  • Description: The study of the ionosphere over the sunrise period is necessary for an understanding of the vtiriations in layer structure with time and has been a topic of research of many workers. On the whole these investigations have been restricted to a study of critical frequency variations with relatively short intervals of a few minutes between successive records, of N-h curves deduced from ionograms with long intervals (15 minutes or so) between successive N-h curves or of continuously monitored single frequency reflections. Not one of the three techniques is entirely satisfactory for a detailed study of ionospheric behaviour over sunrise. The first two do not give a sufficiently clear indication of what happens in the initial stages of layer development, while from the third incomplete data is obtained as to what is happening at a specific electron-density level. For this reason a preliminary investigation of the ionosphere over sunrise was made at Rhodes University during August, 1959. The records were obtained at four-and-a-half minute intervals and scaled by the method of KELSO (1952 ). "Many of t he results were inconclusive but it appeared that records would have to be taken at approximately one minute intervals and reduced to N-h curves by a scaling technique which made full allowance for low-level ionization if useful results were to be obtained. An attempt has been made in this thesis to investigate the behaviour of the ionosphere over sunrise more fully than can be done by the three techniques referred to. A number of observed phenomena are also examined. Part I deals with the theoretical background to ionosphere physics in general and describes the equipment, equipment modifications and experimental procedure. Part II presents the results obtained. The records for a largescale travelling disturbance are analysed. Various observed phenomena are described and discussed. A simple method of obtaining production rates from experimental data is described. The implications of the observed variations of production rates with height and time are discussed. Suggestions for further research and improvement of the methods used arc made in Charter 9.

Industrial development in a border area: facts and figures from East London

  • Authors: Barker, John Percy
  • Date: 1964
  • Subjects: Industrialization , East London (South Africa) -- Industries
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MA
  • Identifier: vital:1078 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1009504 , Industrialization , East London (South Africa) -- Industries
  • Description: In the early 1950's the area of the eastern Cape Province adjoining the Transkei was the object of an intensive study known as the Border Regional Survey and five volumes have already been published. This work is a more detailed investigation of one aspect of the economy, namely the growth of manufacturing industry. Its importance lies in the fact that not only is the African population increasing rapidly, but that effective rehabilitation of peasant farming in the Transkei and Ciskei must necessarily displace large numbers from the land. Expansion of manufacturing industry would appear to be the most effective means of providing remunerative employment for these people. Moreover, the government has embarked upon a policy of encouraging the establishment of factories on the periphery of the Bantu areas, and the eastern Cape is an important area in this general scheme. It may well be the most crucial testing point of the whole policy of 'border industries', because with its large Transkeian hinterland it is the area most in need of expanding employment opportunities; but, at the same time, by reason of locational and other disabilities, it is the area in which industrial expansion may be most difficult to achieve.

An investigation of the role of conflict in the stratificationary process of the African in the copper mining industry of Northern Rhodesia between the years, 1943-1961

  • Description: The aim of this study is to investigate the role of CONFLICT in the stratificationary process of the African in the Copper Mining Industry of Northern Rhodesia between the years 1943 - 1961. The hypothesis and assumptions which it is desired to prove can be classified as falling into four categories: 1. that which accepts human beings as individuals acting in group structures, each group having its appropriate goals and ends forming discernable patterned action systems; 2. that these groups can be reconstructed to show variable patterns of action which might be either accommodative or initially contradictory as conflicts emerge within the system; 3. that items 1 and 2 above can be objectivised by empirical materials and that they change in time, and, in so doing, are modified in structure-functional relations; 4. that conflict is the process which animates the patterns and prescribes new goals and ends within the patterned activity systems. An indefinite number of causality factors are possible in explaining social change, but we confine ourselves to the concept CONFLICT, with special reference to the Copperbelt of Northern Rhodesia. The economic factors operating, together with the political and social factors, producing a typical stratification of the African in the industry, sofar as this reveals changing patterns of progressive and aggressive goal thrusts and redefinition of the social positions of the contesting participants, are dealt with in the appropriate sections of this investigation. The model has been developed in relation to the study of the total social system with special emphasis on their overtly political and economical aspects. Part 1, in its entirety, deals with the theory of conflict. It also contains our own development of the theme. The empirical data are contained in parts 2, 3, with a section on envisaged future social developments. The conclusion, to this investigation, forms the last part , with an exhaustive testing of the TEN-POINT HYPOTHESIS given at the end of Part 1.

