Carta sobre el encargo para esculpir un nuevo rostro al santo Ignacio de Loyola, 1709 mayo 28
No full textCarta al padre Juan de Iturberoaga, Procurador General de la Compañía de Jesús, en la que se explica que se envió dinero al padre Agustín de Campos en su nombre para que se contratase a un artesano diestro con el fin de tallar un nuevo rostro para una estatua de San Ignacio de Loyola, dado que el traído por Nicolás García se asemeja más a un clérigo secular que al santo. Kappus da instrucciones artísticas precisas acerca del tamaño de la cabeza nueva y su modo de fijación a la estatua, enfatizando el deber de reverenciar la imagen conforme a la verdadera semejanza del santo. —— Letter to Father Juan de Iturberoaga, the Jesuit Procurator General, explaining that money was sent to Father Agustín de Campos on his behalf so that a skilled craftsman be commissioned to make a new face for a statue of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, since the one brought by Nicolás García resembles a secular cleric rather than the saint. Kappus gives specific artistic instructions for the new head’s size and attachment to the statue, emphasizing reverence for the saint’s proper likeness. 1 f. (2 p.
Informe sobre los conflictos en Baja California entre los dominicos y el gobernador Felipe Barri, 1774 agosto 12
No full textCarta al virrey Antonio María de Bucareli en la que se reportan conflictos en Baja California entre misioneros dominicos y el gobernador Felipe Barri. El autor compiló estos informes a partir de diversas cartas que recibió, a pesar del temor a represalias por parte del gobernador. Muñoz acusa al gobernador de socavar la autoridad misionera, prohibir a los soldados interactuar con los sacerdotes y patrullar las misiones, y de humillar a los misioneros al clavar la puerta de una misión para cerrarla y obligar a la comunidad a reunirse frente al convento para proclamar obediencia a su persona. Destaca que tales tensiones amenazan la estabilidad de las comunidades indígenas, con la posibilidad de provocar rebeliones como las ocurridas anteriormente en San Xavier y Mulegé. Muñoz detalla el maltrato de Barri hacia los indígenas, incluyendo poner a uno en el cepo durante cinco días simplemente por negarse a realizar labores domésticas, a pesar de las leyes reales que prohibían el trabajo forzado. La carta también describe el intento de Barri de hacer que los soldados sacaran por la fuerza a un hombre, Antonio Toledo, de una iglesia, lo cual los misioneros impidieron apelando a la inmunidad sagrada de los espacios religiosos. Finalmente, el presidente de las misiones dominicas amenazó con excomulgar a Barri. Muñoz enfatiza que los indígenas en las misiones son muy sensibles a la discordia entre los frailes y los funcionarios coloniales. —— Letter to Viceroy Antonio María de Bucareli reporting conflicts in Baja California between Dominican missionaries and Governor Felipe Barri. The author compiled these reports from various letters he received, despite fear of reprisal from the governor. Muñoz accuses the governor of undermining missionary authority, forbidding soldiers to interact with priests and patrol the missions, and taunting the missionaries by nailing shut a mission gate to humiliate them and forcing the community to assemble before the convent to proclaim obedience to him. He highlights that such tensions threaten the stability of Indigenous communities, possibly leading to rebellions as had occurred previously in San Xavier and Mulegé. Muñoz details Barri’s mistreatment of Indigenous people, including placing one in stocks for five days simply for refusing to perform household labor, despite royal laws forbidding forced labor. The letter also describes Barri’s attempt to have soldiers drag a man, Antonio Toledo, out of a church, which missionaries opposed by citing sacred immunity of religious spaces. Ultimately, the president of the Dominican missions threatened to excommunicate Barri. Muñoz stresses that the Indigenous people in missions are highly sensitive to discord between the friars and colonial officials. 9 f. (18 p.
Replication Data for: Non-equilibrium simulations of hydraulic permeation: Role of mechanical boundary conditions in dense membranes
No full textUnderstanding the mechanisms of water transport in reverse osmosis membranes is critical for improving membrane performance and guiding material design. While classical models describe transport as either solution-diffusion (SD)—involving concentration-driven diffusion through a homogeneous medium—or pore-flow (PF)—involving pressure-driven convection through percolated water channels—their applicability to crosslinked polyamide membranes remains debated. Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the impact of mechanical support conditions on pressure-driven water transport in polyamide membranes across varying crosslink densities and pressure differentials (1000–5000 bar). Two support conditions are considered: graphene-restrained, representing experimentally relevant supported membranes, and freeze-restrained, mimicking a self-supported structure. In graphene-restrained systems, water concentration gradients and constant pressure profiles emerge, consistent with SD theory and incompatible with PF assumptions due to the absence of percolated pores and sub-nanometer voids. In contrast, freeze-restrained systems display uniform water concentration and linearly decreasing pressure at 1000 bar, and exhibit compressibility-induced water gradients and partial percolation at 5000 bar, resembling PF-like behavior. However, the underlying assumptions of PF theory—continuous solvent pathways and pressure transmission through water-filled pores—are not met under most conditions. Our results demonstrate that accurate modeling of reverse osmosis membranes must incorporate realistic mechanical boundary conditions to distinguish between transport mechanisms. For dense polyamide membranes supported by porous substrates, graphene-restrained simulations best reflect experimental setups and support the SD model as the dominant mechanism of water permeation
CSR RL06 GRACE geofit and postfit dataset
No full textThis dataset is produced as an ancillary output during the production of the operational RL06 monthly gravity field solutions derived from GRACE observations. It provides time-series information of the observable residuals (“O–C”) in units of intersatellite range rate, separated into geofit residuals—representing the portion of the signal captured by the monthly averaged gravity field—and postfit residuals, which represent the portion not explained by the monthly gravity field or by other modeled orbital, dynamical, or spacecraft-related parameters. The postfit component contains sub-monthly gravity signals as well as remaining measurement noise and modeling errors. Satellite ground track information is included in the dataset as well

This data collection represents georeferenced, time registered instrument measurements (Level 1B data) converted to SI units, and is of most interest to users who wish to reprocess the data. Users interested in geophysical observables (eg magnetic anomalies and surface elevation) should used the derived Level 2 datasets. The data format are space delimited ASCII files, following the formats used for UTIG predecessor ICECAP/OIB project at NASA's NSIDC DAAC. Fields are described in the # delimited detailed header for each granule.
DATASET ORGANIZATION
Transects were collected in preplanned systems with the following parameters:
CLX radials (CLX/MKB##/R###), attempting to emulate flow lines from Dome A and radiating (in the EPSG:3031 polar stereographic projection) from easting 965 km northing 385 km, with a separation of 0.25 degrees.
CLX corridor (CLX/MKB##/X###) rotated from the EPSG:3031 polar stereographic projection at -150 degrees and separated by 10 km in the Y direction and 3.75 km in the X direction
CLX2 corridor (CLX2/MKB##/X###) rotated from the EPSG:3031 polar stereographic projection at -150 degrees and separated by 2.5 km in its Y direction and 2.5 km in its X direction
NPXE radials (NPXE/MKB##/R####) primarily designed to survey the Upper Byrd Glacier Catchment, constitute spokes radiating from South Pole separated by 2 degrees, in the EPSG:3031 polar stereographic projection
Untargeted transit lines used the name of the expedition (CXA2) as the project, and used the flight and the increment within the flight to name the Transect (eg (CXA2/MKB2n/F10T02a).
