<p>Stephanos Tsiodoulos, Comments on a copper engraving of Bortoli</p><p>In this article we present a copper engraving of the Transfiguration of Christ, printed in the printing house of Bortoli, and we attempt to relate it with the village Kalota in Zagori of Epirus. In the central church of the village Kalota we found copies of the afore-mentioned copper engraving. This engraving bears under the representation the inscription: Η ΜΕΤΑΜΟΡΦΩΣΙΣ TOY ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΕΙΣ ΚΑΛΟΤΑ. Also, under the decorative border that surrounds the representation, on the left side, there is the following inscription: Ε'νετίηση Παρά Άντωνίω τω Βόρτολι. The engraving should be dated before the year 1788, in which Bortoli printed his last book. It should be indicated that the central church of the village, which was built or restored in 1736, is dedicated to the Transfiguration of Christ. According to oral testimonies of the inhabitants of Kalota, in the past, every year on the 6th of August, day of the patronal feast of the church, the church wardens used to carry the collection-plare around the churchyard, in which they had placed the copper engraving of the Transfiguration of Christ. Afterwards, according to the procedure of the auction, the person who would offer the largest sum of money would become the possessor of the engraving. The above-mentioned custom stopped in the mid 1950's. The engraving used to be offered aswell to the person who would give the largest sum of money, in order to hold the cross during the procession of the Epitaph on the evening of Good Friday or in order to hold the icon of the Resurrection on the evening of Holy Saturday. Also, this engraving used to be given as a blessing by the church to the newly married couples. According to what we mentioned above, the copper engraving of the Transfiguration of Christ should be related closely with the village Kalota of Epirus.</p>

Recent media coverage of the threatened collapse of the vast Wilkins ice shelf highlights the manner in which the established focus on global warming and the ozone hole has led Antarctica to be well and truly accepted as playing an integral role in global environmental systems. By contrast, histories of the 1950 and 1960s continue still to treat Antarctica largely as, to quote Philip Quigg (1983), ‘a Pole Apart’, that is a marginal region struggling for inclusion on most world maps. Despite the occasional newsworthy item, like the 1952 Anglo-Argentine clash at Hope Bay (Beck 1987: 18–21) or the 1955–1958 British Trans-Antarctic Expedition (Fuchs and Hillary 1958), Antarctic affairs have not been regarded, except perhaps in Argentina, Australia, Chile and New Zealand, as sufficiently mainstream during the 1950s and 1960s to warrant inclusion in national or global histories covering that period. As a result, it remains easy still to gloss over the 1959 Antarctic Treaty as possessing rather limited contemporary significance, and hence to dismiss it as a limited purpose agreement confined to a relatively marginal area. Indeed, for some commentators, the treaty was even interpreted as a lost opportunity in terms of failing either to internationalise the region or to resolve the longstanding Antarctic sovereignty problem.

In the year 2019 were celebrated the thousand years of the foundation of the Zalavár Benedictine Monastery under the Patrocinium of Saint Hadrian the Martyr on the western shore of the Lake Balaton in Hungary, and this is an occasion to contemplate the significance of this place and of this heritage. Though the Abbey is not existent after 1950, its beginnings are more important in the Carolingian Empire, after the Avar Period, as the Salzburg Benedictine missionaries christianized the territory and as the Slavic Prince Pribina came under Carolingian rule. It was this time to found the first church of Saint Hadrian, a Martyr in Nicomedia in the times of Diocletian’s persecution and which relics were translated to Rome in the 5th or 6th Century. The cult became important in this Church, which building was identical with the Roman Curia, i. e. the Senate, and the consecration of this church on September 8th became the feast of the Saint in the Occident. This became a titular church and was the titular church of the Transylvanian Cardinal András Báthory, in the 16th century. Turning to Pribina, he gathered Saints Cyril and Methodius and their pupils in this church and against the opposition of the Archbishops of Salzburg, gained Pontifical permission of Pope Hadrian II to celebrate Christian liturgy in Slavic language in his Province and the nomination of Methodius to Metropolite of Pannonia. This early beginnings were important for the Hungarian christianization and explain why Saint Stephen the first King of Hungary received so easily the Roman blessings, i. e. the Holy Crown and the erection of the Metropoly of Esztergom in his kingdom. In medieval Hungary the name of the kingdom was alternating “Hungary” and “Pannonia”, in Christian inter- pretation “Pannonia Sacra”. This aspect could help to concile Slavic (e. g. Slovakian) and Hungarian interpretation of their common history. This history is living today in the use of the word “Church”, which originates of the Latin word “Castellum” (etymon of the city name “Keszthely” at the Lake Balaton), which is in the Western Slavic languages: “Kosciól” (Polish), “Kostel” (Czech and Slovak). In Polish means both as building and as gathering of people, in Czech and Slovak only as building. In Hungarian the use of the Latin word “templum” is rooted, as building. Common heritage of the ancient Roman word “Castellum”.

