Carbon stable isotope analysis of cereal remains as a way to reconstruct water availability: preliminary results
No full textReconstructing past water availability, both as rainfall and irrigation, is important to answer questions about the way society reacts to climate and its changes and the role of irrigation in the development of social complexity. Carbon stable isotope analysis of archaeobotanical remains is a potentially valuable method for reconstructing water availability. To further define the relationship between water availability and plant carbon isotope composition and to set up baseline values for the Southern Levant, grains of experimentally grown barley and sorghum were studied. The cereal crops were grown at three stations under five different irrigation regimes in Jordan. Results indicate that a positive but weak relationship exists between irrigation regime and total water input of barley grains, but no relationship was found for sorghum. The relationship for barley is site-specific and inter-annual variation was present at Deir ‘Alla, but not at Ramtha and Khirbet as-Samra
Le voyage de Flohr (1780-1783) : à la croisée des mondes, des identités et des souvenirs
No full textLe voyage de Flohr (1780-1783) : à la croisée des mondes, des identités et des souvenirs — Manuscrit inédit rapportant d’importants événements, la Description du voyage de l’acclamé régiment Royal-Deux-Ponts en Amérique sur terre et sur mer de 1780 à 1784 offre un regard original sur la relation entre individu et voyage au xviiie siècle. Georg Daniel Flohr, son auteur, jeune soldat d’origine modeste, a produit une œuvre qui met en lumière une pratique inhabituelle exprimant le rapport des « anonymes » au dépaysement et à la mobilité. Le voyage de Flohr et son écriture sont deux moments distincts, qui marquent deux étapes dans le processus d’individuation de l’auteur. Membre d’un régiment caractérisé par sa germanité, l’empreinte de l’auteur est très légère au sein de son texte. Elle s’affirme en fait aux marges de son projet littéraire destiné à la relation d’une aventure collective. Ce texte, redécouvert récemment, offre nombre d’extraits fleuris permettant d’exposer certains mécanismes spécifiques de ce processus d’individuation, qui de prime abord, n’a rien d’évident. Le présent article prend en compte les ambiguïtés du récit, mais aussi son exotisme et sa candeur, pour mettre en évidence la prise de conscience de soi via l’écriture, grâce aux souvenirs.Flohr’s journey (1780-1783). At the crossroad of worlds, identities and memories — The Description du voyage de l’acclamé régiment Royal-Deux-Ponts en Amérique sur terre et sur mer de 1780 à 1784 is an hitherto unpublished manuscript that records important events and offers an original perspective on the relationship between the individual and travel in the 18th century. Its author, Georg Daniel Flohr, was a young soldier from a modest background. His work sheds a specific light on an unordinary practice that reveals how ordinary people related to changes of scenery as well as to mobility. Flohr’s journey and his putting it into writing are dissociated, each represents a stage in the history of his self. While the author belonged to a regiment that was characterized by its distinctive germanness, the imprint of the author on the text remains light. It pervades only in the margins of a literary endeavour that remained focused on narrating a collective adventure. This recently uncovered text contains some remarkable passages that illuminate the specific mechanisms of this individuation process which may appear at first glance as anything but self-evident. This paper therefore explores the ambiguities of the narrative as well as its exoticism and candour, in order to evidence the growing self-awareness that came through the processes of writing and remembering.

Jahrhundert. Georg Daniel Flohr, der Verfasser, ein junger Soldat aus einfacher Herkunft, hat ein Werk erstellt, das eine ungewöhnliche Praxis ans Licht bringt, indem es zeigt, wie Anonymen die Entdeckung neuer Landschaften und die Mobilität erleben. Die Reise von Flohr und die Ausfertigung des Reiseberichts sind zwei verschiedene Momente, die zwei Etappen im Individuationsprozess des Verfassers kennzeichnen. Obwohl er Mitglied eines Regiments war, das durch sein Deutschtum charakterisiert war, lässt sich der Verfasser in seinem Text fast gar nicht spüren. Sein Gepräge wird nur an den Rändern seines literarischen Vorhabens deutlicher, ein Gruppenabenteuer zu schildern. Der Text, der neuerdings wieder entdeckt worden ist, bietet zahlreiche blumigen Ausschnitte. Dank denen ist es möglich spezifische Mechanismen des Individuationsprozess’ zu zeigen, wenn auch dieser von vornherein gar nicht evident ist. Der vorliegende Beitrag berücksichtigt die Zweideutigkeit der Erzählung, wie auch ihre Exotik und ihre Arglosigkeit, um dann das Aufkommen des Selbstbewusstseins durch das Schreiben und dank den Erinnerungen zu betonen.

Heterogenous late Holocene climate in the Eastern Mediterranean – the Kocain Cave record from SW Turkey
No full textPalaeoclimate variability must be constrained to predict the nature and impacts of future climate change in the Eastern Mediterranean. Here, we present a late Holocene high-resolution multiproxy data set from Kocain Cave, the first of its kind from SW Turkey. Regional fluctuations in effective-moisture are recorded by variations in magnesium, strontium, phosphorous and carbon isotopes, with oxygen isotopes reacting to changes in precipitation and effective-moisture. The new record shows a double-peak of arid conditions at 1150 and 800 BCE, a wet period 330–460 CE followed by a rapid shift to dry conditions 460–830 CE, and a dry/wet Medieval Climate Anomaly/Little Ice Age pattern. Large discrepancies exist between Turkish records and the Kocain record, which shares more similarities with other Eastern Mediterranean coastal records. Heterogeneity of regional climate and palaeoclimate proxy records are emphasized

Thought and Choice in Chess
No full textWhat does a chessmaster think when he prepartes his next move? How are his thoughts organized? Which methods and strategies does he use by solving his problem of choice? To answer these questions, the author did an experimental study in 1938, to which famous chessmasters participated (Alekhine, Max Euwe and Flohr). This book is still usefull for everybody who studies cognition and artificial intelligence
EuroCity persons: A novel benchmark for person detection in traffic scenes
No full textBig data has had a great share in the success of deep learning in computer vision. Recent works suggest that there is significant further potential to increase object detection performance by utilizing even bigger datasets. In this paper, we introduce the EuroCity Persons dataset, which provides a large number of highly diverse, accurate and detailed annotations of pedestrians, cyclists and other riders in urban traffic scenes. The images for this dataset were collected on-board a moving vehicle in 31 cities of 12 European countries. With over 238,200 person instances manually labeled in over 47,300 images, EuroCity Persons is nearly one order of magnitude larger than datasets used previously for person detection in traffic scenes. The dataset furthermore contains a large number of person orientation annotations (over 211,200). We optimize four state-of-the-art deep learning approaches (Faster R-CNN, R-FCN, SSD and YOLOv3) to serve as baselines for the new object detection benchmark. In experiments with previous datasets we analyze the generalization capabilities of these detectors when trained with the new dataset. We furthermore study the effect of the training set size, the dataset diversity (day- versus night-time, geographical region), the dataset detail (i.e., availability of object orientation information) and the annotation quality on the detector performance. Finally, we analyze error sources and discuss the road ahead.Accepted Author ManuscriptIntelligent Vehicle
