“Jean Barman — Vernacular Historian”
No full textOver the past year, several excellent new publications focused on the histories of mixed-race French-Canadian communities in western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Of these books, Jean Barman’s French Canadians, Furs and Indigenous Women in the Making of the Pacific Northwest merits special attention, because the author has successfully sought out, and integrated, vernacular voices as historical sources. And for this reason, Jean Barman is sometimes referred to as a “vernacular,” or grassroots historian. What is vernacular history? Is this genre a product of methodology or of one’s worldview? And can a vernacular approach to history help scholars navigate the increasingly politicised environment of indigenous studies? The author reflects on these questions, by sharing some of her personal experiences with Jean Barman that illustrate the complexity of the issues surrounding indigenous historical practice today.Au cours de la dernière année, plusieurs nouvelles publications d’excellente qualité se sont focalisées sur l’histoire des communautés canadiennes-françaises métissées de l’Ouest canadien et du nord-ouest du Pacifique. L’un de ces livres, French Canadians, Furs and Indigenous Women in the Making of the Pacific Northwest de Jean Barman, mérite une attention particulière en raison du fait que son auteure a recherché et utilisé avec brio des voix « vernaculaires » comme sources historiques. C’est pourquoi on qualifie parfois Jean Barman d’historienne « vernaculaire » ou populaire. Qu’est-ce que l’histoire vernaculaire? Est-ce le produit d’une méthodologie ou d’une vision du monde? En outre, une approche vernaculaire de l’histoire peut-elle aider les historiens à se frayer un chemin dans le champ de plus en plus politisé des études autochtones? L’auteure de l’article, poussant la réflexion dans ce sens, partage avec Jean Barman quelques expériences personnelles pouvant illustrer la complexité des questions entourant aujourd’hui la pratique de l’histoire autochtone

No full textDans ce court texte, l’auteur porte un regard critique sur la monographie de Jean Barman, une des études les plus importantes à paraître sur les voyageurs qui ont parcouru et se sont établis dans plusieurs aires de l’Amérique du Nord entre 1650 et 1850. Il en montre la richesse documentaire et il insiste sur l’analyse fine que fait Barman de la vie ainsi que de la contribution des voyageurs et de leurs femmes autochtones à l’histoire de la région du Pacifique Nord-Ouest. Il discute aussi de quelques points plus problématiques du livre.In this short piece, the author looks critically at Jean Barman’s monograph, one of the most important studies to appear on the voyageurs who have lived and settled in several North American geographical areas between 1650 and 1850. He comments on the documentary richness of the book and Barman’s fine analysis of the life of the voyageurs and their Indigenous wives’ lives and their contributions to Pacific Northwest history. He also discusses a few problematic aspects of the book
Episode 2 - 2013: Secrets and Celebrations
No full textIn this episode of Vancouver Special, we explore the 125th anniversary of Stanley Park, stroll around Vancouver as the most walkable city in Canada and hear about the library Foundation's TOUCH fundraising event supporting the VPL Inspiration Lab. CBC's Ian Hanomansing sets the scene for 2013 as we feature interviews with Vancouver Park Board general manager Malcolm Bromley, author and historian Jean Barman, walking advocate and writer John Atkin, and VPL Foundation directors Paula Shackleton and Susan Knott along with artist and curator Malcolm Levy.
Stanley Park is designated a national historic site of Canada, and it's a lush 400-hectare urban forest with a spectacular seawall and numerous famous landmarks. Park Board general manager Malcolm Bromley talks about the park, its 125th anniversary and what draws millions of visitors each year.
Jean Barman is a B.C. author who has written numerous acclaimed books on the history of Canada, women and indigenous peoples. Her book Stanley Park's Secret is a City of Vancouver Book Prize winner. Jean shares some of the history of our city's first, largest, and most beloved urban park.
He can wear out a pair of walking shoes in just a few months. Author John Atkin has written several books highlighting some of the best walks around Vancouver, which in 2013 was named the most walkable city in Canada, ahead of Toronto and Montreal and just behind New York, San Francisco and Boston on the international scene. He talks about the joy of walking in Vancouver.
It was called TOUCH, and it was a dynamic evening of art, literature and technology to support the VPL Inspiration Lab. VPL Foundation directors Paula Shackleton and Susan Knott along with artist and curator Malcolm Levy look back at this exciting event of installations and live performances.
And VPL librarian Tim McMillan brings it all together with some great reads you can find at your library about Stanley Park, walking around our city and experiencing some historic photos from VPL's Special Collections department.

