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

A total of 630 alpaca individuals managed at the Pacomarca experimental farm located in Puno, Perú, and subjected to selection for fibre quality traits were genotyped using the Affymetrix Custom Alpaca genotyping array (76 508 SNPs). Two tests, the integrative Haplotype Score (iHS) and the number of segregating Sites by Length (nSL), aimed at identifying incomplete sweeps, were applied on all sample genotypes to identify selective candidate genomic regions spanning genes putatively involved in fibre production. The Cross-Population Extended Haplotype Homozygosity (XP-EHH) statistic was applied to two divergent subpopulations included in the total genotyped population: one less selected (reference; 49 individuals) and one highly selected (target; 127 individuals) to assess if some of the selective sweeps identified with both iHS and nSL were fixed in the target subpopulation. A total of 544 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified as candidate selective signals using both the iHS and nSL tests. Furthermore, 27 SNPs were identified as surrounding selective signals and further considered as candidate selective signals as well. A total of 509 candidate selective genomic regions covering 14.6 Mb of the alpaca genome were constructed. Gene-annotation enrichment analyses enabled to identify 293 candidate genes in these selective candidate genomic regions. Up to 11 candidate genes (e.g. PTPRN, FRK, PTPN23, and PTPRT) were associated with Gene Ontology (GO) terms related to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation and 28 candidate genes (e.g. FOXP1, MITF, RNF10, and ZNF664) with GO terms related to RNA polymerase activity. These genes have been reported to play a crucial role in the development of animal hair follicles, as well as in regulating hair growth and quality across different livestock species. Functional annotation conducted allowed to identify four significantly enriched functional term clusters including a total of 32 candidate genes. These functional clusters may be involved in the modulation of fibre growth and quality as well as skin and hair follicle development. Moreover, enrichment analyses within candidate selective genomic regions identified with XP-EHH allowed to identify 54 candidate genes, 10 of which were also identified using both the iHS and nSL tests. However, no functional clusters were identified. The results presented suggest that the genomes analysed were shaped by directional selection for fibre quality traits, involving multiple chromosomal areas of the alpaca genome. This fits well with traits expected to be mainly controlled by genes of additive effectDepto. de Producción AnimalFac. de VeterinariaTRUEpu

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
