L’obiettivo del lavoro di ricerca consiste nell’analisi dei dati archeologici della sinagoga di Bova marina (RC). Dopo una veloce descrizione della presenza ebraica in Italia, attraverso i reperti archeologici, si è passati ad analizzare i dati degli scavi degli anni ’80 del Novecento e successivamente si è proceduto a delle nuove analisi stratigrafiche per definire la cronologia della sinagoga e dell’intero sito di S. Pasquale. Nella tesi sono riportati i nuovi dati inerenti il rilievo della sinagoga, le nuove ipotesi interpretative delle due aree sepolcrali e la lettura di un nuovo edificio collegabile alla stessa fase di vita della sinagoga. / The target of the research is the analysis of archaeological data of the Bova Marina (RC) synagogue. After a quick description of the Jewish presence in Italy, through the archaeological finds, it moved to analyze the data of the excavations of the 80s of the twentieth century and then we proceeded in the new stratigraphic analysis to define the history of the synagogue and the entire site of St. Pasquale. The thesis shows the new data concerning the importance of the synagogue, the new possible interpretations of the two burial grounds and reading a new building connected to the same phase of life of the synagogue.

La tesi ha per oggetto la cultura ebraica cretese nei secoli XIV-XVI e, in particolare, l’influsso esercitato su di essa dalla cultura e dalle tradizioni degli ebrei sefarditi e ashkenaziti che cominciarono a stabilirsi sull’isola a partire dalla metà del Trecento. La tesi si basa da un lato su fonti amministrative e notarili e, dall’altro, sui manoscritti ebraici prodotti o portati a Candia nel periodo considerato. Il primo capitolo tratta della comunità ebraica nel primo Cinquecento e porta nuove notizie a proposito della geografia della zudeca, delle sue sinagoghe, della sua composizione sociale, dell’entità della sua popolazione e della biografia del principale leader spirituale e culturale attivo a Candia a quell’epoca: Elia Capsali. Il secondo capitolo offre una panoramica sull’immigrazione ebraica a Candia nei secoli XIV-XV. Il terzo capitolo esplora alcune particolarità della liturgia sinagogale elaborata dagli ebrei candioti sotto l’influsso della tradizione ashkenazita. Il quarto capitolo tratta di due liste di libri databili alla seconda metà del Quattrocento (Bologna, Biblioteca Universitaria, ms. 3574 B) e suggerisce di considerarle come indicative del peso che ebbero alcuni immigrati ebrei catalani nella diffusione della cultura medica sefardita a Candia. Il quinto capitolo è dedicato al medico, filosofo e astronomo Mosheh ben Yehudah Galiano, il quale visse a Candia tra la seconda metà degli anni Venti del Cinquecento e il 1543. L’ultimo capitolo tratta degli effetti provocati dall’epidemia di peste del 1592-95 all’interno della zudeca di Candia. / The thesis investigates the culture of the Cretan Jews in the XIV-XVI centuries and concentrates on how the Sephardi and Ashkenazi immigrants who began to settle on the island around mid-XIV century contributed in shaping a shared culture. The thesis is based both on the administrative and notarial documents preserved in the State Archive in Venice and on the Hebrew manuscripts produced by Candiote Jews or brought there by the new settlers. The first chapter offers a reconnaissance of the Jewish community of Candia in the early XVI century and brings new information on the geography of the zudeca, its administration, its social composition, the amount of its population, and the biography of its main leader at the time: Elijah Capsali (d. 1550). The third chapter illustrates some of the peculiarities that the Candiote synagogal liturgy developed under the influence of Ashkenazi settlers. The fourth chapter deals with two lists of books found in a manuscript preserved in the University Library of Bologna, and shows how they can be viewed as a testimony of the role played by Catalonian immigrants in the spread of Sephardi medical lore among Candiote Jews. The fifth chapter is dedicated to Mosheh ben Judah Galiano, a physician, philosopher and astronomer who settled in Candia in the late ’20s of the Sixteenth century and left the island on 1543. The sixth chapter offers an examination of the plague that struck Candia in 1592 and its impact on the Jewish community.

During the six-month period of July through December, 1966, a study of animals inhabiting laminarian holdfasts in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, was carried out to determine what animals live in this habitat and to gain some idea of the factors which influence their presence and distribution. This study deals with yet another facet of the ecology of this Oregon estuary, which has been the object of intensive biological, geological, and hydrographic studies for the past several years. Fifty samples were collected and analyzed and found to contain a total of 6,687 individuals representing 99 taxa. Identification was carried to species as far as possible although several individuals were juvenile or incomplete and so could be determined only to higher taxonomic levels. Some species showed limited distributions, but most species were widespread spatially and seasonally. The species composition of the samples at a given location was quite constant throughout the period of sampling, but at each time of sampling it varied markedly among different locations in the bay. Since the animals found in holdfasts also occurred in other situations offering shelter and evidently readily moved from one holdfast to another, it was impossible to define any unique holdfast community. When the animals taken were lumped by group, the most numerous were polychaetes, which comprised twenty-eight percent of all of the individuals. Other groups present in relatively large numbers were pelecypods, nematodes, cirripedes, and gastropods. There have been no other studies of holdfasts-inhabiting animals in estuaries reported from the Pacific coast, so the results found were difficult to compare with other findings. Other surveys have been made on this coast which dealt with animals living in holdfasts in oceanic situations, and the results of the present study were somewhat comparable to them. / Graduation date: 1967

The one-dimensional numerical model developed by Carl R. Goodwin is applied to the Siuslaw estuary. Vertical displacement, horizontal velocity and flow of the water as a function of time and distance from the mouth given by the model are compared with field observations taken under different water mixing conditions in the estuary. The model is considered adequate under well mixed and partially mixed conditions, and inadequate under strongly stratified conditions. Estimations of deviations between model predictions and field observations are presented. Nomograms are constructed from model predictions of amplification factors, high water time lags, maximum flood velocities, maximum ebb velocities, low water time lags, maximum flood flows, maximum ebb flows, high slack water time lags and low slack water time lags, as a function of river flow, ocean tidal range and river mile for a range of 0 to 6000 cubic feet per second (0 to 170 cubic meters per second) of river flow, and 1 to 11 feet (0.30 to 3.35 meters) of ocean tidal range. These nomograms are considered adequate for predictive purposes during well mixed and partially mixed conditions of the estuary waters. / Graduation date: 1975
