Op welke wyse word die waarheid gelieg? Die kortverhale van T.T. Cloete
No full textTruthful lying in T.T. Cloete’s short stories
In this article an attempt is made to characterize the short stories of T.T. Cloete in Die waarheid gelieg. The theory of focalization is examined briefly and a definition of focalization which emphasizes the epistemological aspects ofperspective and formulation is used to examine the stories. The stories are compared to stories of Kafka and Borges indicating the resemblances, especially the fascination with the unexpected and weird contradictions in reality, as well as the differences. An intratextual reading of the stories and poems by the same author is undertaken in an attempt to formulate the epistemic position of the focalization in the texts. The article concludes that the Christian worldview as well as a poetics of nomenliterature of the abstract author can be deduced from the stories on account of the assumption that epistemic stances are reflected in the narrative representation and can be communicated to readers by means of propositional attitudes
Džuzeppe Verdi i ital’janskaja muzykal’naja tradicija v opere L.A. Desjatnikova Deti Rozentalja
No full textВ статье рассматривается проблема итальянской традиции в постмодернистской опере Леонида Десятникова «Дети Розенталя», основанной на сюжете романа Владимира Сорокина «Голубое сало» и поставленной в 2005 г. на сцене Большого театра. Автор анализирует музыкальное изображение композитора Джузеппе Верди с целью освещения ракурса рецепции итальянской оперы в России. В статье также рассматриваются цитаты в опере из вагнеровских драм «Парсифаль» и «Лоэнгрин», из оперы Мусоргского «Борис Годунов», а также из шедевра Чайковского «Евгений Онегин».The article examines the problem of the Italian tradition in the postmodern opera “Children of Rosenthal” by Leonid Desyatnikov based on the plot of the novel “Blue Lard” by Vladimir Sorokin and staged in 2005 at the Bolshoi theatre. The author analyzes the musical image of the composer Giuseppe Verdi in order to highlight the angle of the reception of Italian opera in Russia. Quotations in the opera from Wagner’s dramas “Parsifal” and “Lohengrin”, from Mussorgsky’s opera “Boris Godunov”, as well as from Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece “Eugene Onegin” are considered in the article
Outobiografie in en om die teks met spesiale verwysing na die poësie van T.T. Cloete
No full textThesis (MA (Afrikaans en Nederlands))--PU vir CHO, 1996This study investigates the character, manifestation and function of autobiographical codes in poetry and specifically in the poetry of T.T. Cloete. Method A distinction is made between a poem with autobiographical codes and an autobiographical poem. Although autobiographical codes are used in both, the autobiographical contract is clearly manifested in the autobiographical poem with the result that the poet becomes more than a mere intertext - the poet also becomes the text. The autobiographical information then not only broadens the written text, but also assists in exposing the poet himself. The theory of autobiography is used to explicate this distinction as well as to indicate how the autobiographical poem is accommodated within the genre. Concerning the poem with autobiographical codes, this study is based on a systems theory approach which pays special attention to the importance of codes in the creation of meaning and comprehensibility. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the role of intertextuality during decoding – especially on the author or poet as intertext. In this instance the poetry of T.T. Cloete, rich with autobiographical reference, is interpreted according to the theoretical conclusions drawn. Conclusion Through the investigation of autobiographical codes in poetry, this study proves that there is a remarkable distinction between an autobiographical poem and a poem with autobiographical codes. This distinction directs the reader towards the most suitable theoretical substructure and act as guidelines for a reading strategy. The identification and use of autobiographical codes in the poetry of T.T. Cloete - with regard to the distinctions mentioned above - broaden the analysis and interpretation of the poems on a cognitive as well as an emotive level.Master
Abundance, Survival And Growth Of Ipomoea Pes-caprae (l.) R. Br. (convolvulaceae) Seedlings On Santa Catarina Island, Santa Catarina State, Brazil [abundância, Sobrevivência E Crescimento De Plântulas De Ipomoea Pes-caprae (l.) R. Br. (convolvulaceae) Na Ilha De Santa Catarina, Sc, Brasil]
No full textSeedlings of Ipomoea pes-caprae occurred on nine of the beaches studied (n = 10) at Santa Catarina Island, (State of Santa Catarina) and in 21 monitored patches (n = 30); it did not occur at the smallest beach. Seedling densities varied from 0 to 5.2 m2, and these differences are in part explained by viable seed bank densities. Seedling survival was low (0.6%) considering the 2823 plants monitored over three years. The main causes of death were wave erosion and burial. No seedlings survived at the beach zone (n = 2684). Seedlings survived in the fore dune, in patches of Ipomoea pes-caprae (0.8%, n = 119), in recolonization areas where Ipomoea pes-caprae was partially removed (80.0%, n = 20) and in recent dune areas, which were reconstructed after intense wave erosion (four seedlings observed). Seedling growth was greatest at the latter. Experiments showed that one-month-old seedlings did not tolerate burial in 10 cm of sand. When buried by 5 cm of sand, 50.0% of the seedlings survived, but these had fewer leaves, lower biomass and lower allocation to root and shoot development. All established seedlings of Ipomoea pes-caprae were recruited in a period without wave erosion; habitat stability was a key factor in Ipomoea pes-caprae regeneration.204875885Abreu de Castilhos, J. & Gré, J.C.R. 1997.

