Gabriel Pendon Universidad de Sevilla Departamento de Geologia y Mineria Facultad de Ciencias Experimentales 21819 La Rabida Palos Fra. Huelva, Spain ABSTRACT _ BORREGO, J.; MORALES, J.A., and PENDON, J,G" 1993. Holocene filling of an estuarine lagoon along the mesotidal coast of Huelva: The Piedras River mouth, southwesternSpain. Journal of Coastal Research, .tllllllllt. 9(1),242-254. Fort Lauderdale (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The mesotidal coast of Huelva (S.W. Spain) is a tide-dominated (mixed energy) coastline type. This .~~ -~. littoral zone is subject to a warm-temperate climate. Tidal regime is both mesotidal and semidiurnal with _2_&_--- a slight diurnal inequality. The Piedras River mouth operates like an estuarine lagoon, where sediment supply is of dominantly marine provenance. Depositional facies along the inner estuary includes: (1) "'4b &-- channel, (2) active channel margin, (3) salt marsh and (4) sterile marsh facies. All these facies are very similar to those described in other locations. Inner facies are asociated along the estuary mouth with spit facies and related environments: beach and dunes. Three stages in recent evolution of Piedras Estuary have been distinguished. The estuary-mouth morphology has evolved from a barrier-island system into an elongated spit accretion due to a decrease of the tidal prism. Two processes have changed the tidal prism: (1) estuary tilling and (2) dam construction. ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS: Littoral processes, tidal prism, estuarine [acies, spit elongation, Gull of Cadir. -
The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans. -

Both Odiel and Tinto salt marshes are the major wetlands in Andalusia (Spain). From the mid-1950s to date, the land use changes (LUC) have caused a great landscape alteration that along with the effects of climatic variables and sea wave energy have given rise to a hard impact on the environment. The advent of new image processing proce- dures and use of high-resolution images from satellites gave precise patterns of erosion. In this work, a new method patented by the author is presented and used to obtain the total cubic meters of eroded soil in both salt marshes. -

Eight sedimentary facies were deposited in the last ca. 9000 years BP, confirming a transgressive–regressive cycle that involves the transition from fluvial to salt marsh deposits with intermediate marine tidal deposits. A storm event is detected at ca. 5705 14C years BP (mean calibrated age) with distinct lithostratigraphical, textural, geochemical, and palaeontological features. # 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The cases studied are the wave-dominated Guadalete, and the mixed, tide and wave-dominated Odiel-Tinto estuaries. The sequence boundary is a type-l surface produced during the low stand of the Last Glacial period ca. 18 000 14C yr BP No fluvial lowstand deposits were found in the area. Due to rapid transgression the valley fills consist of transgressive and highstand sediments. -

