A experiência e o narrador: a escrita-viagem de Shackleton, Scott, e Amundsen na conquista do Polo Sul
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2013.Este trabalho é uma leitura de três livros escritos por navegadores que buscaram alcançar o Polo Sul na segunda década do século XX. Os escritos de Robert Falcon Scott, Roald Amundsen e Ernest Shackleton são analisados a partir dos conceitos de narração e experiência proferidos por Walter Benjamin. A hipótese da pesquisa é a recuperação da tradição de contar histórias herdada dos heróis homéricos. Os diários de bordo serviram de base para a estruturação dos relatos dos três narradores-viajantes. A fotografia foi um suporte inovador de registro e narrativa.Abstract : The following work is about three books written by navigators who tried to reach the South Pole in the 1920s. Robert Falcon Scott, Road Amundsen and Ernest Schacleton's writings are here analyzed through Walter Benjamin's concepts of narration and experience. The hypothesis dealt with is the recuperation of a storytelling tradition inherited from homeric heroes. The navigators' logbooks offered a base to the narrations and, in that sense, photography also served as an innovative support

Book of the month: Kennetta Hammond Perry's London is the Place for Me
No full textAuthor: Desmond L. Kemp Indiana University Purdue University Our book recommendation of the month is London is the Place for me whereby activism in London and America has been an ongoing challenge for Black people. Perry delivers a solid account of how post-war Afro-Caribbean migrants resisted British racism to establish their citizenship in England. The introduction begins with a calypso music tribute in "Windrush Politics", sets the tone of social history for migrants with a tale of the arr..

Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity

Dissolved organic matter and metabolic dynamics in dryland lowland rivers
No full textDissolved organic matter (DOM) within freshwaters is essential for broad ecosystem function. The concentration and type of DOM within rivers depends on the relative contributions of allochthonous sources and the production and consumption of DOM by microbes. In this work we have examined the temporal patterns in DOM quality and productivity in three lowland rivers in dryland Australia using fluorescence excitation emission scans. We assessed the production and consumption of DOM within light and dark bottle assays to quantify the relative contribution of bacteria and algae to the DOM pool and simultaneously assessed whether the systems were autotrophic or heterotrophic. DOM varied temporally within the three river systems over the course of the study period. Characterisation of DOM within light and dark bottles following a 6-hour incubation revealed microbial consumption of a humic-like component and production of protein-like components similar in nature to the amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine. The lack of a significant difference in DOM quality between the light and dark bottles indicated that the protein-like DOM is likely derived from bacterial activity. Respiration was shown to be higher than gross primary production in both whole river and bottle assays, yielding negative net production values and demonstrating that these rivers were predominately heterotrophic. Our work suggests that bacterial metabolism of DOM may be a significant contributor to the production of protein-like components within heterotrophic freshwater systems.No Full Tex
