SUMMARY 011000 - 1 PINAL COUNTY BWS 1713.000 ORACLE MAINTENANCE FACILITY DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS B. Specification Content: The Specifications use certain conventions for the style of language and the intended meaning of certain terms, words, and phrases when used in particular situations. These conventions are as follows: 1. Abbreviated Language: Language used in the Specifications and other Contract Documents may be abbreviated. Words and meanings shall be interpreted as appropriate. Words implied, but not stated, shall be inferred as the sense requires. Singular words shall be interpreted as plural, and plural words shall be interpreted as singular where applicable as the context of the Contract Documents indicates. 2. Imperative mood and streamlined language are generally used in the Specifications. Requirements expressed in the imperative mood are to be performed by Contractor. Occasionally, the indicative or subjunctive mood may be used in the Section Text for clarity to describe responsibilities that must be fulfilled indirectly by Contractor or by others when so noted. a. The words "shall," "shall be," or "shall comply with," depending on the context, are implied where a colon (:) is used within a sentence or phrase. 1.5 LAYING OUT OF THE WORK: Prior to commencing work, the Contractor shall carefully compare and check all drawings, each with the other, that in any way affect the locations or elevation of the work to be executed by him, and should any discrepancy be found, he shall immediately report the same to the Architect for verifications and adjustments. Any duplication of work made necessary by failure or neglect on the Contractor's part to comply with this provision shall be done at his sole expense. A. The drawings accompanying these specifications indicate generally the design and arrangement of all apparatus, fixtures, accessories, etc., necessary to complete the work required. The exact location or arrangement of equipment is subject to minor changes necessitated by field conditions and shall be made as required without additional cost to the Owner. B. If there is a discrepancy between documents, the most stringent requirements shall be assumed to apply to the work. C. Surveys, Benchmarks, Lines and Levels: Working from data established by his property survey, Contractor shall establish and maintain benchmarks and other dependable markers and set lines and levels for the work on site as needed to properly locate each element of entire project. Contractor shall calculate and measure required dimensions as shown (within recognized tolerances). Contractor shall not scale drawings to determine dimensions. Contractor shall advise tradesmen performing the work of marked lines and levels provided for their use in layout of work. D. EXISTING CONDITIONS: 1.

  • 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.
