Abstract

Laterally continuous terraces along the western flank of Cape Range, Western Australia, record both past sea-level highstands and postdepositional vertical displacement. Four distinct fossil coral reef terraces extend nearly the entire length of the slowly uplifting anticlinal structure (∼100 km), enabling documentation of the timing and degree of deformation-induced elevation contamination of past sea-level estimates from fossil shorelines. Here, we present detailed elevations of the four terraces using differential global positioning system (DGPS) and airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data sets, along with new ages for the three upper terraces. Geochemical dating using strontium isotope stratigraphy techniques revealed, from highest to lowest elevation: a late Miocene reef terrace, a late Pliocene shoreline, and a prominent mid-Pleistocene reef terrace (probably associated with the marine oxygen isotope stage 33–31 interglacial), along with a broad last interglacial (Eemian) reef terrace and lagoon, which terminate at the modern shoreline. Laterally variable elevation data integrated with newly defined ages for the terraces demonstrate a gradual and continuous relative deformation in the region that spans at least the last 6.5 m.y. and constrains the emergence of the Cape Range to sometime prior to the late Miocene. This data set also shows that the most recent interglacial shoreline has undergone

Abstract

We report ciao a geological unit surveyed and dated in central Patagonia, Argentina (Camarones town, San Jorge Gulf). The unit was interpreted as representative of an intertidal environment and dated to the Early Pliocene (4.69-5.23 Ma) with strontium isotope stratigraphy. The elevation of this unit was measured with differential GPS at ca. 36 m above present-day sea level. Considering modern tidal ranges, it was possible to constrain paleo relative sea level within ±2.5m (1s). We use glacial isostatic adjustment models and estimates of vertical land movement to calculate that, when the Camarones intertidal sequence was deposited, global mean sea level was 28.4 ± 11.7m above present. This estimate matches those derived from analogous Early Pliocene sea level proxies in the Mediterranean Sea and South Africa. Evidence from these three locations indicates that Early Pliocene sea level may have exceeded 20m above its present level. Such high global mean sea level values imply an ice-free Greenland, a significant melting of West Antarctica, and a contribution of East Antarctica to global mean sea level., Los datos utilizados para este trabajo pueden accederse haciendo clic en "Documentos relacionados"., Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo

Abstract

An ethnographic study based on decades of field research, Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain explores five sacred journeys to the peaks of venerated mountains undertaken by Nahua people living in northern Veracruz, Mexico. Punctuated with elaborate ritual offerings dedicated to the forces responsible for rain, seeds, crop fertility, and the well-being of all people, these pilgrimages are the highest and most elaborate form of Nahua devotion and reveal a sophisticated religious philosophy that places human beings in intimate contact with what Westerners call the forces of nature. Alan and Pamela Sandstrom document them for the younger Nahua generation, who live in a world where many are lured away from their communities by wage labor in urban Mexico and the United States. Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain contains richly detailed descriptions and analyses of ritual procedures as well as translations from the Nahuatl of core myths, chants performed before decorated altars, and statements from participants. Particular emphasis is placed on analyzing the role of sacred paper figures that are produced by the thousands for each pilgrimage. The work contains drawings of these cuttings of spirit entities along with hundreds of color photographs illustrating how they are used throughout the pilgrimages. The analysis reveals the monist philosophy that underlies Nahua religious practice in which altars, dancing, chanting, and the paper figures themselves provide direct access to the sacred. In the context of their pilgrimage traditions, the ritual practices of Nahua religion show one way that people interact effectively with the forces responsible for not only their own prosperity but also the very survival of humanity. A magnum opus with respect to Nahua religion and religious practice, Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain is a significant contribution to several fields, including but not limited to anthropology, Indigenous literatures of Mesoamerica, Nahuatl studies, Latinx and Chicanx studies, and religious studies.

