John Dos Passos papers
No full textJohn Dos Passos (1896-1970) was one of the major novelists of the post-World War I Lost Generation that included authors and artists such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and Sherwood Anderson. After graduating from Harvard University in 1916, he volunteered to be an ambulance driver in World War I. His experiences there led to the bitter antiwar novel Three Soldiers (1921). In the postwar years he also produced his trilogy U. S. A., which consists of The 42nd Parallel (1930); 1919 (1932); and The Big Money (1936). Dos Passos worked as a newspaper correspondent during World War II and continued to write novels after the war. He published forty-two novels, as well as poems, essays, and plays. He was also a student of art and created and exhibited more than 400 pieces of art. The Dos Passos papers include manuscripts and notes relating to his translation of Panama; or, The Adventures of My Seven Uncles (1931), his play Fortune Heights (1934), and his novel Manhattan Transfer (1925), as well as correspondence and manuscripts related to his work in the theater

Seasonal variation in female mate choice and operational sex ratio in wild populations of an annual fish, Austrolebias reicherti
No full textThe intensity of mating competition and the potential benefits for female of mating with certain males can be influenced by several extrinsic factors, such that behavioral decisions can be highly context-dependent. Short-lived species with a single reproductive season are a unique model to study context-sensitive mating decisions. Through exhaustive sampling in the field and simultaneous choice tests in the laboratory, we evaluated operational sex ratio (OSR) and female mate choice at the beginning and end of the reproductive season in the annual killifish Austrolebias reicherti. We found seasonal change in both OSR and female mate choice. At the start of the reproductive season the OSR did not deviate from parity, and females preferred larger males. Later in the reproductive season, while the proportion of males in the ponds decreased, females became unselective with respect to male size. The particular biological cycle of annual killifish, where both life expectancy and mating opportunities decline sharply over a short timescale, could account for the seasonal change in female choice. Reduction in choosiness could arise from diminished reproductive prospects due to a decline in male availability. Moreover, as the end of the season approaches, any benefits of choosiness are presumably reduced: a female's fitness will be higher if she mates with any male than if she forgoes reproduction and dies. Future work will disentangle the mechanisms underlying seasonal changes in mating preferences, notably direct responses to demographic factors, environmental cues, or intrinsic changes during development. © 2014 Passos et al

Efeito da adubação nitrogenada na incidência do pulgão Cerosipha forbesi (Weed, 1889) em morangueiro Fragaria vesca L.
No full textCom o objetivo de examinar o efeito da adubação nitrogenada na incidência do pulgao Cerosipha forbesi, foi instalado em maio de 1991, no campo experimental da EMBRAPA - CNPDA, em Jaguariúna,SP, um experimento em blocos causalizados com 4 repetições e 3 tratamentos, sendo T1, testemunha com 0 grama de sulfato de amônia por parcela; T2 com aplicação de 200 gramas de sulfato de amônia por parcela e T3 com 2000 gramas de sulfato de amônia por parcela. Cada parcela constou 4 fileiras com 10 plantas cada, sendo a parcela útil as duas fileiras centrais menos as plantas das extremidades. A avaliação foi feita em dezembro de 1991, tomando-se ao acaso 5 plantas da parcela útil, nas quais foram constados os pulgões encontrados. Os dados originais receberam transformação de arco-seno raiz quadrada de y. A maior incidência de pulgões foi verificada no tratamento testemunha - (7,712), seguido de tratamento T3 (4,249) e T2 (2,607). Não Houve diferença significativa pelo teste de Ducan ao nivel de 5% entre os tratamentos T1 e t2. Nesse experimento nao se verificou aumento da incidência do pulgão com o aumento da dose de nitrigenio
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
