Texto completoResumen
A New World, At Last is set on a distant colony world, many thousands of years into the future.
The path there has not been direct or bloodless. The humans who colonized this New World are the descendants of an Earth that has suffered cataclysmic climate change, collapse, and a subsequent millennia-long reconstruction. They stand on the shoulders of giants, uncovering and exploiting the technology of the Old Earth in order to ensure that such a collapse, once discovered, can never happen again. These new people, Colonials, set about making the New World in the image of their own.
A scant hundred years after they settle the world, the Ecumene arrive.
The Ecumene are humans as well, our own descendants, refugees who packed onto massive, life-sustaining generation ships that left Old Earth, burning a slow and steady path towards distant, potentially habitable worlds. The journey for the Ecumene took nearly a thousand years; in this time, a cult of destiny and destination fomented aboard a ship they began to see as their ark. They follow The Path, the way to the promised land of the New World, known to their distant ancestors as their ultimate destination.
Due to the realities of space travel, time passed differently for the Ecumene than it did for the Colonials. What was a thousand year journey on the ship translates to a more than six thousand year period of time back on Earth. The massive gulf in time and experience makes for a difficult reunion between these two disparate relatives.
Tensions arise as the Colonial Administration attempts to process these sudden arrivals and to integrate them into their system to prevent a complete collapse of their nascent biome. They hold the revelatory memory of a world subjected to poor stewardship and shy away from continuing down that path again. They see themselves as outnumbered and unfairly burdened, the sudden caretakers of a vast population of the children of the humans who sent the Old Earth into a long, terrible dark age.
The bulk of A New World, At Last takes place thirty years after the arrival of the Ecumene ark, the Armstrong. A New World, At Last follows Edison Moss, the young son of a Colonial farmer ("agrineer"). Ed has recently discovered that he was adopted illegally; he is undocumented, from an unwanted class. In an act of rebellion, he leaves home on a quest of discovery, only to find that the answers he gets are not necessarily the answers to the questions he wanted to ask. His decade-long journey takes him from the heart of the colony to the frontier; along the way he befriends an agent of the Ecumene's more violent resistant group and becomes a participant in the movement.
A New World, At Last also follows the story of an artist contemporary with Ed's time. Victor James Custodio, famous sculptor and crafter of prosthetic bodies for the rulers of Earth, flees to the New World in a quest to outrun a fate that has been chasing him through all of his lives. Victor's story parallels Ed's in a sense as both are, ultimately, pilgrimages; attempts to ask and have answered that ultimate question: who am I, where do I belong, and what do I do about it?

Texto completoResumen
Leishmaniasis is a serious public health problem throughout the developing world; 350 million people are at risk of infection in 88 countries. It is caused by a protozoa parasite called leishmania. The current therapy for leishmaniasis is limited. Pentavalent antimonials (SbV) have been the recommended drugs for the treatment of leishmaniasis for over 50 years, but long courses, and toxicity limits their use. New approaches for new therapies, including combination therapies, are urgently needed. Imiquimod is a novel compound that activates macrophages to kill leishmania amastigotes in vitro and could reduce disease severity in a mouse model of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). It is an agonist for the Toll like receptor 7 (TLR7) on macrophages directing the development of Th1-type immune response required for resolution of leishmaniasis.A new combined model therapy for CL, was investigated in order to confirm that it was superior to SbV alone in the treatment of CL. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was carried out using Sb V in combination with topical imiquimod (5%) or a placebo cream for the treatment of CL in Peru. The study shows that, when used in combination with SbV, imiquimod significantly shortens the time required for complete cure of CL and may reduce the severity of scarring.
High costs and drug resistance to SbV are a big problem in endemic areas; therefore alternative drugs for SbV are necessary to possibly be used in combination with imiquimod. The findings of these studies represent a significant advance for leishmaniasis, demonstrating that it is possible to translate the rationale for combined therapy based in basic immunological concepts into action in the developing world.

