Next day they fell in with more sails, all circling slowly from the east northerly towards the west. But just when they expected to make the shoals by The Virgin the fog shut down, and they anchored, surrounded by the tinklings of invisible bells....

The study of craft production in the context of Native American–European interactions during the eighteenth century in the western Great Lakes region has emerged as a topic of scholarly interest. An analysis of tinkling cone production both demonstrates how European raw materials were being transformed into new forms and reveals how labor was organized. By examining the technological histories of tinkling cones, this chapter illustrates that their production was conducted in independent workshops as an opportunistic activity that fit the demands of life on the colonial frontier at Fort St. Joseph.

Before Nekhlyudov got out he had noticed several elegant equipages in the station yard, some with three, some with four well-fed horses with tinkling bells on their harness. When he stepped out on the dark, wet boards of the platform, he saw a group...

Birds are part of the special magic of grasslands. Birds such as McCown’s Longspurs (scientific names are given in the Appendix) or Horned Larks, which seem to disappear against the background of grass, soil, and stones when they are on the ground, launch breathtaking courtship flights punctuated by tinkling songs and mothlike flutterings. Male Lark Buntings, incongruously black and white (Fig. 9.1A) against the subdued tones of the grassland, may break into their morning territorial displays or gather together spontaneously in melodious group choruses. Mountain Plovers may burst from underfoot into utterly convincing broken-wing distraction displays. Ferruginous and other hawks (Fig. 9.1B) may suddenly plummet from the blue skies above. Sightings of relatively rare species such as Chestnut-collared Longspurs (Fig. 9.1C) may bring joy to dedicated bird-watchers. Birds give the shortgrass steppe an aura that Bouteloua alone cannot. Yet birds have not figured importantly in most discussions of grassland ecology. They are generally drab and brownish, so they have not attracted much attention from the general public, and their contributions to ecosystem production and energy flow are small, so they have not been of much interest to ecologists studying ecosystem processes. However, grassland birds are showing the most widespread and consistent population declines of any group of North American birds (Herkert, 1995; Knopf, 1994; Peterjohn and Sauer, 1999). As a consequence, they have become a focus of conservation concern (Brennen and Kulvesky, 2005; Vickery and Herkert, 2001). The history of ornithological research in the shortgrass steppe is closely intertwined with the broadly interdisciplinary work conducted during the IBP in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and more recently (since 1982) as part of the NSF LTER program. In this chapter we describe the birds of the shortgrass steppe and summarize pertinent research that has been conducted on them during the past 40+ years. Our aim is to synthesize this information to provide a perspective on how environmental factors may relate to population fluctuations, on spatiotemporal shifts in community composition, and on patterns of habitat occupancy among the birds of the shortgrass steppe. We conclude by noting some continuing research priorities that have become more critical as conservation concerns about these birds have heightened.

Globalizacijos procesai, informacinių technologijų pažanga sudaro sąlygas formuotis žinių ekonomikai, augimo galimybėms ir nulemia visuomenės gebėjimą kurti, naudoti ir nuolatos atnaujinti žinias. Organizacijos, siekiančios sujungti individų žinias ir panaudoti jas verslo procesams valdyti, vertei kurti, tikslinga naudoti tinklus. Tinkluose tiek organizacijas, tiek asmenis vienija bendras tikslas, skirtingų sričių greita žinių sklaida, lygiateisiškas bendravimas ir bendradarbiavimas.

When vapor bubbles are subjected to suddenly reduced pressure or immediate subcooling, it may rapidly condense, rupture, and generate cavitation corrosions. This phenomenon often occurs behind the blade of a rapidly rotating propeller or on any surface vibrating in liquid with sufficient amplitude and acceleration. In this article, we reported cavitation and its corrosive collapse occurring in capillary tubes, called pulsating heat pipes. Visualization images of cut and opened tubes show that internal copper surface was seriously etched after a certain period of operation. Sub-millimeter etchi
