The Relationship Of The Merchant Marine To National Power, George D. Synon Feb 2019

The Relationship Of The Merchant Marine To National Power, George D. Synon

Naval War College Review

In considering the relation of the Merchant Marine to na­tional power, it is perhaps automatic for members of the Armed Forces to regard a large fleet of commercial shipping as indis­pensible to the security of the United States.

The Foundations Of Future Navy Planning, Robert B. Carney Feb 2019

The Foundations Of Future Navy Planning, Robert B. Carney

Naval War College Review

Much has been written about planning, and there is good machinery now in existence at all levels for its accomplishment. Workable formats, techniques, procedures, and organizations for planning have evolved under the pressures of war and in the at­mosphere of joint effort.

Temporary Appropriation Of Public Space As An Emergence Assemblage For The Future Urban Landscape: The Case Of Mexico City, Jose Antonio Lara-Hernandez, Alessandro Melis, Steffen Lehmann Feb 2019

Temporary Appropriation Of Public Space As An Emergence Assemblage For The Future Urban Landscape: The Case Of Mexico City, Jose Antonio Lara-Hernandez, Alessandro Melis, Steffen Lehmann

Architecture Faculty Research

Temporary appropriation (TA) is a re-emerging concept which occurs in the urban social landscape as a multidimensional phenomenon. Intended as multi-disciplinary and multi-scalar research, the present paper explores the way in which temporary appropriation could be interpreted as an assemblage product of other assemblages within the urban landscape. It, therefore, seeks to unravel and to re-think the nature of temporary appropriation through interconnected theoretical frameworks such as assemblage theory. Derived from the seminal work of Deleuze and Guattari (1989) and developed further by Manuel DeLanda (2016), assemblage theory focuses on the relations produced by the components of a whole rather …


Retrieval Of Phytoplankton Pigments From Underway Spectrophotometry In The Fram Strait, Yangyang Liu, Emmanuel Boss, Alison Chase, Hongyan Xi, Xiaodong Zhang, Rüdiger Röttgers, Yanqun Pan, Astrid Bracher Feb 2019

Retrieval Of Phytoplankton Pigments From Underway Spectrophotometry In The Fram Strait, Yangyang Liu, Emmanuel Boss, Alison Chase, Hongyan Xi, Xiaodong Zhang, Rüdiger Röttgers, Yanqun Pan, Astrid Bracher

Faculty Publications

Phytoplankton in the ocean are extremely diverse. The abundance of various intracellular pigments are often used to study phytoplankton physiology and ecology, and identify and quantify different phytoplankton groups. In this study, phytoplankton absorption spectra (αph(λ)) derived from underway flow-through AC-S measurements in the Fram Strait are combined with phytoplankton pigment measurements analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to evaluate the retrieval of various pigment concentrations at high spatial resolution. The performances of two approaches, Gaussian decomposition and the matrix inversion technique are investigated and compared. Our study is the first to apply the matrix inversion …

Cultural Transmission Modes Of Music Sampling Traditions Remain Stable Despite Delocalization In The Digital Age, Mason Youngblood Feb 2019

Cultural Transmission Modes Of Music Sampling Traditions Remain Stable Despite Delocalization In The Digital Age, Mason Youngblood

Publications and Research

Music sampling is a common practice among hip-hop and electronic producers that has played a critical role in the development of particular subgenres. Artists preferentially sample drum breaks, and previous studies have suggested that these may be culturally transmitted. With the advent of digital sampling technologies and social media the modes of cultural transmission may have shifted, and music communities may have become decoupled from geography. The aim of the current study was to determine whether drum breaks are culturally transmitted through musical collaboration networks, and to identify the factors driving the evolution of these networks. Using network-based diffusion analysis …


Blood Parasites Infecting The Hoatzin (Opisthocomus Hoazin), A Unique Neotropical Folivorous Bird, M. Andreína Pacheco, M. Alexandra García-Amado, Jaime Manzano, Nubia E. Matta, Ananias A. Escalante Feb 2019

Blood Parasites Infecting The Hoatzin (Opisthocomus Hoazin), A Unique Neotropical Folivorous Bird, M. Andreína Pacheco, M. Alexandra García-Amado, Jaime Manzano, Nubia E. Matta, Ananias A. Escalante

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

The Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) is the only extant member of the order Opisthocomiformes. This unique South American bird lives in the riparian lowland vegetation characteristic of the Amazon and Orinoco basins. Hoatzins nest in communal social units close to water bodies; they are strictly folivores being the only bird with pregastric fermentation in the crop. Because of the complex logistics involved in capturing this bird, there is a knowledge gap on its parasites. This study documents two distant lineages of haemosporidian parasites (Plasmodium spp.) in a juvenile and two adults sampled in the Cojedes state, Venezuela. Although …

Turkey, Walter L. Wright Jr. Feb 2019

Turkey, Walter L. Wright Jr.

Naval War College Review

The country, Turkey, with which I'm dealing this morning is by present day count a small country. It has approximately the same area as the two American states of California and Montana. The area is about two hundred and ninety four thousand square miles, and those two states are a little bit larger than that. It has very much the same topography.

Economic Warfare - The Defense, Charles Cortez Abbott Feb 2019

Economic Warfare - The Defense, Charles Cortez Abbott

Naval War College Review

My subject this morning is Economic Warfare-The De­fense. In particular I shall address myself to problems concern­ing the defense of the United States and her allies-actual or po­tential-in the present "cold war" and in the event hostilities break out between this country and Russia.


Sea Power Is World Power, George H. Miller Feb 2019

Sea Power Is World Power, George H. Miller

Naval War College Review

Situated between two great oceans, the United States is unmistakably a maritime power. Our forefathers, who crossed the seas to found our na­tion, were seafaring people. They derived their living from the sea, and it is because of the sea that our nation grew and pros­pered. The seas have given us security and economic stability, and these two elements are wholly related, one to the other.

The Near East, Hans Kohn

Naval War College Review

As you know from my lecture on Russia, I am convinced that we cannot approach any problem today except by seeing it in its historical perspective. It was exactly one hundred fifty years ago that the Near or Middle Eastern question was opened up for Western Europe.

Economic Warfare - The Attack, Charles Cortez Abbott

Naval War College Review

In order to place economic warfare in some perspective, it may serve a useful purpose at this point to make a number of ob­servations regarding it. Economic warfare of course is not a new development. It is probably as old as warfare itself.

The Holistic Power Of Young Adult Books, Donna Lynn Miller Feb 2019

The Holistic Power Of Young Adult Books, Donna Lynn Miller

The Montana English Journal

Young adult books like The Art of Starving by Sam J. Miller carry a healing power when readers experience their pause and ponder moments. Because they impose reflection time, Pause and Ponder Moments reinforce reading as a deliberate and patient process. Imposing time to pause and think through points and concepts enables readers to truly grapple with content in meaningful ways. Pause and Ponder Moments also inspire attributional retraining and option awareness, an alternative to simply accepting the status quo. These moments carry promise for enriching how we read the world, how we respond to others, and how we live …