Title: Launching a new-to-the-world product Background: Innovation is something that continuously leads to new knowledge and technologies. A vital step for an innovation is to actually launch it as a product. If the launch would be improved, the rate of success would increase. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study how new-to-the-world products could be launched. Delimitations: The delimitations in this paper are that issues concerning the brand, promotion, logistics and additionally the process before the launch will not be considered. Methodology: The research is characterized by an inductive approach. The information in this paper was gathered by a case study, semi-structured interviews and a survey. Due to both quantitative and qualitative research, triangulation was used. Conclusion: There are many elements to take into account when launching a new-to-the-world product. These elements are adoption and diffusion process, segmentation, price, timing, power of buyers, relative advantage and compatibility. Also if first-mover-advantage could be realized should be taken into consideration. Suggestion for further research: Further research could involve going deeper into different companies and finding patterns between different industries. By more people shining light upon this subject, more views and aspects can arise, which could contribute to a broader understanding of the concept launch.

Texto completoResumen
The advent of the New World Order has challenged Syria's role in the Middle East. Traditionally viewed as a pariah state, and a Soviet satellite, Syria's future looked uncertain. Syria, however, has been able to accommodate the transformation in the world order. The New World Order amounted to a redistribution of global power. The transmutation of Soviet power towards the US culminated in a unipolar world order. The withdrawal of Soviet support through the advent of the New World Order threatened Syria's quest for regional hegemony. Existing in a state of anarchy, the co-ordinates of Syria's foreign policy have been founded upon the principles of self-help, national security, and national interest. These principles have found their expression through Syria's intractable struggle with Israel. Syrian foreign policy has been determined by two factors: primarily, by the international political system, and secondarily, by the influence of domestic politics. Omni balancing provides an explanatory model for foreign policy behaviour that bridges the divide between the determinants of the international political system and the influences of the domestic arena. Following a rational policy, the Syrian state was compelled to realign with the US- led world order, in order to pursue regional hegemony. It was able to display its accommodation of the New World Order by joining the US-led coalition forces in the liberation of Kuwait in 1990/1991. Syria's adjustment to the New World Order was rewarded with a place in the post-war regional order, and a central role in the Madrid Peace Conference.

O gênero Begomovirus (família Geminiviridae) é constituído por vírus que apresentam um ou dois componentes genômicos de DNA circular de fita simples (ssDNA), infectam plantas dicotiledôneas e são transmitidos naturalmente pela mosca-branca Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). Os begomovírus constituem um importante grupo de patógenos de plantas responsáveis por perdas severas em diversas culturas de importância econômica, principalmente em regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Com base em relacionamento filogenético e organização do genoma, os begomovírus podem ser divididos em dois grupos: Velho Mundo (VM) e Novo Mundo (NM). Os begomovírus do NM possuem em sua maioria dois componentes genômicos, denominados DNA-A e DNA-B. Recentemente, a associação de alguns begomovírus do NM com DNAs satélites foi demonstrada. Begomovírus evoluem a taxas comparáveis às de vírus que possuem genoma de RNA. Embora se saiba que a mutação e a recombinação são os principais mecanismos geradores de variabilidade para esses vírus, ainda falta uma maior compreensão das forças evolucionárias que atuam sob as populações virais. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: (i) obter mais informações sobre os mecanismos evolucionários que influenciam a variabilidade genética dos begomovírus no NM; (ii) avaliar, por meio de filogenia, o efeito de recombinação na evolução dos begomovírus do NM; (iii) mensurar, por meio de análise filogeográfica, o efeito da migração na evolução dos begomovírus do NM. Sequências-referência de todos os DNA-A e DNA-B de begomovírus do NM foram obtidas do GenBank para montagem dos conjuntos de dados. Análises de recombinação evidenciaram um relacionamento entre begomovírus e alfassatélites do NM, sugerindo que a recombinação é um importante mecanismo evolucionário afetando a evolução do DNA-A, e em particular do gene Rep (presente em ambos os agentes). A retirada de blocos recombinantes mostrou-se desnecessária para a construção de filogenias, uma vez que não alterou o sinal filogenético. Foi encontrado um forte agrupamento entre as espécies baseado nos seus locais de origem, sugerindo que a introdução/migração de genomas oriundos de diferentes áreas contribui grandemente para o aumento dos eventos de recombinação e pseudo-recombinação, o que aumentaria a probabilidade do viisurgimento de novas variantes virais mais bem adaptadas que seus parentais. Resultados da filogeografia também indicam que DNA-A e DNA-B possuem histórias evolutivas distintas, já que as análises sugerem ancestrais diferentes. Em conjunto, os resultados indicam um importante papel da recombinação na diversificação dos begomovírus do NM.
The genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) includes viruses with mono- and bipartite genomes of circular, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), which infect dicot plants and are transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Begomoviruses constitute an important group of plant pathogens responsible for severe losses in several crops of economic importance, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on phylogenetic relationships and genomic organization, begomoviruses can be divided into New World (NW) and Old World (OW) groups. NW begomoviruses have mostly bipartite genomes, with the two components named DNA-A and DNA-B. Recently, the association of a small number of NW begomoviruses with alphasatellites was demonstrated. Begomoviruses evolve at high rates, compared to viruses with RNA genomes. Although it is well established that mutation and recombination are the main sources of genetic variability for these viruses, a better understanding of the evolutionary forces that act upon begomovirus populations is still lacking. The objectives of this study were: (i) to obtain more detailed information on the evolutionary mechanisms that influence the genetic variability of NW begomoviruses; (ii) to assess, phylogenetically, the effect of recombination on the evolution of NW begomoviruses; (iii) to measure, by phylogeographic analysis, the effect of migration on the diversification of NW begomoviruses. Datasets including all DNA-A and DNA-B reference sequences of NW begomoviruses were obtained from GenBank. Recombination analysis revealed a relationship between NW begomoviruses and alphasatellites, suggesting that recombination is an important evolutionary mechanism affecting DNA-A evolution, particularly of the Rep gene ( present in both agents). Removal of recombinant blocks from the datasets was shown to be unnecessary, as it did not affect the phylogenetic signal when reconstructing phylogenies. Clusters among species were observed based on their locals of origin, suggesting that the introduction/migration of genomes from different areas greatly contributes to recombination and reassortment, which would increase the probability of the emergence of new variants better adapted than their parental viruses. Phylogeography results suggest that the DNA-A and DNA-B have distinct evolutionary histories, since they have ixdifferent common ancestors. Together, the results indicate an important role of recombination in the diversification of NW begomoviruses.