In reading the review by Snyder and Fleming in which they emphasized “those developments which we deem significant or which we have learned are held significant by our colleagues,” I was dumbfounded by the total absence of any mention of Humble Oil & Refining Co.’s leadership in the development of the two‐receiver, continuous velocity logging tool. That tool employed the techniques contained in W. D. Mounce’s patent number 2 200 476 on “Measurements of acoustical properties of materials” which was applied for in December, 1935, and approved in May, 1940. The Humble Seismic Velocity Logger was used to log a shallow core hole near Ozona, TX, on October 18, 1949, and the first deep hole velocity logging operation was achieved on March 5, 1951, in the Ida Rosenbaum no. 1 well in Washington County, Texas. The formal announcement of Humble’s success was in the paper “Seismic velocity logging” by W. D. Mounce, C. L. Hubbard, C. J. Charske, and H. P. Kuppers of Humble’s Geophysics Research Section, presented on November 20, 1951, at the Fifth Annual Midwestern Meeting of the SEG in Dallas, TX.

In 2020, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) celebrates 90 years of research, education, and exploration of the World Ocean. Since inception this has included Arctic studies. In fact, WHOI’s first technical report is on the oceanographic data obtained during the submarine “Nautilus” polar expedition in 1931. In 1951 and 1952, WHOI scientists supervised the collection of hydrographic data during the U.S. Navy SkiJump I & II expeditions utilizing ski-equipped aircraft landings in the Beaufort Sea, and inferred the Beaufort Gyre circulation cell and existence of a mid-Arctic ridge. Later classified studies, particularly concerning under-ice acoustics, were conducted by WHOI personnel from Navy and Air Force ice camps. With the advent of simple satellite communications and positioning, WHOI oceanographers began to deploy buoys on sea ice to obtain surface atmosphere, ice, and upper ocean time series data in the central Arctic beginning in 1987. Observations from these first systems were limited technologically to discrete depths and constrained by power considerations, satellite throughput, as well as high costs. As technologies improved, WHOI developed the drifting Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) to obtain vertically continuous upper ocean data several times per day in the ice-covered basins and telemeter the data back in near real time to the lab. Since the 1980s, WHOI scientists have also been involved in geological, biological, ecological and geochemical studies of Arctic waters, typically from expeditions utilizing icebreaking vessels, or air supported drifting platforms. Since the 2000s, WHOI has maintained oceanographic moorings on the Beaufort Shelf and in the deep Canada Basin, the latter an element of the Beaufort Gyre Observing System (BGOS). BGOS maintains oceanographic moorings via icebreaker, and conducts annual hydrographic and geochemical surveys each summer to document the Beaufort Gyre freshwater reservoir that has changed significantly since earlier investigations from the 1950s–1980s. With the experience and results demonstrated over the past decades for furthering Arctic research, WHOI scientists are well positioned to continue to explore and study the polar oceans in the decades ahead

The Czesław Horain collection in the Archive of the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum in London as a source of studies on the history of Poles in the Holy Land Czesław Horain (1904–1966), an engineer and amateur historian, resided in Palestine from 1940 until his death, arriving there as a war refugee. He collected materials about Poles in the Holy Land for many years. He was the author of the pioneering unpublished work entitled Bio-bibliografia polsko-palestyńska generalna (A.D. 990–1950), which he wrote in Jerusalem. The biobibliography contains lists of printed works and manuscripts, as well as documentation concerning any Poles who ever visited the Holy Land. The Horain collection, in the form of index cards and the collector’s notes and comments, included over 15,000 items. In 1993, part of the collection, previously kept in Jerusalem, was brought to the Archive of the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum in London. It is kept in the fonds with the reference number Kol. 551. The article aims to provide a closer look at this fonds, to answer what its subject matter is and what type of materials it contains, as well as where and when the group of documents was created and according to what criteria it was assembled. So far, the collection has not been studied or cited by historians. It should be introduced into scientific circulation because it considerably improves the current state of knowledge about the history of Poles in Palestine. Streszczenie: Czesław Horain (1904–1966), z wykształcenia inżynier, z zamiłowania historyk, przebywał w Palestynie od 1940 r. aż do śmierci. Trafił tam jako uchodźca wojenny. Przez wiele lat zbierał materiały dotyczące Polaków w Ziemi Świętej. W czasie pobytu w Jerozolimie opracował pionierską, ale nieogłoszoną drukiem „Bio-bibliografię polsko-palestyńską generalną (A.D. 990–1950)”. Zawierała ona wykazy prac drukowanych i rękopiśmiennych, a także dokumentację dotyczącą Polaków, którzy kiedykolwiek przewinęli się przez Ziemię Świętą. Biobibliografia, w formie fiszek i materiałów warsztatowych, obejmowała ponad 15 tys. pozycji. W 1993 r. część zbiorów, przechowywana dotąd w Jerozolimie, trafiła do Archiwum Instytutu Polskiego i Muzeum im. gen. Sikorskiego w Londynie. Stanowi zespół oznaczony sygnaturą Kol. 551. Artykuł jest próbą przybliżenia tego zespołu. Stara się odpowiedzieć, co jest przedmiotem zbioru i jakiego rodzaju materiały zawiera, gdzie i kiedy ten zbiór powstał, jakie były kryteria jego gromadzenia. Jak dotąd kolekcja nie została rozpoznana przez badaczy. Powinna wejść w obieg naukowy, ponieważ w znaczącym stopniu uzupełnia stan wiedzy o dziejach Polaków w Palestynie.

