Casa e transmissão hereditária na terra da Maia
Get PDFNeste artigo o autor analisa, para a Terra da Maia, a importância material e simbólica da casa de habitação, especialmente daquela relacionada com os meios de produção agrícola. A propriedade agrícola, outrora meio essencial de sobrevivência de uma larga população da região geográfica visada no artigo, incluía a casa de habitação familiar
que se tornava, dessa forma, local físico e simbólico de relevo. As estratégias de herança e de matrimónio são também objecto de análise, concluindo o autor com algumas reflexões sobre a evolução cronológica
das últimas décadas.
The author analyses the material and symbolic importance of the agricultural house, in the Terra da Maia. Rural properties, once essential for the subsistence of a large number of people in the abovementioned
geographic area, included the main house, which was inhabited by the landowners´ family and which was a physical and symbolic landmark of the property. Marriage and legacy strategies are also analysed. Some aspects of recent evolution are presented at the end of the text

GEOMETRIC CALIBRATION AND RADIOMETRIC CORRECTION OF THE MAIA MULTISPECTRAL CAMERA
Get PDFMultispectral imaging is a widely used remote sensing technique, whose applications range from agriculture to environmental monitoring, from food quality check to cultural heritage diagnostic. A variety of multispectral imaging sensors are available on the market, many of them designed to be mounted on different platform, especially small drones. This work focuses on the geometric and radiometric characterization of a brand-new, lightweight, low-cost multispectral camera, called MAIA. The MAIA camera is equipped with nine sensors, allowing for the acquisition of images in the visible and near infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Two versions are available, characterised by different set of band-pass filters, inspired by the sensors mounted on the WorlView-2 and Sentinel2 satellites, respectively. The camera details and the developed procedures for the geometric calibrations and radiometric correction are presented in the paper

In addition, adults differ in the number of segments of the palpus (three in the new species and four in the others), and gonocoxites have obtuse mesobasal lobe in <i>Lopesia pleromatis</i> (acute in <i>L. caulinaris</i> and <i>L. elliptica</i>).</p> <p> <b>CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:</b> Author declare that there is no conflicts of interest.</p> <p> <b>FUNDING INFORMATION:</b> This project did not use any external financial support.</p> <p> <b>ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:</b> I thank Dr. Mara Angelina Magenta (Universidade Santa Cecília – UNISANTA) and Dr. Suzana Ehlin Martins (Instituto de Botânica – IB) for identifying the host plant.</p>Published as part of <i>Maia, Valéria Cid, 2022, A new species of gall midge (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) associated with Pleroma raddianum (DC.)

Eça de Queiroz e as três Marias Maia
Get PDFBased on the reading of Os Maias (1888), a novel by Eça de Queiroz (1845-1900), this essay proposes an analysis of the female characters of the Maia family — Maria Runa, Maria Monforte and Maria Eduarda — seeking to observe how they were constructed to serve the model of denunciation of the Lisbon society of the 19th century XIX, the author is one of the main representative author of these Portuguese realist’s ideological proposals. Queiroz attributes to his Marias the entire tragic end of the Maia family, from their moral judgment driven by the traditional and patriarchal Lusitanian society of the time. For reflection, we bring the considerations of Barreiros (1992), Reis (2005), Moisés (2002) and Brait (1985).Com base na leitura do romance Os Maias (1888), de Eça de Queiroz (1845-1900), este ensaio propõe uma análise das personagens femininas da família Maia — Maria Runa, Maria Monforte e Maria Eduarda —, buscando observar como elas foram construídas para servir ao modelo de denúncia à sociedade de Lisboa do séc. XIX, em consonância com as propostas ideológicas da corrente realista, da qual o autor é um dos principais representantes. Queiroz atribui às suas Marias o fim trágico da família Maia, a partir do seu julgamento moral influenciado pela sociedade tradicional e patriarcal lusitana da época.

Economic Contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport
No full textIn 2016, the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service group (R/ECON™) of Rutgers University prepared the second Economic Impact Report of the Trenton Mercer Airport (commissioned by Mercer County’s Office of Economic Development and Sustainability). It follows and expands upon a preceding study conducted for Mercer County’s Division of Economic Development in November 2006.
This study analyzes the contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) to the Mercer County economy using the following direct sources of economic activity:
•Airport operating expenditures: These mainly account for the people employed to administer and operate the Airport. Operating expenditures also create jobs supported by the purchasing of supplies and materials, as well as spending on contractual services and utilities.
•Capital investments: These are made to improve the Airport’s facilities and support local jobs. Note that capital investments are not perpetual, thus their economic impacts only occur when improvement projects take place.
•Tenant expenditures: The sum of all the spending incurred by airport tenants to operate their respective businesses. This formula only includes tenants that provide aviation services or provide goods and services to airport users.
•Visitor expenditures: These account for the in-county spending by visitors arriving at the Trenton-Mercer Airport. Visitor spending not only supports airport jobs, but also retail and tourism-related employment.
By applying the R/ECON™ Input-Output model to the direct sources of airport-related spending listed above, we estimate the total economic impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) for Mercer County. The model expresses the resulting jobs, income, and wealth impacts in various levels of industry detail.
The current study is designed to inform operation strategies and establish a common base of knowledge from which long-range plans and initiatives can be developed. Additionally, this report includes a thorough property value analysis, which examines the extent to which proximity to the Trenton-Mercer Airport is correlated with the value of area properties
