The author concludes that government planners, managers, engineers, and the public sector must join together to provide a realistic approach to the question of dredging and use of the resulting spoil material.The author is a District II Coordinator and a Marine Lands Inspector.Purpose: To investigate how many permits had been issued and what the resulting spoil volume was
Fluxus Experience
No full textProviding phenomenological accounts of specific artworks and events, Higgins situtates Fluxus in an holistic framework based in embodied knowledge and experience in order to better suit its reception and counter misconceptions of the movement. Higgins also traces the pluralistic reception of Fluxus in Europe and gauges its close relations with Pop and Conceptual art. The author proposes her new reading of Fluxus as a positive model for future pedagogy. Index. List of illustrations. Circa 400 bibl. ref

No full textEste documento detalla el proceso de investigación y creación llevado a cabo para el proyecto Higgins, una novela gráfica de autoría original que examina de manera crítica la relación entre los migrantes latinoamericanos y el sueño americano. A través de una narrativa ambientada en una historia alternativa, Higgins ilustra las tensiones sociales, económicas y culturales que caracterizan la experiencia migrante,
poniendo de manifiesto las contradicciones estructurales de la sociedad estadounidense y el papel subordinado que desempeñan los trabajadores latinos en ella.
Aunque la novela gráfica no se completó en su totalidad, este documento compila de manera exhaustiva el proceso de ideación, desarrollo narrativo y construcción visual del universo ficticio, así como de sus personajes y entornos.
Se propone una reflexión crítica, estética y simbólica sobre la identidad, la otredad y los imaginarios de progreso.This document details the research and creative process behind Higgins, an original graphic novel that critically examines the relationship between Latin American migrants and the American Dream.

Geocoordinates of Bansefi Bank Branches in Mexico
No full textThis data set has the geocoordinates of all Bansefi bank branches in Mexico as of 2008. (Note that the number of branches has not grown substantially since 2008 so this is still a good approximation of the current locations of branches.) The two columns of the data set are:
1) Latitude

Aidan Higgins\u27s Fictions and Aesthetics
No full textThis doctoral thesis seeks to articulate how visual comparisons may help readers to understand the complexity of ways of seeing in Aidan Higgins\u27s main fictions, Felo de Se (1960), Langrishe, Go Down (1966), Balcony of Europe (first published in 1972, then edited and re-issued in 2010), Bornholm Night-Ferry (1983) and Lions of the Grunewald (1993). In closing, the study also considers the presence of drawings and other visual images in Blind Man\u27s Bluff (2012), Higgins\u27s final publication in his lifetime. A guiding research objective is to counter a common argument in the critical discourse that Higgins\u27s style is compromised by formal deficits. The true breadth and refinement of Higgins\u27s visual descriptions are revealed in this thesis through comparative engagement with texts from art history and aesthetics. This is a significant intervention in the study of Higgins: no such study, integrating specialist knowledge of art historiography in analysing the author\u27s fictional modes of vision, currently exists in the scholarship or criticism. The author was Samuel Beckett\u27s mentee in the 1950s, but is a marginal figure in Irish Studies. His first novel, Langrishe, Go Down , was greeted with a flourish of critical attention and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction in 1967. The subsequent, more stylistically experimental texts have been less commercially successful. Higgins\u27s writing is inflected by a pan-European sensibility and international experiences. One of the reasons that Higgins\u27s writing has been under-appreciated on a stylistic level is that his subject matter exceeds the socio-political perspectives that has dominated Irish Studies since the latter half of the twentieth century. Scholars are still catching up with the complex artistic moves of twentieth-century Irish literature. Of the existing scholarship, there is one monograph that heavily deals with Higgins\u27s work: Irish Fiction and Postmodern Doubt: An Analysis of the Epistemological Crisis in Modern Irish Fiction (2004) by Neil Murphy. Aidan Higgins: The Fragility of Form (2010), an edited collection compiled by Murphy and the sole book to date that focuses entirely on Higgins\u27s work, pays tribute to the delicacy of his style. However, much of the extant criticism has reproached his work for its lack of robust formal structuring devices. This doctoral thesis uses a wealth of archival sources, notably including the collection of Ussher\u27s letters housed at the Manuscripts and Archives Research Library at Trinity College, Dublin, which provides original viewpoints that do not exist in any in-depth way in the current secondary literature on Higgins, and which also contains some of the burgeoning writer\u27s juvenilia. Similarly, the inventory of fonds at the University of Victoria in Canada is an invaluable resource. In particular, Higgins\u27s notebooks present an illuminating source for deciphering the emotions and aesthetic states that rest under his artistic proclivities. Relating Higgins\u27s letter writing and his diary and notebook entries to references from art historical theories bolsters a framework for interpreting the wealth of manuscript material
