The European occupation of Mesoamerica, set in motion by Columbus' voyages now almost five centuries ago, proved both enduring and pervasive. Not content simply to trade with the indigenous peoples from distant coastal forts or entirely new towns, the Spanish conquerors of Mexico moved right into Indian cities and, increasingly over time, Indian towns, villages, and their hinterlands. The conquerors' intention behind living in such close proximity was to better extract the local peoples' services and tributes and to convert them more effectively to every aspect of Hispanic culture. From the moment of their arrival Hernando Cortés and his followers sought to introduce a new king, a new god, and a new way of life into the land they called New Spain.

This paper reviews what we know about the experiences of adopted people who discover in later-life that they are adopted. It begins by discussing how and why various facets of the adoption experience have come to the fore over the 20th and 21st century time span of contemporary adoption. The paper concludes with the fact that research on the late discovery of adoption is in its infancy. It also points to parallels that will exist for people who have been conceived by anonymous donation and raises additional areas for possible research.

Full textAbstract:
A retrospective analysis of adopted and non adopted children attending a children's mental health centre between 1959 and 1973 indicated a higher than expected number of males and a significantly higher number of professional fathers than expected in the adopted group. A sub-group of adopted children identified as having learning problems by reports of the parents and teachers had a different pattern of test scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children from a non adopted group, who were also selected for learning difficulties. On the parent's and clinician's ratings, the adopted group had more parent-identified hyperactivity symptoms and clinicians’ diagnoses of hyperactivity. Treatment data indicated that they used more stimulant medication; this was particularly significant for the early adoptees. The early adoptees were considered to be more hyperactive by their parents than the late adoptees. The late adoptees were more impaired on psychometric testing than those placed early, before six months of age. These findings are discussed in relation to possible explanations for the higher than expected prevalence of adoptees seen in clinical populations.

Full textAbstract:
Este estudo baseou-se no acompanhamento, por parte da pesquisadora como analista judiciária, de quatro casos de adoção de crianças entre quatro e 10 anos de idade, tramitados na Segunda Vara da Infância e Juventude de Recife, ao longo do ano de 2013. Nesses casos, constatamos a dificuldade de os adotandos filiarem-se às mães adotivas, às quais se gerou grande sofrimento, enquanto se aproximaram afetivamente dos pais adotivos sem aparentes percalços. Por tal razão, a fim de contribuir para o trabalho
desenvolvido nas adoções de crianças acima de quatro anos (aqui referidos como adoções de criança maior), preparando os adotandos e auxiliando os adotantes no processo de filiação, buscamos identificar as particularidades dessa filiação. Além do mais, analisamos o modo de se vivenciarem a maternidade e a paternidade nos estágios de
convivência e, ainda, de a relação do casal quanto ao desejo de adoção, relacionar-se com a interação da criança com as figuras parentais adotivas. Para isso, realizamos uma pesquisa de abordagem psicanalítica, analisando os relatos de acompanhamento dos
estágios de convivência. Como resultado, em relação às crianças adotadas, constatamos que a precariedade na vivência do luto das imagos parentais prejudica o reinvestimento afetivo nas novas figuras maternas. Já em relação às famílias adotivas, percebemos que as
dificuldades na vivência do luto do filho biológico interferem na filiação adotiva. Especificamente, para as mães adotivas, é necessário o luto do lugar de mãe como o lugar do objeto de amor primordial do filho, uma vez que, pelo desenvolvimento do adotando, a criança demandará um modelo de relação diferente daquela construída com infantes.
Diante de tais constatações, esperamos contribuir para a construção de novos conhecimentos que embasem o trabalho de preparação das famílias adotivas, fundamental para o sucesso na adoção.<br>This study was based on the attendance, by this reasearcher as a judiciary analist, in four adoptions cases of children between four and ten years old, prosecuted at the Recifes Secound Childhood and Adolescece Court, along the year of 2013. On these cases, we
verified the adoptees difficulty to filiate with the adoptive mothers, wich caused great suffering, while they affectively approached the adoptive fatherss without any apparent setbacks. For that reason, to contribute to the development of the work whith older than four
year old childrens adoption (here refered as older child adoption), preparing the adoptees and assisting the adoptive parents on the filiation process, we sought to identify these filiations particularities. Furthermore, we analyzed how the maternity and paternity was
experienced on the adaptation period and, more, and the relation of the couple regarding the will to adopt related to the childs interaction with the adoptive figures. Thereunto, we conducted a psychoanalytic approachs reaseach, analysing adaptation periods attendance
reports. As results, regarding the adoptive children, we verified that the precariousness on experiencing the parental imagos mourning affects the emotional reinvestment upon the new maternal figures. As for the adoptive families, we noticed that the difficulties experiencing
the biological childs mourning interferes on the adoptive filiation. Especially, for the adoptive mothers, it required mourn being a mother as being the sons primary love object, since, because of the childs development, he will demand a different relationship pattern
than the one experienced with a baby. Upon the findings, we hope to contribute to the development of new knowledge to base te adoptive families preparation, essential to the adoptions success.

