Abstract:
The disputed etymology of the river-name Stour is revisited. It is suggested that an ‘Old European’ river-name was taken for an OE adjective, and that this adjective with its antonym represented in the river-name Blyth expressed the principal opposition in the classificatory system imposed on rivers in the Anglo-Saxon period.

Abstract:
The article presents the linguistic analysis of hydronyms of the Central Russia. The origin is considered of the names of large rivers (more than 100 km long) from the Moscow, Kaluga, Oryol, Yaroslavl, Ivanovo, Vladimir, Ryazan, Kostroma, Tver, Nizhny Novgorod, Vologda regions. The systematization of hydronyms that appeared in the Baltic language environment was carried out. The results indicate that the names of the rivers have an etymology associated with such concepts as a river, channel, stream. The basis for river names are verbs in Present Tense, third person singular, while the lake names stem from verbs in Past Tense, third person singular. It was also discovered that in modern river names, Slavic and Finno-Ugric vowels of the Baltic hydronyms are very common. The suggested approach helps accurately localize the settlements of Slavic and Finno-Ugric tribes in space as well as time. At the same time, the range of Baltic hydronyms turned out wider than it had been expected. The obtained results enable to clarify the archaeological and historical aspects of the life of ancient people in the Central Russia.

Abstract:
This study of river names seeks to deepen our understanding of the pre-modern environmental history of northern Vietnam. A performative practice, naming places often reveals the transformation of a physical environment into a cultural one. By analysing the names given to antecedents of the Red River in northern Vietnam, this article argues that each historical name reflected its users’ perception of their relationship with a respective river. Toponyms like Lô, Phú Lương, Nhị, and ‘Great River’, therefore, did not simply represent the present-day Red River — a geographical unit that dates to the French colonial period.

Abstract:
Environmental information from place-names has largely been overlooked by geoarchaeologists and fluvial geomorphologists in analyses of the depositional histories of rivers and floodplains. Here, new flood chronologies for the rivers Teme, Severn, and Wye are presented, modelled from stable river sections excavated at Broadwas, Buildwas, and Rotherwas. These are connected by the Old English term *wæsse, interpreted as ‘land by a meandering river which floods and drains quickly’. The results reveal that, in all three places, flooding during the early medieval period occurred more frequently between AD 350–700 than between AD 700–1100, but that over time each river's flooding regime became more complex including high magnitude single events. In the sampled locations, the fluvial dynamics of localized flood events had much in common, and almost certainly differed in nature from other sections of their rivers, refining our understanding of the precise nature of flooding which their names sought to communicate. This study shows how the toponymic record can be helpful in the long-term reconstruction of historic river activity and for our understanding of past human perceptions of riverine environments.

Abstract:
Cheshire, settled by Anglo-Saxons in the later seventh century, has many placenames of British origin, as well as Irish place-names given by tenth-century migrants from Ireland. Twenty-seven real or supposed instances are discussed here: Arclid, Antrobus, Arrow, Bollin, Brynn, Cilgwri, Crewe, Dane, Dee, Eccleston, Goyt, Ince, Landican, Liscard, Lostock, Lyme, Mellor, Mottram, Noctorum, Peover, Rhedynfre, Tarvin, Tintwistle, Tybrunawt/Tybrunawg, Weaver, Werneth, Wheelock. Ten of them are provided with derivations at variance with The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names and other handbooks. Also discussed are three Welsh forms (Cilgwri, Rhedynfre, Tybrunawt/Tybrunawg) sometimes related to Cheshire. Although the second is certainly Farndon in the county’s south-west, the first and third have no Cheshire link. Cilgwri may be identified as a place near Corwen, Denbighshire. Tybrunawt/Tybrunawg or ‘Brunian House, House on (the River) Browney’, a book-name for the location of the Battle of Brunanburh in 937, should be identified with the Roman fortress of Lanchester above the River Brune or Browney, Co. Durham. Hence Brunanburh means ‘fortress of the Browney’. Other historical information is provided by Arclid, apparently the Arecluta where the British-Latin writer Gildas was born in 493. Analysis of toponyms thus provides new data on Cheshire’s past, while refuting earlier theories.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis classifies Inuit place names and analyses their meanings to reveal Harvaqtuurmiut land-use history on the Harvaqtuuq [Kazan River], Nunavut Territory. The author collected previously unrecorded toponyms from the territory of this Caribou Inuit society, the Harvaqtuuq [Kazan River], and corroborated the data of earlier researchers. The Harvaqtuuq landscape was organized from foci of subsistence activities by application of Inuktitut geographical terminology and concepts. These foci moved over time and betray changing land-use patterns. The Harvaqtuuq was a frontier for Inuit, due to the need to depend on caribou, and due to the conflict engendered by overlapping Dene occupation. The presence of anthroponyms, and the paucity of pan-Inuit myths in the landscape allow for the speculative interpretation that the names support current theories of a recent arrival of Inuit to the Harvaqtuuq .

