The MARINER's MIRROR The MARINER’S MIRROR The International Journal of the Society for Nautical Research Bibliography for 2011 Compiled by Karen Partridge London The Society for Nautical Research 2 The Mariner’s Mirror Bibliography for 2011 Introduction This, the twenty-ninth annual maritime bibliography, includes books and articles published in 2011, as well as some works published in earlier years.

  • Mammalian Diving Response
    Science Unit: Living with Oxygen Lesson 2: Oxygen Consumers – Mammalian Diving Response School Year: 2012/2013 Developed for: J.W. Sexsmith Elementary School, Vancouver School District Developed by: Sheila Thornton (scientist); Duncan Kay and Danielle Conrad (teachers) Grade level: Presented to grade 7; appropriate for grades 6 – 7 with age appropriate modifications Duration of lesson: 1 hour and 20 minutes (2 hours is preferable) Objectives 1. Reinforce the basic concepts of hypothesis-driven science. 2. Understand the body’s need for oxygen and what affects the physiology of respiration. 3. Understand the physics of pressure and how this relates to the circulatory system. 4. Learn the basic physiology of the mammalian diving response. 5. Develop and test hypotheses on the mammalian diving response in humans. Background Information The mammalian diving response is a combination of physiological reflexes that occur when an animal initiates a dive. When an animal’s face enters the water and respiration ceases, the heart rate slows down (bradycardia). Blood vessels supplying nonessential organs are constricted, redirecting blood to the oxygen-requiring brain and heart. When the heart supplies fewer organs with blood, it can beat more slowly and still maintain adequate blood pressure to the brain, the most metabolically sensitive organ. Diving bradycardia is an easily measured component of a group of reflexes that together constitute the “diving response.” This response to diving is observed in seals, penguins and whales, but also seen to a lesser degree in humans. Vocabulary Bradycardia: A slower than normal heart rate. The heart usually beats between 60 and 100 times a minute in an adult at rest.

  • Überseehafen Rostock: East Germany’S Window to the World Under Stasi Watch, 1961-1989
    Tomasz Blusiewicz Überseehafen Rostock: East Germany’s Window to the World under Stasi Watch, 1961-1989 Draft: Please do not cite Dear colleagues, Thank you for your interest in my dissertation chapter. Please see my dissertation outline to get a sense of how it is going to fit within the larger project, which also includes Poland and the Soviet Union, if you're curious. This is of course early work in progress. I apologize in advance for the chapter's messy character, sloppy editing, typos, errors, provisional footnotes, etc,. Still, I hope I've managed to reanimate my prose to an edible condition. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Tomasz I. Introduction Alexander Schalck-Golodkowski, a Stasi Oberst in besonderen Einsatz , a colonel in special capacity, passed away on June 21, 2015. He was 83 years old. Schalck -- as he was usually called by his subordinates -- spent most of the last quarter-century in an insulated Bavarian mountain retreat, his career being all over three weeks after the fall of the Wall. But his death did not pass unnoticed. All major German evening TV news services marked his death, most with a few minutes of extended commentary. The most popular one, Tagesschau , painted a picture of his life in colors appropriately dark for one of the most influential and enigmatic figures of the Honecker regime. True, Mielke or Honecker usually had the last word, yet Schalck's aura of power appears unparalleled precisely because the strings he pulled remained almost always behind the scenes. "One never saw his face at the time.

  • The Royal Institution of Naval Architects and Lloyd's Register
    The Royal Institution of Naval Architects and Lloyd’s Register Given their common roots in the UK maritime industry, it is not surprising that throughout the 150 years in which the histories of both organisations have overlapped, many members of the Institution have held important positions within Lloyd’s Register. Such connections can be traced back to 1860, when the joint Chief Surveyors, Joseph Horatio Ritchie and James Martin were two of the 18 founding members of the Institution. The Lloyd’s Register Historian, Barbara Jones, has identified others who either worked for Lloyd’s Register in some capacity, or who sat on its Committees, and had a direct connection with the Institution of Naval Architects, later to become the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

Vorbemerkung Mit dem Sturz der SED-Diktatur forderte die Demokratiebewegung in der ehemaligen DDR 1989/90 auch die Öffnung der Unterlagen des Staatssicherheitsdienstes. Das Stasi- Unterlagen-Gesetz (StUG), am 20. Dezember 1991 mit breiter Mehrheit vom Parlament des vereinten Deutschlands verabschiedet, schaffte dafür die Grundlage. Zu den Aufgaben des Bundesbeauftragten für die Unterlagen des Staatssicherheitsdienstes der ehemaligen Deutschen Demokratischen Republik gehört die »Aufarbeitung der Tätig- keit des Staatssicherheitsdienstes durch Unterrichtung der Öffentlichkeit über Struktur, Methoden und Wirkungsweise des Staatssicherheitsdienstes« (§ 37 StUG).
