Abstract:
For the past five years, I have engaged in fieldwork and filming a documentary about Diamond Mountain, a community of Western converts to Tibetan Buddhism in southern Arizona under the leadership of Geshe Michael Roach and Lama Christie McNally. The latter was retreat master and, along with her husband Ian Thorson, in the middle of guiding forty students through a three-year, three-month, three-day silent meditation retreat. But when McNally stabbed Thorson, the Diamond Mountain Board asked both to leave. Feigning departure, the couple sneaked into a small cave just outside the Diamond Mountain property, where two months later Thorson died of dehydration. Stories of scandal, cult and death flooded the media. This essay provides an account of these events, the mistrust of my research that emerged because of the media’s stigmatization of the group, and the type of trust-building necessary to continue my research.

Abstract:
This paper used COMSOL Multiphysics software to simulate and design two kinds of new touch panels with chain and mountain-shaped ITO electrodes, respectively. These two touch panel electrodes were both designed using parallel and vertical capacitance configurations. Compared with traditional common rectangular and diamond-shaped electrodes, it was found in simulation results that parallel and vertical capacitive gains for chain and mountain-shaped electrodes were 30% and 6%, respectively, higher than those for traditional rectangular and diamond-shaped ones. In addition, when the ratio of glass thickness (H) to indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode thickness (h) was larger, the corresponding capacitive gain was smaller.

Abstract:
According to the results of processing satellite images of mining landscapes formed during the extraction and processing of diamond-containing ore, the coefficients of self-restoration of vegetation cover are determined. It has been established that in the mid-mountain and subpolar climate, at intensive rates of open-pit diamond mining, a very slow formation of all types of vegetation cover occurs, which does not meet the requirements of restoring the ecological balance when conducting business operations by diamond mining enterprises.

Abstract:
The collapse of axially compressed cylinders by buckling instability is a classic problem in engineering mechanics. We revisit the problem by considering fully localized post-buckling states in the form of one or multiple dimples. Using nonlinear finite-element methods and numerical continuation algorithms, we trace the evolution of odd and even dimples into one axially localized ring of circumferentially periodic diamond-shaped waves. The growth of the post-buckling pattern with varying compression is driven by homoclinic snaking with even- and odd-dimple solutions intertwined. When the axially localized ring of diamond-shaped buckles destabilizes, additional circumferential snaking sequences ensue that lead to the Yoshimura buckling pattern. The unstable single-dimple state is a mountain-pass point in the energy landscape and therefore forms the smallest energy barrier between the pre-buckling and post-buckling regimes. The small energy barrier associated with the mountain-pass point means that the compressed, pre-buckled cylinder is exceedingly sensitive to perturbations once the mountain-pass point exists. We parameterize the compressive onset of the single-dimple mountain-pass point with a single non-dimensional parameter, and compare the lower-bound buckling load suggested by this parameter with over 100 experimental data points from the literature. Good correlation suggests that the derived knockdown factor provides a less conservative design load than NASA's SP-8007 guideline.

Abstract:
Carapace mites are important regulators of the mineralization of organic residues and the immobilization of various biogens in the soil. In the course of the research conducted on the territory of the Gunib district of the Republic of Dagestan, only 89 species of shell mites belonging to 61 genera and 41 families were identified. New data have been obtained that complement the list of species of shell mites in the Caucasus as a whole. Recently described Liacarus (Dorycranosus) musaevi, and two endemics of the Caucasus – Xenillus sculptrus and Suctobelba cornigera – were noted for region. Among other groups of soil microfauna, shell mites occupy a leading position, both in terms of their number and abundance of species. In studies conducted in mountain systems, it was found that the General pattern is a decrease in the number of microarthropods with an increase in absolute height. Very often, the pattern of changes in the taxonomic richness and population density of the microarthropod complex is diamond-shaped, characterized by maxima in the zone with the most favorable microclimate for a large group of species. From top to bottom, the microarthropod population density and taxonomic richness decrease along the mountain profile. As a result of the study, the maximum population density and abundance of oribatid species is observed in the soil of a birch forest and its gradual decrease as it transitions to grasslands, which is explained by changes in the hydrothermal conditions of soil horizons, both due to an increase in height and due to a change in the nature of vegetation to treeless.

