Behind them, in the background, lies the city of Antwerp. The monkeys are red-capped mangabeys and, due to Antwerp's status as a port city, were probably taken from their natural habitat by animal traders.

Simultaneously paralleling and reinventing the meaning of the monkeys in Gentile's work, Bruegel used the chained monkeys to symbolize the follies of men and how they chain themselves and each other, according to art critic Kelly Grovier.

It is conceded that Evans made substantial progress establishing a legal and organisational framework as well as a national library service with a number of libraries aimed at both adults and children. She is particularly noted for her opposition to the established missionary and colonial educationalists in their selection of books aimed at children, arguing that the children's titles \"would have depressed any children's library\". Evans also spent five years in Ghana persuading everyone that they needed a \"proper library\" system, but that definition was never defined. Evans assumed that the country needed a library system identical to the one she had seen in Britain.

It was used especially by the sampan-men, or \"Orang Laut\" (lit. \"sea people\"). Historically, they can be found in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. This type of boat was used by Malay people as racing boat and as transport boat. The sampan panjang appeared at the first quarter of the 19th century, and disappeared at the turn of that century. These boats proved to be superior than European boats in racing purposes; they were easy winners when racing against the European yachts of that time. Etymology. The name sampan panjang comes from the Malay words \"sampan\", meaning boat, and \"panjang\", meaning long; thus, the name means \"long boat\". The term sampan might be derived from Chinese sam-pan or san-pan, or conversely the Chinese term might be derived from Malay or another Austronesian language. It is also called perahu panjang, since the words \"sampan\" and \"perahu\" in Malay language are synonymous. History. The first record of sampan panjangs comes from Singapore Chronicle for Thursday, 15 May 1834. It describes a rowing match between 4 Malay sampans and boats from three vessels lying in the roads, which as usual was"}, {"text": "won easily by the Malays. A book by G. W. Earl from 1837 provides an early description of the sampan panjang. At that time the boat was 30 ft (9 m) long and 4 ft (1.2 m) wide. It had two masts with large lateens, loose-footed dipping lugsails. It was steered using a long, diamond-shaped paddle, which could also be used to increase speed. It carried five crewmen. Some years later the Sultan of Lingga acquired a fine sailing sampan panjang, ordered from Trengganu, which had a long and most successful racing career. In 1839 he challenged the fastest of the European yachts in the settlement to a race for $500 a side. The challenge was accepted by the owner of the \"Maggie Lauder\", a well-known boat in her day. They followed the New Years Day regatta course, which then covered about 14 miles, and the Malay boat came in with the \"Maggie\" still seven miles from the finishing line. Dr. Berncastle in 1850 describes the sampan panjang as very light boats and was elegant in shape. He notes that the sampans were propelled by paddles or lateen sails made of mats. The latter also appear in Gray's engraving of"}, {"text": "the Singapore water front, and would seem to have been in fairly general use from this period onwards, if not earlier. Development of the sampan panjang continued during the third quarter of the century. The lines became finer, the hull rather longer, and a bowsprit was added to set a headsail: a light rudder was also introduced in this period, and occasionally passenger boats were built with \"counter\" type stern or narrow transom. The sampan panjang started to decline after the first wharf of Tanjong Pagar came into operation in 1866. The opening of the Suez canal made many steamers flood the area of the sampan panjang, which resulted in the decrease of their number. Mitman (1923: p. 258) writes rather condescendingly of the maker of sampan panjang: By the last quarter of the century it was being made with hull lengths of 40 ft. (12.2 m) and over, and some example had 3 masts. Such boats were expensive to build and maintain. They required crews, with some experience, of 20\u201325 men for racing purposes, but the hull and yards were beyond the means of a Malay kampong which alone could have produced the men on an amateur basis.

