    High Rise, Free Fall: Translating Class, Race, and Tragedy in Frances de Pontes Peebles&rsquo;s Fiction. Introduction by Sarah Lucena<em>Queda Livre</em> by Frances de Pontes Peebles, translation into Portuguese by Sarah Lucena

    No full text
      Abstract: The short story “High Rise” was published in 2021 by Brazilian-American author Frances de Pontes Peebles. The story reflects the socio-political tensions surrounding the death of a five-year-old boy who fell from the ninth floor of a luxurious high-rise in Recife, Brazil, during the Covid-19 pandemic. It explores how neglect and violence shape the lives of Brazil’s marginalized groups, highlighting the ways social hierarchies are maintained even amid global crises like the pandemic. The translation into Portuguese is introduced by a discussion of the story within Brazil’s social, historical, and political framework. It also examines the challenges and nuances of translating such a culturally specific narrative for a Brazilian readership. Keywords: Northeastern Brazil, Covid-19 Literature, Black Lives Matter, Literary Translation, Brazilian Contemporary Literature, Recife, Frances de Pontes Peebles. Resumo: O conto “High Rise” foi publicado em 2021 pela autora brasileiro-americana Frances de Pontes Peebles. A narrativa reflete as tensões sociopolíticas que vêm à tona quando um menino de cinco anos cai do nono andar de um edifício de alto padrão no Recife durante a pandemia de Covid-19. O texto explora como a negligência e a violência determinam a vida de grupos marginalizados no Brasil, evidenciando também como as hierarquias sociais são mantidas mesmo durante uma crise global como a pandemia. A tradução para o português é precedida por uma discussão sobre o texto e o entorno social, histórico e político do Brasil e examina decisões e desafios de traduzir uma narrativa localizada no Nordeste para o público brasileiro.

    James Peebles Was Awarded the Nobel Prize 2019 for His Lifelong Contribution to Cosmology

    summary:Královská švédská akademie věd udělila Nobelovu cenu za fyziku roku 2019 třem vědcům, kteří významně přispěli ke studiu vesmíru. Polovinu ceny získal jeden z předních žijících kosmologů James Peebles. Od počátku 60. let systematicky a důkladně studuje fyzikální procesy odehrávající se v raném vesmíru i během jeho následné evoluce. Zásadně tím ovlivnil moderní kosmologii, z níž se nyní stala ucelená a věrohodná vědní disciplína opírající se o logický systém teoretických modelů podporovaný velmi přesnými pozorováními. Peebles je odborníkem především na primordiální vznik prvků, reliktní mikrovlnné záření a formování galaktických struktur. Jeho vědecké práce, knihy a učebnice inspirovaly bezpočet kolegů i studentů

    Influence of halogen variation on structure and interactions in vinyl halide (H2C=CHX)…CO2 (X = F, Cl, Br) complexes

    No full text
    Chirped-pulse and resonant cavity Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy have been used to investigate dimers of CO2_2 with vinyl fluoride (VF), vinyl chloride (VCl) and vinyl bromide (VBr). For all three complexes, CO2_2 is aligned adjacent to the X--C--H end (X = F, Cl, Br) of the ethylene subunit, with C--X\cdotsC and C--H\cdotsO contacts. For VF\cdotsCO2_2, a second isomer is also observed, with CO2_2 roughly parallel to the H--C=C--F side of VFhowever, there is no spectroscopic indication that similar structures are present for VCl\cdotsCO2_2 or VBr\cdotsCO2_2. For vinyl fluoride\cdotsCO2_2, a full structural analysis has previously been published,\footnote {C. L. Christenholz, R. E. Dorris, R. A. Peebles, S. A. Peebles, {\it J. Phys. Chem. A}, {\bf 118}, (2014), 8765-8772.} while for the Cl- and Br-containing species, insufficient data are presently available for complete structure determinations. However, structural information from ab initio calculations, 35^{35}Cl/37^{37}Cl and 79^{79}Br/81^{81}Br isotopic substitution, and analysis of chlorine and bromine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants will be presented. In addition, for this series of dimers containing C--H\cdotsO contacts, further insight into the nature of the weak interactions may be obtained from Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and other {\it ab initio} analyses that are presently in progress.Made available in DSpace on 2017-01-26T21:39:41Z (GMT).

    Soneira-Peebles Model

    No full text
    The Soneira-Peebles model (Soneira & Peebles 1978) is applied to study the clustering distribution. Started from level L = 0, eta is the number of points within each circle at each level, the radius at each level is R / lambda ^ L and total points are eta ^ L. The fractal dimension D = log(eta)/log(lambda). The corresponding slope in 2D two-point correlation function is D – 2. R. M. Soneira and P. J. E.
