The cult of St Nicholas in medieval Italy
No full textSt Nicholas was one of the most popular saints in medieval Italy. His cult attracted the attention
of popes, kings and emperors, and his shrine at Bari became an important international pilgrimage
destination. This thesis asks how the cult of St Nicholas came to be so widespread and popular in
Italy, and why the saint attracted the attention of diverse groups and individuals.
This thesis is structured around four chapters. The first demonstrates that through a
process of Latinisation the cult of St Nicholas became integrated within Italian literary traditions
and within a new spiritual era. Chapter Two reveals that this Latinisation also occurred within the
saint’s iconography. Chapters Three and Four are case studies of the cult in Puglia and Venice,
locations which claimed possession of the saint’s relics. These case studies show that the general
developments that the cult of St Nicholas underwent in Italy, identified in Chapters One and Two,
did not apply universally. Instead, the presence of the saint’s relics resulted in a different profile
of the saint in Bari and Venice. Through the process of Latinisation, the cult of St Nicholas
became updated and remained relevant for its new Italian audience; Chapters Three and Four
show alternative ways that the cult of St Nicholas gained widespread popularity.
This thesis presents for the first time an iconographical study of St Nicholas in Italian art,
which develops existing research of the saint’s Byzantine iconography. Chapter Four presents a
profile of the cult of St Nicholas in Venice in the Middle Ages, which is a significant oversight in
the literature. The thesis uses a variety of visual and textual sources, in particular fresco and
altarpiece representations, archival documents from Venice and Rome (including the Apostolic
Visitations), and under-exploited contemporary and antiquarian Venetian sources
FOREIGN GAS BROADENED WIDTHS OF AT 9.4 AND 10.4m
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of physics, The Ohio State UniversityThe pressure broadened widths of lines of carbon dioxide broadened by oxygen and dry air have been estimated by and analysis of the 9.4 and 10.4m bands using methods described . The data were obtained with a commercial Nicolet F.T.S. of resolution approximately , a path length of 130 meters, and pressures of approximately one atmosphere. Spectra were obtained over a temperature range of about , including room temperature. Preliminary estimates for broadening are consistent with the few previous . In particular it has been found that the temperature dependence is more satisfactorily modeled with an exponent of approximately. 75. M. HOKE and J. Shaw, Applied Optics, 22, 328 (1983). M.

Directing Shaw Plays for Community Theater Audiences
No full textABSTRACT
This article discusses the problems and the possibilities involved in directing a Shaw play for community theater audiences and illustrates both from the author's experiences when he directed Arms and the Man for a community theater company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Those experiences reveal that some problems emerge from the difference between the typical expectations of community theater audiences for light entertainment and the challenging language and intellectual content of Shaw's plays. Other experiences suggest that often typical “working conditions” in community theater productions can present particular problems for the director attempting to stage a Shaw play. However, the author realized anew that Shaw built some advantages and some guidance for potential directors into his texts. These include the virtues of his prose and, frequently, the conjunction between the thrust of his ideas and the effectiveness of his dramatic strategy.</jats:p

Seismic data reveal eastern Black Sea Basin structure
No full textRifted continental margins are formed by progressive extension of the lithosphere. The development of these margins plays an integral role in the plate tectonic cycle, and an understanding of the extensional process underpins much hydrocarbon exploration. A key issue is whether the lithosphere extends uniformly, or whether extension varies\ud
with depth. Crustal extension may be determined using seismic techniques. Lithospheric extension may be inferred from the waterloaded subsidence history, determined from\ud
the pattern of sedimentation during and after rifting. Unfortunately, however, many rifted margins are sediment-starved, so the subsidence history is poorly known.\ud
To test whether extension varies between the crust and the mantle, a major seismic experiment was conducted in February–March 2005 in the eastern Black Sea Basin (Figure 1), a deep basin where the subsidence history is recorded\ud
by a thick, post-rift sedimentary sequence. The seismic data from the experiment indicate the presence of a thick, low-velocity zone, possibly representing overpressured sediments. They also indicate that the basement and\ud
Moho in the center of the basin are both several kilometers shallower than previously inferred. These initial observations may have considerable impact on thermal models of the petroleum system in the basin. Understanding\ud
the thermal history of potential source rocks is key to reducing hydrocarbon exploration risk. The experiment, which involved collaboration between university groups in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Turkey, and BP and\ud
Turkish Petroleum (TPAO), formed part of a larger project that also is using deep seismic reflection and other geophysical data held by the industry partners to determine the subsidence history and hence the strain evolution of\ud
the basin
The Shaw Family of Staten Island: Elizabeth Gaskell's American friends
No full textElizabeth Gaskell’s article, “Robert Gould Shaw”, in Macmillan’s Magazine, Cambridge, vol. IX, December 1863, is one of her less well-known pieces of journalism. She outlined the life and death - at the head of a black regiment in the American Civil War - of the 25-year-old only son of her friend, Sarah Shaw of Staten Island, New York. The article’s chief value at the time was as propaganda for the abolitionist and Union causes, while the British government considered recognising the Confederacy for the sake of the cotton trade. The author all but canonised her subject in her efforts to appeal to her readers’ emotions. However, notwithstanding its historical interest as propaganda, the article repays closer attention; for behind the eulogy lies the story of a talented, courageous family, and an image of heroism still poignant and pertinent after 132 years