The size of the crew required to man them, the ease with which they shipped water and the lack of finish inside the hull, made them useless for cruising purposes. By the middle 1880s there were probably less than ten serviceable racing hulls afloat. In 1885 only two were entered for their class in the annual New Years Day regatta compared to 37 of the previous twenty year. According to Buckley, by 1902, only four were still in commission in Johnston's pier, and even these did not last until the beginning of the first world war. By this time the racing sampan itself had also been outmoded, and its place taken by the lighter kolek Johore, which as the Johore racing kolek remains the most prominent feature of all local regattas."}, {"text": "Ra Yoon-soo (, born 20 August 1962) is a South Korean speed skater.

It was designed and developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in the early 1990s in order to demonstrate the capabilities of an airborne SAR for foliage and ground penetration. However, since conducting accurate, repeatable measurements on an airborne platform was both challenging and expensive, the railSAR was built on the rooftop of a four-story building within the Army Research Laboratory compound along a 104-meter laser-leveled track. At the time, the railSAR fell into the highest category of UWB radar systems, operating across a 950 MHz-wide band from 40 MHz to 1 GHz on a pulse strength of 2.5 megawatts. It provided fully polarimetric, high resolution radar data and possessed 185% bandwidth compared to other radar systems that had less than 25% bandwidth. Applications of the railSAR technology range from military uses such as detecting landmines and stationary targets in hiding for reconnaissance purposes to commercial uses, including cable and pipe detection, oil and water table measurements, and environmental remediation. Development. The development of the railSAR began"}, {"text": "in 1988 as part of an exploratory research program that aimed to create technology that could detect targets camouflaged or hidden by trees and foliage cover. While early efforts faced considerable challenges, advancements in analog-to-digital (A/D) converter technology, source technology, and signal-processing power allowed ARL researchers to produce a realizable system and grasp a better understanding of foliage and ground penetrating radar. Attention was focused particularly on analyzing the basic phenomenology of impulse radar, especially the propagation effects of targets, clutter, and targets embedded in clutter. The railSAR had four 1,35 m (4,5 ft) long, linear 200-ohm TEM horn antennas, two for transmitting and two for receiving, mounted on a rotating, non-conducting frame that was anchored on a hinged plate constructed out of aluminum honeycomb and covered in anechoic foam. The two transmit antennas were linearly polarized at \u00b145 degrees, and the two receive antennas had a low noise preamp and a PIN diode receiver protector. The design of the antenna was originally produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). An additional 0.5 meters of resistively loaded parallel plate section on the radiating end of the antennas improved the return loss at the high frequencies by absorbing"}, {"text": "some of the energy at the open aperture. An impulse transmitter behind the antenna assembly served to charge the antenna as well as discharge the antenna by using a hydrogen-pressured reed capsule to form the transmitted pulse. An ARL-designed programmable gate-array-based system known as the timing and control (T&C) circuit provided drive signals to the transmitters and the receiver protectors. It also served to effectively reduce interference from other transmitters while also making sure to minimize interference to nearby receivers. Two computers passed GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) commands to the two Tektronix DSA602A digital oscilloscopes to measure the time between the trigger and the A/D clock edges and store the data on magneto-optical rewritable disks. The master computer controlled the movement of the cart on which the antennas were mounted. In 1995, the design of the railSAR was incorporated into the development of the boomSAR in an effort to produce a mobile, high signal-to-noise radar. By 2016, the railSAR had been moved from the rooftop of the building to an indoor facility and had been subjected to several weight reductions and redesigns. Operation. In general, radar systems perform foliage and ground penetration more effectively with lower frequencies, because longer"}, {"text": "wavelengths can penetrate opaque structures deeper than shorter wavelengths. But in exchange for greater penetration capabilities, the lower frequencies provide a lower image resolution. Ultra-wideband radar is able to overcome this limitation in resolution by transmitting extremely narrow pulses, hence \u201cimpulse,\u201d to obtain a sufficiently wide bandwidth. However, pulse shortness comes at the cost of peak power, so much so that the peak power per frequency drops below the threshold of frequency selective receivers. While the low power makes it difficult for eavesdroppers to detect the signal, the disadvantage of this trade-off manifests as significant increases in processing cost. In order to reliably receive a UWB signal given such low power per frequency, the UWB radar system must either open itself to noise with the use of a high sampling rate receiver, incorporate signal average which lowers the data rate, or increase to high signal transmit power which presents interference to other receivers. In addition, a wider bandwidth may increase the likelihood of false alarms. However, the combination of low frequency and high resolution present in UWB radars proved to be extremely desirable for foliage and ground penetration, in which the increased bandwidth presented a distinct advantage over its costs."}, {"text": "In an effort to attain the necessary frequencies for adequate penetration while balancing the processing costs associated with ultra-wideband, the railSAR was designed to identify mine clusters over very large areas rather than detect each individual mine hidden in the soil and foliage. The railSAR was initially constructed to look north over the north parking lot of the ARL compound as its target area, which was mainly populated by deciduous trees. The radar system required about 80 hours to collect one complete aperture of high-resolution, fully polarimetric data. Its peak power was at 500 kW with a pulse repetition frequency of 40 Hz, and the average transmitted power was about 20 mW. Creating the radar image required the railSAR to limit the Fourier processing to very small patches within the image area. Despite its use of low-frequency signals, the railSAR was capable of achieving high resolution by moving along the rail and transmitting and receiving returns in the direction perpendicular to the line of motion along the rail. During performance analysis tests, the railSAR achieved a recognition probability of 90 percent with a relatively low false-alarm rate.

