Methuen (including part of Lawrence), Massachusetts, 1846 (Raster Image)

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Map of Methuen, Mass., surveyed and drawn by James K. Barker. It was published by N. Dearborn in 1846. Scale [1:17,280]. Covers the town of Methuen and a portion of Lawrence. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone (in Feet) (Fipszone 2001). 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, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as roads, drainage, public buildings, schools, churches, cemeteries, industry locations (e.g. mills, factories, mines, etc.), selected private buildings with names of property owners, town boundaries and more. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps of Massachusetts from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates (1755-1922), scales, and purposes. The digitized selection includes maps of: the state, Massachusetts counties, town surveys, coastal features, real property, parks, cemeteries, railroads, roads, public works projects, etc.

Efecto de la densidad poblacional y la época de siembra en el rendimiento y la calidad de la semilla de una población de caupi rojo (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) en la Finca El Plantel

El presente ensayo se realizó en la Finca El Plantel, Zambrano, departamento de Masaya, Nicaragua durante las épocas de siembra de primera, postrera y de riego (Junio 2005-Marzo 2006) con el objetivo de determinar el efecto de la densidad poblacional y la época de siembra sobre el rendimiento y la calidad de semilla de una población de caupí rojo. Fue establecido un diseño bifactorial de bloques completos al azar (BCA), con cuatro bloques, cinco distancias de siembra (0.40, 0.60, 0.80, 1.00, 1.20) y tres épocas de siembra. Se realizó el análisis de varianza y separación de medias por Tukey al 5% de confianza, utilizando el programa Statistical Analysis System (SAS). La medición de las variables se basó en el descriptor de Vignas sp y en la tabla de colores de Methuen. Las variables cuantitativas medidas fueron longitud del foliolo central, longitud del pecíolo, longitud del pecíolulo, longitud del pedúnculo de la vaina, longitud de la rama, longitud de la vaina, diámetro del tallo, altura de la planta, número de ramas por planta, contenido de humedad de la semilla, materia seca, germinación, número de semilla por vainas, número de vainas por parcela, peso de 1000 semillas, y rendimiento. De acuerdo con los resultados no se encontró interacción entre épocas y distancias de siembra. Se determinó que hubo efecto entre épocas de siembra sobre las variables medidas a excepción de número de ramas y diámetro del tallo. El mayor rendimiento se obtuvo en postrera con 1228.8 kg.ha-1, seguida de riego con 452.8 kg.ha-1 y primera 361.6kgha-1. La siembra con riego presentó el primer lugar en las variables peso de 1000 semillas (146.0 g), materia seca (1.8 g) y germinación (87.2 %). Respecto a distancia de siembra la variable número de vainas por parcela presentó efecto significativo correspondiente a la distancia de 1.20m con 406 vainas. De acuerdo a estos resultados se puede decir que la mejor época para producir semilla de caupí es riego por la calidad alcanzada de este insumo.

Sexual selection and canine dimorphism in New World monkeys.

Social and ecological factors are important in shaping sexual dimorphism in Anthropoidea, but there is also a tendency for body-size dimorphism and canine dimorphism to increase with increased body size (Rensch's rule) (Rensch: Evolution Above the Species Level. London: Methuen, 1959.) Most ecologist interpret Rensch's rule to be a consequence of social and ecological selective factors that covary with body size, but recent claims have been advanced that dimorphism is principally a consequence of selection for increased body size alone. Here we assess the effects of body size, body-size dimorphism, and social structure on canine dimorphism among platyrrhine monkeys. Platyrrhine species examined are classified into four behavioral groups reflecting the intensity of intermale competition for access to females or to limiting resources. As canine dimorphism increases, so does the level of intermale competition. Those species with monogamous and polyandrous social structures have the lowest canine dimorphism, while those with dominance rank hierarchies of males have the most canine dimorphism. Species with fission-fusion social structures and transitory intermale breeding-season competition fall between these extremes. Among platyrrhines there is a significant positive correlation between body size and canine dimorphism However, within levels of competition, no significant correlation was found between the two. Also, with increased body size, body-size dimorphism tends to increase, and this correlation holds in some cases within competition levels. In an analysis of covariance, once the level of intermale competition is controlled for, neither molar size nor molar-size dimorphism accounts for a significant part of the variance in canine dimorphism. A similar analysis using body weight as a measure of size and dimorphism yields a less clear-cut picture: body weight contributes significantly to the model when the effects of the other factors are controlled. Finally, in a model using head and body length as a measure of size and dimorphism, all factors and the interactions between them are significant. We conclude that intermale competition among platyrrhine species is the most important factor explaining variations in canine dimorphism. The significant effects of size and size dimorphism in some models may be evidence that natural (as opposed to sexual) selection also plays a role in the evolution of increased canine dimorphism.

Social Work and theatre: considering intersections

Theatre is a cultural and artistic form that involves a process of communication between creators and is received in a space and time located in the public sphere, which has meant that, over the centuries, it has acted as a space for expression, exchange and debate regarding all manner of ideas, causes and struggles. Implicit within this process are processes of expression, creation and reception, by way of which people demonstrate, analyse and question ways of seeing and understanding life, and ways of being and existing in the world. This gives rise to educational, cultural, social and political potential, which has been endorsed in numerous studies and investigations. In this work, in which theoretical orientation is established through a review of the relevant literature, we consider different intersections that occur between theatre and social work in order to also show that dramatic and theatrical expression offers substantive methodologies for achieving some objectives of social work, particularly in areas such as critical literacy, reflexivity and recognition, awareness raising, social participation, personal and/or community development, ownership of cultural capital and access to personal and social wellbeing.
