The media, protest at and nation building in post-apartheid South Africa : The spear : a case study
… that ensued following the publication of The Spear, a painting by artist Brett Murray which depicted African National Congress (ANC) President Jacob Zuma with his genitals exposed. The objective of the study is twofold. First, to understand how the debate unfolded in media and second, to …

The Biomechanics of Spear Throwing: An Analysis of the Effects of Anatomical Variation on Throwing Performance, with Implications for the Fossil Record
… and javelin throwing, yet the biomechanics of spear throwing were completely unknown. Moreover, it has been suggested that early modern humans had lesser effective mechanical advantage: EMA, the ratio of moment arm to load arm) than Neandertals, as a result of selection for throwing, as this …

An Evaluation of High Protein Oat Forage for Dairy Cattle
… the World Oat Collection (53). In South Dakota, Spear, a high groat protein spring oat variety, as developed in 1974 from a Neal x Clintland 64 cross. When young pigs were fed a diet containing 40% Spear oats, weight gains were equal to those of an equivalent ration of corn and soybean oil meal …

Feeding Value of High Protein Oat Silage Versus Corn Silage for Dairy Cows
… yield in oat groats (dehulled kernels) of Spear (Neal x Clintland 64 cross) oats is one of the highest of currently available varieties. This high average protein yield indicates a combination of high protein percent and adaption to South Dakota's environment. The grain contains 7% oil as …

Saint, martyr, killer of Christ? The legend of Longinus in medieval Irish tradition
… at the crucifixion who pierced Christ with a spear, who believed and, according to some texts, was healed of his blindness by the blood and water issuing from the wound, and who later was martyred for his belief. In my thesis I survey the knowledge and use of the legend of Longinus in Ireland …

Observation of eta-c and other structures in the radiative decay psi to gamma eta pi-plus pi-minus
The Mark III detector at SPEAR was used to observe the exclusive radiative decay [...] A spin-parity analysis was performed to determine the quantum numbers of the resonances responsible for this structure. However, the result was seen to be model dependent, so that it was not possible to …

Direct measurement of the decays of charmed D mesons
… are observed by the Mark III detector at SPEAR. A new technique is applied to these data to derive D branching fractions which do not rely on the measurement of D production cross sections. Measurements are presented for three decay modes of the D0 ( K-1pi+, K-1pi-1pi+ 1pi+ and K-1pi+ 1pi0 …

Observations of new cabibbo suppressed decays of the D meson
… D meson using the Mark III detector at the SPEAR e+e-storage ring. Observations of four new decay modes are presented along with upper limits for three others We have measured a cross section times branching ratio of .035 +-.008 +-.004 nb for the ""color suppressed"" decay D+ -> Phi pi+. We …

Study of D-star mesons produced in electron positron annihilations at 4.14 GeV center of mass energy
… GeV are observed by the Mark III detector at SPEAR. The recoil mass spectrum of the D mesons is used to extract the branching fractions of the charged and neutral D*. Measurements are presented for the two decay modes of the D*O (-'yDo, and :71'0DO) and the three decay modes of the D*+ (-'yD+, …
