    No full text
    This collection contains correspondence, handwritten daily notes, signed petitions, reports, contact lists, printed material, and photographs. The material was collected by Melba Fiser, a state coordinator for the Anti-Striker Replacement letter campaign in Arkansas concerning the group's efforts to gather support for the Strike Participation bill. Included are letters and printed material concerning worker and union member issues in Arkansas as well as items from the 1992 presidential campaign.; Photographs in the collection depict Fiser at various campaigns in Arkansas and nationwide, including rallies for the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), containing images of Fiser, labor leader J. Bill Becker, and politician and civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson.Melba Fiser collection, 1990-199

    A Design Space Exploration Framework for Memristor-Based Crossbar Architecture

    No full text
    In the literature, there are few studies describing how to implement Boolean logic functions as a memristor-based crossbar architecture and some solutions have been actually proposed targeting back-end synthesis. However, there is a lack of methodologies and tools for the synthesis automation. The main goal of this paper is to perform a Design Space Exploration (DSE) in order to analyze and compare the impact of the most used optimization algorithms on a memristor-based crossbar architecture. The results carried out on 102 circuits lead us to identify the best optimization approach, in terms of area/energy/delay. The presented results can also be considered as a reference (benchmarking) for comparing future work

    La giustizia negoziata in Europa: uno sguardo comparato tra Slovenia e Italia

    No full text
    Nel novembre del 2011 il legislatore sloveno ha introdotto nella legge di procedura penale la disciplina dell’“accordo di ammissione della colpevolezza”. La riforma si inserisce in un trend ormai consolidato di valorizzazione degli istituti di giustizia negoziata da parte dei legislatori europei. Un’evoluzione che affonda parte delle sue radici proprio nel patteggiamento italiano, spesso presentato come uno degli archetipi di riferimento in materia. Gli autori analizzano dunque la versione più recente della giustizia contrattata continentale alla luce dell’esperienza italiana. Con un duplice obiettivo: da un lato, quello di individuare luci e ombre del nuovo concordato sloveno; dall’altro, quello di ripensare il patteggiamento italiano, che si conferma assai distante rispetto a quello che si sta progressivamente delineando come un “modello europeo” di giustizia negoziata in senso stretto

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    Atomic scale interfacial magnetism and origin of metal-insulator transition in (LaNiO 3_3 3 ) n_n n /(CaMnO 3_3 3 ) m_m m superlattices: a first principles study

    Abstract Interfacial magnetism and metal-insulator transition at LaNiO 3_3 3 -based oxide interfaces have triggered intense research efforts, because of the possible implications in future heterostructure device design and engineering. Experimental observation lack in some points a support from an atomistic view. In an effort to fill such gap, we hereby investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of (LaNiO 3_3 3 ) n_n n /(CaMnO 3_3 3 ) m_m m superlattices with varying LaNiO 3_3 3 thickness (n) using density functional theory including a Hubbard-type effective on-site Coulomb term. We successfully capture and explain the metal-insulator transition and interfacial magnetic properties, such as magnetic alignments and induced Ni magnetic moments which were recently observed experimentally in nickelate-based heterostructures. In the superlattices modeled in our study, an insulating state is found for n=1 and a metallic character for n=2, 4, with major contribution from Ni and Mn 3d states. The insulating character originates from the disorder effect induced by sudden environment change for the octahedra at the interface, and associated to localized electronic states; on the other hand, for larger n, less localized interfacial states and increased polarity of the LaNiO 3_3 3 layers contribute to metallicity. We discuss how the interplay between double and super-exchange interaction via complex structural and charge redistributions results in interfacial magnetism. While (LaNiO 3_3 3 ) n_n n /(CaMnO 3_3 3 ) m_m m superlattices are chosen as prototype and for their experimental feasibility, our approach is generally applicable to understand the intricate roles of interfacial states and exchange mechanism between magnetic ions towards the overall response of a magnetic interface or superlattice

    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
