This local geomagnetic index indicates the perturbation of the geomagnetic field (horizontal component) for several locations. It is a measure of the external to the Earth irregular geomagnetic variations. It is obtained after removing a baseline and the daily regular variation from observed measurements.

Graphene oxide (GO) is gaining a lot of interest in material science, biomedicine and biotechnology due to its outstanding physical properties, combined with its surface functionalization capacity, processability in aqueous media and biocompatibility. However, van der Waals forces among GO layers result in aggregation, yet its dispersion, large-scale production, and reinforcing efficiency remain challenging. In this project, simple and environmentally friendly methods via covalent and non-covalent routes have been developed to exfoliate and prepare surface-functionalized GO nanosheets with tannic acid (TA), a biological macromolecule with antioxidant activity. Four esterification strategies were tested: direct, carbodiimide activated, oxalyl chloride acylation and via an acid-functionalized GO intermediate. The resulting samples have been extensively characterized to get knowledge on the GO-TA interactions and the degree of grafting, as well as their surface topography, level of hydrophilicity, solubility/dispersibility, thermal and antibacterial properties. The covalent grafting of TA renders the GO surface more hydrophobic, resulting in improved dispersion in organic solvents. Besides, TA acts as a crosslinker between the GO nanosheets, leading to higher thermal resistance. A synergistic effect of both GO and TA on inhibiting bacterial growth has also been found. The esterification via carbodiimide leads to the highest grafting degree, the best thermal stability and the most effective antibacterial activity. This work not only highlights the great potential of TA for both exfoliation and surface functionalization of GO, but also extends its applications in biomedicine and for the development of green nanocomposites.

This dataset in an Excel file presents our data-base on world trade from 1800 to 1938. We have collected or estimated series of imports and exports, at current and constant (1913) prices and at current and at constant (1913) borders, for 149 polities. After a short review of the available series, we describe the methods for the construction of the data-base. We then deal with the criteria for the inclusion of polities, the representativeness of our series, the main types of sources, the procedures of deflation and, when necessary, of adjustments to 1913 borders. We discuss the details of the estimation of our polity series in Appendix B. Following Feinstein and Thomas (2001), we assess the reliability of our polity estimates. In the last two sections we present our trade series at current and 1913 borders and compare them with other available series. This dataset is related to the working paper "World trade, 1800-1938 : a new data-set" by Giovanni Federico and Antonio Tena Junguito, available on:http://hdl.handle.net/10016/22222.
