“…In the run at the excess energy of Q = 10 MeV the COSY-11 polarimeter has been used as the main equipment to extract information about the value of the polarisation degree. During this run in parallel the polarimeter of the COSY team [103] has also been used as the auxiliary detector to monitor the polarisation and to verify the information from the COSY-11 polarimeter.…”

Abstract. In the tropics, deep convection is the major source of uncertainty in water vapor transport to the upper troposphere and into the stratosphere. Although accurate measurements in this region would be of first order importance to better understand the processes that govern stratospheric water vapor concentrations and trends in the context of a changing climate, they are sparse because of instrumental shortcomings and observational challenges. Therefore, the Falcon research aircraft of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) flew a zenith-viewing water vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) during the Tropical Convection, Cirrus and Nitrogen Oxides Experiment (TROCCINOX) in 2004 and 2005 in Brazil. The measurements were performed alternatively on three water vapor absorption lines of different strength around 940 nm. These are the first aircraft DIAL measurements in the tropical upper troposphere and in the mid-latitudes lower stratosphere. A sensitivity analysis reveals that the DIAL profiles have an accuracy of ~5% between altitudes of 8 and 16 km. This is confirmed by intercomparisons with the Fast In-situ Stratospheric Hygrometer (FISH) and the Fluorescent Advanced Stratospheric Hygrometer (FLASH) onboard the Russian M-55 Geophysica research aircraft during five coordinated flights. The average relative differences between FISH and DIAL amount to –3%±8% and between FLASH and DIAL to –8%±14%, negative meaning DIAL is more humid. The average distance between the probed air masses was 129 km. The DIAL is found to have no altitude- or latitude-dependent bias. A comparison with the balloon ascent of a laser absorption spectrometer gives an average difference of 0%±19% at a distance of 75 km. Six tropical DIAL under-flights of the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) on board ENVISAT show a mean difference of –8%±49% at an average distance of 315 km. While the comparison with MIPAS is somewhat less significant due to poorer comparison conditions, the agreement with the in-situ hygrometers provides evidence of the excellent quality of FISH, FLASH and DIAL. Most DIAL profiles exhibit a smooth exponential decrease of water vapor mixing ratio in the tropical upper troposphere to lower stratosphere transition. The hygropause with a minimum mixing ratio of ~2.5 μmol/mol is found between 15 and 16 km, 1 to 2 km beneath the local tropopause. A high-resolution (2 km horizontal, ~200 m vertical) DIAL cross section through the anvil outflow of tropical convection shows that the ambient humidity is increased by a factor of three across 100 km.

“…Nonetheless, resistance to both the curriculum and the methodology has become more vocal, at least from some of my more privileged women students (Bauer, 1990;hooks, 1989, p. 102). Wherever possible, I use students' resistances to further their own and my understanding of our lives and their relationship to a materialist feminist pedagogy.…”

“…Several authors consider feminist approaches, such as Lamb's (1991) discussion of less confrontational methods of argumentation and Jarratt's (1991) opposing argument that students who resist feminist approaches should be confronted about their views by teacher and fellow students. Other gender oriented work includes Bauer (1990) on feminist notions of classroom authority, in which she argues that "political commitment-especially feminist commitment-is a legitimate classroom strategy and rhetorical imperative" as "the feminist agenda offers a goal toward our students' conversions to emancipatory critical action" (p. 389). Additional feminist oriented publications from the early 1990's include Hollis (1992) on feminist pedagogy in the writing workshop, and a Braddock Award winning piece on the nature of authority in writing (Mortensen & Kirsch, 1993) which advocates teaching a more inclusive, less oppositional notion of authority.…”

This review of research in college composition divides the field into research focused on the student writer, the teacher of college composition, and the contexts of writing. The period under review is characterized by the "social turn," an effort to situate the writer within social, political, and other contexts in which teaching and writing take place. The author finds that, early in the 21 st century, the field of college composition lacks the sort of monolith -such as the "current rhetorical" tradition that has now been largely abandoned -that galvanized teachers and researchers of college composition in the past. As a consequence, the field presently lacks a clear focus or direction. Key words: college composition, writing research DURSTFrench résumé Cette revue de question sur la composition à l'université comprend des recherches centrées sur l'étudiant-auteur, l'enseignant et les contextes d'écriture. La période examinée se caractérise par un " tournant social ", un effort pour situer l'auteur dans les contextes, social, politique ou autres, dans lesquels l'écriture et son enseignement prennent place. L'auteur constate que, au début du 21e siècle, la recherche sur la composition à l'université perd son caractère monolithique -comme la tradition de la " rhétorique classique " maintenant en grande partie abandonnée-qui a tant enthousiasmé les enseignants et les chercheurs dans le passé. En conséquence, ce domaine de recherche manque actuellement d'une centration, ou d'une orientation, claire. (Abstract translated into French by Laurence Pasa.) Mots clefs : composition à l'université, recherche en écriture Portuguese resumo. Este levantamento da investigação sobre composição no ensino secundário divide o campo de análise em investigação centrada no estudante escrevente, no professor de composição no secundário e nos contextos de escrita. O período em análise é caracterizado pela "viragem social", um esforço para situar o escrevente em contextos sociais, políticos e todos os outros em que o ensino e a escrita têm lugar. O autor considera que, no início do século XXI, o domínio da composição no secundário não tem o carácter sólido -como, por exemplo, na tradição "retórica contemporânea" que foi agora largamente abandonada -que galvanizou professores e investigadores no passado. Por isso, falta neste campo um rumo ou focalização claros. (Abstract translated into Portuguese by Paulo Feytor Pinto) Palavras-chave: composição no secundário; investigação sobre escrita
