    A Pre-history of Green Architecture: Otto Koenigsberger and Tropical Architecture, from Princely Mysore to Post-colonial London By Vandana Baweja A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Robert L. Fishman, Chair Assistant Professor Andrew H. Herscher Assistant Professor Fernando Luiz Lara Assistant Professor Christi Ann Merrill Acknowledgements I would like to thank Robert Fishman, my advisor at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, for his enormous support, guidance, and mentorship. I could not have hoped to work with a better advisor than Robert Fishman, for whom I have tremendous respect as a scholar and teacher. I hope I can be as wonderful and generous a mentor and teacher to my students as Professor Fishman has been to me. I’ve also received outstanding support from other faculty at the University of Michigan. Many thanks in particular to my dissertation committee, Andrew Herscher, Fernando Lara, and Christi Merrill, for their feedback, support, and advice. Christi Merrill has been a particularly supportive mentor and a wonderful friend whose criticism and advice enriched this dissertation tremendously. Christi’s exemplar mentoring skills have informed my pedagogical thinking and the kind of teacher I hope to be. David Scobey, who served on my exam committee, introduced me to a wonderful set of readings on architecture and nationalism. I owe him a great debt of gratitude for mentoring me through the preliminary exams. Thanks to Lydia Soo for offering two great doctoral colloquia in our department, the first of which helped me write my dissertation proposal and the second of which provided a great support group for finishing my dissertation chapters.

    Tournament 16 Round 8 Tossups 1. The overuse of this substance is known as overdraft, which may cause widespread collapses of land known as subsidence. Salt intrusion is a major problem facing use of this substance in coastal regions. A large area where this substance is found is centered on the plains states and is named for Ogallala. This substance completely saturates available space at a namesake (*) “table,” and it comes to the surface at artesian wells. For 10 points, name this substance found in aquifers. ANSWER: groundwater [prompt on water or equivalents] 026-10-23-08102 2. Several families of rockets have been named for this event, whose initial failures were due to Otto Braun's poor planning and the printing presses and typewriters included as essential equipment. Following the destruction of the (*) Jiangxi (jang-SHEE) Soviet, this event allowed the survivors to set up a base at Yanan, which was separated from Jiangxi by eighteen mountain ranges, twenty-four rivers, and a total of six thousand miles. For 10 points, identify this mass migration that concluded in 1936 with Mao Zedong leading a newly secure Chinese Communist Party. ANSWER: Long March [or Chang Zheng] 019-10-23-08103 3. The consequences of this philosophy title a work by Richard Rorty. One proponent of this philosophy seeks the “cash value” of truths in a work that delineates the “tender-”and “tough-minded” types of it with the example of a man chasing a squirrel around a tree. Its founders include Charles Sanders Peirce (“PURSE”) and John Dewey. It was described as “A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking” in an eponymous essay by William (*) James.

  • Similarities and Differences Among Iberian Creoles
    Chapter 11 Similarities and differences among Iberian creoles Eeva Sippola University of Bremen This study provides an account of the classifications of Iberian creoles based on a phylogenetic network analysis of typological and lexical data. It maps the shared linguistic traits of these creoles and compares the differences between them. The results of the typological analysis support previous classifications, showing a clear division between Atlantic and Asian creoles, and the main subgroups are divided geographically. However, connections between the subgroups are less clear due to the degree of detail of the typological feature values. The similarities consist of typologically unmarked features that are shared with the lexifiers. The differences are a result of areal substrate and adstrate influence. Keywords: Iberian creoles, areality, groupings, similarities, differences 11.1 Introduction Creoles with a lexicon drawn from Spanish and Portuguese represent the oldest, most diverse, and most geographically dispersed creoles. This chapter provides an account of the classifications of this subgroup of contact varieties based on a phy- logenetic network analysis of typological and lexical data. It aims to map the shared linguistic traits of the Iberian creoles and compare the differences between them. Previous comparative studies of Iberian creoles (e.g. Cardoso et al. 2012; Clements 2009; Hagemeijer 2011; Jacobs 2012) have identified clusters based on geography and on structural and lexical features. However, most of these stud- ies have concentrated on individual languages, areal subclusters, and features characteristic of a subgroup of creoles. To date, few studies have taken a wide comparative focus on these languages (for exceptions, see Hancock 1975; Ferraz 1987).

Alexis H. Lepicier, O.S.M., D D ., has very graciously blessed the Compiler and all those who have co-operated with him in bringing out the Directory. That this issue has merited in any special manner this courteous treat­ ment, is, to the Compiler, a matter of doubt, for he is fully aware that in spite of every effort at accuracy, errors and misprints have crept in. Yet, he feels sure that this Volume, like its, renowned predecessors, goes forth on its annual mission of usefulness and interest to a large number of Catholics of India, Burma and Ceylon. In the name of his Co-operators and in his own name, the Compiler thanks His Excellency the Visitor Apostolic for his very kind thought and Blessing. s It is a pleasant duty also to the Compiler to thank all those who have helped him in getting out this issue, though he has also to witzs/on confess that a few have failed in submitting >the usual sacred returns.

Both are forgiven. The eventual size of the task was unsuspected at its beginning in the fall of 1990; bibliographies are easily begun, but decisions on their limits and conclusion are difficult. I have attempted to include all major and substantive works on the Chaetognatha. The inevitable omissions are inadvertent, although-a recognized deficiency of the work lies in an incomplete listing of Russian references; I havE~ included only those available to me in translated or t.ransliterated form.
