Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

From the images, we identified about 21,100 stereo image Topography combinations consisting of at least three images each. We applied sparse multi-image matching to derive Hun Kal approximately 250,000 tie-points representing 50,000 ground points. We used the tie-points to carry out a DTM photogrammetric block adjustment, which improves the image pointing and the accuracy of the ground point positions in three dimensions from about 850 m to approximately 55 m.

  • Konturen 1 (2008) 1 Eruptions of the Ethical Baroque Steven Shankman
    Konturen 1 (2008) 1 Eruptions of the Ethical Baroque Steven Shankman University of Oregon Renaissance perspective constructs objective reality from the viewpoint of a sovereign subject. The border protecting the sovereignty of this subject is sometimes crossed, in the Baroque, by means of the subject’s sudden awareness of the humanity of the other person and of our inescapable responsibility for that unique and irreplaceable other. With examples from music, painting, and literature, I discuss what I call “eruptions of the ethical Baroque.” These eruptions trouble the serenity of the arts and haunt us: one such eruption reveals, to the Christian warrior- crusader Tancredi, the face of the apparently Muslim female warrior Clorinda, in Monteverdi’s Combattimento (1624); another reveals, to Abraham—in Rembrandt’s 1635 painting of “The Sacrifice of Isaac”— the face of his son Isaac and then suddenly interrupts what appeared to have been an imminent murder; another forces us to encounter, in Shakespeare’s disruptively sober prose, Shylock’s Jewish eyes; yet another, in Paul Celan’s arguably modern Baroque poem Tenebrae, interrupts—but too late, tragically—the profoundly enchanting pathos of François Couperin’s high Baroque choral masterpiece, Leçons de ténèbres, which inspired Celan’s poem. What, exactly, is the Baroque? Modern theorists—such as Gilles Deleuze, with his notion of the fold—have discussed its significance and pondered the question of whether or not there is such a phenomenon as the Baroque.1 The word Baroque was not used by any of the artists and thinkers of the historical period—the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries in Europe—sometimes referred to by this term.

  • A Half-Closed Book
    A HALF-CLOSED BOOK Compiled by J. L. Herrera TO THE MEMORY OF: Mary Brice AND WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO: Madge Portwin, Margaret Clarke, Isla MacGregor, Bob Clark, Betty Cameron, Ken Herrera, Cheryl Perriman, and sundry libraries, op-shops, and book exchanges INTRODUCTION Just one more ramble through unexpected byways and surprising twists and turns … yes, I think everyone is allowed to go out with neither bang nor whimper but with her eyes glued to the page … Poor dear, people can say, she didn’t see that bus coming … The difficulty of course is where to store everything; and finding room in my mind is sometimes as tricky as finding room in my bedroom. But was it a good idea to do a short writer’s calendar? A year instead of my usual three years. I had mixed feelings about it. It was nice to see a book take shape so (relatively) swiftly. But I also felt the bits and pieces hadn’t had time to marinate fully. That sense of organic development had been hurried. I also found I tended to run with the simpler stories rather than the ones that needed some research—and some luck, some serendipity. On the other hand, how long a soaking constitutes a decent marinade? Not being a good cook I always find that hard to decide … So this will be a book without a deadline. One which can just wander along in spare moments. Its date will have to wait. Even so, I hope that anyone who happens to read it some day will enjoy it as much as I always enjoy the compiling of books on writing and reading.
