Master of Music / Department of Music / Dale Ganz / Nina Simone was a prominent jazz musician of the late 1950s and 60s. Beyond her fame as a jazz musician, Nina Simone reached even greater status as a civil rights activist. Her music spoke to the hearts of hundreds of thousands in the black community who were struggling to rise above their status as a second-class citizen. Simone’s powerful anthems were a reminder that change was going to come. Nina Simone’s musical interpretation and approach was very unique because of her background as a classical pianist. Nina’s untrained vocal chops were a perfect blend of rough growl and smooth straight-tone, which provided an unquestionable feeling of heartache to the songs in her repertoire. Simone also had a knack for word painting, and the emotional climax in her songs is absolutely stunning. Nina Simone did not have a typical jazz style. Critics often described her as a “jazz-and-something-else-singer.” She moved effortlessly through genres, including gospel, blues, jazz, folk, classical, and even European classical. Probably her biggest mark, however, was on the genre of protest songs. Simone was one of the most outspoken and influential musicians throughout the civil rights movement. Her music spoke to the hundreds of thousands of African American men and women fighting for their rights during the 1960s. Although Simone is remembered for the lyrics she sang and the emotions she evoked, not enough credit is given to her as an interpreter of song. Simone had an incredible talent at finding the true message of a song and exposing it to her audience. Rather than jazz musician or activist, this thesis will focus on Simone as a gifted interpreter.

In this study, a one-dimensional model based on the Mellor and Yamada level 2.5 turbulence closure model was coupled with a biogeochemical model to investigate the inter-annual variation of biogeochemistry at the South-East Asian Time-series Study (SEATS) Site in the northern South China Sea (SCS) from 1997 to 2003. During the study period there were two El Niño Events and two La Niña Events. This study was focused on the hydrographic and biogeochemical conditions during these events. In order to better understand the model performance in the physical and biogeochemical aspects, numerical experiments were conducted to investigate the key processes. Numerical experiments by using idealized forcing conditions revealed that stronger wind stresses resulted in stronger cooling and deeper mixed layer. The model results were as sensitive to the initial density structure of the water column as to wind stress. Numerical experiments with the coupled model revealed that the biogeochemical results are insensitive to the initial biogeochemical conditions except the nitrate profile. Sensitivity tests indicated that primary production was sensitive to the remineralization rate constant for the detritus and parameters related to zooplankton, such as growth rate, grazing constant and mortality rate constant. It is less sensitive to iv aggregation constant of phytoplankton. The SEATS project of the National Center for Ocean Research provided data of sea surface chlorophyll-a (S-chl) concentrations, which were derived from SeaWiFS data for the period from Jan. 1997 to Dec. 2003 by calibrating against shipboard observations. The time-series showed decreases of mean S-chl by 35% and 9% below the climatological mean in the winter months (DJF) of the two El Niño Events. The negative S-chl anomalies corresponded to elevated sea surface temperature (SST) by 1.4oC and 0.4oC above the climatological mean, while the mean wind speed (WS) was reduced by 20% and 13%, and the surface heat exchange reverted from net loss to net gain or null. It is hypothesized that the anomalously low S-chl may have been caused by the weakened wind mixing and strengthened stratification. A 1-dimensional coupled physical-biogeochemical model was developed to test this hypothesis. The model driven by wind stress and surface heat fluxes successfully reproduced the seasonal cycles of S-chl and integrated primary productivity (IPP) as compared to shipboard observations and SeaWiFS data derived values, and predicted the negative anomalies of S-chl and IPP under the 1997-98 and 2002-03 El Niño conditions. However, the model-predicted strong positive anomalies of S-chl and IPP under the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 La Niña conditions, which brought v stronger wind and heat loss, were not substantiated by observations. Hydrographic conditions at the SEATS station indicated that, under La Niña conditions, unusual accumulation of warm and nutrient-depleted water occurred in the upper water column cancelled out the effect of stronger mixing. Therefore, the biogeochemical responses of the northern SCS to surface forcing during the recent El Niño/La Niña conditions displayed in a highly asymmetrical manner.