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an ethnographic account of the indigenous history and colonization of the upper Tapajós river in Brazil. Research was conducted using archival materials in which I searched for the different conceptualizations of river movements and routes, of either Indians or colonizers. During the period of penetration in the region called “Mundurucânica”, several native groups living in the savannah and at the riverbanks, started to be used as a labour-force, but above all, they worked as interpreters thereby enabling colonization on these Amazonian rivers around the Tapajós. If, on one hand, native groups were violated by colonization, on the other, they have shaped and influenced the penetration, demonstrating their active involvement in this historical process. With the arrival of Franciscan priests and the ultimate establishment of the Cururu Mission, exchanges between indigenous people and colonizers became impregnated with mythical fragments. These relations of displacements and encounters between indigenous groups—that in turn influenced colonization efforts—with local cultural values and practices is still a relatively little explored topic in anthropology. This thesis synthesises the history of the colonization of a region of the Brazilian Amazonian rainforest from the point of view of its indigenous inhabitants. It considers the pacification of the Indians in the 18th and 19th centuries, presenting ethnographic material of the indigenous groups that have moved into the Tapajós region and examines their social logic of interethnic contact. I analyze fragments of material culture, myths and naming such as they appear in the literature so as to track down the spatial dynamics of indigenous Amazonia and its landscape transformations.

Abstract:
During the last decades a big gap has opened between onomastics on the one side and Indo-European linguistics on the other, because the progresses made in Indo-European linguistics have not been integrated into the study of onomastics any longer in a sufficient way. The article tries to close this gap by giving an outline of some of the main features of modern Indo-European linguistics. Those features are then used to reexamine the etymologies of several presumably rather old river-names and of one of the Indo-European words for "water". This sometimes leads to a reevaluation of existing etymologies. The author hopes that this article might be seen as an incentive for researchers in onomastics to care more about the findings of Indo-European linguistics again.