Full textAbstract:
Late-adopted (i.e. adopted after 12months) and residential-care adolescents, due to higher rates of adverse childhood experiences, show high rates of internalizing-externalizing problems and they are at high-risk to show attachment insecurity and alexithymia, which are risk-factors that may increase psychopathological vulnerability during adolescence.
However, no studies before compare in the same occasion these two high-risk groups of adolescents with community peers in internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment and alexithymia, which were never assessed simultaneously in these groups.
This mixed-method comparative research involved 174 non-clinical adolescents aged 10-19 years (M = 15.55, SD = 2.02, 53% boys) matched for age and gender in 3 groups: two "high-risk groups" of 33 late-adoptees (LA, i.e. adopted after 12 months) and 50 in residential-care (RC), and 91 community teens as low-risk control group (C), with two main aims: 1) to compare groups in internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment and alexithymia with a mixed-method, multi-informant approach, in order to check the assumed vulnerability of high-risk adolescents in these variables. 2) to explore relationships between internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment and alexithymia through groups, exploring the cumulative and interactive effects of attachment and alexithymia as possible risk factors for more internalizing-externalizing problems during adolescence.
After the approval of the University's Research Ethic Commitee, formal agreements with the Social and Health Services for adoption and residential-care and high-school for the recruitment of participants,and the signature by legal care-takers of an informed consent for the voluntarly participation of the adolescent in the research, each participant was assessed in two meetings in home visiting. Measures were: The Child Behavior Check List 6-18 years (CBCL, filled by a biological or adoptive parent and by the educator in the RC group) and the Youth Self Report 11-18 years (YSR) to assess internalizing-externalizing problems; the Friends and Family Interview (FFI) and the Inventory for Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) to assess attachment representations and relationships; the Toronto Alexithymia Scale 20 item (TAS-20) and the Toronto Structured Interview for Alexithymia (TSIA) to assess alexithymia; the verbal comprehension index of the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th edition (ICV-WISC-IV) to control the confounding effect of participant's verbal skills in the interview, plus a socio-demographic data form to collect demographic and anamnestic data (e.g. age and lenght of adoption or institituionalization, reasons).
Main results were: 1) Residential-care adolescents were confirmed the group more vulnerable to internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment insecurity and higher alexithymia, while late-adopted and community adolescents did not show differences each other. 2) Attachment insecurity and higher alexithymia were related to total and internalizing problems in all groups, while no relations with externalizing problems were found. 3) Alexithymia was a common risk-factors for more total and internalizing problems through groups, while attachment patterns had different group-specific roles. Overall, models of prediction inclusive of attachment and alexithymia allowed the prediction of 4%-39% of total problems and 20%-66% of internalizing problems through groups, with higher vulnerability for girls and a certain variability related to the problem's informant (care-giver or adolescent). In the discussion, shared and specific vulnerabilities of each group from a clinical point of view were discussed, commenting on the practical implications and suggesting ways of using these risk prediction models in clinical practice. In the conclusion, the utility of a mixed-method multi-informant approach was highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立暨南國際大學<br>中國語文學系<br>107<br>Abstract
Six Dynasties were the era of “Heteroglossia” in calligraphy history. Various calligraphic styles were developed and formed, and the writing of calligraphy theories was thriving as well. In terms of the progression of history, Six Dynasties succeeded the calligraphy concepts from Late Han Dynasty, and developed a theory model that matched the style at the time on the basis of sages of previous times, such as stroke description, type compliment, calligraphy history development, calligraphy appreciation, and calligraphy comments, etc. The sages of previous times utilized the words they learned in order to interpret the topics of calligraphy works and therefore to attest their own existence from the words. However, languages have the unique limitations of being difficult to describe and interpret. Therefore, to accept the calligraphy theories of Six Dynasties, one must have the foundation on language as well as calligraphy skills, or otherwise they only see the surface but fail to obtain the aesthetics truth behind the language.
In terms of calligraphic creations, the unconstrained style of two Wangs was often accepted by people. Such style even became the models of calligraphers after the imperial family and collectors. From the solely dominating Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, the calligraphers had the ambition of catching up and even going beyond both of them. Dong Qichang was one of those ambitious figures, as well as Wang Duo and Fu Shan. If we put the classical and the transformed as the two extremes of calligraphic aesthetics, what we can consider is that how the transformed emerged in the first place under the influences of the classical? Obviously, “From the Old Born the New” is the common faith of calligraphers; “the transformed” is the reflection of going beyond and attesting what had been existed.
In order to clarify the correlation between classical theories and transformed styles, the study tries to organize the meaning and development progress in the reading of calligraphy theories in Six Dynasties. Secondly, it analyzes the correlations between the theories, the main textures, and the readers from the perspective of theory of reception, and put itself into the atmosphere at the time, considering the substantial meaning within. Then, it observes the internal and external factors on the transformed from the development aspects of calligraphy in Late Ming Dynasty. Lastly, it makes the compare and contrast of the calligraphy theories in Late Ming Dynasty and Six Dynasties, interpreting the reception between them and attesting that “From the Old Born the New” was the principle for calligraphers’ creation as well as the inevitable trend of “The Transformed Comes from the Classical”.
The reception in Late Ming Dynasty toward calligraphy theories in Six Dynasties is not only reflected on the works and descriptions, but also on the appreciation amusements. The continuous pursuance and facsimile of models for writing in Six Dynasties were actually their reception reflection on the calligraphy theories. Such reception might not be seen in texts, but it was realized in the strokes of calligraphers, unnoticed.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo desmistificar a perceção negativa sobre a adoção
tardia. É apresentada a prática profissional junto de crianças e jovens, enquanto docente
de Educação Moral Religiosa e Católica, o investimento na formação, e a experiência de
trabalho ao longo de dezoito anos. Entre as várias problemáticas acompanhadas, destacase o contacto com crianças institucionalizadas e adotadas, sobre as quais é dedicada
particular atenção.
Ao longo deste trabalho, em que participaram uma fratria de três irmãs biológicas
e a mãe adotiva, vamos percecionar os desafios que a adoção fez despontar no seio
familiar e como se adaptaram a esta nova realidade sem uma preparação prévia, tanto a
nível psicológico e emocional, como ao nível da gestão de todas as situações novas que
passaram a surgir diariamente. Veremos também como se integraram à uma nova
realidade, bem diferente da que tinham até integrar uma nova família, nomeadamente,
como foi a adaptação à família nuclear e que relações estabeleceram com a família
alargada, bem como as mudanças que decorreram no seu percurso escolar.
As famílias adotivas têm características e tarefas específicas que implicam
relacionarem-se quer com o período anterior à adoção (decisão, espera, vivências e
transição para a parentalidade/filiação), quer com o período posterior (integração,
adaptação, comunicação e a criação de vínculos), sendo que a adoção de crianças mais
velhas reveste-se ainda de características mais específicas e requer desafios adicionais.
Veremos que, com todos os desafios, angústias e dúvidas ao longo do processo,
atualmente considera-se que as crianças, agora jovens, se encontram bem-adaptadas. Os
dados recolhidos sugerem pistas importantes para o sucesso da adoção de fratrias em
idade tardia e vêm revelar que os desafios adjacentes podem ser ultrapassados quando a
família adotiva tem como objetivo o bem-estar da criança que deve ser entendido, como
define (Kickbusch, 2012)1
, pela realização do potencial da pessoa por intermédio do
desenvolvimento das dimensões física, emocional, mental e espiritual.<br>This paper aims to demystify the negative perception about late adoption. Is
presented the professional practice with children and young people, as a teacher of
Religious and Catholic Moral Education, investment in training, and work experience
over eighteen years practice. Among the various issues monitored, contact with
institutionalized and adopted children stands out, over which particular attention is
devoted.
Throughout this work, in which a group of three biological sisters and the adoptive
mother participated, we will perceive the challenges that adoption has made to emerge in
the family and how they adapted to this new reality without prior preparation, both on a
psychological and emotional level, as well as in terms of management of all new
situations in their daily life. How they integrated with a new reality, quite different from
what they had before the integration in a new family, namely, how was the adaptation to
the nuclear family and what relationships did they establish with the extended family, as
well as the changes that took place in their school path.
Adoptive families have specific characteristics and tasks that imply relating both
to the period prior to adoption (decision, waiting, experiences and transition to parenting
/ affiliation), and to the later period (integration, adaptation, communication and the
creation of bonds) , with the adoption of older children, more specific characteristics and
additional challenges arise.
We will see that, with all the challenges, anxieties, and doubts throughout the
process, it is now considered that children, now young, are well-adapted. The collected
data suggest important clues for the successful adoption of siblings at a late age, and
reveals that the adjacent challenges can be overcome when the adoptive family aims the
well-being of the child that must be understood, as (Kickbusch, 2012) defined, for
realizing the person's potential through the development of the physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
Late-life addiction has been a neglected topic in the field of substance-use disorders research. Research suggests that with the aging baby-boomer generation, decline in fertility rates, and increases in life expectancy, there will be an increasing demand on the substance-abuse treatment systems designed specifically for individuals aged 65 and older in the next decade. Emerging technologies such as electronic health records, dashboards, communication tools, and new-generation monitoring devices offer significant opportunities to advance the treatment and recovery management of substance use disorders. This chapter explains the emerging technologies that are being used in addiction treatment and proposes guidelines for how these systems can be adopted for older adults by drawing on experiences from ElderTree, an interactive health technology designed for older populations.

