Sedimentological analysis of an urban soil sequence from Corfe Castle, Dorset. A history of land use and anthropogenic activity
No full textThe combination of traditional archaeological test pit excavation and detailed scientific analysis of an urban soil sequence from Corfe Castle has enabled a detailed history of land use and anthropogenic activity to be uncovered. Artefactual evidence indicates a chronology of land use and activity which extends from the medieval period to the present day. The 0.80m deep soil record shows evidence for possible cultivation of an in situ clay rich soil from the 1200s, with some anthropogenic amendment. More intensive manuring occurred between c.1200–1500 evidenced by an increased soil depth, fertility and drainage and the formation of distinctive hortisol deposits. The greatest phase of anthropogenic amendment occurred in the post medieval (1500–1750) and modern periods (1750–1950) when archaeological, scientific and historic information indicate the greatest deposition of organic and inorganic manuring material associated with increased cultivation, most recently in smaller subdivided garden enclosures each with on-site occupation. The results of this research highlight the potential contribution that scientific analysis of soil sequences can provide towards understanding of historic land use, occupation and human activity across the urban extent of historic settlement areas such as Corfe Castle and the importance of utilising appropriate multidisciplinary processes to discern the nuanced history of such locations
Autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper speaks at the Michigan Writers Series
No full textIn an appearance at the Michigan State University Main Library, autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper talks about his career at the General Motors Truck and Bus Plant in Flint, Michigan and reads from various works, including his forward to the book "Working words: punching the clock and kicking out the jams" by M. L. Liebler and from his most famous work, "Rivethead", a cynical and humorous view of life in an auto plant. A question and answer session follows. Hamper is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series
Martin Loughlin, Public Law and Political Theory
No full textIn this chapter, Ben Yong discusses Martin Loughlin’s Public Law and Political Theory. Drawing in part on conversation with the author, Yong explores the significance of a book that, despite interrogating the nature of public law as a discipline in a novel and methodologically important way, is often poorly understood

Chill unit models for blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) cultivars 'Ben Gairn', 'Ben Hope' and 'Ben Tirran'
No full textTemperate-zone crops require a period of winter chilling to terminate dormancy and ensure adequate bud break the following spring. The exact chilling requirement of blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), a commercially important crop in northern Europe, is relatively unknown. Chill unit models have been successfully utilized to determine the optimum chilling temperature of a range of crops, with one chill unit equating to I h exposure to the optimum temperature for chill satisfaction. Two-year-old R. nigrum plants of the cultivars 'Ben Gairn', 'Ben Hope' and 'Ben Tirran' were exposed to temperatures of -10.1 degrees C. -3.4 degrees C. 0.1 degrees C, 1.5 degrees C, 2.1 degrees C, 3.4 degrees C or 8.9 degrees C (+/- 0.7 degrees C) for durations of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 weeks and multiple regression analyses used to determine the optimum temperature for chill satisfaction.
