Abstract:
This thesis project came about from a desire to establish a relationship between the built form and the landscape that it inhabits - a ranch in central Texas. I began with a program of a house, stable, horse riding arena, ranch hand living, and various other service buildings. I decided to organize the buildings along a linear spine down a gradual hillside on the property. The limestone block spine walls begin at a wind pump tower which provides well water for horses to drink and bathe in. A clear structural hierarchy exists in the buildings. I was interested in the relationship between the stacking of the walls and making a framework out of wood and steel. Details were resolved with special consideration for the materials and their natural qualities and properties. The project achieves a sense of connection to the site. It brings to light some of the materials, methods, and vernacular practices of the region.

Abstract:
Many of the colour images captured by different types of digital camera do not provide quality colour image according to human visual perception. In this study we explore technique for colour correction of the colour images from the Waikato Image Ranger. Colour images were captured using three different illuminants with the Waikato Image Ranger. The colour image formed from the ranger data do not have good quality because illuminants used do not match usual RGB standard illuminants. The spectral power distribution values of the illuminants were measured using spectroradiometer. To calculate tristimulus values the reflectance function of the scene is required. A mechanism of calculating the reflectance functions from the ranger data using genetic algorithm was explained. The reflectance functions are approximated using variable Gaussian basis functions, and fit to the ranger colour triplets by genetic algorithms. From the estimated reflectance functions standard CRT RGB values were calculated. It was found that the genetic algorithm approach was for too slow for practical purposes and produced images with far too much colour variation.

Abstract:
För alpina skidåkare mäter man prestationer i så kallad FIS-ranking. Vi undersöker några metoder för hur man kan analysera data där responsen består av ranger som dessa. Vid situationer då responsdata utgörs av urval av ranger finns ingen självklar analysmetod. Det vi undersöker är skillnaderna vid användandet av olika regressionsanpassningar så som linjär, logistisk och ordinal logistisk regression för att analysera data av denna typ. Vidare används bootstrap för att bilda konfidensintervall. Det visar sig att för våra datamaterial ger metoderna liknande resultat när det gäller att hitta betydelsefulla förklarande variabler. Man kan därmed utgående från denna undersökning, inte se några skäl till varför man ska använda de mer avancerade modellerna.
Alpine skiers measure their performance in FIS ranking. We will investigate some methods on how to analyze data where response data is based on ranks like this. In situations where response data is based on ranks there is no obvious method of analysis. Here, we examine differences in the use of linear, logistic and ordinal logistic regression to analyze data of this type. Bootstrap is used to make confidence intervals. For our data these methods give similar results when it comes to finding important explanatory variables. Based on this survey we cannot see any reason why one should use the more advanced models.

Abstract:
The thesis is an inquiry into what is architecture, and what are the ideas that influence architecture and its creator, the architect. The resulting answer is structure. Structure is the essential component of architecture. It gives form and limits to a space, and provides a medium to transform the ideological into the physical. What comprises this structure, and how it is translated into the built environment is an ongoing investigation. However, certain elements can be deemed influential in dictating how this structure is expressed. These include the major components of the structure, base and frame. The base responds to the site and provides a place for the frame. The frame defines the limits of the space and gives and order to the project. Further review of the frame reveals two additional elements of structure, connection and infill. The study of connection lends itself to the belief that architecture can be found in the details, while the use of infill gives way to the examination of an opening in a wall, and the light or view that it creates. When these four elements of building work together, the creation of architecture and structure begin to unite into a single process. The result, in this case, is a project that forms a path through the woods and builds a relationship with nature.

Abstract:

De situationer och uppgifter svensk militär kan komma att ställas inför i sitt arbete att försvara Sverige vid ett väpnat angrepp och vid internationella insatser kan vara komplexa, otydliga och krävande. Dessa parametrar ställer höga krav på de chefer som skall leda förbanden. Ett av kraven är att cheferna, oavsett ledningsnivå är välutbildade och kompetenta inom just sitt område, de ska vara duktiga på just det de skall göra.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analysera behovet av militärteoretisk utbildning för gruppcheferna vid arméns jägarbataljon. Vad blir effekten av en sådan utbildning? Vidare var också syftet av ge förslag på vilka delar ur militärteorin en sådan utbildning skulle kunna innehålla, för att specifikt passa jägargruppchefer.

Inledningsvis gjordes en analys av populärversion TOEM AJB, där förbandets uppträdande och uppgifter särskilt analyserades. Ur resultatet återfanns förbandsspecifika faktorer som kunde nyttjas som motiv till en militärteoretisk utbildning för gruppcheferna. Därefter kopplades faktorerna till liknande delar ur militärteorin i syfte att påvisa vilka delar som skulle kunna ingå i en utbildning. Delar som är direkt jämförbara med förbandets sätt att uppträda och metoder man använder vid lösandet av uppgifter. Slutligen besvarades frågeställningen i en avslutning.

