[Letter from Bonilla, Read, Nutto & Bonilla, Inc. to John J. Herrera with enclosures, June 6, 1977]
No full textLetter from Bonilla, Read, Nutto & Bonilla, Inc. to John J. Herrera is dated June 16, 1977. The letter refers to enclosures regarding the bankruptcy case against Joe S. A. Velez. The encloses consist of a Notice of Levy against League of United Latin American Citizens, copies of three articles about LULAC's boycott of Coors, and an order for the first meeting of creditors in Velez's bankruptcy case
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Holocene fluvial geomorphology of the River Exe (UK) from archaeological and historical data and implications for urban form
No full textArchaeological and historical traces of the changing location and character of the channels of the River Exe are visible in many parts of the city of Exeter and the lower reaches of the Exe valley. Records of archaeological sites in the Exeter area investigated by Exeter Archaeology were interrogated to select sites with dated channel bases in order to measure and date channel change during the Middle and Late Holocene. This was combined with a series of historical maps of the city which recorded both the location of river channels and morphological changes caused by human utilization of the river over the last 426 years. The combined data reveal that the river has had a long Holocene history of avulsion and channel switching reoccupying former channels (two main channels) and confinement of the channels to form leats with eventual channel infilling by urban development. The location of the city, as the lowest bridging point in the Roman period, and the tidal influence below a pronounced bedrock step is important both geomorphologically and historically. The typical tendency of the river to anabranch in this reach structured early urban development and was responsible for the construction of a large multi-arch bridge much of which still exists today. The location of islands was, as with many other European cities, taken full advantage of through the construction of mills for a variety of agricultural and industrial purposes. Thus fluvial geomorphology facilitated the spatial separation of different proto-urban and industrial functions within growing urban settlements in the Mediaeval Perio
RRS Discovery Cruise 351, 10-28 May 2010. The Extended Ellett Line 2010.
No full textThe Extended Ellett Line is a full-depth hydrographic section between Iceland, 60°N 20°W, Rockall and Scotland. The original Ellett Line across the Rockall Trough was first occupied in 1975 when measurements were attempted four times a year. In 1996 the line was extended to Iceland and occupied approximately annually. The data form a 35 year time-series of the oceanic conditions west of the British Isles.The section monitors the characteristics of the warm water inflow into the Nordic Seas and thence to the Arctic, and observes part of the returning cold water outflow with measurements of the Iceland-Scotland Overflow and the overflow of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge into the Rockall Trough.The 2010 occupation, RRS Discovery Cruise 351, was completed successfully with 48 CTD stations worked between the Iceland and Scotland shelf edges. Additionally, Line G, part of the SAMS observation network of the Scottish continental shelf was completed. Samples were taken for inorganic nutrients, iron and trace metals, bioluminescence and microscope analysis. Incubation experiments were performed to investigate the role of microzooplankton grazing and the speciation of iron, and to investigate the presence of dinoflagellate bioluminescence.In addition to the planned programme, sampling took place to investigate the extent of the fall out from the ash plume emitted by the Iceland volcano, Ejyafjallajokull, and its impact on the biogeochemistry and productivity of the upper ocean.A trial tow of SeaSoar and a short survey of the upper ocean over the Anton Dohrn seamount were successfully completed
The information sources and journals consulted or read by UK paediatricians to inform their clinical practice and those which they consider important: a questionnaire survey
No full textBackground: Implementation of health research findings is important for medicine to be
evidence-based. Previous studies have found variation in the information sources thought to be of greatest importance to clinicians but publication in peer-reviewed journals is the traditional route for dissemination of research findings. There is debate about whether the impact made on clinicians should be considered as part of the evaluation of research outputs. We aimed to determine first which information sources are generally most consulted by paediatricians to inform their clinical practice, and which sources they considered most important, and second, how many and which peer-reviewed journals they read.
Methods: We enquired, by questionnaire survey, about the information sources and academic
journals that UK medical paediatric specialists generally consulted, attended or read and
considered important to their clinical practice.
Results: The same three information sources – professional meetings & conferences, peerreviewed
journals and medical colleagues – were, overall, the most consulted or attended and ranked the most important. No one information source was found to be of greatest importance to all groups of paediatricians. Journals were widely read by all groups, but the proportion ranking them first in importance as an information source ranged from 10% to 46%. The number of journals read varied between the groups, but Archives of Disease in Childhood and BMJ were the most read
journals in all groups. Six out of the seven journals previously identified as containing best paediatric evidence are the most widely read overall by UK paediatricians, however, only the two most prominent are widely read by those based in the community.
Conclusion: No one information source is dominant, therefore a variety of approaches to
Continuing Professional Development and the dissemination of research findings to paediatricians should be used. Journals are an important information source. A small number of key ones can be identified and such analysis could provide valuable additional input into the evaluation of clinical research outputs
