Norse Mythology

This chapter presents a case study of one myth that we have from pictorial sources in the Viking Age, from poems almost certainly composed in the Viking Age, and from thirteenth-century sources, namely the encounter between the god Þórr (Thor) and his cosmic enemy, the World serpent, a beast that encircles the earth, in the deep sea. In this myth, Þórr fishes up the serpent, and depending on the variant, Þórr may or may not kill the serpent. I present and analyze the texts in more or less chronological order, from the older skalds through the Eddic poem Hymiskviða, through Snorri Sturluson in Edda, and compare the texts to the rock carvings that portray the myth. I argue that the issue of the death or survival of the serpent is less important than the simple fact that Þórr had the serpent on his hook.

Dry Ports

Seaports participate in hinterland economic development through partnerships with dry ports, and the combined seaport-dry port network serves as the backbone of regional logistics. This paper constructs a location-allocation model for the regional seaport-dry port network optimization problem and develops a greedy algorithm and a genetic algorithm to obtain its solution. This model is applicable to situations under which the geographic distribution of demand is known. A case study involving configuration of dry ports near the west bank of the Taiwan Strait is conducted, and the model is successfully applied.

Abstract Hemipelagic green clayey shales and thin muddy turbidites accumulated in a deep sea environment below the CCD in the Skole Basin, a part of the Outer Carpathian realm, during the Middle Cenomanian. The hemipelagites contain numerous radiolarians, associated with deep-water agglutinated foraminifera. These sediments accumulated under mesotrophic conditions with limited oxygen concentration. Short-term periodic anoxia also occurred during that time. Muddy turbidity currents caused deposition of siliciclastic and biogenic material, including calcareous foramini-fers and numerous sponge spicules. The preservation and diversity of the spicules suggests that they originate from disarticulation of moderately diversified sponge assemblages, which lived predominantly in the neritic-bathyal zone. Analyses of radiolarian ecological groups and pellets reflect the water column properties during the sedimentation of green shales. At that time, surface and also intermediate waters were oxygenated enough and sufficiently rich in nutri-ents to enable plankton production. Numerous, uncompacted pellets with nearly pristine radiolarian skeletons inside show that pelletization was the main factor of radiolarian flux into the deep basin floor. Partly dissolved skeletons indicate that waters in the Skole Basin were undersaturated in relation to silica content. Oxygen content might have been depleted in the deeper part of the water column causing periodic anoxic conditions which prevent rapid bacterial degra-dation of the pellets during their fall to the sea floor.

Resumen:Este artículo describe los fenómenos lingüísticos -desde el punto de vista lexicográfico- de la lengua especializada que utilizan los pescadores del estado de Sonora. Mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario que rebasa las 390 preguntas y con la utilización del método de "palabras y cosas", se explora exhaustivamente el léxico pesquero de once poblaciones -puertos de altura y campamentos- sonorenses y se comparan entre sí con el objeto de hallar la extensión real y la vitalidad de cada uno de los términos marinos; asimismo, y con los mismos objetivos, se contrasta la nómina obtenida con otros sitios de México, América y España. El léxico patrimonial sonorense puede ser vislumbrado así a la luz de los contrastes que se establecen entre éste y las otras formas usadas por los pescadores del vasto mundo hispánico. De las múltiples denominaciones propias de la actividad pesquera y al tratarse de una muestra, se expone únicamente un filón de nueve centros de interés -el mar, meteorología, los astros, geomorfología, navegación y maniobras, jarcias, embarcaciones y construcción naval, artes de pesca y el comercio- de los diez en los que está dividido el cuestionario.Palabras clave : fenómenos lingüísticos; pescadores; léxico patrimonial; actividad pesquera; mundo hispánico. Abstract:This article describes the linguistic phenomena -from the lexicographical viewpoint- of the specialized language used by fishermen of the State of Sonora. By applying a questionnaire with more than 390 questions and by using the "words and things" method, the fishermen's vocabularies from eleven Sonora towns, deep sea ports and camps, are thoroughly explored and compared to each other in order to find the real extent and vitality of each of the "sea" words. Likewise, and with the same objectives, the list obtained is compared to other places in Mexico, America and Spain. The Sonora's patrimonial vocabulary can be glimpsed in the light of the contrasts between this vocabulary and the other forms used by fishermen around the immense Hispanic world. From the numerous denominations characteristic of the fishing activity, and since it's a sample, only nine focuses of attention are analyzed: the sea, meteorology, the stars, geomorphology, navigation and maneuvers, rigging, vessels and shipbuilding industry, nets, and trade.Key words: linguistic phenomena; fishermen; patrimonial vocabulary; fishing activity; Hispanic world.
