American artist Harvey Dunn was one of the eight soldier artists recruited by Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F) during World War I (1914-1918). His wartime works can be situated within moralizing, Wilsonian rhetoric surrounding America’s entry into war and linked with a conception masculinity that inextricably connected service. These images heroic, martial, align pronouncements President Woodrow Wi...

Microgastrinae is one of the largest subfamilies of the Braconidae with about 2,000 described species worldwide. These wasps are of enormous ecological interest due to their role in controlling the caterpillar populations. This study analyses diversity and community structure within the Microgastrinae in the Artikutza Forest, located in the Peñas de Aia Natural Park, western Pyrenees, Spain. Th...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are the main tool to predict global change impacts on species ranges. Climate change alone is frequently considered, but in freshwater ecosystems, hydrology is a key driver of the ecology of aquatic species. At large scale, hydrology is however rarely accounted for, owing to the lack of detailed stream flow data. In this study, we developed an integrated model...

This paper investigates the determinants of rural-urban migration by adult males in Matlab Thana, Bangladesh, from 1983 to 1991. A three-category model of family migration, individual migration, or no migration identifies important distinctions in the determinants of family and individual migration that would be masked by a simple two-outcome migration model. Family migration, which entails for...

Natural disasters, particularly hydro-meteorological (climate-related) disasters such as droughts, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons and floods, have increased in prevalence and severity in recent decades. During these disasters, the most pressing relief needs are food, water, sanitation and shelter. While relief organizations are increasingly utilizing the power of social media for informational ...

This short note adds some results in parallel to those given in [1] on the random variable height on the set of watermelons with wall. In this paper we prove weak convergence results for the random variables “height” and “range” on the set of watermelons without wall restriction, as well as asymptotics for the moments of the random variable height. The techniques applied are quite similar to th...

Introduction This survey arose from an invitation received to attend a workshop at the University of Essex held 17-18 September 1998, hosted by the staff of the History Data Service of the UK Data Archive, to discuss the uses of the 1881 census transcription which had been coordinated by the Genealogical Society of Utah (hereafter GSU) in alliance with the Federation of Family History Societies...

Hail precipitation is characterized by enhanced spatial and temporal variability. Association Nationale d'Etude et de Lutte contre les Fléaux Atmosphériques (ANELFA) installed hailpad networks in the Atlantic and Midi-Pyrénées regions of France. Historical data of hail variables from 1990 to 2010 were used to characterize variability. A total of 443 stations with continuous records were chosen ...

hroughout history, astronomers have been accustomed to data falling from the sky. But our relatively newfound ability to store the sky's data in " clouds " offers us fascinating new ways to access, distribute, use, and analyze data, both in research and in education. Here we consider three interrelated questions: (1) What trends have we seen, and will soon see, in the growth of image and data c...