Determination of safe yield of a water source is a basic aspect of water supply planning. In this report, the safe yield is defined as the maximum constant release from a reservoir that is possible during a selected drought period. The yield depends on drought magnitude and duration controlled by nature and ability to manipulate the releases through man made controls in the form of impoundment structures and regulations. A water supply system with two reservoirs in series and one in parallel in Spotsylvania County — the Hunting Run Reservoir, the Motts Run Reservoir (in series), and the Ni River Reservoir is considered to demonstrate the yield calculations. When several reservoirs are considered, the critical periods (defined as the period from full storage to empty condition) may not coincide and the system must be analyzed for the binding critical duration. A zero-one linear integer programming formulation is proposed to compute the system yield. The formulation accommodates the various storage and river flow dependent instream flow requirements. It is found that the water treatment plant capacity, instream flow requirements, and flows themselves limit the yield. Inflows to the reservoir are very important factor in determination of safe yield for any system of reservoirs. Changes in the precipitation hence inflows may cause a significant effect on the operation of reservoir. El Nino and La Nina phenomena, which occur due to changes in the atmospheric condition over the equatorial Pacific region, are found to affect the global climate in different studies. To examine the changes in the precipitation / streamflows due to El Nino and La Nina events on the safe yield, studies are done on the streamflows in the study area and four regions across the world during El Nino and LA Nina events. Lag correlation studies and descriptive analysis of the streamflows in the study region in Northern Virginia fail to show any pattern in the streamflow changes due to El Nino and La Nina events, based on the available data. However, this observation is not conclusive and further research if needed. / Master of Science

[pt] O presente trabalho tem por objetivo compreender a perpetuação do discurso dos saberes ocidentais na margem do mundo, através da criminologia positivista, com a tradução de Lombroso feita por Nina Rodrigues, expoente no país da Escola Positivista. A partir da revisão bibliográfica buscou-se compreender, sob a perspectiva da colonialidade do saber e do ser, a invasão e colonização da América como fenômeno criador da segregação racial, constituindo-se nas primeiras demarcações da raça como conhecemos. Com essa ideia de construção do outro, Lombroso partiu dos estudos científicos para explicar o controle repressivo das sociedades centrais. A criminologia positivista partiu da ideia de degeneração dos indivíduos e na inferioridade biológica para explicar as razões da criminalização. Levando-se em conta a técnica do centro do mundo, os países latino-americanos importaram os estudos de criminologia para a margem, fortalecendo a relação de dependência centro-margem. No Brasil, as elites precisavam criar mecanismos ideológico-políticos para a manutenção no poder após a abolição da escravidão e instauração da república. A questão racial foi o ponto central nesse projeto racista confirmado pelos estudos de Nina Rodrigues, dividindo as raças, posicionando o problema do negro e o mestiço como fatores preocupantes para o futuro do país. A personificação do outro criminalizável influenciou a formação sócio-política brasileira, de maneira que o sistema penal é o responsável pela perpetuação de privilégios e vantagens históricas usufruídas pelos descendentes dos europeus. A continuidade do pensamento sobre o outro criminalizável demonstra o quantum de positivismo criminológico ainda possuímos. / [en] The presente work aims to understand the perpetuation of the discourse of western knowledge on the world, through positivista criminology, with the translation of Lombroso made by Nina Rodrigues, exponente in the country of the Positivist School. From the literature review, we sought to understand, from the perspective of the coloniality of knowledge and being, the invasion and colonization of America as a phenomenon that created racial segregation, constituting the first demarcations of race as we know it. With this idea of building the other, Lombroso started from scientific studies to explain the repressive control of central societies. Positivist criminology started from the ideia of degeneration of individuals and biological inferiority to explain the reasons for criminalization. Taking into account the technique of the center of the world, Latin American countries imported criminology studies to the margins, strenthening the center-margin dependency relationship. In Brazil, the elites needed to create ideological-political mechanisms to mantain power after the abolition of slavery and the establishment of the republic. The racial issue was the central point in this racista project confirmed by the studies of Nina Rodrigues, dividing the races, positioning the black problem and the mestizo as worrying factors for the future of the country. The personification of the criminalizable other influenced the Brazilian sócio-political formation, so that the penal system is responsible for the perpetuation of privileges and historical advantages enjoyed by the descendants of Europeans. The continuity of thinking about the criminalizable other demonstrates the quantum of criminological positivismo we still have.

