experience inevitably causes difficulties in determining the level of mathematical treatment which should be adopted. In this book I have tried to keep the mathematics as simple as is consistent with a proper physical explanation, while developing the non-mathematical discussions in an essentially independent yet parallel way. Sections which may be omitted by the non-mathematical reader are marked with an asterisk.Discussions of the engineering applications of tides are based on several years of experience giving advice to consultants and to Government Departments on behalf of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory at Bidston Observatory. Many of my colleagues on the staff of the Laboratory have given me advice and constructive criticism during the preparation. To them and to many other friends and associates I extend my grateful thanks. In particular, it is a pleasure to thank Graham Alcock, M. Amin, Trevor Baker, David Blackman, Peter Claridge, Hilary Faull, Roger Flather, Tony Heathershaw, John Howarth, Ian James, Kathy Jones, Trevor Norton, Lesley Rickards, Ralph Rayner, Alun Thomas, Phillip Williamson, and Philip Woodworth for helpful comments on earlier versions of the text. It is also a pleasure to acknowledge specific or general guidance during the development of my ideas from Duncan Carr Agnew, David Cartwright, Mike Collins, Keith Dyer, Norman Heaps, Chester Jelesnianski, Geoff Lennon, Nick McCave, Robin Pingree, John Simpson, Ian Vassie and Klaus Wyrtki. Finally, I am grateful to my family for tolerating and even encouraging this personal indulgence through the evenings and weekends of four long winters. Cirencester, June, 1987 DAVID PUG
D.T. Nettles Letter
No full textLetter from D.T. Nettles of Memphis, TN encouraging Virgil Blossom to stand against desegregation in Arkansas public schools.Mmephis 5, Tennessee,
January 24th, 1956.
Mr. Virgil Blossom,
Supt., of Education;
Little Rock, Ark.
Dear Sir;-
I and many others congratulate you on your highly stand
on segration like I saw in the Memphis Press Scimitar last even-
ing, by turning negroes away from white Schools. You have plenty
of backing of the American people, especially in the South. I am
glad as well as others I have talked with and it is very encoura-
ging to know that you and thousands of others are aware of the
menace that is confronting us in our way of life. We all know if
this menace is not curbed in its infancy it will grow into seri-
ous touble for God says let every thing be of its kind and of
its king. I am affraid God will destroy us all if we let the rac-
es mix like He has done in the past. We must let those in power
know we insist on segration no matter what the cost. I think all
States especially in the South should pattern after Mississippi
as they will not have segregation in that State and I hope others
will follow them. Keep up the good word and not let the Negro lov-
ing bunch take over our liberties of American freedon and our way
of life. Lets keep Whites awhite and Negroes Black like God made
us as it want do to mix the races like lots are trying to do.
I hope to read more about your stand to keep Negroes out
of our schools, i and thousands of Americans are with you 100%.

Memphis 5 Tenn.
Yours Very Sincerely,
[D.T. Needles, signature]
P.S.
Hurah; for Arkansas, I like it for I have lived in it around
20 or more years and I hope Negroes will not crowd us out
of our freedom in our Schools and public places. Note; Mississ-
ippi wil not have mixed Schools in that State, or in public
places. I just wanted to cleas what I said above as I get segra-
tion and desegration confused like so many others. I thank You
Qualidade do leite e práticas de ordenha de cooperativas do Planalto Norte Catarinense
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciências Agrárias. Curso de Zootecnia.Para se obter um leite de qualidade, o qual possa ser comercializado e apresente confiabilidade ao ser adquirido, é necessário que algumas práticas de ordenha sejam utilizadas. A qualidade do leite é verificada por meio de análises microbiológicas como a contagem bacteriana total (CBT) e a contagem de células somáticas (CCS), além de análises físico-químicas como o teor de proteína, gordura e lactose. O objetivo desde estudo foi relacionar as práticas de ordenha com a qualidade do leite e, assim, contribuir para o trabalho dos técnicos ligados a cadeia produtiva de produtos lácteos. O estudo foi realizado entre os meses de julho de 2012 e maio de 2013 em aproximadamente 64 pequenas propriedades produtoras de leite nas cidades de Major Vieira, Monte Castelo e Papanduva, pertencentes ao Planalto Norte Catarinense. As coletas de leite foram feitas em quatro ocasiões, sendo uma em cada estação do ano. As informações acerca da ordenha foram obtidas através de questionário semi-estruturado confeccionado para o presente trabalho. A análise de variância para comparação da qualidade do leite nas estações foram realizadas no pacote estatístico SAS para as variáveis CBT e CCS e a proteína, gordura, lactose e sólidos totais. A correlação entre as práticas de ordenha, obtidas pelo questionário e a qualidade do leite obtido pelo laudo foi feita pela análise de componentes principais (ACP) para verificar os fatores de manejo que mais influenciam na qualidade do leite. As estações do ano tiveram influência na qualidade físico-química e microbiológica do leite produzido no Planalto Norte Catarinense. As práticas de ordenha são de suma importância para a qualidade do leite, especialmente o uso de testes para detecção da mastite, caneca e CMT bem como as práticas de pré e pós dipping. O uso de tanque de expansão pode diminuir os valores CBT
Eastern Iran in the Achaemenid Period