Full textAbstract:
The years from 1890 to 1905 were tumultuous ones for church-state relations in France. The Third Republic (1870–1940) sought a more secular state while remaining ever mindful that the majority of French were at least nominally Roman Catholic. Anticlericalism became the unifying theme of an otherwise factious government, and a formal separation of church and state took place in 1905. The church in France, for its part, dreamed of reviving its former power and influence. Some in the church looked back and saw the restoration of the monarchy as the way to realize the dream; others worked to establish a presence in the modern world of factories and department stores. All were concerned with the decline in the number of communicants and the growth of socialism. Feeling threatened and increasingly forced into a defensive stance, the church determined to hold ground and, periodically, even to go on the offensive.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryThe concept of marriage squeeze expects a positive association between marriage formation and the availability of preferred mates. Previous research to test the hypothesis has had mixed results owing to inconsistent marriage measures, inconsistent age focuses and insufficient attention to migration. This study derives kinetics equations of marriage formation to link cohort age-specific mate availability to migration-adjusted marriage rate/incidence, a measure in contrast to nominal marriage rate. On testing the equations with Japanese census data for 1920–1940, it is found that, in female cohorts, mate availability impacts first marriage rate at the life-course stage from 15–19 to 20–24 years, but not at later stages. Among young females, the decline in mate availability accounted for about 21% of the decline in first marriage rate over the period 1920–1940, when there was a trend towards later but not less marriage in Japan. The study suggests that the flexibility of mate/spouse choice in females varies along the marriageable life course and is more manifest at older ages. At young ages, however, the marriage squeeze hypothesis could hold, presumably because young women are evolutionarily shaped to be choosier, perhaps postponing their marriages when preferred mates are in short supply.

Hanya Holm arrived in the United States in September 1931 to open the New York Wigman School, created under the patronage of impresario Sol Hurok. On the heels of Mary Wigman's first, highly acclaimed U.S. tour from 1930 to 1931, interest in the Wigman method was high among American dancers, and a small staff from the Wigman Central Institute in Dresden, led by Holm, were sent to New York to capitalize on it. This chapter counters the standard narrative of Holm's assimilation and Americanization. Focusing on Holm's writings during her early years in the United States, it demonstrates how she saw her New World milieu through an Old World lens, conceptualizing the United States as a fragmented society (Gesellschaft) in need of a community that integrated its members and that dance could provide (Tanzgemeinschaft).

This chapter documents more experimental changes in Wolff's compositional oeuvre, as well as certain new milestones in his life. While working in the army, Wolff continued to develop his musicianship through prose polemics and new compositional strategies. In 1962, he reached a new threshold in his experimental evolution, as he began a two-year span of writing only pieces with unspecified instrumentation. In addition, Wolff's academic and family moorings had begun to shift. Family-wise, he would marry Hope (“Holly”) Nash at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Royalton in 1965, develop an interest in electric guitar, and witness the birth of his firstborn, Christian Mayhew (“Hew”). Career-wise, Wolff's teaching contract with Harvard would not be renewed, which later provided him with the opportunity to apply for a position teaching classics and music at Dartmouth.

Full textAbstract:
In 1970, due to increasing public concern about the environment, a dramatic series of bipartisan actions were taken to expand the national government's efforts to control pollutants. In that year, the Congress and President Nixon established two key federal agencies to address the nation's growing environmental problems: the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). But despite this initial recognition of the pressing problems presented by environmental degradation, support for related policymaking and administration waxed and waned over the next thirty-five years, as other domestic and foreign policy problems rose to the top of the public and legislative agendas. What does the future hold for environmental policy in the United States, given the highly polarized politics surrounding the issue today? In this book, James K. Conant and Peter J. Balint examine what happened to the CEQ and EPA between 1970 and 2010 by using changes in leadership and budgetary resources as key indicators of the agencies' vitality and capacity for implementing pollution control laws. They also examine correlations between the agencies' fortunes and various social, political, and economic variables. The authors conclude with several scenarios about what the future holds for these important environmental agencies.

This chapter focuses on Ayben Özçalkan, who made her mark as a seventeen-year-old by rapping on her older brother's CD recording in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1990. She developed her own style and technique as a young rap artist, even though she risked bringing disapproval to her family by performing in a male-dominated genre. After putting her career on hold as she cared for her dying mother, Ayben then relaunched herself as a rapper, with multiple appearances on TV, to become the personality that she is today. She overtly tackles women's issues in her performances through her lyrics that deal explicitly with the treatment of women in Turkey.

The disparate approaches to English pastoralism considered within this book—whether evoking scenes and characters from classical poetry, depicting an imaginary past or a hoped-for future, responding to the landscape, commenting on contemporary social and political challenges, providing spiritual sustenance for the living, or eulogizing the dead—firmly banish outdated clichés of it as little more than folky-wolky roister-doistering. Instead, pastoralism stands revealed as a subtle and flexible expressive mode capable of transcending the circumstances and surroundings of its creation, conveyed by a distinctive and highly adaptable array of stylistic traits. But in the wake of Finzi’s death in 1956 and Vaughan Williams’s only two years later, English pastoral music fell into relative obscurity. Composers who had written pastoral works in previous decades (including Howells, Ireland, and Bliss) had either largely turned away from the idiom or limited it to certain smaller-scale or niche contexts (such as church music, in Howells’s case). Meanwhile, the rise of both a prominent British avant-garde musical movement during the later 1950s and an extraordinarily vital pop music scene in the following decade made it difficult for the older, less demonstrative pastoral style to hold the public or critical imagination....

