title: Dick Whittington Photography Collection, 1924-1987

description: The "Dick" Whittington Studio was the largest and finest photography studio in the Los Angeles area from 1924 to 1987. Specializing in commercial photography, the Whittington Studio took photographs for nearly every major business and organization in Los Angeles; in so doing, they documented the growth and commercial development of Los Angeles. Clients included Max Factor, the Broadway, Bullock's, and May Co. department stores, the California Fruit Growers Association, Signal Oil, Shell Oil, Union Oil, Van de Kamp's bakeries, Forest Lawn, Sparkletts Water, CBS, Don Lee Television, Goodyear Tire and Rubber, real estate developers, construction companies, automobile, aircraft, and railroad companies, and drive-in theaters. Another notable client was the University of Southern California, which contracted with the Whittington Studios for coverage of athletic and other events. The collection consists primarily of roughly 500,000 negatives; the rest are photoprints. Supporters The collection is only partially digitized, but thanks to the generous help of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the USC Libraries has digitized 76,645 at-risk negatives in obsolete formats from the 1920s to 1940s.

title: Farmers' perceptions and management of bacterial wilt disease: the case of <i>gboma</i> eggplant (<i>Solanum macrocarpon</i> L.) in Benin

description: Leafy eggplant (<i>Solanum macrocarpon</i> L.), locally known as <i>gboma</i>, is an important vegetable in West Africa, but its production is constrained by bacterial wilt (BW) disease caused by <i>Ralstonia</i> spp. Understanding farmers' awareness and perceptions of the disease, as well as their current management practices, is crucial to developing an effective extension strategy. We surveyed 572 farmers across seven agroecological zones in Benin using a questionnaire. Farmers reported that bacterial wilt as highly prevalent and severely affected their <i>gboma</i> crop yield. The lowest knowledge of the identification and mode of transmission of the disease was observed in the southwest and the north cotton zone, where 29% of the farmers used synthetic pesticides and 24% did not use any means of control. Longer crop rotation cycles were associated with a reduced bacterial wilt incidence. More knowledgeable farmers removed diseased plants and employed improved crop varieties, fallowing, and biopesticides such as neem mixed with poultry manure, fermented botanical products and cassava peels. The use of biopesticides was associated with a lower disease incidence. While some biopesticides are documented in the literature to reduce BW disease, control measures that target multiple diseases are preferred. Overall, the study results show the importance of comprehensive training on effective bacterial wilt management methods.

title: Divergent Spatiotemporal Evolution of Ecological Quality in Open-pit versus Underground Mining Areas Identified by Integrated Remote Sensing Methods

description: This dataset provides the essential code and underlying data for calculating and analyzing the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) of the Dexing and Liwu copper mining areas. The data processing and analysis are executed using a Python script named RSEI_landsat.ipynb, which is configured for the macOS operating system. All required Python libraries are explicitly specified at the beginning of the script. Prior to execution, the root directory name must be changed from "Dataset" to "Landsat8" to ensure accurate file path resolution.The dataset comprises several foundational data directories. The CLCD_dexing and CLCD_liwu folders contain surface land-use classification and transition matrices for the two mining areas, derived from China's Land-Use/Cover Datasets (Yang and Huang, 2025). The DEM_e directory stores the Digital Elevation Model data of the research areas, obtained from Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (DLR e.V. and Airbus Defence and Space GmbH, 2010). The SHP_e folder includes the boundary shapefiles of the mining regions, and the WaterMask directory provides the perennial water body distribution, sourced from JRC Global Surface Water v1.4 (Pekel et al., 2016).Additionally, the repository contains processed remote sensing and ecological metrics for both mining areas. Using Dexing as an example with the Liwu directories following an identical file structure, the dexing_main folder includes raster images of four remote sensing indices including NDVI, LST, NDBSI, and WET computed from Landsat satellite data via the Google Earth Engine platform. The dexing_main_norm directory stores the normalized versions of these four indices. The calculated RSEI images and the Delta RSEI images are located in dexing_norm_RSEI and dexing_norm_delta, respectively. The dexing_SVD_Analysis_Results_5_Years folder contains the output maps generated from the empirical orthogonal function analysis applied to the RSEI data spanning the years 2004 to 2024. Finally, the Landscape_Metrics_Results directory records the landscape pattern indices specifically for ecologically degraded zones within the mining areas, and the Land_Cover_Area_Statistics folder supplies the comprehensive land cover distribution statistics.
