  • Fossil Polychaetes from the Upper Cretaceous Rock Formations of South India—
    FOSSIL POLYCHAETES FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS ROCK FORMATIONS OF SOUTH INDIA--PART II BY G. W. CHIPLONKAR AND P. M. TAPASWI (Maharashtra Association for the Cultivation of Science, Poona-4) Received October 29, 1972 (Communicated by Prof. T.S. Mahabale) ABSTRACT Eight polychaetan species are described here, three of which, viz., Burtinella concava (Sow.), Tubulostium eallosum Stol. T. discoidium Stol., described by Stoliczka as gastropod species, are now transferred to the Polyehaeta in the light of new information. Among the three species described here as new to science, one has for its proper placement, necessitated creation of the now genus, viz., Rotulispira falling under the subfamily Spirorbinae Chamborlin. Spirorbula Nielsen is repotted for the first time from South Indian Cretaceous. Family Terebellidae Grube represented by Terebellolites Desio, a heterogenous group, is also recorded for the first time from these deposits. INTRODUCTION IN the present communication eight more (Chiplonkar and Tapaswi, 1973, Pt. I) polychaetan species are described. As mentioned in Part I, we have followed, except where otherwise indicated, Regenhardt (1961) in his classification of the Serpulidae.

  • Biomineralization of Polychaete Annelids in the Fossil Record
    minerals Review Biomineralization of Polychaete Annelids in the Fossil Record Olev Vinn Department of Geology, University of Tartu, Ravila 14A, 50411 Tartu, Estonia; [email protected]; Tel.: +372-5067728 Received: 31 August 2020; Accepted: 25 September 2020; Published: 29 September 2020 Abstract: Ten distinct microstructures occur in fossil serpulids and serpulid tubes can contain several layers with different microstructures. Diversity and complexity of serpulid skeletal structures has greatly increased throughout their evolution. In general, Cenozoic serpulid skeletal structures are better preserved than Mesozoic ones. The first complex serpulid microstructures comparable to those of complex structures of molluscs appeared in the Eocene. The evolution of serpulid tube microstructures can be explained by the importance of calcareous tubes for serpulids as protection against predators and environmental disturbances. Both fossil cirratulids and sabellids are single layered and have only spherulitic prismatic tube microstructures. Microstructures of sabellids and cirratulids have not evolved since the appearance of calcareous species in the Jurassic and Oligocene, respectively. The lack of evolution in sabellids and cirratulids may result from the unimportance of biomineralization for these groups as only few species of sabellids and cirratulids have ever built calcareous tubes. Keywords: biominerals; calcite; aragonite; skeletal structures; serpulids; sabellids; cirratulids; evolution 1. Introduction Among polychaete annelids, calcareous tubes are known in serpulids, cirratulids and sabellids [1–3]. The earliest serpulids and sabellids are known from the Permian [4], and cirratulids from the Oligocene [5]. Only serpulids dwell exclusively within calcareous tubes. Polychaete annelids build their tubes from calcite, aragonite or a mixture of both polymorphs. Calcareous polychaete tubes possess a variety of ultrastructural fabrics, from simple to complex, some being unique to annelids [1].

  • Brick Pollitt
    THE ESTATE OF MENDACITY: AN INTERPRETATION OF WILLIAMS’S MOST AMBIGUOUS CHARACTER by CREED BOWLEN B.A. University of Alabama at Birmingham, 2002 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Department of Theatre in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2010 © 2008 Daniel Creed Bowlen ii ABSTRACT I performed the role of Brick Pollitt at Lake Mirror Theatre in Lakeland, Florida from April 20- April 30 2006. The role of Brick Pollitt provided me with several acting challenges as well as multiple subjects to research. The most challenging aspects of portraying the character of Brick Pollitt are his alcoholism, issues of sexuality, and tormented familial relationships. Brick Pollitt journeys in the period of one day through major challenges in two key relationships. He moves from dominance in his relationship with Maggie to capitulation and from isolation in his relationship with Big Daddy to mutual understanding. Brick’s relationships are further complicated by questions surrounding his recently deceased best friend Skipper and drives (alcoholism) that may be perceived as self destructive. My preliminary work has led me to believe Brick is in search of peace (‘the click’) in a tormented life (Williams, Cat 2.47). The nature of the torment needs further research for definition. Some critics argue Brick’s sexuality is ambivalent, and he is repressing homosexual drives. Equally possible is arguing the homosexuality was restricted to Skipper. Making a decision about the definition of this relationship is key to making choices within the play because the friendship was so important to Brick’s perception of himself.