CHAPTER I, As long as Englishmen are sailors and mer- chants, and love enterprise and admire greatness of courage, they ought to hold in veneration the memory of Christopher Columbus. If anything could shake his popularity in England, it is to be feared that it might be the discovery that he was not only a daring seaman, who, despising all timid counsels and dark forebodings, gallantly sailed his little craft into a world of unknown waters, but moreover all the time a saint of Holy Church ; and that when he departed this life he was ripe for canonization, and that he even miraculously aids those who commend themselves to his power- ful intercession. This is at least a new idea for Englishmen, who have derived in nearly every case all their information about the character and work of the great admiral from the beautiful Life written by Washington Irving. The Protestant mind is impatient of the supernatural. Direct in- tervention of Heaven is conceivable in the case of 9 lo Christopher Columbus, the ancient Jews, because they lived so long ago, but a fixed providential mission, more especially in the shape of actual voyages preordained and even prophesied, is surely not quite what men need be prepared to admit for the days of a Tu- dor prince. -
Euripides and Gender: the Difference the Fragments Make
Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Ruby Blondell, Chair Deborah Kamen Olga Levaniouk Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2013 Melissa Karen Anne Funke University of Washington Abstract Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ruby Blondell Department of Classics Research on gender in Greek tragedy has traditionally focused on the extant plays, with only sporadic recourse to discussion of the many fragmentary plays for which we have evidence. This project aims to perform an extensive study of the sixty-two fragmentary plays of Euripides in order to provide a picture of his presentation of gender that is as full as possible. Beginning with an overview of the history of the collection and transmission of the fragments and an introduction to the study of gender in tragedy and Euripides’ extant plays, this project takes up the contexts in which the fragments are found and the supplementary information on plot and character (known as testimonia) as a guide in its analysis of the fragments themselves. These contexts include the fifth- century CE anthology of Stobaeus, who preserved over one third of Euripides’ fragments, and other late antique sources such as Clement’s Miscellanies, Plutarch’s Moralia, and Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae. The sections on testimonia investigate sources ranging from the mythographers Hyginus and Apollodorus to Apulian pottery to a group of papyrus hypotheses known as the “Tales from Euripides”, with a special focus on plot-type, especially the rape-and-recognition and Potiphar’s wife storylines. -
Spain & Portugal Aboard the Sea Cloud
SPAIN & PORTUGAL ABOARD THE SEA CLOUD: BIRDS, NATURE & CULTURE APRIL 14–24, 2019 SOUTHERN PORTUGAL PRE-TRIP APRIL 8–15, 2019 ©2018 The Sea Cloud © Sea Cloud Cruises Spain & Portugal, Page 2 Vibrant cities, verdant pastoral landscapes, and alluring coastlines characterize two of Europe’s most romantic and evocative countries: Portugal and Spain. For this voyage—VENT’s first-ever cruise to the western Mediterranean—we have chartered the peerless Sea Cloud, a four-masted barque widely regarded as the world’s most beautiful sailing vessel, for a trip that combines the lustrous history and architectural wonders of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, and the Andalusía region of Spain, with emphasis on the region’s natural history highlights, particularly birds and botany. An exciting itinerary begins in charming Lisbon, from which we’ll cruise a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean before tracing a route along the south coast of the Iberian Peninsula through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea en route to Valencia on the Spanish Riviera. We’ll call at Huelva and Motril, gateway ports to the famous cities of Seville and Granada. Here, we’ll visit an array of important landmarks, some of which are among the most visually appealing in Spain including the Real Alcázar, Royal Chapel of Granada, and, above all, the monumental Alhambra. Rounding out the cultural offerings will be opportunities to visit charming coastal villages, partake in a wine-tasting excursion, enjoy an authentic Flamenco show in the heart of the country where that style of music and dance originated, and, if the timing is right, view an elaborate Holy Week procession (Semana Santa) in Seville. -

Decision Trees on Lidar to Classify Land Uses and Covers
DECISION TREES ON LIDAR TO CLASSIFY LAND USES AND COVERS Jorge Garcia-Gutierreza, Luis Gonc¸alves-Secob, Jose C. Riquelme-Santosa aSchool of Computer Engineer, University of Seville Reina Mercedes s/n, 41012 Seville, Spain [email protected], [email protected] bFaculty of Sciences, University of Porto Rua Campo Alegre 687, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal [email protected] KEY WORDS: LIDAR, point cloud, unsupervised classification, land covers, C4.5, decision trees. ABSTRACT: The area of Huelva, in the South of Spain, is a well-known case of human pressure on the natural environment. In Huelva, National Parks, like Donana,˜ and industrial and tourist zones coexist in difficult balance. The Regional Ministry of Andalusia is commissioned to assure the preservation of the natural resources in this part of Spain although its cost can be high in time and money. Remote sensing is a very suitable tool to carry out this task and automatic land use and cover detection can be a key factor to reduce costs. In addition, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) has the advantage of being able to create elevation surfaces that are in 3D, while also having information on LIDAR intensity values. Many measures based on its intensity, density and its capacity for describing third dimension have been used previously with other purposes and outstanding results. In this paper, a new approach to identify land cover at high resolution is proposed selecting the most interesting attributes from a set of LIDAR measures. Our approach is based on data mining principles to take advantage on intelligent techniques (attribute selection and C4.5 algorithm decision tree) to classify quickly and efficiently without the need for manipulating multiespectral images.
