Housing the homeless: How revisiting the 1940s assists the struggle
Abstract A major obstacle in the political work of housing the homeless is convincing voters and lawmakers that housing is a right and should be available to all without conditions. This paper seeks to assist that project by showing that the tension between rights and conditions has a history. It focusses on the pivotal 1940s, which saw the first major

Morphologies in‐between: The impact of the first steps on the human talus
Abstract Objective The development of bipedalism is a very complex activity that contributes to shaping the anatomy of the foot. The talus, which starts ossifying in utero, may account for the developing stages from the late gestational phase onwards.

Biological Well-Being in Late 19th Century Philippines [PDF]
This paper investigates the biological standard of living toward the end of Spanish rule. We investigate levels, trends, and determinants of physical stature from the birth cohorts of the 1860s to the 1890s using data on 23,000 Filipino soldiers enlisted by the U.S. military between 1901 and 1913.

El mito del origen indígena-jesuítico del cateretê en la historiografía brasileña
Since the late 19th century, Brazilian musical historiography has agreed on attributing indigenous and Jesuitical origins to the cateretê dance. This article analyses retrospectively the mythification of that explanation, from the authors who adopted it ...

Abstract Anoplotheriines (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) were enigmatic, medium‐ to large‐sized ungulates that lived in Western Europe from the late middle Eocene to the earliest Oligocene. The unusual dental and postcranial specializations of these Paleogene mammals have no equivalent in other Cenozoic or contemporaneous artiodactyls on Holarctic landmasses.

Craniogenetic studies in Sus scrofa: With emphasis on the ‘orbitosphenoid’ problem
Abstract The orbitosphenoid is a skeletal element of the endocranium of extant mammals. However, it has also been described in many of their fossil ancestors. Craniogenetic studies show that it is composed of two types of bone: first, the cartilaginous ala orbitalis and parts of the trabecular plate are transformed by endochondral ossification; second,

Deformation of minimal surfaces with planar curvature lines [PDF]
Minimal surfaces with planar curvature lines are classical geometric objects, having been studied since the late 19th century. In this paper, we revisit the subject from a different point of view. After calculating their metric functions using an analytical method, we recover the Weierstrass data, and give clean parametrizations for these surfaces ...