Resultaten pekar på att en militärteoretisk utbildning skulle öka gruppchefs förmåga att fatta självständiga beslut. Resultatet visar också att de delar ur militärteorin som skall ingå är uppdragstaktik, indirekt metod innehållandes tyngdpunkt, kritisk sårbarhet, systemkollaps och initiativ. Vidare bör även en mindre del i utbildningen omfatta de olika ledningsnivåerna; taktisk- operativ- och strategisk ledningsnivå.


Situations and tasks that the Swedish armed forces may confront on missions abroad can be complex, diffuse and demanding. This means that the unit leaders face high demands. One of the demands is that the leaders, irrespective of what level they are at, are well prepared and competent in their own area. They must be good at what they do.

This essay´s purpose was to analyse the need of a theoretical, military education of squad leaders at the Army Ranger Battalion and what effect such an education could give. The purpose was also to suggest what areas the military theory should cover to suit the ranger squad leaders.

As an introduction, an analysis of the TOEM AJB was made. The analysis focused on the unit´s behavior and tasks. The result identified factors which were specific to the unit. These factors could be used as motives for a theoretic, military education for the squad leaders. The factors were then connected to similar parts of the theory in order to show what parts could be included in an education. These parts were directly comparable with the unit´s behavior and methods they use when they operate. Finally the questions at issue were answered.

The results show that a military theoretic education should raise the squad leaders´ capacity to make their own decisions. The results also show that the parts which should be included in an education are mission tactics, indirect method including main effort, critical weaknesses, system crash and initiative. However not crucial, tactical, operative and strategic leadership should also be included in the education.

Abstract:
« La cultura adquiere importancia intelectual cuando se transforma en una fuerza con la que hay que contar politicamente » El siguiente documento es la memoria de un proyecto de título que tiene como objetivo principal rescatar aquellas potencialidades que nacen en un lugar específico : Lago Ranco, a raíz de una nueva estructura de organización política : creación de la región de los Ríos y de la provincia del Ranco el año 2006. La XIV región de Los Ríos que hasta el año 2006 abarcaba la provincia de Valdivia, perteneciente a la X región de Los Lagos destaca principalmente por su fuerte participación social, característica que logró finalmente su consolidación como región independiente luego de fuertes movimientos ciudadanos. Por otro lado es una de las regiones con mayor ruralidad, ocupando el 2do lugar a nivel país. Ambas características han sido las bases para la reorganización del territorio luego de la división regional y provincial, siendo la participación ciudadana una de las principales herramientas para la creación de políticas territoriales y de desarrollo de proyectos locales ; y junto con esto, la descentralización de los servicios una de las principales preocupaciones en un territorio altamente rural. Dentro de este contexto, el pueblo Lago Ranco (que coincide en nombre con el lago que bordea y la nueva provincia a la que pertenece) destaca por su fuerte organización social, a pesar de ser la comuna con mayor ruralidad de la región. Estas características han sido potenciadas mediante la nueva estructura política del territorio, saliendo a flote cualidades que antes parecían escondidas. De esta forma nacen, a la vez, nuevos requerimientos de infraestructura y planificación, que permitan fortalecer tales características. El proyecto de título que lleva desarrollo desde marzo del 2011 hasta la fecha de entrega de este documento (diciembre del 2011), pretende dar respuesta a estas necesidades que nacen en Lago Ranco a partir de la creación de la Región de Los Ríos y potenciar aquellas actividades de carácter social que son propias y únicas de este lugar.

Abstract:
The use of wilderness rangers to educate visitors on Without-A-Trace camping and wilderness ethics at trailheads is a common management practice, but little is known about how such contacts affect the visitors' wilderness experiences. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Shining Rock Wilderness visitors perceived trailhead contacts as light-handed or heavy-handed and the factors which caused them to perceive the contact the way they did. It also determined whether or not the visitors felt that site conditions in the wilderness were getting better or worse. On-site questionnaires were administered to visitors as they left the area. A majority felt the trailhead contact was a light-handed way to manage wilderness use. The visitors felt that the contact did not take away their freedom to choose how, when or where to recreate. The rangers were perceived as friendly, knowledgeable, and non-authoritarian. The condition of Shining Rock Wilderness was perceived to be relatively free of site impacts. There were no significant differences in the visitors' perceptions of the ranger or the contact due to the sex or experience of the ranger or the sex, age, or experience of the visitors. Implications for wilderness management and research are discussed.

