Lead tolerance in the freshwater isopod asellus aquaticus
… rivers, one site on the polluted river Calder and another on the unpolluted Woodplumpton Brook were selected for further investigation. Calder Asellus were shown to be more tolerant to lead than Woodplumpton Asellus but there was no difference between the populations in their tolerance …

Estimates on Oscillatory Singular Integral Operators
… in the deep theories developed by Fourier, Calder´on, Zygmund, and Stein. In this work we show results on a new oscillatory singular integral operator with Calder´on-Zygmund kernel and a generalized phase function. We use techniques such as Calder´on-Zygmund theory, dyadic decomposition, the …

Fast Large-Scale Electromagnetic Simulation of Doubly Periodic Structures in Layered Media
… are proposed. </p><p>The first approach, Calder\'{o}n preconditioned spectral-element spectral-integral (CP-SESI) method, is an improvement over the existing finite-element boundary-integral method. By introducing the Calder\'{o}n preconditioner, domain decomposition and the fast Fourier …

A look at T1 and Tb theorems on non-homogeneous spaces through time-frequency analysis
… More precisely, it asks if one can extend a Calder\'on-Zygmund operator to a bounded operator on $L^p$. In addition, Tb theorem was raised when one asks if the T1 theorem remains true if the function $1$ is substituted by some bounded function $b$. In this dissertation, we apply …

Adelante con animo
… intrinsic intent, inherent life. The work of Calder and Calatrava is examined in order to understand how such a perception might arise and to clarify what I mean by "animo". That inquiry is one part in a yet broader sequence of events exploring ways in which buildings are made and reflecting …

Developing a methodology for archaeological prospection on alluvial floodplains with a case study involving the Winckley Lowes barrow sequence, Lancashire.
… the confluence of the Rivers Ribble, Hodder and Calder near Clitheroe, Lancashire. This was chosen as a case study due to the presence of three putative burial mounds and one confirmed mound of anthromorphic origin. The results of this investigation provide evidence of the development of river …

Unfoldings
… attention is given to the works of Alexander Calder, George Rickey, and Yaacov Agam. The author describes a personal iconography, and introduces the geometric foundation of her sculptural works, which derive from the geometry of R. Buckminster Fuller's "vector-equilibrium jitterbug." …

Using Hplc and Pcr-Dgge for the Assessment of Phytoplankton and Bacterioplankton Communities in Scottish Freshwater Lakes
… was made fortnightly in mesotrophic Loch Calder, another heavily modified water body, which supplies drinking water to parts of Northern Scotland. Major peaks in cyanobacteria and diatoms occurred in summer 2009 and spring 2010 respectively, with lower phytoplankton biomasses noted over …

Investigating the occurrence and fate of anticancer drugs in sewage treatment works and the wider aquatic environment
… monitoring was conducted in the rivers Calder, Darwen and Ribble (North West UK) with CP present at 5 of the 6 river locations with concentrations ranging from 0.41 to 3.71 ng/L. All these rivers receive treated wastewater effluent from sewage treatment works serving different population …

The Political Entanglements of Recognition: Aboriginal Title, Crown Sovereignty, and Indigenous Self Determination
Since the Supreme Court of Canada's Calder (1973) decision, Canada has been forced to recognize that Aboriginal title exists. As a result, Canada has indirectly recognized that Indigenous peoples were self-governing prior to British occupation, however, there has yet to be a comprehensive and …

The effects of upstream Natural Flood Management on urban surface drainage performance
… Asker in Dorset and a sub-catchment of the upper Calder in Yorkshire. The upstream, rural response is simulated by coupling Dynamic TOPMODEL (a semi-distributed hydrological model) and HEC-RAS (which solves the shallow flow equations). This offers a freely-available, spatially-informed approach …

A proteomic investigation of the heat stress response of the South African abalone haliotis midae
The abalone Haliotis midae has been fished to near-extinction on the South African coastline, primarily to satisfy a growing international market. In order to meet demands, H. midae has been produced in South Africa by aquaculture for several decades, and the South African abalone aquaculture …