(13(2):27-38)溫度對於浸水土壤中氮素以氣態損失之影響
No full textExperiments have been carried out in order to investigate the influences of temperature on gaseous loss of nitrogen and on changes in contents of ammonium and nitrate-nitrogen in some soils of Taiwan under flooded conditions. The soils used in the experiments are Taipei silt loam, Yilan silty clay loam, Pinchen loam, Yuanlin clay loam, Hsinying clay loam and Pintung silty clay loam. The soils are incubated at various temperatures under flooding conditions after adding ainmonium-nitrogen, and analyzed for nitrogen of various forms. The decrease of total nitrogen is regarded as the amount of gaseous loss of nitrogen. The following results are obtained:
(1) In temperature range of 10°-30°C., gaseous loss of nitrogen, probably due to successive processes of nitrification and denitrification, increases with tem-perature. The soils lose 4-10% of total nitrogen including applied ammonium-nitrogen at 10°C. in 2 months, 11-16% at 20°C. and 16-20% at 30°C. excepting in Pinchen loam, in which the loss is less than 3% regardless of temperature.
(2) The amount of nitrogen loss is larger in Yuan silty clay loam, Yuanlin clay loam, and Pintung silty clay loam that have high pH-values than in Taipei silt loam having a low pH-value. Pinchen loam which is a strongly acidic soil loses the least amount of nitrogen among the soils investigated. Liming acidic soils to a neutral pH-value increases the amount of nitrogen loss very significantly. These results suggest the remarkable influence of pH-value of soil on gaseous loss of nitrogen. Although Hsinying clay loam is a neutral soil, the amount of nitrogen loss is smaller in it than in other neutral soils probably because of its low contents of total nitrogen and organic matter.
(3) Gaseous loss of nitrogen is active in early period of flooding.
(4) Significant difference cannot be found between the amounts of nitrogen loss in the 1st and the 2nd crop seasons of paddy rice. But the loss is less in winter months than in both crop seasons.
(5) The content of ammonium-nitrogen in flooded soil supplied with ammonium sulfate decreases rapidly when the soil is neutral. The decrease must be due to the process of nitrification, which may take place in surface layer of flooded soil immediately after flooding if conditions are favorable. The content of ammonium-nitrogen in Taipei silt loam decreases at 30℃., but it keeps a practically constant high level at 10° and 20°C. Liming acidic soil promotes the decrease in content of ammonium-nitrogen.
(6) The rate of decrease in content of ammonium-nitrogen in the flooded soils is about the same at 10O and 20°C. but it becomes rapid at 30°C.
(7) Nitrate-nitrogen does not accumulate very much in flooded soils excepting in Yilan silty clay loam and Pintung silty clay loam flooded for 6 or 7 weeks.
The experiment presented above was carried out as a part of the project “The causes of low yield of rice in tropical and subtropical regions.”, which was sup-ported by Rockefeller Foundation and sponsored by Dr. Shoei-Chyuan Hsu, Director, Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute. The author is grateful for the support and the valuable advices to the foundation and Dr. Hsu.
