    "A third campaign of archaeological field work at Mirobriga was carried out by the University of Missouri-Columbia and the Archaeological Service of Southern Portugal from June to August, 1983, William and Jane Biers continued their investigations of the Roman Bath Complex, partially excavating a pool decorated with wall paintings. A new undertaking this summer was a topographical survey and archaeological reconnaissance begun by Kathleen Warner Slane. David Soren continued his excavation on the Castelo Velho with a joint team from UMC and the University of Arizona. Reports of their work are presented by the individual directors on the following pages."--First paragraph.Includes bibliographical reference

    Mirobriga : A Portuguese-American Project in Southern Portugal

    "In 1981, the faculty of the Department of Art History and Archaeology of the University of Missouri-Columbia was invited by Dr. Caetano de Mello Beirao, Director of Antiquities for Southern Portugal, to collaborate in archaeological field work in Portugal. This was the first time that an American archaeological team was to work in Portugal. The aim of the collaboration was the investigation of a Portuguese site by modern field techniques, both to provide practical experience for young Portuguese and American archaeologists, and to generate international scholarly interest in ancient Portugal . The site chosen for the project was Mirobriga, a small town or sanctuary of Roman times, about 140 km. southeast of Lisbon, which had been founded on an earlier settlement."--Page 35.A Portuguese-American Project in Southern Portugal.

    Measuring Agricultural Means of Influence on Young Adults via Instagram in the United States

    Notable differences have been observed in how society perceives and understands the agricultural industry. Consumers today are concerned with how their food is raised and produced, and drastic changes in how information is gathered regarding those subjects have occurred due to the rapid development of digital media. As a result, the agricultural industry has fallen behind in ensuring accurate information is shared about the daily work done to feed the world. A form of digital media that has infiltrated the daily lives of society is social media (SM). This study sought to evaluate the impact established agricultural social media influencers (SMIs) on Instagram can have on changing participants\u27 perceived knowledge regarding several agricultural topics. Participants were recruited through the platform Prolific and were asked to complete an anonymous Qualtrics survey. Survey questions were asked before and after participants were shown example images of agricultural SMIs. Data collected were analyzed utilizing IBM SPSS (Version 28) to compare pre-image and post-image results to determine the contents\u27 impact on participants\u27 perceived knowledge of subjects relating to agriculture. Results indicated significant differences between the pre-image and post-image perceived knowledge results and between different forms of reported engagement willingness

    Arctic Ocean outflow and glacier-ocean interactions modify water over the Wandel Sea shelf (northeastern Greenland)

    Abstract. The first-ever conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) observations on the Wandel Sea shelf in northeastern Greenland were collected in April–May 2015. They were complemented by CTDs taken along the continental slope during the Norwegian FRAM 2014–2015 drift. The CTD profiles are used to reveal the origin of water masses and interactions with ambient water from the continental slope and the tidewater glacier outlet. The subsurface water is associated with the Pacific water outflow from the Arctic Ocean. The underlying halocline separates the Pacific water from a deeper layer of polar water that has interacted with the warm Atlantic water outflow through the Fram Strait, recorded below 140 m. Over the outer shelf, the halocline shows numerous cold density-compensated intrusions indicating lateral interaction with an ambient polar water mass across the continental slope. At the front of the tidewater glacier outlet, colder and turbid water intrusions were observed at the base of the halocline. On the temperature–salinity plots these stations indicate a mixing line that is different from the ambient water and seems to be conditioned by the ocean–glacier interaction. Our observations of Pacific water are set within the context of upstream observations in the Beaufort Sea and downstream observations from the Northeast Water Polynya, and clearly show the modification of Pacific water during its advection across the Arctic Ocean. Moreover, ambient water over the Wandel Sea slope shows different thermohaline structures indicating the different origin and pathways of the on-shore and off-shore branches of the Arctic Ocean outflow through the western Fram Strait. </jats:p
