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
Upscaling of model results to field plot scale
No full textThe effects of acid soil conditions on mineral nutrition and growth of forest trees are discussed controversially. It is hypothesized that approaches are needed which determine the root nutrient uptake rates as affected by root-induced processes in the rhizosphere. A multi-ion rhizosphere model (MIM) has been developed which calculates the reactive dynamics of all major ions (H+, Al3+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, NO3−, SO42− and Cl−) in the rhizosphere of forest tree roots growing in acid soils. MIM calculates fine-scaled ion concentration gradients extending from the unrooted bulk soil (Bulk) to the root surface (RS) and the temporal dynamics of the average concentrations in rhizospheric sub-volumes termed as soil-root-interface (SRI), inner rhizosphere (Rh) and outer rhizosphere (oRh) of all ions (Mi) involved. SRI, Rh and oRh are defined as cylindrical soil volumes around the root which have distances to the root surface of 0.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 8–12 mm, respectively. The SRI-to-Bulk, Rh-to-Bulk and Rh-to-oRh ion concentration ratios (, , ) and the actual rates of root nutrient uptake () and H+ or OH− root excretion (EH/OH) are determined. The model is used in a Monte Carlo upscaling-procedure to calculate the - and EH/OH-rates of non-mycorrhizal long roots of spruce trees growing on a long-term monitoring plot in Solling, Germany. The objectives of this study are (i) to show the plot-specific heterogeneity of modeled - and -values of H+, base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+; Mb-cations), NO3− and SO42−, to present a comparison with rhizospheric measurement data and, to model the and EH/OH rates and (ii) to present the impact of major influencing processes. The -data comprise a range of about 0.5 up to 3.0 and more depending on the ion considered. In an equivalence-testing the modeled -ratios of Ca2+, SO42−, Fe3+ and Na+ agree with corresponding ratios () of measured concentrations in Rh and oRh if extreme -values are neglected. Means of modeled -rates are 0.27, 0.126, 0.09, 1.09 and 0.12 mmol m−2 d−1 for Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, NO3− and SO42−, respectively. The -rates are determined by root uptake capacities (), height of water fluxes, Mb concentrations in bulk and rhizosphere soil, amounts of desorbed exchangeable Mb cations and EH/OH-rates. In most calculations OH− root excretions (EOH) have been calculated. Low -rates have been calculated at low water fluxes and low bulk soil solution concentrations even at high -values and are associated with EOH-rates. Based on the -rates an assessment of the contribution of long roots on the total annual nutrient uptake of the spruce stand is given. It is concluded that the measured proceeding reduction of Mb-solution concentrations and the prospective NO3− saturation in the bulk soil of the spruce plot will lead to extreme low Mb/NO3 root uptake ratios

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
