    Beaming Forth Rays of Hope for All Womankind: A Comparison of Women and Men's Reflections on the 'Greatest Fair in American History' - The 1893 World's Columbian Exposition

    The World's Columbian Exposition, held in 1893 in Chicago, attracted numerous visitors from around the world to view the exhibits on technology and the advancement of civilization since the evolution of man. In the six short months of the World's Columbian Exposition's existence, approximately one in four Americans visited the fair. Visitors walked away from the grand buildings and various exhibits with impressions of grandness and perceptions of their society and civilization. This was one of the first international exhibits in which women played a major role in the organization of and fundraising the fair. Numerous women visited the fair in an American society becoming more progressive and wrote personal accounts of their observations. Thus, women observed the different buildings, exhibits, and fairgoers differently than their male counterparts, which has connotations for society and civilization in general

    A guide to central place effects in foraging.

    We develop a general patch-use model of central place foraging, which subsumes and extends several previous models. The model produces a catalog of central place effects predicting how distance from a central place influences the costs and benefits of foraging, load-size, quitting harvest rates, and giving-up densities. In the model, we separate between costs that are load-size dependent, i.e. a direct effect of the size of the load, and load-size independent effects, such as correlations between distance and patch qualities. We also distinguish between predictions of between- and within-environment comparisons. Foraging costs, giving-up densities and quitting harvest rates should almost always increase with distance with these effects amplified by increases in metabolic costs, predation risk and load-costs. With respect to load-size: when comparing foraging in patches within an environment, we should often expect smaller loads to be taken from distant patches (negative distance-load correlation). However, when comparing between environments, there should be a positive correlation between average distance and load-size
