The Mount Brenner stock has intruded folded sedimentary and meta sedimentary rock that lie 40 miles northeast of Dawson City, Yukon Territory. The stock consists of four major concentric zones: (l) an outer zone of fine to medium-grained augite-biotite monzonite; (2) a zone of very coarse-grained monzonite porphyry; (3) an intermediate zone of porphyritic horn blende monzonite; and (4) a central zone of coarse-grained pink quartz monzonite porphyry. Except for the outer zone, all rock types are porphyritic and the alignment of feldspar phenocrysts gives the rocks a primary flow structure which conforms to steeply outward dipping gradational internal contacts. All external contacts are sharp. The regional structural trend is modified in the vicinity of the stock so that beds are generally conformable with the intrusive contact. From structural evidence, it is concluded that at the present level of erosion, the stock was emplaced by forceful injection. The different rock zones of the stock can be accounted for by differentiation of an augite-biotite monzonite magma by a combination of crystal fractionation , volatile and alkali diffusion, and multiple intrusion. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

This study is concerned with design forecasting of storm hydrographs with emphasis on runoff volume and peak discharge. The objective of the study was to develop, calibrate and test a method for forecasting storm runoff from small semi-arid watersheds using an available prediction model. In order to turn the selected prediction model into a forecasting model an objective procedure in terms of an API-type model was developed for evaluating the soil moisture deficit in the upper soil layer at the beginning of each storm. Distinction was made between the physically-based parameters and the other fitting parameters. The rainfall excess calculation was computed by solving the Green and Ampt equation for unsteady rainfall conditions using the physically-based parameters. For the physically-based parameters a geographic information system was developed in order to account for the variability in time and space of the input data and the watershed characteristics and to coregister parameters on a common basis. The fitting parameters were used to calibrate the model on one subwatershed in the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed while the physically-based parameters remained constant. Two objective functions were selected for the optimization procedure. These functions expressed the goodness of fit between the calculated hydrograph volume and peak discharge and the observed volume and peak discharge. Linear relationships between the effective matric potential parameter and the two objective functions obtained from the sensitivity analyses made it possible to develop a bilinear interpolation algorithm to minimize, simultaneously, the difference between the calculated and observed volume and peak discharge. The prediction mode of the model was tested both on different storm events on the same subwatershed and on another subwatershed with satisfactory results. In the prediction mode the effective matric potential parameter was allowed to vary from storm to storm, however, in the forecasting mode these values were obtained from the API model. Relatively poor results were obtained in testing the forecasting mode on another subwatershed. These errors were able to be corrected by changing the channel losses fitting parameters.

This research is to develop an auto optical inspection system for surface mount device light emitting diodes. The principal purpose is to inspect SMD LED for 2D defects which are mixed-material and resin-tearing and for3D defect which is tombstone. In terms with mixed-material inspection, using the count of gradient operator to recognize LED chip. The false alarm rate is 4.29% and misdetection rate is 7.19%. It successfully detects defects with accuracy up to 94.24%. The average computation time is 12.97 ms. In terms of resin-tearing inspection, the research uses the gray scale correlation for SMD LED image registration. The false alarm rate is 5.15% and misdetection rate is 11.34%. The accuracy is up to 91.75%. The average computation time is 10.95 ms. 3D defect continues to use 2D view finder. The advantage of this structure is simple and cost-saving. The investigation which is inspected by the 3D system, comparing with real situation, the average measurement deviation is 4.51%. The average computation time is 8.05 ms. This propose of this system is not only to inspect 2D quickly, precisely and steady, but also to inspect 3D flaws which is hard to detect, and make the wole detective system more artificially-intelligent.