  • Polychaeta, Annelida)
    Carnets de Géologie / Notebooks on Geology - Letter CG2011/05 (CG2011_L05) Evolution of a dense outer protective tube layer in serpulids (Polychaeta, Annelida) 1 Olev VINN 2 Elena K. KUPRIYANOVA Abstract: Although the walls of most serpulid tubes are homogeneous, tubes of certain species may contain up to four ultrastructurally distinct layers. Some of these layers are made of densely packed large crystals and others are composed of sparsely packed fine crystals. In almost all (16 of 17) examined species having layered tubes, the dense layer is located in the outer wall part and the layer(s) composed of fine and relatively sparsely packed crystals are positioned in the inner wall part. Two species have transparent tube walls made entirely of densely packed crystals. Fossil serpulid tubes with dense outer layers (DOL) are known from the Late Cretaceous (Pentaditrupa subtorquata) and the Eocene (Pyrgopolon cf. mellevillei and Rotularia spirulaea). DOL gives a characteristic smooth shiny appearance to the tube surface and presumably evolved as an adaptation against drilling predation by gastropods and to delay shell dissolution in the waters of the deep-sea under-saturated with calcium carbonate. Key Words: Serpulidae; biomineralization; tube ultrastructure; evolution. Citation : VINN O. & KUPRIYANOVA E.K.

  • Biennial Review of Alcohol and Drug Programs
    Biennial Review 2018 – 2019 and 2019 – 2020 Prepared by: Katie Fisher, EdD Assistant Provost and Dean of Student Life Campus Box 7484 Hickory, NC 28603 Phone: (828) 328-7246 Email: [email protected] In accordance with The Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Regulations (EDGAR Part 86), Lenoir-Rhyne University will conduct a biennial review of alcohol and other drug programs and services. Pursuant to EDGAR Part 86, all institutions of higher education receiving federal funds or financial assistance must develop and implement a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. Each institution must conduct a biennial review of the program’s effectiveness and the consistency of the enforcement of sanctions. Description of LR’s Alcohol and Drug Program Lenoir-Rhyne University is committed holistic development of students; mind and spirit. Lenoir-Rhyne recognizes that alcohol and drug misuse creates harm for the individual, for persons impacted by the actions of the individual, as well as for the larger University community. Harms associated with misuse could include legal, academic, social, mental, or physical consequences. It is important to educate all persons associated with Lenoir-Rhyne University of the policies, strategies, education, interventions, and response associated with the prevention of harms that may be caused by misuse of alcohol and other drugs. Lenoir-Rhyne utilizes a multi-layered system of individual, organizational, and environmental approaches to prevent the harms associated with alcohol and drug use. These approaches include awareness and messaging, education (preventive and indicated), training, and resource development.

