Abstract:
The careers of chronically disruptive prisoners are unquestionably problematic for prison staff members but are equivalently inauspicious for the prisoners themselves, who acquire off-putting reputations and must spend increasing portions of time in punitive or administrative segregation. When we review long-term disruptive careers, we are apt to encounter recurrent ineffective interventions and deteriorating sequences of behavior. This is the case even in relatively humane prison systems, though in such settings we also come across junctures at which positive impact has been achieved with ame

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, I delve deeper into the role played by ‘cultures of migration’ in the development of migration aspirations in both Tinghir and Tangier, and how these cultures of migration interact with environmental factors. This chapter builds further on previous insights from migration systems theory, which posits that migration results in multiple flows of material goods, ideas and money (Mabogunje 1970; Levitt 1998). In other words, this theory states that migration results in more than exchanges and flows of people. By building further on the concept of ‘cumulative causation’ (Myrdal 1957), migration systems theory advances that migration results in the transformation of social and economic structures, facilitating more migration. This idea is crucial to fully understand the development of migration aspirations because it pays attention to how contextual feedback loops can either positively or negatively stimulate the further development of migration aspirations (De Haas 2010). Hence, cultures of migration are established through the information sent by emigrants that have left a given region and provide feedback on their migration experiences in the country of destination to their migrant networks living in their region of origin and which ultimately result in shared ideas and beliefs on migration in a particular region (Timmerman et al. 2014).

Full text
Abstract:
Given its inherent nature as fiery transformation, the archaeological traces of past cremation practices are always partial and fragmentary. However, recent advances in archaeological excavation and osteological analyses, and novel theoretical investigations of cremation’s variability, character, and context, have enriched and developed the archaeology of cremation in prehistoric and early historic societies (for a review, see Chapter 1, this volume; see also; Williams 2008, 2015b; Wessman 2010; Cerezo-Román and Williams 2014). For the later first millennium AD, archaeologists persist in underestimating the potential for investigating cremation practices, and this is particularly true of the study of mortuary structures and monuments associated with cremation burials (see also Chapter 4, this volume; Chapter 13, this volume; Williams 2013, 2014a). To some extent, the impoverished archaeological investigation of the architectural dimensions of cremation in particular is understandable. Archaeologists are well acquainted with the fact that burial monuments can be multiphased and become subject to uses and reuses over millennia, and indeed, many early medieval cemeteries focus on, reuse, and adapt, far older monuments (Williams 1997;Wessman 2010). There are also examples of large monumental barrows built over cremation burials, as in the late sixth and early seventh centuries at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, showing that cremation ceremonies could be utilized to make enduring, prominent monuments to commemorate the dead and project remembrance down the generations (Carver 2005). However, the more ephemeral mortuary architectures of the late first millennium AD which characterize the majority of cemeteries in most regions—mounds, ring-ditches, stone-settings, post-holes, and the like—are often damaged or destroyed by postdepositional processes. When burial monuments are identified they often appear to have been inherently modest structures that defy familiar explanations as status-markers and landmarks to project the commemoration of the dead across the landscape and through time. It is often all too tempting for archaeologists to dismiss these structures and refer to cemeteries in which cremation burials occur as ‘flat cemeteries’ or else to kaleidoscope these monuments into a single chronological phase and portray them as ‘collective’ structures. Hence, many archaeological accounts, emphasizing the spectacle and fragmentation of open-air cremation in the human past, wrongly imply, or explicitly stipulate, that cremation is counter-architectural.

Full text
Abstract:
In German, Scandinavian, and Basque, proportional MOST can combine not only with count plural NPs but also with mass NPs, and correlatively allows collective predicates in the nuclear scope. After arguing against Hackl’s and Hoeksema’s superlative-based analyses, we propose that this “cumulative” MOST (MOST<sub>cum</sub>) is a quantificational determiner, which nevertheless differs from MOST<sub>dist</sub>: whereas MOST<sub>dist</sub> compares the cardinalities of two sets, MOST<sub>cum</sub> compares the measures of two entities. The analysis is extended to the proportional reading of MORE in Bulgarian. We also examined majority quantifiers that are not morphologically related to the superlative of MANY/MUCH but nevertheless show the distribution of MOST<sub>cum</sub>: Japanese hotondo and Chinese dabufen. This chapter is theoretically interesting for at least two reasons: it deals with the under-studied area of mass quantification, and attempts an explanation for the correlation between (in)definiteness and the various readings of MOST (superlative, distributive proportional quantifier, cumulative proportional quantifier).

