Contractor will be required to submit three (3) hard copies and one (1) electronic copy (in AutoCAD or scaled PDF image) of all conformance surveys for the project. The Contractor shall ensure that all survey data is completed with the supervision of a licensed surveyor. The District Representative shall provide a written response within two (2) working days of receipt of said drawings and identify any areas out of tolerance. 1.04 QUALITY CONTROL AND REWORK A. Any portion of the survey that does not conform to the grading tolerance 01 07 00 - 1 CONFORMANCE SURVEYING requirements identified in this specification section will be corrected by the Contractor. Areas out of conformance will be resurveyed at the Contractor’s sole expense (following the identical procedure stated above) by the Surveyor, and these revised points shall be added to the original digital file for resubmittal, review and acceptance by the District Representative. B. All delays and costs incurred due to grades out of conformance are the sole responsibility of the Contractor. At any point during construction following acceptance of any portion of the survey by the District, the District reserves the right to recheck the surface grades (at no cost to the Contractor) to verify it is still in conformance. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to protect the grading and compaction tolerances of the surveyed surface after conformance surveying operations are complete and accepted, and prior to installation of any subsequent materials. Any work identified by the survey that is outside of the acceptable tolerances shall be corrected by the Contractor at its sole expense. PART 2 - PRODUCTS - Not Applicable PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 LAYING OUT THE WORK A. Contractor shall employ a Registered Civil Engineer or Licensed Land Surveyor (hereafter referred to as Surveyor) to perform any conformance surveying work required by the Contractor. B. Prior to beginning work, Contractor shall secure the electronic grading plan from the District for use by the Surveyor. The surveyor shall provide all conformance survey drawings. The drawings shall provide both the design elevations and the as-constructed spot elevations. These elevations shall be for comparison to those on the contract documents for the same location. Contractor shall also show the difference in these two numbers. In addition, unique reference numbers shall be assigned to each point for reference purposes. For spacing requirements, refer to specific type of improvement identified in this specification section. C. Accuracy of all surveys provided in this section shall be to 0.01 feet. 3.02 TRACK TOLERANCES AND CONFORMANCE SURVEYING REQUIREMENTS A. PRE-TRACK PAVING AND SURFACING: Prior to the pouring of all track curbing, Contractor shall be responsible for verifying the proper horizontal and vertical controls of all concrete formwork. This quality control process 01 07 00 - 2 CONFORMANCE SURVEYING does not need to be completed by a licensed surveyor. However, the Contractor shall employ a licensed surveyor to determine finish surface grades of all track curbing upon completion of initial concrete curing process. The curb elevations shall be provided on a minimum 20-foot spacing, including points at all beginning, mid-, and end points of curve, as well as all changes in direction (i.e. at the end of the chutes). Once the curbing is deemed to be within the tolerances required by the contract documents (no point along the curbing shall be greater than ¼ inch (0.02 feet) outside the design grades and no spot shall deviate more than ½” (0.04 ft.) from any other adjacent point within the 20-foot spaced curb survey), then the Contractor shall pave the track area with asphaltic paving. Upon completion of the asphalt paving, Contractor shall survey the track area utilizing all previous conformance survey data. The pre- track paving conformance survey shall be completed on a 20-foot longitudinal grid, with grades shot across the track (within the asphalt paving) in a minimum of 2 locations, at a distance of 10 feet and 20 feet from the center of the inside track curb. Grades shall include the curb grades inside and outside. Grades must be measured so that no point within the 20-foot grid deviates more than ¼” from any other point within the 20-foot grid. The track asphalt paving shall also undergo a flood test to inspect for birdbaths and low points that may not be identified by the conformance survey. B. POST-TRACK SURFACING: Once the track surfacing is complete, finish surface grades shall be verified on a 20-foot grid using laser operation survey equipment. Grades at each point within the 20-foot grid must not deviate more than ¼” from any other point within the 20-foot grid. The finished track surface shall also undergo a flood test to inspect for birdbaths and low points that may not be identified by the conformance survey.

