The Footnote, in Theory

And, so, when Richard Stern published his private dialogue with himself about the physical appearance of certain writers at the 1986 International PEN conference, Joyce Carol Oates insisted on not only an angry rebuttal-punctuated by constant page referencing to Stern\u27s pig-souled sexism -but photographic evidence-a kind of footnote in itself-dismissing his physical characterization of her. When Susan Gubar published What Ails Feminist Criticism? her essay provoked an immediate, critical, and heavily documented response from Robyn Weigman, several letters to the editor, and Gubar\u27s own footnoted rejoinder. Jane Gallop\u27s defense of a sexual act she engaged in with one of her students and Paul de Man\u27s controversial writings in a Belgian newspaper in the thirties (which, incidentally, resulted in a marked decline in the number of times he was cited in our pages) generated similar feelings of anger, disgust, and betrayal, all accompanied by footnotes. This journal, in fact, argues that passion is not diminished when it is superscripted. In point of fact this apparent function may nearly always be associated with such diverse functions as the manifestation of relations of allegiance or dependence, of strategies of affiliation, of annexation or of defence (this is the role, for example, of guarantee references, ostentatious references or alibi-references)

Flood protection at culvert outlets

CER69-70DBS-MAS-FJW4.Includes bibliographical references (pages 59-60).Prepared for Wyoming State Highway Department, Planning and Research Division in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Bureau of Public Roads.In this study several classes of information concerning flood protection at culvert outlets are presented. The information is related to the flow conditions at culvert outfalls and to the hydraulics of rigid basins and outlet basins stabilized with rock riprap. In addition, the characteristics of high tailwater and non-scouring, low tailwater basins are covered. In this report it is intended that a hydraulic engineer can take the information contained in the text, examples, illustrations, and figures and apply it toward the design of an energy dissipator of maximum effectiveness. The data on which the report is based were gathered mostly during an experimental program at Colorado State University. In some cases, adequate data were available from other sources. Where such information was needed, it was incorporated into the report

Isotopic analysis of faunal material from South Uist, Western Isles, Scotland

This paper reports on the results from stable isotope analysis of faunal bone collagen from a number of Iron Age and later sites on the island of South Uist, in the Western Isles, Scotland. This preliminary investigation into the isotopic signatures of the fauna is part of a larger project to model the interaction between humans, animals, and the broader environment in the Western Isles. The results demonstrate that the island fauna data fall within the range of expected results for the UK, with the terrestrial herbivorous diets of cattle and sheep confi rmed. The isotopic composition for pigs suggests that some of these animals had an omnivorous diet, whilst a single red deer value might be suggestive of the consumption of marine foods, such as by grazing on seaweed. However, further analysis is needed in order to verify this anomalous isotopic ratio
