A comparison of the moss floras of Chile and New Zealand
No full textChile and New Zealand share a common stock of 181 species of mosses in 94 genera and 34 families. This number counts for 23.3% of the Chilean and 34.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. If only species with austral distribution are taken into account, the number is reduced to 113 species in common, which is 14.5% of the Chilean and 21.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. This correlation is interpreted in terms of long distance dispersal resp. the common phytogeographical background of both countries as parts of the palaoaustral floristic region and compared with disjunct moss floras of other continents as well as the presently available molecular data

Ungdommens byplan for Moss sentrum
No full textMasteroppgaven undersøker hvordan landskapsarkitekten kan utforme ungdommens byplan for Moss sentrum, med utgangspunkt i en medvirkningsprosess med tre skoleklasser ved Malakoff Videregående Skole. Gjennom prosesser og fysiske grep, vil vi utarbeide en byplan for Moss, med formål om å styrke sosial bærekraft for ungdom. For å danne et kunnskapsgrunnlag, sammenfattenfatter vi føringer og utfordringer som er aktuelle for ungdom i lokal stedsutvikling. Deretter gjennomfører vi en idédugnad tilpasset ungdom, og sammenfatter funnene med kartlegging av Moss' bystruktur. Basert på funnene fra idédugnaden med ungdommer fra Moss, utarbeider vi seks prinsipper for utvikling av sosiale møteplasser for og av ungdom. Med utgangspunkt i funn og prinsipper, utarbeider vi Ungdommens byplan i Moss, og viser mulighetsplaner for utforming av tre byrom. Dette med mål om å sørge for steder hvor ungdommen kan utforske, utfolde og uttrykke seg. Basert på utformingen av Ungdommens byplan i Moss, undersøker vi landskapsarkitektens rolle i medvirkningsprosesser med ungdom, med fokus på å sikre byliv for ungdom

IBM PC Data Acquisition and Processing Software Evaluation
No full textCommercially available software packages for IBM PC-compatibles are evaluated to use for data acquisition and processing work. Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) acquired computers since 1978 to use on shipboard data acquisition (Le. CTD, radiometric, etc.) and data processing. First Hewlett-Packard desktops were used then a transition to the DEC VAXstations, with software developed mostly by the author and others at MLML (Broenkow and Reaves, 1993; Feinholz and Broenkow, 1993; Broenkow et al, 1993). IBM PC were at first very slow and limited in available software, so they were not used in the early days. Improved technology such as higher speed microprocessors and a wide range of commercially available software made use of PC more reasonable today. MLML is making a transition towards using the PC for data acquisition and processing. Advantages are portability and available outside support

What happens when the youth of Moss become part of creating the plan for their own city?
The city plan is made through participation processes as well as physical interventions – both with the aim of strengthening social sustainability for the youth in Moss.
Existing guides and challenges related to youth in local urban development are summarized. The knowledge base frames the testing of participation exercises tailored to youth, and the findings are summarized with physical city analysis of Moss.
In collaboration with Moss municipality, an idea workshop with three high school classes at Malakoff VGS was held. The aim of the workshop was to get input to an ongoing project in the city center. Based on the findings from the workshop, six principles for the development of social meeting places for and by youth are presented.
The input from the youth served as the base in the development of the city plan with an emphasis on designing places where youth can explore, unfold and express themselves. The principles and physical interventions in accordance with the findings from the idea workshop is illustrated through scenario plans for three urban spaces in Moss.
Based on the making of the Youth’s Urban Plan of Moss, the role of the landscape architect in the participation process is explored. The importance of active participation is emphasized, and the results show that a landscape architect can serve as an important spokesperson for the youth in sustainable development and design of future cities.M-L
Hawking-Moss transition with a black hole seed
No full text\ua9 2020, The Author(s).We extend the concept of Hawking-Moss, or up-tunnelling, transitions in the early universe to include black hole seeds. The black hole greatly enhances the decay amplitude, however, order to have physically consistent results, we need to impose a new condition (automatically satisfied for the original Hawking-Moss instanton) that the cosmological horizon area should not increase during tunnelling. We motivate this conjecture physically in two ways. First, we look at the energetics of the process, using the formalism of extended black hole thermodynamics; secondly, we extend the stochastic inflationary formalism to include primordial black holes. Both of these methods give a physical substantiation of our conjecture
Resurrecting Dr. Moss the life and letters of a Royal Navy surgeon, Edward Lawton Moss MD, RN, 1843 - 1880
No full text"Resurrecting Dr. Moss chronicles the life and death of Edward Lawton Moss, a Royal Navy surgeon on the last great British north polar expedition of the nineteenth century. Arctic historians and bibliophiles are familiar with Moss's account of the1875-76 British Arctic Expedition, published under the title Shores of the Polar Sea, but little has been known about Moss himself. Now, thanks to Paul Appleton's painstaking research, his life has taken shape in this well-crafted biography." "Relying heavily on Moss's own letters, Appleton has created a portrait of a man he calls "an example of the best traditions of British naval medicine during the Victorian era." Author, artist, explorer, and scientist, Dr. Moss was also a pioneering medical officer. After being posted in British Columbia, he played a pivotal role in founding one of the earliest medical institutions on Canada's west coast, the hospital at the Esquimalt Naval Base. Dr. Moss's life was cut short at the age of thirty-seven when the HMS's Atalanta disappeared en route from Bermuda in 1880." "Resurrecting Dr. Moss includes several previously unpublished letters and is illustrated with a selection of Moss's watercolours."--BOOK JACKET