My thesis is a human intervention into the tranquil and natural environment of Pandapas Pond and the Jefferson National Forest. Although the form of the intervention embraces the landscape and natural land formations, its purpose is to take the visitor along a path that translates the experience from one of participation to that of observation of the parkâ s surroundings. This is both an investigation of an architectural integration with the site and a partial separation of the inhabiter from his/her natural surroundings.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum combination of various cattle production, range forage, and crop harvesting alternatives available to ranch owners and managers in Utah. While many promising alternatives are available, determining which alternatives to implement is difficult because the total ranch operation must be considered. Linear programming (LP) is a tool available to ranch managers which allows the profit maximizing combination of improvements to be easily determined. LP allows ranchers to examine the entire ranch operation and to reduce the amount of risk and uncertainty involved in the decision making process. The typical Utah ranch operation was described from a sample of 96 Utah ranches. Sixteen potential cattle options, 11 range forage options, and 3 crop options were developed to improve net variable cash ranch income of the typical Utah ranch. An LP model was developed to determine the optimum combination and level of options, the most efficient options, and the limiting constraints. Four scenarios based on range site and bush infestation type were compared to add flexibility to the model. The optimal solution ran 266 brood cows under the O'Connor Management System (cows in moderate body condition at calving, 60-day calving season, 48-hour calf removal, cows gaining weight for 5 weeks starting 2 weeks before breeding season, and cows bred to fertile bulls) compared to 196 brood cows under the typical situation. In all optimization runs, burning big sage brush (artemesia tridentata) or pinyon-juniper (Pinus - Juniperus) infestations on crested wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum) foothill ranges was the most economically efficient range forage option. The most economically efficient crop option was the combination of grazing the grass hayfields and custom harvesting the alfalfa hayfields. It was necessary to construct stock water ponds and properly distribute salt to increase summer forage availability. The optimum combination of improvements required 808 hours of hired labor. The net variable cash ranch income after burning sagebrush or pinyon-juniper types was $56,145 and $55,861, respectively compared to $31,278 for the typical Utah cow-calf operation. The optimal solution will change as input and product prices change. The model was not designed to make general recommendations but to be applied to specific ranching operations.

Abstract:
Many have decried the lack of civility in Congress. However, to this point, few have attempted to isolate individual level explanations for the lack of comity. This research attempts to rectify this lapse. Through matched pair analysis using quota sampling with replacement, the significant predictors of uncivil behaviors are isolated in a Logistic regression. Initially, a sample is established using the New York Times and Washington Post, 1933-2005, inclusive. This time period begins with the 73rd Congress and ends with the 109th. Incidents of incivility were catalogued and the details concerning the individuals involved were gathered. In the end, the research finds several significant predictors of incivility; tenure, ideological extremism, electoral safety, and previous state legislative experience are all significantly associated with the likelihood of engaging in uncivil acts. By isolating the factors that likely contribute to incivility, it may be possible to make recommendations concerning the recruitment of future candidates; recommendations that may lead to a more productive legislature.

O respectivo trabalho tem como prisma analisar uma série de depoimentos dados por militares que participaram dos acontecimentos políticos no Brasil, que culminaram no 31 de março de 1964. Os depoentes tiveram um papel relevante durante os 21 anos de governo militar. A marca da análise fixa-se em apontamentos que mostrem dentro dos depoimentos os ressentimentos que os homens de farda expuseram em suas falas. Ressentimentos galgados principalmente no anticomunismo e na visão ruim que as forças armadas ficaram perante a sociedade após o fim do regime.O trabalho se estrutura mostrando como se iniciou no exército brasileiro o papel de uma instituição que deveria exercer uma participação política direta no país, além de se ver como a fonte da reserva moral da nação e guardiã dos preceitos de patriotismo e nacionalismo. Isso feito para mostrar que a intervenção ocorrida em 1964 não foi fruto de imediatismos ou por ordenação estrangeira em conluio com o capital nacional, onde os militares seriam meros joguetes. A intervenção precisa ser analisada a partir de uma ótica que perceba os motivos e intenções que fizeram as Forças Armadas destituírem do poder o presidente João Goulart. Dentro dos depoimentos também será analisada a questão da memória dos militares no tocante a assuntos estreitamente ligados ao período: o porquê da derrubada de João Goulart, a repressão aos opositores, a questão da tortura e outros assuntos recorrentes ao período analisado. O fechamento do trabalho vai dar-se a partir de uma análise direta nos depoimentos onde está exposto de maneira explícita ou implícita os ressentimentos dos militares no tocante aos ocorridos antes e após os acontecimentos do 31 de março de 1964.

Abstract:

The recent and rapid growth of horizontal drilling in the Anadarko basin necessitates newer studies to characterize reservoir and source rock quality in the region. Most oil production in the basin comes from the Granite Wash reservoirs, which are composed of stacked tight sandstones and conglomerates that range from Virgillian (305–299 Ma) to Atokan (311–309.4 Ma) in age. By utilizing geophysical well logging data available in raster format, the Granite Wash reservoirs and their respective marine flooding surfaces were stratigraphically mapped across the regional fault systems. Additionally, well log trends were calibrated with coincident core data to minimize uncertainty regarding facies variability and lateral continuity of these intervals. In this thesis, inferred lithofacies were grouped into medium submarine fan lobe, distal fan lobe, and offshore facies (the interpreted depositional environments). By creating isopach and net sand maps in Petra, faulting in the Missourian was determined to have occurred syndepositionally at the fifth order scale of stratigraphic hierarchy.

