Entrevista com Carlos Reis: de realismo e distopias
No full textCarlos Reis is a Full Professor at the University of Coimbra, owner of an “overwhelming” curriculum and, although he was noted as one of the great specialists in the work of Eça de Queirós, he was also the author of one of the reference studies on Portuguese neorealism - O discurso ideológico do Neo-Realismo português, from 1983 - which still serves as the basis for all research that has as its object of analysis the literature produced by a generation of authors who had in common “the cause of commitment and a new humanism” .Carlos Reis é Professor Catedrático da Universidade de Coimbra, dono de um curriculum “avassalador” e, embora se tenha notabilizado como um dos grandes especialistas na obra de Eça de Queirós, também foi autor de um dos estudos de referência sobre o neorrealismo português – O discurso ideológico do Neo-Realismo português, de 1983 – que ainda hoje serve de base para toda a pesquisa que tenha como objeto de análise a literatura produzida por uma geração de autores que tinham em comum “a causa do compromisso e de um novo humanismo”
REIS: Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatie-Systeem ter ondersteuning van de gemeentelijke energieplanning
No full textIn de scriptie wordt een deel van het onderzoek naar een Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatiesysteem (REIS) ter ondersteuning van de gemeentelijke energieplanning beschreven. Het betreft met name de informatie-, presentatie- en gegevensanalyse. Het REIS is reeds sinds 1983 onderwerp van onderzoek binnen de Stichting Studiecentrum voor Vastgoedinformatie (SSVI), doch dit onderzoek concentreert zich meer op een methodiek ten behoeve van de gemeentelijke energieplanning en de toepasbaarheid van het REIS binnen deze methodiek. In het afstudeeronderzoek staat het REIS zelf centraal, en er worden aspecten bij het onderzoek betrokken die in het SSVI-onderzoek niet aan de orde komen. Dit om de voorwaarden en uitgangspunten die ten behoeve van het REIS worden gedefinieerd een theoretische onderbouwing te geven. De theorie die bij het onderzoek wordt betrokken heeft zowel betrekking op de informatica, de informatievoorziening als de vastgoed. Deze vakgebieden komen in feite samen binnen de theorie met betrekking tot de vastgoedinformatiesystemen, een onderdeel van de geodesie. Het REIS dient gegevens te verstrekken op basis van energiekenmerken van vastgoedobjekten (geografische eenheden), hetgeen verklaart waarom het REIS onderwerp van studie is binnen de afdeling Geodesie. Het eerste deel (A) van het onderzoek betreft de energieproblematiek als zodanig en het tweede deel (B) het Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatiesysteem.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Morphological Evolution In The Mandible Of Spiny Rats, Genus Trinomys (rodentia: Echimyidae)
No full textThe development and evolution of the rodent mandible have been studied in depth in recent years. The mandible is a complex structure because it consists of six morphogenetic components formed by different condensations of mesenchymal cells. Using recent techniques for the geometric analysis of shape, we have combined developmental information with a powerful quantification of shape variation and an independent estimate of phylogeny (molecular data) to assess the evolutionary patterns of shape change in mandibles of the rodent genus Trinomys. In general, the major trends in shape variation did not agree with the expected phylogenetic pattern. However, for small-scale morphological differences, one species (T. yonenagae) was responsible for the lack of association between morphology and molecular divergence. This species is genetically similar to but morphologically different from other Trinomys. The coronoid process was considered to be the most conservative morphogenetic component in the mandible. © 2005 Blackwell Verlag.434332338Atchley, W.R., Genetic and developmental aspects of variability in the mammalian mandible (1993) The Vertebrate Skull, pp. 207-247. , Hanken, J.Hall, B.