Les fouilles archéologiques et les prospections conduites à Ghazni ont permis de collecter une grande quantité de documents épigraphiques. Parmi ceux-ci, un corpus inédit d’inscriptions funéraires en langue arabe, gravées sur des tombeaux en marbre, fait l’objet de cette étude qui se base sur un fonds photographique unique, gardé dans les archives de la Mission Archéologique italienne en Afghanistan (1957-1978). Ces tombeaux, datés entre le VIIIe/XVe et le XIIe/XVIIIe siècle, témoignent d’une nouvelle phase d’activité de la ville après la période d’abandon dans laquelle elle fut plongée au VIIe/XIIIe siècle, suite à l’invasion des hordes mongoles. À cette époque, Ghazni perd à jamais son rôle politique et culturel mais la ville continue à jouir d’une réputation de sacralité assurée par la présence de mausolées et de tombeaux vénérables des souverains ghaznévides et des personnages renommés de l’époque qui y furent enterrés. Leurs tombeaux devinrent bientôt des lieux de dévotion populaire et de pèlerinage inscrits dans un circuit dévotionnel d’importance locale. Le prestige historique et religieux de ces monuments est resté intact et s’est renouvelé au fil du temps, les cimetières de la ville ont grandi et se sont multipliés jusqu’à dessiner une nouvelle topographie urbaine. Ces tombeaux et leurs épitaphes permettent de retracer un profil tout-à-fait nouveau de la ville et de ses habitants entre la fin du moyen-âge et l’époque pré-moderne. Il s’agit de monuments authentiques en termes de forme et conception, résultat d’une production qui n’est pas associée à une dynastie ou à une époque particulière, mais qui est fortement enracinée dans la culture locale de la ville / Archaeological investigations and surveys in Ghazni - the ancient capital of the Ghaznavids (late 10th-12th c.) - delivered a large amount of epigraphic documents. Among these, an unpublished corpus of funerary inscriptions engraved on marble tombs is the object of this study, mostly based on the photographic archives of the Italian Archaeological Mission in Afghanistan (1957-1978).These lavishly decorated tombs, dating from the 15th century onwards, bear epitaphs carved in cursive script, which display a combined use of Arabic and Persian. They attest of a new phase of activity of the city and shed new light on Ghazni history, after the long period of dump and destruction it suffered in the aftermath of the Mongol invasion (early 13th century), when the city lost its ancient political and cultural hegemony. Nevertheless, Ghazni witnessed a new renaissance as a religious and pilgrimage centre as the high number of mausoleums, holy shrines and tombs prove. These monuments mostly belong to local prominent personalities and often preserved the echo of their prestige for centuries, attracting later burials and becoming part of a local holy itinerary. Extensive cemeteries and burial sites grew up all around the city, redefining the local sacred topography.The tombs and their epitaphs draw a new sketch of the city and its inhabitants between the late Middle Ages and pre-modern times. They maintained a refined level of craftsmanship along the centuries, showing an outstanding artistic longevity and originality which is the result of a production not associated to a particular dynasty or epoch but deeply rooted in Ghazni local culture

Deste modo, como metodologia utiliza-se três acervos fotográficos: foto Bianchi, localizado na Casa da Memória de Ponta Grossa; fotografias da Casa do Divino e três cemitérios da cidade, São José, São João Batista e Colônia Dona Luiza. Essas fotos foram escolhidas por retratarem a criança morta por meio de sua particularização demostrando crenças que são oriundas da religiosidade popular na cidade. Assim, totalizam-se vinte e quatro fotos pós-morte e vinte fotos tumulares que serão analisadas por meio da linguagem fotográfica e representações contidas nelas. Para que essa análise seja possível, será exposta a relação da fotografia com a morte, fazendo um estudo da história da morte e da fotografia e a sua relação com a memória. Além disso, se faz uma ligação entre a morte e o sentimento pela criança, expondo como a infantilidade ganhou reconhecimento e particularização até mesmo após a morte. Após isso, realiza-se um apanhado histórico da cidade de Ponta Grossa e sua relação com as fotografias pós-morte, destacando o local de origem dos objetos analisados para então se fazer a análise das fotos a partir da linguagem fotográfica e também das simbologias existentes nas fotos. Da mesma forma, analisam-se as fotos tumulares das crianças, descrevendo a história dos cemitérios ponta-grossenses e demonstrando que existia um padrão nas fotografias encontradas. Os estudos revelam que as fotografias da morte buscavam imortalizar as crianças por meio da memória e que existiam formas de representações particulares relacionadas a infância, mostrando a religiosidade popular em torno das crianças por meio da particularização infantil. / The purpose of this work is to show which discourses circulated in the infant post-mortem photographs and infant tumular photographs between 1920 to 1965 in the city of Ponta Grossa, analyzing how the children are represented. Thus, as methodology is used three photographic collections: photo Bianchi, located in the Casa da Memória in Ponta Grossa; photographs of the Casa do Divino and three cemeteries of the city, São José, São João Batista and Colônia Dona Luiza. These photos were chosen for portraying the dead child through his particularization demonstrating beliefs that are derived from the popular religiosity in the city. Thus, twenty-four postmortem photos are added and twenty tumular photographs that will be analyzed through the photographic language and representations contained in them. For this analysis to be possible, the relationship between photography and death will be exposed, making a study of the history of death and photography and its relation to memory. In addition, a connection is made between death and feeling for the child, exposing how childishness has gained recognition and particularization even after death. After this, a historical survey of the city of Ponta Grossa and its relation with the postmortem photographs is carried out, highlighting the place of origin of the objects analyzed so that the analysis of the photos can be made from the photographic language and also from the existing symbologies in the pictures. In the same way, the children's tomb pictures are analyzed, describing the history of the cemeteries in Ponta Grossa and demonstrating that there was a pattern in the photographs found. Studies reveal that death photographs sought to immortalize children through memory and that there were forms of particular representations related to childhood, showing the popular religiosity around children through the child's particularization.