Abstract:
O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar os topônimos referentes à hidrografia do município de São Bernardo do Campo e os referentes aos logradouros do bairro de Rudge Ramos, comparando-os, a fim de que através do nome se possa contar ou recontar diferentes aspectos da história local, considerando, para isso, fatores extralinguísticos presentes no ato da nomeação. Dentre estes aspectos está a observância de dois momentos distintos de nomeação: o primeiro, referente aos cursos dágua, em muitos momentos e juntamente com os principais caminhos e nomes de maior importância, mostra-se reflexo do ambiente físico ou social da época da nomeação; o segundo, acerca dos logradouros, se coloca como reflexo de um momento histórico mais recente, pós-imigração. Diante disso, consegue-se verificar que a ocupação do bairro pelos imigrantes, em especial de origem italiana, favoreceu a motivação toponímica. O desmembramento de antigas chácaras e sítios em loteamentos fez com que nos nomes estivessem refletidos os antropônimos dos proprietários. Na perspectiva de verificar dois momentos de nomeação, os nomes de origem indígena presentes no bairro de Rudge Ramos, traduzidos e catalogados em fichas lexicográfico-toponímicas, demonstram-se desvinculados do ambiente físico motivador. Por isso, verifica-se que são esses nomes indígenas, aqui caracterizados como formadores de um núcleo toponímico, resultado de um modismo. Os demais nomes indígenas, dos cursos dágua, relacionam-se com o ambiente que os motivou, não sendo, por isso, nomes transplantados. São, na verdade, nomes espontâneos e originais da região. A realidade toponímica da região mostra outros núcleos toponímicos. Está demonstrada, com a alta frequência de topônimos de natureza antropo-cultural no bairro e baixa frequência nos cursos dágua, a realidade de nomear os loteamentos com homenagens. Os cursos dágua, cujas nomeações são mais antigas, mostram aspectos históricos mais antigos da região, como a exploração do solo e da madeira. Além disso, este trabalho inscreve-se na linha metodológica de pesquisa do projeto ATESP (Atlas Toponímico do Estado de São Paulo) e em sua variação do Atlas das Cidades, considerando, além da organização dos topônimos em Fichas, a verificação da motivação toponímica dos nomes.
The purpose of this research is to analyse the toponimies related to the hidrografy of São Bernardo do Campo town and the ones related to place names of Rudge Ramos district, comparing them, in order to, through the name we can tell or retell different aspects of local history, considering, to do that, extralinguistics factories present in the designated act. Among these aspects, there is the observation of the two distinct moments of denomination: the first, related to the rivers, in many moments and together with the main paths and more important names, show reflexies of the phisic or social environment of the nomination period of time; the second, related to the Rudge Ramos place names, put itself as a reflex of a history moment more recent, post immigration. In face of this, we can verify that the occupation of the district by the immigrants, especial the ones from Italy, supported the toponimic motivation. The separation of the old ranchs into division of the land into lots or parcels made the names of the owners had been reflected in the place names. In the perspective of verifing two moments of nomination, the names of brazilian indian origin presents in Rudge Ramos district, translated and catalogged in lexicografy-toponimic cards, show themselves without bonds considerings the phisic environment motivator. Because of that, we verify that these indian names are, in this paper, characterized as formers of a toponimic core, a result of a manner. The other indian names, of the rivers, related themselves with the environment which motivated them, and because of that they are not transported names. They are, actually, spontaneouns names and originated in the area. The toponimic reality of the area shows others toponimic cores. It is demonstrated, with the high frequency of toponimies of cultural nature in the district and low frequency in the rivers, the reality of nominating the lots with homenages. The rivers, whose nominations are older, show historic aspects more antique, like the land and wood exploration. Besides that, this paper enrols in the methodologic research line of ATESP (Toponimic Atlas of São Paulo State) project and in the variation Atlas of the Cities, considering, apart from the organization of the toponimies into cards, the examination of the toponimic motivation of the names.

Abstract This thesis focuses on the space field——Tamsui river basin and states its evolutive trace of related geographic name from Dutch-Spain times to post-The World WarⅡ.The naming method,in this field,of aboriginal people in place, immigrants under cultivation, and colonial regimes,and symbolic meaning of the Qing dynasty and Japanese colonial state reflect the native value of each era and ethnic group, and its formation of culture in Tamsui river basin. This thesis, by the research of geographic name about Tamsui river basin, tries to understand the humanistic feature of people in place and mutual historic relationship between people and land in Tamsui river basin. Three main issues in text content are researched, first, to describe the space field from the perspective of aboriginal peoples and illustrate their history presented by geographic name；secondly, to probe into the relationship between geographic name and allochthonous culture and how to become the geographic name under the affect of allochthonous culture；finally, how to revert to conventional geographic name by the operating way of transitional justice and inhabitants self-determination has been analyzed too. Moreover, four suggestions provided are as follows: 1. to encourage local scholars and tribal youth engage in field work in depth, to excavate historic memory, to construct cultural system of Taiwan history, and to build characteristic nature of Taiwan culture; 2. to keep‘non-justice sites’and increase statement of historic evolutive process at specific buildings or sites,to maintain interpretations to history in different times,and be with multiple historic perspectives instead of single ones; 3. to practice The aboriginal Peoples Basic Law is the first step of reaching transitional justice,and to rectify,necessarily,geographic name about authoritarian name on the land of aboriginal peoples in order to respect the inhabitant rights of naming and culture; 4. to blame for perpetrators in politics,law,and morality,to think over the conflict come from authority statue in democratic value in order to carry culture introspection out,and to go back to core objective of transitional justice.

