Abstract:
Abstract This article is a quantitative analysis of data sets from 1810–20 related to Maroon “slaveholding” in the Proceedings of the Honourable House of Assembly Relative to the Maroons, which have been published in the Journals of the House of Assembly of Jamaica. Colonial officials in Jamaica identified some Maroons in the Charles Town and Moore Town census records as slaves or slaveholders. The data provide important insights into how bondage may have functioned in Maroon settlements. The data, in combination with an analysis of nontraditional slavery, suggest that slaveholding practices among the Maroons may have been influenced by West African cultural norms and opportunities that emerged on the Caribbean island of Jamaica. This scholarship contributes to studies of both the Maroons in the Americas and nontraditional slaveholding.

Abstract:
ABSTRAK Terumbu karang tepi di Pulau Mandangin tersusun substrat biotik dan abiotik dengan kedalaman tidak lebih dari 40 m. Pulau Mandangin adalah pulau kecil yang memiliki komposisi substrat dasar seperti terumbu karang dan perairannya yaitu zona leeward dan zona windward. Zona leeward adalah sisi yang membelakangi arah datangnya angin, sedangkan zona windward adalah sisi yang menghadap arah datangnya angin. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui komposisi penyusun terumbu karang tepi (fringing reef) dan mengetahui perbedaan komposisi penyusun terumbu karang tepi (fringing reef) antara zona leeward dan zona windward di Pulau Mandangin. Metode yang digunakan adalah Line Intercept Transect (LIT) secara vertikal, LIT dimulai dari surut terendah sampai daerah reef slope dan dilakukan pencatatan semua jenis substrat yang dibawah garis transek. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan zona fringing reef yang mengelilingi Pulau Mandangin tersusun atas substrat rubble, sand, alga, rock, dead coral, dead coral with algae, sponge, coral massive dan coral submassive. Zona leeward lebih bervariasi dari zona windward dalam susunan fringing reef. Hal ini karena angin yang terjadi di zona windward lebih besar dari zona leeward, sehingga substrat di zona windward hanya rubble dan sand. Kata kunci: Fringing reef, zona windward, zona leeward, substrat, Pulau Mandangin ABSTRACT Fringing reef in Mandangin Island comprises of biotic and abiotic substrates in depth not more than 40 m. Mandangin Island is a small island with base substrate composition mostly involving coral reef. The waters include leeward and windward zones. Leeward zone is paralleling with wind incoming direction, whereas windward zone is facing on wind incoming direction. The objective of research is to understand the composition that constitutes fringing reef and to recognize different constitutive composition of fringing reef at leeward zone and windward zone in Mandangin Island. Method of research is Line Intercept Transect (LIT) that is applied vertically. LIT starts from the lowest ebb toward the reef slope zone, and it involves registering all substrate types below transect line. Result of research indicates that fringing zone surrounding Mandangin Island consists of various substrates such as rubble, sand, alga, rock, dead coral, dead coral with algae, sponge, coral massive and coral sub-massive. Leeward zone is more diversified in fringing reef composition than windward zone. It is evident because wind occurrence at windward zone is higher than at leeward zone, and thus, substrates at windward zone include only rubble and sand. Keywords: Fringing reef, windward zone, leeward zone, substrates, Mandangin Island

Abstract:
Focus on the prediction of flow rates in buildings under natural ventilation, the investigation conducted a series of model rooms with cross ventilation. The impact of window-wall ratios, windows configurations as well as corresponding flow rates was investigated. The object of this investigation is to analyze characteristics of windward window opening discharge coefficient by measuring static pressure difference and the flow rate through windows. The conclusion are as follows: For large openings, the discharge coefficient of windward window opening increases as the window-wall ratio grows up; With windward window-wall ratio of 44.4% and 11.1%, the discharge coefficient of windward openings is almost irrelevant to flow rate and less affected by leeward window area; However, with windward window-wall ratio of 2.78%, the discharge coefficient increases slightly as flow rate rises, and the larger the area of leeward opening is, the smaller the discharge coefficient of windward opening becomes.

