Absorption of P- and S-waves above subduction zones
No full textWe investigate local variations of absorption above the subduction zones of the northwest Pacific. Teleseismic broad-band (BB) recordings at German arrays from 59 earthquakes in this area allow the determination of the quality factor Q(P) and Q(S). The method to determine Q is the phase pair method. Here, for the first time, P-wave BB-recordings at dense arrays are used, extending the frequency range studied and increasing the reliability of the Q(P) determination for the northwest Pacific. 1-D Earth models have typical Q(P) values of 200 to 800 (Qs: 100 to 400) in the upper 200 km. Q(P) under the Kuriles, the Kurile Basin and Japan is about 100, i.e. significantly lower than average. Qs under Japan is also only about 1/3 of the value of 1-D models. No frequency dependence of Q(P) and Q(S) could be detected for the broad frequency range studied [0.05 to 1 Hz]

Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858-1932) was an author who made frequent visits to Wilmington, NC. His family was from Fayetteville, NC, though he was born in Cleveland, OH. His writings were the first by an African-American to be widely acclaimed by critics. He was able to describe vividly life in the South and in the Negro culture. His book "Marrow of Tradition" was of particular interest to Wilmington residents because it is a fictionalized account of the race riot of 1898. Fayetteville is called "Patesville", and Wilmington is called "Wellington.

Charles Long Presentation at Opening Banquet
No full textJames Cone introduces Charles Long who gives a lecture presentation. In the presentation Charles Long discusses the work of James Cone and Black religion in the United States. He mentions Benjamin E. Mays, C. Eric Lincoln and Howard Thurman as influential in the study of Black religion prior to James Cone. Long explains how Cone's work is a watershed in the study of Black religion. He also describes how Cone's work sets a basis for assessing prior work in Black religion and how it plots new and different trends in theological study. Long concludes the lecture by posing questions for future study of Black religion in America.The Atlanta University Center Robert W.

RoMEO Studies 5: IPR issues for OAI Data and Service Providers
No full textThis paper is the fifth in a series of studies emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It reports the results of two surveys of OAI Data Providers (DPs) and Service Providers (SPs) with regards to the rights issues they face. It finds that very few DPs have rights agreements with depositing authors and that there is no standard approach to the creation of rights metadata. The paper considers the rights protection afforded individual and collections of metadata records under UK Law and contrasts this with DP and SP’s views on the rights status of metadata and how they wish to protect it. The majority of DP and SPs believe that a standard way of describing both the rights status of documents and of metadata would be usefu
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

Book review, Prophesy Deliverance. Cornell West and Charles Long, reviewers
No full textIn this audio recording, Cornel West presents the central aim and theological underpinnings of his book Prophesy Deliverance. During his presentation, he discusses the serious need for social theory in Black theology. After his presentation, Charles Long gives a critical response. In his response he discusses the imperialistic structure behind western epistemology. A question and answer period follows Longs response.The Atlanta University Center Robert W.
