La raza merina que entró en Australia vino de Herrera. Colectivo de los diferentes animales. El ordeño. Queso. Nombres específicos para cada pastor según el animal. Crías de los animales. La "tosquía" es un trabajo muy duro. El aprovechamiento de la lana, que da un rendimiento muy escaso. Otros animales domésticos: gallinas, conejos. Bestias de carga. El patrón. Venían de fuera. Muchos recibían fincas de la Iglesia o de Franco a cambio de favores. Herrera tiene una “jurisdicción” muy pequeña, la gente de a pie tiene terrenos pequeños, en contraste con los grandes latifundios., A pastagem. A vida das pessoas do campo era difícil.

Nomes específicos para cada pastor de acordo com o animal. Descendentes de animais. A "tosquía" é um trabalho muito duro. O aproveitamento da lã, que dá um rendimento muito baixo. Outros animais domésticos: galinhas, coelhos. Bestas de carga. O padrão. Vieram de fora. Muitos recebiam fazendas da Igreja ou de Franco em troca de favores. Herrera tem uma "jurisdição" muito pequena, as pessoas humildes têm pequenos lotes de terra, em contraste com os grandes latifúndios., Grazing. The life of the people of the countryside was hard. Construction in the field of huts with stubble and bushes; the whole family lived there. The contracts of the workers and the leases were made "from San Pedro to San Pedro". Many payments were made in kind. Cattle. There were mainly sheep. The Merino race that entered Australia came from Herrera. Collective of the different animals. Milking. Cheese. Specific names for each shepherd according to the animal. Animals' offspring. The "tosquía" is a very hard work. The use of wool, which gives a very low yield. Other domestic animals: chickens, rabbits. Beasts of burden. The master. They came from outside. Many received farms from the Church or from Franco in exchange for favors. Herrera has a very small "jurisdiction", the ordinary people have small plots of land, in contrast to the large estates.

Había gente en condiciones muy duras. Trabajos de las informantes como jornaleras, en el campo o en casas. ¿Qué animales había? Alguna gente tenía vacas para vender leche, pero sobre todo lo que había eran animales para labrar y carretar. Ganado vacuno, ovino y caprino. La tosquía. Preparación del queso. Pastores. Cochino. La matanza., Havia pessoas em condições muito duras. Os informantes trabalhavam como diaristas, nos campos ou nas casas. Que animais estavam lá?

Matança., There were people in very harsh conditions. The informants worked as day laborers, in the fields or in houses. What animals were there? Some people had cows to sell milk, but most of all there were animals for tilling and carding. Cattle, sheep and goats. Cough. Preparation of cheese. Shepherds. Pigs. Slaughter.

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.
