Viajantes ex-cêntricas nas histórias de Ana Miranda
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.No conjunto das narrativas ficcionais da escritora brasileira Ana Miranda, a temática da viagem # considerada uma das mais férteis da literatura ocidental de todos os tempos # ocupa um espaço de centralidade, podendo até mesmo ser vista como o mais importante eixo de estruturação de suas obras. O estudo realizado pela presente tese tem por objetivo analisar o tratamento dado ao tema da viagem nos romances Desmundo, O retrato do rei, Dias & Dias e Amrik, evidenciando que por intermédio das narradora-viajantes # Oribela, Mariana, Feliciana e Amina # a autora promove um diálogo entre diferentes culturas, gêneros, etnias e gerações, ao mesmo tempo em que estabelece um profícuo diálogo com o passado em sua invariante problematização concernente aos limites e cruzamentos entre o discurso ficcional e os discursos narrativos extraliterários que o cercam, sobretudo o histórico e o biográfico. In the whole of Brazilian writer Ana Miranda#s fictional narrative, the travel thematic # considered one of the most fertile themes of the western literature of all times # occupies a central space, and can even been seen as the most important structuring axis of Miranda#s works. The aim of the present thesis is to analyze the treatment given to the travel subject in the novels Desmundo, O retrato do rei, Dias & Dias and Amrik, emphasizing that, through the traveling narrators, Oribela, Mariana, Feliciana and Amina, the author promotes a connection between different cultures, genders, ethnics and generations, at the same time that establishes a profitable dialogue with the past in her invariant problematization concerning the limits and crossings between the fictional and the extra-literary narrative discourses that surrounds it, mainly the historical and the biographic ones
William F. Buckley, Jr.: Reflections on Current Contentions
No full textWilliam F. Buckley, Jr. (born Nov. 24, 1925, New York, N.Y., U.S.—died Feb. 27, 2008, Stamford, Conn.), versatile American editor, author, and conservative gadfly who became an important intellectual influence in conservative politics.
Buckley founded the conservative journal National Review in 1955, and as editor in chief he used the journal as a forum for conservative views and ideas. His column of political commentary, “On the Right,” was syndicated in 1962 and appeared regularly in more than 200 newspapers. From 1966 to 1999 Buckley served as host of Firing Line, a weekly television interview program dealing with politics and public affairs.
A contributor to many magazines, Buckley wrote a number of books, among them God and Man at Yale (1951), Up from Liberalism (1959), and Rumbles Left and Right (1963). He coauthored McCarthy and His Enemies (1954), and in the late 1970s he turned his hand to writing spy novels; among them were Saving the Queen (1976), Marco Polo, If You Can (1982), A Very Private Plot (1994), and the final entry in the series, Last Call for Blackford Oakes (2005)
Heat semigroup and Functions of Bounded Variation on Riemannian Manifolds
No full textLet M be a connected Riemannian manifold without boundary with Ricci curvature bounded from below and such that the volume of the geodesic balls of centre x and fixed radius r > 0 have a volume bounded away from 0 uniformly with respect to x, and let (T(t))(t >= 0) be the heat semigroup on M. We show that the total variation of the gradient of a function u is an element of L-1 (M) equals the limit of the L-1-norm of del T(t)u as t -> 0. In particular, this limit is finite if and only if u is a function of bounded variation
Recombination modulates how selection affects linked sites in Drosophila
No full textOne of the most influential observations in molecular evolution has been a strong association between regional recombination rate and amount of nucleotide polymorphism in those genomic regions, interpreted as evidence for ubiquitous natural selection. The alternative explanation, that recombination is mutagenic, has been rejected by the absence of a similar association between regional recombination rate and nucleotide divergence between species. However, many recent studies show that recombination rates are often very different even in closely related species, questioning whether an association between recombination rate and divergence between species has been tested satisfactorily. To circumvent this problem, we directly surveyed recombination across approximately 43% of the D. pseudoobscura physical genome in two separate recombination maps, and 31.3% of the D. miranda physical genome, and we identified both global and local differences in recombination rate between these two closely related species. Using only regions with conserved recombination rates between and within species and accounting for multiple covariates, our data support the conclusion that recombination is positively related to diversity because recombination modulates hitchhiking in the genome. Finally, our data show that diversity around nonsynonymous substitutions is recovered at closer distances in areas of higher recombination than in areas of lower recombination — empirically demonstrating that recombination rate can limit the size and severity of potential selective sweeps

No full textA memo sent to Mr. Neustadt from Colonel W. F. Magill, Jr. regarding travel during non-curfew hours. Proclamation No. 3 restricted what travel was permissible by German, Italian, and Japanese aliens in Military Area No. 1. The memo was posted by Karl R. Bendetsen, Assistant Chief of Staff, Civil Affairs Division, for the reference of all C. A. D. and Wartime Civil Control Administration staff.The War Relocation Authority (WRA), together with the Wartime Civil Control Administration (WCCA), the Civil Affairs Division (CAD) and the Office of the Commanding General (OFG) of the Western Defense Command (WDC) operated together to segregate and house some 110,000 men women and children from 1942 to 1945. The collection contains documents and photographs relating to the establishment and administrative workings of the (WDC), the (WRA) and the (WCCA) for the year 1942
