Mas é limpinha: uma poética para Francisco Alvim
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014.Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar a escrita poética de Francisco Alvim a fim de entender a configuração de uma poesia que se faz a partir da fragilidade, precariedade e tenuidade apreendidas no modo de ver o mundo, as coisas do mundo, e da vida. Serão abordados como corpus os poemas publicados desde seu primeiro livro, Sol dos cegos, de 1968, até o mais recente, O metro nenhum, de 2011. O desenvolvimento da pesquisa está estruturado sobre os principais eixos poéticos da dicção de Alvim: as implicações do reconhecimento crítico de sua poesia; a relação com o presente; a apreensão das falas alheias; e a dissimulação dos sujeitos poéticos na poesia. O movimento em torno dessas questões levará à percepção, também, de um dizer poético que conjuga tempo e espaço e se manifesta por meio de procedimentos constitutivos notadamente deixados como cicatrizes modernas na linguagem poética. A consequência da operação poética realizada a partir de tais recursos será uma poesia permanentemente tensionada e suspensa. Desse modo, a poesia, pensada como um modo de ver ainda audaz e impositivo, nos termos de Jean-Luc Nancy e Michel Deguy, implicará astúcia, força e potência.Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to investigate the poetical writing of Francisco Alvim in order to understand the arrangement of a poetry composed by, as well as based on, the fragility, precariousness and tenuity apprehended in the way of seeing the world, the things of the world and of life. The corpus is formed by the poems published since Alvim s first book, Sol dos cegos (1968), until his last book, O metro nenhum (2011). The development of the research is structured on the main poetical issues of Alvim s poetry: the implication of the critical recognition regarding his poetry; the relation with the present; the apprehension of other people s talk; and the subjects dissimulation in the poetry. The movement around these questions allows to perceive a poetical diction that joins time and space, and that is expressed by means of constitutive procedures notedly left as modern scars in the poetical language. The consequence of the poetical operation based on such resources and techniques will be a poetry permanently tensed and suspended. Thus, the poetry, thought as a way of seeing still audacious and imposing, in the words of Jean-Luc Nancy and Michel Deguy, will imply astuteness, force and potency

Canal de Itajurú (22 ° 53 ’13.73”S; 42 °00’ 60 ”W), Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Etymology. “ spongiosa ” in Latin means “having the texture of the sponges”. It is referring to the mantle appearance due to the presence of the caryophyllidia which makes the specimen almost invisible on the sponge that it preys (Fig. 20 D). Diagnosis. Dorsal color whitish gray to white, with several rounded blotches darker than the rest of the mantle; eleven branchial leaves. Radula with inner surface of innermost lateral tooth smooth or with one or two denticles; only outermost tooth with small branches on its distal part. Large and amorphous accessory gland connecting to atrium. Description. External morphology (Figures 2 A–B; 19 G–H): body elongated, slightly tapered at posterior portion; up to 17.0 mm long alive, with 1.7 to 2.0 times greater length than width. Mantle densely covered by equidistant and cilindrical caryophyllidia (height: 221 µm to 277 µm); caryophyllidia lower in mantle edge and in center of mantle than those in sides of mantle, with 5–6 spicules that protrude around tubercle, which presents an oval apex ciliate. Rhinophoral and branchial sheaths prominent, covered by caryophyllidia. Rhinophores long with cylindrical apex, 10 to 14 diagonal perfoliations. Gill with eleven retractile, tripinnate branchial leaves, arranged to form a closed branchial circle around high anal cone. Foot narrower than mantle; anteriorly bilabiated and notched on upper “lip”; posteriorly, foot may project beyond mantle in a rounded tail. Oral tentacles conical and elongated. Color of living specimens ranging from whitish gray to white, with several rounded blotches on dorsum, darker than rest of mantle, of irregular sizes and arrangement; ventrally, translucent white; rhinophores and branchial leaves with same tone as mantle with white tips. Labial cuticle and radula (Figures 19 A–F): labial cuticle with yellow lateral plates with numerous elongated elements with rounded apex. Radula formula 17 x 14.0. 