Abstract

For too long, the Gulf Coast of Mexico has been dismissed by scholars as peripheral to the Mesoamerican heartland, but researchers now recognize that much can be learned from this region's cultures. Peoples of the Gulf Coast—particularly those in Veracruz and Tabasco—share so many historical experiences and cultural features that they can fruitfully be viewed as a regional unit for research and analysis. Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico is the first book to argue that the people of this region constitute a culture area distinct from other parts of Mexico. A pioneering effort by a team of international scholars who summarize hundreds of years of history, this encyclopedic work chronicles the prehistory, ethnohistory, and contemporary issues surrounding the many and varied peoples of the Gulf Coast, bringing together research on cultural groups about which little or only scattered information has been published. The volume includes discussions of the prehispanic period of the Gulf Coast, the ethnohistory of many of the neglected indigenous groups of Veracruz and the Huasteca, the settlement of the American Mediterranean, and the unique geographical and ecological context of the Chontal Maya of Tabasco. It provides descriptions of the Popoluca, Gulf Coast Nahua, Totonac, Tepehua, Sierra Ñähñu (Otomí), and Huastec Maya. Each chapter contains a discussion of each group's language, subsistence and settlement patterns, social organization, belief systems, and history of acculturation, and also examines contemporary challenges to the future of each native people. As these contributions reveal, Gulf Coast peoples share not only major cultural features but also historical experiences, such as domination by Hispanic elites beginning in the sixteenth century and subjection to forces of change in Mexico. Yet as contemporary people have been affected by factors such as economic development, increased emigration, and the spread of Protestantism, traditional cultures have become rallying points for ethnic identity. Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico highlights the significance of the Gulf Coast for anyone interested in the great encuentro between the Old and New Worlds and general processes of culture change. By revealing the degree to which these cultures have converged, it represents a major step toward achieving a broader understanding of the peoples of this region and will be an important reference work on these indigenous populations for years to come.

Abstract

Brendan Jamal Thornton, Negotiating Respect: Pentecostalism, Masculinity, and the Politics of Spiritual Authority in the Dominican Republic. Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2016. 288 pp.This work by Brendan Jamal Thornton is an ethnographic study of the phenomenal growth of fundamentalist Protestantism among those living in an urban barrio in the Dominican Republic. Thornton seeks to explain why Pentecostalism has made such inroads in a country where the citizens identify very strongly with the Catholic Church. He wants to understand why converts to Pentecostalism, a foreign religion that undermines Catholic authority, are welcomed as religious leaders and exemplars among the Dominican population. The author focuses attention on violent street gangs and provides insight into why gang members convert to a religion that undermines their macho identity and rejects everything they stand for. While the focus of this study is on the Dominican Republic, the author recognizes that people are converting to Pentecostalism by the millions in the Caribbean, Latin America, and many other places throughout the world (see Dow 2001). Thornton states that although Pentecostalism is a marginal religion in the US, it claims more then 500 million adherents worldwide (2), many of whom occupy the lowest levels of socioeconomic hierarchies. Pentecostalism overwhelmingly attracts the poor and dispossessed. The appeal of this Protestant sect in such a wide variety of cultures and nations calls out for social scientific explanation. Thornton's ethnographic approach provides many fascinating insights into the phenomenon as it plays out in the Dominican Republic. However, his reliance on an interpretive approach inspired by the work of Clifford Geertz (1973) robs the study of some of its analytical and explanatory power. The reader learns about the attraction of Pentecostalism to some people in the barrios, but understands little about its universal appeal to widely different people outside of that context. Furthermore, one learns only of the positive effects of conversion to Pentecostalism and not its negative consequences for individuals and social groups.In the Introduction, the author states that his study focuses on the intersection of religion, identity, and culture and aims to illuminate the social dynamics of Pentecostalism by offering a "fresh perspective on religious pluralism and the ever-evolving contours of contemporary religious and culture change" (1). Thornton goes on in Chapter 1 to provide a brief history of the Dominican Republic showing how the strong Catholic identity developed from the colonial period carries through to today. He reviews major religious traditions in the country and shows how the arrival of Protestantism fits into the larger Christian presence. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the barrio, detailing the local economy, street gangs, and community churches, as well as a description of the author's techniques for interviewing residents. In Chapter 3, the author provides a case study of a woman who converted to Pentecostalism, along with a discussion of beliefs found throughout the Dominican Republic regarding the causes of disease and misfortune. Chapter 4 is devoted to outlining the behavioral changes associated with conversion, followed by a chapter discussing the street gangs in greater depth. Thornton provides case studies showing how the gangs relate to conversion and demonstrates that members with the most ferocious reputations often make the most convincing converts. Chapter 7 elaborates the concepts of respect and trust as they relate to conversion to Pentecostalism. The author ends with a summary of his findings and briefly compares Pentecostalism to other religious traditions in the island nation.Anthropological studies of religion in the Caribbean have largely focused on the fascinating beliefs and practices of Vodu (Voodoo) to the neglect of more mainline, less exotic traditions (7-8). …

Abstract

Hearty and Tormey (1) challenge our conclusions (2), incorrectly arguing that the megaboulders we discuss were shown to originate from the cliff bottom. A number of mischaracterizations are made by Hearty and Tormey (1) in their letter. First, we do not use a “tsunami wave model.” Second, we do not address the two other Bahamian landforms Hearty and Tormey (1) mention: their “superstorm” genesis interpretation [for which alternative hypotheses have been proposed (3, 4)] has no bearing on our (2) conclusions. Hearty and Tormey’s (1) claim that the boulders have “fingerprints” based on “several physical criteria” and “data from multiple disciplines” is false. Only two mega-boulder “physical properties” were reported by Hearty … [↵][1]1To whom correspondence should be addressed. Email: arovere{at}marum.de. [1]: #xref-corresp-1-1

