  • Pablo Neruda - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Pablo Neruda - poems - Publication Date: 2011 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Pablo Neruda(12 July 1904 – 23 September 1973) Pablo Neruda was the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean poet and politician Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto. He chose his pen name after Czech poet Jan Neruda. Neruda wrote in a variety of styles such as erotically charged love poems as in his collection Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair, surrealist poems, historical epics, and overtly political manifestos. In 1971 Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez once called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language." Neruda always wrote in green ink as it was his personal color of hope. On July 15, 1945, at Pacaembu Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil, he read to 100,000 people in honor of Communist revolutionary leader Luís Carlos Prestes. During his lifetime, Neruda occupied many diplomatic positions and served a stint as a senator for the Chilean Communist Party. When Conservative Chilean President González Videla outlawed communism in Chile in 1948, a warrant was issued for Neruda's arrest. Friends hid him for months in a house basement in the Chilean port of Valparaíso. Later, Neruda escaped into exile through a mountain pass near Maihue Lake into Argentina. Years later, Neruda was a close collaborator to socialist President Salvador Allende. When Neruda returned to Chile after his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Allende invited him to read at the Estadio Nacional before 70,000 people.

We have developed a scheme to process large numbers, typically more than 6000, images by photogrammetric techniques, which include, multiple image matching, pyramid strategy, and bundle block adjustments. In this paper, we present models for map quadrangles of the southern hemisphere H11, H12, H13, and H14. 1. INTRODUCTION Mercury requires sophisticated models for calibrations of focal length and distortion of the camera. In particular, the WAC The MErcury Surface, Space ENviorment, GEochemistry, and camera and NAC camera were demonstrated to show a linear Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft entered orbit about increase in focal length by up to 0.10% over the typical range of Mercury in March 2011 to carry out a comprehensive temperatures (-20 to +20 °C) during operation, which causes a topographic mapping of the planet.

Conway2, and Jack Wright1 1The Open University, Department of Physical Sciences, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ([email protected]) 2LPG Nantes - CNRS, Université de Nantes, France ([email protected]) Abstract: Our tectonic mapping as part of a larger morphostratigraphic mapping effort of the H13, Neruda Quadrangle (1) has led us to recognise the “Neruda-Paramour” thrust system. The system appears to extend from the southern limits of H13 north through H09 and H08 and simplifies at its northern end into Paramour Rupes (Figure 1). Mercury’s tectonic evolution is dominated by global scale contractional structures of which the Neruda-Paramour system is part of (2). These structures are believed to have formed either by secular cooling of the planet (3), tidal despinning (4), mantle overturn (5), true polar wander (6) or a combination of these processes. Regardless of the process, Mercury’s surface exhibits abundant evidence of global contraction in the form of shortening structures such as lobate scarps, high relief ridges and wrinkles ridges (7,8). These features are widely accepted as the surface expressions of thrust faulting and folding, produced by lithospheric horizontal compression. Often, these contractional features comprise major thrust systems as linked segments with a consistent trend (8).

  • Monuments of Culture and the Cult of the Monument

Mitchell Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2013 DOCTORAL COMMITTEE PAGE The dissertation of Renae L. Mitchell was reviewed and approved* by the following: Djelal Kadir Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Comparative Literature Dissertation Adviser and Chair of Committee Thomas O. Beebee Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Comparative Literature and German Julia Cuervo-Hewitt Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese Sean X. Goudie Associate Professor of English Caroline D. Eckhardt Professor of Comparative Literature and English Head of the Department of Comparative Literature *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. Abstract By evaluating instances of creative critiques and interrogations of the monument, this study seeks to demonstrate how commemorations of a valorized European past are constructions of an originary moment that elide the complexities of Conquest and its attendant legacy of transculturation and miscegenation in the Americas. This project explores the ways in which the American monument subverts popular resistance by embodying master narratives for a people, and focuses on the ideological manifestations of the monument through the works of writers who figure prominently, one could say, monumentally, in the Americas. I trace this phenomenon of alienating monumentalism in various cultural productions—not only books, but sculpture, earthworks, and other artifacts — examining the formation of asymmetrical cultural relations embodied by these products, especially as they continue to influence contemporary American narrative and art.

  • Geological Mapping of the Neruda Quadrangle (H13) of Mercury
    Planetary Geologic Mappers 2020 (LPI Contrib. No. 2357) 7028.pdf GEOLOGICAL MAPPING OF THE NERUDA QUADRANGLE (H13) OF MERCURY. B. Man1, D. A. Rothery1, M. R. Balme1, and S. J. Conway2, J. Wright1, 1School of Physical Sciences, The Open University, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, UK ([email protected]), 2CNRS, UMR 6112 Laboratoire de Planétologie et Géodynamique, Université de Nantes, France. ABSTRACT Introduction: With ESA-JAXA’s BepiColombo mission underway, it is imperative that a full set of comprehensive geological maps is produced prior to the arrival of the spacecraft, to provide context for BepiColombo’s studies [1]. As part of a concerted effort by PLANMAP, Mercury is being mapped on a quadrangle basis [2]. Here I present my mapping progress for the Neruda quadrangle (H13; 180–270°E, 22.5–65°S). Data and methods: Primary basemap: H13’s ~166 mpp v1.0 BDR tiles with moderate (~74°) solar incidence angles. Secondary basemaps: low (~45°) and high (~78°) incidence angle basemaps; ~665 mpp enhanced color mosaic; MLA- and stereo-derived DEMs. Map projection: Lambert Conformal Conic (c. meridian, 135°E; st. parallels, 30°S and 58°S; radius, 2439400 km). Scale: 1:3M with digitization scale at 1:300k. Progress: Mapping has focused on crater rim and tectonic structure linework. An extensive thrust system has been identified striking generally N-S. With H13 being perhaps the most densely cratered quadrangle on the planet [3], crater linework and classification are expected to require significant review before completion.