Abstract:
The Orchidaceae family is one of the largest among the angiosperm, with more than 27000 species, 2,500 is endemic to Brazil, 871 species are found in the Brazilian Amazon. In the far north of Brazil, in the state of Roraima, is located the Tepequém Mountains, a Tepuy – mountain top with table shape – with relictual vegetation due to prolonged isolation. Historically, Tepequém was a site of diamond exploration, which caused changes in the landscape. However, with mining decay, ecotourism became the main economic activity. About 68% of Roraima’s territory is composed of conservation areas and indigenous lands, and the Tepequém Mountain is the only Tepuy found outside the protected areas. Thus, this study aims to describe the orchid flora found at Tepequém’s Tepuy, an area of ecological and economic importance for Roraima’s ecotourism. The survey was carried out through expeditions between the years of 2013-2015. The species were photographed, harvested and taken to Embrapa Roraima for identification, exsiccate confection and/or cultivation. The exsiccatae were deposited at Roraima’s Integrated Museum (Museu Integrado de Roraima – MIRR) and the Federal University of Roraima (Universidade Federal de Roraima – UFRR). Any orchid species deposited by other collectors was also considered. Thus, 20 genera and 34 species were registered at Tepequém. The genera with largest representation were the Epidendrum (7 spp.), Scaphyglottis (4 spp.) and Habenaria (3 spp.), with 70% of the other genera presenting one species only. 10% of Roraima’s orchid’s diversity is found at Tepequém. The diversity of habitats – forest, campina and savannah – found at Tepequém’s Tepuy allows the Orchidaceae species diversity and the unique flora with low similarities to other floristic surveys.

Abstract:
Population growth for species with long lifespans and low reproductive rates (i.e., K-selected species) is influenced primarily by both survival of adult females and survival of young. Because survival of adults and young is influenced by habitat quality and resource availability, it is important for managers to understand factors that influence habitat selection during the period of reproduction. My thesis contains two chapters addressing this issue for K-selected species in Utah. Chapter one evaluates habitat selection of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercusurophasianus) on Diamond Mountain during the critical nesting and brood-rearing period. Chapter two address selection of birth sites by bison (Bison bison) on Antelope Island, Utah. We collected micro-habitat data for 88 nests and 138 brood locations of greater sage-grouse from 2010-2012 to determine habitat preferences of nesting and brooding sage-grouse. Using random forests modeling techniques, we found that percent sagebrush, percent canopy cover, percent total shrubs, and percent obscurity (Robel pole) best differentiated nest locations from random locations with selection of higher values in each case. We used a 26-day nesting period to determine an average nest survival rate of 0.35 (95% CI = 0.23 – 0.47) for adults and 0.31 (95% CI = 0.14 – 0.50) for juvenile grouse.Brood sites were closer to habitat edges, contained more forbs and less rock than random locations. Average annual adult female survival across the two-year study period was 0.52 (95% CI= 0.38 – 0.65) compared to 0.43 (95% CI= 0.28 – 0.59) for yearlings.Brooding and nesting habitat at use locations on Diamond Mountain met or exceeded published guidelines for everything but forb cover at nest sites. Adult and juvenile survival rates were in line with average values from around the range whereas nest success was on the low end of reported values. For bison, we quantified variables surrounding 35 birth sites and 100 random sites during 2010 and 2011 on Antelope Island State Park. We found females selected birth sites based on landscape attributes such as curvature and elevation, but also distance to anthropogenic features (i.e., human structures such as roads or trails). Models with variables quantifying the surrounding vegetation received no support.Coefficients associated with top models indicated that areas near anthropogenic features had a lower probability of selection as birth sites. Our model predicted 91% of observed birth sites in medium-high or high probability categories. This model of birthing habitat, in cooperation with data of birth timing, provides biologists with a map of high-probability birthing areas and a time of year in which human access to trails or roads could be minimized to reduce conflict between recreation and female bison.

