Born in London in 1791, George Augustus Middleton attended Cambridge University but failed to graduate. Ordained priest for the Colonies in 1819, he arrived in Sydney, New South Wales, in January 1820 and shortly after commenced work as Assistant Chaplain at Parramatta in the role of locum tenens for the Reverend Samuel Marsden. In 1821 he was appointed to the convict settlement of Newcastle, where, over the ensuing five and a half years he found himself in constant conflict with both the military and ecclesiastical authorities because of his perceived absenteesim and his agricultural dealings. His conflict with the Commandant of Newcastle, Major James Morisset, originated from his perceived interference in, and condemnation of, Morisset’s disregard for the Sabbath and Christian morality. Relations between the two men broke down completely and Middleton found himself criticised from the Governor down and very much isolated. In 1825, Archdeacon Thomas Hobbes Scott, a former secretary to Sir Thomas Bigge during Bigge’s enquiry into the state of New South Wales, arrived in Sydney and commenced the first structural organisation of the antipodean Anglican Church. Almost immediately relations between Scott and Middleton deteriorated to the point where, in 1827, Middleton resigned and moved to his land grant at Paterson, about 70 kilometres from Newcastle. Scholars since then have incorrectly seen the main cause of their conflict as Middleton’s perceived absenteeism, unaware that far greater differences existed. To Scott, Middleton was an incompetent administrator, a lax pastor and unfit for ministry. After resigning, Middleton acted as a pastor, farmer, Justice of the Peace and community member until 1832, when, forced by drought, he moved to Sydney where he established a school by which to support himself and his family. In 1836, William Grant Broughton, formerly the Archdeacon of Australia, and later the first and only Bishop of Australia, returned from England, and in 1837, licensed Middleton to the parish of Butterwick and Seaham. There Middleton served as pastor until his early death in 1848. / Masters Thesis

Efficient unification is considered within the context of logic programming. Unification is explained in terms of equivalence classes made up of terms, where there is a constraint that no equivalence class may contain more than one function term. It is demonstrated that several well-known "efficient" but nonlinear unification algorithms continually maintain the said constraint as a consequence of their choice of data structure for representing equivalence classes. The linearity of the Paterson-Wegman unification algorithm is shown largely to be a consequence of its use of unbounded lists of pointers for representing equivalences between terms, which allows it to avoid the nonlinearity of "union-find".

Le comportement rhéologique de suspensions magmatiques synthétiques hydratées a été expérimentalement étudié en déformation coaxiale et en torsion à haute température et haute pression à l’aide d’une presse de type Paterson. Les résultats obtenus illustrent l’influence de la fraction cristalline et de la forme des cristaux sur la rhéologie et le développement des Orientations Préférentielles de Forme (OPF) des particules au sein des suspensions magmatiques. La formation d’une charpente cristalline, associée à une forte hausse de la viscosité, intervient pour des fractions solides comprises entre fs = 0,20 et 0,38 en relation avec le développement de fabriques de type pénétratif. En augmentant la fraction solide (fs = 0,50), le développement d’une fabrique pénétrative, couplé à des bandes de cisaillement bordées de gradients de déformation, engendre un adoucissement de la réponse rhéologique et une hausse moins importante de la viscosité. Pour fs = 0,58, des bandes de cisaillement de type cassant sans gradient de déformation, recoupant une suspension non déformée, apparaissent et contrôlent le fort adoucissement de la réponse rhéologique. La viscosité de la suspension n’augmente plus alors que légèrement. Au-delà de cette fraction cristalline, les suspensions étudiées montrent une forte réduction de la taille et du rapport de forme des cristaux se traduisant par une stabilisation de la réponse rhéologique en fonction de la déformation. Aucune OPF n’a pu être déterminée et une quasistabilisation de la viscosité est observée (comportement mécanique de solide). Toutes les suspensions étudiées se caractérisent par un comportement rhéologique non-Newtonien de type rhéofluidifiant. La dépendance entre le comportement rhéologique des suspensions magmatiques et le développement des microstructures doit être intégrée dans la modélisation de la mécanique des suspensions magmatiques. / The rheological behaviour of synthetic hydrous magmatic suspensions has been experimentally investigated in compression and torsion at high temperatures and pressures in a Paterson press. The results illustrate the influence of the crystal fraction and of the shape of the crystals on the rheology and the Shape Preferred Orientation (SPO) of the particles. A solid particle network, associated with a strong increase of the viscosity, is generated between crystal fractions (fs) of 0.20 and 0.38, with the development of pervasive fabrics. With increasing the crystal fraction (fs = 0.50), shear bands bordered by symmetrical deformation gradients crosscut the pervasive fabric, resulting in a weakening in the rheological behaviour of the suspension. The increase of the viscosity with increasing cristallinity of the suspension becomes less important. At fs = 0.58, brittle shear bands without deformation gradients crosscut an undeformed suspension and lead to a strong weakening of the rheological behaviour which explains the small increase of the viscosity of the suspension with increasing crystal fraction. Above this crystal fraction, suspensions show a strong reduction of the crystal size and shape ratio. No SPO has been determined but the near-stabilisation of the viscosity, coupled with a stabilisation of the stress with strain, is consistent with a solid-like mechanical behaviour at these high crystallinities. All studied suspensions are characterized by a non-Newtonian, shear thinning rheological behaviour. Our results and, in particular, the dependence between the rheological behaviour and the development of crystal microstructures, need to be integrated in mechanical models of magmatic suspensions.

Do the commercials influence the consumptionbehaviour? Do the commercials influence the lifestyle? Do the influences of the commercial construct the individual lifestyle? In which extent is it social related?</p><p>Material/Method: Together with literature studies, a qualitative method has been used with 5 interviews with young adults in the age of 19-25 in Uppsala.

These young adults have also formed consumptionbehaviour after the commercials, which they show in for example their way of shopping and their way of acting afterwards. The lifestyle is social related, but today we have a lot more choices to make. Today we tend to choose different then before, often because of the knowledge we got.</p><p>Keywords: Lifestyle, influence, commercials, advertising, identities, choice, social related, Giddens, Paterson, Bjurström</p>