This thesis contends that Nina Katchadourian's oeuvre can be read as subtly breaking down problematic assumptions about nature in Western thought. The second chapter draws on biosemiotics, which redefines life as semiosis, and trans-corporeality, which reconceptualizes the human body as inseparable from the environment, to show how Katchadourian's art routinely calls attention to non-human animal and material agencies. The third chapter demonstrates how Katchadourian's work implicitly reinforces Donna Haraway's idea of naturecultures, which contends that nature and culture are mutually implicated and inextricably intertwined, through a close reading of two of Katchadourian's pieces, Natural Crossdressing and Mended Spiderwebs #19 (Laundry Line). The final chapter compares the use of irony in two pieces that comment on Western animal classification--Chloe, by Katchadourian, and Scala Naturae, by Mark Dion--contending that Katchadourian's piece demonstrates what Bronislaw Szerszynski terms an "ironic ecology."

Once every three, four or even seven years, the Southeast trade winds which blow west-ward across the tropical zone of the Pacific Ocean, from the shores of South America towards the Asian land mass, weaken and sometimes even reverse their direction. This phenomenon is known as El Nino. Conversely, the climatic condition known as La Nina is characterised by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, as compared to El Nino. Global climate anomalies associated with La Nina tend to be opposite to those of El Nino. A study of shrimp culture in Ecuador was carried out to analyse the temporal changes in pond water quality, phytoplankton composition and diversity, and bacterial composition and diversity in the intestines of cultured Litopenaeus vannamei in Ecuador. These parameters were studied in relation to their impact on the growth, survival and production in a semi-intensive shrimp culture farm situated in the Chone River Estuary, Ecuador. Five culture periods were studied during the climatic events of El Nino, La Nina and transition periods (1996 to 1999 ). Shrimp were stocked in ponds at 10 PL/m2. Pond management included pond drying, inorganic fertilisation, and feeding with a commercial pellet twice a day. The physicochemical characteristics of the pond water and the phytoplankton and bacterial counts were estimated at intervals of 7-15 days of culture during each period of study. The concentrations of nitrite, nitrate, sulphide, ammonia, pH and suspended solids in the pond water in all ponds during the five culture periods fluctuated within ranges considered compatible with shrimp farming. Phosphorus, silica, temperature and salinity, however, showed significant differences during the five periods of shrimp culture, reaching sub-optimal levels during some culture periods. The species composition and diversity of phytoplankton was different during El Nino, La Nina events and transition periods, with a decrease in the diatom community and an increase in the cyanophytes algae community associated with changes in nutrients and nutrient ratios, and temperature, salinity is discussed. A low diversity of bacterial genera with a predominance of Vibrio spp., particularly V. harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus, was observed in shrimp intestines during disease outbreaks in the transition and La Nina periods associated with significant environmental changes in temperature and salinity. Shrimp performance was significantly different between El Nino, La Nina and transition climatic periods. Survival, feed conversion ratio and yield were better during El Nino periods because of the positive effects of higher pond water temperature and salinity (29°C and 28 psu) on the shrimp stocks.

