The dissertation concerns the construction of Stalins White Sea-Baltic Canal (Belomorsko-Baltiskii Kanal imeni Stalina), one of the most significant and infamous forced-labor projects of Soviet Russia. In just twenty months from 1931-1933, political and criminal prisoners built a 227-kilometer-long canal in extreme environmental conditions, without the help of any modern equipment. This early Gulag project differed greatly from others in its broad use of art and creativity as a motivational and ...

Esta tese estuda a sensibilidade e memória do clima global ao aumento do gelo marinho Antártico, levando em consideração o tempo de persistência dos máximos de gelo (concentração e espessura) sob condições climáticas atuais. A sensibilidade das \emph{storm tracks} no Hemisfério Sul e do clima da América do Sul ao aumento do gelo marinho também são analisadas, bem como o mecanismo envolvido na restauração do equilíbrio climático. Dois grupos de experimentos foram realizados. No primeiro o gelo ma...

In this research I examine the adaptive strategies and practices that an indigenous community uses to cope with stresses and threats of their local environment. I consider the premise that the continuous interactions with nature by a people who have lived in the same geographic region for great periods of time can lead to traditional ecological knowledge that benefits human well being, and can also result in practices that result in the protection and sustainable use of the natural resources of ...

The variability of global sea-level change is characterized by small magnitude in short time span but large scale distribution from the last century. Even though the secular trend and seasonal strength are merely a few mm to cm, the quantity is an immense amount of hyd...

This dissertation consists of three chapters describing seismic stratigraphic studies in three very different continental margin settings. The first chapter discusses the northwestern Ross Sea, the second discusses the southeastern Weddell Sea and the third discusses the Alabama/west Florida margin. The purpose was to investigate stratigraphic relationships between deposition during glacial periods (i.e., eustatic lowstands) and interglacial periods (i.e., eustatic highstands) on high-latitude a...

The Sea Transport Documents Act, 65 of 2000, was a remedial statute intended to provide a solution to the problem of title to sue under the contract of carriage evidenced by sea transport documents. At common law a contract of carriage is not transferable. The contract of carriage is ordinarily concluded between the shipper and the carrier. The consignee lacks title to sue yet in terms of international sale contracts on C.I.F and F.O.B terms the consignee would be the person who stood to suffer ...

Tesi realitzada a l'Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) / At the end of the Miocene (5.97-5.33 Ma), the Mediterranean basins underwent deep morphological and sedimentological changes as a result of the large-scale sea-level fall during the so-called Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) and subsequent fast sea-level rise in the 3 Zanclean. Whereas deep basins accumulated more than 1 million km of evaporites, continental margins recorded several erosion surfaces. Through the analysis of 2D and 3D ...

Northern pike or pike Esox lucius is total piscivorous fish species found in the brackish and freshwater ecosystems of the Northern hemisphere. It is a top predator and keystone species that causes cascading effects in these ecosystems. Otoliths have been used to estimate age and growth rates in most fishes. Cleithra have generally have been used in Pike due to opaque nature of the otoliths. The aim of this study was to develop a method for age and growth estimation of pike using sagittal otolit...

SEA PLOT is a three-dimensional graphics program written for the Compass Hammer research effort. The program portrays a war-at-sea scenario in which a single aircraft attacks a single ship target located at the origin of an earth-fixed coordinate system. To plot the three-dimensional scenario on a two- dimensional plotting surface, a conic projection technique is used in which a cone of vision is generated based on the position of a viewer's eye. The position of the eye is automatically placed b...

There is no method to solve ECDLP efficiently. The security of elliptic curve cryptosystem(ECC) is based on ECDLP. Therefore, The key of ECC can be shorter than that of RSA in order to reac...

This essay will attempt to show how the pastoral ambiguity is portrayed in Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea. The essay will argue that the pastoral is presented through the characters’ idealisation of the former colonised respectively colonising cultures and countries. This is done by focusing on four recurring themes in the concept of pastoral, namely identity, displacement, refuge and return. Moreover, the essay claims that the ambiguity of the pastoral is strengthened by the symbolism and imagery...

Elemental and carbon isotopic analyses of suspended and sea ice particulate organic matter (POC) from Antarctica show enrichments in $\sp{13}$C unrelated to atmospheric CO$\sb2$ variations. Phytoplankton bloom-related POC from the southwestern Ross Sea during 1992 had a range in $\delta\sp{13}$C of 7$\rm\perthous.\ \delta\sp{13}C\sb{POC}$ collected from pack ice had an 11$\rm\perthous$ range, with highest values found in the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas and lower values found in Ross Sea pac...

Paleoenvironmental records provide ample information on the Late Quaternary climatic evolution. Due to the great diversity of continental mid-latitude environments the synthetic picture of the past mid-latitudinal climate changes is, however, far from being complete. Owing to its significant size and landlocked setting the Black Sea constitutes a perfect location to study patterns and mechanisms of climate change along the continental interior of Central and Eastern Europe and Asia Minor. Presen...

A comprehensive study is conducted to evaluate global sea levels for trends and variations due to climate change and variability by using non-parametric methods. Individual and coupled effects of inter-annual ENSO, decadal PDO, multi-decadal AMO, and quasi-decadal NAO on sea levels are evaluated. Combined influences of different phases (cool or warm) of PDO, AMO, and NAO influences and ENSO are also evaluated. The results from this study showed that sea level at 60% of the sites is increasing wi...