AbstractThis chapter examines to what extent two late medieval nomadic groups in the southern Balkans adopted the economic practices of the areas they moved into, in order to achieve agricultural sustainability. In the fourteenth century, these two groups, Turk yörüks and transhumant Albanians, migrated to Greece in order to invigorate depopulated areas and reclaim lands in Thessaly and the Peloponnese respectively. Almost three generations after their establishment, Ottoman taxation cadastres cast light on their agricultural and pastoral activities. Even though these groups followed different trajectories in their sedentarisation—more or less dictated by their ethnocultural peculiarities—they both focused over time on farming basic, life-sustaining crops, such as cereals, which were complimentary to the manifold market-oriented farming activities of the long-settled local Greeks.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter deals with the formalization of banking supervision in Switzerland, which occurred throughout the twentieth century in a three-step process. First, between 1914 and 1931, the introduction of formal banking supervision, including a detailed Banking Act enforced by an authority, was discussed but was rejected under the influence of leading bankers. Second, in the aftermath of a severe banking crisis in 1931–1934, the resistance of bankers was undermined and a federal law on commercial banking, featuring the setting up of a new supervision agency, was adopted. Third, until the late 1970s, despite the existence of a legal code and a designated authority, the formalization was still incomplete, because the agency was lacking the formal capacity and resources to guarantee an effective enforcement of financial regulation. During that period (1930s–1970s), policymakers were unable to remove the flaws of the supervisory regime because of the strong preference of the main stakeholders (commercial banks, banking supervisors) for the existing system.