The story, set in the midst of the on-going Korean War, is considered to be one of the writer\u2019s major works. It deals with the conflict and reconciliation between maternal and paternal grandmothers, whose sons chose different ideologies. The story mourns the pains of the war while expecting a bright future. Title. \"The Rainy Spell\" is a title and the time when the story takes place. In Korea, \"jangma\" refers to a rainy season in summer, which lasts from June to July. After the period, the weather begins heating up. The rains during \"jangma\" are closely associated with how the narrative flows. \"Jangma\" starts at the beginning of the story and ends when all the conflicts are over. The rainfall is a tool showing escalating tension in the family, a metaphor for the Korean War that began in late June, and an implication that the divided Korea is not permanent but temporary. Plot.

In \u201cThe Rainy Spell\u201d, paternal and maternal grandmothers had a good relationship but becomes in conflict because of their sons\u2019 situations. Through the family\u2019s situation, the novel criticized the contradiction and violence of the Korean War. At the same time, it mourns those who died in the war, reconciles those who are in conflict and heals their sadness. Style. The story of \u201cThe Rainy Spell\u201d unfolds through the first-person narrator \u201cI\u201d. \u201cI\u201d is too young to understand the conflicts in the family caused by the Korean War. However, the boy narrator eventually grows up as he experiences events that go beyond his perception. This format was widely used in works published in the 1970s by Kim Won il, Lee Dong-ha, Park Wansuh, as well as Yun Heunggil. Given that the 1970s was a period when the ideologies of the Cold War were solidified, it seems that a child narrator, who is not bound by ideology, appeared in the works to explore new prospects to overcome the division.

His mother\u2019s side of the family lived in the house of their in-law, and his maternal uncle died during the war. Like this, \u201cThe Rainy Spell\u201d is closely related to the sensibilities of the generation who experienced the Korean War in its childhood. Critical reception. There are largely two literary themes that Yun has continuously shown interest in.

Among them, \u201cThe Rainy Spell\u201d is a major work that deals deeply with the war and division. \u201cThe Rainy Spell\u201d is judged as a work which shows the possibility of restoring ethnic homogeneity through shamanism.

There is also an interpretation that sees \u201cThe Rainy Spell\u201d as a work focusing on the pain and sorrow of the war.

