Winchester, England, 1809 (Raster Image)

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Ancient ichnography of the city of Winchester, Js. Cave delineavit ad mentem J. Milner. It was published by Jas. Robbins, March 1st, 1809. Scale [ca. 1:3,800].The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the 'British National Grid' 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 roads, drainage, built-up areas and selected buildings, ground cover, parks, and more. Includes 2 insets: Ichnography of the environs of Winchester, Ichnography of the Cathedral Church.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.

Local community perception towards bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in Caves in South central Mindanao, Philippines: Threats and Implication for conservation

In the tropics, bats are an essential component of many native ecosystems, through providing various ecological services including pollination and insect pest control, in addition to seed dispersal. Many Philippine bat species roost in caves and underground habitats. However, many caves are disturbed by people, to exploit resources for food, recreation, and mineral and guano extraction. The misunderstanding of the importance of bats to the ecosystem is also considered a threat to many cave roosting species. Understanding the conflicts between humans and ecosystems which provide essential services is important to maintain ecosystem service provision. A total of 100 local respondents from the village of Pisan, Kabacan North Cotabato in south central Mindanao were interviewed through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Respondents were asked about their views, levels of knowledge, use, interaction, and awareness towards both the caves and bats in their locality. Our survey found that most of the respondents are aware of the presence of bats from the caves in their locality. Unfortunately, a large proportion of the respondents noted that bats are hunted in caves for bush meat and trade, and most people perceived bats as pest to fruit crops such as durian. These factors are among the main factors of the execution of many bat colonies in caves of south central Mindanao. In general, cave bats are under appreciated species in caves. The unregulated tourism, hunting for bush meat and trade, and guano extraction are among the alarming threats occurring for both caves and bats in the locality and possibly to other localities in the country. Furthermore, the establishment of strong and effective model conservation education programs and the strengthening the participation of local government, academic, and community are essential steps to preserve the current state of cave bats in the area.

Spa holístico na esfera urbana portuense: o bem-estar e as leis da natureza

Durante a vida acumula-se, pelos sentidos, um conjunto de sensações necessárias e impreteríveis ao ato de reflexão, por quanto: sem a existência de um reservatório de impressões sensoriais, a mente não tem como refletir sobre elas. Durante a reflexão, temos uma resposta imediata a um estímulo condicionado pelo conhecimento prévio (experiências passadas) e pela identificação deste estímulo com um tempo e espaço em particular. Estas perceções também estão sujeitas aos fatores culturais, portanto, os estereótipos das coisas e eventos do processo de socialização que influenciam fortemente a perceção humana. Ao contrário, a nossa perceção espacial que envolve uma construção gradual e certamente não existe uma perceção previamente feito do nosso desenvolvimento mental. Neste caso, a perceção humana é uma resposta a um campo de informação interrelacionada e não só de fatores de informação individual. A mente organiza esses elementos sensoriais, de modo a formar uma experiência coerente. Os cinco sistemas não trabalham em exclusivo; eles se inter-relacionam recolhendo a mesma informação. Casa sistema percetual colabora com os estímulos parciais entre si e o sistema sensorial com o sistema motor que, em uma constelação fisiológica variável, mantém constante a sensação, o que, portanto, proíbe que o processo nervoso aja como uma simples transmissão de uma mensagem dada. Na época renascentista acreditava-se que os sistemas percetuais estavam relacionados com a imagem do corpo cósmico; a visão estava correlacionada com o fogo e a luz, a audição com o ar, o olfato com o vapor, o gosto com a água e o toque com a terra. Esta intervenção projetual adotou essa relação atribuindo a cada piso uma referência sensorial. Existem várias ciências holísticas que estudam as vertentes que podem influenciar na hora de edificar. Em combinação com os sentidos, os princípios da ciência védica podem delimitar o perímetro construído e as proporções que conferem a harmonia, a base da beleza e a funcionalidade. Deste modo, honram-se as bases da consciência do bem-estar de quem o utilizará. A colaboração do arquiteto ou designer e o utilizador é crucial para determinar as sensações que o utilizador irá encontrar no espaço. com a ajuda de várias referências de obras e autores, propõe-se intervir num edifício localizado na rua de Santa Catarina, entre as ruas Passos Manuel e 31 de Janeiro, na cidade do Porto. O imóvel conta com quatro pisos, com uma cave destinada a arrumos. A proposta de intervenção pretende aplicar a teoria do design sensorial a um projeto de spa de conceito inovador. O utilizador poderá navegar pelo edifício de princípio ao fim, através de diversos tratamentos e terapias, para atingir o bem-estar em cada experiência. O objetivo é despertar os sentidos subjugados pelo frenesim do quotidiano citadino

(Table 2) Age model of ODP Site 184-1146

Orbital tuning of benthic d18O is a common approach for assigning ages to ocean sediment records. Similar environmental forcing of the northern South China Sea and the southeast Asian cave regions allows for transfer of the speleothem d18O radiometric chronology to the planktonic and benthic d18O records from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1146, yielding a new chronology with 41 radiometrically calibrated datums, spanning the past 350 kyr. This approach also provides for an independent assessment of the accuracy of the orbitally tuned benthic d18O chronology for the last 350 kyr. The largest differences relative to the latest chronology occur in marine isotope stages (MIS) 5.4, 5.5, 6, 7, and 9.3. Prominent suborbital-scale structure believed to be global in nature is identified within MIS 5.4 and MIS 7.2. On the basis of the radiometrically calibrated chronology, the time constant of the ice sheet is found to be 5.4 kyr at the precession band (light d18O lags precession minima by -55.4°) and 10.4 kyr at the obliquity band (light d18O lags obliquity maxima by 57.4°). These values are significantly shorter than the single 17 kyr time constant originally estimated by Imbrie et al. (1984), based primarily on the timing of terminations I and II and the 15 kyr time constant used by Lisiecki and Raymo (2005, doi:10.1029/2004PA001071).