Não se trata de realizar uma reflexão sobre o pretérito ou os contextos, mas de um esforço que busca entender como o tempo foi mobilizado de diversas maneiras, primeiro, nas construções de um médico-cientista obcecado pelo futuro no embate com a duração lenta atribuída ao Outro, para o qual o presente aparece como lugar da ação, possibilidade de uma missão associada à razão. Esta experiência foi associada pelos seus leitores ao pessimismo, uma categoria temporal que nos remete ao desencantamento produzido pela certeza de que o vir-à-ser estaria marcado pela decadência motivada pela mestiçagem. O desencantamento nos aparece como um lado desta experiência com o tempo, encantada com as possibilidades advindas da racionalidade, da ciência e seus objetos, dos seus ritmos e rituais, dos prognósticos que a racionalidade poderia produzir. E assim, Nina Rodrigues lança-se a promover a ideia de sua própria originalidade, tal como lobo solitário a produzir conhecimento científico em um ambiente classificado, por ele, como refratário às verdades produzidas pela ciência. A construção desta ideia o colocava em ação no presente. Optamos, portanto, pela metáfora do náufrago do tempo para pensarmos a mediação entre o desencantamento e a esperança. Entendemos, pois, que ao lançar-se para o futuro, a degenerescência e sua esfinge estavam no horizonte ao lado das promessas da ciência moderna. Em segundo lugar objetivamos analisar como as leituras sobre Nina Rodrigues o localizaram em um tempo do legado e da distância a partir de atividades editoriais e comemorativas que exumaram seu corpo escrito muitas vezes, a elaborar memórias acerca da produção do conhecimento antropológico sobre o negro não apenas nos anos de 1930, mas durante todo o século XX. No escopo desta análise sobre as danações do tempo fizemos usos particulares de teorias que, à primeira vista, se separam, tais como os estudos sobre a experiência temporal moderna em Reinhart Koselleck e a reabilitação do anacronismo no trabalho do historiador proposta por Jacques Rancière. Porém, o problema do tempo como experiência subjaz as propostas de ambos os autores e possibilita um emprego singular de pensamentos tão distintos.

De forma geral, o trabalho analisa as repercussões no Brasil de determinadas teorias médicas que relacionavam os conceitos de raça, mestiçagem, degenerescência e alienação mental. o ponto principal deste trabalho é o estudo da obra do médico maranhense Raimundo Nina Rodrigues (1862-1906), professor de Medicina Legal da Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia, que defendia a existência de particularidades nos negros e nos mestiços brasileiros, com relação à sua psicopatologia e à sua imputabilidade penal. Analisa-se a sua extensa produção científica, publicada no Brasil e no exterior, de 1890 a 1906. Como esta produção divide-se em várias áreas de interesse, a pesquisa privilegiou os seus estudos de psicopatologia comparada, em que os conceitos supracitados se articulam e se mostram em ação, na descrição de casos clínicos. Ainda que a tese se concentre nas idéias expressadas por Nina Rodrigues, destaca também um importante fundador da psiquiatria brasileira, o baiano Juliano Moreira (1873-1933), enfatizando as suas formulações sobre a não-ligação entre raça, degenerescência, neuropatologia e psicopatologia; em síntese, sua contraposição a Nina Rodrigues quanto às crenças na inferioridade mental inata do negro e no efeito negativo da mestiçagem, no caráter físico e mental dos brasileiros. A fim de contextualizar historicamente o instrumental teórico usado pelos autores citados, em dois capítulos preliminares se apresentam: as teorias raciais no século XIX, enfatizando a construção e a difusão do racismo científico; os desenvolvimentos teóricos dos alienistas europeus em torno das imagens da doença mental em povos ditos primitivos; e a evolução do conceito de degenerescência e suas propostas relações com a etiologia da alienação mental. Ao traçar a trajetória intelectual de Raimundo Nina Rodrigues e de Juliano Moreira evidencia-se que, a despeito de suas divergências, ambos trabalharam de maneira original as teorias vindas dos países europeus, caracterizando-se por uma postura epistemológica que valorizava a obtenção de conhecimentos a partir de pesquisas realizadas no contexto brasileiro. Os grandes debates internacionais do alienismo e da medicina legal da época, sob a óptica destes dois médicos brasileiros, deixam-se entrever em seus escritos. E ainda, ambos contribuíram significativamente para a consolidação de duas especialidades médicas no Brasil, a medicina legal e a psiquiatria, tanto na sistematização de seu ensino quanto nas práticas institucionais a elas associadas / Abstract: This thesis focuses on a specific aspect of the History of Psychiatry in Brazil, encompassing the period of its initial establishment as an autonomous medical discipline. It describes medical theories related to the concepts of race, mestization, degeneration and mental alienation. It is important to stand out that during the the second half of the XIX century the debate on the Brazilian nationality was