Time-like geodesics in AdS_4, AdS_5 and AdS_7 are constructed geometrically and independently of choice of AdS coordinates from division algebra spinors of the corresponding AdS groups, explaining and generalising the construction by Claus et al. of AdS_5 twistors.Comment: 11 pp, 1 figur

William Fowler Fonds

William Claus (1765-1826) was a son of Christian Daniel Claus and Ann (Nancy) Johnson. Ann Johnson was the daughter of Sir William Johnson. William Claus was deputy superintendent general for Upper Canada in the Indian Department. It was in this role that he created the ledger book extent detailing the transactions with the Haudenosaunee of the Six Nations of the Grand River. He and his wife Catherine Jordan resided in Niagara-on-the-Lake at their home known as “The Wilderness”. Warren Claus (1805-1880), a barrister was second son of William Claus and Catherine Jordan. He married Alice Jane Johnson and had daughters Catherine Anne Margaret and Ellen (aka Nellie / Eleanor). Catherine Anne Margaret Claus (1856-1917) was the daughter of Warren Claus and Alice Jane Johnson, and granddaughter of William Claus and Catherine Jordan. She married William Henry Johnston Evans, a coal merchant, in 1906 and resided in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. until her death. W.H.J. Evans, a widower, had five children, Avarine Maude, Ethel C., Madge H., William Henry Johnston Jr., and Laura Beatrice. Catherine and W.H.J. Evans lived at the Claus home “The Wilderness” for a time until it was sold. Edward (1860-1941) and Annie (Wilson) (1859-1931) Patterson were residents of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. Edward continued in the bakery business established by his father Edward (aka Ned), but later worked at various other occupations. It is understood that through Annie Wilson Patterson’s mother, Maria Wilson (maiden name unknown) that the family was connected to the Claus and Johnson families. A notation appears in The Book of Common Prayer,: Nellie & Kate Claus lived in Wilderness. Cousins of Ann (nee Wilson) Patterson, Grandma of Dorothy Fowler, Great Grandma of William Fowler Grace Patterson (1883-1961) and Maria Johnson Patterson (1895-1975) were daughters of Edward and Annie Patterson. Grace was married to William Riddell (1875-1936) and Maria (aka Myrtle, Aunt Mert) was married to Edmund Richardson (1897-1942). Dorothy Grace Riddell (1906-1994) married Harold Fowler (1901-1976) of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. The Fowler family resided in a home on Prideaux Street. William Edgar Fowler was their only child. William (Bill) Edgar Fowler (1931-2019) was a lifelong resident of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. He volunteered as a firefighter and ambulance attendant for 35 years. He coached hockey and baseball, was an umpire and king scout, was an avid golfer and enjoyed fishing. William Fowler retired from NOTL Hydro in 1997 after 41 years of service. These family records were retained by William Fowler and his family until 2018 when they were donated to the Brock University Archives.The fonds consists of one ledger book belonging to William Claus, deputy superintendent general for Upper Canada in the Indian Department. The ledger book details financial arrangements conducted between the government and the Haudenosaunee of the Six Nations of the Grand River. Also included is the scrapbook of Catherine Anne Margaret Claus Evans, a granddaughter of William Claus and his wife Catherine Jordan, 1870; an unidentified scrapbook from the early 20th century, three small religious books, 14 postcards of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., including Niagara Camp, Masonic and Eastern Star commemoratives, and World War II ration books and tokens

New record of Hyachelia tortugae Barnard, 1967, an amphipod epibiont on green turtles Chelonia mydas (LINNAEUS, 1758) from Gorgona island (colombian pacific)