Abstract:
A number of factors contribute to the importance of careful consideration in the placement of new stock ponds and the prioritization of cleaning or reconstruction of existing ponds. Various pond site and watershed characteristics were compared between non-functioning and functioning ponds in southeast Arizona. Development of a predictive model for pond-watershed relationships included analysis of the relationships associated with isohyetal and isothermic designations, using data readily available within the study area. There appear to be few differences in the materials used for dam construction, pond shape, estimated watershed Curve Numbers, mean number of days at capacity per year, or mean number of days dry per year. The differences are more apparent when considering pond depth, maximum capacity and percent of runoff captured. There is a strong correlation between pond volume and watershed area for functioning ponds, particularly in the broadleaf woodland vegetation type (r² = 0.99, n =11).

In creating psychoanalysis, at the end of the 19th century, Freud dedicated himself to explain the epistemological foundations in which he grounds his assumption of having created a new science, a new branch of natural sciences, with which it shared these epistemological foundations as well as its Weltanschauung. In mid-twentieth century, originating at the critique of psychoanalytical scientificity that came especially from neopositivist epistemology, it fell to Jacques Lacan to resume the question of psychoanalytical epistemology and to consolidate it over new foundations. The present thesis seeks to highlight the fact that, after the lacanian approach to the issue, an original way of conceiving psychoanalysis comes from outside of the psychoanalytical field, more precisely from Jacques Derrida?s philosophy. According to Derrida, psychoanalysis not only doesn?t fit in its entirety within the limits of a regional science, but it also comes to constitute, in harmony with derridean graphemathics, an original way of viewing the constitution of reality in general. The thesis follows the path of derridian critique to freudian epistemology and to lacanian structuralist psychoanalysis of the 1950?s, regarding the contemporary thought that seeks, in the last Lacan through the psychoanalytical field, and in Alain Badiou through the field of philosophy, the foundations of both in the fields of mathematical formalisation. Other than allowing to conceive a new psychoanalytical epistemology consolidated in his philosophy, the thesis follows Derrida in pointing at the challenging paths of a psychoanalysis to come.
Ao criar a psican?lise, a partir do final do s?culo XIX, Freud dedicou-se a explicitar os fundamentos epistemol?gicos em que alicer?ava sua pretens?o de haver criado uma nova ci?ncia, um novo ramo das ci?ncias naturais, com as quais ela compartilhava, portanto, tanto estes fundamentos epistemol?gicos quanto sua Weltanschauung. Em meados do s?culo XX, e agora a partir da cr?tica ? cientificidade da psican?lise provinda especialmente da epistemologia neopositivista, coube a Jacques Lacan retomar a quest?o da epistemologia da psican?lise para alicer??-la sobre outros fundamentos. A presente tese procura evidenciar que, ap?s a abordagem lacaniana do problema, vem de fora da psican?lise, mais precisamente da filosofia de Jacques Derrida, uma maneira original de conceber a psican?lise. Para Derrida, a psican?lise n?o apenas n?o cabe toda dentro dos limites de uma ci?ncia regional, como vem a constituir, em harmonia com a grafem?tica derridiana, uma maneira original de pensar a constitui??o da realidade em geral. A tese percorre os caminhos da cr?tica derridiana ? epistemologia freudiana e ? psican?lise estruturalista lacaniana dos anos 50 do s?culo XX, at? encontrar-se com o pensamento contempor?neo que busca, no ?ltimo Lacan pelo campo da psican?lise, e em Alain Badiou pelo campo da filosofia, a fundamenta??o destas no campo da formaliza??o matem?tica. Al?m de permitir pensar uma nova epistemologia da psican?lise alicer?ada em sua filosofia, a tese acompanha Derrida ao apontar para os desafiadores rumos de uma psican?lise por vir.

Abstract:
The western guest ranch evolved out of an era when American literature, film, and radio romanticized the cowboy and his landscape as symbols of the frontier west. As with architectural style, landscape imagery was a powerful tool in conveying social trends. Research briefly details the evolution of the dude ranch and its development in southeastern Arizona. Specific area of study is the San Simon and Sulphur Springs Valley of present day Cochise County, Arizona. A brief history of the region's settlement is provided. The location, landscape, facilities, and entertainment of eight guest "dude" ranches in the study area is described. A detailed examination of Faraway Ranch is provided, including site plans, photographs, and inventory of existing vegetation. The vernacular landscape of the southeastern Arizona guest ranch is identified. Reasons for the appeal of a guest ranch and its landscape to patrons is described.

