During U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public hearings held in 1973, 1974 and 1975 prior to Texas Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas lease sales, concern was expressed by the National Marine Fisheries Service, scientists from Texas A&M and the University of Texas and private citizens over the possible environmental impact of oil and gas drilling and production operations on coral reefs and fishing banks in or adjacent to lease blocks to be sold. As a result, certain restrictive regulations concerning drilling operations in the vicinity of the well documented coral reefs and biostromal communities at the East and West Flower Gardens were established by BLM, and Signal Oil Company was required to provide a biological and geological baseline study of the less well known Stetson Bank before a drilling permit could be issued. Considering the almost total lack of knowledge of the geology and biotic communities associated with the South Texas OCS banks lying in or near lease blocks to be offered for sale in 1975, BLM contracted with Texas A&M University to provide the biological and geological baseline information required to facilitate judgments as to the extent and nature of restrictive regulations on drilling near these banks which might be required to insure their protection. In pursuit of this, scientists from Texas A&M University were to direct their attention toward assessments of ground fish populations, unique biological and geological features, substratum type and distribution, and the biotic and geologic relationships between these banks and those farther north.

Análisis de la tragedia legendaria en tres actos publicada en 1962 por el dramaturgo francés Jean Geschwin, en la que, a partir de una original recreación del mito de Progne y Filomela, se expresa la preocupación y el desasosiego provocados por las dos décadas de sangrientos conflictos bélicos casi ininterrumpidos que estaban desgarrando a Francia.

In the north Atlantic subtropical gyre, the oceanic vertical structure of density is characterized by a region of rapid increase with depth. This layer is called the permanent pycnocline. The permanent pycnocline is found below a surface mode water ,which are ventilated every winter when penetrated locally by the mixed layer. Assessing the structure and variability of the permanent pycnocline is of a major interest in the understanding of the climate system because the pycnocline layer delimits important heat and anthropogenic reservoir. Moreover, the heat content structure translate into changes in the large scale stratification feature, such as the permanent pycnocline. We developed a new objective algorithm for the characterization of the large scale structure of the permanent pycnocline (OAC-P). Argo data have been used with OAC-P to provide a detailed description of the mean structure of the North-Atlantic subtropical pycnocline (e.g.: depth, thickness, temperature, salinity, density, potential vorticity). Results reveal a surprisingly complex structure with inhomogeneous properties. While the classical bowl shape of the pycnocline depth is captured, much more complex pycnocline structure emerges at the regional scale. In the southern recirculation gyre of the Gulf Stream Extension, the pycnocline is deep, thick, the maximum of stratification is found in the middle on the layer and follow an isopycnal surface. But local processes influence and modify this textbook description and the pycnocline is characterized by a vertically asymmetric structure and gradients in thermohaline properties. T/S distribution along the permanent pycnocline depth is complex and reveals a diversity of water masses resulting from mixing of different source waters. We will present the observed mean structure of the North-Atlantic subtropical permanent pycnocline and relate it to physical processes that constraint it.

Landfall considers the arbitrariness of our attachments to both people and places, while at the same time marveling at the inevitability and necessity of those attachments. The importance of place in these poems, most prominently that of southern Louisiana, is pervasive, and the insistent description of landscape becomes inextricable from an interrogation of personal and familial relationships. The power of such bonds seems to defy any satisfactory explanation, but by drawing on personal narrative as well as on the natural world, these poems begin, cautiously and in fragments, to approach and confront that power.

In 1620, over the course of 66 days, 102 passengers called the Mayflower their home before arriving and settling in Plymouth, New England. In the years following the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 nearly 7 million people traversed extreme wilderness in covered wagons to found and settle the American West. This year, 2015, the first spaceport has opened in anticipation of sub orbital space flights in 2017 and manned settlement flights to mars by 2026. This thesis explores the questions: In this next phase of human exploration and settlement, what does it mean to dwell beyond earth? What are the current architectural limitations regarding structure and material sustainability? And, How can architecture elevate the traditionally sterile environments of survival shelters to that of permanent dwellings?

Buscando-se estabelecer a dinâmica populacional da mosca-dos-chifres foi realizado o acompanhamento de dois rebanhos bovinos estabelecidos em regiões climáticas contrastantes, o que possibilitou identificar que além da temperatura e da precipitação, o número de dias de chuva apresenta influência direta na infestação sobre os animais e que sob as condições climáticas do trópico úmido, a mosca-dos-chifres tem a capacidade de produzir até cerca de 15 gerações anuais. Tais informações, associadas a realização de testes diagnósticos da resistência a pesticidas, tornam-se relevantes na elaboração de estratégias de controle para as populações da mosca-dos-chifres, uma vez que a capacidade anual da espécie em gerar descendentes no Brasil mostra-se favorável à rápida seleção de indivíduos resistentes as bases utilizadas em seu controle.

This paper investigates the nullification of homo juridicus and the vanishing of the jurist in relation to the liberal global-order project and the emergence and spread of soft-networked channels of post-national governance. By inquiring into the shift from the individual’s active will to the sterile behavioural schemes prompted by the universalisation of liberalism and economic analysis of social interactions, it will be argued that the jurist and the (rule of) law are no longer needed in a post-national system of rational and mechanic causations. Through an analysis of Susan Sontag’s and Josef Esser’s accounts for and against the interpretative task, it will be contended that the re-discovery of the anthropological and onto-sociopolitical function of the jurist depends upon the re-affirmation of: (1) the will’s oscillation between velle and nolle as constitutive of human uniqueness; (2) the need to interpret homo juridicus’s will power normativistically, and what this power leads to.

Con el proceso de globalización que se evidencia actualmente, el comercio entre países ha sido uno de los factores más relevantes a través del tiempo y Colombia no ha sido excluyente a esta situación. Es por la importancia del asunto, que la Escuela de Administración dentro de sus múltiples proyectos de investigación busca la identificación de oportunidades para PYMES colombianas en mercados extranjeros, específicamente en Estados Unidos, asumiendo los retos que trae consigo un Tratado de Libre Comercio, las implicaciones en cuanto a los procesos de intercambio (importaciones y exportaciones) en sus diversos ámbitos y el impacto que genera dicho proceso en la balanza comercial colombiana. Debido a esto, se ha propuesto el desarrollo de un trabajo de grado que analice el Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC) entre Colombia y Estados Unidos, enfocándose en los perfiles de cada mercado y las necesidades de los mismos, con el fin de identificar oportunidades generadas desde su puesta en marcha. En busca de un análisis detallado, el trabajo en mención hace énfasis en cinco estados de Estados Unidos (Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Luisiana y Maine) y los 32 departamentos de Colombia. Con el objetivo de realizar un análisis más efectivo se tomaron en cuenta las características de cada mercado y su relación comercial. A partir del previo proceso de investigación, se pretende identificar y definir oportunidades comerciales que evidencian una evolución comercial (mayor número de importaciones y exportaciones). Dichas oportunidades identificadas son el resultado de un análisis cualitativo tras desarrollar matrices de los principales diez productos más demandados por los Estados mencionados y los principales productos ofertados por los departamentos colombianos. Gracias a lo que enmarca un TLC dentro de un proceso de negociación, se proyecta identificar según las necesidades de las partes, es decir, oferta y demanda de bienes y/o 9 servicios, cada una de las oportunidades claves para los comerciantes nacionales que se involucran dentro del acuerdo aprobado.