Abstract:
Windward Passage, which separates the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola, has been recognized as an important inflow channel to the Caribbean Sea for nearly a century. Despite this fact, few direct measurements of the volume transport through the passage exist. In an effort to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the variability, structure, and mean transport associated with flow through Windward Passage, the University of Miami?s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)?s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) conducted a targeted research study of the passage and surrounding region from October 2003 through February 2005. The project deployed a moored current meter array across the passage and conducted four regional hydrographic surveys. Velocity sections collected across Windward Passage during the four cruises from lowered and hull-mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers show a highly variable field dominated by small-scale eddy features and other areas of locally-intensified flow. However, when integrated horizontally across the passage, the resulting transport-per-unit-depth profiles reveal a remarkably robust vertical shear structure. A net inflow of surface and thermocline waters was observed over the four cruises. Beneath these layers, a persistent outflow of intermediate water was found, intensified along the east side of the passage. Deep inflow, just above the sill depth maximum (1680 m), was observed on cruise #1 and, based on data from the moored current meter record, was determined to be a regular flow feature. Together, project velocity sections and water mass analyses of Windward and surrounding passages suggest that Surface Water (SFC), Subtropical Underwater (SUW), and Central Water (CW) primarily arrive at Windward Passage from the east via the Hispaniola Basin. A majority of SFC and SUW enters the Cayman Basin through Windward Passage, while the arriving CW bifurcates, with slightly more than half bypassing the passage and continuing westward north of Cuba. An intermediate water outflow pathway from the Cayman to the Hispaniola Basin via Windward Passage was also observed. Much of this outflow possessed a salinity signature characteristic of upstream inflow regions immediately to the east and south of the Lesser Antilles. Total Windward Passage transport, calculated from the four ship surveys, was found to be an inflow of 3.0 ±2.8 Sverdrups (1 Sv ≡ 10^6 m^3 s^-1). Data from the 16-month moored current meter array yielded a larger mean inflow of 5.0 ±1.6 Sv. These numbers are lower than previous estimates based on regional passage transport differences, and suggest that more transport may be entering the Florida Current system through passages in the Bahamas (the Northwest Providence and Old Bahama Channels) than previously thought, with proportionately less flow entering the system through the Caribbean Sea.

Abstract:
The Windward Islands are vulnerable to a number of natural hazards. This thesis examines the possibilities for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in the Windward Islands. The Windward Islands offer a special case of “Island Vulnerability”. Island vulnerability is essentially defined as an increased probability in disaster events against what would be expected if vulnerability were to be measured against international levels of poverty, defined as Gross National Product per capita. There are three reasons for this namely the topography of islands, the site characteristics and the socio-economic setting. The topography is one where islands, largely of volcanic or coral origins, face multi-hazard experience particularly from flooding and storm surge. The site issue is that islands usually have a high ratio of coastline to land mass implying a relatively higher exposure to extreme events. The socio-economic conditions are peculiar to island including isolation, mono-agriculture and mono-industry essentially laid down by colonial experience, an absence of formal employment opportunities and weak capacity in local governance including the absence of NGOs. Though DRR has evolved over the last 20 years, some islands and communities remain more vulnerable than others. This research investigates the mainstreaming of DRR in the Windward Islands of Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines. The key issue researched was whether DRR could be effectively implemented at the community level. To address this issue, the research investigates the vulnerability and capacity of communities to hazards in the Windward Islands and suggests ways to reduce risk and build community resilience. The factors affecting vulnerability and capacity to hazards in the Anglophone Windward Islands were identified as a means of determining how to reduce risks and build resilience to hazards in the Windward Islands. Efforts to enhance community development and build resilience are not effective as they fail to address fully community needs. This research concluded that some communities are more vulnerable than others and a major contributor to their vulnerability is poverty. None of the methods used in this research are unique to island vulnerability analysis as they have been applied elsewhere in DRR. What is unique is the scoping of the application of these methods to gain an overview of DRR possibilities. What emerges as a conclusion is the limited impact of top down interventions, especially those interventions that try to address poverty alleviation to lower risk. This is essentially because the poor themselves barricade their own coping mechanisms against external interventions, thus building a wall against external help. Building on local organisational capacity, including religious groups, can help address this problem. Research in this area is limited for the Anglophone Windward Islands and this thesis on vulnerability of household and communities will contribute to knowledge in this field.