Texto completoResumen
Many breakthroughs in scientific and industrial research are supported by simulations and calculations performed on high performance computing (HPC) systems. These systems typically consist of uniform, largely parallel compute resources and high bandwidth concurrent file systems interconnected by low latency synchronous networks. HPC systems are managed by batch schedulers that order the execution of application jobs to maximize utilization while steering turnaround time. In the past, demands for greater capacity were met by building more powerful systems with more compute nodes, greater transistor densities, and higher processor operating frequencies. Unfortunately, the scope for further increases in processor frequency is restricted by the limitations of semiconductor technology. Instead, parallelism within processors and in numbers of compute nodes is increasing, while the capacity of single processing units remains unchanged. In addition, HPC systems’ memory and I/O hierarchies are becoming deeper and more complex to keep up with the systems’ processing power. HPC applications are also changing: the need to analyze large data sets and simulation results is increasing the importance of data processing and data-intensive applications. Moreover, composition of applications through workflows within HPC centers is becoming increasingly important. This thesis addresses the HPC scheduling challenges created by such new systems and applications. It begins with a detailed analysis of the evolution of the workloads of three reference HPC systems at the National Energy Research Supercomputing Center (NERSC), with a focus on job heterogeneity and scheduler performance. This is followed by an analysis and improvement of a fairshare prioritization mechanism for HPC schedulers. The thesis then surveys the current state of the art and expected near-future developments in HPC hardware and applications, and identifies unaddressed scheduling challenges that they will introduce. These challenges include application diversity and issues with workflow scheduling or the scheduling of I/O resources to support applications. Next, a cloud-inspired HPC scheduling model is presented that can accommodate application diversity, takes advantage of malleable applications, and enables short wait times for applications. Finally, to support ongoing scheduling research, an open source scheduling simulation framework is proposed that allows new scheduling algorithms to be implemented and evaluated in a production scheduler using workloads modeled on those of a real system. The thesis concludes with the presentation of a workflow scheduling algorithm to minimize workflows’ turnaround time without over-allocating resources.Work also supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) and we used resources at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, a DOE Office of Science User Facility, supported by the Officece of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy, both under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis presents practice-based research to establish new forms of social and artistic production through examinations of the materiality of the technical media, namely the computer, that underpins new media art. Contemporary new media art practice has tended to focus attention on software or hardware interfaces, interactivity and network communications. Whilst explorations of these specific affordances of computational media have been important they have generally avoided a more informed engagement with the material structures that frame, underpin, and ultimately shape the works produced with these media. The hypothesis of the research is that a richer understanding of the creative potentials of computational media as a form of practice can accrue from an active engagement with these material foundations in which any computational device employed in a media art practice is embedded. Thus the research presents a novel methodology for approaching new media art, driven by an imperative to engage with the computational, not from some abstract and universalised point-of-view, but up close with a focus on the materiality of its media and thus on matter itself. Hence a second assumption in the research is that this lacunae has impacted on the geology of ideas around new media theory and practice, and includes a failure to account for the intractable difficulties around the material production of the technical media that underpins new media art. Following Karen Barad, the research employs, a diffractive methodology - a practice of presenting computational materiality through insights and traditions while paying attention to their differences, including the material effects of their constitutive exclusions . Using this methodology, new forms of production have been achieved with the participation of diverse groups of people in workshops, “open laboratories”, and two exhibitions. It is intended that the methodology can be adapted, used and developed by practitioners in new media art, philosophy, media archaeology, museology, ethnography and anthropology.