Abstract:
This thesis has investigated the geological origin of diamonds from the Ural Mountains. A set of inclusion-bearing diamonds from alluvial deposits in the western part of the Urals was characterised on the basis of their morphological features, nitrogen contents and nitrogen aggregation states, carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes, mineral inclusion geochemistry and radiometric isotopic ages of the inclusions. The vast majority of the studied diamonds are rounded dodecahedra, which indicates that the diamond population has experienced major resorption after crystallisation. The majority of the diamonds are affected by radiation damage and display evidence of transportation. Non-abraded diamonds exhibit similar surface features to those abraded, so they are probably of similar origin. The studied inclusion-bearing set of diamonds shares some characteristics with the overall, mostly inclusion-free, diamond population from the Ural Mountains. This similarity in physical characteristics strongly suggests that the Ural diamonds are all part of a single population. A Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy study allowed both the concentration of nitrogen and the aggregation states of this element to be quantified. Diamonds from other known primary deposits in the East European Craton (EEC) have FTIR signatures that do not match that of the studied population. Nitrogen thermometry results suggest that the Ural diamonds probably crystallised under similar pressure-temperature conditions. If a similar overall regime of formation for the Urals alluvial diamonds is considered, then a single primary diamond source or a spatial proximity between primary contributory sources seems likely. The variations in δ15N – δ13C measured in the Ural diamonds of the peridotitic and eclogitic paragenesis suggest derivation from a similar, initially homogenous, mantle carbon source which has been subjected to metasomatic-induced isotopic fractionation. However, for some δ15N-enriched – δ13C-depleted eclogitic diamonds, the possibility of crystallisation from subduction-related metasomatic fluids/melts cannot be excluded. Based on the chemical composition of syngenetic mineral inclusions recovered from the Ural diamonds, the eclogitic paragenesis (60%) dominates over the peridotitic (26%), with a minor websteritic assemblage also present (2%). The remaining 12% are diamonds with sulphide inclusions of unknown paragenesis. The chemistry of the mineral inclusions almost completely overlaps that of previous electron microprobe studies of inclusions in diamonds from worldwide localities. Geothermobarometric calculations show an overall agreement between the equilibration conditions of the three inclusion parageneses. The Ural diamonds crystallised at temperatures of 1050-1300°C, at minimum depths of about 165 km, within a diamondiferous lithosphere extending to at least 230 km at the time of diamond formation. The Re-Os isotope genesis age data for syngenetic sulphide inclusions and the 40Ar/39Ar laser probe eruption ages of syngenetic clinopyroxene inclusions were determined. Six eclogitic sulphide inclusions, two of which coexist in the same diamond, gave an isochron age of 1280 ± 310 Ma which may be associated with rift-related magmatism that affected the EEC at ca. 1.3 Ga. The determined genesis age is also similar to genesis ages reported for eclogitic diamonds from a number of mines in southern Africa, and this is probably indicative of a global diamond formation event at that time. Five eclogitic clinopyroxenes recovered from four diamonds yielded similar 40Ar/39Ar ages averaging 472 ± 28 Ma, which likely approximate the time of source kimberlite/lamproite eruption. This age indicates that the Ural diamonds are not derived either from the diamond-bearing kimberlites of the Siberian craton, nor from presently known Russian and Finnish kimberlite provinces on the EEC. An integrated model for the genesis, eruption and accumulation of the Ural diamonds in the context of the evolution of the EEC is proposed. The Urals placer deposits are mainly confined to 407-397 Ma sedimentary rocks along the western side of these mountains, with diamond size distribution indicating sediment transportation at that time generally from the north-west. The diamondiferous sedimentary accumulation in the Urals is envisaged as being analogous to that presently found along the Namaqualand / Namibian coastal belt in the western margin of southern Africa. During the construction of the Ural Mountains, the diamondiferous sediments became part of the western accretion zone when the EEC united with the Kazakhstan and Siberia plates during late Devonian through to late Triassic times. The evidence presented in this thesis suggests the existence of an undiscovered kimberlite/lamproite primary source, probably on the Volgo-Uralia crustal segment of the EEC, which gave rise to the Urals diamond deposits.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses Lee Smith's fiction, which consistently probes the crises of identity that plague so many contemporary Americans, particularly women. Born on November 1, 1944, in the southwestern Virginia coal-mining town of Grundy, Lee Smith was an only child and a voracious reader. Smith recalls that growing up in Grundy, she consciously tried to conform to the image of an aspiring southern “lady.” Initially Smith wrote about romantic and foreign subjects, but after encountering Eudora Welty's work in a southern literature course, she realized the importance of writing from one's experience. Like other members of her generation of southern writers, Smith creates a full, complex world of characters who confirm some stereotypes and transcend others. Her novels include The Last Day the Dogbushes Bloomed (1968), The Last Day the Dogbushes Bloomed— Something in the Wind (1971), Fancy Strut (1973), Black Mountain Breakdown (1980), Family Linen (1985), Fair and Tender Ladies (1988), Saving Grace (1995), and On Agate Hill (2006).

‘Hidden volcanoes’ highlights ancient volcanoes, which offer crucial perspectives that would not be clear from the study of modern volcanoes alone. Exhumed (uplifted and dissected) volcanoes provide vital glimpses deep inside a volcano, including how they work. They are windows showing what really happens when hot magma interacts with bedrock, ice-sheets, lakes, and deep oceans. Ancient volcanoes also reveal how volcanic processes vary with time. They have enabled us to discover new and awesome styles of eruption. Examples are described, from the highest mountain in Wales, Yr Wyddfa, or Snowdon, which was an explosive caldera volcano that emerged from shallow seas. Also described are ‘Large igneous provinces’, diamond-bearing volcanoes, and the most ancient volcanism on Earth.