Abstract:
This study examines the purpose of colonial and post education policies in the British West Indies and more specifically, the post-independent government of St.Vincent and the Grenadines. The study concurs that the purpose of education should be for one’s personal, community and country’s development. The educated is likely to become productive members of society by engaging in activities that will foster development, create opportunities and promote policies that will enhance democratization of their country. The researcher found that neither the colonial nor post colonial purposes of education policies were specifically designed to develop the country. While the colonial education policies were designed to fulfill the needs of the colonial system, the post-colonial policies are primarily based on academia which is designed for the export market due to the lack of available local vacancies for the acquired education and skills. The conclusions drawn from the fmdings suggests that a brain drain has emerged with the citizens of SVG being educated, either for education sake as a means of pride, mobility or to fill the market for qualified personnel overseas.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has developed standards for the design of snow loads that occur on buildings and structures. These standards are published in the Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, or ASCE 7, and are based on the findings of case studies and other scientific tests. However, design guidance on the possible reduction of leeward snow drifts at the junction of a roof parapet and a moderately sized roof step is limited and not specifically addressed in the ASCE 7. Therefore, a literature review and parametric study were performed to evaluate possible leeward snow drift reduction that could occur at the junction of parapets and roof steps. Leeward drift reduction was estimated using the Fetch Modification Method, the Direct Reduction Method, and the Simplistic Reduction Method for parapets with heights of 30 in. and 48 in. with upwind snow fetch distances from 100 to 300 ft and ground snow loads from 20 to 50 psf. More drift reduction was seen with the 48 in. parapets than with the 30 in. parapets. The Fetch Modification Method and the Direct Reduction Method gave relatively similar reductions across the range of upwind fetch distances, while the Simplistic Reduction Method gave larger reductions overall. Reductions in height for the Fetch Modification Method were between 0.25 ft and 0.42 ft, while the Direction Reduction Method returned 0.08 to 0.63 ft and the Simplistic Reduction Method returned 1.61 to 3.09 ft. Due to the large magnitude of reduction estimated by the Simplistic Reduction Method, the method was considered unconservative. From the results of the Fetch Modification Method and Direct Reduction Method, it could be suggested that parapets 30 in. or 48 in. tall could only provide a small amount of leeward drift reduction, roughly 7% to 8% of the original leeward drift height. Further research should be done to expand the heights of parapets examined and to incorporate testing and full scale observations to verify the reduction of the leeward drift.

