[Review of] Barry T. Klein. Reference Encyclopedia of the American Indian

First published in 1967, this is an indispensable resource for information about the current Indian population and its affairs. The title may be misleading since information about the Canadian Indian population is also provided. It does not offer any chronological history of the North American Indian complete with pictures and maps, such as Carl Waldman\u27s classical work, Atlas of the North American Indians, but instead provides a basic reference directory of current (1986) Indian activities, organizations, resources, and a who\u27s who in the Indian culture

The origin of pointing: Evidence for the touch hypothesis

Pointing gestures play a foundational role in human language, but up to now, we have not known where these gestures come from. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that pointing originates in touch. We found, first, that when pointing at a target, children and adults oriented their fingers not as though trying to create an “}arrow{” that picks out the target but instead as though they were aiming to touch it; second, that when pointing at a target at an angle, participants rotated their wrists to match that angle as they would if they were trying to touch the target; and last, that young children interpret pointing gestures as if they were attempts to touch things, not as arrows. These results provide the first substantial evidence that pointing originates in touch

The plane grating monochromator beamline U49-2 PGM-1 at BESSY II

U49/2 PGM1 is one of HZB open-port VUV beamlines. Therefore and due to the fact that it delivers highest flux with very acceptable energy resolution it is the most heavily booked BESSY II beamline. Earlier work has largely focused on surface science and catalysis. After shut down of the former U41 PGM an increasing number of experiments on liquids and solutions are carried out

Protection of Buildings against Collapse and Pulling Persons Out

Import 01/09/2009Diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou zabezpečovacích prací budov hrozící zřícením a vyprošťováním zavalených osob, a to i z improvizovaných úkrytů. Dále jsou stanoveny zásady pro požární bezpečnost v improvizovaných úkrytech.This final thesis deals with the question of protecting works on buildings. Especially buildings which are in dangerous from ruin.Then the work describes rescuing people who are under the damaged buildings or who are in damaged improvised lurking places. Principles for fire safety in improvised lurking places are characterized in this final thesis, too.Prezenční030 - Katedra požární ochrany a ochrany obyvatelstvavelmi dobř

The PM3 beamline at BESSY II

PM3 merges the developments of the former BESSY I SX700 III monochromator for elliptically polarized VUV radiation and of BESSY II collimated plane grating monochromators. This way it is possible to achieve circular polarization from a BESSY II dipole in the range 20 – 2000 eV with high photon flux, high energy resolution and high stability