Full text
Abstract:
The only available broiler strain to use in organic chicken meat production, until recently, has been conventional fast growing broiler hybrids. The Rowan Ranger is a broiler strain that has a naturally slower growth rate which makes this strain suitable for organic farming, meeting the demands of KRAV without being subjected to a feed restriction. One of the farms in Sweden using Rowan Ranger in their organic production is Bosarp farm in Skåne County where they produce KRAV certified chickens and where the animals used in this study were raised. This study compared differences between a naturally slow growing strain of chicken to a fast growing strain to see whether there were differences in behaviour between the two, if one of the strains was more susceptive to stress than the other and whether they differed in outdoor use and activity level. Regardless of strain, chickens used the outdoor perimeter the same, although the Rowan Rangers did not range as far from the chicken house as Ross 308. Even so, they seem to be more suitable in an organic setting than Ross 308 due to the fact that they seem less hungry and more content, this based on the fact that they perform less feeding behaviour and spend more time laying down. Also, they grow nicely to slaughter weight with a good diet quality whereas Ross 308 need to be qualitative feed restricted to do the same, giving the Rowan Rangers better welfare.

Abstract:
The present study was a longitudinal analysis of the information needs of Red Angus cattle breeders and their use of networked information services. It was based on two surveys. The first, conducted in 1995--96, polled all 1067 ranches of the Red Angus Association of America. Responses from 192 Red Angus breeders were used to determine the value of different information types and to evaluate perceptions of the greatest barriers to the adoption of network information services. The second survey, mailed to 41 Red Angus breeders in 1998, focused on early adopters and likely users of network services. Responses from 15 breeders were used to evaluate perceptions of the greatest barriers to the effective use of Web-based information services.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I examined the lives of my great-grandparents, Oscar and Emma Swett. Oscar began a homestead in the Uinta Mountains in 1909, which he successfully ran for nearly sixty years. My grandmother was born on the ranch, and my own father spent much of his time there. I look at how land policy changed from encouraging ranching and farming in the early 1900's to tourism and recreation in the 1960's, with the coming of the Flaming Gorge Dam. The lives of my great-grandparents and their children were shaped by these changes and they felt the consequences of the shifting values of the Forest Service and government. I used many primary documents in my research, from interviews given by the Swett children to photographs and documents. I also drew from literature and research by other western authors, such as Wallace Stegner, Mary Clearman Blew, and Steve Trimble. I connected my personal and family stories and memories with the larger framework of land policy in the West and the culture of ranching families similar to my own family. This enabled me to show how land policy affected many individuals and families on a personal level, looking through the prism of my own family and experiences.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to show how organizations involved with the Hearst Ranch Conservation Easement negotiations might have used the feedback loop characteristic of two-way Symmetrical communication theory to reach consensus on the Hearst Ranch Conservation Agreement. Conservation easements are complex situations and each has separate and distinct goals, constraints, compromises, funding mechanisms, and public values. This study analyzed public documents from seven different organizations that provided input in the public consultations regarding the Hearst Ranch Conservation Easement, which completed in 2005. This study concluded that one of the communication methods adopted during the Hearst Ranch Conservation Negotiation was Hunt and Grunig’s two-way symmetrical communication theory.

Full text
Abstract:
La variabilité spatio-temporelle des populations et des peuplements benthiques a été étudiée dans un système profondement transformé dont les caractéristiques physiques sont, pour une grande part, déterminées par l'homme : le bassin maritime de la rance, site unique par son aménagement marémoteur. Si la comparaison de l'état des populations et des peuplements benthiques de substrats meubles entre 1976 et 1995 met en évidence des évolutions ponctuelles liées à une modification de l'hétérogénéite de l'habitat (envasement du secteur amont, abaissement du niveau moyen bas des eaux et prolifération du mollusque crepidula fornicata), elle permet néanmoins de conclure quant à leur grande stabilité. Le suivi de la sous-unité des sables fins vaseux à la station du chatelais laisse à penser que la diminution générale des abondances constatée en 1995 pourrait être la conséquence de conditions hivernales 1994-1995 rudes. Parmi les facteurs déterminant la variabilité des populations, les prédateurs endoges, en régulant les effectifs de recrues benthiques, sont susceptibles de jouer un rôle non négligeable. Les études expérimentales, conduites sur des recrues du polychète nereis diversicolor comme modèle de proie et le polychète prédateur nephtys hombergii, ont montré que l'activité prédatrice de ce dernier s'affirme lorsque la température des eaux atteint 9-11c et devient alors relativement constante et indépendante des modalités de fluctuations de ce paramètre. A une densité de 114 ind. M#-#2, un n. Hombergii adulte est capable d'éliminer une biomasse sèche de recrues est également influencée par l'âge des prédateurs, la mortalité induite par des individus immatures étant plus élevée. En outre, l'émigration des recrues de n. Diversicolor est d'autant plus importante que la densité de prédateurs est élevée et que l'on se rapproche des conditions d'eau calme. Ces résultats sont discutés en termes de conditions d'établissement des communautés de substitution et du déterminisme de leur évolution ainsi qu'en termes de conséquences de la modification à long terme de la diversité des espèces et des habitats sur la structure des unités cénotiques. Sont également pris en compte l'importance relative des fluctuations à court et long terme sur la structure du peuplement des sédiments fins vaseux et le mécanisme régulateur qu'est la prédation endogée. Enfin, des modalités de gestion de la biodiversité benthique, tenant compte du rythme d'exploitation du bassin, sont proposées.

