No full textThe Deep Western Boundary Current at Cape Farewell: results from a moored current meter array
No full textAn analysis ismade of data from 30 Aanderaa recording currentmeters (RCMs) set on ninemoorings locatedeast of Cape Farewell, the southern tip of Greenland. The purpose of the measurements was to allow for theestimation of transport in the deep western boundary current (DWBC) below a depth of about 1500 m. Therecords commenced in September 2005 and lasted from9.5 to 11.5months.After calibration of the rawdata, 12-haverages of temperature and current were derived and the latter employed to estimate the flow across and alongthe array direction. The 9.5-month average transport of water colder than 38Cwas found to be 7.8 Sv (1 Sv[13106 m3 s21) with a standard error of 0.8 Sv. For water denser than su527.85 kg m23, the transport is calculatedas 4.5 Sv. Whether either of these values is significantly different fromcomparablemeasurementsmade 500 kmupstream cannot be determined. In marked contrast, for su . 27.8 kg m23, the transport is estimated as only9.0 Sv, smaller than the widely accepted value of 13 Sv for nearby measurements made in 1978. A reevaluationof the calculations and assumptions made then allows one to determine the uncertainty of the earlier estimateand thereby conclude that the difference between the previous and present measurements is significant, that is,that the transport has decreased between 1978 and 2005–06. Aweakening of the transport during the 9.5-monthperiod is also observed, along with a warming and an increase in salinity in the core of the DWBC. These latterchanges are shown to be consistent with interannual variability rather than a long-term trend
Poverty in Australia 2018
Full text linkThe Poverty in Australia 2018 Report is the latest in the Poverty in Australia series, part of the Poverty and Inequality Partnership between ACOSS and UNSW (Sydney). The companion publication, ‘Inequality in Australia’ profiles income and wealth inequality.
Poverty in Australia 2018 is the fifth report on poverty in the series and updates earlier reports, the first of which was published in 2007. Each report provides a detailed profile of poverty — in aggregate and disaggregated into the groups most affected - and provides a summary and analysis of changes in poverty rates. The information contributes to a better understanding of the extent of poverty, the circumstances of financially vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Australia, and the main factors influencing poverty levels
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