The incident came in the wake of increased Soviet submarine activity in the Baltic Sea, with Sweden alleging that the Soviet Union had violated Sweden's territorial waters several times from 1974 \u2013 1981. The incident, which led to a parliamentary investigation in Sweden, resulted in increased tensions between Sweden and the Soviet Union, and the claimed intrusion of a Soviet submarine remains a contested topic. History. Background. Following the development of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union, the government of Sweden adopted a stance of armed neutrality, seeking to avoid being pulled into the direct influence of either superpower. Despite this adherence to neutrality, the vast majority of Sweden's military efforts were focused on defending against armed aggression by the Soviet Union. To this end, Sweden maintained a sizable navy, and was concerned with interdicting any foreign forces that violated Swedish territorial waters in the Baltic Sea. From 1974 to 1981, a series of incidents occurred in which"}, {"text": "the Swedish Navy claimed to have detected foreign submarines near or inside Swedish territorial waters. Most notably, in 1981 an incident occurred in which the became grounded off the coast of Karlskrona Naval Base; further inflaming tensions was the fact that the grounded submarine was well within Swedish territorial waters and possibly armed with nuclear weapons. The incident in 1981 led to heightened Swedish fears of Soviet infiltration of Swedish waters, a concern which was reflected in the Swedish navy's actions during the H\u00e5rsfj\u00e4rden incident. The incident. In 1982, the Swedish government planned to conduct an anti-submarine warfare exercise to test the nation's ability to detect and destroy foreign submarines. This exercise was planned for September 1982, and coincided with NATO military exercises in the Baltic. The complete purpose of the Swedish exercise (termed Operation NOTVARP) remains a matter of debate; some sources speculate the operation was a standard military exercise modified to respond to a false alarm, while others posit the operation was either a pre-planned attempt to entrap a foreign submarine (using unknowing American warships calling in Stockholm as bait) or an opportunistic attempt to engage a trespassing submarine. During this same time, the Swedish parliament (having been"}, {"text": "reshuffled after a series of elections) was in a state of flux, effectively leaving the nation without a government from late September to early October. On the morning of 30 September, Swedish naval units detected an unknown foreign submarine entering H\u00e5rsfj\u00e4rden Bay, where the Swedish Navy had established a hydrophone network and placed naval mines to interdict an intruding submarine. The detection of the submarine caused the Swedish Navy to scramble its forces, though disagreements on how the navy should proceed with the submarine situation delayed an armed response to the intrusion. Once a decision was reached, Swedish forces began to hunt for the submarine; between 1 October and 14 October, numerous sonar contacts and purported sightings (including the detection of an oil slick) prompted the Swedish Navy to drop depth charges, deploy minesweepers, order increased naval patrols, and attempt to seal off H\u00e5rsfj\u00e4rden Bay with a series of metal barriers. The last report of the suspect submarine dates to 14 October, though the search would continue in some capacity until 1 November. During the search, the navy found what may have been caterpillar tracks on the seabed, indicating the incident may have involved midget submarines or undersea vehicles. Identity"}, {"text": "of the intruder. At the time of the incident, most sources indicated that the intruding submarine was from the Soviet Union\u2014this general consensus has continued to the present day. Most sources cite the previous Soviet infiltrations, the length of the search, the acoustic profile of the intruder (garnered from active and passive sonar pings detected during the incident) matching a diesel-powered submarine, and the former Soviet Navy's (and later Russian Navy's) culture of secrecy and inconsistent record keeping at the time of the incident as evidence of the intruder being a Soviet submarine. Other sources have speculated the submarine was present in Sweden during late September in order to track several American warships that were docked in Stockholm and to test the resolve of the then newly-elected Swedish parliament. In the years after the incident, other sources have theorized that the submarine was from a NATO nation (likely the United States or Great Britain).

A larger double telescope with a combination of visual and astrographic refractors was installed in 1889. This had an aperture of 32 cm for photography, and a smaller 24 cm for visual work. This telescope was used in support of the \"Carte du Ciel\", international astronomical project. Other projects of the observatory include solar observations, spectroscopy, and a stellar luminosity catalog with many stars from the \"Bonner Durchmusterung\" (BD) . In the mid-1800s the principle of Doppler frequency shifting was discovered, and the next step was to apply this to changes in frequency of light, and further enhancement was achieved with photographic spectroscopy. The 30 cm Schrodeder telescope was used to take the spectrum of stars photographically, and the observatory became known for its work on stellar spectrographs. By 1892, they published a list of 52 photographic-based radial velocities from spectroscopy.

