“Julian and Maddalo” is concerned to the point of preoccupation with content, tone, form talk. Critics who have noted importance dialogue poem done so by viewing it as a means postulating abstract ideas or outlining biographical features poem's supposed alter egos. We should be wary thinking these exchanges in such coded ways, especially if we recall that Julian unsure his memory (“I / The sens...

We present low-dispersion visible spectra of two regions of the 30 Doradus nebula. When corrected for atomic continuum emission and divided by the spectrum of the exciting and illuminating stars, one of the two spectra clearly shows Extended Red Emission (ERE) superimposed on the scattering component. This ERE band peaks around 7270Å and is 1140Å width. HAC grains are found to explain the obser...

Julian Schwinger has given us a brilliant exposition of the renormalization ideas associated with his, Tomonaga's and Dyson's names. My task is to take the story up from the exciting days of 1949 to the present. As Schwinger has reminded us, even though renormalization and infinities are logically distinct, it was the persistent infinities encountered in field theories which brought the necessi...

We report the discovery of two new large H i shells in the direction of the Coalsack nebula. Both shells were observed with the Parkes Radio Telescope as part of the Southern Galactic Plane Survey. The largest shell, GSH 304-00-12, is at a distance of ∼ 1.2 kpc and has derived physical dimensions of 280×200 pc. The second shell, GSH 305+01-24, is at a distance of ∼ 2.2 kpc and has derived dimen...

The onset of spring, noted by the timing of wildlife migratory and breeding behaviors, has been occurring earlier over the past few decades. Here, we examine 15 years of loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, nesting patterns along a 40.5 km beach on Florida’s Atlantic coast. This small section of beach is considered to be the most important nesting area for this threatened species in the west...

0278© 2002 All righ Archaeologists often stress the importance of sedentism, large population sizes, and the economy of scale in the development of ceramic technologies worldwide. Yet pottery making is known among many mobile and small-scale societies that make only small numbers of pots. Unfortunately, we know very little about how this technology was organized in such societies. Using Instrum...
