Alan Moore Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel
No full textEclectic British author Alan Moore (b. 1953) is one of the most acclaimed and controversial comics writers to emerge since the late 1970s. He has produced a large number of well-regarded comic books and graphic novels while also making occasional forays into music, poetry, performance, and prose. In Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel , Annalisa Di Liddo argues that Moore employs the comics form to dissect the literary canon, the tradition of comics, contemporary society, and our understanding of history. The book considers Moore's narrative strategies and pinpoints the main thematic threads in his works: the subversion of genre and pulp fiction, the interrogation of superhero tropes, the manipulation of space and time, the uses of magic and mythology, the instability of gender and ethnic identity, and the accumulation of imagery to create satire that comments on politics and art history. Examining Moore's use of comics to scrutinize contemporary culture, Di Liddo analyzes his best-known works-- Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell, Promethea , and Lost Girls . The study also highlights Moore?s lesser-known output, such as Halo Jones, Skizz , and Big Numbers , and his prose novel Voice of the Fire. Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel reveals Moore to be one of the most significant and distinctly postmodern comics creators of the last quarter-century.Intro -- Contents -- Preface and Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- CHAPTER 1.

Fast methods for training Gaussian processes
No full textThis submission includes a simplified version of some code we have been developing for fast training of Gaussian processes. We also include a sample data set, which is NOAA tidal data from Woods Hole in the US, downloaded from http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/ .
The code and data included here were used to produce the numerical results in the following paper:

O paradoxo de Moore e a declaração: consequências do choque de acessos de primeira e terceira pessoas
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-graduação em FilosofiaNeste trabalho, defendemos uma proposta de solução alternativa ao Paradoxo de Moore (PM). Para isso, no primeiro capítulo, após apresentarmos o PM em sua caracterização mais geral, estabelecemos um conjunto de condições que julgamos necessário para uma análise do problema. Com essas condições, pretendemos analisar diferentes soluções encontradas na literatura sobre o problema, criticando-as. No segundo capítulo, procuramos rejeitar aquelas que denominamos 'soluções assercionistas' ao PM, mostrando que discutir o problema em cenários que recorrem a teorias de atos de fala é improdutivo. No terceiro capítulo, a crítica recai sobre soluções que identificamos como 'mentalistas'; procuramos identificar que não são soluções produtivas ao PM, principalmente por necessitarem defender princípios doxásticos e epistêmicos demasiado 'fortes' em suas tentativas de garantir a racionalidade epistêmica. No quarto capítulo, mudamos a rota de investigação. Nossa crítica recai sobre um tipo de solução witgensteiniana ao PM, cuja característica geral é identificar as sentenças Moore-paradoxais como 'contradições disfarçadas'. Procuramos apontar uma lacuna presente neste tipo de análise, o que torna as referidas soluções vulneráveis à crítica. No quinto e último capítulo, defendemos uma proposta de solução a partir de R. Moran, para quem, ao reler certas passagens das Investigações Filosóficas de Wittgenstein, as sentenças Moore-paradoxais revelam um choque de acessos de primeira e terceira pessoas. Defendemos que esse choque de perspectivas faz com que as pessoas, em estado akrático (akrasia epistêmica) comprometam as suas participações racionais em determinados jogos de linguagem. Por fim, com essa leitura em vista, procuramos responder as condições de análise que propusemos no início do trabalho
Aluminium carboxylates in aqueous solutions .4. Crystal structure and solution-state study of K[Al(mal)2(H2O)2]·2H2O (H2mal = malonic acid)
No full textThe new complex K[Al(mal)(2)(H2O)(2)] . 2H(2)O [H(2)mal = CH2(CO2H)(2)] has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. An investigation of metal speciation in aqueous solution (analytical concentration around 50 mmol dm(-3)) by using Al-27, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopies revealed that, in solutions at physiological pH (7.5), the bis(malonate) complex evolves to the tris(malonate), [Al(mal)(3)](3-), without precipitation of aluminium hydroxide
The composition of the electrode deposit in the Moore lamp
No full textCitation: Haslam, T. P. The composition of the electrode deposit in the Moore lamp. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1908.Introduction: The Moore lamp consists essentially of a piece of glass tubing one and three-fourths inch in diameter and four or more feet in length, into both ends of which are sealed carbon electrodes. The tube contains a gas under a pressure of about .1 mm of mercury

Even if the author has not mentioned the collector and the herbarium of deposit, this information can be obtained in this same publication. Moore (1911: 15) mentions that the collections belong to C.F.M. Swynnerton and that the types are deposited in BM. Moore (1911) mentioned the number of the collector, and the herbarium of deposit for the type material (BM herbarium), however, because there are two sheets in BM. We therefore designate the specimen in Herb.

Understanding and responding to interpersonal workplace situations. Assessing emotional competence, its relationship to traits and well-being, and its training.
No full textThe study tested an emotional-intelligence (EI) ability-measure of Contextualized Emotion Understanding and Responding (CEUR), its association with personal variables, and whether CEUR can be enhanced by instruction. Within a pre-post experimental-design, participants (N = 481, 19% men) were randomly assigned to the experimental or the control group. Participants filled out several trait and well-being scales (e.g., job involvement, loneliness), and rated the adequacy of behavioral responses to CEUR scenarios. The results showed a three-factor stable structure for CEUR. At pre-test, all participants endorsed Empathic-Constructive responding (EC, women especially) more than Dismissing-Ironical options (DI) or Passive ones (PA, men especially). Similar trends characterized post-test ratings. EC was negatively associated with DI and PA. At post-test, experimental participants increased EC orientation and decreased DI and PA with respect to pre-test, whereas control participants did not change or even increased less-intelligent responding. CEUR dimensions were significantly associated with well-being (especially loneliness, negative affect, health) and with job satisfaction. The study confirmed the hypotheses that CEUR is associated with both traits and well-being, and that these EI skills can be trained
Divisibility conditions in almost Moore digraphs with selfrepeats
No full textMoore digraph is a digraph with maximum out-degree d, diameter k and order Md, k = 1 + d + ... + dk. Moore digraphs exist only in trivial cases if d = 1 (i.e., directed cycle Ck) or k = 1 (i.e., complete symmetric digraph). Almost Moore digraphs are digraphs of order one less than Moore bound. We shall present new properties of almost Moore digraphs with selfrepeats from which we prove nonexistence of almost Moore digraphs for some k and d. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.C