Abstract:
The intent of this study was to provide a summative evaluation of the educational program at Arizona Boys Ranch. A survey was distributed to teachers and educational administrators, program documents were obtained, interviews were held with those surveyed, and observations took place throughout 1997. The major areas studied were curriculum, student assessment, educational locale, personnel patterns, student characteristics, and community/agency partnerships. The educational program states that it is part of a blend with the overall philosophy of Arizona Boys Ranch, where individual treatment, behavior modification, independent living skills, basic counseling, work ethic, service to the community, restitution, and transition are additional areas of focus. However, a composite of the data indicated a trend of the educational program's use of a traditional curriculum, traditional student assessment strategies, and traditional teacher evaluation methods.

Full text
Abstract:
Un grand nombre d'activités "artisano-industrielles" a existé dans le bassin hydraulique de la Rance au XIXème siècle, survivances de métiers "ancestraux" (travail du cuir, meunerie, textile. . . )mais aussi industries nouvelles, en relation avec les demandes d'un monde en mutation (fabrication du sucre, de la chaux, des briques. . . ). Installées en milieu rural comme urbain, ces petites industries ne créent pas de césure brutale avec leur environnement. Ni par les moyens adoptés, ni par les formes achitecturales mises en oeuvre, se glissant alors dans la peau d'un bâti préexistant ou générant leurs propres structures, le plus souvent en étroite relation avec l'architecture vernaculaire. Ici, point de "take-off", mais un conservatisme adapté dont les formules marquent le pas au tournant du XXème siècle. C'est à partir de l'étude détaillée des sites, fruit du dépouillement d'un grand nombre d'archives et d'un travail de terrain systématique faisant appel aux méthodes de l'archéologie industrielle, que l'histoire (aspects chronologiques, socio-économiques, techniques, relation au fleuve) a pu être reconstituée, les formes architecturales définies et qu'il a été procédé à un bilan patrimonial de ce monde qui tend aujourd'hui à s'effacer, sous l'effet de différents facteurs (pression de la ville, agriculture intensive. . . ), de la faible visibilité architecturale de la plupart des sites et de la non reconnaissance historique fondamantale de cette industrie "en sabots" qui participa pourtant d'un "art de vivre" basé sur la pluriactivité. L'étude est présentée en cinq volumes conjuguant texte (volume I), cartes, plans, tableaux, documents iconographiques, reproductions d'imprimés, de manuscrits (volumes II à IV) et notices se rapportant aux sites étudiés (volume V)
A quite large number of " artisanal-industrial " activities existed in the hydraulic basin of the Rance during the XIXth century, which were left from ancestral trade (working of leather, milling, textile), but also new industiries in connexion with the demands of a developping world (making of sugar, lime, bricks) As well-settled in a rural area as in an urban area, those small industries don't make any savage difference with their environment. Neither by the adopted means nor by the made use of architectural forms which could take the appearence of an already existing building or which could generate their own structure, the most of the time in strict connexion with the vernaculary architecture. Here is the take-off, but an adapted conservatiism of which the formulas announce the XXth turning's point. It's from detailed study of the sites, result of an extensive scruteny of a large number of archives, and of a real research on the sites, with the industrial archaeologies methods, that the story (chronological, socio-economical and technical aspects, relation with the river) could have been reconstructed, the architectural forms could have been definite and that we could carry out on an patrimonial outcome of that world which tends now disappear, because of different factors (pressure of the town, intensive farming), because of the weak architectural visibility of most of the sites and of the historical non-accepted and fundamental of that industry, which took part in a " way of life " based on the pluriactivities. The study is presented in five volumes, with text (volume I), maps , plans, tables, icons, printed reproductions of manuscripts (volumes II to IV), and notes based upon the studies sites (volume V)