The meaning and connotation of the root [Hebrew characters] in the Old Testament

  • Language: English

  • Description: In Chapter One, mention is made of certain features of Old Testament study which should be kept in view in any study such as this. e.g. The Old Testament is a book about God and His relation to man. It is essentially practical in its thought. The conception of Corporate Personality was very fully developed in Israel, and needs to be borne in mind, particularly for an understanding of pre-exilic Israel. Then, too, the Old Testament Is not homogenous in thought, but is virtually a library of books by different authors, written at different times, and in different circumstances. Chapter Two begins with a brlef survey of the relation of the Hebrew root [Hebrew characters] to other Semitic languages with basic connotations. ThIs is followed by a long and detailed analysis of the use of the root [Hebrew characters] in the Old Testament. In this section, the use of the various grammatical forms - the Verb (Qal, Pi'ēl and Riph'îl), Adjective and Noun, are examined with reference to men and animals, in their metaphorical use and in certain set phrases. Throughout an attempt is made, according the context, to differentiate between its use with the following connotations: being animated, purely physical existence, activity, revival from ill- health, revival from death, and general prosperIty and welfare. The section is concluded with a brief analysis of some words used as parallels to the root [Hebrew characters]. Bearing in mind that the main purpose of this thesis is to try to discover whether, as used in the Old Testament, the root has any deeper significance, an examination is made in Chapter Three of its use in the context of various relationships. After touching briefly on relationships of animals, a detailed study is made of relationships entered into by man; first in a general sense and then more specifically in the context of Election, Covenant, Cultus and Holy Places, as governed by the Torah and finally, as enjoined by Wisdom teachlng. Although relationships between men and other men, and between men and animals, are discussed, the main emphasis is always on the relationship between man and God. The conclusion drawn is that the root [Hebrew characters] is used to denote an intimate relationship between God and man - a relationship though, in which God is by far the more senior partner. Chapter Four is a brief study of the development of a belief in an After-Life in the Old Testament, emphasizing only those aspects which are relevant to the purpose of this Thesis. A brief description of early beliefs in an After-Life is followed by a discussion of tho Prophetic influence and the resistance to any such belief until after the Exile. Post-exilic developments, which took the Hebrews almost to the point of belief in a life after death, are discussed under the headings: "The Problem of Reward and Retribution" and "The Religious need for God". Finally a brief examination is made of the two late passages in the Old Testament where definite reference is made to a life after death. The Root, [Hebrew characters], it is concluded, is used to describe the deepest of all experiences of men - everlasting fellowship with God.

The use of certain myths in the work of T.S. Eliot

  • Description: T.S. Eliot's statement that myth is an ordering device in literature 'is constantly belied by his use of myth in his own poems'. This is the belief of the American critic Richard Chase, noted for his work on myths and mythological themes in English and American literature. Whether or not Chase is right must emerge from the chapters which follow. The purpose will be to examine the effects of the use of myths and mythological patterns on Eliot's work in general, rather than to annotate individual mythological allusions. Simply to recognise an allusion is to raise a question, not to answer one: for we have then to decide what the writer hope to achieve by its use, and whether or not he has succeeded. Unless they lead on to such questions, lists of sources contribute little to our understanding of a work. Far more important than incidental allusions are the mythological themes and patterns on the larger scale, which reveal themselves in recurrent allusions and in basic patterns of symbolism. Again, merely to recognise such a pattern is inadequate: in every case a discovery of its function in both the poem's (or play's) structure and the poet's technique should be our main concern. ... Eliot himself has made it clear that in his case the use of myths and mythological patterns has often been a fully conscious, even self-conscious process. Therefore we may apply to his work the questions mention by Norman: what functions the myths fulfil within individual works; and why Eliot uses them in the first place. This last question leads us back to a more fundamental one; why do many writers, especially modern ones, use myths 'in the first place'? The problem involves discussion of the relation between myths and literature and of the nature of myths themselves, this forms the material of the first chapter. The other chapters will deal with some of Eliot's works, attempting to explain and analyse his use of myths in them, and to illustrate its importance in each case.

  • Description: In November 1963 the inhabitants of the Transkeian Territories, the largest block of Bantu reserve in the Republic of South Africa, went to the polls to elect representatives for a Legislative Assembly, upon whom the responsibility for the government of this, the first so-called ‘Bantustan’ to achieve a limited form of self-government, is to be laid. The election was the culminating point in a series of changes in the administrative structure of the area which have been characterized by an emphasis on the institution of chieftainship as the basis of local government. After approximately 60 years of rule through magistrates (later supplemented by a system of district councils) the Bantu Authorities Act of 1955 was introduced, giving greatly enhanced powers to the Chiefs, who now became the heads of the tribally-structured Bantu Authorities.

  • Description: Field work and mapping with the aid of aerial photographs have shown the north Gap Dyke to be a vertical intrusion 93½ miles long . It extends from a point about 4½ miles south of Cathcart to the coast where it enters the sea about 100 yards north of the Ngadla R lver mouth. It is composed of several rock types including dolerite pegmatite, granophyric dolerite, subophitic dolerite, and it has a more or less central core of mobilized sediment at the western end. The essential minerals of the dolerite types include zoned plagioclase, which is described in some detail, and augite. Less important are hornblende and micropegmatite. Accessories include apatite, ilmenite, magnetite, quartz, actinolite, prehnite, calcite and epidote. Iddingsite (?), saussurite and chlorite occur as alteration products. The mode of origin of the Gap Dyke magma remains an open question: it may have arisen as a result of normal crystal fractionation or as the result of hybridization in depth followed by differentiation.

  • Description: Christian disunity, as has been shown by Rouse and Neill, has been a major problem in the Church from the time of its inception. In Apostolic times Paul had to face serious dissension at Corinth and elsewhere. The great councils of the 4th and 5th centuries were convened to settle doctrinal disputes. The schism between Eastern and Western Christianity, which finally became permanent at about the end of the 12th century, was the result of thoroughgoing doctrinal as well as cultural differences. At the Reformation, Christianity was again drastically divided and between the 16th and 19th centuries,divisions were greatly multiplied. Chap. 1, p. 1.
