Ernest Thompson Seton: an unforgettable personality, by Edgar M. Robinson
No full textThis piece, titled “Ernest Thomas Seton: an unforgettable personality”, gives a first hand interpretation of who Ernest Thompson Seton (it is believed that whoever put the cover on this document spelled his name wrong) was through the eyes of Edgar Robinson. Robinson explains what a strong relationship the two of them had and what a strong mentor Seton was to Robinson. Ernest Thompson Seton was an author and illustrator of more than 50 works, and was largely responsible for the American Indian influence in the Boy Scouts of America that offered young people knowledge of an outdoor life based on Native American Indian customs, legends and beliefs. Seton was Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America from 1910 to 1915. Edgar M. Robinson was a 1901 graduate from the YMCA Training School, now Springfield college, where he later returned to serve on the faculty as the Honorary Director of Boys Work Courses and the Adviser in Methods and Principles in Work with Boys from 1927-1937.For biographical information on Edgar M.

Os paratextos das antologias brasileiras de contos de Edgar Allan Poe no século XXI
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta tese analisa elementos paratextuais em antologias brasileiras de contos de Edgar Allan Poe lançados ou reeditados nos doze primeiros anos do século XXI, verificando de que forma o autor e sua obra são apresentados ao leitor através desses paratextos. Para tanto, analiso quartas capas, orelhas, prefácios, posfácios e notas. O nível de participação do tradutor na utilização desses elementos é também examinado, para que se possa averiguar até que ponto esse intermediador de culturas teve visibilidade nas publicações. A referida análise é norteada, principalmente, pelos fundamentos teóricos de Gérard Genette, sobretudo em seu livro intitulado Paratextos Editoriais (2009), do original Seuils (1987).Abstract : This thesis analyzes paratextual elements in Edgar Allan Poe's Brazilian anthologies of short stories published or reprinted in the first twelve years of the 21st century, observing how the author and his fictional writings are presented to the reader through those paratexts. Thus, I analyze back pages, flaps, forewords, afterwords, and notes. The use the translator made of those elements is examined in order to assess the translator's visibility in the published editions. The referred analysis is grounded mainly on Gérard Genette's theory, especially in his book entitled Editorial Paratexts (2009) from the original Seuils (1987)

No full textAccount of author Edgar Beem\u27s climb of Mount Katahdin with his 13-year-old daughter, Hannah, commenting on the social experience of climbing the mountain, and noting that as many as 50,000 people a year make the climb. The day of their climb was a Class II Day, meaning that park officials strongly recommended that climbers not go above the treeline. Somewhat relieved, Beem and his daughter contented themselves with hiking up to the treeline and turning around
To what extent may the unfavorable viewpoints of critics on E. A. Poe's use of horror and social satire in his stories be refuted by examples from and analysis of the author's eight short stories?
No full textWith numerous short stories and poems, Edgar Allan Poe is considered to be the piquant and
astounding milestone of the American Literature. Yet, his style and achievements have always
been interpreted antagonistically by large numbers of critics. This study analyzes the features
unique to Edgar Allan Poe in his short stories “Murders In The Rue Morgue”, “The Fall of
The House of Usher”, “A Tale of Jerusalem”, “The Pit and The Pendulum”, “The System of
Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether”, “A Cask Of Amonillado”, “The Masque of Red Death”
and “The Man That Was Used Up” while refuting to chosen examples of negative reviews
about Edgar Allan Poe.
Due to the fact that Edgar Allan Poe is well-known for his usage horror, satire, humor and
fiction in his short stories, these qualities have been criticized mostly by many writers and
philosophers as well. In this sense, the scope of the study will be sharpened on how these
techniques are used in his short stories to make them nonpareil and what was Edgar Allan
Poe’s authorial intention while utilizing these attributes in his works. At this point the analysis
of the characters, themes and plot will be prioritized compared to the language and style that
Edgar Allan Poe uses in his texts.
Since the criticism against Poe focus on the usefulness of such features in his short stories and
how they intimidate the reader from the text, the study proves that the gap between Poe and
the reader is a simple issue of reciprocal misunderstanding which is proven to be artificial and
bogus with examples and facts from his short stories