A New Species Of Brachycephalus From The Atlantic Rain Forest In São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil (amphibia: Anura: Brachycephalidae)
No full textWe describe a new toadlet species of the genus Brachycephalus from the Atlantic rain forest in the State of São Paulo, in southeastern Brazil. Specimens were collected from the leaf litter at approximately 750 m above sea level. The new species differs from its congers by the following combination of characteristics: SVL in adult males 11.3-12.1 mm and SVL in adult females 13.4-14.2 mm, skin on head and dorsum with co-ossification, general color in life orange with dorsal greenish irregular markings covered with small dark spots and dots, skull hyperossified, spinal processes of sacral and pre-sacral vertebrae hyperossified, and hyperossification of the distal end of the process of the fourth vertebra. The new species shares with most other Brachycephalus species remarkable traits, such as miniaturization and hyperossification of the skeleton. The new species probably occurs in isolation in highlands of the Atlantic Forest. © 2010 by the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.3410420Alves, A.C.R., Ribeiro, L.F., Haddad, C.F.B., Reis, S.F., Two new species of Brachycephalus (Anura: Brachycephalidae) from the Atlantic forest in Paraná state, southern Brazil (2006) Herpetologica, 62, pp. 221-233Alves, A.C.R., Sawaya, R., Reis, S.F., Haddad, C.B.F., A new species of Brachycephalus (Anura: Brachycephalidae) from the Atlantic rain forest in São Paulo state, southeastern Brazil (2009) Journal of Herpetology, 43, pp. 212-219Bookstein, F.L., (1991) Morphometric Tools for Landmark Data, , Cambridge University Press, New YorkBookstein, F.L., Biometrics, biomathematics and the morphometric synthesis (1996) Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 58, pp. 313-365Catros, S., Pothuaud, L., Dard, M., Fricain, J.C., Collagen fibrils of human acellular extrinsic fiber cementum (2008) Journal of Periodontology, 79, pp. 1095-1100Clemente-Carvalho, R.B.G., Antoniazzi, M., Jared, C., Haddad, C.F.B., Alves, A.C.R., Rocha, H.S., Pereira, G.R., Reis, S.F., Hyperossification in miniaturized toadlets of the genus Brachycephalus (Amphibia: Anura: Brachycephalidae): Microscopic structure and macroscopic patterns of variation (2009) Journal of Morphology, 270, pp. 1285-1295Clemente-Carvalho, R.B.G., Monteiro, L.R., Bonato, V., Rocha, H.S., Pereira, G.R., Oliveira, D.F., Lopes, R.T., Reis, S.F., Geographic variation in cranial shape in the pumpkin toadlet (Brachycephalus ephippium): A geometric analysis (2008) Journal of Herpetology, 42, pp. 176-185Fabrezi, M., Morphological evolution of Ceratophryinae (Anura, Neobatrachia) (2006) Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 44, pp. 153-166Frost, D.R., (2007) Amphibian Speciesofthe World: An Online Reference, , http://research.amnh.org/herpetology/amphibia/index.html, Version 3.0 22 August 2004, Electronic Database available at, American Museum of Natural History, New YorkGiaretta, A.A., (1999) Diversidade e Densidade de Anuros de Serapilheira Num Gradiente Altitudinal na Mata Atlântica Costeira, , Unpubl.

Charles Reis Felix’s 1934
No full textAbstract. Reis Felix claims he has no imagination in order to justify the closeness between his fiction and his experienced life. When editing the Portuguese translation of his short novel, Da Gama, Cary Grant, and the Election of 1934, it became clear to me that Reis Felix is being endearingly but also unnecessarily modest. For two main reasons: 1) all fiction is autobiographical; 2) by giving form to his memory, Reis Felix accomplished a magnificent work of imagination. Mainly, where was he—the alter ego of the author—in the climatic cinema scene where a young woman faces the hardship of love whilst watching an (as far as I could verify, I’m still searching) inexistent Cary Grant movie
The Amazon of Arthur Reis
No full textIn the 1960s, it was launched the book A Amazônia e a cobiça internacional, authored by amazon Arthur César Ferreira Reis. In this book, the author denounced the imminent loss of the Amazon, which was under threat of being taken by foreign nations. This speech, that arrogated for itself the authority of the history with views to settle "in true" and, therefore, to have the necessary credibility, insofar as it was under serious denunciation, required a decision by the State, which, according to the author, should colonize / civilize / develop the Amazon in order to prevent its loss to other nations aware of the economic potential represented by the region. Arthur Reis' historiographic work, which deals predominantly with Amazonian issues, culminating in his political discourse of international greed, has earned him a captive place in national public life. Therefore, understanding the paths of this discourse and its links with the political context in which it was forged is the objective of this thesis, which, besides analyzing the political uses of the past that underpinned the historical representation of Arthur Reis, also proposed to investigate the representations built about the author in the Jornal do Comércio do Amazonas and in a set of printed newspapers from the country, predominantly from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.Tese (Doutorado)Na década de 1960, foi lançado o livro A Amazônia e a cobiça internacional, de autoria do amazonense Arthur Cezar Ferreira Reis. Neste, o autor denunciava a iminente perda da Amazônia, que estaria sob a ameaça de ser tomada por nações estrangeiras. Esse discurso, que arrogava para si a autoridade da história com vistas a se assentar “no verdadeiro” e, portanto, a se revestir da credibilidade necessária, na medida em que se fazia sob uma grave denúncia, exigia uma tomada de decisão por parte do Estado, que, segundo o autor, deveria colonizar/civilizar/desenvolver a Amazônia a fim de evitar a ação estrangeira na região. A obra historiográfica de Arthur Reis, que versa predominantemente sobre questões amazônicas, culminando com seu discurso político da cobiça internacional, rendeu-lhe um lugar cativo na vida pública nacional. Portanto, compreender os caminhos desse discurso e suas vinculações com o contexto político no qual foi forjado é o objetivo desta tese, que além de analisar os usos políticos do passado que deram base à representação histórica de Arthur Reis, propôs-se ainda a investigar as representações construídas acerca do autor no Jornal do Comércio do Amazonas e num conjunto de jornais impressos do país, predominantemente do Rio de Janeiro
