Experimental research on the development of Ceratium hirundinella O.F.Muller [Translation from: Z.Bot. 14, 337-371, 1922]

The most important aim of this study lay in filling in the great gap in our knowledge of the processes of germination in the Ceratium cyst and the early developmental stages in the standing stock of Ceratium hirundinella. contained rich cysts, we now succeeded extraordinarily well in pursuing the consistent development of Ceratium from the cyst to the completed cell. A series of experiments were carried out on the cysts and the juvenile stages of Ceratium, which showed very interesting results. The author presents in a general descriptive part the normal processes of germination in Ceratium cysts and the development of the juvenile stages in order to show in an experimental part the changes in form of C. hirundinella under the influence of temperature, light and varying salinities.

Análisis de tendencias de temperaturas extremas (mínimas y máximas diarias) y eventos extremos (olas de frío y de calor) en la Cornisa Cantábrica (1924-2014).

[ES]En este trabajo se han analizado las tendencias de las temperaturas extremas y los eventos extremos en la Cornisa Cantábrica a partir de los registros diarios de catorce observatorios de la base de datos NCDC-GSOD (1973-2014) y cuatro observatorios centenarios también situados en esta región de ECA&D (1928-2014). Para ello, se han calculado los índices climáticos desarrollados por el ETCCDMI y se ha cuantificado la significación de las tendencias mediante el test de Mann-Kendall. Se ha observado un ascenso de las temperaturas extremas y eventos extremos en la mayoría de las estaciones, siendo el aumento más acusado a lo largo de los últimos cuarenta años

Percursos do moderno e do nacional em Oswald: origens e desenvolvimentos do escritor vanguardista de 1924

O ano de 1924 torna-se significativo para Oswald de Andrade e, de um modo geral, para a história da literatura brasileira. De um lado, publicava-se o livro Memórias sentimentais de João Miramar, romance que situaria o escritor, conforme declarara seu grande aliado no propósito de atualização das artes nacionais, Mário de Andrade, no seleto grupo dos autores modernistas. Ou, de acordo com uma fortuna crítica pouco mais recente, obra que o elevaria à condição de um artista propriamente moderno, de extremada vanguarda. De outro, lançava-se o Manifesto da Poesia Pau Brasil, documento reconhecido como a primeira iniciativa mais definida de construção, no decorrer de uma fase destrutiva do primeiro tempo do modernismo, de um programa estético para o meio artístico brasileiro. Um dos seus principais pontos, como se destaca nesta tese, corresponde à discriminação de certos princípios que tornariam possível o desenvolvimento de uma poesia de exportação. Estabeleciam-se determinados preceitos que possibilitariam, além de uma valorização de elementos representativos de uma brasilidade outrora esquecidos, uma condição de as iniciativas nacionais situarem-se, por meio de diálogos, intercâmbios, em um plano igualitário de contribuições junto a um segmento vanguardista de Paris. Ambos os textos representariam um avanço tão expressivo em relação às realizações anteriores do escritor, que alguns críticos compreendem-nos como indicativos da existência de dois Oswalds: um, o de antes, predominante convencional; outro, extremamente moderno. Investigar o percurso relacionado à emergência do segundo Oswald a partir do primeiro constitui-se como o objetivo da pesquisa. Trata-se de recuperar e demarcar, criticamente, certas origens e desenvolvimentos relativos a um autor, comumente reconhecido como pouco significativo, em seus itinerários de constituição daquele que se tornou canônico na literatura brasileira. Para tanto, estabeleceu-se como corpus do desenvolvimento deste trabalho, uma produção que comporta, entre outros documentos, as suas primeiras contribuições no jornal Diário Popular, os escritos para O Pirralho, as versões iniciais e manuscritas de Memórias Sentimentais de João Miramar, a conferência pronunciada na Sorbonne, Leffort intellectuel du Brésil contemporain, e os artigos e crônicas que o escritor remete a seus amigos no Brasil e à imprensa, por ocasião de sua permanência na Europa em 1923

FIRST RECORD OF THE GEBIIDEAN GENUS AXIANASSA SCHMITT, 1924 (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: GEBIIDEA: AXIANASSIDAE) IN THE WEST PACIFIC, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES FROM THE SOUTH CHINA SEA

A new species, Axianassa sinica, from the Beibu Gulf (Gulf of Tonkin), northern South China Sea, is described and illustrated. The new species is readily distinguished from A. australis Rodrigues & Shimizu, 1992, by its acute rostrum, merus of pereopod 1 with a tooth distally on lower margin and an elongated telson.