AbstractAwareness of exhaustible forest resources is not recent in human history; rather, it dates back to the late Middle Ages, when it became clear that some kind of planning was needed to utilise forest resources and to do so, assessment was necessary. Postponed in time, enlarged to a national scale and based on statistical sampling, compared to the inventory methods adopted at that time, modern NFIs are assigned to produce sound information necessary to support forest policies. Forest areas and composition, ownership, growing stock and increment, as well as management, silviculture and structural characters are among the variables assessed by NFIs. This chapter provides statistics on those variables. For areas, estimates are shown for Total wooded area, Forest, Other wooded land, and their distribution among inventory categories and forest types, which describe species composition. In addition, the chapter also addresses distribution by altitude classes. For stands characters, areas are shown by crown coverage, development stage and age class. Lastly, inventory statistics are given on the presence and amount of small trees and shrubs.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractUtilizing such concepts as “colonial complicity” and “colonialism without colonies”, this chapter examines the case of Finns and Finland as a nation that was once oppressed but also itself complicit in colonialism. It argues that although the Finnish nation has historically been positioned in Europe between western and eastern empires, Finns were not only passive victims of (Russian) imperial rule but also active participants in the creation of imperial vocabulary in various colonial contexts, including Sápmi in the North.This chapter argues that although Finns never had overseas colonies, they were involved in the colonial world, sending out colonizers and producing images of colonial “others”, when they, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, felt the need to project themselves as white and European (not Russian or non-white, such as Mongols). Finns adopted, adapted, and created common European knowledge about colonized areas, cultures, and people and participated in constructing racial hierarchies. These racialized notions were also applied to the Sámi. Furthermore, Finns benefitted economically from colonialism, sent out missionaries to Owambo in present-day Namibia to spread the ideas of Western/White/Christian superiority and instruct the Owambo in European ways. Finns were also involved in several colonial enterprises of other European colonizing powers, such as in the Belgian Congo or aboard Captain Cook’s vessel on his journey to the Antipodes.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers a summarized overview of late Roman Spain, especially during the fourth century ad. The break between Roman Spain and the world of the barbarian kingdoms was not as sudden and brutal as scholars have traditionally imagined. Roman Hispania dissolved gradually, in a process that seems to have been spread over several decades. The new barbarian kingdom adopted numerous features of the Roman provincial organization and civilization. In order to give this summarized and updated picture, this chapter will discuss various elements, paying particular attention to the historiographical background and current scholarship debates and issues of each. The chapter will finally attempt to give a general point of view on the current interpretation of the economics and society of late Roman Spain.

Though in most data warehousing applications no relevance is given to the time when events are recorded, some domains call for a different behavior. In particular, whenever late measurements of events take place, and particularly when the events registered are subject to further updates, the traditional design solutions fail in preserving accountability and query consistency. In this article, we discuss the alternative design solutions that can be adopted, in presence of late measurements, to support different types of queries that enable meaningful historical analysis. These solutions are based on the enforcement of the distinction between transaction time and valid time within the schema that represents the fact of interest. Besides, we provide a qualitative and quantitative comparison of the solutions proposed, aimed at enabling wellinformed design decisions.

This chapter analyzes coins and writing in late prehistoric Europe. The development of coinage in temperate Europe and the first regular signs of writing are innovations that share some important features. Both were introduced from outside the region, specifically from the Mediterranean world, toward the end of the Middle Iron Age. Although both had existed in the Mediterranean world for centuries before their introduction and adoption in temperate Europe, both appear in temperate Europe at about the same time, during the third century BC and more abundantly during the second and first centuries. They were both adopted at a particular time in Europe's developmental trajectory, and under specific economic and political circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
Libanius’s letter collection is the largest to survive from antiquity, and indeed it is one of the most important sources on the socio-cultural history of late antiquity. Nevertheless, it has been only partially translated and selectively studied; this chapter, by contrast, focuses on the collection as a whole. First, it analyzes the three most important manuscripts, which shows 300 roughly identical letters in varying order. Second, it examines the collection’s design and its effects on interpretation. Finally, it dives into the question of editorial origins: did Libanius or some posthumous admirer compile the collection? Thus this chapter will show that reading Libanius’ letters in their original order—not in the chronological order first proposed by Otto Seeck and adopted by most editors and translators—not only enriches our understanding of the individual letters, but also shows the value of the letter collection as a unified literary composition.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the existence of Jewish regional cultures and the prominence of two groups, Ashkenaz and Sepharad as biblical toponyms adopted by medieval Jews. It explains that Ashkenaz was adopted by settlers in Carolingian Franco-Germany, while Sepharad was adopted by settlers in Islamic al-Andalus. It also mentions historian Jonathan Ray, who showed that Iberian Jews of the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries identified themselves not as Sephardim, but as Jews of a particular town or principality. The chapter considers the Sepharad, which was a catch-all identity first used by the established residents of non-Iberian lands and applied to Jewish newcomers from Spain. It reviews Joseph Davis's study of early modern halakhic codes that demonstrates how Ashkenaz became an umbrella category in the sixteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Run-to-end (hereafter referred to "RTE") is a fit-for-purpose approach to manage late field life assets for realization of full potential through safe, reliable and cost effective operation by maximizing value at the end of economic life while complying to minimum technical standards through ALARP demonstration. RTE provides an overview of the multiple processes which shall be adopted and customized to the business needs of the intended facilities with the aim to minimize value leakage and ensuring safety until facility's cease of production prior to relinquishment or decommissioning. This RTE philosophy is to be applied to facilities that are within 5 years of its end of economic life so that value leakage can be minimized within the tolerable risk. The RTE provides an overview of development of case for change, guided process for the Operation & Maintenance philosophy changes and demonstration of risks mitigation & governance assurance. The safety risk of the facility shall be assessed and monitored through continuous ALARP demonstration. If the facility is deemed to be either no longer safe through ALARP or can no longer maintain a positive cash flow position, it is recommended that the facility to cease production operations and proceed with relinquishment or decommissioning activities. It has been implemented in one of late field life and resulting to 30% reduction of OPEX.