Texto completoResumen
This paper compares the Bohlen-Pierce scale to other octave and nonoctave-based tuning systems, drawing parallels between it and the widely used 12-equal temperament. These parallels lead to the hypothesis that there can be a set ofharmonic mIes applicable to the Bohlen-Pierce scale that are analogous to the CUITent musical practice. Those theorized mIes are then applied to some examples of the growing body of musical compositions wrtten in the BohlenPierce scale. Aiso included are supportive arguments for a preference of the use of odd-partial timbres in performance of this scale, which make the invention of the Bohlen-Pierce clarinet a major tuming point in the scale's development. Sorne of the musical works studied were written specifically for this author's performance on the Bohlen-Pierce clarinet.Ce document compare la gamme Bohlen-Pierce d'autres systmes d'accord octave et non-octave-bass, tablissant des parallles entre soi et le systme la plus utilis, temprament de I2-gal.

Mok, Lucille Yehan. "Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, and New World Virtuosities". Thesis, Harvard University, 2014. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:13064972.
Texto completoResumen
This dissertation centers on virtuosity as a source of creative genesis, boundary-pushing, and musical debate. Focusing on the careers and works of pianists Oscar Peterson (1925-2007) and Glenn Gould (1932-1982), I examine the role of the virtuoso in twentieth-century music-making, and his encounter with Canadian national identity. Gould and Peterson were contemporaries, and despite their differences - Gould was a white classical musician from Toronto, and Peterson, an African Canadian jazz artist from Montréal - their career paths share points of connection. Using archival material from the Glenn Gould fonds and the Oscar Peterson fonds at Library and Archives Canada, I analyze the work of both figures as sources of musical creativity through musical performance and composition.
The first part of this dissertation demonstrates how Gould's and Peterson's respective performances sparked furor through their contestation of musical boundaries. In the first chapter, my analysis of outtakes from Gould's 1955 recording session of the Goldberg Variations illuminates how his radical musical philosophies emerged from his early recording practices. In chapter two, I examine critiques of Peterson's performance aesthetic from an extensive collection of reviews, and argue that his style of virtuosic jazz allowed him to push back against musical expectations. In the third chapter, I examine the work of Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren whose experimental animation provided opportunities for partnerships with both musicians; with Peterson in 1949 and with Gould in 1969.
The second part of my dissertation takes the reader outside the realm of performance and demonstrates how Gould and Peterson engaged with landscape through sound composition. The fourth chapter investigates the spatial and sonic interpretation of Canadian locales in Gould's Solitude Trilogy, a series of three experimental radio documentaries. In the final chapter, I unravel the biographical and musical influences in Peterson's multi-movement suite for jazz trio, Canadiana Suite. By studying these iconic virtuosos side-by-side, my dissertation illuminates the significance of the performer in Canada's cultural life in the second half of the twentieth-century and yields a new understanding of how Gould and Peterson exploded expectations in their respective musical communities.Music