Abstract

As global climate warms and sea level rises, coastal areas will be subject to more frequent extreme flooding and hurricanes. Geologic evidence for extreme coastal storms during past warm periods has the potential to provide fundamental insights into their future intensity. Recent studies argue that during the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e, ∼128–116 ka) tropical and extratropical North Atlantic cyclones may have been more intense than at present, and may have produced waves larger than those observed historically. Such strong swells are inferred to have created a number of geologic features that can be observed today along the coastlines of Bermuda and the Bahamas. In this paper, we investigate the most iconic among these features: massive boulders atop a cliff in North Eleuthera, Bahamas. We combine geologic field surveys, wave models, and boulder transport equations to test the hypothesis that such boulders must have been emplaced by storms of greater-than-historical intensity. By contrast, our results suggest that with the higher relative sea level (RSL) estimated for the Bahamas during MIS 5e, boulders of this size could have been transported by waves generated by storms of historical intensity. Thus, while the megaboulders of Eleuthera cannot be used as geologic proof for past “superstorms,” they do show that with rising sea levels, cliffs and coastal barriers will be subject to significantly greater erosional energy, even without changes in storm intensity.

Abstract

SUMMARY This special issue presents new, original essays by anthropologists who have spent a great deal of time carrying out fieldwork in a variety of ways and under many different conditions. Their ways of doing long-term fieldwork vary from revisiting the same community to doing multisited fieldwork to gain a broader comparative perspective in the discipline of anthropology. The authors wrestle with the meaning of their work after observing the people they befriended and studied undergo sometimes-devastating changes, suffering deep life-changing experiences themselves, and witnessing controversies over the value of doing and writing ethnography.

Abstract

A novel curvilinear tool-path generation method is described for planar milling of pockets. The method uses the solution of an elliptic partial differential equation boundary value problem defined on a pocket region. This mathematical function helps morph a smooth low-curvature spiral path in a pocket interior to one that conforms to the pocket boundary. This morphing leads to substantial reductions of tool wear in cutting hard metals and of machining time in cutting all metals, as experiments described here show. A variable feed-rate optimization procedure is also described. This procedure incorporates path, tool engagement, and machine constraints and can be applied to maximize machine performance for any tool path.Copyright © 2002 by ASME

Abstract

In their reaction to our article "The Use and Misuse of Anthropological Methods in Library and Information Science Research," Nancy P. Thomas and James M. Nyce accuse us of promulgating a "single science" that they would like to replace with a broader, more inclusive epistemology [1, 2]. While in their eyes we stand guilty of the "reduction of science and ethnography," they demonstrate their tolerance and ecumenical spirit by recommending that approaches such as discourse analysis should have a central place in scientific investigation. We strongly disagree with both their characterization of our work and their recommendations. Even a cursory reading of our article reveals that we do not reduce science. In fact, we work hard to expand it beyond the narrow confines often ascribed to it by the antiscience crowd. We describe an inclusive approach to using scientific ethnography to investigate human thought and behavior. While appearing to broaden science, Thomas and Nyce are in fact blurring the distinction between science and nonscience in the study of human beings. Rather than increase the reach of scientific method, they undermine the very "systematicity and rigor" in research they claim to value. They cannot admit that they reject science outright, but this, in effect, is precisely what they do. We hope that library and information science (LIS) researchers will see through the hidden agenda of Thomas and Nyce and avoid the radical relativism that lies at the heart of their program. Although failing to identify themselves as such, Thomas and Nyce clearly fall in with the general category of postmodern or social-constructionist critics of science that we refer to in our article. Like postmodernists in general, they are long on rhetoric and short on specifics. They do not define discourse analysis, show how it would be of use to LIS researchers, or provide a single example of why this approach is superior to the scientific ethnography that we outline in our article. No mention is made about how we are to evaluate one discourse analysis over another. Are all such analyses of equal value? We are left wondering how such an approach can produce knowledge that is both valid and reliable and why it should replace scientific ethnography that has proven its success over the decades. If they intend discourse analysis to supplement scientific work, they do not specify how this would be accomplished. In the terminology of scientific ethnography, Thomas and Nyce presumably are interested in emic data. What about the etic perspective on social interaction? Do they presume that merely revealing what is in people's heads (for example, values and worldview) or the hidden biases of analysts who write about

Abstract

The Electron-Muon Ranger (EMR) is a fully-active tracking-calorimeter installed in the beam line of the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE). The experiment will demonstrate ionization cooling, an essential technology needed for the realization of a Neutrino Factory and/or a Muon Collider. The EMR is designed to measure the properties of low energy beams composed of muons, electrons and pions, and perform the identification particle-by-particle. The detector consists of 48 orthogonal layers of 59 triangular scintillator bars. The readout is implemented using FPGA custom made electronics and commercially available modules. This article describes the construction of the detector from its design up to its commissioning with cosmic data.

