Haas-Molnar Continued Fractions and Metric Diophantine Approximation.
No full textHaas–Molnar maps are a family of maps of the unit interval introduced by A. Haas and D. Molnar. They include the regular continued fraction map and A. Renyi’s backward continued fraction map as important special cases. As shown by Haas and Molnar, it is possible to extend the theory of metric diophantine approximation, already well developed for the Gauss continued fraction map, to the class of Haas–Molnar maps. In particular, for a real number x, if (p n /q n )n≥1 denotes its sequence of regular continued fraction convergents, set θ n (x) = q 2n|x − p n /q n |, n = 1, 2.... The metric behaviour of the Cesàro averages of the sequence (θ n (x))n≥1 has been studied by a number of authors. Haas and Molnar have extended this study to the analogues of the sequence (θ n (x))n≥1 for the Haas–Molnar family of continued fraction expansions. In this paper we extend the study of n≥1 for certain sequences (k n )n≥1, initiated by the second named author, to Haas–Molnar maps

No full textEthnography has become an important method for researching and interpreting the social world, not least in the field of sport and exercise studies. Ethnographies in Sport and Exercise Research is the first book to provide a contemporary overview of the current state of ethnographic research and its application within sport and exercise, introducing and explaining a range of well-established and emerging ethnographic approaches

Traduzindo as metamorfoses de narradora-mãe-tradutora: Marcela Lanius e a "Máquina de Leite", de Szilvia Molnar
No full textThe Nursery is a novel written in English by Szilvia Molnar and translated into Brazilian Portuguese by Marcela Lanius. The text, narrated in the first person by a nameless protagonist, is a careful writing project between the author and her translator character, the latter on the verge of becoming a mother through language. Marked by the often grotesque tone of the bodily metamorphosis of the postpartum period, the novel requires the translator to articulate herself and the target language in order to make the translation project resonate with the brutal and affective experiences of motherhood. In this interview, Marcela Lanius discusses her translation project, which sought to understand, translate, and recreate the strangeness of the source text.Máquina de Leite é um romance escrito, em inglês, por Szilvia Molnar, e traduzido ao português brasileiro por Marcela Lanius. O texto, narrado em primeira pessoa por uma protagonista sem nome, é um cuidadoso projeto de escrita entre a autora e sua personagem tradutora, esta última em vias de se tornar mãe pela linguagem. Marcado pelo tom muitas vezes grotesco da metamorfose corporal do pós-parto, o romance exige de quem traduz a articulação de si, e da língua de chegada, a fim de fazer o projeto de tradução ecoar em experiências brutais e afetivas da maternidade. Nesta entrevista, Marcela Lanius conta sobre o seu projeto de tradução que procurou entender, traduzir e recriar as estranhezas do texto de partida
Women and forestry : operational issues
No full textWomen are major actors in forestry throughout the developing world. Women and children are the primary collectors of fuel and fodder for home consumption and for sale to urban markets. This alone gives women a major role in the management and conservation of renewable forest resources. When convinced of the utility and practicality of a forest improvement or management scheme, women can be a powerful lobby to persuade their entire houshold or community to invest the resources necessary to make the scheme work. Involving women in forestry projects often makes the difference between achieving or not achieving project objectives, particularly for the long-term sustainability of interventions.Environmental Economics&Policies,Forests and Forestry,Forestry,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,Health Monitoring&Evaluation

Long-term vehicle reservations in one-way free-floating carsharing systems: A variable quality of service model
No full textReservations in daily services can improve user satisfaction, and give additional information about the demand patterns to the operators. However, providing reservations to carsharing clients is difficult. While carsharing is especially convenient if it is allowing one-way trips and vehicle drop-off anywhere in the service area (called free-floating), this flexibility increases management complexity because of vehicle stock imbalance. Most of the commercial providers of free-floating carsharing offer reservations under highly restrictive terms, for example only up to 30 min in advance. In this paper, we propose an innovative reservation enforcement technique that allows substantially longer reservation times while keeping the system profitable and achieving high service quality. A simple way to enforce reservations is locking vehicles until the departure time of a client. However, it comes at the cost of idling vehicles that could be used by other users and decreasing the revenue. Our approach, called relocations-based reservation enforcement method (R-BR) combines vehicle locking and relocation movements. It locks vehicles only a short time before the trip departure if a suitable vehicle is close enough due to the natural trip patterns. If no such vehicle is available, a car is relocated from another place. Further, we propose a variable quality of service (QoS) model in which the guaranteed radius around the user within which the reserved vehicle will be placed, and the maximum allowed reservation time before the departure depends on the zone of trip departure. A simulation-based optimization is used whereby the carsharing operation is simulated and optimized using an iterated local search (ILS) metaheuristic for adjustment of service level parameters. The proposed technique is tested on a set of artificial problem examples and a case study of a simulated working day in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal. Results show that the proposed R-BR method is substantially better than the simple vehicle locking when the constant QoS approach is used and that the devised ILS metaheuristic can further increase the system performance, especially with high trip volumes.Accepted Author ManuscriptTransport and Plannin