Edgar Allan Poe's place in literature
No full textThe more a person is subjected to criticism, the greater he usually is, for critics will not ordinarily criticize unless the subject is worthy of study and comment.
Few writers have been as severely criticized as Edgar Allan Poe, and even fewer have had to endure as much injustice. Certainly, no other American writer has been subjected to similar attacks. It is paradoxical that such a harshly criticized and detested author at home should scale the heights of glory and admiration to which he climbed in foreign opinion
Application of the boundary element method to slab floor analysis
No full textNeste trabalho utiliza-se uma formulação do método dos elementos de contorno (MEC) para a análise de pavimentos de edifícios, dando-se particular ênfase à análise de lajes cogumelo feita com a incorporação da não-linearidade física. Nesta formulação são consideradas as tensões normais e cisalhantes possibilitando, assim, a determinação da resistência última da estrutura. A formulação é inicialmente desenvolvida para a análise de flexão de placas utilizando-se a teoria de Reissner. A seguir, a formulação é estendida de modo a considerar a interação da placa com outros elementos, como vigas e pilares. Na interação placa-viga, o enrijecimento produzido é computado através de uma combinação com o método dos elementos finitos. Este modelo permite uma avaliação precisa dos momentos e forças cortantes nas interfaces da placa com os elementos lineares. Admite-se a ocorrência de um campo de momentos iniciais, viabilizando, dentre outros, o estudo de pavimentos com não-linearidade física. Para a análise do comportamento não-linear, implementa-se um algoritmo incremental-iterativo baseado no método da rigidez inicial. Visando-se obter uma melhor representação do comportamento do concreto armado, a integração das tensões ao longo da espessura é feita por um esquema numérico tipo gaussiano; a contribuição da armadura é feita de modo discreto considerada concentrada em seu centro geométrico. Pode-se, assim, avaliar separadamente o processo de danificação do concreto e o escoamento das armaduras. Para o concreto adota-se o modelo de dano de Mazars e para as armaduras longitudinais, um modelo elastoplástico uniaxial com endurecimento isotrópico. Quanto à absorção dos esforços oriundos das tensões cisalhantes, adota-se um modelo semelhante à idealização da treliça clássica de Ritter e Mörsch para vigas de concreto armado. Admite-se ainda que, após o início da fissuração, as tensões cisalhantes sejam absorvidas apenas pelas armaduras transversais. Para estas, adotase comportamento elástico linear. Objetivando-se a comprovação da eficiência da formulação proposta, são analisados alguns exemplos cujos resultados são comparados com resultados experimentais ou resultados de outros métodos de análiseThis work deals with a formulation of the boundary element method applied to slab floor analysis with special emphasis concrete flat slabs exhibiting physical non-linearities. In this formulation normal and shear components of the stress tensor are taken into account to capture more accurately the ultimate strength of the structural element. The boundary element formulation in the context of Reissners plate bending theory is initially studied. Then, the formulation is extended to deal with combinations of plate elements with other elements such as beams and columns and also to incorporate internal support effects, for which full contact is assumed over small areas. The plate-beam and plate-column interaction model is based on a combination with the finite element method. Thus, this model allows an accurate evaluation of the internal forces along the plate-linear element interfaces and also over its vicinity. The presence of possible initial moment fields is also taken into account, which enables us to consider physical non-linear behaviours. The solution of the nonlinear system of algebraic equations is based on an iterative algorithm with constant matrix. In order to obtain a better modelling of the reinforced concrete slabs, the stress integrals along the thickness are performed with an appropriate gauss scheme; the reinforcement contribution is computed by considering concentrated effects at its geometric centre. Thus, the concrete degradation and the steel yielding can be independently evaluated. To represent the concrete behaviour the Mazars damage model has been adopted, while the steel material is governed by a uniaxial elastoplastic criterion with isotropic hardening. After the initial cracking of the concrete the shear stresses are properly transferred to the shear reinforcement using the Mörsch truss concept. The accuracy of the proposed formulation is illustrated by the analysing some practical examples. The results obtained are compared with experimental results and other numerical technique solution