Full text
Abstract:
L'abbe armand-jean de rance (1626-1700), reformateur de la trappe, a connu une eclipse dont il commence a peine a sortir. Ce renouveau d'interet et de justice s'appuie entre autres sur l'edition de sa correspondance (1993) par a. J. Krailsheimer. Mais celle-ci risque de majorer le cote reste mondain du personnage, et de minorer la place du fait monastique dans sa vie. L'edition et notre commentaire de plusieurs "relations de la vie et de la mort de quelques religieux de l'abbaye de la trappe" ont pour but d'apporter un eclairage complementaire, issu de la vie meme de la trappe. Ces relations n'ont n'ont ete que tardivement reunies en un seul ouvrage : il s'agit en fait d'une collection de notices parues peu a peu et ne concernant que 56 des 276 moines decedes de 1677 a 1715. On n'utilisera que les notices qui ont ete preparees par rance lui-meme, soit les 36 editees entre 1683 et 1696. Tout en se rattachant au genre litteraire fastidieux et lugubre de la necrologie, elles poursuivent en realite un but bien different : rappeler a ceux qui suivront l'exemplarite des initiateurs de la reforme, et surtout les objectifs et les methodes de celle-ci. La these est essentiellement une etude de theologie spirituelle : dans son commentaire des relations, elle analysera les motivations des personnes et la doctrine spirituelle de la reforme, non d'apres des ecrits theoriques, mais dans les declarations et les elans de ceux qui la vivent. Elle s'interrogera sur les griefs habituellement opposes a rance : le soupcon de jansenisme, les accusations de rigorisme theologique outre, le regime penitentiel exagere, les restrictions dans les etudes et les lectures. Elle soulignera aussi, pensons-nous, sa discretion et sa disponibilite, et surtout sa maitrise dans la direction spirituelle, qualites principales d'un homme etonnant, dont l'oeuvre est toujours vivante apres trois siecles
The abbot armand-jean de rance (1626-1700), reformer at la trappe, was put at the back for a long time, but is now coming in the front, mainly thanks to a. J. Krailsheimer, editor of the abbot's correspondance (1993). However this book may have the effect of overestimating the wordly face of rance and underestimating his real monastic life. Our edition with a commentary of some "relations de la vie et de la mort de quelques religieux de l'abbaye de la trappe" ("reports on the lives and deaths of some monks at the abbey of la trappe", tries to give a supplementary view, taken from the very monastic life at la trappe. The "reports" are not a proper book, but only the grasp of some notices scattered to and fro about only 56 out of the 276 monks who died at la trappe between 1677 and 1715. Only were consulted the notices written by rance himself, that is 36 ones published between 1683 and 1696. Though belonging to the irksome and dull style of necrologies, they aim at another purpose : to remind to the monks coming next the pattern of the regorm, its aimes and method. The thesis mainly bears on spiritual theology : the commentary of the reports is an analysis of the motives and spiritual doctrine of the actors of the reform. It questions the suspicion of jansenism, the accusation of exaggerated theological rigorism, the rule excessive of penances, the restraint from studies of which rance was charged. But it tries to show rance's reserve and cheerfullness, and prudence in the government of souls, which are the main qualities of a surprising personnality whose work is still real, three centuries after is was done

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis conducts historical research into Swanton Pacific Ranch in the County of Santa Cruz, an interdisciplinary facility for education and research managed by Cal Poly’s College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences. The study seeks to determine whether there have been discernable changes in vegetation alliances (communities), spatially or in type, within a 110-acre Study Area from the early twentieth century to the present day and how the changes compare with other similar historical analyses in California. Historical farming and ranching uses of the area are researched, and two family case studies are presented as paradigms of potential changes to vegetation as well as the connectivity with the larger socioeconomic context of Italian immigration into California. Examination of the vegetation alliances over the course of the historical study period utilizes several types of historical imagery, including twentieth-century aerial photography, ground level photography and nineteenth-century maps. This thesis diverges from scholarship that posits substantial alteration of ecological systems by anthropogenic activities by arguing that the primary alliances and geospatial borders of the vegetation in the Study area have remained essentially stable, i.e., unchanged at a macro level, since at least the early twentieth century, and that this stability has persisted despite long-term agricultural activities. This thesis contributes to the historiography of Swanton Pacific Ranch by providing a preliminary exploration of the botanic resources and the attendant anthropogenic agricultural activities on the land that may have affected those resources. It provides a framework for further study of Ranch resources as well as the cultural context of the agricultural history of the North Coast-Santa Cruz region.

