"L'Amerique Suivant Le R. P. Charlevoix Jte. Mr. De La Condamine. et Plusieurs autres Nouvle. Observations A Paris. Par le Sr. Le Rouge Ing. Geographe du Roy. rue des Grs. Augustins 1746."
Printed in lower left corner is a table describing how the Americas have been divided up among owning European nations including France, Spain, Portugal, England and Denmark. The key shows which countries are in North America and South America. Also includes notes about which religions (Catholic, Protestant, Worship of the Sun, and the Cult of Idols) dominate in which regions.
Printed in lower right corner is a numbered list of particular changes in this map:
"Changements de Cette Carte. 1o. Dans la Baye d'Hudson la baye Repulsée la Riviere de Vager et l'Isle decouverte par les Anglois en 1742. 2o. les Cinq Lacs au Nord du Lac Superieur le Fleuve de l'Ouest & par le R. P.

Printed in upper left corner in Northern Pacific Ocean are the tracks of Alexei Tchirkow's expedition from Kamchatka to the coast of Alaska in 1741.
Depicts entire Western Hemisphere including North America, South America, Greenland, and the West Indies. Also includes part of western Africa, part of western Europe and some islands in the South Pacific including the Solomon Islands. North America has been divided into Canada, California, New Mexico, Florida, Carolina, and New England. South America has been divided into Terre Ferme, Mission Portugaises, Bresil, Paraguay, Terre Magellanique, Chili, and Peru. Shows the mythical Sea of the West, a River of the West running into it and the mythical kingdom of Quivira in the northwest coast of North America. Of note, the outline of Alaska is misshapen and much of the northwest portion of North America has been left blank or is distorted. Includes notes throughout on various discoveries of islands or places. The title cartouche is an decorated with flora, bows and arrows, a pitchfork and a parasol at the top.

Scale: ca. 1:19,000,000-40,000,000.George-Louis Le Rouge (fl. 1741-79) was a French cartographer and publisher. He also served as the "Ingenieur Géographe du Roi" in France. His 1778 atlas, "Atlas Américain Septentrional" was "one of the best French collections of North American maps" at the time of publication. His other works include "Atlas General" (1741-62), "Recueil des Cartes Nouvelles (1742), "Guerre en Europe (1743), "Atlas Portatif" (1748), and Recueil des Plans de l'Amerique Septentrional (1755) (Tooley, 389; Portinaro and Knirsch, 316).
Pierre Francois-Xavier de Charlevoix was a Jesuit missionary who was commissioned by France in 1720 to explore the area west of the Great Lakes in Canada. During his expedition he saw Niagara and Detroit. He also followed the Mississippi River south. He believed the Missouri River headed west and subscribed to the belief in the mythical Sea of the West. His memoirs of his travels are highly descriptive and though he wrote them in 1723, they were not published until 1744 (Howgego, 217).
Charles Marie de la Condamine was a French geographer and mathematician. In 1735, he was sent on an expedition to Peru to work determining distances between degrees of latitude. On his return, he explored parts of Brazil along the Amazon (Howgego, 583-4).
Alaska was first discovered and mapped by Russian explorers in the eighteenth century. Peter the Great sent out his Danish captain, Vitus Bering in 1728. Bering left from Kamchatka Peninsula and heading east but had little luck in finding land in America. In 1732, Mikhail Gvozdev saw the eastern coast of the Diomede Islands in what is now modern-day Bering Strait, prompting more exploration. In spring of 1741, the Second Kamchatka Expedition began in which Bering was able to explore the Aleutian Islands. During this expedition, Bering and his fellow commander, Aleksei Chirikov (or Tschirikov), attempted to explored the northwest coast of Alaska. Chirikov had little luck, however, landing at Baker Island and coasting north towards Baranof Island. After an exploration boat from his voyage did not return, he decided to return to Kamchatka. Bering's voyage went worse. He was able to explore a little further south and land at Kayak Island during which time the major naturalist and scientist, Georg Steller, hurriedly conducted research on the island. On his return to Kamchatka, Bering wrecked on what is now modern-day Bering Island and died during the crew's stay on the island. After nearly a year, the remaining crew was able to build a ship from the wreckage of the first ship and sail back to Kamchatka, arriving in September of 1742 (Hayes, 102-5).
This map is indicative of Tchirikow's exploration in 1741 and 1742 as well as expeditions by Charlevoix and La Condamine.

No full textCultura tributaria en los comerciantes del mercado La Condamine de la ciudad de Riobamba (Ecuador)
No full textTax culture is a matter of concern for Latin American countries, especially in Ecuador, which is reflected in the low collection of taxes by informal trade, as mentioned Díaz Navarro (2017) is thus the La Condamine Shopping Center in the city of Riobamba (Ecuador) was the setting for the present investigation, where 385 surveys were applied to the merchants that make up this market, it was validated using the Kuder Richardson formula 20 (KR-20), where the value of 0.709 was obtained, which served as a tool to achieve the objective of the research, which is to demonstrate the lack of tax culture in the merchants of the La Condamine market in the city of Riobamba–Ecuador, 86,75 % are unaware of their tax obligations, 76,62 % know that they must invoice their products, however they do not know how to do it, 96 % agree to know more about this issue.La cultura tributaria es un tema que preocupa a los economistas de los países latinoamericanos, especialmente en Ecuador, donde, como lo señala Díaz Navarro (2017), se refleja una baja recaudación de los impuestos del comercio informal. En ese sentido, el Centro Comercial La Condamine de la ciudad de Riobamba (Ecuador) fue el escenario escogido para realizar la presente investigación, para lo cual se aplicó una encuesta a los 385 comerciantes que conforman dicho mercado, la cual se validó mediante la técnica de Kuder Richardson fórmula 20 (KR-20), y se obtuvo un valor de 0.709 que sirvió como herramienta para alcanzar el objetivo de la investigación, que es demostrar la carencia de cultura tributaria en dichos comerciantes, puesto que 86,75 % de ellos desconoce sus obligaciones tributarias, 76,62 % sabe que debe facturar sus productos pero no cómo hacerlo, y 96 % está de acuerdo en conocer más sobre este tema

Full aperture backscatter diagnostics for characterization of laser plasma instabilities at the extreme light infrastructure (ELI) beamlines
No full textWe report on the commissioning of a full aperture backscatter diagnostics station for the kilojoule, nanosecond high repetition rate L4n laser operating at a wavelength of 527 nm at the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) - Beamlines, Dolni Brezany, Czech Republic. Light scattered back from laser–plasma interaction into the cone of the final focusing lens is captured and split into different channels to measure the signatures of laser plasma instabilities from stimulated Brillouin scattering, stimulated Raman scattering, and two plasmon decay with respect to back scattered energy, its spectrum, and its temporal profile. The performance was confirmed in a commissioning experiment with more than 800 shots at laser intensities ranging from 0.5 × 1013 to 1.1 × 1015 W cm−2. These diagnostics are permanently installed at ELI Beamlines, and can be used to understand the details of laser–plasma interactions in experiments with kJ and 527 nm light. The large number of shots that can be collected in an experimental campaign will allow us to study the details of the laser–plasma interaction with a high level of confidence
