Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Ekphrasis and self-representation in Esta noite sonhei com Brueghel [Last night I dreamed of Brueghel], by Fernanda Botelho
No full textDissertação de mestrado em Literaturas de Língua PortuguesaSituando-se no quadro dos estudos literários e intermediáticos, a presente dissertação tem por
objetivo desenvolver uma reflexão acerca da utilização, na narrativa romanesca, do dispositivo ecfrástico
– que, até aqui, tem sido analisado sobretudo no âmbito da poesia – bem como suas articulações com
a autobiografia e o autorretrato literário.
O corpus de partida e análise foi o romance Esta Noite Sonhei com Brueghel (1989), da autora
Fernanda Botelho (1926-2007), onde procurei investigar os respetivos mecanismos ecfrásticos, os quais
põem em jogo as telas do pintor renascentista flamengo Pieter Brueghel (1530-1569) que servirão à
protagonista Luíza para sucessivas inflexões autorreflexivas e analíticas perante as situações de seu dia
a dia.
Em termos metodológicos, a investigação parte do conceito de écfrase aplicado à narrativa
literária, analisando a sua rentabilidade nos processos de autorrepresentação romanesca; como
referências teóricas neste campo de estudos utilizei, centralmente, Heffernan (1991), Moisés (2004),
Hansen (2006), Louvel (2012), Avelar (2018). No confronto do universo romanesco de Fernanda Botelho
com a pintura de Brueghel e no que concerne as noções de retrato literário e autobiografia foram
convocados, entre outros, estudos de Genette (1972), Beaujour (1980), Deleuze (1985), Lejeune (1996),
Leonel Lopes (2002) Bonn (2007), Marcelo Oliveira (2012), Lepecki (2012).Situated within the framework of literary and intermedia studies, this dissertation aims to develop
a reflection on the use, in the novelistic narrative, of the ekphrastic device – which, until now, has been
analyzed mainly in the context of poetry – as well as its articulations with autobiography and literary self portrait.
The corpus of analysis was the novel Esta Noite Sonhei com Brueghel (1989), by the author
Fernanda Botelho (1926-2007), where I tried to investigate the ekphrastic mechanisms, which put into
play the canvases of the Flemish Renaissance painter Pieter Brueghel (1530-1569) that will serve the
protagonist Luíza for successive self-reflexive and analytical inflections in face of the situations of her daily
life.
In methodological terms, the investigation starts from the concept of ekphrasis applied to literary
narrative, analyzing its profitability in the processes of novelistic self-representation; as theoretical
references in this field of studies I used, centrally, Heffernan (1991), Massaud Moisés (2004), Hansen
(2006), Mário Avelar (2018). In the confrontation of Fernanda Botelho's novelistic universe with
Brueghel's painting and the notions of literary portrait and autobiography, I used, among others, studies
by de Genette (1972), Beaujour (1980), Deleuze (1985), Lejeune (1996), Leonel Lopes (2002) Bonn
(2007), Marcelo Oliveira (2012), Lepecki (2012)

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Um olhar sobre a história da Escola Municipal Julieta Botelho
No full textNesse trabalho de conclusão de graduação em Pedagogia, busco olhar e resgatar um pedaço da história da Unidade Escolar de Educação Infantil Julieta Botelho, localizada no bairro do Fonseca, na cidade de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. A escola, que foi uma das primeiras instituições de educação infantil no município, hoje é referência para a população de Niterói e dos municípios vizinhos, pelo compromisso das educadoras e pela qualidade em seu ensino. A UMEI Julieta Botelho venceu o tempo, sobrevivendo há muitas décadas e suas mudanças, trazendo, em sua história, marcas das diferentes concepções de educação infantil: escola maternal, jardim de infância e educação infantil atualmente e a diferentes políticas educacionais. Sua história inicia-se no período da Primeira República e ainda é construída pelas pessoas que por lá passam. A presente pesquisa está organizada em quatro capítulos. Ao longo deste estudo, a investigação em periódico foi instrumento metodológico da pesquisa. Autores como BENJAMIM (1994), BORGES (2015) e MARTINS (2008) compõe o referencial teórico com o qual o trabalho dialogaIn this work of graduation in Pedagogy, I seek to look at and rescue a piece of history from the Julieta Botelho School of Early Childhood Education, located in the Fonseca neighborhood, in the city of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. The school, which was one of the first institutions of early childhood education in the municipality, today is a reference for the population of Niterói and neighboring municipalities, due to the commitment of the educators and the quality of their teaching. UMEI Julieta Botelho has overcome time, surviving for many decades and its changes, bringing, in its history, marks of different conceptions of early childhood education: nursery school, kindergarten and early childhood education and different educational policies. Its history begins in the period of the First Republic and is still built by the people who pass through it. This research is organized in four chapters. Throughout this study, research in a journal was a methodological instrument of research. Authors such as BENJAMIM (1994), BORGES (2015) and MARTINS (2008) make up the theoretical framework with which the work dialogue
Compact and versatile caesium thermal photonic-cells based on microstructured hollow core fibres for frequency and time references
No full textThe recent developments in fabrication of hollow core Photonic crystal fibres (HC-PCFs), especially Anti-resonant fibres (ARFs), made this class of fibre very attractive for gas-phase applications, which ultimately led to the concept of photonic reference cell. This device is a fully-connectorised, stand-alone, HC-PCF filled with a gas specimen. Its application spans from instrument calibration, quantum optics to high-resolution spectroscopy and metrology.For time and frequency applications, the use of alkali metals with narrow atomic features (in the kHz range) is a requirement for ultra-stable reference signals. However, the coherence time of atoms is strongly dependent on the vapour dynamics and photonic cell geometry. This dependency limits the use of alkali vapour in miniaturised reference cells, such as photonic cells, because of the short coherence time that leads to atomic features in the MHz range, for reference cells with cross-section of 100 μm, operating at room temperature. The diffusion of the vapour can be tailored by adding a mixture of inert gas (buffer gas), with resulting atomic features between kHz and sub-kHz range. This is a very well-known method widely used in standard reference cells.This thesis reports on the advances in HC-PCFs technology for time and frequency reference applications. Firstly, I present a method to interconnect solid core fibres and HC-PCFs with dissimilar core sizes by employing a mode field adapter (MFA) to mediate the joint. I model and demonstrate the use of such MFAs for a photonic cell, fully-connectorised to SMFs. Secondly, I demonstrate for the first time spectroscopy of coherent population trapping (CPT) dark resonance in Kagome-lattice ARFs filled with Cs. CPT is a quantum effect very useful in frequency reference applications as it can provide an indirect measurement of the Cs clock transition (~9.2 GHz). I model and demonstrate world record line-width narrowing of CPT dark resonance in HC-PCFs and micro-metre scale capillaries filled with thermal Cs-vapour, with experimental observation of line-widths below 50 kHz for a Kagome-lattice ARF with a hollow core diameter of 125 μm
TIM23-mediated insertion of transmembrane alpha-helices into the mitochondrial inner membrane
No full textWhile overall hydrophobicity is generally recognized as the main characteristic of transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices, the only membrane system for which there are detailed quantitative data on how different amino acids contribute to the overall efficiency of membrane insertion is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells. Here, we provide comparable data for TIM23-mediated membrane protein insertion into the inner mitochondrial membrane of yeast cells. We find that hydrophobicity and the location of polar and aromatic residues are strong determinants of membrane insertion. These results parallel what has been found previously for the ER. However, we see striking differences between the effects elicited by charged residues flanking the TM segments when comparing the mitochondrial inner membrane and the ER, pointing to an unanticipated difference between the two insertion systems.