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSince 1990 Jeanne Louise Calment has held the record for human longevity. She was born on 21 February 1875, became the longest-lived human on 12 May 1990 when she was 115.21 and died on 4 August 1997 at age 122.45 years. In this chapter, we use data available on 25 September 2017 on people who reached age 110, supercentenarians, to address the following questions: How likely is it that a person has reached age 122.45? How unlikely is it that Calment’s record has not yet been broken? How soon might it be broken? Assuming a constant annual probability of death of 50% after age 110, we found that the probability that a person who survived to age 110 would have lived to 122.45 by 25 September 2017 is 17.1%. Furthermore, we calculated that there was only a 20.3% chance that Calment’s record would have been broken after 1997 but before 2017. Finally, we estimated that there is less than a 50% chance that someone will surpass Calment’s lifespan before 2045. Jeanne Louise Calment’s record is exceptional but not impossible. It does not provide evidence that her lifespan is an upper limit to human lifespans.

No analysis of the history of the community college movement in Massachusetts can begin without a discussion of some of the peculiar features of higher education in that state. Indeed, the development of all public colleges in Massachusetts was, for many years, inhibited by the strength of the state’s private institutions (Lustberg 1979, Murphy 1974, Stafford 1980). The Protestant establishment had strong traditional ties to elite colleges—such as Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Williams, and Amherst—and the Catholic middle class felt equally strong bonds to the two Jesuit institutions in the state: Boston College and Holy Cross (Jencks and Riesman 1968, p. 263). If they had gone to college at all, most of Massachusetts’s state legislators had done so in the private system. Private college loyalties were not the only reasons for opposition to public higher education. Increased state spending for any purpose was often an anathema to many Republican legislators, and even most urban “machine” Democrats were unwilling to spend state dollars where the private sector appeared to work well enough (Stafford and Lustberg 1978). As late as 1950, the commonwealth’s public higher education sector served fewer than ten thousand students, just over 10 percent of total state enrollments in higher education. In 1960, public enrollment had grown to only 16 percent of the total, at a time when 59 percent of college students nationwide were enrolled in public institutions (Stafford and Lustberg 1978, p. 12). Indeed, the public sector did not reach parity with the private sector until the 1980s. Of the 15,945 students enrolled in Massachusetts public higher education in 1960, well over 95 percent were in-state students. The private schools, by contrast, cast a broader net: of the nearly 83,000 students enrolled in the private schools, more than 40 percent were from out of state (Organization for Social and Technical Innovation 1973). The opposition to public higher education began to recede in the late 1950s. Already by mid-decade, a large number of urban liberals had become members of the state legislature, and a new governor, Foster Furcolo, had been elected in 1956 on an activist platform.

Full textAbstract:
Peter Malcolm Holt (1918–2006), a Fellow of the British Academy, was an historian of the Sudan, of the Middle East more widely, and of the development of Arabic studies in early modern England. Born at Leigh in Lancashire, he went to Lord Williams's Grammar School at nearby Thame, and then read History at University College, Oxford from 1937 to 1940. Having obtained a Diploma of Education (1941), he joined the Education Department of the Government of the Sudan, where he worked as a secondary school teacher and inspector. In the year before the Sudan became independent in 1956, Holt was appointed as a Lecturer in the History Department of the School of Oriental and African Studies. Articles investigating aspects of the earlier period of Sudanese history represent part of his scholarly output during the 1960s. While the main body of Holt's academic research occupied three, approximately successive, phases (the Sudan, Egypt under Ottoman rule, and the early Mamluk sultanate in Egypt and Syria), the development of Arabic studies in seventeenth-century England remained an abiding interest.

This Chapter is the first of two that describe efforts to understand the mental health and related impacts of the conflict in Northern Ireland, often referred to as The Troubles. The Chapter covers the period from the outbreak of violence in the late 1960’s up until the period around the peace accord, the Belfast Agreement (or Good Friday Agreement) of April 1998. The early studies reveal little, if any, major effects on the wellbeing and mental health of the population, but as the years go by, evidence starts to build of the impact of the violence, particularly as the ceasefires of the early and mid 1990’s take hold. The developing understanding of the impact was due in part to the evolution of methods and approaches being used by researchers - which is discussed in more detail at the end of Chapter 5.

This chapter reconstructs the demise of the Catholic utopia of “revolution” that dated back to Europe’s fin-de-siècle. This is a story of how Stalinism teased out and laid bare the exclusionary, integralist elements that had been part and parcel of Catholic “revolution” from the start. For the Catholic socialists of Dziś i Jutro (renamed PAX in 1952), the Stalinist years were, paradoxically, a moment of unparalleled possibility. While their countrymen languished in prisons or hid in forests, Poland’s Catholic socialists had the opportunity—with the support of Western European allies like Esprit’s Jean-Marie Domenach—to propose new avenues for engagement in public life. In the end, however, the 1954 publication of Bolesław Piasecki’s magnum opus Essential Questions met with condemnation from the Holy Office; his movement’s allies abroad, too, were on the defensive against Rome. At the same time, PAX’s postwar generation, led by Tadeusz Mazowiecki, broke dramatically with Stalinism. Integralism’s avatars—anti-Semitism and anti-Germanism—had guided transnational Catholic “revolution” away from Aquinas and toward Marx. In the end, PAX’s run as the definitive laboratory of Catholic “revolution” had ended, leaving integralism and heresy.