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.An interdisciplinary analysis of the post-Cold War world to determine the optimal strategy to attain the national interests of the United States, and the requisite logistic structure to support that strategy. The optimal solution is found to be a strategy based on multinational defense centered on a permanent force of United Nations garrison port complexes. This multilateral force would be augmented by as small a national defense force as necessary to ensure national security. The thesis endeavors to reconnect the cultural and philosophical past of the United States with its immediate future. National interests are identified through examination of American Pragmatism and the philosophies of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. To determine the current status of common defense, based upon the Foreign Military Sales system, and analysis of current data is accomplished. Future threats to the United States are examined with special emphasis on nuclear terrorism. The ability of Islamic nations in North Africa and the Middle East to produce significant quantities of uranium is demonstrated. The grave political as well as ongoing environmental consequences of this recent capability are discussed in detail.

Texto completoResumen
In the present study, sandfly salivary proteins of Lutzomyia longipalpis were characterised by SDS-PAGE, immunoblotling and MS-based proteomics. Salivary gland extracts (SGE) protein content females was determined, analysed by SDS-PAGE which revealed ~27 peptide bands (range: 5 kDa to 110 kDa), ~33% more than previously reported. Also for the first time, male SGE proteins were characterized by SDS-PAGE which separated ̴14 peptide bands (from ̴12 kDa to ̴105 kDa) constitnting a complex but distinct profile to that obtained for females. Only ̴6 peptide bands were shared between males and females. Sugar feeding did change SDS-PAGE profiles of SGEs from males and females. Total amount of salivary proteins increased with female Sandflyage although salivary proteins were not investigated upon blood-feeding. Comparative SDS-PAGE salivary protein profiles from females of three different siblings of Lutzomyia longipalpis showed reproducible differences. Immunoblotting of Lutzomyia longipalpis siblings’ SGE proteins against sera from hamsters that have been repeatedly challenged with only one of the siblings revealed a number of sibling-specific of salivary antigens.

Texto completoResumen
The aim of this work is to present new contributions to the theory of peaked solitons. The thesis consists of two papers,which are named “Newsolutionswith peakon creation in the Camassa–HolmandNovikov equations” and “Peakon-antipeakon solutions of the Novikov equation” respectively. In Paper I, a new kind of peakon-like solution to the Novikov equation is discovered, by transforming the one-peakon solution via a Lie symmetry transformation. This new kind of solution is unbounded as x → +∞ and/or x → –∞, and has a peak, though only for some interval of time. Thus, the solutions exhibit creation and/or destruction of peaks. We make sure that the peakon-like function is still a solution in the weak sense for those times where the function is non-differentiable. We find that similar solutions, with peaks living only for some interval in time, are validweak solutions to the Camassa–Holm equation, though it appears that these can not be obtained via a symmetry transformation. In Paper II we investigate multipeakon solutions of the Novikov equation, in particular interactions between peakons with positive amplitude and antipeakons with negative amplitude. The solutions are given by explicit formulas, which makes it possible to analyze them in great detail. As in the Camassa–Holm case, the slope of the wave develops a singularity when a peakon collides with an antipeakon, while the wave itself remains continuous and can be continued past the collision to provide a global weak solution. However, the Novikov equation differs in several interesting ways from other peakon equations, especially regarding asymptotics for large times. For example, peakons and antipeakons both travel to the right, making it possible for several peakons and antipeakons to travel together with the same speed and collide infinitely many times. Such clusters may exhibit very intricate periodic or quasi-periodic interactions. It is also possible for peakons to have the same asymptotic velocity but separate at a logarithmic rate; this phenomenon is associated with coinciding eigenvalues in the spectral problem coming from the Lax pair, and requires nontrivial modifications to the previously known solution formulas which assume that all eigenvalues are simple.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze New World Baroque art as a medium of syncretism allowing the reconciliation and fusion of discrepant cultures. This study will explore the region of New Spain as defined by the Baroque period by analyzing Mexico as a place whose identity was defined by the transcultural and hybrid components of the Baroque and as a place where a New World Baroque aesthetic first started to appear. Transculturation and hybridization will be analyzed historically and aesthetically as factors for the creation of a New World Identity. The term New World Baroque will be used to define art in the Spanish colonies during the Baroque period, the term New Spain will be used to refer to colonial Mexico, transculturation will refer to the exchange of ideas and intermingling of cultures and hybridization will refer to the outcomes of such. This analysis will begin by providing a definition of Baroque with the purpose of establishing an understanding of the main characteristics of the movement aesthetically and chronologically. Spain will be analyzed to provide evidence of the effects of coming into contact with a multicultural society on the Baroque aesthetic; followed by a historical analysis of the events that would result in the creation of the new world. Then transculturation will be analyzed as an answer to the conquest and as guided by the Catholic Church. Then a timeline will list important events leading up to the Baroque period, and finally an exploration of hybrid art will serve to exemplify a well-established hybrid identity culminating with a brief analysis of some of Frida Kahlo’s work as an embodiment of the New World Baroque aesthetic.