Abstract:
An assessment of the natural resources on Chapungu Ranch, Zimbabwe, was undertaken for the purpose of incorporating this ranch into the larger Sango Ranch. The geological description was based on literature, whilst the soils were classified using the soil taxonomic system described for Zimbabwe. The seven soils types on Chapungu Ranch were from the Amorphic, Calcimorphic and Natric orders and varied considerably in terms of depth, texture and chemical composition. Most soils were fertile and supported a herbaceous layer generally referred to as sweetveld. A phytosociological classification and structural analysis of the vegetation identified nine plant communities and 15 subcommunities on Chapungu Ranch. Separation of plant communities was mostly influenced by the geological formations and soils. Each community was described in terms of its species composition and structure. The dry mass of the herbaceous layer was quantified using the disc pasture meter and the composition of the herbaceous layer using the step-point method. The veld condition ranged from moderate (30.1%) to very good (60.4%) and the biomass production ranged from very low to high. The browsing capacity was determined using the BECVOL method. On Chapungu only 15.4% of the total browse was available to browsers, 5.0% of the browse was available for herbivores up to 2 m and 10.4% of the browse was available to browsers feeding between >2 – 5 m in height. Grazing capacity of different plant communities ranged from 7 GU/100 ha to 38 GU/100 ha with a mean of 25 GU/100 ha. The browsing capacity ranged from as low as 0.3 BU/100 ha to 13 BU/100 ha with a mean of 9 BU/100 ha. In 2003,Chapungu Ranch had the capacity to carry 3 331 GU and 1 169 BU whereas the stocking density was 2 199 GU and 3 029 BU. After the integration of Chapungu Ranch into Sango Ranch seven management units were identified. Animal populations were described in terms of population size and their spatial and temporal trends for the entire Sango Ranch. The populations of bushbuck, bushpig, Livingston’s eland, hippopotamus, impala, greater kudu, warthog, leopard, cheetah, baboon and vervet monkey were already at ecological capacity when monitoring commenced, however, populations of black rhinoceros, common duiker, African elephant, klipspringer, sable antelope, Sharpe’s grysbuck, waterbuck, blue wildebeest, Burchell’s zebra, black-backed jackal and wilddog reached ecological capacity within the past 14 years. The populations for African buffalo, giraffe, nyala, white rhinoceros, lion and spotted hyena had still not reached ecological capacity. Evaluation of the long-term monitoring program indicated that the stocking density for the grazer units (GU) exceeded the grazing capacity during the 2006/2007 season whilst the browsing capacity has been exceeded since the inception of the monitoring program in 2000. Recommendations are made towards improving artificial water provision, erosion control and road management. Additionally, recommendations are presented on fire management, alien plant control, stocking density, elephant impact, vegetation harvesting, waste management and wildlife utilization. Finally, four research priorities were identified which included studies on sable antelope, lion, spotted hyena and brown hyena and small mammals on Sango Ranch.

Abstract:
Cette étude s'inscrit dans le cadre de la géomorphologie structurale. Le but en est d'apporter une explication à la répartition des formes du relief par rapport aux nouvelles conceptions tectoniques. Pour examiner ce lien, les déformations et les contraintes ont été calculées à partir des dolines des crêtes. L'intérêt de la montagne de Velebit tient à sa grande densité en formes karstiques et à sa dynamique tectonique récente. Ce travail a permis de dégager une nouvelle méthodologie en la matière. 2 méthodes géologiques, la méthode de centre et celle de projection, ont été adaptées aux conditions géomorphologiques. Les contraintes et les déformations ont été calculées à partir de la distribution spatiale des dolines, pour détecter les influences tectoniques récentes, et à partir de la morphologie des crêtes, pour distinguer les différents types d'influences tectoniques récentes et anciennes. Un intérêt particulier a été porté sur les variations spatiales des paramètres mesurés, lesquels sont examinés à travers la méthode des trajectoires. Les résultats acquis dans les 1ères parties ont été utilisés pour l'élaboration de plusieurs modèles numériques. La 1ère serie de modèles utilise les résultats d'analyse morphologique alors que la 2e consiste en la simulation cinématique. Le but en est d'apporter des éléments explicatifs sur les causes principales des distributions de contraintes et de déformations, obtenues précédemment. La comparaison de résultats, issus de méthodes différentes et d'analyses à différentes échelles, a permis d'établir en termes quantitatifs, le lien étroit qui existe entre les deux formes de relief étudiées et la tectonique. Enfin, cette étude met en exergue l'importance de la géomorphologie dans l'étude de la géodynamique et celle de la tectonique dans l'étude des formes du relief

Abstract In this study, the retinoscopy and infrared range finders were utilized to develop a simple refractive error measuring device. Ophthalmologists and optometrists can increase the accuracy of measurements in optometry by using this measuring device. Currently, the most of ophthalmologists and optometrists implement the optometric refraction, they still use the retinoscopy, which is not convenient to use. Instated, they still adopt visually measure the distance with a ruler or experience to convert into diopter and cased a huge refractive error value. This study adopts the infrared ranging module, which can increase the accuracy of measuring and provide great prescription for ophthalmologists and optometrists. During the inspection process, ophthalmologists and optometrists can use retinoscopy and infrared range finders to easily implement an optometric examination, while the patient views at both distance and near for the patient’s different visual needs, most important it can offer the accuracy of the corrective lens prescription.