14 in specimen measuring 14.0 mm in length; lateral teeth hook-shaped; innermost lateral teeth smooth or with one or two denticles on inner surface of teeth; subsequent lateral teeth smooth, larger and more developed in center of rows; four marginal teeth elongated and thin, only outermost tooth presenting small branches on distal part. Reproductive system (Figure 20 A–C): hermaphrodite duct connected to convoluted ampulla. Postampullary gonoduct short, connecting to oviduct and prostate. Prostate granular, divided into two parts; a longer, less dense proximal part and a smaller, denser distal part. Deferent duct short and not convoluted, usually thicker than vagina, becoming a tubular ejaculatory portion near base of common atrium with vagina. Accessory gland large, with a not well defined shape, attached to atrium; at base of gonopore accessory gland always with a heart-shaped enlargement and after that two enlarged portions until entering into female gland; sexually immature specimens only having an heart-shape enlargement; accessory gland with slightly concave spine, about 480 µm in length. Vagina elongate and narrow opening in rounded bursa copulatrix. Bursa serially arranged, vaginal duct narrow and not convoluted and connecting to seminal receptacle; uterine duct short. Seminal receptacle slightly shorter than bursa copulatrix. Biology (Figure 20 E–F): Egg mass white as a spiral ribbon with 11.0 mm diameter (deposited by a specimen 16.0 mm long), with crenulated border; ribbon with two whorls in counterclockwise direction with numerous rows of many tiny eggs. Remarks. Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. fits perfectly in the genus Jorunna, presenting all the diagnostic features of the genus (Camacho-García & Gosliner, 2008), including the dorsum covered by elongated caryophyllidia (Figs. 19 G–H); a prostate with two portions (Fig. 20 A); a copulatory spine (Fig. 20 C); the presence of an accessory gland (Figs. 20 A–B); and a labial cuticle that can be smooth or armed with jaw elements (Fig. 19 A). Jorunna includes 18 valid species, among which Jorunna spazzola, Jorunna ghanensis Edmunds, 2011 and Jorunna glandulosa Edmunds, 2011 are the species known from the South Atlantic to date. Jorunna glandulosa differs from Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. in terms of coloration: its mantle is creamy yellow with brown marking and pale brownish spots and the gill is orange with brown spots, whereas the mantle of Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. is whitish gray to white, with several rounded blotches on the dorsum that are darker than the rest of the mantle, and the gill is the same tone as the mantle, with white tips. Although Jorunna glandulosa (39 × 46.0.46) (up to 7mm in length) is smaller in length than Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. (17 x 14.0.14) (up to 17mm in length), its radula is longer and broader. In Jorunna glandulosa, the teeth are smooth and hook shaped, whereas Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. presents innermost lateral teeth that are smooth or display one or two denticles on the inner surface, and the outermost tooth presents small branches on the distal portion. Jorunna ghanensis differs from Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. in the color of its mantle, which is yellow-brown with scattered small brown or red-brown spots, suffused with minute white dots, with three or four larger dark brown spots on each side between the rhinophores and gills. Whereas Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. are whitish gray to white, with several rounded blotches on the dorsum, darker than the rest of the mantle; All of the teeth in Jorunna ghanensis are hamate and lack denticles, in contrast to Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. that has the innermost lateral teeth smooth or with one or two denticles on the inner surface of the teeth and the outermost tooth presents small branches on their distal part. Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. differs from J. spazzola by whitish coloration (Figs. 2 A–B), although the patterns of blotches are very similar in the two species. In relation to the relative body lengths, Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. (13.0 mm to 17.0 mm) is longer than Jorunna spazzola (3.0 mm to 9.0 mm). In Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. the marginal teeth are elongated and filiform and only the outermost tooth presents small branches on its distal part (Figs. 19 E–F), whereas in J. spazzola all marginal teeth are elongated, thin and branched, and have two or four finger-like projections on their distal part (Figs. 17 E–F). These differences cannot be interpreted as an ontogenetic variation, because J. spazzola, the smaller species, has branched marginal teeth, whereas Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov., the bigger species, has only one, slightly branched marginal tooth (the outermost one). In the reproductive system, the main differences are the ampulla shape, the accessory gland, and the shape and size of the spine of the accessory gland: in Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. the ampulla is elongated and convoluted, the accessory gland is large and has a distal enlarged portion shaped like a heart, and more proximal two enlarged portions until entering into the female gland; the spine is slightly concave, measuring approximately 480 µm in length (Fig. 20 C). In J. spazzola, the ampulla is rounded and not convoluted, the accessory gland is long and thin, and the spine is straight at the base and curved at the distal portion, and measures approximately 165 µm in length (Fig. 18 B). Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. is similar, in terms of its whitish coloration, to Jorunna tomentosa (Cuvier, 1804), from France, and Jorunna alisonae Ev. Marcus, 1976 a, from Hawaii. Jorunna tomentosa is distinguished by the presence of tiny dark spots on the dorsum, and all of its marginal teeth are smooth, whereas in Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. the dorsum has rounded blotches (Fig. 2 A) and the outermost tooth has small branches on its distal part (Figs. 19 E–F). Jorunna alisonae lacks denticles on the innermost lateral teeth, and has smooth marginal teeth and deformed jaw elements, whereas in Jorunna spongiosa sp. nov. the jaw elements are elongated and rounded in their distal region (Fig. 19 A).Published as part of Alvim, Juliana & Pimenta, Alexandre Dias, 2013, Taxonomic review of the family Discodorididae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) from Brazil, with descriptions of two new species, pp. 152-198 in Zootaxa 3745 (2) on pages 182-185, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3745.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/24869

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
TESTEMUNHOS POÉTICOS: ARQUIVOS DE UMA HISTÓRIA DE MINAS GERAIS EM CHICO ALVIM - POETIC TESTIMONIALS: ARCHIVE OF A MINAS GERAIS’ HISTORY BY CHICO ALVIM
No full textResumo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma análise depoemas do escritor mineiro Chico Alvim (2004), tendo em vista sua inserçãoe seu descentramento entre os poetas mineiros cultores da mineiridade. AMitologia da Mineiridade (ARRUDA, 1990), construída principalmente porensaístas e cronistas estrangeiros, é ratificada por diversos poetas brasileiros,entre os quais figura Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Entretanto, temos emChico Alvim um poeta que demonstra não só certos elementos presentes noimaginário da “mineiridade”, mas também poemas em que o mineiro“cordato”, “justo” e “honrado” (ROSA, 1967) dá lugar a um mineirointransigente, impiedoso e criador de suas próprias leis. Os textos de OCorpo Fora, elencado por nós como corpus de nossa pesquisa, compõem ummosaico em que é possível entrever o ambiente prosaico e provinciano dasMinas Gerais, a partir de uma espécie de coleção de “extratos de fala”(CAMENITZKI, 2005). Tal procedimento – a composição poética por meiode testemunhos de diversas vozes – é, de certa forma, uma proposta decomposição de um arquivo de testemunhos (RICOEUR, 2008). Buscamosdemonstrar como a poesia de Chico Alvim, desvinculando-se parcialmenteda mitologia e do imaginário erigidos sobre a mineiridade, cria uma novahistória de relações entre os homens do campo das Minas Gerais.Palavras-chave: Mitologia. Mineiridade. Imaginário. Poesia. O Corpo Fora.Chico Alvim.Abstract: The present work aims at conducting an analysis on some poemsby the poet Chico Alvim (2004) from Minas Gerais, in view of his inclusionor not among the poets which carved the myth of “mineiridade”. TheMythology of ‘Mineridade’ (ARRUDA, 1990), built mainly by foreignwriters and essayists, is ratified by several Brazilian poets, including CarlosDrummond de Andrade. However, in Chico Alvim’s poetry, therea are notonly some elements present in the imagery of the typical “mineiro”, but alsopoems in which the image of the “fair”, “honored” and “kind” “mineiro”(ROSA, 1967) leads to people uncompromising, ruthless and creators of hislaws themselves. The texts present in “O Corpo Fora”, selected as the corpusfor our research, build a mosaic in which we can glimpse the prosaic andprovincial environment of Minas Gerais, from a sort of collection of“extracts of speech” (CAMENITZKI, 2005). This procedure – the poeticcomposition by means of statements from various voices – is somehow aproposal for a composition of an archive of testimonials (RICOEUR, 2008).We intend to demonstrate how the poetry by Chico Alvim, unbinding partlyfrom the imagery of the mineiro, creates a new history of the relationshipamong men in the countryside of Minas.Keywords: Mythology.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
