Around the castle: a reading of Modesto Carone\'s narratives
No full textDentro dos dilemas vividos pela literatura contemporânea brasileira, principalmente nas duas últimas décadas do século XX, interessa-nos o estudo das narrativas breves de Modesto Carone, com foco mais detido nos contos Dias melhores (As marcas do real, 1979), Ponto de vista (Aos pés de Matilda, 1980) e O Natal do viúvo (Por Trás dos Vidros, 2007), principalmente porque estes contos fazem referência às questões da identidade e da subjetividade, como estas se apresentam em nossos dias, e trabalham a literatura como elemento crítico da sociedade. Utilizando pressupostos da Teoria Crítica, como os formulados por Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer e Walter Benjamin, este estudo tem como objetivo iniciar uma investigação a respeito da formalização estética de questões sociais presente na narrativa de Modesto Carone e espera poder contribuir para novas possibilidades de interpretação da obra do autor brasileiro dentro do painel da literatura contemporânea.Among the dilemmas experienced by contemporary Brazilian literature, especially over the last two decades of the twentieth century, I have chosen to discuss issues of identity and subjectivity, as they present themselves in three short stories by Modesto Carone, Dias melhores (As marcas do real, 1979), Ponto de vista (Aos pés de Matilda, 1980), and O Natal do viúvo (Por Trás dos Vidros, 2007). Using the assumptions of Critical Theory, as formulated by Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Walter Benjamin, this study aims to investigate the aesthetic formalization of social issues present in Modesto Carone`s and hopes to contribute to new possibilities of interpretating the Brazilian authors work within the reality of contemporary literature, understood as a critical element of society
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Residual stress measurement on Titanium Grade 5 and Inconel 625 thin dissimilar welded joints by contour method
No full textResidual stress assessment is a key factor in engineering design owing to its impact on engineering properties of materials, structural components and welded joints. In dissimilar welding, residual stresses arise due to both the welding process itself and the different coefficients of thermal expansion of the two welded materials. The longitudinal residual stresses in 2-mm-thick laser-welded Ti–6Al–4V and Inconel 625 plates with two intermediate inserts of Vanadium and steel were determined using the contour method and the X-ray diffraction. For all the specimens analyzed, the contour method stress maps revealed that the highest tensile residual stress zone occurred in the steel insert, while compression was found in the base metals. Moreover, harmful surface tensile stresses arose at the welds between steel and Vanadium. Lastly, among the three welding schemes examined, the dissimilar joint realized with the AISI 316L insert exhibited the lowest harmful surface tensile residual stresses
A Gaussian Process Regression-Based Approach for Residual Stress Measurement by Incremental Hole Drilling
No full textIncremental Hole Drilling is a well-established technique for measuring residual stresses; it involves relaxing residual stresses by incrementally drilling into the material and simultaneously measuring strains using strain gauge rosettes. The measured strains and residual stresses are related by an integral formulation, so an elastic inverse solution is required to calculate the stress field. Typically, strains are measured at different depths than those at which the residual stress calculation is performed. Therefore, it is common practice to fit the strain measurements at depth using polynomials or splines. However, the choice of fitting parameters can critically affect the final measurement output. This study evaluates the uncertainty associated with the deformation fitting procedure using Gaussian Process Regression, a probabilistic machine learning algorithm capable of producing uncertainties associated with the fit itself. These fit uncertainties were then propagated to the residual stresses through a Monte Carlo simulation. The developed methodology was applied to AA 7050-T7451 aluminum samples surface treated by laser shock peening
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