This chapter explores the musical tastes of the motor-bike boys. Pop music was a manifest and ever-present part of the environment of the motor-bike boys: it pervaded their whole culture. However, the motor-bike boys had very specific tastes that were not part of the current pop music scene, and were not catered for in the on-going mass-media sources. They liked the music of the early rock 'n' roll period between 1955 and 1960, especially that of Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. By current standards in the commercial market and the pop music provided by mass-media channels, their tastes were at least ten years out of date. By deliberate choice, then, and not by the accident of a passive reception, they chose this music. This reveals the dialectical capacity which early rock 'n' roll had to reflect, resonate, and return something of real value to the motor-bike boys.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the entangled relations of a contemporary and post- traditional festival with a much older festive substrate associated with Holy Week and Carnival. In this sense it is not intended as a systematic study of the Iberoamerican Theater Festival of Bogotá (ITFB), much less as a summary of its more than two decade long history. My more modest goal is to read this festival as a material and rhetorical dispositif arising in response to a social crisis (Castro Gómez, 2011), closely related to what I have called elsewhere regimes of festive alteration (Vignolo, 2015: 138-159): 1 The fiesta-bonanza, distinguished by excess and associated with human, territorial, and resource exploitation on the frontier of capitalist expansion (Braudel, 2002; Taussig, 1980: xii). 2 the fiesta-revolution, dominated by the trope of inversion and aiming to undermine the status quo, disrupt the social order, and scramble established dichotomies (Bakhtin, 1984; Eco, 1984). 3 The fiesta-passion, where the ritual sacrifice of a savior figure provides the community with a chance to separate from the conflicts that threaten its unity, through the trope of transfiguration. (Girard 1977; Esposito, 2003). Intertwined, superimposed, and interarticulated, they encompass practically all the festive events of the last 30 years in Colombia, it would be possible to trace their genealogy back to colonial times (Vignolo, 2015: 139).

Abstract Chun Doo-hwan led a coup in 1979, eventually establishing a new period of dictatorial rule. However, South Koreans demanded democracy, with the Gwangju Uprising of 1980 symbolizing this demand. The Chun government's brutal crackdown in Gwangju set the tone for the dictator's rule. Over the following years, South Korea would once again achieve high rates of economic growth and the ranks of the middle class continued to grow. However, students, workers, women groups, and, eventually, white-collar professionals continued to demand democracy even as their economic conditions improved. The US also put pressure on South Korea to democratize. Eventually, the Chun government had to concede to domestic demands and announced that a democratic transition would take place. In 1987, South Korea would hold its first free elections in decades.

This chapter presents the author's account of Peruvian songstress Yma Sumac. Sumac is known for her four-octave voice and for launching the musical category known as exotica, a cinematic fusion of international styles that allowed mid-twentieth-century American audiences a taste of the mysterious and the remote. For the author, a Peruvian kid who grew up in Southern California, Sumac was a rare representation of the Andean in US popular culture. Xtabay, the hit album from 1950 that introduced Sumac to international audiences, seemed like otherworldly evidence of her power. In 2017, eight years after her death at the age of eighty-six, Sumac remains the subject of fan sites, Pinterest pages, and Facebook groups, and she has inspired a veritable rabbit hole of lip sync videos on YouTube.

Résumé: Né à Bakou en 1913 Georges Candilis est un architecte d’origine grecque qui étudie à l’Ecole Supérieure Polytechnique d’Athènes où il rencontre Le Corbusier en 1933 lors du 4e congrès des CIAM. Arrivé à Paris en 1945 il intègre l’Atelier de Le Corbusier où il travaille exclusivement sur les études et le chantier de l’Unité d’Habitation de Marseille. Après avoir été chargé de représenter Le Corbusier au 7e CIAM à Bergamo en 1949 Candilis va se rendre au Maroc où il va construire des nombreuses opérations en qualité de directeur de l’ATBAT Afrique et de membre du groupe GAMMA. Il va se révéler un des acteurs du Team X assurant le passage des CIAM au Team X dont il organisera 5 réunions entre 1960 et 1977. De retour en France en 1955 Candilis va s’associer avec les architectes Woods et Josic. L’équipe va remporter le concours Million et construire près de 4000 logements à Bagnols sur Cèze, Toulouse et en région parisienne. D’autres concours vont suivre en France et à l’étranger, l’équipe construira ainsi l’université libre de Berlin. Par la suite Candilis assure seul la mission d’architecte en chef de la station de Leucate Barcares (1962-1976) et entre 1970 et 1978 il est chargé de plusieurs projets au Moyen Orient. Parallèlement Candilis est impliqué dans la diffusion de l’architecture dès 1953 comme membre du comité de rédaction de revues et dans l’enseignement en qualité de professeur à partir de 1963. Il s’éteint à Paris le 10 mai 1995. Abstract: Born in Baku in 1913 Georges Candilis is an architect of Greek origin who studied at the Polytechnic School of Athens where he met Le Corbusier in 1933 at the 4th Congress of CIAM. Arrived in Paris in 1945 he joined the Atelier of Le Corbusier where he works exclusively on studies and the site of the Unité d’habitation in Marseilles. After being appointed to represent Le Corbusier at the 7th CIAM in Bergamo in 1949 Candilis will travel to Morocco where he will build many operations as Director of ATBAT Africa and a member of the GAMMA group. It will be one of the actors of Team X and ensure the transition from CIAM to Team X for which he will hold 5 meetings between 1960 and 1977. Back in France in 1955 Candilis will partner with architects Alexis Josic and Shadrach Woods. The team will win the Million competition and build nearly 4,000 housing units in Bagnols sur Cèze, Toulouse and around Paris. Other competitions will follow in France and abroad, the team will thus build the Free University in Berlin. Subsequently Candilis assumes alone the chief architect mission of Leucate Barcares station (1962-1976) and between 1970 and 1978 he was responsible for several projects in the Middle East. In parrallel Candilis is involved in the diffusion of architecture since 1953 as an editorial board member of reviews and in architectural education with a grade of Professor since 1963. He died in Paris on May 10, 1995. Mots-clés: CIAM, Team X, Enseignement, Habitat, Tige, Web. Keywords: CIAM, Team X, Education, Housing, Stem, Web. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.664

