TL;DR: For the tropical west coast of South America, where El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is most pronounced, archaeological and associated paleontological deposits in northern Peru revealed a major climate change at about 5000 years before the present (yr B.P.).
Abstract: For the tropical west coast of South America, where El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is most pronounced, archaeological and associated paleontological deposits in northern Peru revealed a major climate change at about 5000 years before the present (yr B.P.). The data implied the presence of stable, warm tropical water as far south as 10°S during the early mid-Holocene (about 8000 to 5000 yr B.P.). These data suggest that ENSO did not occur for some millennia preceding 5000 yr B.P., when global and regional climate was warmer than today.

TL;DR: This model describes a partial order over topological relationships and provides a measure to assess how far two relationships are apart from each other and provides answers to three kinds of qualitative space-time inferences.
Abstract: Geographic objects and phenomena may gradually change their location, orientation, shape, and size over time. A qualitative change occurs if the deformation of an object affects its topological relationship with respect to another object. The observation of such changes is particularly interesting, because qualitative changes frequently require different decisions or trigger new actions. Investigations of a closed set of mutually exclusive binary topological relationships led to a formal model to determine for each topological relationship the relationships closest to it. Applied to the entire set of binary topological relationships between spatial regions, this model describes a partial order over topological relationships and provides a measure to assess how far two relationships are apart from each other. The changes to the binary topological relationship caused by such deformations as translation, rotation, reduction, and expansion of an object are mapped onto this graph. The graphs show characteristic traverses for each kind of deformation. Using these characteristic traverses as knowledge about deformations, one can infer from multiple observations the kind of deformation that caused the change and predict the next topological relationship. Particularly, it provides answers to three kinds of qualitative space-time inferences: (1) Given a process and a state, what is the next most likely state? (2) Given an ordered pair of states, what process may have occurred? (3) Given an ordered pair of states and a process, in what states must the two objects have been in between?

TL;DR: This paper presented five perspectives on the personal narrative as communication and performance by analyzing definitions of text, context, and concepts in current research: personal narratives as story-text, personal narration as storytelling performance, conversational interaction, social process, and personal storytelling as political praxis.
Abstract: Personal narratives are studied in many disciplines, but theoretical analysis of the personal narrative has lagged behind research. This essay presents five perspectives on the personal narrative as communication and performance by analyzing definitions of text, context, and concepts in current research: personal narrative as story‐text, personal narrative as storytelling performance, personal narrative as conversational interaction, personal narrative as social process, and personal narrative as political praxis. The analysis clarifies the nature and function of personal narrative and generates insight into the issues, innovations, and politics of studying personal narratives.
