A High‐Resolution Atmospheric Dust Record For 1810–2004 A.D. Derived From An Ice Core In Eastern Tien Shan, Central Asia, Wangbin Zhang, Shugui Hou, Yaping Liu, Shuang-Ye Wu, Wenling An, Hongxi Pang, Chaomin Wang Jul 2017

A High‐Resolution Atmospheric Dust Record For 1810–2004 A.D. Derived From An Ice Core In Eastern Tien Shan, Central Asia, Wangbin Zhang, Shugui Hou, Yaping Liu, Shuang-Ye Wu, Wenling An, Hongxi Pang, Chaomin Wang

Department of Earth, Environment and Sustainability Faculty Publications

Centennial‐scale, high‐resolution records of atmospheric dust conditions are rare in the arid and semiarid regions of central Asia, limiting our understanding of the regional climate and environmental changes and their potential driving forces. In this paper, we present an annually resolved atmospheric dust record covering the period of 1810–2004 A.D., reconstructed from an ice core retrieved at 4512 m above sea level from the Miaoergou Glacier in the eastern Tien Shan. The time series of dust flux for the past 195 years shows three periods of relatively low values (i.e., 1810–1829 A.D., 1863–1940 A.D., and 1979–2004 A.D.) and two periods …


Mechanisms In Ecology, Viorel Pâslaru Jul 2017

Mechanisms In Ecology, Viorel Pâslaru

Books and Book Chapters by University of Dayton Faculty

New mechanistic philosophy has not examined explanations in ecology although they are based extensively on describing mechanisms responsible for phenomena under scrutiny. This chapter uses the example of research on the shrub Lonicera maackii (Amur honeysuckle) to scrutinize individual-level mechanisms that are generally accepted and used in ecology and confronts them with the minimal account of mechanisms. Individual-level mechanisms are for a phenomenon, are hierarchical, and absent entities play a role in their functioning. They are distinguished by the role played by properties in determining activities and organization. The chapter also considers the experimental methods for discovery of individual-level mechanisms, …

Topology And Order, Tom Richmond Jun 2017

Topology And Order, Tom Richmond

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

We will discuss topologies as orders, orders on sets of topologies, and topologies on ordered sets. More specifically, we will discuss Alexandroff topologies as quasiorders, the lattice of topologies on a finite set, and partially ordered topological spaces. Some topological properties of Alexandroff spaces are characterized in terms of their order. Complementation in the lattice of topologies on a set and in the lattice of convex topologies on a partially ordered set will be discussed.

Our Lady Of The Blessed Sacrament: Theological Foundations And Historical Development, Richard May May 2017

Our Lady Of The Blessed Sacrament: Theological Foundations And Historical Development, Richard May

Marian Studies

This article traces the historical development and theological foundations for the title, “Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament.” It examines the reasons for the title rooted in St. Augustine’s recognition that "Jesus took his Flesh from the flesh of Mary.” Tracing the connection between the Virgin Mary and the Eucharist through the Patristic era, the Middle Ages, and more recent centuries, various works of art are noted as well the insights of spiritual writers. In particular, the contributions of St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811–1868) are highlighted along with those of Pope St. John Paul II. The article not only examines …


Peter Julian Eymard, Saint Of The Eucharist And Our Lady Of The Most Blessed Sacrament, Dwight P. Campbell May 2017

Peter Julian Eymard, Saint Of The Eucharist And Our Lady Of The Most Blessed Sacrament, Dwight P. Campbell

Marian Studies

St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868) founded the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856 and is known as the “Saint of the Eucharist” (a title confirmed by Pope St. John XXIII in his canonization homily, Dec. 9, 1962). He explored many aspects of the great mystery of the Holy Eucharist in the conferences he delivered to his fellow religious over the years. These conferences have been published in nine separate volumes under different titles. One of the volumes—entitled “Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament: Readings for the Month of May”— consists of thirty-one conferences, one for each day of …


Confirmation In The Spirit By Conformation To Mary: The Gifts Of The Spirit In Mariological Perspective, Jacob Phillips May 2017

Confirmation In The Spirit By Conformation To Mary: The Gifts Of The Spirit In Mariological Perspective, Jacob Phillips

Marian Studies

This article investigates a Mariological interpretation of the sacrament of confirmation, exploring the figure of Mary as a model recipient of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, with broader implications for understanding the interrelation of nature and grace. It draws upon a strand of patristic Mariology that relates Christian initiation to conformation with Mary. Such passages are found in Origen, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa, who all speak of the souls of the faithful being conformed to Mary. As Mary received the Word of God in her womb, so Christ is formed more deeply in the soul of …


“Tota Pulchra Es”: Mary, The Song Of Songs, And The Sacraments, Ann W. Astell May 2017

“Tota Pulchra Es”: Mary, The Song Of Songs, And The Sacraments, Ann W. Astell

Marian Studies

In a pair of articles published in 1951 in Orate Fratres, Jean Daniélou, S.J., demonstrated that the Fathers of the Church interpreted the Song of Songs as a prophecy of the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. This interpretation fostered continuity between the Jewish liturgy, which features the Song of Songs in the observance of Passover and Sabbath, on the one hand, and Christian ritual, which gives a place of honor to the sacraments of initiation in the Easter vigil, on the other. This article traces the application of the Song of Songs to the sacraments of initiation in …


The Immaculate Conception: Gift And Sign For The Neophyte, Danielle M. Peters May 2017

The Immaculate Conception: Gift And Sign For The Neophyte, Danielle M. Peters

Marian Studies

Mary's indispensable participation in the historical event of the Incarnation which we profess in our baptismal belief, leads us to reflect on her participation in the sacramental event of the rebirth of her spiritual children. The PAMI Document “The Mother of the Lord: Memory, Presence, Hope” (art. 47; cf. USCCB, Behold your Mother, 55) points out that in the light of Ephesians 1:3-5 “baptism, the immersion into the Paschal mystery of Christ, (cf. Rm 6:3-5) corresponds sacramentally to Mary’s Immaculate Conception.” This article explores the Immaculate Conception as “a forceful sign of God’s grace operative within a creature” (art. 48) …


Our Lady’S Presence In The Mass In The Teaching Of Pope John Paul Ii, Arthur Burton Calkins May 2017

Our Lady’S Presence In The Mass In The Teaching Of Pope John Paul Ii, Arthur Burton Calkins

Marian Studies

This article builds on research I have already done and published in the Homiletic & Pastoral Review, in Mary at the Foot of the Cross, Vol. 6, and in Antiphon (2006). These studies were progressive so that each one developed the topic with more documentation. This article summarizes and synthesizes these studies in terms of the principles abstracted from the Pope John Paul II’s teaching and strive to find points of comparison in the works of theologians and mystics.

What Teaching Kindergarten Taught Me, Nancy Malcolm May 2017

What Teaching Kindergarten Taught Me, Nancy Malcolm

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

My teaching career spanned 17 years - 10 years teaching high school and seven years teaching kindergarten. The chasm is not as deep or wide between the two as you might think, because a 5-year-old and a 15-year-old have similar behaviors and thought processes.
