Nares Strait region, Canada and Greenland, 1853 (Raster Image)

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Chart exhibiting the discoveries of the second American-Grinnell-Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin : unrevised from the original material and projected on the spot by E.K. Kane. It was published by Lith of J. Bien in [1855]. Scale [ca. 1:400,000]. Covers the Nares Strait region, Greenland and Canada. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the 'NAD 1983 CSRS UTM Zone 19 North' projection. 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 coastal features such as drainage, islands, capes, bays, tides, lines of ice, camps, and more. Relief shown by hachures. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection and the Harvard University Library as part of the Open Collections Program at Harvard University project: Organizing Our World: Sponsored Exploration and Scientific Discovery in the Modern Age. Maps selected for the project correspond to various expeditions and represent a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and purposes.

Valor predictivo de los tests Boehm y Peabody en la detecci??n de futuras dificultades escolares en orden a una intervenci??n preventiva y compensadora

Se analiza la medida en que las pruebas psicopedag??gicas Boehm y Peabody predicen las dificultades en el ??mbito lectoescritor que pueden presentarse en el alumnado de Primaria. Para ello se ha desarrollado un estudio de tipo correlacional en el que se han reunido datos de alumnos desde su ingreso en la Educaci??n Infantil hasta su escolarizaci??n en el segundo ciclo de Educaci??n Primaria. La informaci??n obtenida tiene por tanto, un car??cter diacr??nico. El informe est?? constituido por una breve alusi??n te??rica al problema que se trata para situarse en el lugar preciso donde se centra la investigaci??n, descripci??n de la metodolog??a de investigaci??n, resultados y conclusiones, la discusi??n de los resultados y las propuestas. Se recogen tambi??n la bibliograf??a usada y el estudio de an??lisis de los casos utilizados. Las conclusiones afirman que existe una correlaci??n estad??sticamente significativa entre los tests Peabody y Boehm. Las correlaciones m??s altas son las que implican, de una parte a los tests Peabody y Boehm y, de otra, a las notas escolares de segundo ciclo de Educaci??n Primaria en Matem??ticas y Lengua. Las notas escolares obtenidas por los alumnos del primer ciclo de Educaci??n Primaria en Lengua y Matem??ticas no tienen una correlaci??n estad??sticamente significativa con los tests Boehm y Peabody. En el primer ciclo de Educaci??n Primaria, s??lo el test Peaboy permite predecir las notas escolares en Lengua y Matem??ticas. Estimar y determinar el rendimiento de los alumnos en las citadas asignaturas tomando como punto de partida s??lo los datos aportados por el test Peabody resulta desaconsejable dado el escaso poder predictivo de dicho test. El test Boehm, por su parte, tiene a??n menos poder predictivo sobre las notas escolares y, en el presente estudio, aparece como un mal predictor.

Adapting the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test for deaf children

This paper examines adapting the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), a receptive vocabulary test, for hearing-impaired children.

Comparing two receptive vocabulary tests: The receptive one word vocabulary test and the peabody picture vocabulary test

This paper discusses a study to determine whether the Receptive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test is more useful than the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test in assessing the vocabularies of hearing imparied children.

The relationship between performance on the Stanford Achievement Test and the Peabody Individual Achievement test for a group of hearing-impaired children

This paper discusses the Stanford and Peabody tests for achievement and which test is more efficient for hearing impaired children.

Diatom biostratigraphy and sea ice concentration reconstruction from core DA06-139G, Vaigat Strait in Disko Bugt, West Greenland

A diatom-based sea-ice concentration (SIC) transfer function is developed using 72 surface samples from west of Greenland and around Iceland, and through comparison with the associated modern SIC. Canonical correspondence analysis on surface sediment diatoms and monthly average of SIC reveals that April SIC is the most important environmental factor controlling the distribution of diatoms in the area, and permits the development of a diatom-based SIC transfer function. The consistency between reconstructed SIC based on diatoms from West Greenland and the instrumental and documentary data during the last ~75 years demonstrates that the diatom-based SIC reconstruction is reliable for studying the palaeoceanography off West Greenland. Relatively warm conditions with strong influence of the Irminger Current (IC) are indicated for the early part of the record (~5000-3860 cal. yr BP), corresponding in time to the latest part of the Holocene Thermal Maximum. The April SIC oscillated around the mean value between 3860 and 1510 cal. yr BP and was above mean afterwards, particularly during the time interval 1510-1120 cal. yr BP and after 650 cal. yr BP, indicating more extensive sea-ice cover in Disko Bugt. A high degree of consistency between the reconstructed April SIC and changes in the diatom species suggests that the sea-ice condition in Disko Bugt is strongly influenced by variations in the relative strength of two components of the West Greenland Current, i.e. the cold East Greenland Current and the relatively warm IC.