Texto completoResumen
Parasitoid wasps are an important group of organisms in need of systematic revision. This dissertation examines the cosmopolitan parasitoid wasp genus Cremnops. It is a compilation of three projects and significantly advances the taxonomic foundation of the genus.
The New World species of the genus Cremnops are revised. Thirty-three species of Cremnops are treated; five are described as new, i.e., C. bertae sp. nov., C. cluttsis sp. nov., C. nymphius sp. nov., C. wileycoyotius sp. nov. and C. witkopegasus sp. nov. Six species are synonymized, i.e., Cremnops caribensis Berta 1998, is synonymized under C. guanicanus Wolcott 1924; C. nigrosternum (Morrison 1917) is synonymized under C. haematodes (Brullé 1846); C. punctatus Berta 1998, is synonymized under C. marshi Berta 1998; C. sharkei Berta 1998, is synonymized under C. montrealensis (Morrison 1917); C. turrialbae Berta de Fernandez 1998, is synonymized under C. ferrugineus (Cameron 1887); and C. misionensis Berta 1987, is synonymized under C. slossonae (Morrison 1917). Cremnops florissanticola is transferred to its original combination Bracon florissanticola Cockerell 1919, st. rev.
The species concept Cremnops desertor and its complicated taxonomic history are discussed. A phylogenetic distance tree, based on COI data, is used to help delimit species. The recognition of C. alterans Enderlein and C. malayensis Bhat is proposed.
I propose new combinations for five African species that are currently placed in Cremnops, i.e., C. atripennis Szépligeti 1914 and C. elegantissima Szépligeti 1908 are moved to Disophrys; C. borealis (Szépligeti 1914) and C. rubrigaster Masi 1944 are moved to Biroia; and C. pulchripennis Szépligeti 1905 is moved to and renamed Biroia neopulchipennis. These changes result in Disophrys atripennis (Szépligeti 1915) becoming a junior homonym, which is changed to Disophrys szatripennis. Additionally, two species are proposed as nomen dubia: C. rufitarsis Szépligeti 1913 and C. schubotzi Szépligeti 1915.
Included are a molecular phylogeny, a dichotomous key, links to distribution maps, an electronic interactive key, images of holotypes, and suggestions for further research.

Texto completoResumen
After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream. Contemporary horror production has been driven by numerous forces, including a strong worldwide market demand for horror films and the increasing international integration of the Australian film industry; the lowering of production barriers with the rise of digital video; the growth of niche markets and online distribution models; an inflow of international finance; and the rise of international partnerships. In light of this study, a ‘national cinema’ as an approach to cinema studies needs reconsideration – real growth is occurring across national boundaries due to globalisation and at the level of genre production rather than within national boundaries through pure cultural production. Australian cinema studies – tending to marginalise genre films – needs to be more aware of genre production. Global forces and emerging distribution models, among others, are challenging the ‘narrowness’ of cultural policy in Australia – mandating a particular film culture, circumscribing certain notions of value and limiting the variety of films produced domestically.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation investigates Woolf’s engagement with the professions and their values, tracing their influence on both the form and content of her work. It explores Woolf’s relationship with what she called, in the typescript of Between the Acts (1941), “[t]he rise of the professional class” in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Britain. I argue that a concern with the professions underlay three of her works, The Years (1937), Three Guineas (1938), and Between the Acts (1941). I also investigate the importance to Woolf of two specific professions the medical profession, and what she called “the profession of literature.” Chapter one focuses on The Years and Three Guineas, and makes use of manuscript versions of The Years to show that Woolf’s ambivalent feelings towards women’s entry into the professions not only informed her political views in Three Guineas, but also shaped her aesthetic decisions throughout the extensive rewriting process of The Years. The chapter argues that the vision which underlies The Years is possibly even more sweeping and radical than the solutions proposed in Three Guineas, and shows how Woolf’s views of the professional system became the basis for her vision of freedom in a new type of society. Chapter two investigates the representation of doctors’ power in Mrs Dalloway (1925), asking how and why Woolf questioned the validity and source of such power, and why this was so important to Woolf. Chapter three considers Woolf’s concept of “the profession of literature.” Woolf often praised the unprofessional qualities of the writing profession, such as its lack of objective professional qualifications and entrance requirements. These made it one of the most accessible professions for women, but also made financial success ambiguous. Chapter four analyzes the forces which shaped Between the Acts (1941) by exploring the historical background of the 1930s. It shows how the novel engages with the themes of specialization, money and war.

Goulart, V. D. L. R. "Investigations of polymorphic colour vision in new world primates". Thesis, University of Salford, 2017. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/43613/.
Texto completoResumen
Primate colour vision in New World primates is intriguingly complex; show a polymorphism where males are obligatory dichromats (i.e. perception similar to colour-blind humans that cannot differentiate red from green) Females can be either dichromats or trichromats (vision similar to normal humans). The role of such polymorphism remains unclear; however, two often tested hypotheses are related to predator detection and the locating of specific food resources. Here we investigated behavioural changes in male and female primates relating to the colour vision phenotypes and niche divergence as an adaptive feature responsible for maintaining colour vision polymorphism. For polymorphic colour vision to be complementary advantageous, primates should be able to perceive the behavioural changes resulting from sensory abilities of conspecifics. Cooperation tests were used with captive primates to investigate the possibility of primates recognising the visual ability of other individuals in the group. A molecular study of medium-long wavelength sensitive opsin alleles in Pitheciidae indicated a greater variation than reported in the literature and such complexity might increase the number of females with trichromatic colour vision. From a geographical analysis of South American primates, we found that primates avoided areas with high predator richness; however, species that possessed more complex colour vision systems were unaffected by predator richness. Thus, colour vision might be related to complementary advantages in having different colour vision systems in the same group (again increasing the probability of trichromats). Alternative methodologies (i.e. Machine Learning and Computer Vision) were employed to investigate the fitness of different phenotypes in detecting camouflaged targets showing that, contrary to from traditional hypothesis of advantages of dichromatic colour vision, trichromatic colour vision models are best suited for breaking through camouflage. A proof of concept to improve the collection of behavioural data and to investigate the role of cooperation for the maintenance of polymorphic colour vision is also presented. In conclusion, colour vision polymorphism in New World primates enhances the visual abilities of primate groups and is maintained by niche sexual diversification.

Gentry, Terry A. "Sustainable Development in the Third World: A New Paradigm?" PDXScholar, 1995. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4905.
Texto completoResumen
Over the past decade '"Sustainable Development" (SD) has emerged as the latest development catchphrase. A wide range of nongovernmental as well as governmental organizations have embraced it as the new paradigm of development. A review of the literature that has sprung up around the concept of SD indicates, however, a lack of consistency in its interpretation. More important, while the all-encompassing nature of the concept gives it political strength, its current formulation by the mainstream of SD thinking contains significant weaknesses. These include an incomplete perception of the problems of poverty and environmental degradation, and confusion about the role of economic growth and about the concept of sustainability. The purpose of this study was to identify common elements in a political economy of the environment, relating environmental change to the dynamics of ideology and policy, and at different levels of political complexity. The intention was to provide a structural analysis of the environment in which the development process illuminates environmental change at both a philosophical and material level. The problem in achieving SD was related to the overriding structures of the international economic system, which have arisen out of the exploitation of environmental resources, and which frequently operate as constraints on the achievement of long-term sustainable practices. Insufficient accounting of ecological aspects of economic growth and development has resulted from intellectual traditions, where solutions are formulated, point in different directions. Conclusions are drawn that SD involves trade-offs between biological, economic and social systems and is found in the interactive zone between these systems. There are a number of international factors that may be necessary, but insufficient, conditions for SD on a national level, including peace, debt reduction, and more propitious terms of trade. There was seen dilemmas relating to SD, including the role of growth as the unquestioned objective of economic policy.