Full textAbstract:
HCCI combustion is gaining increased attention amongst the research community to make it viable in both diesel and gasoline engines. Of late, technique of External mixture formation is being adopted to avoid the problems associated with the early injection and late injections of the direct injected diesel HCCI engine. This paper reports the numerical studies on the effect of External mixture formation using three-zone extended coherent flame (ECFM-3Z) CFD model of the STAR - CD package. Firstly, the results obtained through package were validated with the results available in the literature. Trade-off between HC, CO and NOx was clearly observed through simulation. The simulation results revealed decrease in in-cylinder pressures and NOx emissions with increase in EGR concentration. There is an under prediction of NOx emissions when compared with the experimental results. However, a significant reduction in NOx emissions was observed with external mixture formation, usage compared to direct diesel injection. In case of HC and CO emissions increasing trend was observed with increase in EGR concentration. Increase in HC and CO emissions was observed with external mixture formation when compared with a direct diesel injection. Also, reduction in turbulent kinetic energy and velocity magnitude levels were observed with increase in EGR concentration. Improved piston work is resulted at lower EGR concentrations. Studies revealed that for a given combustion bowl geometry, It is concluded that external mixture formation technique could be adopted to achieve HCCI combustion.

Full textAbstract:
Sustained heating experiments are in progress to investigate the boiling configurations and to quantify the heat removal rate at the upper surface of a metallic layer in case of late in-vessel coolant injection. Pure Zinc is used as the simulant of metallic layer and bottom heating via catridge heater plate is adopted to simulate the heat transfer from the oxidic pool. The test section is rectangular shape having 0.3m in width and 0.5m in length. The scoping test was performed. In the scoping test, the height of melt pool is 10cm and the temperature of the test section bottom was intended to be controlled for maintaining the uniform temperature of 500°C. The scoping test results indicate that the melt pool effectively cooled down via boiling heat removal without energetic melt coolant interaction. The heat removal rate was calculated by 456.27kW/m2 ∼ 516.3kW/m2 which confirms the effective boiling heat removal in the scoping test.

Full textAbstract:
The defense of Ossola territories, on the Spanish passageway to Flanders, in the late seventeenth centuryThe Ossola territories, in the area to the northwest of Milan, have constituted the western border most in contact with the nordic and tens-alpine world, ever since the first establishment of the Duchy of Milan. It is already known from G. Parker’s monography on the camino español that one of the common routes, which allowed overland redeployment of Spanish troops headed towards Flanders, from the Liguria region across central Europe, would go through Ossola and cross the Simplon Pass or the Gries Pass. During the turbulent historical period of the Thirty Years’ War and the following one, the changing fortunes of the Duchy of Milan in Spanish hands led to the fast and strategic conquest of Piedmontese cities (1639) and their equally rapid loss on the western border. Especially in the second half of the seventeenth century, the Franco-Savoy advance threw the Piedmontese borders into a severe crisis and the Spanish governors of Milan accordingly adopted all the military measures needed to address the issue. Fearing incursions from the north, through Romandie, Valais and Ossola, in the late seventeenth century, many field engineers among whom Beretta and Formenti, arranged the transformation of Domodossola, the outermost military stronghold only equipped with obsolete medieval walls at the time, into a “modern” rampart city (1687-1690). The engineers produced an accurate study of the territory, preserved today in the Historical Civic Archive and at the Trivulziana library in Milan in a cartographic manuscript series of all the Ossola valleys and the Swiss territory from Brig to Lake Leman.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Bonga field is in its late stage Phase-3 development. Infill wells are drilled to target oil in the bypassed or unswept areas of the reservoirs. Unlike the earlier phases of development, the current wells have complex trajectories and are hooked up via crowded subsea manifolds. Because oflimited availability of drilling centers, most of the new wells are extended reach with narrow drilling margins. The target reservoirs are relatively thinner, poorly developed, and more limited in extent and size compared to targets in the earlier phases, increasing inherent subsurface uncertainties. With an expected low case ultimate recovery per well of roughly 10–15 MMstb, and average deepwater well cost of +/- $40 million, the stakes were high and hence critical to get it right the first time. If net-sand is poor or short because of suboptimal landing or well placement in the reservoir, the well objective (recovery and rate) can easily be compromised and could require drilling a sidetrack with additional attendant cost. Longer exposure length of drain hole (reservoir section) was known to improve well production rates hence an essential component of the well plan. To address these challenges and ensure the wells achieve their objectives and deliver their economic value, a geosteering technology (Reservoir Mapping While Drilling tool—GeoSphere) was adopted for optimal landing above the target reservoir(s) and placement within the reservoir channel sands using the Multilayer Distance to Boundary technology (PeriScopeHD). The deployment of geosteering technology was considered to be a success in enabling better sand exposures of the wells in the target sections, thus achieving the well objectives. This paper discusses the implementation of geosteering technology and learnings from two case studies in the Bonga infill campaign.

