The Ave Valley, northern Portugal: an archaeological survey of Iron Age and Roman settlement
No full textThe article presents the results of the HRB-funded survey of a sample of the Ave valley undertaken between 1994 and 1998. Introductory sections describe the geographical background and summarise the approaches followed. The field-walking results are then presented with especial emphasis on the ceramics. The field-walking evidence is used to identify a series of newly discovered sites which are assessed. The results of geophysical surveys of several of these sites are also presented. Information about the settlement patterns is presented based on a GIS analysis of both previously known sites and the results of the field-walking. Patterns in the changing distribution of settlement are discussed in relation to local social dynamics and the Roman annexation and exploitation of the region.The article is supported by databases which present the results of the field-walking and ceramic analyses.The article is jointly authored by: Martin Millett, Francisco Queiroga (Universidade Fernando Pessao, Porto), Kris Strutt, Jeremy Taylor and Steven Willis. The nature of a field-walking survey which produces a sequence of related databases (for field and finds) attached to a sequence of maps is particularly appropriate for electronic publication. Attempting such a publication in electronic form seems a worthwhile project in itself aside from the importance of the results
Índice de calor e desconforto térmico humano nas condições de ambiente natural em Patos, PB, Brasil
No full textMonografiaThe urban climate in the same way that the interior of the constructions, exercises influence in
the man's thermal comfort. In open spaces, the human comfort can be affected by several parameters, among them the climatic ones, the human activities and many studies of thermal comfort are accomplished in internal atmospheres, mainly elaborated by architects, the criteria and the approach used to evaluate the comfort conditions in external atmospheres cannot be the same ones that in internal conditions. The present work had as objective analyzes the Indexes of Heat and Thermal Discomfort, located in the Patos-PB. For the present work, monthly data were analyzed among the years of 2008 and 2018. they were used the software R, with that, we conclude that, the hottest years were 2012 and 2013 with averages of around 35,3 °C, the year with more suave temperature was in 2011 with temperature of 33,77 °C. The average of relative humidity more discharge was in 2009 with percentile of 68,67% and lower average in 2015 and 2017 with 54,23%. The presents data were necessary to make the calculations of the indexes (IDT and IC), such indexes moderate levels of classifications and in agreement with the analyses IDT had maxim and larger lows than 26,5 °C, consisting like this, classification as uncomfortable. Regarding IC he/she had averages between 54,3 °C and 48,23 °C, ending that for levels above 54 °C, it is classified with the level of end danger, taking risk of Cerebral Vascular Accident imminent, and among 41-54 °C it is considered in danger with risks of cramps and heatstroke.O clima urbano da mesma forma que o interior das edificações, exerce influência no conforto térmico do homem. Em espaços abertos, o conforto humano pode ser afetado por diversos parâmetros, entre eles os climáticos, as atividades humanas e muitos estudos de conforto térmico são realizados em ambientes internos, principalmente elaborados por arquitetos, os critérios e a abordagem utilizada para avaliar as condições de conforto em ambientes externos não podem ser as mesmas
que em condições internas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os Índices de Calor e Desconforto Térmico, localizado na cidade de Patos-PB. Para o presente trabalho, foram analisados dados mensais entre os anos de 2008 e 2018. Foram usados o software R, com isso, concluirmos que, os anos mais quentes foram 2012 e 2013 com médias de em torno de 35,3 °C, o ano com temperatura mais amena foi em 2011 com temperatura de 33,77 °C. A média de umidade relativa mais
alta foi em 2009 com percentual de 68,67% e média mais baixa em 2015 e 2017 com 54,23%. Os presentes dados foram necessários para efetuar os cálculos dos índices (IDT e IC), tais índices reportam níveis de classificações e de acordo com as análises o IDT teve máxima e mínimas maiores que 26,5 °C, constando assim, classificação como desconfortável. Com relação ao IC teve médias entre 54,3 °C e 48,23 °C, concluindo que para níveis acima de 54 °C, é classificado com o nível de
extremo perigo, correndo risco de Acidente Vascular Cerebral iminente, e entre 41- 54 °C é considerado em perigo com riscos de câimbras e insolação.Trabalho não financiado por agência de fomento, ou autofinanciad
The use of low-dose metronomic chemotherapy in dogs-insight into a modern cancer field
No full textThe era of chemotherapy, which started in the middle of the last century, has been ruled by the routine use of dose-intense protocols, based on the "maximum-tolerated dose" concept. By promoting a balance between patient's quality of life and the goal of rapidly killing as many tumour cells as possible, these protocols still play a prominent role in veterinary oncology. However, with the opening of a new millennium, metronomic chemotherapy (MC) started to be considered a possible alternative to traditional dose-intense chemotherapy. Characterized by a long-term daily administration of lower doses of cytotoxic drugs, this new modality stands out for its unique combination of effects, namely on neovascularization, immune response and tumour dormancy. This article reviews the rationale for treatment with MC, its mechanism of action and the main studies conducted in veterinary medicine, and discusses the key challenges yet to be solved
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

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