Resumen: Tras crear y desarrollar durante siete años diecinueve poemas manuscritos, que hoy en día son considerados síntesis de su pensamiento, Le Corbusier publicó en 1955 su Poème de l´Angle Droit. Al estudiar este poema reconocemos en él los principales temas presentes en su trayectoria, así como algunos elementos —la espada, la nube y la estrella— que aparecen en su obra pictórica y arquitectónica. La presente comunicación pretende desvelar las conexiones que se establecen entre uno de estos elementos en concreto, como es la imagen de la estrella, y su incorporación al proceso de proyecto lecorbusieriano. Se trata de analizar cómo este tema, que se repite de forma obsesiva, configura imágenes que permanecen en las estrategias arquitectónicas que llevó a cabo el maestro suizo. La estrella habla de faro, de guía, de motor dentro de un proceso de viaje. Es el elemento que representa la movilidad del cosmos, que rige ese carácter de repetición ligado al arte; una señal que guía al viajero y define el itinerario que deben seguir sus pasos, que nos hace pensar en una brillante luz y en la distancia entre lo real y lo imaginado. Y, sobre todo, es la referencia presente en edificios, que condensaban así reflexiones que daban coherencia y unidad a las distintas opciones del proyecto. Abstract: Following a seven year period dedicated to the creation and development of nineteen manuscript poems, which today are considered a synthesis of his thinking, in 1955 Le Corbusier published his Poème de l´Angle Droit. The study of this poem reveals the principal themes that dominated his trajectory, as well as a series of elements, namely the sword, the cloud and the star, which appear in his pictorial and architectural work. This paper aims to shed light on the connections established between one of these elements in particular —the star— and its incorporation into Lecorbuserian method of architectural design. It seeks to analyse how this item is repeated obsessively, forming images which remain rooted in the architectural strategies developed by the Swiss architect. The star speaks of a lighthouse, a guide, a driving force that spurs on the journey. It is the element that represents the mobility of the cosmos, which governs the nature of repetition linked to art; a signal that guides the traveler and traces the route their steps must take them, leading us to think of a bright light and the distance that separates the real and the imagined. And above all, it is the reference in those buildings that condensed the reflections that gave coherence and unity to the various project options.

Full textAbstract:
The catalytic destruction of ozone by components of the odd nitrogen (NOy), odd chlorine (CℓOy), and odd hydrogen (HOy) chemical families of the middle atmosphere has been a concern for many years. Key components of NOy were observed by experiments on the Nimbus 7, SAGE, and SME satellites. These data provided answers to a number of important scientific questions, but they also raised other issues which remain unanswered today. Middle atmosphere research has been further sharpened by the discovery of the springtime Antarctic ozone hole. This phenomenon 1s believed to occur because of chlorine catalyzed ozone destruction aided by heterogenous chemistry processes which are enhanced in the polar regions by the presence of polar stratospheric clouds (Solomon, 1988). Much higher levels of active chlorine are observed 1n the Antarctic winter - spring period (Solomon et al., 1987) than at lower latitudes, and consistent with this, the HCℓ to HF ratio is smaller. The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) complement of measurements has been designed to provide further and more comprehensive NOy and CℓOy observations over a long time period in order to address the outstanding scientific issues.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of site characterization is quite complex, especially for deep radiological contamination. This article illustrates the added value of the geostatistical processing on a real application case dealing with grounds of facilities partially dismantled at the end of the 1950s in Fontenay-aux-Roses CEA Center (France). 12 years ago, a first exploratory drill-hole confirmed the presence of a deep radiological contamination (more than 4m deep). More recently, 8 additional drill-holes failed to delineate the contamination extension. The integration of the former topography and other geological data led to the realization of 10 additional drillholes. This final stage significantly improved the characterization of the radiological contamination, which impacted the remediation project and the initially estimated volumes.

Full textAbstract:
It has been known for many years that the middle atmosphere (10 to 100 km) ozone distribution is controlled in part by catalytic cycles of the kind: X + O3 → X + O2 concurrent with XO + O → X + O2, giving the net result O + O3 → 2O2; i.e., a net ozone destruction. The catalyst, X, in these reactions is usually NO, OH, or Cℓ. The reactive N−, H−, and Cℓ− containing gases can be conveniently grouped into chemical families, often referred to as HOy, NOy, and CℓOy, where the main elements are H, OH, HO2, and H2O2 for HOy; N, NO, NO2, HNO3, N2O5, and HNO4 for NOy; and Cℓ, CℓO, HCℓ, HOCℓ, and CℓONO2 for CℓOy. Figure 1 is a simplified chemistry diagram showing catalytic cycles. The time scale for chemical steady state to be established within these families is generally quite short and much less than transport time scales. Thus, theoretical steady-state arguments allow the distribution within a family to be calculated. The odd hydrogen family is important throughout the atmosphere. It dominates the photochemical destruction of ozone above about 45 km, and it is also very important in the lower stratosphere (where the photochemical time scale is long). Furthermore, OH and HO2 are involved in the production and destruction of the important reservoirs HNO3, HNO4, HCℓ, and HOCℓ, which are formed by interactions between chemical families.

