History of the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2000-2015
No full text"This history is the third in a series. It follows William F. Willingham's Army Engineers and the Development of Oregon: A History of the Portland District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1983) and Todd Jennings, Lisa Mighetto, and Jill Schnaiberg's Currents of Change: A History of the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1980- 2000 (2003). This volume documents the first fifteen years of the twenty-first century, a period in which the Portland District continued its many missions, including navigation, environmental stewardship, hydropower, regulatory program, flood-risk management, emergency response, tribal liaison, cultural resources management, and recreation. The District faced new challenges as its infrastructure aged, funding difficulties emerged, and environmental work gained increasing importance to all Corps missions"--Page X.submitted by: Historical Research Associates, Inc. ; by Morgen Young and William F.

Spong Drove, Willingham. An Archaeological Evaluation
No full textAn archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land off of Spong Drove, Willingham, Cambridgeshire involving a programme of six trenches that were intially machine excavated with a further judgemental trench opened towards the end of the excavation programme. Numerous archaeological features in the form of postholes, pits and linears were cut into a buried soil, in addition to midden-type deposits. Pottery recovered from across the site indicated occupation of the locale from the Late Bronze Age through to the 4th century AD. Building material, in the form of roof tiles, may indicate the presence of a Romano-British structure within the immediate vicinity

The Archaeology of Willingham/Over - A Desktop Study
No full textARC Ltd. have commissioned this desktop study in advance of their application for a quarry at Willimngham/Over, Cambridgeshire. The main study area extends west from the River Great Ouse to the Willingham/Earith road, and south from the Old West River to the village lands of Over and Willingham (the line of Dockeral Brook). Lying as it does where the River Great Ouse enters the fen basin, the study area falls at an area of critical landscape juncture: fen, ' up ' - /dry-land, river valley, backwater system and mere. Consequently its environmental and settlement history is complex. An historical landscape focus, this area is where the post-medieval drainage of the region had its point of original - the Bedford level - and the adjacent length of West River is thought to have been canalized by the Romans (The Car Dyke or Old Tillage). 2km to the east lies Belsar's Hill, a major ringwork fortification of probable Iron Age date that commands the landward approach to the Aldreth Causeway leading to the Isle of Ely. While of much later date, the existence of a star-shaped Civil War fort, The Bulwark, in the Washes at the southern end of the Bedford Level would similarly attest to this as a strategic landscape 'hub'

No full textPancreatic cancer is a growing problem in oncology, given slowly rising incidence and continued suboptimal outcomes. A concerted effort to reverse this tide will require prevention, early diagnosis, and improved systemic therapy for curable disease. We focus on these aspects in detail in this study. Hereditary pancreatic cancer is an underappreciated area. With the growing use of genomics (both somatic and germline) in cancer care, there is increasing recognition of hereditary pancreatic cancer cases: around 10% of all pancreatic cancer may be related to familial syndromes, such as familial atypical multiple mole and melanoma (FAMMM) syndrome, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Screening and surveillance guidelines by various expert groups are discussed. Management of resectable pancreatic cancer is evolving; the use of multiagent systemic therapies, in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings, is discussed. Current and emerging data, along with ongoing clinical trials addressing important questions in this area, are described. Surveillance recommendations based on latest ASCO guidelines are also discussed. Finally, the multimodality management of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer is discussed. The various clinicoanatomic definitions of this entity, followed by consensus definitions, are described. Then, we focus on current opinions and practices around neoadjuvant therapy, discussing chemotherapy and radiation aspects, and the role of surgical resection

An Archaeological Watching Brief on Land behind 48 Church Street, Willingham
No full textThe machining of foundation trenches for a small housing development behind 48 Church Street, Willingham (TL406 705) was monitored, and a number of possible archaeological features recorded in the sections of the trenches. None of these produced any datable material. Two were large pits which may be associated with a medieval pit recorded in the previous evaluation of the site, but may also be modern

An Archaeological Assessment at High Street, Willingham, Cambridgeshire
No full textAn archaeological assessment was carried out in the centre of Willingham, in advance of a proposed housing development. A desktop study suggested that, although remains were not specifically evident on the site, the richness of the surrounding area and the slightly raised location might indicate the potential of survival of material from the prehistoric period onwards. The assessment revealed no prehistoric or Roman material. In the central area intensive evidence was revealed of early to middle Saxon settlement, which did not relate to the later street layout. Little medieval material was found in the central area, but there was extensive evidence of small scale medieval and post-medieval gravel extraction in what has remained a marginal area of the village for many centuries
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