Abstract:
It is not possible to determine the exact number of indigenous languages of Sarawak, one reason being the dialect-language dichotomy, as some isolects has not been ascertained. Ethnic labels may not reflect a linguistically homogenous group. That is to say that the language varieties spoken by an ethnic group may have a dialectal relationship with one another, or they may be heterogeneous, which means they are mutually unintelligible. This paper reports on the results of a lexicostatistic study that examines linguistic affiliation of a group of languages found along the Tinjar-Baram river basin, namely Berawan, Bakong, Narom, Kiput, Dali,’ and Miriek, and also their links with Kenyah Long Terawan, Lepo’ Tau and Belait in nearby Brunei. The paper also traces their historical past and describes how languages spoken by these ethnolinguistic groups have become affiliated to each other. For some reason or another, e.g. migration in search of greener pastures, internal rivalry or/and conversion to modern religions, these indigenous communities are forced to move away from their original speech communities, and they call themselves by different names in their new localities, usually after the name of a river or a mountain. These factors and categorisation on the basis of similar cultural attributes have caused misinterpretation of the identity of the indigenous groups in the past. The paper will clarify some of the misconceptions regarding the ethnolinguistic groups in the region.

Abstract:
<p>Twin-tunnels are widely constructed in large cities because of their many advantages. The first tunnel (named tunnel_1) constructed before a period time than the second tunnel (named tunnel_2) which is to reduce the disturbance between twin-tunnels. In this paper, a three-dimensional scale model of twin-tunnels is established utilizing the discrete element method (DEM) with PFC3D, this model aims to investigate the difference of the vertical displacements and the horizontal displacements of the surroundings in construction process. The numerical results indicate that the peak vertical and horizontal displacements of the surroundings around tunnel_2 are larger than those around tunnel_1. The vertical and horizontal displacements of particles decrease with the distance from the out edge of the twin-tunnels shield lining increases. The existence and evolution of soil arching during tunneling process exert great influence on the stress state and deformation of twin-tunnels surroundings. The peak horizontal displacements are larger in the lateral points of twin-tunnels, while the peak vertical displacements are larger in the vault and bottom points, the tunnel excavation leads the particles around the twin-tunnels move to new location to achieve new equilibrium state. The peak vertical and horizontal displacements occur in own tunnel excavation process, whereas the adjacent tunnel construction affects the displacements as well. The excavation and existence of tunnel_1 have magnified effect on the vertical and horizontal displacements of tunnel_2.</p>

Abstract:
The problems in the form of nonlinear partial derivative equations on graphs (nets, trees) arise in different applications. As the examples of such models we can name the circulatory and respiratory systems of the human body, the model of heavy traffic in the big cities, the model of flood water and pollution propagation in the large river systems, the model of bar structures and frames behavior under the different impacts, the model of the intensive information flows in the computer networks and others.

