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

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
Phylogenetic assessment of heterotrophic bacteria from a water distribution system using 16S rDNA sequencing
No full textDetermination of a heterotrophic plate count (HPC) for drinking-water samples alone is not enough to assess possible health hazards associated with sudden changes in the bacterial count. Speciation is very crucial to determine whether the population includes pathogens and (or) opportunistic pathogens. Most of the isolates recovered from drinking water samples could not be allocated to a specific phylogenetic branch based on the use of conventional diagnostic methods. The present study had to use phylogenetic analysis, which was simplified by determining and using the first 500-bp sequence of the 16S rDNA, to successfully identify the type and species of bacteria found in the samples. Gram-positive bacteria α-, β-, and γ-Proteobacteria were found to be the major groups representing the heterotrophic bacteria in drinking water. The study also revealed that the presence of sphingomonads in drinking water supplies may be much more common than has been reported so far and thus further studies are merited. The intermittent mode of supply, mainly characterized by water stagnation and flow interruption associated possibly with biofilm detachment, raised the possibility that the studied bacterial populations in such systems represented organisms coming from 2 different niches, the biofilm and the water column. © 2005 NRC Canada.Abraham WR, 1999, INT J SYST BACTERIOL, V49, P1053; AMY PS, 1992, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V58, P3367; Assanta MA, 1998, J FOOD PROTECT, V61, P1321; BEJ AK, 1991, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V57, P2429; BOTTGER EC, 1989, FEMS MICROBIOL LETT, V65, P171, DOI 10.1016-0378-1097(89)90386-8; Boye K, 1999, MICROBIOL RES, V154, P23; BRAUNHOWLAND EB, 1993, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V59, P3219; BURKE V, 1984, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V48, P367; CARSON LA, 1978, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V36, P839; Chang CT, 2002, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V68, P3159, DOI 10.1128-AEM.68.6.3159-3161.2002; CLARK J, 1977, CAN J MICROBIOL, V26, P827; Covert TC, 1999, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V65, P2492; Dewettinck T, 2001, APPL MICROBIOL BIOT, V57, P412, DOI 10.1007-s002530100797; Domingo JWS, 2003, WATER SCI TECHNOL, V47, P149; Fernandez M, 1997, PEDIATR INFECT DIS J, V16, P1007, DOI 10.1097-00006454-199710000-00023; Francis CA, 2001, WATER RES, V35, P3758, DOI 10.1016-S0043-1354(01)00073-2; Furuhata K, 1993, Nihon Koshu Eisei Zasshi, V40, P1047; GELDREICH EE, 1985, J AM WATER WORKS ASS, V77, P72; GILARDI GL, 1984, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V20, P626; HIRAISHI A, 1995, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V61, P2099; HOLMBERG SD, 1986, ANN INTERN MED, V105, P683; HOLMES B, 1994, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V32, P1970; Holt J.

emm typing, antibiotic resistance and PFGE analysis of Streptococcus pyogenes in Lebanon
No full textOne hundred and three Streptococcus pyogenes isolates recovered mainly from streptococcal throat infections in Lebanon were characterized by emm and PFGE typing. Thirty-three emm types and subtypes were detected among the isolates. PFGE was more discriminatory as a typing method. The prevalent emm types were emm1 (12.6 percent), emm22 (8.7 percent), emm28 (7.7 percent), emm88 (7.7 percent) and emm4 (6.8 percent) and all isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and penicillin G. Ten per cent of the isolates were resistant to erythromycin and 3percent were resistant to erythromycin and clindamycin, showing the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B phenotype. The emm sequences and PFGE pattern database that were generated in this study will serve as a basis for information for long-term evolutionary and epidemiological studies of local S. pyogenes recovered not only in Lebanon, but also in neighbouring countries. © 2011 SGM.Aziz RK, 2008, EMERG INFECT DIS, V14, P1511, DOI 10.3201-eid1410.071660; Beall B, 2000, MICROBIOL-UK, V146, P1195; Bessen DE, 2009, INFECT GENET EVOL, V9, P581, DOI 10.1016-j.meegid.2009.03.002; Chan JCK, 2009, PATHOLOGY, V41, P681, DOI 10.3109-00313020903257723; Chen YY, 2007, DIAGN MICR INFEC DIS, V58, P289, DOI 10.1016-j.diagmicrobio.2007.01.013; Chiou CS, 2004, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V42, P3998, DOI 10.1128-JCM.42.9.3998-4006.2004; CLSI, 2006, M100S16 CLSI, V26-2, pM2; Desai M, 1999, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V37, P1948; Ekelund K, 2005, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V43, P3101, DOI 10.1128-JCM.43.7.3101-3109.2005; Gracia M, 2009, DIAGN MICR INFEC DIS, V64, P52, DOI 10.1016-j.diagmicrobio.2008.12.018; Guilherme L, 2006, AUTOIMMUNITY, V39, P31, DOI 10.1080-08916930500484674; Kao Chia-Hui, 2005, Journal of Microbiology Immunology and Infection, V38, P105; Lavergne V, 2007, CAN MED ASSOC J, V177, P177, DOI 10.1503-cmaj.1070070; Luca-Harai B, 2008, J MED MICROBIOL, V57, P1354, DOI 10.1099-jmm.0.2008-001875-0; Metzgar D, 2009, PLOS ONE, V4, DOI 10.1371-journal.pone.0006897; Michos AG, 2009, DIAGN MICR INFEC DIS, V64, P295, DOI 10.1016-j.diagmicrobio.2009.03.004; Nir-Paz R, 2010, EPIDEMIOL INFECT, V138, P53, DOI 10.1017-S0950268809002805; Sagar V, 2008, BMC MICROBIOL, V8, DOI 10.1186-1471-2180-8-150; SEPPALA H, 1994, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V32, P1945; Shulman ST, 2009, CLIN INFECT DIS, V49, P78, DOI 10.1086-599344; STANLEY J, 1995, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V33, P2850; Steer AC, 2009, LANCET INFECT DIS, V9, P611, DOI 10.1016-S1473-3099(09)70178-1; Yoonim N, 2005, BMC MICROBIOL, V5, DOI 10.1186-1471-2180-5-6378
Sous-facteurs de L(F∞) d'indice 4cos2π/n,n≥3
No full textLet Q be a factor of type II1, λ a number in the Jones discrete series {4cosπ/m:m≥3}, and {ei} the Jones projections associated with λ. Denote by A2n and A1n the finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras generated, respectively, by {1,e2,⋯,en} and {1,e1,⋯,en}, with the corresponding traces. The author shows that, for n sufficiently large, the index of the inclusion An=(Q⊗A2n)∗A2nA1n⊂(Q⊗A2n+1)∗A2n+1A1n+1=An+1 is equal to λ (here ∗ denotes the reduced, amalgamated free product of the algebras in question). Using the random matrix model of Voiculescu, he proves that if Q is the von Neumann algebra L(F∞) of the free group with infinitely many generators, then An is isomorphic to L(F∞).
The two facts together imply the existence, for any λ in the Jones discrete series, of an irreducible subfactor of L(F∞) of index λ. This constitutes the first example of a nonhyperfinite, non-Γ II1 factor such that its Jones invariant is fully computable (the existence of nonirreducible subfactors of L(F∞) for any index ≥4 is a simple consequence of known results)