Poliorcetics, architectural morphology and construction techniques at Tossal de la Vila, a fortified enclosure from the Emirate period in the northernmost end of Šarq al-AndalusThis work focuses on the first results from the systematic excavation of the Tossal de la Vila (Serra d’en Galceran, Castelló) archaeological site. This is, a hillfort build during the Emirate of al-Andalus in the intersection between the territories of Tortosa, Valencia and the Iberian System mountain ranges. Our case study is framed within the historiographic discussion on the subject of rocky and castellated settlements in this area set forth thirty years ago by André Bazzana. A debate that was largely enriched by several works pending the last years on the subject of hilly occupations between Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages. In that direction, we analyse here the architectural questions that have been raised by the recent archaeological works at the site. Specifically, we will try to systematise the different defensive solutions adopted on the design of the fort, as well as the diverse construction techniques used along the fortbuilding process.

The Historic Rural Building Pilot Scheme, launched in 2018, was a collaborative project between national cultural and natural heritage organisations, government agencies and five English National Parks. Its aim was to bring life back to traditional agricultural buildings within the boundaries of participating National Parks. Funding was available for building repairs using traditional methods and materials, with the aims of preserving the distinctive character of the areas and keeping the buildings in continued agricultural use.The Author is an independent heritage consultant employed by Dartmoor National Park Authority to oversee the 13 repair projects selected there. These ranged in size from small, isolated barns to a large, late 19thcentury model farmstead. Typical works included masonry and cob repairs, timber repairs, roof replacement etc. A total of £1.3m has been offered in the National Park covering 80% of the cost of eligible repairs.The paper briefly describes Dartmoor and provides an overview of the scheme. Individual case studies are considered, illustrated with photos, describing the history and significance of each building, their construction, the structural problems affecting them before repair; and the philosophy and solutions adopted.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Hammersmith bridge is a chain suspension bridge crossing the River Thames between Hammersmith and Barnes in West London. The bridge was built in the late 1880’s and is a listed heritage structure that still forms part of the London transport network. The age and type of the bridge, together with the number of historic interventions and partial refurbishments, makes it challenging to perform an analysis that is representative of the current state. The analytical work was informed by a detailed 3D laser scan under road closure, controlled instrumented load tests, vibration tests for the hangers and incremental centre hole drilling (ICHD) for the chains. The material properties of various elements were confirmed by positive material identification (PMI) and in-situ hardness testing whilst non-destructive testing techniques such as alternating current field measurement (ACFM) were employed to test for fatigue damage. This paper summarises the methodology adopted to correlate field data with structural analysis so that the assessment is representative of the real bridge.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Beginning in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, “alternative defect acceptance criteria” were adopted in various codes and standards in the pipeline industry. These criteria relate the tolerable defect sizes with the magnitude of loads and materials’ resistance to failure. They allow engineers to assess the suitability of the pipes containing defects for intended service conditions, or fitness-for-service. Assessments based on the fitness-for-service principles are often referred to as Engineering Critical Assessment, or ECA. Although most of these codes are based on fracture mechanics principles, the defect tolerance levels vary significantly from code to code. This paper describes a two-year effort funded by PRCI (Pipeline Research Council International) to develop an ECA procedure specifically tailored to pipeline girth welds. The newly developed procedure is in FAD (failure assessment diagram) format. The key features of this procedure are provided in this paper. Based on prior research and extensive experimental data analysis, a modified Miller plastic collapse solution was selected for its rigorous formulation and good agreement with full-scale test results. The effects of weld strength mismatch on plastic collapse load (limit load) were examined and validated through finite element (FE) analysis. Parametric formulae of mismatch correction factors to the plastic collapse solution were adopted. The stress intensity factor solutions of finite-length surface-breaking defects in girth welds were developed and validated. Failure assessment curves (FACs) for girth weld defects were generated. These curves incorporated the effects of material’s strain hardening rate and defect size. They are more accurate than some of the generic material and defect independent FACs, yet easy to use.

