Variations 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

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

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
California (México). Cartas náuticas. 1770 (1771)
No full textJunto al título Inserta nota con amplia información sobre fuentes manejadas para levantar la cartaEn el ángulo superior derecho estuvo anotado en tinta de bugalla: "3"Escala hallada del valor de 1º de latitud (= 3,1 cm)Sumario: Presenta una carta náutica reducida de la península de California y de las costas de América Septentrional, desde el itsmo que une dicha península con el continente hasta el río de los Reyes, y desde el río Colorado hasta el cabo de Corrientes, que perteneció al virreinato de Nueva EspañaCopia Digital. Real Academia de la Historia : 2010La carta manuscrita original de Miguel Constanzo y un ejemplar impreso por Tomás López se conservan en el Servicio Geográfico del Ejército (Cartografía de Ultramar. Carpeta II. Estados Unidos y Canadá. Relaciones de Ultramar, carpeta II, n.º 127, pp. 469-472, lámina n.º 127). Dos ejemplares de la estampación de 1771 se guardan en el Archivo General de Indias (Torres Lanzas, Catálogo de mapas y planos de México, t. I, n.º 255, pp. 181-182)Forma de ingreso: Seguramente es el ejemplar que regaló Tomás López en junta académica de 13 de febrero de 1778En la parte inferior: "Longitud del Meridiano de Tenerife". Márgenes graduados de 1º en 1º. Orientado con rosa de ocho vientos. Nudos de rumbosAbundante toponimia en la costa e islas. Amplio espacio en el océano Pacífico, llamado también oceáno Asiático o mar del Sur. En la parte inferior derecha, en los márgenes graduados de longitud, entre 262º y 263º está anotado en tinta: 2,66º 27' 30'' / 30' / 26' 7. Pequeñas variantes en la toponimia entre el original manuscrito y el estampado en 1771; así el "Golfo de California" se denomina en el segundo: "Seno Californio o Mar de Cortés; el "Mar Pacífico llamado por otro nombre Mar del Sur" figura en el segundo: "Mar del Sur o Mar Pacífico"Fuentes manejadas por su autor "Miguel Costansó" (Constanzo): varios diarios de navegación, que describe; unos manuscritos de los antiguos misioneros, otros de particulares sobre la costa de Sonora y diversas noticias del autor tomadas de sus viajes. Sobre la actividad de este ingeniero véase Los ingenieros militares en España, pp. 118-119En la cartela figura la fecha de la carta: "México, y octubre 30 de 1770". En la parte inferior izquierda, la de su estampación: "en Madrid año de 1771". Según indica Tomás López, ésta se la había encargado el ministro Grimaldi por la conveniencia de que "viesen los ingleses, que entonces cruzaban aquellas costas, el conocimiento, propiedad y posesión que teníamos sobre ellas" (RAH, Sign. 9-5990, f. 193v.

Sous-facteurs de L(F∞) d'indice 4cos2π/n,n≥3
No full textLet Q be a factor of type II1, λ a number in the Jones discrete series {4cosπ/m:m≥3}, and {ei} the Jones projections associated with λ. Denote by A2n and A1n the finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras generated, respectively, by {1,e2,⋯,en} and {1,e1,⋯,en}, with the corresponding traces. The author shows that, for n sufficiently large, the index of the inclusion An=(Q⊗A2n)∗A2nA1n⊂(Q⊗A2n+1)∗A2n+1A1n+1=An+1 is equal to λ (here ∗ denotes the reduced, amalgamated free product of the algebras in question). Using the random matrix model of Voiculescu, he proves that if Q is the von Neumann algebra L(F∞) of the free group with infinitely many generators, then An is isomorphic to L(F∞).
The two facts together imply the existence, for any λ in the Jones discrete series, of an irreducible subfactor of L(F∞) of index λ. This constitutes the first example of a nonhyperfinite, non-Γ II1 factor such that its Jones invariant is fully computable (the existence of nonirreducible subfactors of L(F∞) for any index ≥4 is a simple consequence of known results)