Also, while the newer 32 cm astrograph was felt to be adequate for photography, the director of the observatory was unhappy with its performance in spectroscopy. Thus planning for a larger instrument, and a building to house it was undertaken in the 1890s. In 1895 a new instrument for the observatory was approved. The overall telescope was built by Repsold. Repsold was a German optics company started by the astronomer Johann Georg Repsold, and made various optical instruments until 1919; they were based out of Hamburg. Both objectives were figured by Steinheil from glass blanks made by Schott. Steinheil was a German optics company founded by Carl August von Steinheil.

The telescope was inaugurated in August 1899 with attendance by Kaiser Wilhelm II. There was also an address by Director Vogel at the dedication. The Hartmann test was developed in response to the need to test the 80 cm objective lens, and this test became a famous way to test the optical properties of instruments in the 20th century. The telescope had a problem being used for spectroscopy and Hartmann developed the mask test to identify the issue with the main objective lens; this led to the lens being refigured to help the problem.

Mounted atop a 45-meter telescoping boom on a stable moving vehicle, the boomSAR transmits low frequency (50 to 1100 MHz) short-pulse UWB signals over the side of the vehicle to scope out a 300-meter range area starting 50 meters from the base of the boom. It travels at an approximate rate of 1 km/hour and requires a relatively flat road that is wide enough to accommodate its 18 ft-wide base. Characteristics. The boomSAR is a fully polarimetric system that transmits and receives low-frequency waveforms with over 1 gigahertz of usable bandwidth, covering a spectrum from approximately 40 MHz to 1 GHz. Its testbed radar subsystems consist of the antennae, the transmitter, the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, the processor/data storage system, the timing and control assembly, the MOCOMP subsystem, and the operator interface computer.

The down-look angles to the target typically varies from 45 degrees to 10 degrees depending on the range to the target and the height of the boom. Antennas. The boomSAR utilizes two transmitting and two receiving antennas to provide the full polarization matrix (HH, HV, VH, VV) in a quasi-monostatic sense. All four antennas are 200 W, open-sided, and resistively terminated TEM horn antennas that are about two meters long with a 0.3-meter aperture. Since the subsystems were designed specifically for low-frequency UWB SAR application, the TEM horn antennas have a wide beamwidth in excess of 90 degrees and are fitted with a high-power, wide-bandwidth balun that can handle the 2-MW peak pulse of the impulse transmitter. According to later data, this antenna/balun combination is capable of transmitting a short-pulse UWB signal with a bandwidth from 40 MHz to over 2000 MHz"}, {"text": "with a pulse repetition frequency up to 1 kHz through the four TEM horn antennas. Motion Compensation (MOCOMP) system. The boomSAR MOCOMP system consists of a computer and a geodimeter, which accounts for the motion compensation and positioning of the radar in three-dimensional space. The geodimeter consists of a robotic laser-ranging theodolite set up on one end of the aperture, a retro-reflector mounted on the boom lift platform near the antennas, and a control unit mounted on the base of the boom lift. As the retro-reflector moves with the boom lift platform, the theodolite tracks the horizontal and vertical angular positions of the retro-reflector and measures its range. The position of the retro-reflector is then transmitted to the geodimeter control unit using an FM radio link updated at a rate of 2.5 Hz. The control unit then proceeds to transmit the position information to the MOCOMP computer. Processing System. The processing system relies on a VME card-cage with a Sun SPARC 5 host and eight Intel i860-based CSPI Supercard array processors to obtain the computational power needed to presume, filter, and back-project the range profiles to form the SAR image.

Once the railSAR displayed promising results from early foliage and ground penetration field trials, plans were made to transition the railSAR technology onto a mobile platform.

At Yuma Proving Ground, the trials were held at the Steel Crater Test Site, which partly overlapped with the neighboring Phillips Drop Zone and divided the area into two sections. The section overlapping the Phillips Drop Zone featured an almost homogeneous soil layer and was virtually free of vegetation due to the soil having been turned over to a depth of about 2 feet. In contrast to the plowed section, the natural section was relatively untouched. During the test, the plowed section had more than 600 inert targets buried in the ground such as artillery shells, rockets, mortar shells, submunitions, bombs, and mines (M-20 anti-tank mines and Valmara 69 mines) as well as false targets like magnetic rocks, animal burrows, and soda cans."}, {"text": "These inert targets were buried at different depths (surface to 2 meters deep) and entry angles (0 to 90 degrees) in order to provide a comprehensive performance evaluation for the boomSAR.