Abstract:
Cette étude présente une reconstruction du fonctionnement sédimentaire au Quaternaire de deux pentes carbonatées des Bahamas (leeward et windward). Elle est basée sur les analyses stratigraphique et sédimentaire de 34 carottes principalement collectées lors de la mission CARAMBAR (2010). Une étude stratigraphique à haute résolution a été développée à partir de plusieurs outils stratigraphiques, dont l’écostratigraphie basée sur les assemblages de foraminifères planctoniques qui a permis de dater l’ensemble des séquences sédimentaires en s’affranchissant des problèmes liés à la diagenèse précoce. L’analyse sédimentaire des carottages a permis de proposer une nouvelle classification des sédiments carbonatés meubles qui caractérise les fractions dominantes du sédiment au moment du dépôt. Elle permet notamment de discriminer les dépôts fins et d’identifier les processus de transport off-bank, les dépôts contouritiques, gravitaires ou légèrement diagenétisés. Les processus de transport off-bank permettent l’accumulation de boue carbonatée de plate-forme (aiguilles d’aragonite et silts) au niveau des pentes des Bahamas lorsque la plate-forme est ennoyée. Les derniers 4ka cal BP, le MIS 5e et le début du MIS 11 sont les principales périodes d’accumulation sédimentaire au cours des derniers cycles climatiques. L’érosion intra-pente, l’action des courants de fond et les processus de diagenèse précoce ont également été mis en évidence. La pente leeward se caractérise par une sédimentation très importante (wackestone) alors que la pente windward a conservés a morphologie pliocène avec localement des accumulations sédimentaires quaternaires de faible épaisseur (wackestone à packstone)
This study proposes a reconstruction of the quaternary sedimentary history of two Bahamian slopes (leeward and windward). This work is based on the stratigraphicand sedimentary analysis of 34 marine cores recovered mainly from the CARAMBAR oceanographic cruse (2010). A high-resolution stratigraphic study was conducted by coupling several tools including ecostratigraphy based on planktonic foraminifera assemblages, which allowed dating all sedimentary sequences despite early diagenesis processes. The sedimentary analysis of the marine cores proposes a new classification for carbonate sediment. It characterizes the dominant particle distributions at the time of deposition and allows for discriminating the fine sediments and for determining the depositional processes such as off-bank transport, contouritic or gravity deposits, and slightly altered sediment. Off-bank transport is the mainprocess responsible for high-accumulation of platform carbonate ooze (aragonite needles and silt) on the Bahamian slopes. It predominates during major flooding of the platform, so during the last 4 ka cal BP, the MIS 5e and at the on set of the MIS11. Intra-slope erosion, bottom currents, and early marine diagenesis processes have also been highlighted. The leeward slope is characterized by a high accumulation of wackestone sediment where as the windward slope preserved its Pliocene morphology with local quaternary sediment accumulation (wackestone to packstone)

Abstract:
In the past the theories of the Cooley/Mead "looking-glass self" [1934, 1964] and the social negotiation of identity have been applied to the individual. This research aims at studying whether the theory can also be applied to specific groups strategies for the maintenance of their identity. The Windward Maroons and the Amish of Ohio were chosen for this research on the basis of factors of comparability. The origins and the social structure of each of the two subject groups is discussed in detail. Their communal development is discussed in detail in terms of the three central bases of group solidarity, ie. myth/ritual, language and land. The origin myths of both the Amish and the Maroons are discussed within the context of a general analysis of the topic of the interpretation of myths. The manner in which myth is utilised by the two cultures to maintain their identity is examined. The effects of tourism on the Maroons and the Amish is an integral piece of this research. The economic repercussions of tourism on identity are analysed. The appropriation and commodification of cultural symbols is discussed and linked with the theory of the "looking-glass self". Due to the greater concentration of the tourist sites and tourist centred advertising there is a greater focus on the Amish in this matter than on the Maroons. The relative ease of access to the Amish sites, in comparison to those of the Maroons, also contributes to this. My findings reveal that there is at the present time a possibility that both of the cultures studied will be subject to the increased erosion of their distinct cultural identity. As their defining symbols continue to be commodified their capability of negotiating their identity with the wider society will be impoverished.

Full text
Abstract:
In La Migration des coeurs, Maryse Condé rewrites Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights in a Caribbean context. Through its intertextual connection to Brontë's novel, Condé's text can be read in relation to Wuthering Heights according to the rhizomatic structure posited by Deleuze and Guattari, and further employed by Édouard Glissant in his Poétique de la Relation. The rhizome allows a comparison that resists a hierarchical comparison of the texts, and permits dialog and mutual influence between the two novels. Condé's critics, reinforcing this intertextual relation, have rarely considered La Migration des coeurs independently of Brontë's Wuthering Heights. However Windward Heights, Richard Philcox's English translation of Condé's novel, has not been previously considered worthy of a place in the rhizome. As a rewriting of Condé's own rewriting, Philcox's translation merits analysis in relation to the other two novels. This study will examine the nature of translation and rewriting in a postcolonial context. Primarily focusing on La Migration des coeurs, it will show how Condé uses the latent imperialist frame of Wuthering Heights to expose social inequalities in Guadeloupe, and how Philcox communicates this critique back to the English metropolis in Windward Heights.

