Putting Tamar in her Place
Putting Tamar in her Place: Rosalie Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh Tamar and Genesis 38 strayed by accident into my life during MPhil research. Such an intriguing account inspired this dissertation, which set out to answer three questions: - What part does this unusual story play in the bible and especially in …

Copper and Zinc Speciation in the Tamar Estuary
… < 0.2 μm filter fractions of samples from the Tamar Estuary were determined during seasonal transects made over a calendar year. Samples were taken over a full salinity range (0-35) and from locations thought to contain DOC from a variety of sources (e.g. terrigenous, biogenic, sewage). No …

Geochemistry of suspended particles in the Tamar estuary
… sediments and suspended particles from the Tamar Estuary show little variation in REE concentrations along the estuary and only minor fractionation relative to standard shale. Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni & Co abundances in the estuarine suspended particles show significant variations in the turbid …

Diffuse Minewater Pollution: Quantification and Risk Assessment in the Tamar Catchment
Abandoned metal mines in the Tamar catchment, south west England, represent a significant threat to surface water quality via generation of acid mine waters. Currently the River Tamar fails environmental quality standards (EQS) established under the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) for …

Studies of arsenic, copper and lead in the soils of the Tamar Valley
… than had previously been carried out in the Tamar Valley area of South West England confirmed higher than normal background levels of arsenic, copper and lead. These elevated background levels are attributed to the weathering of mineralized bed rock. Anomalous values were found directly above …

THE MICROSTRUCTURES OF ESTUARINE PARTICLES
… of suspended and bed sediments from the Tamar Estuary and Restronguet Creek was carried out using a nitrogen adsorption technique. The surface areas and porosities of the particles were determined using BET theory and capillary models applied to the gas adsorption isotherms. The surface …

FLOW INJECTION TECHNIQUES FOR INVESTIGATING THE BIOGEOCHEMISTRY OF NUTRIENTS IN NATURAL WATERS
… in anthropogenically impacted waters such as the Tamar Estuary. The effects of [H+]:[molybdate] ratio, temperature and matrix interferences were systematically investigated. Typical figures of merit were; typical RSDs of 1.5%, a practical limit of detection of 2 µg P Lˉ¹ and a linear range of 2 - …

Intertidal Seagrass Meadows in South West England: The Ecology of Expansion
… space of a decade, intertidal sediments in the Tamar estuary, South West England, have undergone a shift from unvegetated mudflats to dense perennial seagrass habitat. Yet despite the increasing prevalence of intertidal seagrass meadows in the South West, there are large knowledge gaps relating …

COMPLEXATION AND PARTICLE-WATER INTERACTIONS OF NICKEL IN ESTUARIES
… and sediments were collected seasonally from the Tamar, Tweed and Mersey Estuaries. The chemical speciation of dissolved Ni was determined by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (ACSV), and the sorptive behaviour of Ni was studied under simulated estuarine conditions using " Ni coupled to …

Factors affecting the response of marine and estuarine bacterial communities to trace metal enrichment
… Devon), a moderately contaminated estuary (Tamar, Devon), a contaminated estuary (Fal, Cornwall), a coastal station (M1) and a truly marine station off the continental shelf (M2). Key factors influencing the response of bacterial communities to trace metal enrichment were identified. In …

CATCHMENT SCALE MONITORING AND MODELLING OF PHOSPHORUS USING FLOW INJECTION ANALYSIS AND AN EXPORT COEFFICIENT MODEL
… reactive phosphorus (FRP) in the River Frome and Tamar Estuary. The results showed that optimum storage conditions were highly matrix dependent, with significant differences in measured FRP concentration over time between the River Frome and Tamar Estuary (due to different calcium concentrations) …

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISATION OF HIGHLY BRANCHED ISOPRENOID ALKENES FROM SEDIMENTS AND ALGAE
… HBI and carotenoid biomarker concentrations in Tamar sediments was conducted during 1994. The concentrations of C25 HBI alkenes exhibited strong negative correlations with those of /J-C2i:6 and fucoxanthin, common diatom markers. The strong inverse variance suggests that HBI concentrations are …

THE DETERMINATION OF COPPER IN SEA WATER USING FLOW INJECTION WITH CHEMILUMINESCENCE DETECTION
… and then validated by field deployment on the Tamar Estuary, during which its robustness, reliability and stand alone capability were demonstrated. Good accuracy was achieved for a seawater CRM analysed onboard. The near real time Cu data obtained was in good agreement with a comparative …

Matthew1:1–17 as a Summary of Israel’s Story: The Messiah, His Brothers, and the Nations
… four annotations in 1:2–6: ‘and Zerah by Tamar’, ‘by Rahab’, ‘by Ruth’, and ‘by the [wife] of Uriah’? These two questions, especially the latter, continue to be the subject of debate, and must be regarded as open questions in Matthean scholarship. Dale Allison observes the opaque nature of …

Across the River: ferries as a vehicle for exploring riverborderscapes
… scales in the South West of England: the River Tamar (regional), River Torridge (district) and Helford River (parish). Research is situated on and across the river, through the routes of estuarine passenger ferries, as they transport passengers from one side of the river to the other. In so …

Carbon management and scenario planning at the landscape scale with GIS
… modelling, using a regional case study (the Tamar Valley Catchment, southwest England) and drawing entirely on secondary data sources (current distributions of soils and vegetation). A series of scenarios for future land cover change have been developed, for which carbon storage, GHG and …

Fashioning Brazil: Globalization and the Representation of Brazilian Dress in National Geographic
… regime. Catherine A. Lutz and Jane L. Collins, Tamar Rothenberg and Linda Steet have all argued that National Geographic’s distinctive, quasi-anthropological outlook has established hierarchies of difference and rendered subjects into dehumanised objects, a spectacle of the unknown and exotic …

The correlation between church leaders' understanding of the issue of child sexual abuse and preventive steps taken within their churches
… of David and Bathsheba along with the story of Tamar and Amnon were reflected upon within the historical and biblical context of sexual abuse. The theological understanding of sin and its results was analyzed in the context of child sexual abuse. A chronological exploration of the history of …

The role of colloidal phase in the measurement of pollutants in natural waters
… effects on the fibre filter. The analysis of the Tamar estuary water samples revealed substantial amounts of arsenic, attributed to drainage from mining activities. Colloidal arsenic was found along with dissolved and particulate arsenic in freshwater. However, the saline water samples showed the …
