Fernando Martinez Hidalgo (1824-1901): Atividade docente no Rio de Janeiro (1854-1901)
Full text linkEm princípios do século XIX, centenas de professores de música estrangeiros foram atraídos para o território brasileiro por uma soma de fatores, dentre os quais desponta a chegada da família real portuguesa (1808). Com períodos de maior ou menor intensidade, esta prática perdurou durante as décadas seguintes, motivando a chegada do violonista espanhol Fernando Martinez Hidalgo, em 1854, ao Rio de Janeiro. Através do levantamento de fontes em periódicos oitocentistas (115 entradas), o artigo suscita dados biográficos e enfoca na análise de sua atividade docente, objetivando identificar possíveis contribuições deste personagem pouco conhecido para o panorama violonístico de seu tempo
Besieging history. Gramscian concepts through Fernando Martinez Heredia
No full textEn este trabajo se intenta explicar cómo el historiador Fernando Martínez Heredia retoma los “usos” de Gramsci para reconstruir el largo siglo XX cubano, en particular la Revolución antimachadista de 1930. El artículo se centra en tres puntos: 1) la concepción de la historia como problema; 2) la dimensión política del sujeto de la historia, y 3) el papel del tiempo como eje analítico de la realidad cubana. A lo largo del trabajo se hacen cruces con la obra de otro cubano, Alejo Carpentier, que también dedicó parte de su obra a explicar la revuelta popular de 1930. Ambos cubanos presentan una forma peculiar de reconstruir y entender la movilización social: a partir de la vida y la experiencia de los sujetos anónimos. La diferencia estriba en que para el novelista el proceso tiene un carácter existencialista, mientras que para el historiador tiene una dimensión social. A manera de un montaje cinematográfico se intercalan citas de Gramsci para resaltar las deudas que con él tiene Martínez Heredia.The author intends to explain how Fernando Martinez Heredia brings back the “uses” of Gramsci’s work to reshape our understanding of XX Century Cuba, particularly the anti-Machado movement of 1930. This works focuses on three areas: 1) the conception of history as an issue; 2) the political dimension of the subject in history, and 3) the role of time as analytical axis of the Cuban reality. Throughout the article, we take into consideration the works of another Cuban scholar, Alejo Carpentier, who also studied the 1930 popular uprising. Both of them understood social mobilization in a particular way, mainly focusing on the people’s life experiences. However, they have a difference. One of them, the novelist, used existentialist arguments in the analysis, while the historian brought a social dimension to it
Modal identification of bridges based on continuous dynamic monitoring
No full textThe identification of modal parameters of bridges based on ambient vibration measurements has motivated an increased interest as a tool for detection and diagnosis of small changes in vibratory characteristics and, thus, provides important information to support an efficient maintenance policy. However, the large volume of data continuously produced by a dynamic monitoring system requires an automatic data processing to extract the modal parameters. This paper presents an integrated system developed for this purpose and its application to the data collected from a large cable-stayed bridge.10phttp://www.ndt.net/events/EWSHM2016/app/content/topic.php?eventID=34&TopicID=3489 .

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
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
Characterization of rubberized asphalt for railway sub-ballast. Improvements in the mix-design, performance features and rational methodology of HMA_RUMAC blends for railways
No full text(STR) can be incorporated into asphalt mixtures in two different methods, which are referred to as the wet-dry process. The blending of recycled rubber (CRM) with asphalt has been used for years, and several manufacturing processes have been developed in Europe as well as in the USA. The use of a bituminous sub-ballast layer has been pointed out as an exciting alternative to the granular sub-ballast design traditionally applied in most railroad tracks. Frequently, unbound granular materials are replaced by bituminous sub-ballast that provide additional benefits to the subgrade protection.
Much research has been conducted on finding other alternative material to be used as a modifier in asphalt mixes to improve its properties. Rubberized asphalt mixtures (RUMAC) are regarded as a proper solution for improving the strength of the rail-track section. In comparison with traditional granular subballast, these materials allow an increase in bearing capacity and excellent protection of the substructure.
The recycled rubber has become a significant enhancer of the modified bituminous mixtures, and in this work, it has been shown as a sustainable improvement option in hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixes due to the elastic behavior exposed by the rubber particles especially in reducing the fatigue cracking potential.
This thesis presents a laboratory evaluation of the performance of HMA-DRY mixes to study its application as sustainable bituminous sub-ballast manufactured from scrap tires at the end of their service life. To this end, the procedures developed in the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Palermo during 2014 to 2017, were focused on evaluating the mechanical behavior of bituminous materials in comparison to that presented by conventional sub-ballast. Mechanical performance was examined concerning the primary requirements that need these materials (resistance to energy dissipation, fatigue cracking strength and, waterproof properties) for their use in railway tracks.
Inside the SUP&R ITN project, enrolled as an ESR-8 fellow, the primary purpose of this laboratory research was the application of ambient crumb rubber (0.2mm to 0.4mm) and ground rubber (2mm to 4mm) recycled from discarded truck tires. CRM was processed at a standard temperature (20oC) inside hot bituminous mixtures (160-220oC) as a substitute for 1.5%, 2% and 3% by weight of the total aggregates using the Volumetric Mix-Design gyratory compactor (SGC) and Asphalt Slab Roller Compactor (ASRC).
The impact of temperature on the mechanical properties and thermal susceptibility of the railway bituminous sub-ballast layer has served as motivation to develop the advanced measurement of the thermal cycles inside the rail track. Different simulations following the AASHTO Mechanistic calibrated model with Kentrack and Kenpave software (Univ. Kentucky) were developed to be effective with the best mix-design for railways. Thermal cycles in this layer and, an evaluation of the characteristic parameters were found. A chapter was then included on the application of the AASHTO mechanistic-empirical pavement design approach to railways, to calculate first strain and deformation parameters, resulting in a rationale for the definition of a Railway Equivalent Standard Axle Load (RESAL) and a design number of gyrations for use with SGC.
CRM incorporated into asphalt mixes by using “dry process” method which refers to technology that mixes the fine-ground rubber with the aggregate before mixing it with asphalt binder. Two aggregate gradations were considered under this investigation, dense-graded (asphaltic concrete with 22.4mm nominal maximum aggregate size) and gap-graded (stone mastic asphalt with 31.5mm maximum aggregate size). For each particle size distribution, of an aggregate sieve, the percentages of CRM added varied from 1 to 3% by weight of the total aggregates. Italian standard (RFI) as grading curve and Superpave gyratory compactor technique (SGC) as mix-design were used.
The UGR_FACT device investigated that RUMAC mixes had shown a higher resistance to fatigue cracking compared to the conventional blend (HMA) as a performance indicator. The results proved that the rubberized sustainable solution studied can offer advantages such as reducing greenhouse emissions, fuel consumption and, a suitable performance for railways tracks from a mechanical behavior point of view. The purpose of using rubber modifiers in HMA to obtain a stiffer-elastic sustainable material has been achieved for the assessment of its behavior in the sub-ballast layer. The better overall performance and fatigue results obtained were with an amount of 2% of crumb rubber and a 6% of bitumen added
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