This chapter provides the theoretic background and working hypotheses for the empirical tests that follow in subsequent chapters. The book is informed by substantial literature in several academic subfields, including but not limited to international political economy, international business studies, development economics, and global value chain research. This chapter builds a cumulative theoretic framework for interpreting multinational innovation and comparative institutionalist perspectives. Prior literature and debate inform the hypotheses presented in this chapter, which involve both country and firm level attributes and resulting investment patterns. The chapter considers ideas from international development studies regarding the role of multinational firms in processes of country growth and technological upgrading, theories of the firm and contemporary pressures for polycentric innovation models, and institutionalist perspectives from political science and political economy. This chapter also provides working definitions for key concepts and how institutions might be analytically separated from host country policies. The chapter emphasizes the theoretic support for the causal mechanisms supposed in the various hypotheses.

This chapter examines the first contact between the Nacostine tribe and European explorers and settlers in the area that would become the capital of the United States. The cumulative effects of war, disease, and subjugation decimated the Native Americans of the upper Potomac. Thousands lived in the river valley in 1608, but by 1708 just a few hundred remained – beaten, scattered, and subject to the English Crown. On their abandoned lands, the colonists created a plantation society. The few Native Americans who remained watched in anguish as their hunting grounds and corn fields were transformed by European indentured servants and enslaved Africans into tobacco farms; their trade routes made links in a trans-Atlantic commerce joining the Chesapeake to New England and beyond to Europe. The area that would become nation’s capital was cleared through wars of conquest and settled with coerced labor on stolen land.

Abstract:
Contemporary studies surrounding the land grabbing phenomenon in Africa have revealed two findings. First, the purchase or lease of vast tracts of land from poor, developing countries by wealthier, food-insecure nations has raised deep ethical concern over food security and rural agricultural development. Second, there is the existence of a powerful myth that large-scale land deals are necessary in order to deal with scarcity. Drawing upon extensive contemporary literature on foreign land acquisition and food security, this chapter examines the phenomenon using “rent gap” theory. With an insight provided into understanding the independent layers of land grabbing in Africa, a criterion on what should constitute appropriate procedure for land acquisition is thus supplied. Findings posit that despite insufficiency of food availability in Africa, land grabbing continues regardless of its social and ecological limitations. This chapter has a significant implication for cumulative research on the subject of ethics of foreign land acquisition.

Abstract:
The design of the ANTECH Model 2203 Very High Efficiency Neutron Counter (V-HENC) is a natural progression from the well-proven ANTECH Series 2200 Passive Neutron Drum Monitor used for measuring plutonium in intermediate and low level waste (LLW) 200 litre drums. ANTECH has had considerable experience in the implementation of the base design, originally licensed to ANTECH from the Joint Research Centre at Ispra, Italy. Three Series 2200 systems have been supplied by ANTECH: two are in operation at AWE Aldermaston for waste monitoring, and a third is implemented at the SMP facility at BNFL Sell

Abstract:
Abstract Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is a remarkably successful process for the tar sands (oil sands). Two closely spaced parallel horizontal wells, injector above the producer, form a SAGD well pair. Steam is injected to provide heat to the reservoir oil and mobilize it. The low viscosity oil drains down to the producer under the gravity effect. Parallel well pairs 1000 m long are utilized in the process, spaced 100 m apart horizontally almost in all projects. In this work, an analytical model for the SAGD process is introduced by coupling heat and fluid flow and constitutive equat

Abstract:
Travel time is probably the most important indicator of the level of service of a highway, and it is also the most appreciated information for its users. Administrations and private companies make increasing efforts to improve its real time estimation. The appearance of new technologies makes the precise measurement of travel times easier than never before. However, direct measurements of travel time are, by nature, outdated in real time, and lack of the desired forecasting capabilities. This paper introduces a new methodology to improve the real time estimation of travel times by using the eq