Continuity and change in monetary policy and banking in Ireland 1922-43

The primary objective of this thesis is to examine the development of monetary policy and banking in southern Ireland from the attainment of independence in 1922 (gained through the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921) to the establishment of the Central Bank of Ireland in 1943. This research serves to challenge the overwhelming concentration on the findings of a small number of major works, most notably by Ronan Fanning, Maurice Moynihan and Cormac Ó’Gráda, in the existing historiography. This thesis is based on the research hypothesis that there were two key factors impacting on the development of monetary and banking institutions in Ireland in the 1922-1943 period. First, an exogenous institutional context, primarily Anglo-Irish in focus, in which the wider macroeconomic landscape directly influenced monetary policy and banking in Ireland. Second, an individualist context in which the development of relationships between key individuals dictated development patterns and institutional structures. This research highlights that key Irish policymakers, such as Joseph Brennan, evidenced a more flexible and realistic approach to banking and monetary affairs than is currently recognised. It also develops three further issues which have been overlooked in the existing historiography. First, a germ of monetary reform existed in Ireland from as early as the mid-1920s and was consistent in promoting alternative policies in the period to 1943. Second, this research challenges the view that the creation of the Currency Commission in 1927 and the establishment of the Central Bank of Ireland in 1943 were insignificant events given the continued stagnation in Irish monetary policy in the decades after 1943. Third, this thesis identifies that wider international trends did influence Irish monetary and banking affairs in the 1922-43 period. At both an institutional and more individual level the process of monetary institution building in Ireland was directly impacted by wider international experiences.

The Voyage of Impressionism in Three Violin Recitals: To See the World in Different Colors

Impressionism serves as the transition between romantic and modern music. This dissertation examines the varying characteristics and colors of Impressionism in the works of late-romantic French composers, French Impressionistic composers, and composers with Impressionistic influence from countries other than France. Violin Sonata in g minor, L. 140 (1917) is the last work composed by Claude Debussy. The impressionistic characters in this work includes the ambiguous yet innovative and variant sonority and form. As a work also written in 1917, Ottorino Respighi's Violin Sonata in b minor is deeply rooted in Italian Romanticism. Some of the Impressionistic characters can be found in the second movement where the harmonies are in parallel motion. César Franck, a forerunner of impressionism, heavily influenced Debussy with the use of cyclic form. The Violin Sonata in A major (1886) is rich in harmonic language. Ernest Chausson's works mark the transition between Franck and Debussy. The Poème portrays a love story, Song of Love Triumphant by Turgenev. The work is a symphonic poem for violin and orchestra. The Mythes, Op. 30 (1915) by Karol Szymanowski is based on Greek mythology. Ravel's Sonata for Violin and Cello (1922), dedicated to Debussy, points to the future with a sophisticated harmonic language extending into atonality, spare texture, and expanded palate of impressionistic colors and techniques. Ernest Bloch's Violin Sonata No. 1 (1920) portrays the feeling of torment. Beneath the soaring cries of the violin, the harmonic sonority of Impressionism are present. Gabriel Fauré's Violin Sonata No. 1 in A major, op. 13 (1876) is the earliest work of this project. The scherzo movement became a prototype for future scherzo movements for Ravel and Debussy. Ravel's Tzigane (1924), at once a paragon of French impressionism, a delightful gypsy-style dance-fantasy, and a breathtaking virtuoso piece, is the perfect conclusion to my dissertation project. The pieces discussed above were presented in three recitals. Compact disc recordings of these recitals are available in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland.
