A clean slate approach to secure wireless networking
Traditionally, wireless network protocols have been developed for performance. Subsequently, as attacks are identified, patches or defenses have been developed. This has led to an ``arms race,'' where one is never confident about what other vulnerabilities may be exposed in the future. We seek to …

Utopia And Commons: Enclosure And Blank Slate In The Americas
How can utopia, as a concept and a project, have as its goal the exposure and defense of the commons while its very articulation must posit a tabula rasa to be enclosed, improved, and defended? This question lies at the heart of my own project. I investigate and critique a series of moments that …

WOODLAND CARIBOU AS ECOLOGICAL DRIVERS OF FIR WITCHES' BROOM INFECTIONS ON THE SLATE ISLANDS
<p>Woodland caribou herbivory on The Slate Islands altered the forest landscape and ground flora resulting in the emergence of the rust fungi, <em>Melampsorella caryophyllacearum</em>. This rust alternates between chickweeds and balsam fir, where it causes a broom deformity. My study identified …

Effects of metamorphism and structure on aeromagnetic anomalies over the Carolina slate belt near Roxboro, North Carolina
Interpretation of aeromagnetic anomalies to find the subsurface extent and attitudes of multiply deformed stratigraphic units near Roxboro, North Carolina is complicated by effects of regional metamorphism on rock magnetism. Anomaly amplitudes diminish markedly to the WNW near the onset of …

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOODLAND CARIBOU, SOIL CARBON CYCLING AND SOIL FERTILITY ON THE SLATE ISLANDS ARCHIPELAGO IN ONTARIO, CANADA
… soil fertility, and soil carbon cycling on the Slate Islands Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. Woodland caribou are threatened in Ontario, and the caribou population on the Slate Islands has declined steeply since 2015. Northern Michigan University (NMU) and Ontario Ministry of Natural …

Geology of the Meherrin, Virginia area: tracing formations across the staurolite isograd from the Carolina slate belt into the Charlotte belt
… along the northern terminus of the Carolina slate belt in the area of Meherrin, Virginia extends the previously known limits of the Hyco and Aaron Formations from the greenschist metamorphic facies Carolina slate belt northward across a staurolite isograd into the amphibolite metamorphic …

A Fresh Start Comes from God
The clean-slate acts of the Hebrew Bible, i.e., the Year of Jubilee in Leviticus 25 and the Šemittah Year and the Law of Slave Release in Deut 15:1-18, are a part of the tradition of clean-slate acts in the ancient Near East. In these acts, those who have become indebted and have loss land and …

Industrial heritage presentations: the symbolic representation of differing ideologies for the political and economic future of Wales
… research examines how the presentations at three slate industrial heritage sites in North Wales have become symbolic for differing local ideologies regarding the political and economic future of the surrounding area as well as the nation as a whole. Through brochure and display analysis at each …

Tectonic and geologic development of the Charlotte belt south central Virginia Piedmont
… but includes a portion of the adjacent Carolina slate belt. Both the Charlotte belt and the Carolina slate belt are major components of the volcanic arc, Carolinia, that collided with Laurentia during the Late Cambrian to Late Ordovician Taconic orogeny. Both belts consist primarily of volcanic …

Lithologic, edaphic, and biotic factors of small mammal habitats in the slate belt of Western Rutland County, Vermont, and Eastern Washington County, New York
<p>Previous trapping in the slate belt, including both Rutland County, Vermont, and Washington County, New York, has indicated a relative paucity of small mammalian species. There are also rather low populations levels of those mammals present when compared to other regions in Vermont and nearby …

A conceptual framework for supply: supply chain systems architecture and integration design based on practice and theory in the North Wales slate mining industry
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to knowledge in the form of a new theory for supply chain strategy formulation. The objective is to design evaluation criteria, specific to the context of greenfield project architecture and integration design. This study addressed the aim and objective by …

An unconformity in the Carolina slate belt of central North Carolina: new evidence for the areal extent of the ca. 600 Ma Virgilina deformation
… age volcanic terranes like the older Carolina slate belt. In this study it is proposed that the name Virgilina deformation should have precedence over the term Avalonian event, because of the relation of the former 'to compressional tectonics versus the extensional tectonism prevalent in the …

A study of the mineralogy of roof and floor strata associated with coal mines
… roof shales. Of those materials classed as slate, the sand size varied from 1 to 64 percent, while the material reported as draw-slate fell between these limits with a range of sand size from 3 to 38 percent.

A Study of Acoustic Velocity and Dielectric Permittivity Anisotropy in Relation to Finite Strain in Deformed Rock
The Cambrian Slate Belt of Wales provides an ideal laboratory for comparing variations in total natural strain with variations in other physical parameters. A large fold structure at Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda, North Wales, U.K. has been mapped and its three dimensional strain determined from natural …