Full textAbstract:
The development of scenarios for quantitative or qualitative analysis is a key element of the assessment of the safety of geological disposal systems. As an outcome of an international workshop attended by European and the Japanese implementers, a number of features common to current methodologies could be identified, as well as trends in their evolution over time. In the late nineties, scenario development was often described as a bottom-up process, whereby scenarios were said to be developed in essence from FEP databases. Nowadays, it is recognised that, in practice, the approaches actually adopted are better described as top-down or “hybrid”, taking as their starting point an integrated (top-down) understanding of the system under consideration including uncertainties in initial state, sometimes assisted by the development of “storyboards”. A bottom-up element remains (hence the term “hybrid”) to the extent that FEP databases or FEP catalogues (including interactions) are still used, but the focus is generally on completeness checking, which occurs parallel to the main assessment process. Recent advances focus on the consistent treatment of uncertainties throughout the safety assessment and on the integration of operational safety and long term safety.

Full textAbstract:
Type sections are one of several kinds of stratotypes. A stratotype is the standard (original or subsequently designated), accessible, and specific sequence of rock for a named geologic unit that forms the basis for the definition, recognition, and comparison of that unit elsewhere. Geologists designate stratotypes for rock exposures that are illustrative and representative of the map unit being defined. Stratotypes ideally should remain accessible for examination and study by others. In this sense, geologic stratotypes are similar in concept to biological type specimens, however, they remain in situ as rock exposures rather than curated in a repository. Therefore, managing stratotypes requires inventory and monitoring like other geologic heritage resources in parks. In addition to type sections, stratotypes also include type localities, type areas, reference sections, and lithodemes, all of which are defined in this report. The goal of this project is to consolidate information pertaining to stratotypes that occur within NPS-administered areas, in order that this information is available throughout the NPS to inform park managers and to promote the preservation and protection of these important geologic heritage resources. This effort identified two stratotypes designated within two park units of the Southern Plains Inventory & Monitoring Network (SOPN): Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument (ALFL) has one type locality; and Capulin Volcano National Monument (CAVO) contains one type area. There are currently no designated stratotypes within Bent’s Old Fort National Historic Site (BEOL), Chickasaw National Recreation Area (CHIC), Fort Larned National Historic Site (FOLS), Fort Union National Monument (FOUN), Lake Meredith National Recreation Area (LAMR), Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park (LYJO), Pecos National Historical Site (PECO), Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site (SAND), Waco Mammoth National Monument (WACO), and Washita Battlefield National Historic Site (WABA). The inventory of geologic stratotypes across the NPS is an important effort in documenting these locations in order that NPS staff recognize and protect these areas for future studies. The focus adopted for completing the baseline inventories throughout the NPS has centered on the 32 inventory and monitoring (I&M) networks established during the late 1990s. Adopting a network-based approach to inventories worked well when the NPS undertook paleontological resource inventories for the 32 I&M networks and was therefore adopted for the stratotype inventory. The Greater Yellowstone I&M Network (GRYN) was the pilot network for initiating this project (Henderson et al. 2020). Methodologies and reporting strategies adopted for the GRYN have been used in the development of this report for the SOPN. This report includes a recommendation section that addresses outstanding issues and future steps regarding park unit stratotypes. These recommendations will hopefully guide decision-making and help ensure that these geoheritage resources are properly protected and that proposed park activities or development will not adversely impact the stability and condition of these geologic exposures.

Wozniakowska, P., D. W. Eaton, C. Deblonde, A. Mort, and O. H. Ardakani. Identification of regional structural corridors in the Montney play using trend surface analysis combined with geophysical imaging, British Columbia and Alberta. Natural Resources Canada/CMSS/Information Management, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4095/328850.
Full textAbstract:
The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) is a mature oil and gas basin with an extraordinary endowment of publicly accessible data. It contains structural elements of varying age, expressed as folding, faulting, and fracturing, which provide a record of tectonic activity during basin evolution. Knowledge of the structural architecture of the basin is crucial to understand its tectonic evolution; it also provides essential input for a range of geoscientific studies, including hydrogeology, geomechanics, and seismic risk analysis. This study focuses on an area defined by the subsurface extent of the Triassic Montney Formation, a region of the WCSB straddling the border between Alberta and British Columbia, and covering an area of approximately 130,000 km2. In terms of regional structural elements, this area is roughly bisected by the east-west trending Dawson Creek Graben Complex (DCGC), which initially formed in the Late Carboniferous, and is bordered to the southwest by the Late Cretaceous - Paleocene Rocky Mountain thrust and fold belt (TFB). The structural geology of this region has been extensively studied, but structural elements compiled from previous studies exhibit inconsistencies arising from distinct subregions of investigation in previous studies, differences in the interpreted locations of faults, and inconsistent terminology. Moreover, in cases where faults are mapped based on unpublished proprietary data, many existing interpretations suffer from a lack of reproducibility. In this study, publicly accessible data - formation tops derived from well logs, LITHOPROBE seismic profiles and regional potential-field grids, are used to delineate regional structural elements. Where seismic profiles cross key structural features, these features are generally expressed as multi-stranded or en echelon faults and structurally-linked folds, rather than discrete faults. Furthermore, even in areas of relatively tight well control, individual fault structures cannot be discerned in a robust manner, because the spatial sampling is insufficient to resolve fault strands. We have therefore adopted a structural-corridor approach, where structural corridors are defined as laterally continuous trends, identified using geological trend surface analysis supported by geophysical data, that contain co-genetic faults and folds. Such structural trends have been documented in laboratory models of basement-involved faults and some types of structural corridors have been described as flower structures. The distinction between discrete faults and structural corridors is particularly important for induced seismicity risk analysis, as the hazard posed by a single large structure differs from the hazard presented by a corridor of smaller pre-existing faults. We have implemented a workflow that uses trend surface analysis based on formation tops, with extensive quality control, combined with validation using available geophysical data. Seven formations are considered, from the Late Cretaceous Basal Fish Scale Zone (BFSZ) to the Wabamun Group. This approach helped to resolve the problem of limited spatial extent of available seismic data and provided a broader spatial coverage, enabling the investigation of structural trends throughout the entirety of the Montney play. In total, we identified 34 major structural corridors and number of smaller-scale structures, for which a GIS shapefile is included as a digital supplement to facilitate use of these features in other studies. Our study also outlines two buried regional foreland lobes of the Rocky Mountain TFB, both north and south of the DCGC.