associated to medical concerns on the supposed harmful consequences of miscegenation for Brazilians' future. Although the terms race and mestization were deeply associated to Brazil's image since the Colonial Period, they had reached a new status in the Iate XIX century. One could say that in the last quarter of the 1800's Brazil was defined by its races. The problem of the black and the mestizo reached a scientific status only after the abolition of slavery, when it was examined from the perspective of the degeneration theory and climaticlracial determinisms. Brazilian thinkers were then forced to face new theories coming from overseas, and obligated to discuss further the future of a mestizo people in a tropical climate. This study explores the work of Raimundo Nina Rodrigues (1862-1906), a professor of legal Medicine at the Bahia Medicine Faculty that defended the existence of idiosincrasies in black and mestizo Brazilians regarding criminal imputability and psycopathology. Nina Rodrigues' texts can be divided in four major categories of interest: (i) Tropical Medicine and Public Sanitary Organization; (ii) legal Medicine and Forensic Psychiatry; (iii) studies of Comparative Psycopathology; and (iv) ethnography of African people in Bahia state. The results presented herein emphasizes the studies of Comparative Psycopathology. The analysis was built on Nina Rodrigues' expressive scientific production, published in Brazilian and European journals. In order to examine a theoretical counterpart to Nina Rodrigues, regarding his argument of a negative effect of miscegenation on the physical and mental characteristics of Brazilians, the work of another important founder of Brazilian Psychiatry, Juliano Moreira (1873-1933), was also considered. Note that the expression mental alienation is used through the thesis with the same meanings it had to doctor and to common sense in the Brazilian Iate XIX century: a condition of individuais whose aberrant behaviors were socially troublesome, or that were regarded as dangerous for themselves or other, and in which it was possible to recognize some feature dissonant from rationality, the madness, at last. In other hand, the word race is composed of a particular set of meanings: a race is a section of humanity, biologically defined, whose members are identified by their physical aspect, that are supposed to be related to specific moral and intellectual attributes. In this context, hierarchy, progress and race were non-dissociable words. In tracing the intellectual trajectory of Raimundo Nina Rodrigues and Juliano Moreira it was made evident that, despite their divergences, both re-worked originally the theories coming from European countries, and both were marked by an epistemological position that valorized knowledge obtained from scientific researches carried out in the Brazilian context / Doutorado / Saude Mental / Doutor em Ciências Médicas

A relação entre a literatura e a gastronomia presente no livro se estrutura a partir da constatação de que se alimentar faz parte do cotidiano das pessoas, e este, por sua vez, é uma forma de alimento para a crônica. Para lograr tal objetivo, será realizado um histórico da crônica, apresentando sua trajetória e sua importância no Brasil e sua ligação com o jornal. Buscar-se-á estabelecer as transformações realizadas na tradicional coluna de culinária por Nina Horta a fim de aproximá-la da crônica. Pretende-se, também, mapear a forma com que a autora relaciona fatos e situações rotineiras a que todo ser humano está sujeito ao resgate e ao registro da memória coletiva. Para a pesquisa, os fundamentos teóricos sobre a crônica serão baseados em Antonio Candido, Jorge de Sá e Joaquim Ferreira dos Santos. Walter Benjamim, Maurice Halbwachs e Pierre Nora serão alguns dos teóricos estudados na busca de uma aproximação da memória coletiva. / This dissertations aims to analyze the structure and writing style of the writer Nina Horta, from her first publication in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo to her book Não é sopa: crônicas e receitas de comida, by the publisher Companhia das Letras. The relationship between literature and gastronomy found in the book is based on the conclusion that feeding is a part of people’s routine – which is, for its part, a source of inspiration for the short stories themselves. In order to achieve such purpose, we will outline a history of the short story, presenting its development and importance in Brazil, as well as its connection to newspapers. We will try to establish the transformations which happened in Nina Horta’s traditional cooking column, so as to bring it closer to the short story genre. We also intend to map the way the author connects usual facts and situations, to which everyone is subject, to the recovery and record of collective memory. For the research, the theoretical foundations about short stories will be based on Antonio Candido, Jorge de Sá and Joaquim Ferreira dos Santos. Walter Benjamim, Maurice Halbwachs and Pierre Nora will be some of the theoreticians studied in order to approach the concept of collective memory.
