Schedul e of Activities ••• 62 ABSTRACT Of the many geologic probl ems associated with the continental crust, perhaps none is as significant as the origin and history of cratonic basins . There are more than 80 crato nic basins in the world. Many of these are known to have underlying rifts . The Ill inois Basin is an intracratonic basin cl osely associated with the underlying New Madrid Rift Complex. !BUD is proposed at or near thickest section of stratified rocks (7 to 8 kil ometers) in the Illinois Basin . The hol e wil l be designed to test the hypothesis that the Illinois Basin is genetically rel ated to the underlying rift system. Data from the hole wil l hel p resolve one of the great mysteries of geoscience, the origin of cratonic basins . Dril ling of the !BUD was recommended at a workshop of more than 120 earth scientists, hel d in Champaign, Illinois, in April 1986 . The working groups of the wor kshop unanimousl y sel ected a 10,000- square-kil ometer area centered near the town of Sal ine Mines in southeasternmost Gall atin County, extreme southeastern Illinois, as the prime area for the !BUD location; the area is cal led the "Hub site" because it overl ies the Reelfoot Rift, the Rough Creek Graben and the two postul ated arms of the New Madrid rift compl ex. The workshop determined that more geophysical data are essential to define the precise dril lsite for !BUD . In response, this site definition proposal provides a precise program of geophysical and geological studies for !BUD site definition. Site definition wil l ta ke pl ace in three phases . Phase I involves regional gravity, magnetic, refraction seismic, deep and intermediate depth refl ection seismic, and magnetotel l uric surveys in and around the Hub site . These surveys wil l refine our knowl edge of regional geol ogy at depth and wil l focus site sel ection on a smaller area . In Phase II, detail ed surveys, mainly high-resolution seismic profil es, wil l be made in the small area chosen in Phase I. From the data obtained in Phase II a precise dril l site for the !BUD wil l be sel ected . Phase III incl udes intergration of results and a Site Selection Workshop to recommend the !BUD site . The site sel ection program is expected to require about 2 1/2 years and to cost approximately $3.8 mil lion . Costs are preliminary and subject to further negotiation, in part, because geophysical contract prices can not be held to cost estimates if the economics of the oil and gas industry improve and because determination of indirect costs is dependent upon the source of funds and the timing of appropriations . INTRODUCTION The Scienti fi c Probl em and the Role of Ultradeep Drilling Despite more than 140 years of intensive study based on shal low expl oration for oi l, gas, and mi neral s, the history of the Illinois Basi n-­ particularly the ea rly hi story--is poorly known because deep drilling and core samples are ra re and the lower 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) of layered rocks are undri lled. Of al l the geol ogi c probl ems of the continental crust, probably no single problem is as significant or has as many rami fi cati ons as the ori gi n and history of intracratoni c basins such as the Illinoi s Basin. The answer to this problem remai ns el usi ve (Sl eep et al ., 1980 ; Qui nlan and Beaumont , 1984 ; Sloss, 1986) . There are more than 80 cratonic basins in the world. Many of these are underl ain by ri fts (Bally and Snel son, 1980; Kl emme, 1980; and St. John, Bal ly and Kl emme , 1984) . Geol ogi c and geophysical evi dence (Lidiak, 1982 ; DeRito et al ., 1983 ; Kel ler et al ., 1983) suggests that many , if not al l, intracratoni c basins are underlai n by ri fts. Such is the case of the Illinoi s Basin (Braile et al ., 1986) . Therefore , it is proposed that a 9 ki l ometer (30,000 foot) ultradeep hole be dri lled at or nea r the deepest part of the Illinoi s Basin to expl ore the rel at ionship between this intracratonic basin and the associated , underlyi ng ri ft.

The tendency is sustained rather than challenged by the ubiquity of digital technology. 2 Ontotopology Experience is not an event 'in' the mind, separate from the environment. Rather the mind emerges from the interaction with the environment. Consequently, by modulating perception one can already modulate subsequent action. This antecedent level of potentialisation is proto-epistemological and already ontological in that it concerns change in the body's degree of enablement in and towards its environment.