Full textAbstract:
A fundamental responsibility of the National Park Service is to ensure that park resources are preserved, protected, and managed in consideration of the resources themselves and for the benefit and enjoyment by the public. Through the inventory, monitoring, and study of park resources, we gain a greater understanding of the scope, significance, distribution, and management issues associated with these resources and their use. This baseline of natural resource information is available to inform park managers, scientists, stakeholders, and the public about the conditions of these resources and the factors or activities which may threaten or influence their stability. There are several different categories of geologic or stratigraphic units (supergroup, group, formation, member, bed) which represent a hierarchical system of classification. The mapping of stratigraphic units involves the evaluation of lithologies, bedding properties, thickness, geographic distribution, and other factors. If a new mappable geologic unit is identified, it may be described and named through a rigorously defined process that is standardized and codified by the professional geologic community (North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature 2005). In most instances when a new geologic unit such as a formation is described and named in the scientific literature, a specific and well-exposed section of the unit is designated as the type section or type locality (see Definitions). The type section is an important reference section for a named geologic unit which presents a relatively complete and representative profile for this unit. The type or reference section is important both historically and scientifically, and should be recorded such that other researchers may evaluate it in the future. Therefore, this inventory of geologic type sections in NPS areas is an important effort in documenting these locations in order that NPS staff recognize and protect these areas for future studies. The documentation of all geologic type sections throughout the 423 units of the NPS is an ambitious undertaking. The strategy for this project is to select a subset of parks to begin research for the occurrence of geologic type sections within particular parks. The focus adopted for completing the baseline inventories throughout the NPS was centered on the 32 inventory and monitoring networks (I&M) established during the late 1990s. The I&M networks are clusters of parks within a defined geographic area based on the ecoregions of North America (Fenneman 1946; Bailey 1976; Omernik 1987). These networks share similar physical resources (geology, hydrology, climate), biological resources (flora, fauna), and ecological characteristics. Specialists familiar with the resources and ecological parameters of the network, and associated parks, work with park staff to support network level activities (inventory, monitoring, research, data management). Adopting a network-based approach to inventories worked well when the NPS undertook paleontological resource inventories for the 32 I&M networks. The network approach is also being applied to the inventory for the geologic type sections in the NPS. The planning team from the NPS Geologic Resources Division who proposed and designed this inventory selected the Greater Yellowstone Inventory and Monitoring Network (GRYN) as the pilot network for initiating this project. Through the research undertaken to identify the geologic type sections within the parks of the GRYN, methodologies for data mining and reporting on these resources was established. Methodologies and reporting adopted for the GRYN have been used in the development of this type section inventory for the Chihuahuan Desert Inventory & Monitoring Network. The goal of this project is to consolidate information pertaining to geologic type sections which occur within NPS-administered areas, in order that this information is available throughout the NPS...

Full textAbstract:
A fundamental responsibility of the National Park Service (NPS) is to ensure that park resources are preserved, protected, and managed in consideration of the resources themselves and for the benefit and enjoyment by the public. Through the inventory, monitoring, and study of park resources, we gain a greater understanding of the scope, significance, distribution, and management issues associated with these resources and their use. This baseline of natural resource information is available to inform park managers, scientists, stakeholders, and the public about the conditions of these resources and the factors or activities which may threaten or influence their stability. There are several different categories of geologic or stratigraphic units (supergroup, group, formation, member, bed) which represent a hierarchical system of classification. The mapping of stratigraphic units involves the evaluation of lithologies, bedding properties, thickness, geographic distribution, and other factors. If a new mappable geologic unit is identified, it may be described and named through a rigorously defined process that is standardized and codified by the professional geologic community (North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature 2005). In most instances when a new geologic unit such as a formation is described and named in the scientific literature, a specific and well-exposed section of the unit is designated as the type section or type locality (see Definitions). The type section is an important reference section for a named geologic unit which presents a relatively complete and representative profile. The type or reference section is important both historically and scientifically, and should be available for other researchers to evaluate in the future. Therefore, this inventory of geologic type sections in NPS areas is an important effort in documenting these locations in order that NPS staff recognize and protect these areas for future studies. The documentation of all geologic type sections throughout the 423 units of the NPS is an ambitious undertaking. The strategy for this project is to select a subset of parks to begin research for the occurrence of geologic type sections within particular parks.
