    The object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients

    This report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

    Uno de los mejores comportamientos en la economía colombiana lo tiene el sector agrícola, ya que estos productos son los que más se exportan, debido a la calidad, producción y a las condiciones climáticas de nuestro país. En el caso específico del mango se hace necesaria la creación de esta guía práctica en donde se incluyen los procesos legales y logísticos para la exportación que cada día toma más fuerza a nivel mundial. Esta guía se compone de tres capítulos; en el primer capítulo se desarrollará los aspectos legales que se deben tener en cuenta en Colombia para la exportación y en Estados Unidos de América para la importación de mango. El Segundo capítulo definirá la trazabilidad de la exportación de mango a Estados Unidos de América. En el tercer capítulo se hace una estimación de los posibles costos que resultarían al realizar la exportación de esta fruta al mercado estadounidense por medio de tres incoterms.RESUMEN ......................................................................................................................... 8Introducción. .................................................................................................................... 101 Objetivos .................................................................................................................. 151.1 General .................................................................................................................. 151.2 Específicos ............................................................................................................ 152 Aspectos legales para la exportación de mango desde Córdoba Colombia a Estados Unidos de América. ................................................................................................................... 162.1 Generalidades del mango ...................................................................................... 162.2 Aspectos legales para la exportación de mango desde Colombia. ....................... 163 Regulaciones para exportar a Estados Unidos de América. ..................................... 233.1 Normas APHIS (Servicio de inspección Sanitaria de Plantas y Animales del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos de América para Colombia de Frutas y Vegetales Frescos. ...................................................................................................................... 244 Trazabilidad de la exportación de mango desde Córdoba Colombia a Estados Unidos de América. ................................................................................................................... 294.1 Tratamiento postcosecha del mango. .................................................................... 295 Estimación de los costos asociados a la exportación de mango desde Córdoba Colombia a Estados Unidos de América. .................................................................................. 365.1 Costos bajo la normatividad de los Incoterms FOB, CIF y DDP desde el puerto de Cartagena. .............................................................................................................................. 376 Conclusiones ............................................................................................................ 437 Referencias ............................................................................................................... 45MonografíaPregradoAdministrador(a) en Finanzas y Negocios Internacionale

    abstract: Daniel was a little boy when the war came to his village. He witnessed people being shot and running for shelter. There was no food or water so he drank urine and ate tree leaves. “Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 24Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente

    Postcard of Daniel Emmett and his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904

    Mango de Azúcar: a novel

    No full text
    Mango de Azúcar follows Sol Blumenstein, a twelfth grader in Miami who describes himself as a shapeshifter. Shapeshifting is a way for Sol to engage and communicate appropriately in any given situation. Sol’s shapeshifting begins to fail him after Pupila, an unfamiliar older relative from Bogotá, appears unexpectedly in his house. Her presence and stories bring into question Sol’s understanding of himself and his world. Tensions at school exacerbate Sol’s crisis. His public high school inequitably serves students from his working-and-middle-class immigrant neighborhood, the wealthy white city just east, and the impoverished Black neighborhood just west. Mango de Azúcar is Sol’s retrospective narration of his unraveling and reconstitution. Its narrative branches, roots, and decays as it explores Sol’s understanding of himself, his family, and his world. It asks questions such as: What stories do we tell, or refuse to tell, about ourselves? What forces shape those stories? And how do we reconcile the power we have with the power we don’t?M.F.A.Includes bibliographical reference