Abstract:
You have no doubt heard about blood diamonds, and know that they are not rare red versions of the gemstone, but illicitly mined diamonds used to finance and prolong armed conflicts in some African countries. But have you heard of blue blooded stones? An elaborate marking system known as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme is currently used, although some claim inefficiently, to sort good diamonds (for example, from Botswana) from blood diamonds that should not be allowed into the market. No such scheme is needed for the blue stones named lapis lazuli, as there is only one mine in the world that produces highquality stones—the Sar-e Sang mine in the Kokcha valley in the Badakhshan province in north-eastern Afghanistan—so there is never any doubt about where they come from. The mine is in such a remote area that even prolific travellers like Marco Polo and Sir Richard Burton never made it there, although Polo refers to them in his travels when crossing the river Oxus (also known as the Amu Darya) of which the Kokcha is a tributary: ‘a mountain in that region where the fi nest azure in the world is found.’ A Scottish explorer, John Wood, visited in 1837, but if his book Journey to the Source of the River Oxus is to be believed, it wasn’t exactly a Sunday School excursion either: ‘If you wish not to go to destruction, avoid the narrow valley of Koran [Kokcha],’ he summarized. One who finally made it there was the British journalist Victoria Finlay, author of the wonderful Colour: Travels Through the Paintbox , and, although reaching the mine in the beginning of the 2000s, this was still quite an achievement. Why would anyone endure various kinds of hardships just to see a mine where you can whack out blue stones from the interior of a mountain? Perhaps because these rare stones have achieved tremendous value over the ages, being the hallmark of kings and aristocracy, or because the trade in them covered such distances even in ancient times, or maybe because this mine is possibly the oldest in the world that is still being worked, having been in business for 5,000–6,000 years.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Maksyutov complex is a mid- to late-Paleozoic high- to ultrahigh-pressure (HP-UHP) eclogite-bearing subduction zone terrane in the south Ural Mountains. Previous reports of radial fractures emanating from quartz inclusions in garnet, omphacite, and glaucophane, cuboid graphite pseudomorphs after matrix diamond, and microdiamond aggregates preserved in garnet identified by Raman spectroscopy indicate that parts of the complex were subjected to physical conditions of ∼600 °C and >2.8 GPa for coesite-bearing rocks, and >3.2 GPa for diamond-bearing rocks. Peak UHP eclogite-facies metamorphism took place at ca. 385 Ma, and rocks were exhumed through retrograde blueschist-facies conditions by ca. 360 Ma. Bulk analyses of 18 rocks reflect the presence of mid-oceanic-ridge basalt (MORB), oceanic-island basalt (OIB), and island-arc tholeiite (IAT) basaltic and andesitic series plus their metasomatized equivalents. To more fully constrain the petrotectonic evolution of the complex, we computed isochemical phase equilibria models for representative metabasites in the system Na2O-CaO-K2O-FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O-TiO2 based on our new bulk-rock X-ray fluorescence (XRF) data. Both conventional Fe-Mg exchange thermometry and phase equilibrium modeling result in higher peak equilibrium temperatures than were previously reported for the complex. Pseudosection analysis provides minimum P-T conditions of 650–675 °C and 2.4–2.6 GPa for peak assemblages of the least retrogressed Maksyutov eclogites, whereas Fe-Mg exchange thermometry yields temperatures of 750 ± 25 °C for a pressure of 2.5 GPa. We interpret our new P-T data to reflect a thermal maximum reached by the eclogites on their initial decompression-exhumation stage, that defines a metamorphic field gradient; the relict coesite and microdiamond aggregates previously reported testify to pressure maxima that define an earlier prograde subduction zone gradient. The eclogitic Maksyutov complex marks underflow of the paleo-Asian oceanic plate and does not represent subduction of the Siberian cratonal margin.

Abstract:
Historically, Japanese traditional lampstand 'Andon', was manufactured from paper. And paper folding method was adopted into some Andon or western lampshade design. For example, Yoshimura/Diamond pattern, known as a structure of crashed cylinder, or a structure of building roof, that has been of beneficial use in commercial lampshade products. Yoshimura pattern structure includes a set of skew quadrilaterals which are not on a plane surface and each quadrilateral is constructed with 2 planar triangles. Development of Yoshimura pattern is constructed by one set of horizontal parallel lines at even intervals for valley fold and two sets of oblique parallel lines at even intervals for mountain fold. The author found that similar shape can be constructed from development which includes only mountain fold lines of Yoshimura pattern and this method has various applications. With proposed paper folding method, each skew quadrilateral is constructed by single curved surface. In this paper, the author first defined the principle of the proposed paper folding method, second, explained the. features of the shape made by the proposed method and the luminance distribution on the shape, third, indicated examples of applications of the proposed method. Finally, examples of application of the shape made by SQMF in the field of education are explained.
