The Skycourt and Skygarden: greening the urban habitat
No full textPopulation increases, advances in technology and the continued trend towards inner-city migration have transformed the traditional city of spaces into the modern city of objects. This has necessitated alternative spatial and technological solutions to replenish those environments that were once so intrinsic to society’s day-to-day interactions and communal activities.
This book considers skycourts and skygardens as ‘alternative social spaces’ that form part of a broader multi-level urban infrastructure – seeking to make good the loss of open space within the built environment. Jason Pomeroy begins the discussion with the decline of the public realm, and how the semi-public realm has been incorporated into a spatial hierarchy that supports the primary figurative spaces on the ground or, in their absence, creates them in the sky. He then considers skycourts and skygardens in terms of the social, cultural, economic, environmental, technological and spatial benefits that they provide to the urban habitat. Pomeroy concludes by advocating a new hybrid that can harness the social characteristics of the public domain, but be placed within buildings as an alternative communal space for the 21st century

A metric study of three types of artificial cranial modification from north-central Peru
No full textArtificial cranial modification (ACM) involves the alteration of cranial vault shape by cultural means, and is performed during infancy while the cranial bones remain soft and malleable. The direction of normal cranial growth is altered through the application of external forces. In this study, three types of ACM from north-central Peru (posterior flattening, bilobed and circumferential) were analysed using standard craniometric techniques. The aim was to determine the effects of these forms of ACM on craniofacial morphology, and the extent to which different types of ACM could be distinguished from one another and unmodified crania on the basis of these measurements. Significant differences between artificially modified and unmodified crania, and between different types of ACM, were demonstrated in cranial vault shape for all types. Significant differences in facial morphology were found only in the bilobed group compared with the unmodified crania. Canonical variates analysis (discriminant analysis) confirmed that major differences between modification types and unmodified crania were in measurements and angles of the cranial vault. While the results show some similarities to previous studies, they add to the variability in the patterns and extent of differences documented to date. It is suggested, based on these results and visual observations, that interpopulation variation in ACM within major modification categories may explain some of the variability in results between studies, an explanation which has previously received insufficient recognition but which remains to be tested since varied methodology between studies may also be a contributory factor. While previous studies have often sought to generalise about the effects of ACM, the examination of the differences between populations even within major ACM categories may offer new insight into cultural variation in modification techniques between populations and the nature of craniofacial development.<br/

Laparoscopic pomeroy tubal ligation: a comparison with tubal cauterization in a teaching hospital
No full textOBJECTIVE: To compare laparoscopic Pomeroy tubal ligation to standard bipolar tubal cauterization for the outcome measures of failure rate, complication rate and procedure duration, with an analysis of the effect of resident experience on procedure duration. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study of patients presenting for interval sterilization between August 1998 and June 2000. RESULTS: The characteristics of the laparoscopic Pomeroy (n = 99) and bipolar cautery (n = 62) patients were comparable. The mean procedure duration was 40.8 +/- 14.6 minutes for laparoscopic Pomeroy and 39.6 +/- 18.8 minutes for bipolar cautery (p \u3c 0.68). Multiple regression analysis revealed that procedure duration was a function of both months in residency (R2 = .098, p \u3c 0.007) and number of laparoscopic Pomeroy procedures performed (R2 = .082, p \u3c 0.01). One complication occurred with each procedure (p \u3c 0.576). Two sterilization failures occurred after bipolar cautery and 1 after laparoscopic Pomeroy (p \u3c 0.33). The laparoscopic Pomeroy failure occurred in the shortest tubal segment obtained, 0.7 cm, versus the average segment length, 2.07 +/- .79 cm. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic Pomeroy did not differ from bipolar cautery for the outcome measures studied. Both time in residency and procedure-specific experience affect the duration of laparoscopic Pomeroy. A tubal segment length of 1 cm should be removed to limit sterilization failures

spaceTexts: A Corpus of Speeches in the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
No full textState and nonstate actors gather annually at the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) to debate, deliberate, and exchange information regarding the use and exploration of outer space. Established as an ad hoc committee in the wake of the 1957 launch of Sputnik I, today COPUOS is one of the largest committees in the UN and serves as the preeminent diplomatic venue for the discussion of legal, political, and technical issues arising from the international community's use of space.
Previously only fully available in physical archives, this project digitizes and makes available speeches from the General Debate/General Exchange of Views section. The individual statements are stored in plain text files with associated metadata to assist in natural language processing. The original transcripts are also available for download, and more details can be found in the README file.</p