The boomSAR was tasked with detecting the targets while driving down the nearby Corral Road. According to the results of the trial, the M-20 mines were visible in both frequency bands when they were placed close to the surface, those that were deeply buried could not be detected in the high frequency band. On the other hand, the Valmara 69 mines could not be detected in the low frequency band but were somewhat visible in the high band.

The reduced soil protection by vegetation cover, combined with steep slopes and erosive rainfall has led to excessive soil erosion. Nutrients and organic matter were lost and soil depth was reduced. Hence, soil erosion is an important problem, which results in low crop yields and biomass production. As a response to the strong degradation and thanks to the hard labour of many people in the villages, soil conservation has been carried out on a large scale since the 1980s and especially 1980s; this has curbed rates of soil loss.

According to them, the Chinese were judged by unfair standards and subject to broad generalizations about their character and habits. Despite the lack of proof against the threat of Chinese immigration to Canada, the report recommended moderate legislation to restrict such immigration. Background. In the 1880s, around 15,000 labourers from China came to Canada to work on the western section of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in British Columbia. When the railroad was completed in 1885, Chinese labourers entered other industries like fishing and agriculture, or worked as domestic servants, among other things. Though employers generally supported Chinese labour as it was cheap and reliable, the growing anti-Chinese sentiment and discrimination in the public sphere meant Prime Minister Macdonald could not ignore calls for the creation of anti-Chinese policies, particularly by politicians, trade unionists, and white residents. While initially refusing to introduce such regulations out of recognition for the necessity of Chinese labour for the construction of the CPR, Macdonald eventually yielded to public dissatisfaction pressure when railway construction ended.

Despite anti-Chinese sentiments growing in Canada, Chapleau and Gray did not see Chinese immigration as a hindrance to British Columbia, instead viewing their labor as necessary. They did not suggest the outright exclusion of Chinese immigrants, rather they opted for the consideration of a $10 head tax upon arrival in Canada. The commission found that the average Chinese labourer earned $300 annually and saved a modest $43 after living expenses. With the funds collected from the head taxes, the government could invest in a health inspector to be stationed at the ports of entry to examine the health of those who entered Canada, protecting against the spread of disease.

Although no longer functioning today, much of the aqueduct structure, including its water intake tower, the Fumm al-Khalig, still stands. History. The Ayyubid aqueduct. The Citadel of Cairo was a massive fortified complex and royal residence begun by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) in 1176 CE and most likely finished by al-Kamil at the beginning of the 13th century. The Citadel was the centerpiece of a new extensive defensive system for Cairo which included building a long wall around both Cairo and the older city of Fustat and connecting it to the Citadel. Salah ad-Din, or one of his Ayyubid successors, also developed the idea of bringing water from the Nile to the Citadel by building a canal along the top of this wall.

The first Mamluk aqueduct under al-Nasir Muhammad. During the Mamluk period, the Citadel was further developed by successive sultans into an even more elaborate complex, with more ambitious buildings. In particular, under Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad in the early 14th century the Citadel was expanded and several important palaces and monuments were built within and around it. In 1311 or 1312, al-Nasir Muhammad ordered the renovation and improvement of the Citadel's aqueduct. His predecessor and brother, Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil, was likely responsible for having already built the water intake tower but was likely killed before he could do more.

Along the way, al-Nasir built another tower with three more waterwheels raising the water to an even higher level, after which it continued to run along an aqueduct until it reached the foot of the citadel, at which point it was yet again raised by waterwheels in another tower. From this last tower the water then entered into the Citadel and into a reservoir known as the \"Bi'r al-Sa'b Sawaqi\" (\"Well of the Seven Waterwheels\"), inside the Citadel's Southern Enclosure (near the harem area) and southwest of the famous Spiral Well of Salah ad-Din.
