A short proof of the Dawkins-Halperin theorem
No full textA brief proof is presented, of the Dawkins-Halperin Theorem, that if D is a finite dimensional division algebra with centre F, then the direct limits of appropriately-sized matrix rings over D and F are isomorphic; the isomorphism can be given in a form suitable for comparing cohomology groups of D and F.</p

The way to win ::taking the White House in 2008 /
No full textTwo political reporters explain what separates the victors from the victims in the unforgiving environment of modern presidential campaigns. Halperin and Harris tell how two families--the Bushes and the Clintons--have held the White House for a generation, and examine Hillary Clinton's prospects for extending this record in 2008. Bush's strategic genius is Karl C. Rove--arguably the most influential White House aide in history. Halperin and Harris reveal in behind-the-scenes detail what he actually does--his trade secrets for winning elections. In the case of the Clintons, the chief strategist is Bill himself. Drawing on their fifteen years reporting on and interviewing him, Halperin and Harris deconstruct and decipher the Clinton style--identifying techniques that all candidates can use in their pursuit of the White House.--From publisher description

Perspectives of the River Plate around the time of Rosas : an analysis based upon the personal correspondence, private memoirs and published accounts of British settlers, as well as works by creole authors
No full textThis thesis draws inspiration from the emergence of cultural studies as an academic
pursuit, in addition to the current renewal of interest in the relationship between
literary works and their socio-cultural milieux, to bring together an assortment of
textual traces pertaining to the River Plate around the era of Juan Manuel de Rosas,
governor of Buenos Aires and de facto dictator of Argentina for most of the period
1829-1852. The main texts analysed range from private documents relating to two
Scottish settler families, through accounts published by British citizens with first-hand
knowledge of the region (Un inglés, Cinco años en Buenos Aires and
Beaumont, Travels in Buenos Ayres and the Adjacent Provinces), to three influential
pieces of early Argentinian literature (Echeverria's El matadero, Mármol's Amalia
and Sarmiento's Facundo). One justification of this apparently eclectic approach lies
in the prominence accorded to the incomer in the thought of liberal Platine
intellectuals, a concern evinced in their literary production.
The methodology involves examining the representation of certain
fundamental topics across this range of written artefacts, observing frequent points of
thematic convergence amongst the various texts. In this fashion, I construct an image
of the River Plate region around the Rosas period, whilst also appraising the degree
to which early British settlers matched the idealized notion of the immigrant present
in liberal creole writings.
The study is divided into four main chapters, supplemented by an
introduction, conclusion and appendix. The first chapter summarizes the historical
context of the young Platine republics; the second deals with the themes of society,
community and family, the third focuses upon religion; the fourth considers
perspectives of politics, dictatorship and civil war. The appendix consists of an
unpublished settler autobiography, a remarkable account of the tribulations faced on
a daily basis in the developing Argentina
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