Abstract:
An analysis of galloping of two different types of riser fairings is presented. The first is named “long fairing” (LF) and the other “Short Crab Claw” (Short CC). The first one has a traditionally winged formed shape with a cord-to-diameter ratio of 2.43. The other one is more truncated in shape, and has cord-to-diameter ratio of only 1.4. Results from two related experimental set-ups are included in the work; one 2D experiment with towing tests of fairings that are free to translate and rotate to investigate instability regions, and one 2D experiment with fixed fairings to obtain drag, moment and lift curves. The present analysis is based on two-degrees of freedom, linearized equations of motion, and predicts a range of velocities where instability occurs. Below and above this region, the fairing is stable. Damping complicates the analysis. An empirical damping model is included and discussed. The two fairing types inhibit appreciably different instability characteristics. In particular, the Short CC fairing has a narrower instability region than the long fairing, and is therefore less prone to instabilities.

Abstract:
Petrobras oil and gas production in the deep and ultra deepwater fields in Campos Basin and other provinces off the Brazilian coast heavily relies on flexible pipes. Maximizing the availability and reliability of an extensive offshore pipeline network poses innumerous challenges to the Company, which is steadily moving towards a condition based approach to maintenance of their flexible risers. In this context, Petrobras, in cooperation with its academic partners, has launched a comprehensive R&D program named MONFLEX, focusing on novel techniques for structural monitoring of flexible risers. Years of field experience have demonstrated that one of the most frequent failure modes of flexible pipes is the sequential rupture of wires in their tensile armor layers [1]. The MONFLEX Program has explored a range of different technologies in order to timely detect and monitor the growth of this class of progressive structural damage. Some of the proposed approaches have relied on video cameras pointed towards fixedly mounted targets on the riser outer sheath, vibration and acoustic methods, these in a wide frequency range, and techniques based on fiber optic strain sensors. All three have been experimentally deployed in the field and are currently being evaluated. Among those, fiber optic monitoring is the one that has shown the better promise of becoming the chosen method for detecting wire ruptures in the riser’s armor layers. The fiber optic based monitoring system developed in the MONFLEX R&D Program has been named MODA, which, in Portuguese, stands for Direct Wire Optical Monitoring. The MODA system consists in instrumenting all the wires of the riser’s external tensile armor layer with fiber Bragg grating strain sensors. In flexible risers already in operation, a window in the polymeric outer sheath of the pipe is temporarily opened in order to allow the sensors installation, and then repaired with a protective, anticorrosive layer. Even though in MODA the strain sensors are installed in the external armor layer, full scale laboratory tests have demonstrated that the algorithm employed to treat and analyze the real time data provided by the system is capable of instantaneously detecting ruptures of wires either in the external or internal layers of the tensile armor. The proposed contribution will report the later results of extensive laboratory tests and field trials performed with the MODA system.

Abstract:
The theory behind a computer programme for prediction of Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) of risers is summarised, and some experiences with its use are given. The programme in question is named VICoMo (VIV by Complex Modes) and is based on modal analysis by means of complex modes. The approach is iterative in nature because the added mass and damping forces depend nonlinearly on motion amplitude and frequency. Experiences with some runs to model a prototype Steel Caternary Riser (SCR) are summarised. A key element herein is the strategy for the choice of the parameters governing the iterations.

Abstract:
From Archive Documents the Virtual Reconstruction of the Fortress of PescaraWhen the Unity of Italy occurred, the ancient fortress of Pescara, marked by the river with the same name, was demolished to allow the expansion of the Adriatic city. On the mighty sixteenth century building, eastern defense of the Kingdom of Naples, remain only the eighteenth and nineteenth century maps made by the military. A rigorous study conducted by us on the historic center of Pescara has allowed us to carry out extensive archival surveys and punctual inspections. Then different documents emerged and testimonies that encouraged a virtual reconstruction of the disappeared artefact in which the military garrison and the inhabited nucleus were enclosed. The virtual reconstruction of the fortress that is presented here has been elaborated by resorting the nineteenth century maps, carefully analyzed and compared to perform, critically, a translation of the two-dimensional technical figuration in three-dimensional processing. A sort of regeneration of the historical image was thus conducted with the intent of recovering a fundamental element of the city, almost completely forgotten.