  • Kitsch, Irony, and Consumerism: a Semiotic Analysis of Diesel Advertising 2000–2008
    AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR Kitsch, irony, and consumerism: A semiotic analysis of Diesel advertising 2000–2008 CHRIS ARNING Abstract Diesel advertising poses a conundrum for semiotics practitioners. Diesel ads are thought-provoking and seem to interrogate prevailing social mores as well as impugning fashion and consumerism. Each season’s Successful Living campaign is semiotically rich with a high connotative index. Teasing out these polysemic meanings is not a straightforward task, however. This article examines in detail six Diesel campaigns from 2000 to 2008. The ar- ticle focuses on the rhetorical devices and representational tropes that form the grounds for a Diesel approach to advertising. These include both a kitsch aesthetic and a camp sensibility. The author argues that the same brand constructs twin codes — one that positions Diesel as a scurrilous and insightful countercultural observer with key objections to our consumer- ist culture, and the other a nihilistic and ludic mischief maker that invites smart decoders into a realm of irony and textual bliss. The analysis applies a toolkit approach to semiotics that amalgamates theoretical grounding with pragmatism. Keywords: advertising; double-coding; irony; kitsch; consumerism. Advertisements are one of the most important cultural factors molding and reflecting our lives today . Advertisements are selling us something else besides consumer goods: in providing us with a structure in which we, and those goods are interchangeable, they are selling us ourselves. —Judith Williamson (1978: 11, 13) Text of pleasure: the text that contents, fills, grants euphoria; the text that comes from cul- ture and does not break with it.

  • Archaeological Geophysical Prospection in Peatland Environments
    Archaeological geophysical prospection in peatland environments Kayt Armstrong Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree ‘Doctor of Philosophy’, awarded by Bournemouth University 2010 Volume 1 of 2 This copy of this thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. Abstract Waterlogged sites in peat often preserve organic material, both in the form of artefacts and palaeoenvironmental evidence as a result of the prevailing anaerobic environment. After three decades of excavation and large scale study projects in the UK, the sub- discipline of wetland archaeology is rethinking theoretical approaches to these environments. Wetland sites are generally discovered while they are being damaged or destroyed by human activity. The survival in situ of these important sites is also threatened by drainage, agriculture, erosion and climate change as the deposits cease to be anaerobic. Sites are lost without ever being discovered as the nature of the substrate changes. A prospection tool is badly needed to address these wetland areas as conventional prospection methods such as aerial photography, field walking and remote sensing are not able to detect sites under the protective over burden. This thesis presents research undertaken between 2007 and 2010 at Bournemouth University. It aimed to examine the potential for conventional geophysical survey methods (resistivity, gradiometry, ground penetrating radar and frequency domain electromagnetic) as site prospection and landscape investigation tools in peatland environments.

  • STEREO Mission Operations
    J. E. EICHSTEDT ET AL. STEREO Mission Operations John E. Eichstedt, Daniel A. Ossing, George Chiu, Paul N. Boie, Timothy O. Krueger, Alan S. Faber, Timothy A. Coulter, Owen E. Dudley, and David A. Myers olar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) mission opera- tions team is tasked with maintaining the health of the two STEREO spacecraft, Ahead and Behind, and ensuring the flow of science data from the spacecraft to the science community. The STEREO ground system includes a STEREO data server for distribution of all of the data and products required for operation of the STEREO observatories, as well as two hardware-in-the-loop simula- tors for verification of commanding and analysis of anomalies. The STEREO ground system is uniquely divided between the two spacecraft such that communications with the two spacecraft can be simultaneous while minimizing the risk of confusion. This division has been consistent through all phases of STEREO operations: plan- ning, real-time operations, and assessment. Particular consideration was given to the Sarea of command and memory management, where differences between the two spacecraft must be maintained. Since the STEREO launch in October 2006, the mission operations team has completed the phasing orbits/early operations check- out phase of the mission, transitioned to the heliocentric orbit/prime science mission, and completed a move to automated/unattended real-time operations, all the while focusing on the science data return and maintaining the health and safety of each of the spacecraft while operating with a minimal operations team size. INTRODUCTION The Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory Delta II 7925-10L rocket on 26 October 2006 at 0052 (STEREO) spacecraft successfully launched from Cape UTC.
