Water resource infrastructure in cold regions of the world can be significantly impacted by the existence of river ice. Major engineering concerns related to river ice include ice jam flooding, the design and operation of hydropower facilities and other hydraulic structures, water supplies, as well as ecological, environmental, and morphological effects. The use of numerical simulation models has been identified as one of the most efficient means by which river ice processes can be studied and the effects of river ice be evaluated. The continued advancement of these simulation models will help to develop new theories and evaluate potential mitigation alternatives for these ice issues. In this thesis, a literature review of existing river ice numerical models, of anchor ice formation and modeling studies, and of aufeis formation and modeling studies is conducted. A high level summary of the two-dimensional CRISSP numerical model is presented as well as the developed freeze-up model with a focus specifically on the anchor ice and aufeis growth processes. This model includes development in the detailed heat transfer calculations, an improved surface ice mass exchange model which includes the rapids entrainment process, and an improved dry bed treatment model along with the expanded anchor ice and aufeis growth model. The developed sub-models are tested in an ideal channel setting as somewhat of a model confirmation. A case study of significant anchor ice and aufeis growth on the Nelson River in northern Manitoba, Canada, will be the primary field test case for the anchor ice and aufeis model. A second case study on the same river will be used to evaluate the surface ice components of the model in a field setting. The results from these cases studies will be used to highlight the capabilities and deficiencies in the numerical model and to identify areas of further research and model development.

Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain's most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson's life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War. An introductory literature review provides a thorough explanation of how Nelson's legacy has been perceived by past historians and how this legacy will be examined throughout the thesis. The manner in which Nelson was viewed by both his naval contemporaries and the general British public during his lifetime is then surveyed, with a specific focus on the outpouring of national grief that followed Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. A major portion of the thesis explores how Nelson's legacy developed throughout the century following his death. Separate studies of Nelson's professional memory among his Royal Navy successors and his cultural memory in British society as it became ever more focused on naval concerns follow; these take the thesis chronologically up through the final decades of the nineteenth century and are then combined in a discussion of the degree to which Nelson's legacy permeated all Britons, regardless of profession, in the early years of the twentieth century. The thesis concludes with a brief discussion of the impact Nelson's legacy had on Britain during the early months of the First World War and a broader analysis of how the cultural and professional memory of Horatio Nelson's naval achievements in 1805 created an atmosphere in which a naval victory decisive enough to satisfy all aspects of British society was impossible in 1914.

This thesis contributes to the literature on the French Catholic Marist mission in New Zealand by providing the first critical in-depth biography of one of the early French missionaries, Antoine Marie Garin (1810-1889). It emphasises the importance of the Marists’ position as outsiders in nineteenth-century New Zealand society. As neither ‘colonising’ British settlers, nor ‘colonised’ Maori, the Marists were in a special position to view events unfolding in the mid-nineteenth century, when New Zealand was changing from a Maori-dominated to a predominantly Pakeha-dominated world. The records which the Marists kept of their experiences, including diaries, letters, memoirs and annals, have the potential to provide a significant contribution to New Zealand historiography, and remain relatively untapped. As a biographical study, this thesis uses the framework of Garin’s life story to add insight to the intercultural dynamic in nineteenth-century New Zealand. The thesis begins with an exposé of the theory used to examine the intercultural dimension in Garin’s experience. Garin’s life in New Zealand was a tale of cross-cultural encounter occurring within two cultural-social paradigms: the Maori-Pakeha paradigm, and the Catholic-Protestant settler paradigm. With respect to the Maori-Pakeha paradigm, it is argued that Homi K. Bhabha’s theory of hybridity provides an innovative framework within which to study early interaction between Maori and Pakeha. The concept of hybridity stresses the interdependence of coloniser and colonised, thereby recognising the existence of agency on both sides, and avoiding the binary opposition of ‘Maori’ and ‘Pakeha’ that continues to mark contemporary New Zealand society. Another postcolonial theory, that of diaspora, is used to illuminate Garin’s experience in settler communities. It is argued that religion can be the basis for a diaspora, and that the Catholics in nineteenth-century New Zealand had a diasporic consciousness because of their creation of separate Catholic institutions, and their connections to the wider Catholic world. Part Two of the thesis consists of the biography proper. It is framed as a cultural biography: a biography that seeks to illuminate not only the subject’s life, but also national history. Garin was a grassroots Catholic missionary, who, through talent, perseverance and a little luck, made a notable impact on New Zealand society, in particular in the area of Catholic education. However, even more important to his story was his ability to build bridges between cultures, and create communities of Maori and settler Catholics. Arguably, Garin’s greatest legacy is the diary that he kept while a missionary to Maori. This documents the everyday border crossing that was taking place between the Maori of Mangakahia and Garin himself in the hybrid society of 1840s’ New Zealand.

