Jacqueline Barnitz: 40 Years of Publications
No full textJacqueline Barnitz: 40 Years of Publications
Jacqueline Barnitz is responsible for establishing modern Latin American art as an area of concentration
within art history at the University of Texas at Austin, where she has taught now for 25 years. She's a
major reason why UT Austin is known as the best place in the nation for studying modern Latin American
art. A notable record of publication accompanies her career as a distinguished educator. In fact, her
interest in Latin American art goes back to her tenure as an art critic in New York for the periodicals Art
Voices (1964-1965) and Arts Magazine (1964-1975). Additionally, she's been the curator of numerous art
exhibitions and, subsequently, the author of many exhibition catalogs. In 2000 UT Press published her
much-anticipated and seminal book Twentieth-Century Art of Latin America, which quickly became the
textbook on the subject. We present this display of selected publications as a tribute to her outstanding
contributions to the university and to the field of art history.UT Librarie
First person – Jacqueline Weidner
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open (BiO), helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Jacqueline Weidner is first author on ‘Hormones as adaptive control systems in juvenile fish’, published in BiO. Jacqueline conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student at the University of Bergen, Norway. She is now an assistant professor at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway, investigating sexual selection and modelling of evolutionary patterns
Hofmann Forest Site Quality Modeling and Estimation
No full textAn evaluation of site quality was conducted on the Hofmann Forest located in Jones and Onslow Counties of North Carolina. Site quality is a key element in the plan for management to reach its objectives. Accurately measuring site quality can determine the optimal locations for intensively managed plantations and the areas that may be better managed for other purposes. The identification of these areas will allow management to maximize the returns from the forest regardless of the objectives. There are a number of methods available for measuring site quality that includes both direct and indirect methods. The standard method among foresters in the United States is the direct method of the site index approach. The most common indirect method is the soil-site study. The objectives of this research are to examine these two procedures for their reliability and accuracy in determining the site quality on the Hofmann Forest.The foundation that the site index approach is built upon is the theory that tree height growth in relation to age is very sensitive to site quality but is independent of various factors; i.e. stocking density, species compositions, etc (Avery and Burkhart, 1994). Therefore if height growth is not independent of these factors then the site index approach will provide erroneous predictions. The current measure of site quality on the Hofmann Forest was provided by a soil-site study performed by T. S. Coile in 1966. A recent timber inventory of the forest provides a means of testing the accuracy of these measures. An intensive database was constructed from the timber inventory collected by F & W Services, Inc., the soil mapping performed by T. S. Coile, and previous climatic and environmental data for the forest. To achieve the objectives of this research the data was used to develop a non-linear model containing three categories or groups of variables. These categories include variables representing management decisions, soil characteristics, and environmental factors. The model produced an R-squared value of 0.62 with a p-value of <0.0001. A correlation analysis of the height predictions and the actual heights collected in the timber inventory produced a correlation coefficient of 0.79. Nested structural tests found management decisions very significant in influencing height growth. Soil characteristics and precipitation were not significant individually but were when used in conjunction with each other. A correlation analysis was performed on the model predictions and the previous predictions found in Coile's soil-site study, which produced a correlation coefficient of 0.06. Also, the correlation of Coile's predictions and the actual tree heights was 0.22. A forest wide average height at a base age of 25 years was predicted at 10.94 feet lower than that found by Coile
Jacqueline Risset. Scritture dell’istante
No full text“Born on 25th May 1936. Two specific desires: not to become an adult, and to write”. Jacqueline Risset (1936-2014) was a translator from French (Ponge, Sollers, the Tel Quel poets) and Italian (Dante, Machiavelli, Balestrini), as well as a well-known scholar for her work on Scève, Proust and Bataille. The aim of this volume is to analyse Risset’s poetic work, from the beginnings with textual writing in the experimentalism of Tel Quel, through a trajectory that, crossing Dante and Stilnovism through the translation of the Divine Comedy, led the author to the elaboration of a poetics centred on “privileged instants” that open “to the elsewhere”
