This survey was undertaken to investigate the invertebrate bottom fauna of the river and to assess the condition of the river with regard to pollution. It describes the environmental conditions of the River Dart and the biological sampling method used, plus a brief conclusion of the survey. It also contains tables with the different species present and abundance on each sampling stations.

Companheiros, camaradas e amigos: memórias de ex- militantes políticos e a formação do Partido da Ilha das Flores (1968-1973)

A presente dissertação busca analisar as memórias do grupo de ex-militantes políticos sobre suas vivências durante o cárcere no Presídio da Ilha das Flores e o exílio no Chile. O objetivo central é contribuir para as reflexões sobre a cultura política brasileira. Assim, as vertentes historiográficas de História Política e História Cultural se fundem, proporcionando a análise d essas memórias relatadas. A utilização de fontes orais segue a metodologia de História Oral, discutindo a formação da identidade coletiva, da memória e da amizade que permeia o grupo. Além disso, são abordadas as ações dos ex-prisioneiros políticos dentro do espaço do presídio, no que se refere à sobrevivência aos maus-tratos e às denúncias. Também são analisados os momentos que precederam a partida do grupo para o exílio no Chile, proveniente da troca pelo Embaixador suíço seqüestrado em 1970. Sobre o exílio chileno, são observadas as vivências, as rupturas e redefinições relacionadas à identidade e suas representações político-culturais, as dificuldades de adaptação no espaço distinto, a consolidação do Partido da Ilha das Flores e da amizade entre os exilados, as atividades desenvolvidas no exílio chileno, contrariando a visão de que o exílio era o momento do desbunde político dos militantes, o reflexo da cultura política adquirida no cárcere pelo conjunto de militantes e a separação dos membros, em 1973, com a institucionalização do regime militar no Chile.

A UPPES e sua relação com a Ditadura Militar (1968-1978)

Este trabalho tem por objetivo explorar e mostrar de que maneira, um sindicato conhecido dentre sua categoria como conservador, agiu durante o período da ditadura militar brasileira. Para tanto, serão examinadas as fontes produzidas pela instituição e serão problematizados a partir destas leituras, algumas posições tomadas por tal sindicato no recorte entre 1968 e 1978. A história de fundação e construção de um sindicato docente num Brasil assolado por uma ditadura militar, as lutas sindicais que aconteceram no pré e durante o golpe militar, o aprofundamento no exame do comportamento colaboracionista da UPPE e a contextualização deste comportamento com a conjuntura política da época, serão pontos explorados no trabalho

Studies on cultural conditions of marine Chromatium buderi Truper and Jannasch 1968

Photosynthetic characteristics of a purple sulfur bacterium, Chromatium buderi, cultured under different ranges of pH, temperature, light intensities and ammonium chloride concentrations were examined. Maximum bacteriochlorophyll a synthesis was observed at pH 6.5 whereas the optimum growth was at pH 8.0. In general, higher temperature tended to inhibit the chlorophyll a synthesis and growth. 30°C is the optimum temperature both for chlorophyll a synthesis and growth. At 25µE mˉ²Sˉ¹ the bacteriochlorophyll a content and growth attained maximum level. The response to this low light intensity is an adaptation that ensures a high photosynthetic rate for the purple sulfur bacterium that usually occurs in dimly lit environment. Besides these, ammonium chloride at low concentration enhances both chlorophyll a synthesis and growth. Above 0.5% of it causes the nitrogen-chlorosis and also retards the growth of the bacterium. Possible chemical and structural mechanisms involved are discussed.

Retail prices of split, smoked, dried bream and dried Lake Tanganyika sardines at Lusaka markets, 1968-1970

This paper reports the results of a retail price survey at Lusaka markets on split, smoked, dried bream (Tilapia spp.) in 1968-69 and dried Lake Tanganyika sardines (Limnothrissa miodon and Stolothrissa tanangicae) in 1969-70. During the survey periods the average prices of these products maintained a level 70% to 130% higher than those fixed by the Government. Price fluctuations in relation to season, size and quality of the products were discussed. The prices were affected by season and size of the products but not by quality in terms of appearance and smell of the non-cooked products.

1968-1969 Progress Report

This report mainly summarizes the Project MAC A.I. Group work between July 1968 and June 1969 but covers some work up to February 1970. The work on computer vision is described in detail. This summary should be read in conjunction with last year's A.I. Group Report which is included at the end of this Memo.

Singing Through Struggle: Music as a Mode of Cultural Exchange in African American Border City Churches After Emancipation, 1862-1890

This project investigates how religious music, invested with symbolic and cultural meaning, provided African Americans in border city churches with a way to negotiate conflict, assert individual values, and establish a collective identity in the post- emancipation era. In order to focus on the encounter between former slaves and free Blacks, the dissertation examines black churches that received large numbers of southern migrants during and after the Civil War. Primarily a work of history, the study also employs insights and conceptual frameworks from other disciplines including anthropology and ritual studies, African American studies, aesthetic theory, and musicology. It is a work of historical reconstruction in the tradition of scholarship that some have called "lived religion." Chapter 1 introduces the dissertation topic and explains how it contributes to scholarship. Chapter 2 examines social and religious conditions African Americans faced in Baltimore, MD, Philadelphia, PA, and Washington, DC to show why the Black Church played a key role in African Americans' adjustment to post-emancipation life. Chapter 3 compares religious slave music and free black church music to identify differences and continuities between them, as well as their functions in religious settings. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 present case studies on Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church (Baltimore), Zoar Methodist Episcopal Church (Philadelphia), and St. Luke’s Protestant Episcopal Church (Washington, DC), respectively. Informed by fresh archival materials, the dissertation shows how each congregation used its musical life to uphold values like education and community, to come to terms with a shared experience, and to confront or avert authority when cultural priorities were threatened. By arguing over musical choices or performance practices, or agreeing on mutually appealing musical forms like the gospel songs of the Sunday school movement, African Americans forged lively faith communities and distinctive cultures in otherwise adverse environments. The study concludes that religious music was a crucial form of African American discourse and expression in the post-emancipation era. In the Black Church, it nurtured an atmosphere of exchange, gave structure and voice to conflict, helped create a public sphere, and upheld the values of black people.