Texto completoResumen
The strict divisions of city spaces created by physical urban planning disintegrated under transformations of capitalism and its accompanying crises of overaccumulation, social urban planning was elaborated to more effectively control the capitalist city and to reintegrate the increasingly blighted areas of the once popular amusements into the economy.This disciplined reintegration, unsuccessfully attempted in New York City's Times Square since the late 1920s. is finally being realized by the redevelopment forces that began shaping the city's spatial practices in the wake of the fiscal crisis of 1975. The development projects undertaken in midtown Manhattan following the recovery from the fiscal crisis are transforming the renowned Times Square theater district into a strikingly different urban environment. The new politics of redevelopment under the regime of flexible accumulation are almost exclusively oriented towards economic development that is equated with speculative property investments, rebuilding Times Square to promote the global city's finance monopoly. Denying the existence of the public realm and celebrating free market laissez-faire policy, the 42nd Street Development Project, under the guise of removing blight, is eliminating the undesirable and underprivileged from the new image of the Bright Lights District. Times Square as a center of the local popular culture of Broadway theaters, cinemas, restaurants, billboard spectaculars, and public celebrations, has been lost as a public space. In the redevelopment projects now imaging the Crossroads of the World, the lost city of the past is recreated through the commodification of its collective memory, fashioning a Disneyfied spectacle for the global urban center.

Texto completoResumen
Despite the ubiquity of the First World War as a key moment in the development of New Zealand’s national identity in scholarship and public memory, key aspects remain under explored. This thesis addresses a particularly noticeable gap – the operation and contents of New Zealand’s official First World War propaganda campaign. Through this focus, this thesis particularly explores how such propaganda reflected New Zealand’s place within, and engagement with, the concept of the ‘British world’. Propaganda is an ideal window into the workings of the British world during the war, illustrating both the operation of the practical connections, and the ideological reflections of national, imperial, and ‘British’ identities in the British world. Therefore, New Zealand and Britain’s First World War propaganda demonstrates the nature of the British world, particularly through exploration of the ways that New Zealand’s official campaign connected to and interacted with Britain’s official wartime propaganda campaign. Specifically, the thesis argues that a gap existed between the rhetorical ‘British world’, as constructed in the content of New Zealand’s wartime propaganda, and the practical realities of how the British world operated and interacted during the war.
While New Zealand was comfortable rhetorically identifying itself as ‘British’ and part of the British world, practical limitations of communication and interaction with Britain often inhibited this theoretical community. The concept of ‘Dominion perspective’ is crucial to this interpretation. New Zealand’s Dominion status was central to the operation of propaganda in and between New Zealand and Britain during the war, and to New Zealand’s identification of itself within its propaganda. This interpretation reflects a wider view of New Zealand’s experience of the British world. Though concepts of Dominion status and the British world were centrally important to New Zealand during the war, they were not unproblematic. These concepts were frequently reshaped both theoretically and practically. The First World War was crucial to this development, as the closer interaction and cooperation within the British world it demanded, laid bare both the practical shortcomings of the British world, and the contested nature of concepts of Dominion status and the British world itself. The operation of official wartime propaganda in the British world reflects this wider process, and its significance to New Zealand.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Since its origins in the years immediately following the Second World War, the Unified Command Plan (UCP) has evolved through the combined effects of external pressure from strategic planning for a global war with the Soviet Union and the internal bureaucratic and doctrinal infighting among the Joint Staff and the various services. This infighting was not merely over service' 'turf battles', but also touched the very heart of the individual services' philosophies on command in war. This thesis follows the history of that evolutionary process since World War II with an eye toward a future revision to the UCP. Given the fundamentally altered geo-strategic situation brought about by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the author argues for a complete revision of the UCP based on distinct post-Cold War theater and regional missions. Instead of consolidating the bulk of U.S.-based forces into the U.S. Atlantic Command, the author proposes the retention of several separate (but joint) 'strategic' conventional forces commands based on mission, readiness, and deployability/sustainability criterion.
