Melbourne, Paraguai : Gerald Murnane e a escala da literatura
No full textO presente artigo trata do conto “The Battle of Acosta Nu” [A batalha de Acosta Nu], do australiano Gerald Murnane, que aparece no livro Landscape with Landscape [Paisagem com paisagem], de 1985. Em primeiro lugar, explica o fundamento histórico do conto – o contexto australiano na década de 1890 e a fundação da colônia Nova Austrália no interior do Paraguai – e oferece um descrição geral da obra de Murnane na década de 1980. Depois, analisa “A Batalha de Acosta Nu” em relação ao romance anterior de Murnane, The Plains [A planície], e em relação aos contos que aparecem antes e depois em Paisagem com Paisagem. A seção final aborda a questão da escala na literatura e especula sobre como a obra de Murnane, com seu foco em Melbourne, pode ser compreendida no Brasil.This article examines the story “The Battle of Acosta Nu”, written by Australian author Gerald Murnane and appearing in his 1985 volume, Landscape with Landscape. Firstly, it examines the historical basis for the story – the Australian context of the 1890s and the founding of the New Australia colony in rural Paraguay – and gives an overview of Murnane’s work in the 1980s. It then analyses “The Battle of Acosta Nu” in relation to Murnane’s earlier novel, The Plains, and in relation to the stories that come before and after it in Landscape with Landscape. The final section deals with the issue of scale in the reading of literature, and speculates on how the Melbourne-focused scale of Murnane’s work can be understood in a Brazilian context

Long Waves: Conceptual, Empirical and Modelling Issues
No full textThe theory of long waves is exceptionally fortunate in that, while there is no general consensus that they exist or, assuming that they do, what an appropriate theory should be, due to the unstinting efforts of several researchers, we have encyclopaedic compendia of the literature (Freeman 1996, Reijnders and Louçã 1999) and a recent valiant attempt to write modern economic history from a long-wave perspective (Freeman and Louçã 2001). The purpose of this entry is to succinctly review the controversy about what long waves might mean as a phenomenon, how they might be measured and modelled, and where they might fit into an overarching theory of economic dynamics and evolution.economics of technology ;

Long period grating inscribed in multimode fibre interferometer and its application in refractive index sensing
No full textA long period grating (LPG) is inscribed by a femtosecond laser in the multimode region of a singlemode-multimode-singlemode fibre device to provide a compact refractive index sensor. An average sensitivity of 39 nm/RIU and a resolvable index change of 2.56×10-4 are obtained experimentally with a 44.4 mm long multimode fibre over a measured refractive index range of 1.33-1.35. Because of its compactness, ease of fabrication, linear response, high sensitivity, easy connectivity to other fiberized optical components and low cost, this refractometer could find various applications in chemical and biological sensing