Abstract:
Architecture in life is the light of the culture in any society and closely relates with historical, political, economic and social aspects of the society. Persian architecture and building construction should be properly examined from the depths of the history of this ancient land. Persian architecture goes back to six centuries before Christ and it has over 6000 years of continuous history. Since then ever, architecture has been related to various issues, especially religious, and has developed and evolved for centuries. Persian architecture has features that in comparison with other countries are of particular value. Properties such as good design, precise calculations, the correct form of coverage, compliance with technical and scientific issues in the building, high balconies, tall pillars and the various decorations that each of them represent the magnificent of Persian architecture. This study assumes that architecture and building construction are the full manifestation of human culture, and focus on some of the important elements in traditional Persian architecture: windwards, traditional refrigerators and foundations.

Abstract:
In this paper, the influence of various bench arrangements on the microclimate inside a two-span greenhouse is numerically investigated using three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. Longitudinal and peninsular arrangements are investigated for both leeward and windward opened roof ventilators. The velocity and temperature distributions at plant level (1m) were of particular interest. The research in this paper is an extension of two-dimensional work conducted previously [1]. Results indicate that bench layouts inside the greenhouse have a significant effect on the microclimate at plant level. It was found that vent opening direction (leeward or windward) influences the velocity and temperature distributions at plant level noticeably. Results also indicated that in general, the leeward facing greenhouses containing either type of bench arrangement exhibit a lower velocity distribution at plant level compared to windward facing greenhouses. The latter type of greenhouses has regions with relatively high velocities at plant level which could cause some concern. The scalar plots indicate that more stagnant areas of low velocity appear for the leeward facing greenhouses. The windward facing greenhouses also display more heterogeneity at plant level as far as temperature is concerned.

Abstract:
Abstract To understand film cooling flow fields and heat transfer characteristics of the longitudinal corrugated surface on afterburner heat liner, the numerical simulation was performed in approximate actual boundary conditions. The single hole and full film holes on the corrugated surface were investigated under different boundary conditions to study the heat transfer and discharge coefficient. The adverse pressure gradient on the leeward results in spanwise expansion of the airflow, while the favorable pressure gradient on the windward keeps the shape of the jet constant. The different hole spacing and hole row spacing in different positions of the corrugated surface should be considered due to the film covering characteristics. The film cooling holes at the same height on the leeward and windward share the similar laterally average effectiveness. The flow rate and discharge coefficient increase from crest to trough. Cross-flow has a negative influence on the discharge coefficient especially the inlet cross-flow. The cross-flow and discharge coefficient can be correlated with each other by a logarithmic function. The jet discharge coefficient on the windward surface is higher than that on the leeward surface, which is contrary to previous cognition. The reason is that the jet blocking causes the downstream pressure zone to advance, which counteracts and enhanced the siphon effect on the leeward and windward side respectively. As the inlet pressure of coolant increases, the film cooling effectiveness on the windward side is greatly improved in full film condition. However, it changes little on the leeward side.

Abstract:
Abstract This study investigated nearwake behaviors around flapping wings moving sideways. A dynamically scaled-up flapping manipulator was installed on a servo-driven towing carriage to give the sideways movement. In the single wing configuration, the wing in the windward side did not encounter any noticeable effects on the aerodynamic characteristics. The wing in the leeward side, on the other hand, experienced a substantial lift augmentation. We found a stretched leading-edge vortex (LEV) on the wing in the leeward side, implying the additional feeding flux into the LEV. In this case, the moving sideways gave a continuous lateral wind, which became the source to maintain the lift augmentation with the less downward component. We also found that the moving sideways rather intensified the interaction between the wake of the wing in the windward side and the contralateral wing, i.e., the wing-wake interaction. Accordingly, the lift augmentation on the wing in the leeward side practically disappeared by the wing-wake interaction. A digital particle image velocimetry for nearwake behaviors found the less developed trailing-edge shear layer and wingroot vortex traces. This implied that the massive downwash induced by the wing in the windward side was the main source to neutralize the lift augmentation on the contralateral wing.