Le monument funéraire a longtemps été négligé par les historiens. Comme les obituaires et les testaments, il révèle autant la relation du défunt à la mort que la gestion de sa mémoire par ses héritiers. Cette étude montre d’abord la richesse du mobilier funéraire médiéval de la Bourgogne ducale. À la diversité typologique s’ajoute la richesse de l’iconographie avec l’importance du nombre de monuments à effigies. Ces tombes matérialisent une sépulture de prestige. A l’origine réservée aux grands prélats et aux princes, l’inhumation ad ecclesiam s’étend progressivement à l’aristocratie féodale puis aux bourgeois. La localisation et la matérialisation de la sépulture par un monument reflètent aussi l’évolution de la piété médiévale. Les données épigraphiques et l’iconographie indiquent la mutation d’une piété « gothique » vers une piété plus flamboyante. Mais la volonté de transmettre une mémoire est un souci au moins aussi important que celui du salut de l’âme. Malgré une typologie complexe et une évolution formelle constante, le monument funéraire médiéval conserve une ligne directrice fondée sur la memoria du défunt. Il trahit cependant des stratégies tant sociales que sotériologiques. D’une part, il reflète son auctoritas, et par-delà, celle de son groupe social. D’autre part, il participe activement à son accomplissement spirituel. / The tombstone has long been neglected by historians. As obituaries and wills, tombstones reveal as much the relationship of the deceased to death that the management of their memory by their heirs. This study first shows the wealth of medieval Burgundy graves goods. Typological diversity adds to the richness of iconography with large amounts of effigial monuments. Tombs materialize burial of prestige. Originally reserved for prelates and princes, burial ad ecclesiam progressively extended to the feudal aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. The location and the materialization of a burial monument also reflect the evolution of medieval piety. Epigraphy and iconography show the mutation of "gothic" piety to a more flamboyant piety. But the will to transmitt a memory is a worry at least as important as the salvation of the soul. Despite a complex typology and a constantly formal evolution, the medieval tomb retains a guideline based on the memoria of the deceased. However, it reveals social as well as soteriological strategies. On the one hand, it reflects his auctoritas, and beyond that of his social group. On the other hand, it actively participates in its spiritual fulfillment.

(in English) This thesis called Grave, Tombstone, Graveyard. The Range of Motifs of the Czech Painting of the 19th Century is based on the analysis of paintings, drawings and graphics made by Czech authors throughout the 19th century. Artists worked with funeral motifs in different ways and these will be presented in different case studies. Some painters were fascinated by these subjects and they turned their attention to them systematically and repeatedly throughout their career. Other artists worked with funeral motifs rarely, although significantly. Artists integrated motifs of graves, monuments and cemeteries to their pieces of art for different purposes; this was connected with the interest of Romanticism in aesthetic anomalies and mystery, with their personal experience and feelings. Artists were also interested in genre scenes that were situated in cemeteries. Funeral motifs can be found in illustrated journals as well. Their aim was to document the specific place and as to symbolically express the finality of the life. The pieces of art will be presented in the context of the burial rites and literature of the 19th century. This phenomenon was also reflected by foreign artists, some of them will be also mentioned in the thesis as an analogy to the Czech works.
