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

Evaluating Research Impact through Open Access to Scholarly Communication
No full textScientific research is a competitive business – in order to secure funding, promotion and tenure researchers must demonstrate their work has impact in their field. To maximise impact researchers undertake high priority research, aim to get results first, and publish in the highest impact journals. The Internet now presents a new opportunity to the scholarly author seeking higher impact: s/he can now make their work instantly accessible on the Web through author self-archiving. This growing body of open access literature (coupled with new publishing models that make journals available for-free to the reader) maximises research impact by maximising the number of people who can read it, and making it available sooner. Open access also provides a new opportunity for bibliometric research. This thesis describes the relatively recent phenomenon of open access to research literature, tools that were built to collect and analyse that literature, and the results of analyses of the effect of open access and its effect on author behaviour. It shows that articles self-archived by authors receive between 50-250% more citations, that rapid pre-printing on the Web has dramatically reduced the peak citation rate from over a year to virtually instant and how citation-impact – now widely used for evaluation – can be expanded to include a new web metric of download impact
Theory of dielectric and optical properties of PDLC films
No full textWe present results of the light scattering properties of PDLC films in the Rayleigh-Gans long wavelength régime. The calculations take into account dependent scattering effects using an effective medium theory. The Percus-Yevick hard-sphere approximation is used to introduce droplet correlation effects. We discuss the light scattering properties of radial and bipolar partially ordered droplets, making detailed comparisons with the literature where appropriate
The Marketing of a Self-Published E-Book
No full textv, 41 p.This paper, is a marketing plan for a self-published e-book. Beginning with a review of the literature on related marketing and business concepts, the author then connects these concepts to the research question: how does one market a self-published e-book? The marketing plan focuses on low-cost, online marketing techniques. These techniques include social networks, blogs, email lists and electronic word-of-mouth. She also discuss how the branding of an author and brand loyalty are connected and valuable in the marketing of an e-book. After reading this paper, one should understand the concepts related to marketing an e-book and observe one possible marketing plan an author could use to market an e-book
Anthocephalum meadowsi Ruhnke, Caira & Cox, 2015, n. sp.
No full textAnthocephalum meadowsi n. sp. (Figs. 1 E, 6 A–B, 7 A–E) Type host. Himantura leoparda Manjaji-Matsumoto & Last. Type locality. Arafura Sea east of Wessel Islands (11 ° 17 ' 44 "S, 136 ° 59 ' 48 "E), Northern Territory, Australia (NT– 32 and NT– 117). Site of infection. Spiral intestine. Type material. Holotype (QM G 234607); 2 paratypes (QM G 234608, G 234609); 3 paratypes (USNM 1251818–1251820), 3 paratypes (LRP 8540–8542); hologenophore (LRP 8514). Etymology. The species is named for John Meadows, husband of junior author Allison Cox. Description. Based on 13 whole mounts and 2 scoleces prepared for SEM. Worms slightly craspedote, euapolytic, 7.9–16.8 mm long, with 30–40 proglottids; maximum width 320–840 at scolex. Scolex with 4 bothridia and short cephalic peduncle. Bothridia stalked, slightly folded, with 98–134 marginal loculi and round apical sucker; apical sucker 45–50 in diameter. Proximal surfaces of bothridial rims covered with acicular filitriches; proximal surfaces of marginal loculi adjacent to rims densely covered with small scolopate spinitriches and acicular filitriches (Figures 7 B, C), area away from bothridial rim with acicular filitriches only; proximal nonlocular surfaces of bothridia covered with acicular filitriches (Figure 7 D). Distal bothridial surfaces and distal surfaces of apical suckers covered with small gladiate spinitriches and acicular filitriches (Figure 7 E). Immature proglottids initially wider than long, becoming longer than wide with maturity; length:width ratio at mid-strobila 1.3–3: 1. Terminal proglottid 580–1,880 long by 120–240 wide, length:width ratio 2.8–12.7: 1. Testes 15–25 in number; slightly oblong, 10–40 long by 13–40 wide, arranged in 2 irregular columns anterior to cirrussac. Cirrus-sac posteriorly recurved, 152–252 long by 80–100 wide, containing coiled cirrus; cirrus armed with spinitriches. Vas deferens dorsal, coiled anterior to cirrus-sac, expanded and descending to ovarian bridge. Genital pores lateral, slightly muscular, 42–53 % of proglottid length from posterior end, irregularly alternating. Ovary near posterior end of proglottid, H-shaped in frontal view 220–650 long by 60–90 wide. Vagina sinuous, extends from Mehlis’ gland anteriorly, then ventral and lateral to cirrus-sac, opening into genital atrium. Ovicapt at posterior margin of ovarian bridge, ventral, 20–40 in diameter. Uterus median, ventral, extending from ovarian bridge to anterior margin of proglottid; uterine duct inconspicuous. Vitellarium follicular; follicles 13–25 long by 18–43 wide, in 2 lateral bands; each band consisting of 2–3 dorsal and 2–3 ventral columns of follicles, extending from near anterior to near posterior margin of proglottid; interrupted by ovary, not interrupted by cirrus-sac. Excretory ducts lateral, consisting of 1 dorsal and 1 ventral pair. Remarks. Of the 13 species of Anthocephalum described to date, Anthocephalum meadowsi n. sp. differs from all species except A. duszynskii in that its columns of vitelline follicles are not interrupted by the cirrus-sac. Anthocephalum meadowsi n. sp. conspicuously differs from A. duszynskii in its possession of fewer proglottids (30–40 vs. 120–160) and fewer testes (15–25 vs. 35–71). It is also a much smaller (7.9–16.8 mm vs. 18–31 mm long) and more slender (320–840 vs. 1,300–1,825) worm.Published as part of Ruhnke, Timothy R., Caira, Janine N. & Cox, Allison, 2015, The cestode order Rhinebothriidea no longer family-less: A molecular phylogenetic investigation with erection of two new families and description of eight new species of Anthocephalum, pp. 51-81 in Zootaxa 3904 (1) on pages 66-69, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3904.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/28763