A mediados del siglo ХХ, en la ciudad de Astaná se realizaron grandes inversiones en la infraestructura ferroviaria y en programas de desarrollo agro-industrial que incrementaron la importancia de su papel territorial. Todo ello tuvo una gran resonancia en la transformación de la estructura urbana entre 1957 (Primer plan general de la ciudad) y 1987 (Último plan general en el periodo soviético) cuando, fueron realizados los planes generales para construir una nueva ciudad. Hoy en día, en el contexto de la ciudad contemporánea hay un intento de olvidar aquellas ideas generándose un descuido de los valores importantes de la estructura urbana heredada. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo, a través del análisis de la evolución de los planes y manzanas, profundizar en el conocimiento del modelo de la ciudad planteado y sus características espaciales que permita aportar nuevos materiales para la intervención urbana actual. In the middle of ХХth century, in the Astana city large investments in rail infrastructure and programs of agro-industrial development increased the importance of its territorial paper. All this had a great impact on the transformation of urban structure between 1957 (first general plan of the city) and 1987 years (the last general plan in the Soviet period), when were made general plans to build a new city. Today, in the context of the contemporary city, there is an attempt to forget those ideas which generate inattention of the important values of the inherited urban structure. The goals of this article are through the analysis of the evolution of plans and blocks, deepen in the knowledge of the proposed city model and its spatial characteristics that allows provide new materials for today's urban intervention.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Bahrain Oil Field ("Bahrain Field"), wherein the first oil discovery was made in the Gulf region in 1932, is now in a mature stage of development. Mauddud is the major oil-producing reservoir in the Bahrain Field, situated in an anticlinal feature of the middle cretaceous period. This is a highly undersaturated, low-dip, layered, heavily faulted, and preferentially oil-wet reservoir. Crestal gas injection (GI) in Mauddud has continued to be the dominant drive mechanism since 1938, making it the first improved recovery project in the Arabian Gulf region. This paper summarizes the performance of nearly 84 years of gas injection in Mauddud reservoir. Performance-based analysis is carried out using different analytical techniques to determine voidage replacement and maximum gas-cap expansion rate to avoid gas overrunning and injection requirements. Volumetric sweep is estimated using volume of gas injected and gas cycled. Recovery is calculated based on material balance analysis using hydrocarbon pore volume (HCPV), gas injected, free gas-cap volume, and volume of residual oil in gas-cap (VOR). Semilog analysis of free gas/oil ratio (GOR) versus cumulative oil (Np) yields swept pore volume and moveable oil in different areas. Gas management strategy is devised based on wells to be shut-in, cut-off GOR, oil deferred, gas cycling limit, and remediation of high GOR wells with gas shut-off workovers. Optimum number of infill wells is evaluated based on NPV (net present value) for both vertical and horizontal completion. Gas injection gravity drainage is an efficient mechanism in the Mauddud reservoir. Based on gas expansion rate to avoid gas overrunning, maximum GI rate is 652 MMscf/D. The volumetric sweep by gas is around 80%, giving a 50% recovery in gas-invaded areas. Critical gravity drainage oil rate per well is 383 STB/D. The average cycling of gas was 60% initially during 1970's, declined to 50% during 1986 to 2000, and currently increased to over 80%. The cumulative gas cycling is around 70%. Areas B, D, G, and H have the highest remaining mobile oil and should be the focus for infill drilling. A GOR cut-off of 80,000 scf/STB involves 97 wells, resulting in a gas reduction of 200 MMscf/D and an oil rate of 1,600 STB/D. A curtailment of free gas production of 100 MMscf/D will reduce the gas cycling from 87% to 70%. Cased hole horizontal well trial is promising based on workovers of open-hole horizontal well and newly drilled horizontal well trial with cemented liner. The development of Mauddud with a mix of both deviated/vertical and horizontal wells will reduce the number of wells in the tight spacing drilling campaign and provide robust economics. The methodology and analytical techniques described in this paper can be used for performance-based analysis of a large immiscible gas injection project.

