Congo River Basin, 1885 (Image 1 of 2) (Raster Image)

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: A map of the Congo basin and adjoining territories : shewing the extent of the Congo Free State, Henry M. Stanley. It was published by Harper & Brothers in 1885. Scale [ca. 1:3,000,000]. This layer is image 1 of 2 total images of the two sheet source map, representing the western portion of the map. Covers a portion of Central Africa.The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Africa Lambert Conformal Conic projected coordinate system. All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as drainage, cities and other human settlements, shoreline features, and more. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights.This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

‘EXISTENCE AS RESISTANCE’: UNDERSTANDINGS OF IDENTITY, PLACE & BELONGING FOR YOUNG PALESTINIANS

In this thesis, I offer an exploration of what it means to be Palestinian, and constructions of identity, belonging and community, through drawing on the experiences of younger generations of Palestinians who have not lived in Palestine. This project seeks to investigate how understanding of our own individual, familial and community’s history plays in shaping our own understandings of identity, place, belonging and indigeneity, as a younger generation of Palestinians now living and studying in the diaspora. In particular, this project examined how the process of remembering and sharing memories in community act as a form of resistance to 68 years of settler colonial violence and erasure of Palestinian land and peoples, asking what our responsibilities this therefore entails from each and every one of us.

Contributos para implementação de um serviço de Imagiologia no Huambo, Angola

O Governo angolano tem realizado investimentos para a aquisição de tecnologias e incentivado investimentos privados no país para melhor tratar os problemas de saúde pública. Na província do Huambo o número de serviços de imagiologia é relativamente baixo, tendo em conta o número de habitantes. Dentre os serviços existentes, grande parte não possui uma estrutura funcional com a proteção radiológica recomendada, contam com poucos profissionais qualificados e os equipamentos não recebem uma manutenção adequada. Neste contexto, o Huambo representa uma região recetiva à instalação de um novo serviço de imagiologia, com capacidade de atender as necessidades dos utentes e profissionais. O presente trabalho objetiva contribuir para a implementação de um serviço de imagiologia no município do Huambo, a ser desenvolvido consoante às recomendações de boas práticas e normas de proteção radiológica, apoiado pela Lei do Investimento Privado.

Magnetic charachterization of surface sediments in the South Atlantic

Surface sediment samples representative for the tropical and subtropical South Atlantic (15°N to 40°S) were investigated by isothermal magnetic methods to delineate magnetic mineral distribution patterns and to identify their predominant Holocene climatic and oceanographic controls. Individual parameters reveal distinct, yet frequently overlapping, regional sedimentation characteristics. A probabilistic ('fuzzy c-means') cluster analysis was applied to five concentration independent magnetic properties assessing magnetite to hematite ratios and diagnostic of bulk and fine-particle magnetite grain size and coercivity spectra. The resultant 10 cluster structures establish an oceanwide magnetic sediment classification scheme tracing the major terrigenous eolian and fluvial fluxes, authigenic biogenic magnetite accumulation in high-productivity areas, transport by ocean current systems, and effects of bottom water velocity on depositional regimes. Distinct dissimilarities in magnetic mineral inventories between the eastern and western basins of the South Atlantic reflect prominent contrasts of both oceanic and continental influences.
