The dialogic construction of explanation in university language classrooms
No full textThe present study proposes an investigation of explanation as occurring in university second language classrooms, and compares the results of this analysis with those of a questionnaire on explanation carried on the same university context. The questionnaire examines educators' beliefs and opinions on explanation. It addresses issues related to: (a) the interactants' roles; (b) the triggering factors; (e) the content; (d) the delivery style, and (e) the relation of explanations to proficiency levels, and (f) activity variations. The classroom data (video-taped interactions), in contras!, report what educators really do in classroom settings and allow an investigation of five categories of variables related to: (1) the initiator and the real performer of explanatory sequences; (2) the type of on-going explanation; (3) the content of the same; (4) the factors which cause explanations to occur in the interaction, and (5) the style of the explanatory delivery. Both data were collected at the American Language Institute, University in Southern California, Los Angeles, in 1987-88. The comparative analysis of the data indicates interesting matches as well as discrepancies between what educators think of explanations and what they actually do in their classes during explanatory activities
Aerostasi in chirurgia toracica nell’Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Parma: introduzione nella pratica clinica del Tachosil, un sigillante registrato come farmaco
No full textA case of pheochromocytoma with renal artery stenosis and post-surgical watery diarrhea
No full textA 35-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the following complaints, headache, sweating, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and severe hypertension. The technical images (abdominal CT, scintigraphic octreotide scan and renal arteriography) revealed the presence of a left adrenal pheochromocytoma and stenosis of the renal artery. Ten days following adrenalectomy, watery diarrhea appeared. The long-acting somatostatin analogue octreotide (LAR, 30 mg/month, i.m.), was started, and after 2 weeks diarrhea decreased and gradually disappeared. In conclusion, we were confronted with an unusual case of pheochromocytoma associated with renal artery stenosis and the appearance of watery diarrhea some days after surgical treatment. Treatment with octreotide brought about the remission of diarrhea in this patient. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel
Allestimento di formulazioni di bleomicina intralesionale per carcinoma spinocellulare in dermatologia chirurgica in un’Unità di Manipolazione Chemioterapici Antiblastici (UMaCA).
No full textOBIETTIVO DELLA RICERCA
Confermata l’efficacia di bleomicina intralesionale da un’analisi della letteratura scientifica, il presente studio si è proposto di:
- Analizzare il caso clinico di un paziente affetto da carcinoma spinocellulare non eleggibile alle terapie standard per età, condizioni cliniche generali complesse e preferenza del soggetto.
- Elaborare uno schema terapeutico per l’applicazione clinica del trattamento intralesionale con bleomicina.
- Mettere a punto un’ idonea Procedura di Allestimento della terapia oncologica presso l’Unità di Manipolazione Chemioterapici Antiblastici dell’Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Parma.
- Valutare gli esiti clinici derivanti dalla somministrazione del farmaco.
- Analizzare nuovi casi clinici per indagare ulteriormente l’efficacia della terapia intralesionale con bleomicina in campo dermatologico

No full textVariations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
[Newspaper Clipping: Author Claims Evidence of Second JFK Assassin #1]

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either
