writing about the date of different events by using historical documents is a reliable way of history analyzing. historical documents are less affected by mental backgrounds, loves and hates, and interests and values. they are more reliable in narrating historical facts. such documents are generally prepared by experts when a given event has occurred and are less affected by next incidents. alt...

Background The historical maps have become a more common and important source of information in administrative work within the cultural heritage sector in Sweden. The usage of historical maps has also increased in untraditional sectors, such as infrastructural planning, as the interest in environmental issues has increased in past years. The character of the historical map is that of;  knowled...

We present protocols and input data for Phase 1 of the Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison, a project of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP). The project includes global simulations of yields, phenologies, and many land-surface fluxes using 12– 15 modeling groups for many crops, climate forcing data sets, and scenarios over the historical period from 194...

Figure 1. A. Axial brain computed tomography (CT)angiography showing a giant left (Lt) distal internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm. B. Axial transcranial sonogram (mesencephalic level): Butterfly-shaped midbrain was encircled for better visualization (solid lines). Arrows indicate the coiled distal ICA aneurysm. He was monitored via daily transcranial sonography (TCS) for the potential develo...

A desirable property of one-way functions is that they be total, one-to-one, and onto—in other words, that they be permutations. We prove that one-way permutations exist exactly if PaUP-coUP: This provides the first characterization of the existence of one-way permutations based on a complexity-class separation and shows that their existence is equivalent to a number of previously studied compl...

Consensus trees are a popular approach for summarizing the shared evolutionary relationships in a collection of trees. Many popular techniques such as Bayesian analyses produce results that can contain tens of thousands of trees to summarize. We develop a fast consensus algorithm called HashCS to construct large-scale consensus trees. We perform an extensive empirical study for comparing the pe...

This paper aims to analyse the typology of medical-historical information provided by parish registers from Transylvania - a category of primary sources used mainly by historical demographers. The approach is descriptive and prospective in character: it creates a typology of the medical information to be found in the sources, while highlighting possible research directions and approaching a ser...

The relationship between historians and film has been difficult. The first step for historians was to recognize film as a worthwhile source to study, a process which started in the 1960s. Paul Smith‘s The Historian and Film, published in 1976 (Smith, 1976) was the first publication in the English language on this topic and has been regarded as a milestone (Jackson, 1977: 713). By then, films we...