Yet, the observational record for these bodies is both scarcer and sparser with respect to the Earth's. It is restricted to a limited number of samples and a variety of remote-sensing measurements of billions-of-years-old surfaces whose actual age is difficult to determine precisely. Combining these observations into a coherent picture of the thermal and convective evolution of the planetary interior represents thus a major challenge. In this chapter, we review key processes and (mostly geophysical) observational constraints that can be used to infer the global characteristics of mantle convection and thermal evolution of the interior of Mercury, the Moon and Mars, the three major terrestrial bodies where a stagnant lid has likely been present throughout most of their history.

  • Optical Innovator Jon Weiss Uses Soda-Straw-Like Tubes to Solve Three
    Bombs, budgets, and biology: Sandia’s Robinson, Woodard share their thoughts on the state of the Labs as 2005 begins It had been more than 18 months since the Lab News last sat down for our “annual” State of the Labs interview with Sandia President and Laboratory Director C. Paul Robinson and Executive VP and Deputy Director Joan Woodard. So there was a lot of ground to cover. In this interview they talk about a host of external and internal issues that affect Sandia and Sandians: budget matters, future possible funding squeezes, bunker-busting bombs, controlling prolifera- tion of nuclear weapons, Iraq, the Labs’ outstanding technical work, its new thrusts in biology, thoughts on our mission and identity, fighting bureaucratic processes, the security management turn-around, safety problems, recruiting, the contractor workforce, the gate delays, and Sandia’s outstanding people. Ken Frazier and Bill Murphy of the Lab News staff conducted the interview. Lab News: On the budget, what are your thoughts on the recently passed appropriations bill for fiscal year 2005, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill, for our DOE funding? It seems to have been kind to Sandia and the national labs. Joan: One very positive thing going on is the MESA [Microsystems and Engineering Sci- ences Applications complex] funding. I’m very pleased to see that come through. That project has been conducted so well by our team that we’ve been able to manage under the budget, not eating into the contingency. So with the new appropriations that came through for this year, we are very, very close to being able to complete MESA successfully.

  • Exhibitions in Postwar Rotterdam and Hamburg, 1946-1973
    Life in the Midst of Superlatives: Exhibitions in Postwar Rotterdam and Hamburg, 1946-1973 by Ruud Huyskamp A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Ruud Huyskamp 2017 Life in the Midst of Superlatives: Exhibitions in Postwar Rotterdam and Hamburg, 1946-1973 Ruud Huyskamp Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2017 Abstract: Between 1946 and 1973 political authorities in the cities of Rotterdam and Hamburg, often in partnership with local business communities, organized and hosted no less than seven major national or international exhibitions, as well as a significant number of smaller events, activities, and expositions. This dissertation explores the context, purpose, and cultural significance of these exhibitions in order to reveal insight into the postwar period. In addition to encouraging tourism and increasing trade, the exhibitions promoted the host city’s recovery. Specifically, they highlighted progress that had been made since 1945 and casted a favourable light on the business and political elites under whose auspices these successes had been achieved. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of postwar development and reconstruction in western Europe. I argue that the exhibitions provided a framework through which the material and immaterial aspects of postwar recovery were presented to the outside world. They were the stage upon which the process of recovery was performed and imbued with meaning. An investigation of these exhibitions in two cities and over a period of thirty years shows that postwar understandings of “recovery” were not static, but instead shifted and were interpreted differently at different times.

Theater Topics richt zich daarbij in de eerste plaats op onderzoek dat plaatsvindt binnen de Nederlands/Vlaamse context. Theater Topics is een initiatief van de leerstoelgroep Theaterwetenschap van de Univer- siteit van Amsterdam, de afdeling Kunsten, Cultuur en Media van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, de opleiding Theater, Film en TV-wetenschap van de Universiteit Utrecht en het Theater Instituut Nederland en wordt uitgegeven door Amsterdam University Press.
