Abstract:

The Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the United States, and the largest museum and research complex in the world, receives many outside permission requests to reproduce images in the Smithsonian Collections. Charging fees for photographic usage is a common practice in the United States, especially in art history and general museums. Beginning in 1992, the Smithonian established internal guidelines for changing such fees and for handling permission requests from outside sources. The procedures ensure that the Smithsonian recognises and respects the intellectual property right

Abstract:

This paper presents the seismic fragility assessment of the Smithsonian Institute Museum Support Center (MSC), which sustained appreciable damage during the 2011 Virginia earthquake. A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model (FEM) for the building was created and validated using measured dynamic characteristics determined from field vibration test data. Two suites of bidirectional ground motions at different hazard levels were applied to the FEM to generate fragility curves for structural as well as nonstructural (storage cabinets) damage.

Thus, it is important to understand and validate the levels of satellite HCHO over the remote oceans.

Abstract:

« S’il nous manque le courage ou la vision de nous aventurer dans l’inexploré, nous allons inévitablement paraphraser les œuvres du passé ». Pour l’Américaine Margaret de Patta (1903-1965), la vocation du designer à produire des formes originales en adéquation avec son époque est inséparable d’une démarche expérimentale. L’auteure se propose d’examiner la façon dont la photographie s’est imposée au cours des années 1940 comme un instrument fondamental de sa recherche esthétique. Bagues, broches et pendentifs font écho à des photogrammes semi-abstraits, produits de sa rencontre avec des théorie

Introduction: This study aimed to quantify and analyse scientific activity in Comparative Psychology and Animal Behaviour across the 19 Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America. This was achieved by examining articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1975 to 2024 by authors affiliated with institutions in these countries. Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using 26 journals specialised in Comparative Psychology and Animal Behaviour, covering aspects such as historical production, authorship analysis, manuscripts, citations, countries, affil

Abstract In 2008, a field survey of termite-associated nematodes was conducted on Barro Colorado Island, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (BCI, STRI), Panama. During that survey, an undescribed Pseudaphelenchus species was isolated from three species of subterranean termites, Amitermes beaumonti, Microcerotermes exiguous and Obtusitermes panamae. The nematode is described and figured herein as P. vindai n. sp. The new species is morphologically similar to its only congener, P. yukiae, i. e., these two species share a thin stylet with small and clear basal knobs, a true bursa supported b

Abstract:

The study of Precipitable Water Vapour (PWV) using satellite data and ground-based observation is crucial for understanding hydrological processes, atmospheric circulation, and weather systems. It is considered the most prominent greenhouse gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. It is highly variable in both space and time across the Earth. Precipitable Water Vapor is a measure of the total amount of water vapour present in a vertical column of the atmosphere from the Earth’s surface to the top of it. This study investigates the potential atmospheric water vapour column at high (JMSM)and low(GRHI) to

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In April 1986, more than 50,000 barrels of medium weight crude oil were spilled into the largest complex of coral reefs and mangroves on the central Caribbean coast of Panama. Considerable amounts of oil came ashore at Punta Galeta, where a long-term environmental sciences program of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute provided extensive baseline information for investigating the effects of the oil spill. Immediate mortality was most apparent for organisms living at the seaward edge of the reef flats and on drying substrata above mean water level. By June 1986, a number of ree
