In this paper I examine the making of the historic space of Athens through the narrative framework of the representation of the nation, and the means used. Since the foundation of the Greek nationstate, the narrative framework in question and its content have been expanding to include more and usually conflicting subnarratives. In parallel, since the delimitation and specification of the initia...

In an all-digital, all-online setting, long-term secure record-keeping is a difficult task. The record-keeping problem comes up with increasing frequency, as we migrate to exclusively digital ways of transacting business. Accountability requires information about the content and the timing of business transactions. In the digital world, ideally, we should be able to tell with conviction when a ...

This study focused on the structure and the platform of the road space of historic districts. We analyzed the road networks of 16 historic districts in Japan from the perspectives of circularity, accessibility and indirection based on graph theory. By calculating and comparing the indexes of each road network (NW1 and NW2) forms, we quantitatively describe the effects of the main prefectural ro...

This paper discusses a model for the virtual reconstruction of the historic garden of Villa lo Zerbino in Genoa. We describe the process that starts from a specific knowledge (based on documents, drawings and maps) and leads to a 3d model focusing on the vegetation elements. This representation allows addressing issues peculiar to the reconstruction of historic gardens, such as the analysis of ...

Population sizes and movement patterns of ungulate grazers and their predators have fluctuated dramatically over the past few centuries, largely owing to overharvesting, land-use change and historic management. We used δ(13)C and δ(15)N values measured from bone collagen of historic and recent gray wolves and their potential primary prey from Yellowstone National Park to gain insight into the t...

Research by economists suggests that recent Mexican migrants are better educated and have higher socioeconomic status (SES) than previous migrants. Because factors associated with higher SES and improved education can lead to positive secular changes in overall body form, secular changes in the craniofacial complex were analyzed within a recent migrant group from Mexico. The Mexican group repre...

Heavy metal pollution is hazardous for the environment and human health. However, there are few studies of heavy caused by historic metallurgical activity. The Laoniupo site in Bahe River valley, Guanzhong Basin, China, was an important settlement Shang Culture (1600`-1046 BCE). We studied two stratigraphic profiles at site, which were used measurements magnetic susceptibility, concentrations, ...