  • M. A. Woods Et Al. 1 a Reappraisal of the Stratigraphy and Depositional
    A reappraisal of the stratigraphy and depositional development of the Upper Greensand (Late Albian) of the Devizes district, southern England UPPER GREENSAND STRATIGRAPHY, DEVIZES, WILTSHIRE, UK M. A. Woods1, I. P. Wilkinson1, G. K. Lott1, K. A. Booth1, A. R. Farrant1, P. M. Hopson1 and A. J. Newell2 Woods, M. A., Wilkinson, I. P., Lott, G. K., Booth, K. A., Farrant, A. R., Hopson, P. M. & A. J. Newell. 200#. A reappraisal of the stratigraphy and depositional development of the Upper Greensand (Late Albian) of the Devizes District, southern England. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, XXX. 000 - 000. Three members are recognised within the Upper Greensand Formation of the Devizes district on the basis of outcrop, newly acquired cored borehole and petrographical data. These are, in ascending stratigraphical order, Cann Sand Member, Potterne Sandstone Member and Easterton Sandstone Member. Compared to the imprecise historical subdivisions, the members provide a much clearer indication of lithological variation through the Upper Greensand, and this in turn provides clues to its depositional development. The biostratigraphy of each member has been determined using macrofossils and microfossils. The new biostratigraphical data clarifies the relationship of the Potterne Rock to the traditionally named 'Ragstone' which caps the Shaftesbury Sandstone in the Shaftesbury district, and suggests that the correlation of the Potterne Rock and 'Ragstone' is less straightforward than previously suggested. M. A. Woods et al. 1 There are some distinct contrasts with the stratigraphy of the Upper Greensand southwest of Devizes (Shaftesbury & Wincanton districts). Whilst tectonic influences have been demonstrated to affect coeval strata in parts of the eastern Weald, these may not be the dominant control on the Devizes succession, which seems to be more strongly influenced by its palaeogeographical setting with respect to sediment source areas, and the effect this had on the volume and timing of sediment infill.

  • (Re)Presentations of Homosexuality: the Frame and Knowledge in the Making
    (RE)PRESENTATIONS OF HOMOSEXUALITY: THE FRAME AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE MAKING by Matthew Isherwood THIS THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIERMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Curriculum Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February 2015 © Matthew Isherwood, 2015 Abstract This thesis is an inquiry into how one understands sexual difference. It will consider how queer lives are presented to us in the media, and it attends to ways in which these presentations might influence and shape our knowledge of queer subjects. The primary research questions addressed in this thesis include: Do sites of everyday influence continue to promote stereotypes? What does this mean for homosexual individual? And if such sites do promote such stereotypes, can sex education curriculum attempt to undo media bias? To address these questions, the thesis considers popular representations circulating in the media. It considers these representations in light of the author’s own experiences as a gay man. The critical thinking that emerges from this act is made possible by engaging with multiple pieces of content, as well as the work of queer theorists such as Sedgwick and Butler and Halperin. In this sense, a new question emerges: How can one keep knowledge in the making alive and ongoing? ii Preface This dissertation is original, unpublished, independent work by the author, M.

  • BLAME IT on the ALCOHOL: CONTEXTUAL ACTIVATION of RELATIONSHIP- SPECIFIC ALCOHOL EXPECTANCIES a Thesis Presented
    BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL: CONTEXTUAL ACTIVATION OF RELATIONSHIP- SPECIFIC ALCOHOL EXPECTANCIES _______________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Psychology University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts _______________ By Sana Haddad May, 2017 BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL: CONTEXTUAL ACTIVATION OF RELATIONSHIP- SPECIFIC ALCOHOL EXPECTANCIES _______________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Psychology University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts _______________ By Sana Haddad May, 2017 CONTEXTUAL ACTIVATION OF RSAE 3 ABSTRACT Alcohol expectancies (i.e., beliefs about the effects of alcohol) have been shown to influence drinking behavior. However, this effect only seems to occur in particular contexts, such as the romantic relationship. Previous research has found that relationship-specific alcohol expectancies (RSAE) are alcohol expectancies directly pertaining to the romantic partner. They can exist in four domains – intimacy, social pleasure/fun, sexual enhancement, and power – and have been found to impact relationship satisfaction. The current study provides the first attempt to understand what contexts activate RSAE. Participants first completed a baseline assessment of RSAEs. Next, they wrote an essay in response to one of four randomly assigned prompts: drink alcohol/coffee with partner/friend. Finally, participants completed a lexical decision task in which the target words represented the four RSAE domains: intimacy, fun, sexual enhancement, and power. ANCOVA analyses revealed significant main effects of condition on intimacy RSAEs. There was also a significant two- way Sexual RSAE X Partner Cue interaction predicting reaction times to sexual target words.