Embasando suas atividades intelectuais diretamente na obra do filósofo húngaro, Carlos Nelson Coutinho e Leandro Konder oferecem grande contribuição à reflexão marxista local. Partindo da leitura dos seus textos, realizamos a investigação do potencial difusor do pensamento de Lukács no país. No entanto, constatou-se a sua riqueza como contributo criador, que se estabelece a partir do confrontamento do referencial lukacsiano com as características específicas de nossa sociedade. Nesse sentido, a produção teórica de Konder e Coutinho não pode ser resumida ao processo de difusão do pensamento de Lukács do país, devendo antes serem concebidas como produtoras de um conhecimento novo. Situados no período posterior à denúncia dos crimes do regime stalinista no XX Congresso do PCUS, de 1956, as obras dos dois pensadores configuram-se como peças-chave para a edificação de um pensamento marxista renovado / This research purposes the analysis of the reception of the ideas of Marxist philosopher György Lukács in Brazil, focusing on the critical role of two thinkers who have dedicated themselves to the aesthetic-literary dimension. Basing their intellectual activities directly in the work of the Hungarian philosopher, Carlos Nelson Coutinho and Leandro Konder offer great contribution to local Marxist reflection. From the reading of his texts, we investigated the potential diffuser thought of Lukacs in the country. However, we found their richness as wealth creator as a rich contribute, established through the confrontation of lukácksean reference to the specific characteristics of our society. Regarding this point, the theoretical production of Konder and Coutinho can not be summed up to this diffusional process of the thinking of Lukács in the country, but should be conceived as producers of new knowledge. Situated in the period after the reporting of the crimes of the Stalinist regime in the XX Congress of the CPSU in 1956, the works of the two thinkers appear as key pieces for the building of a renewed Marxist thought

O presente trabalho discute o surgimento, o desenvolvimento e o fim da crônica esportiva. De início, a relação entre a crônica o futebol era às turras, já que o referido esporte era considerado uma coisa estrangeira, praticada pela alta sociedade. Com a entrada dos homens de letras no mundo da crônica esportiva, casos de José Lins do Rego e Nelson Rodrigues, a crônica passou a ter um papel fundamental na criação de um certo imaginário futebolístico, como a mística do Flamengo, a realeza de Pelé, a camisa canarinho e o complexo de vira-latas, por exemplo. Por fim, no momento em que a literatura abandona a crônica esportiva, fica a opinião e o vocabulário do especialista, do cronista esportivo que discute esquemas táticos e escalações. O literato é substituído pelo especialista em futebol, um analista, um ser racional para contrapor a passionalidade do torcedor. A crônica deixa a literatura para se tornar um simples colunismo. / This work discusses the emergence, development and termination of sports chronicle. Initially, the relationship between chronicles and football was at odds, since this sport was considered a foreign thing, practiced by the high society. With the entry of lettered men in the world of sports chronicles, being the case of José Lins do Rego and Nelson Rodrigues, the chronicle was to play a key role in creating a certain football fancy, like Flamengo's mystique, Pele's royalty, the canarinho shirt and the stray dog complex, for example. Finally, the moment that the literature leaves the sports chronicle, the opinion and the vocabulary left are from a specialit, a sportswriter who discusses tactical formations and lineups. The literate writer is replaced by football expert, an analyst, a rational being to counteract the supporter's passionateness. The chronicle abandons the literature to become just a column.