On the classification of exoplanets according to Safronov number
No full text33rd International Physics Congress of the Turkish-Physical-Society (TPS) -- SEP 06-10, 2017 -- Bodrum, TURKEYWe reexamine the classification of transiting exoplanets proposed by Hansen & Barman (2007) based on equilibrium temperatures and Safronov numbers. We used more sensitive data, namely, photometric and spectroscopic orbital solutions, of 263 well-known planets given in The Exoplanet Data Explorer, while Hansen & Barman (2007) used data on 18 transiting planets. Diagrams of the planet gravity vs. orbital period, planet gravity vs. equilibrium temperature, and Safronov number vs. equilibrium temperature of the 263 transiting planets show that the division of planets into two classes is indistinct.Turkish Phys SocTUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) [113F353]; TUBITAKThis research was supported by TUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) under Grant No. 113F353.

The 2021 Magnonics Roadmap
No full textMagnonics is a budding research field in nanomagnetism and nanoscience that addresses the use of spin waves (magnons) to transmit, store, and process information. The rapid advancements of this field during last one decade in terms of upsurge in research papers, review articles, citations, proposals of devices as well as introduction of new sub-topics prompted us to present the first roadmap on magnonics. This is a collection of 22 sections written by leading experts in this field who review and discuss the current status besides presenting their vision of future perspectives. Today, the principal challenges in applied magnonics are the excitation of sub-100 nm wavelength magnons, their manipulation on the nanoscale and the creation of sub-micrometre devices using low-Gilbert damping magnetic materials and its interconnections to standard electronics. To this end, magnonics offers lower energy consumption, easier integrability and compatibility with CMOS structure, reprogrammability, shorter wavelength, smaller device features, anisotropic properties, negative group velocity, non-reciprocity and efficient tunability by various external stimuli to name a few. Hence, despite being a young research field, magnonics has come a long way since its early inception. This roadmap asserts a milestone for future emerging research directions in magnonics, and hopefully, it will inspire a series of exciting new articles on the same topic in the coming years.Computer Engineerin

No full textNot AvailableA field experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol (PBZ) as a growth retardant on excessive vegetative growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) at District Seed Farm, under Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal during kharif season in 2013 and 2014. The experiment was in split-plot with 6 main-plot treatments (PBZ @ 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250ppm) and 3 sub-plot treatments (single spraying at 30 and 50 days after emergence (DAE) and double spraying at 30 and 50 DAE). During reproductive stage significantly shorter plants (upto 28% less plant height) were observed due to PBZ application as compared to control. At harvest significantly higher dry matter production was recorded from PBZ @ 250ppm (232.1 g m-2 ) and from double spraying at 30 and 50 DAE (231.1 g m-2 ). The number of pod plant-1 and sound mature kernel (%) had showed positive impacts and finally increased the dry pod and haulm yield. The maximum dry pod yield was 1745 kg ha-1 and 1610 kg ha-1 with PBZ @ 250ppm and double spraying at 30 and 50 DAE, respectively. The highest benefit: cost ratio was also from PBZ @ 250ppm and double spraying at 30 and 50 DAE. A highly positive correlation among different attributes were recorded except plant height which was negatively correlated with other attributes i.e. dry matter production, number of pods plant-1 and yield was recorded. Therefore, PBZ @ 250ppm with double spraying had considerable positive influences on number of pod plant-1, total dry pod yield (Kg ha-1) of groundnut as well as on the benefit: cost ratio.Not Availabl
A streamlined real options model for Real Estate Development
No full textThesis (S.M. in Real Estate Development)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2007.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 52-53).This thesis introduces a streamlined model that incorporates the value of the real options that exist in real estate development projects. Real options add value to a project by providing developers with flexibility to minimize downside risk or take advantage of upside potential as conditions change from deterministic expectations. Though developers currently incorporate this value into their decision making using intuition and judgment, the model presented here provides a tool with which developers can value options in a rigorous and quantitative fashion. Though the model should not be used as a comprehensive land residual model, it serves as a powerful proof of concept for real options analysis in the field of real estate. Further, it can be used to measure the relative value and risk of projects with and without real options. The model is based on both the traditional economic and the more recent engineering real options methodologies. Both approaches have been applied to real estate development projects, but have not yet caught on due to their newness and complexity. The streamlined model incorporates the elements of both methodologies that are most applicable to current development practice. In addition, the model is simplified and tailored to existing valuation techniques. The added benefit of this "hybrid" approach is that it reduces the learning curve associated with real options analysis so as to encourage its adoption in the real estate field in the short term.(cont.) The model uses Monte Carlo simulations in Excel and is targeted towards specific options scenarios commonly faced by developers; specifically, the options to phase a project, choose among multiple uses, and defer development. A case study demonstrates the model, and compares the results of building two phased buildings versus a single larger building on the same site. The results show that the phased program results in less risk and a higher expected net present value than the single building program, while the option to defer development adds significant value to both programs.by Baabak Barman and Kathryn E.
