Confrontations with Colonialism: Resistance, Revivalism and Reform under British Rule in Sri Lanka 1796-1920, vol 1

(First paragraph) In one of the most challenging and thought-provoking history books published in Sri Lanka in the last decade, P. V. J. Jayasekera has used a wide variety of sources to challenge a number of existing interpretations relating to Sri Lanka under British colonial rule in the nineteenth century. While the book is based partly on his own doctoral dissertation completed in 1970, in Jayasekera’s own words “The scope and the foci of the original study have been substantially changed” (p. ix) in view of new theoretical approaches in the study of colonial history and the debates on history arising out of the recent ethnic conflict. Jayasekera has also carefully taken into account historical study of indigenous social and cultural movements”, even in the third volume of the University of Ceylon: History of Ceylon in 1973, most of the space is “devoted to elaborate institutional development formulations of British rulers” and policy (p. xxv). This work, research on Sri Lanka published in the long period since he completed his dissertation. Readers should note that despite the title, Jayasekera has consciously avoided any attempt “to cover the confrontations of the Sri Lankan Tamil society with colonialism” (p. xxvii) and that, with the exception of brief references in the concluding section, information on Muslim-Buddhist relations will come to us only in the forthcoming second volume

Power-law statistics and stellar rotational velocities in the Pleiades

In this paper we will show that, the non-gaussian statistics framework based on the Kaniadakis statistics is more appropriate to fit the observed distributions of projected rotational velocity measurements of stars in the Pleiades open cluster. To this end, we compare the results from the $\kappa$ and $q$-distributions with the Maxwellian.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure

Danos de tripes em ficus sp. no Amapá.

As plantas do gênero Ficus (Moraceae) vêm despertando significativo interesse paisagístico, sendo utilizadas na ornamentação de logradouros públicos e residências (Fig. 1). Isso ocorre, principalmente, porque apresentam uma copa densa, proporcionando ótimo sombreamento, além da capacidade de ser modelada, assumindo a forma desejada pelo proprietário. No entanto, a espécie tem um poder de enraizamento muito grande, sendo suas raízes grossas e profundas. Assim, podem invadir e estourar tubulações de esgoto, abalar os alicerces das casas e deformar as calçadas...bitstream/item/11860/1/ComuTec_2006_121.pd
