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
Selenops Latreille 1819
No full textSelenops Latreille, 1819 Selenops Latreille, 1819: 579. Type species: Selenops radiatus Latreille, 1819. Hypoplatea MacLeay, 1839: 6. Type species: Hypoplatea celer MacLeay, 1839. First synonymized by Walckenaer (1842: 457). Orops Benoit, 1968: 116. Type species: Selenops littoricola Strand, 1913. First synonymized by Corronca (1996 a: 60). Diagnosis. Selenops differs from other selenopid genera by the arrangement of the eyes. The anterior median eyes (AME), posterior median eyes (PME) and anterior lateral eyes (ALE) aligned or slightly recurved (Fig. 88 D), with the PME equal or subequal in size to AME. Leg II> leg IV; tibiae and metatarsi III with v 2 2 2 (Fig. 88 E) and v 2 2 spines respectively. Male palp with a retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA), with a dorsal part (dra) and a ventral part (vra); RTA usually not flattened with dra> vra. Median apophysis (am) small and simple with one or two branches. Female epigynum with central area welldeveloped, with distinct lateral lobes and epigynal pockets bigger than genital openings. Description. Prosoma brown to reddish brown, usually with dark spots. Chelicerae brown, normally with black or grey spots. Labium and sternum usually paler in colour. Anterior part of opisthosoma truncated and grey or yellowish with brown or black dorsal marks; several species with a distinct colour pattern on dorsal opisthosoma (Fig. 88 B). Venter of the opisthosoma yellowish, without markings; lateralposterior margins with dark spots, lines or bands. Some species with tufts of white hairs posteriorly on the opisthosoma. AME, ALE and PME in one line, PLE largest, situated on a posterolateral tubercle; ALE the smallest. Prosoma wider than long (Fig. 88 A), clypeus <AME. Chelicerae with distinct lateral condyles and cheliceral furrows with three prolateral and two retrolateral teeth (Fig. 88 F). Labium as wide as or wider than long. Sternum subcircular, sometimes slightly bifurcated posteriorly (Fig. 88 C). Palps usually with tibia longer than patella. Legs long, laterigrade and with second pair usually longer than the fourth. Tarsi twoclawed, with one claw slightly pectinated, the other generally smooth. Trichobothria on tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi. Leg spination: femora IIV with d1.1.1; tibiae III with v2.2.2 and metatarsi III v 2.2, males normally with many more spines than the females. Dorsal part of male RTA in a few cases with two branches or hypertrophied. Petiolus (sclerite of basal haematodocha) well developed, triangular or elongated; subtegulum with 15 anelli and with terminal depression, the latter with one interlocking prolateral projection. Embolus short and broad or long and slender, but always with a large sclerotized conductor covering a large part of it. The form of the conductor varies between species from Tshaped and subtriangular to falciform. Median apophysis with one or two branches. Epigynum with middle field well developed or reduced. Middle field consists of a septum or a depression, in which the lateral lobes of the epigynum may reach each other or not at the midline. Secondary epigynal pockets present. Spermathecae usually simple, in several cases complex. Species inquirendae. The type specimens of Selenops fugitivus Walckenaer, 1837, S. modestellus Strand, 1907 and S. nanus Strand, 1907 were destroyed during the two World Wars and the species cannot be identified from the original descriptions (Benoit 1968). The above mentioned species are not included in this study.Published as part of Corronca, J.

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
