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
Gilbert-Charles Picard (1913-1998) et les Religions de l'Afrique Antique
No full textThis article analyses, from a historiographic
perspective, the most important aspects of
Charles-Gilbert Picard’s work on the religious
world of the populations inhabiting the Maghreb
during the Punic and Roman periods, with
special emphasis on his magnum opus on the
subject, Les religions de l’Afrique Antique. In doing so, I have attempted to explain the evolution
in thought of an author who was one of the most
prominent scholars of the ancient religions in
North Africa between the end of the Second
World War and the process of decolonisation of
the Maghreb.This contribution is a product of the synergy between two different projects, EPIDI: Epítetos divinos: experiencia
religiosa y relaciones de poder en Hispania (HAR207-84789-C2-2-P), funded by the Spanish Ministry
of Science, Innovation and Universities, at University Carlos III of Madrid, and RomanIslam – Center

San Carlos Apache Tribe transit feasibility study : final report
No full textabstract: In October 2009, the San Carlos Apache Tribe completed an update to their Long-Range Transportation Plan. One of the recommendations from the LRTP was for the Tribe to conduct an extensive transit feasibility study to evaluate the existing services and identify improvement opportunities. The San Carlos Apache Transit Services applied for, and received Planning Assistance for Rural Areas program funding from the Arizona Department of Transportation Multimodal Planning Division to conduct the Transit Feasibility Study. The study consists of two separate phases: The first phase focuses on the feasibility of expanding and enhancing the San Carlos Apache Transit Services operation, and the second phase is the development of a five-year plan for implementing the recommended enhancements and service expansion. This is the Final Report for the first phase of the study.Includes bibliographical references (p. 70)

Producción científica y visibilidad de los investigadores de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid en las bases de datos del ISI, 1997-2003
No full textLos objetivos planteados en esta tesis son conocer los hábitos de publicación de los investigadores adscritos a un conjunto de áreas/departamentos de la UC3M, durante el período 1997-2003, en las bases de datos del Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), identificando la calidad de las publicaciones recogidas (documentos propios y citas recibidas), medida ésta en términos de impacto y visibilidad, y relacionando esta calidad con los hábitos de publicación obtenidos.
La metodología utilizada en el trabajo ha requerido la aplicación conjunta de técnicas estadísticas (univariantes, bivariantes y multivariantes), y del análisis de redes sociales, para la construcción de indicadores bibliométricos unidimensionales y multidimensionales, tanto de la producción científica identificada como de las citas recibidas por la misma.
Entre las conclusiones del estudio destaca que tanto la producción como las citas recibidas en todas las áreas/departamentos analizados tienen una tendencia ascendente, que los trabajos se realizan habitualmente en colaboración, así como que las temáticas con mayor producción son Física y Matemáticas, que gran parte de la investigación se publica en revistas situadas en el primer cuartil del Journal Citation Reports (JCR), y que esta actividad investigadora recibe normalmente citas de revistas con igual o mejor posición en el JCR en función de su Factor de Impacto
Fenbendazole and triclabendazole effects on CYP1A1/1A2 and FMO1/3 mRNAs in cattle liver slices: preliminary results
No full textBackground. Fenbendazole (FBZ) and triclabendazole (TCBZ) are benzimidazole drugs (BZDs) widely used in veterinary practice as anthelmintics. Members of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and flavin monooxygenase (FMO) superfamilies of drug metabolizing enzymes are primarily responsible of their biotransformation1. The xenobiotic-dependent up-regulation of CYPs is well documented, while FMOs are generally considered not inducible2. In the present study, the effect of FBZ and TCBZ (alone or in combination) on CYP1A1/2 and FMO1/3 mRNA levels were measured on precision-cut bovine liver slices (bLS).
Methods. Precision-cut bLS from 6 male cattle were obtained according to Maté et al3. Following the fine-tuning of an absolute quantification protocol for target genes4, bLS were incubated for 0, 6 and 12 h with FBZ and TCBZ (50 μM), alone or in combination. β-naphthoflavone (βNF, 25 μM) was used as positive control to confirm gene induction. Target gene mRNA levels were measured by qPCR. The TATA Box binding protein and ribosomal protein lateral stalk subunit P0/β-actin were used as internal control genes to normalize FBZ/TCBZ and βNF data, respectively.
Results. At T0, CYP1A2 mRNA levels were 25-fold higher than CYP1A1; however, FMO1 and 3 were equally represented. βNF up-regulated CYP1A1 (P<0.05; 4-fold vs control) after 6 h of incubation, while increasing amounts (P<0.05) of CYP1A2, FMO1/3 mRNAs were noticed after 12 h (4-, 2.5- and 3.5-fold vs control, respectively). Concerning BZDs, FBZ increased CYP1A1/2 mRNAs (P<0.05) after 12 h of incubation, whereas TCBZ up-regulated only FMO3 (P<0.05) and after 6 h. No transcriptional effect was ever noticed following bLS exposure to BZDs combination.
Conclusion. Likewise to humans, bLS appear to be a reliable model to study CYP1A induction by NF and other potential aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonists. Meanwhile, for the first time we proved cattle FMO1-3 up-regulation by NF. About BZDs, FBZ and TCBZ were shown to affect CYP1A1/2 and FMO3 gene expression. Confirmatory studies on CYP1A and FMOs catalytic activities are actually underway
Carlos C. Campbell card
No full textCarlos C. Campbell (1892-1978) was a founding member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association. Formed in 1923, the association promoted the establishment of a national park in the Great Smoky Mountains. The archival material in this series is part of the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Campbell was also a member of the club and is author of “Birth of a National Park,” published in 1960
Carlos Bulosan portrait, 1951
No full textPH Coll 1156.5Bulosan, Carlos (1911?-1956): Prolific writer and poet, best remembered as the author of AMERICA IS IN THE HEART, a landmark semi-autobiographical story about the Filipino immigrant experience. Bulosan gained recognition in mainstream American society with the 1944 publication of LAUGHTER OF MY FATHER, which was excerpted in the New Yorker, Harper’s Bazaar, and Town and Country. He immigrated to America from the Philippines in 1930, endured horrendous conditions as a laborer, became active in the labor movement, and was blacklisted along with other labor radicals during the 1950s. He spent his last years in Seattle, jobless, penniless, and in poor health.To order a reproduction, inquire about permissions, or for information about prices see:
