No / Considerable debate persists concerning the origins of those involved in the adventus Saxonum: the arrival of Germanic peoples in Britain during the fifth century AD. This question was investigated using oxygen and strontium isotope ratios obtained from archaeological dental samples from individuals in the ¿Migration Period¿ cemetery, Ringlemere, Kent (n = 7) and three continental European sites (n = 17). Results demonstrated that strontium alone is unable to distinguish between individuals from south-eastern England and north-western Europe. Although 87Sr/86Sr values from Ringlemere fell within local biosphere parameters and suggest a spatially and temporally related group, ¿18O values were inconsistent with origins in eastern England or on the North German plain. Results from the European sites negate past climate change as an explanation. It is possible that culturally mediated behaviour has obscured geographical relationships. Further work to characterize water sources and human ¿18O values in the putative European homelands is required. / NERC

Die Zeitschrift Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) wurde in den früheren 1990er Jahren als eines der ersten Open Access Journale in Mathematik gegründet. Herausgegeben wird die Zeitschrift vom Institute of Computational Mathematics an der Kent State University (Ohio, USA) in Zusammenarbeit mit der dortigen Universitätsbibliothek. Abweichend vom üblichen Modell über Article Processing Charges finanziert sich die Zeitschrift ausschließlich durch die Kent State University sowie gelegentliche freiwillige Beiträge von Autoren. Heute ist ETNA ein sehr erfolgreiches Journal in der angewandten Mathematik, das zeigt, dass auch nicht-kommerzielle Open Access Angebote qualitativ hochwertig funktionieren können.

Assim, a presente dissertação busca pontuar e analisar todas as implicações que antecedem sua viagem de nove dias ao Brasil, como observador político, bem como abrange todos os fatos decorrentes de sua estada, os quais englobam a redação de seu relatório "Brazil and Vargas", além do início de sua amizade com Candido Portinari; a dissertação igualmente privilegia as conseqüências da viagem de Rockwell Kent ao Brasil, sempre partindo da análise dos documentos obtidos junto ao Smithsonian Institution, em Washington e ao Projeto Portinari, no Rio de Janeiro. Desse modo, tem-se um amplo campo de trabalho no qual é possível perceber as implicações de sua viagem dentro de um espectro mais amplo, envolvendo Brasil e Estados Unidos dentro do panorama intelectual, econômico, político e cultural de 1937 a 1955. / Abstract: Rockwell Kent's trip to Brazil in November, 1937, raises a series of new issues both in Brazil and the United States. Thus, this thesis aims at pointing out and analyzing all the implications preceding his nine-day trip to Brazil, as a political observer; besides, it also includes all the facts stemming from his stay, such as the making of his "Brazil and Vargas" report and the beginning of his friendship with Candido Portinari. Furthermore, this thesis studies the consequences of Rockwell Kent's trip to Brazil, based on the analysis of the documents obtained from the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington D.C, and the Portinari Project, in Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, this thesis presents a huge field of study in which it is possible to perceive the implications of such a trip within a larger scope, involving Brazil and the United States in the intellectual, economic, political and cultural panorama from 1937 to 1955. / Mestrado / Historia da Arte / Mestre em História da Arte