Objetivos: Caracterizar los anfípodos recolectados en lavados esofágicos de la tortuga verde Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758). Alcance: Incremento de la caracterización de la diversidad de un grupo poco estudiado, pero de gran importancia en ambientes bentónicos, en Colombia. Metodología: Los anfípodos fueron recolectados a partir de lavados esofágicos realizados a 77 juveniles de tortuga verde entre febrero y diciembre 2012 en Isla Gorgona, Pacífico Colombiano. Principales resultados: Se reporta por primera vez para el Pacífico Colombiano el anfípodo Hyachelia tortugae Barnard, 1967, una especie que se encuentra exclusivamente como epibionte de tortugas marinas. Se registraron tres individuos en total de H. tortugae en dos de las tortugas analizadas. Adicionalmente, los anfípodos hipéridos Paralycaea gracilis Claus, 1879, Schizoscelus ornatus Claus, 1879 y Parascelus sp. fueron registrados en los contenidos esofágicos de las tortugas. Conclusiones: Este trabajo resalta la necesidad de implementarestudios sistemáticos que permitan caracterizar la fauna asociada a tortugas marinas en el Pacífico colombiano.Objectives: Characterize the amphipods collected in esophageal lavages of the green turtle Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758). Scope: Increase the characterization of diversity of a poorly known group, but of great importance in benthic environments, in Colombia. Methodology: Amphipods were collected from esophageal lavages carried out on 77 green turtles between February and December 2012 at Gorgona Island, Colombian Pacific. Main results: We report the occurrence of the amphipod Hyachelia tortugae Barnard, 1967, a species that lives exclusively as an epibiont of sea turtles, for the first time for the Colombian Pacific. Three H. tortugae individuals occurred in two of the analyzed turtles. The hyperiid amphipods Paralycaea gracilis Claus, 1879, Schizoscelus ornatus Claus, 1879, and Parascelus sp. were also collected in the esophageal contents of the turtles. Conclusions: This study highlights that systematic studies should be carried out to characterize the associated fauna in sea turtles in the Colombian Pacific

Low Quality Natural Gas Sulfur Removal and Recovery CNG Claus Sulfur Recovery Process

Increased use of natural gas (methane) in the domestic energy market will force the development of large non-producing gas reserves now considered to be low quality. Large reserves of low quality natural gas (LQNG) contaminated with hydrogen sulfide (H{sub 2}S), carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) and nitrogen (N) are available but not suitable for treatment using current conventional gas treating methods due to economic and environmental constraints. A group of three technologies have been integrated to allow for processing of these LQNG reserves; the Controlled Freeze Zone (CFZ) process for hydrocarbon / acid gas separation; the Triple Point Crystallizer (TPC) process for H{sub 2}S / C0{sub 2} separation and the CNG Claus process for recovery of elemental sulfur from H{sub 2}S. The combined CFZ/TPC/CNG Claus group of processes is one program aimed at developing an alternative gas treating technology which is both economically and environmentally suitable for developing these low quality natural gas reserves. The CFZ/TPC/CNG Claus process is capable of treating low quality natural gas containing >10% C0{sub 2} and measurable levels of H{sub 2}S and N{sub 2} to pipeline specifications. The integrated CFZ / CNG Claus Process or the stand-alone CNG Claus Process has a number of attractive features for treating LQNG. The processes are capable of treating raw gas with a variety of trace contaminant components. The processes can also accommodate large changes in raw gas composition and flow rates. The combined processes are capable of achieving virtually undetectable levels of H{sub 2}S and significantly less than 2% CO in the product methane. The separation processes operate at pressure and deliver a high pressure (ca. 100 psia) acid gas (H{sub 2}S) stream for processing in the CNG Claus unit. This allows for substantial reductions in plant vessel size as compared to conventional Claus / Tail gas treating technologies. A close integration of the components of the CNG Claus process also allow for use of the methane/H{sub 2}S separation unit as a Claus tail gas treating unit by recycling the CNG Claus tail gas stream. This allows for virtually 100 percent sulfur recovery efficiency (virtually zero SO{sub 2} emissions) by recycling the sulfur laden tail gas to extinction. The use of the tail gas recycle scheme also deemphasizes the conventional requirement in Claus units to have high unit conversion efficiency and thereby make the operation much less affected by process upsets and feed gas composition changes. The development of these technologies has been ongoing for many years and both the CFZ and the TPC processes have been demonstrated at large pilot plant scales. On the other hand, prior to this project, the CNG Claus process had not been proven at any scale. Therefore, the primary objective of this portion of the program was to design, build and operate a pilot scale CNG Claus unit and demonstrate the required fundamental reaction chemistry and also demonstrate the viability of a reasonably sized working unit

Santa and the moon

Happy end-of-the-year evening and night events provide good opportunities to explain the phases of the moon. The need for such moon phase education is once again demonstrated, through an investigation of illustrations on Santa Claus and Christmas gift wrap and in children's books, in two countries which have been important in shaping the image of Santa Claus and his predecessor Sinterklaas: The Netherlands and the USA. The moon on Halloween illustrations is also considered. The lack of knowledge concerning the physical origin of the moon phases, or lack of interest in understanding, is found to be widespread in The Netherlands but is also clearly present in the USA, and is quite possibly global. Definitely incomplete, but surely representative lists compiling both scientifically correct and scientifically incorrect gift wrap and children's books are also presented.Comment: Text, plus 4 figures and 4 tables; to appear in vol.12 of the Communicating Astronomy to the Public Journal (December 2011