В статье выясняется происхождение белокаменной гробницы из Владимиро-Суздальского музея-заповедника, которая приписывалась святому князю Александру Невскому. Поместиться в ней мог только человек, рост которого не превышал 156 см. Князь, согласно Житию, составленному через 20 лет после его смерти, отличался высоким ростом. Его первоначальное погребение находилось в соборе Рождественского монастыря г. Владимира. В «Описании древних гробниц» первой половины XVII в. в соборе упоминаются, кроме Александра Невского, еще три погребения неизвестных лиц. По описям XIX в., после переноса мощей святого в 1723 г. в Петербург о них напоминала только решетка в форме гроба. В 1930 г. при сносе собора, перестроенного в XIX в., под его фундаментом обнаружились 4 белокаменные гробницы. Одна из них оказалась во Владимирском музее. На фотографии, хранящейся в музее, запечатлена гробница из Рождественского собора с останками человека. Именно в ней можно предполагать мнимую гробницу Александра Невского. The article reveals the origin of the white stone tomb from the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-reserve, which was attributed to the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky. It could only fit a man whose height did not exceed 156 cm Prince, according to the Life, compiled 20 years after his death, was of high growth. His initial burial was in the Cathedral of the Nativity monastery of Vladimir. In the “Description of ancient tombs” the first half of the XVII century in the Cathedral are mentioned, in addition to Alexander Nevsky, the three burials of unknown persons. According to descriptions of the nineteenth century, after the transfer of the relics of the Saint in 1723 in Petersburg, they resembled only a lattice in the shape of a coffin. In 1930, during the demolition of the Cathedral, rebuilt in the XIX century, 4 white-stone tombs were found under its Foundation. One of them was in the Vladimir Museum. The photo, stored in the Museum, shows the tomb of the Nativity Cathedral with the remains of a man. It is possible to assume the imaginary tomb of Alexander Nevsky in it.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract K field is a green field in East Malaysia with prolific gas reserves that is being developed with six high rate gas producing wells from high temperature (190 °C) carbonate reservoir. Tubular material feasibility study is one of the key subjects of scrutiny when it comes to completing wells in high temperature environment coupled with existence of significant level of H2S and CO2 contents. Material testing was conducted at the specified test environments (102 bar CO2 + 120ppm H2S) and load cases to assess susceptibility of Martensitic Stainless Steel to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC), corrosion rate and compatibility with completion brine. The aim was to optimize the material selection that is fit for purpose (lower completion and flow-wetted area of production casing) and reduce well cost up to USD 2.5 million. The base case of material selection for flow-wetted section is 17CR110 ksi, which meets the design requirements of these wells based on fit for purpose test conducted in the data base. Flow-wetted section in this case is production liner and flow-wetted section of production casing below production packer. Super 13CR -110 ksi and 15CR125 ksi material grades were considered for design optimization for this section of interest. Four Point Bend Method was used for SCC test sets while weight loss method for corrosion rate measurement. For brine compatibility test, calcium bromide (without additive) was used as test solution for 17CR 110 ksi, 15CR 125 ksi and Super 13CR -110 ksi with elevated temperature of 190 °C. Post-test assessment was conducted by visual examination by stereomicroscope to check for surface indication and dye-penetrant examination to determine any indication of cracks. It was observed that the Super 13CR -110 ksi and 15CR 125 ksi test specimens survived the test with no pitting observed. Meanwhile, test specimens were weighed to determine corrosion rates, resulted to Super 13CR -110 ksi sample having an average corrosion rate of 0.2195 mm/year. This translates to less than 30% weight loss throughout well production life and therefore accepted for open-hole production liner and production casing flow-wetted section. Key enabler in this design optimization effort is the understanding of the Stress Corrosion Cracking for martensitic stainless steel in high temperature sour environment where commonly, martensitic stainless steel (Super 13Cr / Modified Super 13Cr) working temperature is 165 °C. The test manages to extend the working temperature up to 190 °C.

Full textAbstract:
As a nation the United States must reduce its dependence on imported energy resources. Net imports of foreign oil as a percentage of total U.S. oil demand have increased from 37% in 1980 to 55% in 2001 and are predicted to increase to 65% by the year 2016. Since heating and air conditioning account for 44% of the energy usage in a typical U.S. home, residential energy conservation techniques hold great promise for significant savings. Insulated concrete form (ICF) construction is a promising construction technique for both residential and commercial construction. Some advantages of ICF construction include: reduced construction time, compatibility with any inside or outside surface finish, insect resistance, strength, noise reduction, reduced infiltration, significant and continuing energy savings, lower HVAC capital costs for the building, and 12” (30 cm) wide window sills. Disadvantages of ICF construction include: resistance from builders and sub-contractors unfamiliar with the construction technique, higher material costs, the necessary custom window and door openings, and the difficulty and expense of making changes once the walls are in place. Even though the material costs are higher than typical (stick-frame) construction, labor savings might result in overall savings. In this paper actual energy usage for an ICF house constructed in 1998 is compared to the energy usage for a 1988 conventional stick-frame building. Comparison of these two buildings indicates a 75% reduction in energy usage per square foot per degree-day for the ICF building when compared to the stick-frame building. During this same time period, energy (gas) usage for heating and hot water decreased 85%. Computer simulations were made for both an ICF wall and for a conventional frame wall. These computer simulations indicate significant saving potential for the ICF wall when compared to a conventional frame wall section. In addition these simulations illustrate dramatically the effect of separating the thermal resistance and thermal capacitance inherent in this “sandwich” construction.

Full textAbstract:
This paper studies whether changes in the composition of public spending affect the macroeconomic consequences of fiscal consolidations. Based on a sample of 44 developing countries and 26 advanced economies during 1980-2019, results show that while fiscal consolidations tend to be on average, contractionary, the size of the output fall depends on the behavior of public investment vis-a-vis public consumption during the fiscal adjustment, with heterogeneous responses growing over time. When public investment is penalized relative to public consumption and thus, its share in public expenditures decreases, a 1 percent of GDP consolidation reduces output by 0.7 percent within three years of the fiscal shock. In contrast, safeguarding public investment from budget cuts vis-a-vis public consumption can neutralize the contractionary effects of fiscal adjustments on impact, and can even spur output growth over the medium term. The component of GDP that mostly drives the heterogeneity between both types of adjustments is private investment. The results hold up to a number of robust-ness tests, including alternative identification strategies of fiscal shocks. The findings have policy implications for the design of fiscal adjustment strategies to protect economic growth as countries recover from the coronavirus pandemic.consolidation reduces output by 0.7 percent within three years of the fiscal shock.