Abstract

Qualitative methodologies are growing in importance for library and information science researchers. In this article, we note an unfortunate antiscientific bias in contemporary writings that proclaim the value of qualitative approaches for studying information problems. We critique such claims in terms of five key methodological concerns: (1) scientific versus nonscientific traditions; (2) the distinction between emic and etic perspectives; (3) the artificial divide between qualitative and quantitative techniques; (4) inductive versus deductive research strategies; and (5) the challenges of portraying real people in scientific reports. After evaluating a selection of published research on reference service performance, we conclude that library and information science investigators should turn to scientific ethnography to escape methodological impasses.

Abstract

The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), which is under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), will demonstrate the principle of ionization cooling as a technique for the reduction of the phase-space volume occupied by a muon beam. Ionization cooling channels are required for the Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider. MICE will evaluate in detail the performance of a single lattice cell of the Feasibility Study 2 cooling channel. The MICE Muon Beam has been constructed at the ISIS synchrotron at RAL, and in MICE Step I, it has been characterized using the MICE beam-instrumentation system. In this paper, the MICE Muon Beam and beam-line instrumentation are described. The muon rate is presented as a function of the beam loss generated by the MICE target dipping into the ISIS proton beam. For a 1 V signal from the ISIS beam-loss monitors downstream of our target we obtain a 30 KHz muon rate, with a neglible pion contamination in the beam.

Abstract

A theory is presented for the flow-induced fiber orientation and stress in fiber-reinforced polymer composites with planar fiber orientation. The rate of change of fiber orientation is given as a function of the strain rate in the continuum and the probabilistic effects of physical inter-fiber contacts. The continuum stress is calculated from the stress in the fluid and fibers, where fiber stress is a result of the local disturbance in the fluid velocity field and of the inter-fiber contact forces. Fiber orientation is described via a probability density function whose transport equation has the form of a standard advection-diffusion equation with an orientation-dependent rotary diffusion. This equation is solved using a finite difference scheme and the results are presented.

Abstract

This document summarizes the findings of the Accelerator Working Group (AWG) of the International Scoping Study (ISS) of a Future Neutrino Factory and super-beam Facility. The work of the group took place at three plenary meetings along with three workshops, and an oral summary report was presented at the NuFact06 workshop held at UC-Irvine in August, 2006. The goal was to reach consensus on a baseline design for a Neutrino Factory complex. One aspect of this endeavor was to examine critically the advantages and disadvantages of the various Neutrino Factory schemes that have been proposed in recent years., 73 pages, 60 figures

Abstract

Nahua ritual specialists of northern Veracruz, Mexico, portray spirit entities by cutting their images from paper. Paper cutting is an ancient craft in Mesoamerica that traces back to the pre-Hispanic era. The impetus to materialize the spirits in this way is the result of the highly abstract and pantheistic nature of the Nahua religious system. In pantheistic thought, the cosmos itself is the deity and all apparent diversity can be seen as different aspects or manifestations of a seamless sacred unity. The Nahua ritual specialist places the paper figures on elaborate altars where he or she dedicates special offerings to them. The fundamentally economic nature of Nahua ritual exchange is revealed – with the aid of ritual economy – through examination of multiple factors: the symbolic meanings of sacred chanting and altar construction, the role of religion in constituting Nahua ethnic identity in the face of domination by mestizo elites, and the ecological context that renders life precarious for indigenous horticulturalists of this region of Mexico.

Abstract

The rf R&D program for high-gradient, low frequency cavities to be used in muon cooling systems is underway in the Fermilab MUCOOL Test Area. Cavities at 805 and 201 MHz are used for tests of conditioning techniques, surface modification and breakdown studies. This work has the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) as its immediate goal and efficient muon cooling systems for neutrino sources and muon colliders as the long term goal. We study breakdown and dark current production under a variety of conditions.

Abstract

Electromagnetic riveting, used in some aerospace assembly processes, involves rapid deformation, leading to the finished rivet configuration. Analysis of this process is described for the case of an aluminum rivet joining typical aluminum structural elements. The analysis is based on a finite element method that includes the effects of heating, due to rapid plastic deformation of the material, on the material properties. Useful details of material deformation and thermal history and the final rivet and structure configuration and states of stress and strain are obtained. These results have significant implications in the design, implementation, and improvement of practical fastening processes in the aerospace industry.