為研討溫度對於浸水土壤中以氣態損失之氮素量及其中銨態氮，硝酸態氮含量變化之影響，取臺北坋質壤土、宜蘭坋質粘壤土、平鎮壤土、員林粘壤土、新營粘壤土及屏東坋質粘壤土，加入硫酸銨，浸水後，在不同溫度之下保溫2~4個月，定量土壤中全氮量並求出其損失量。又於浸水土壤中加入硫酸銨，在10O , 20O 及 30℃之下保溫9週，每週定量銨態氮及硝酸態氮，就此兩種形態之氮素含量變化予以觀察。所得結果如下：
1. 在10O~30℃之溫度範圍內，以氣態損失之氮素量隨溫度之上昇而增多。此損失之原因可能為硝化作用及硝酸還原作用。浸水2個月時，氮素損失量對於全氮量之百分比，在10℃之下為4~10%，在 20℃之下為11~16%，在30℃之下為16~20%。平鎮壤土中，氮素損失量較少，在10O~30℃之下為全壤量之3%以下。
2. 宜蘭坋質粘壤土，員林粘壤土及屏東坋質粘壤土等中性土壤中，氮素損失量較酸性土壤為多。平鎮壤土中損失量最少。酸性土壤中加入石灰時，其損失量增加甚多。此顯示土壤pH值對於氮素之損失有密接關係。新營粘壤土雖為中性土壤，因其全氮及有機物含量均低，氮素損失量較少。3. 浸水期間中損失之氮素量，大部份係在浸水初期消失。
4. 水稻第一期作及第二期作期間中，氮素損失量之差異不顯著，但在冬季中其損失量較少。
5. 中性土壤中施用硫酸銨後浸水時，其銨態氮含量迅速減低。此減低原因可能為硝化作用。在臺北坋質壤土中銨態氮含量，在30℃之下降低，但在10O及20O之下，其含量不減低而保持大約一定之數值，酸性土壤中施用石灰時，銨態氮含量加速降低。
6. 浸水土壤中銨態氮含量減低之速度，在10O及20O之下大約相同，在30℃之下其減少迅速。
7. 浸水土壤中硝酸態氮之蓄積量通甚少，但在宜蘭坋質粘攘土及屏東坋質粘壤土中，浸水數週後其蓄積量相當多

T.T. Cloete as literary critic, theorist and literary historian (Part 2): T.T. Cloete as theorist of literary history
No full textIt had already been stated that Siegfried Schmidt (in Hjort 1992) discerned four ‘roles’ within the Literary System, that of literary production, dissemination, reception and literary processing. According to this definition, T.T. Cloete, the well-known author and critic, had played all of these roles. In this second part of a two-part article the focus is on Cloete as a literary historian and in particular on his theoretical (methodological) perceptions pertaining to literary history. It is abundantly clear that in all of his different roles a historical awareness was always present. For Cloete the literary work of art was inbedded in a historical timeframe which imposed hermeneutical imperatives on the critic; on the other hand the literary work of art is present in the here and now and accessible to any skilled reader. One of the objectives of this study is to argue that there was thus an implied dichotomy in Cloete’s thinking on literary history. On the one hand there had been a relativistic view that positioned literary texts in the past, and on the other hand a normative view that implied that certain texts (due to inherent qualities like integration and complexity) could gain a certain permanence. In the last part of this article-true to the narrative approach, an implied confrontation with Cloete’s (methodological) views of literary history lead to a personal standpoint as a confrontation with the self (cf. Sools 2009:27). This explication of a personal view on the writing of a literary history (as an implied homage to Cloete) concluded the article

No full textThe use of mangroves in coastal protection
No full textApart from many ecological advantages, mangroves in front of a coastal defence may lower the construction and maintenance costs of the defence. Although mangroves have hardly any reducing effect on water levels (and on tsunami impact) mangroves may significantly reduce wave attack on a coastal dike, and in this way reduce the cost of a revetment and lower the design height of a levee because of reduced run\u81]up and overtopping height. This paper describes a design tool for the required width of the mangrove belt, as well as some guidance for planting the mangroves. Design graphs are presented to determine the required mangrove belt as a function of deep water wave action and mangrove density.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