No full textThe author deals with the archaeological evidence of the Achaemenid period in eastern Iran. This evidence is limited, rare and contradictory with regard to the historical importance of the eastern provinces of the Empire. The territorial extent of the Achaemenid Empire is ambiguous too and in this regard the cultural background of the different provinces, as well as relationships between center and periphery, were crucial factors affecting the visibility of the Achaemenid empire in its eastern-most regions. Similarly, the geographic definition of ‘eastern Iran’ requires clarification as well because, as a geomorphological unit. Thus at least four different aspects of interpretation should be considered when considering the evidence of the Achaemenid empire in the east:
1. the dynastic - identifiable by inscriptions, coins and seals
2. the ethnic - possibly detectable on both physical anthropological and cultural grounds
3. the political/imperial - recognizable both in macroscopic architectural and art historical remains and in the material traces of settlement patterns and economic investments, e.g. to secure the water supply
4. the chronological - interpretable in the differing horizons connected to the period of Achaemenid political-dynastic dominion in the area

PHYSIOLOGIC SELECTIVITY OF PESTICIDES USED ON COFFEE PLANTATIONS ON EGGS AND ADULTS OF CRYPTOLAEMUS MONTROUZIERI MULSANT
No full textOn coffee plantations, the association between selective compounds and natural enemies composes an important tool for the pest management. The objective of this study was to evaluate some pesticides used on coffee plantations in regard to their lethal and sublethal effects on eggs and adults of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant under laboratory conditions. The bioassays were carried out in the Laboratory of Selectivity Studies, Department of Entomology of the Universidade Federal de Lavras – UFLA, Brazil, under controlled conditions (climatic chamber) at 25 ± 2º C, RH of 70 ± 10% with a 12 h photophase. The pesticides and doses in g or mL of i.a. L-1 were: thiamethoxam (0.5), imidacloprid (0.7), mineral oil (13.3), endosulfan (2.63) and dimethoate (0.48). Distilled water was used as a control. The sprayings of the pesticides were accomplished using a Potter’s tower. The parameters evaluated were: specimen survival after the application of the compounds, oviposition and eggs viability. Thiamethoxam, imidacloprid and endosulfan were the most harmful to the treated individuals. When sprayed on eggs, thiamethoxam increased the embryonic period length (7.1 days). Mineral oil was the only compound that did not affect the reproduction of C. montrouzieri. In function of the selectivity presented by mineral oil, it can be recommended to be used in integrated pest management on coffee plantations in association with this predator.Em cafeeiros, a associação de inimigos naturais com produtos fitossanitários seletivos é uma importante estratégia no manejo de pragas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos letais e subletais de produtos fitossanitários utilizados na cultura cafeeira sobre ovos e adultos de Cryptolaemus montrouzieriMulsant em laboratório. Os bioensaios foram realizados sob 25 ± 2º C, UR de 70 ± 10% e fotofase de 12h. Os inseticidas utilizados e suas respectivas dosagens de aplicação, em g ou mL de i.a. L-1 foram: tiametoxam (0,5), imidacloprido (0,7), óleo mineral (13,3), endossulfam (2,63) e dimetoato (0,48). A testemunha foi composta apenas por água destilada. A aplicação dos produtos foi realizada por meio de torre de Potter. Avaliaram-se a viabilidade de ovos, a sobrevivência dos espécimes e os efeitos dos compostos sobre os parâmetros reprodutivos do predador. Tiametoxam provocou prolongamento na duração do período embrionário (7,1 dias) em ovos tratados e junto com imidacloprido foram classificados como nocivos, seguidos do endossulfam e dimetoato que apresentaram toxicidade intermediária e do óleo mineral que foi seletivo. Em função da seletividade do óleo mineral, pode-se recomendá-lo visando à compatibilização com o predador C. montrouzieri em programas de manejo integrado de pragas na cultura cafeeira.Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Sul de Minas GeraisUniversidade Federal de Lavras, Departamento de EntomologiaUniversidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Departamento de BiologiaUniversidade Estadual Paulista, Faculdade de Ciências AgronômicasUniversidade José do Rosário VellanoUniversidade Estadual Paulista, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômica
Landscape design methods in architecture
No full textLandscape has been used as a metaphor or conceptual reference for an increasing amount of excellent architectural projects in the last two decades. The phenomenon seems to be a substantial innovation of architecture with an interesting potential for artistic, social and ecological gains. To be able to better understand and critically review these projects, it is important to better understand the notion of landscape. How can we better understand the idea of landscape and its design methods for application in architecture? To answer this central question we try to find a working definition of relevant landscape design methods in this paper. Only thereafter may we ask how these landscape methods are applied to the theory and practice of architecture, and what knowledge can be derived from built examples for future practical and theoretical use in the field. This paper is part of the larger study ‘Architecture with Landscape Methods’ with more case studies. This paper however is mainly based on literature study. Currently the author is analyzing four crucial projects from 1990-present in CAD and GIS based analytical case studies. One or two of these cases will illustrate the subject to the audience in the author's poster presentation at IFLA2012.UrbanismArchitectur
