Empires of Antiquities
This is a fascinating exploration of the interaction of archaeology, British imperialism, and modernity. Based on extensive archival research as well as primary reading, Melman's study sets out to “elucidate the place that antiquity occupied” (3) in British historical and cultural life, specifically in its imperial role in the Near East. Although the interwar period is the focus, the telling of the story necessitates incursions into eras previous…
The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Archaeology
The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Archaeology brings together significant work by leading scholars of the archaeology of early Christianity in the Mediterranean and surrounding regions. The thirty-four contributions to this volume ground the history, culture, and society of the first seven centuries of Christianity in archaeological method, theory, and research. Collectively the essays emphasize the link between fieldwork, archaeological met…

Cyprus and the Balance of Empires
"Between 491 and 1191 AD, Cyprus was influenced by various political and cultural centers that vied for dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean. This collection of essays primarily focuses on the island's archaeology when it was governed by the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. Greek and Orthodox Christian identity was cultivated during this period, which provided a sense of unity among the various provinces; and yet, the surviving historical a…
A New Window on Byzantine Kourion
En 2012, le «Kourion Urban Space Project » a exploré une zone de Kourion encore vierge, au sud et à l’ouest de la «Maison du tremblement de terre » (Earthquake House). Ces fouilles ont mis en évidence une activité d’époque byzantine ancienne à un endroit où le rocher affleurait directement à l’époque romaine. Les habitants ont aménagé des niveaux d’occupation permettant de disposer de nouvelles ressources en eau (sous la forme de citernes), ainsi…
Reforming accountability in international NGOs
Home and field office staff disagreement often impedes international development NGOs (INGOs) from making their accountability systems more responsive to partner and community concerns. Drawing on a staff survey, and qualitative interviews across four country programmes, of a major INGO, three interlocking explanations for this disagreement are suggested: that staff perceive accountability practices differently because they place greater interpre…
Human Rights in Asia
The MDGs and the incomplete relationship between development and foreign aid
The literature on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is roughly divided into interest in political and economic exogenous shocks, analyses of longer term, structural impediments to meeting the MDGs by 2015, the appropriateness of the specific goals themselves to international development, and questioning the very use of a goals–targets–indicators approach to development and attempts to redirect debate towards more systemic political change. …
Foreign Aid in Australia's Relationship with the South
In identifying the determinants of Australia's foreign aid relationship with developing countries (sometimes labelled ‘the South’), this article examines the institutional history of official Australian development assistance since the Second World War. Several, often competing, narratives are delineated. These include: an ongoing questioning within the aid ‘policy community’, such as it is, of the purpose of foreign aid and the nature of its rel…
The Politics of Human Rights and Development
This article examines the ‘right to development’ and ‘rights-based approaches to development’, highlighting how each defines development and the degree to which they have been adopted by official donors in their policies and programs. The article then focuses on criticisms relating to justice, participation, empowerment and agency that uncover both the conceptual limitations of the rights–development nexus and the limitations of donor capacity to…

Incorporation of a GnRH agonist, leuprolide acetate, into regimens with exogenous gonadotropins to produce ovarian stimulation and ovulation in the nonpregnant squirrel monkey
This study was designed to measure the effects of variations in the length of pretreatment with a GnRH agonist, leuprolide acetate (LA), on subsequent follicular development and ovulation. The hypothesis was that the duration of LA suppression of pituitary function does not adversely affect ovarian response to standardized ovulation induction protocols in squirrel monkeys. The first phase determined the dose and duration of LA needed to achieve a…

Continuing with Microprocessor Education
A program entitled Professional Specialization in Microprocessors has been developed at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, Milwaukee, WI, to update technical oriented personnel in this ever expanding field. The program consists of four, laboratory oriented, courses dealing with topics from microprocessor hardware and software through input/output and interfacing to applications in industry and the consumer market
