The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering

He explores in-depth the nuances of Jersey Dutch, and provides theories to explain how Dutch and colonial languages blended.

Aplicações da fotogrametria arquitetural digital na documentação de edificações históricas: estudo das obras do Brigadeiro Joseph da Silva Paes, séc. XVIII
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.A importância e contribuição desta pesquisa não estão somente ligadas à ciência como para a história. Cabe um instigante trabalho ao contrapor o antigo e histórico, com o moderno e a alta tecnologia, desta maneira foi incluída nesta pesquisa, não apenas o resgate documental da obra de Silva Paes, mas também um método científico de registro de obras arquitetônicas, como estas realmente estão construídas. Com o avanço tecnológico a fotogrametria digital tomou espaço e ganhou credibilidade; em especial à geração de material tridimensional pelo fato de ser uma representação mais detalhada das fachadas dos monumentos históricos (no caso desta pesquisa o material histórico analisado através desta ferramenta), retratando a situação real destas. Desta maneira ocorre a confrontação de projetos originais no caso das obras do Brigadeiro José da Silva Paes no séc. XVIII nas edificações e sua atual construção; foi analisada através da fotogrametria arquitetural digital apenas uma das construções existentes na Fortaleza de São José da Ponta Grossa na Ilha de Santa Catarina, no caso o Quartel da Tropa; como protótipo coerente à ser executado através do equipamento SSK ImageStation da Z/I, pois o mesmo foi desenvolvido para ser utilizado na fotogrametria aérea; obtendo-se resultados de qualidade geometrica tridimensional para os estudos das obras nos monumentos históricos
Towards the Composition of Specifications in Event-B
No full textThe development of a system can start with the creation of a specification. Following this viewpoint, we claim that often a specification can be constructed from the combination of specifications which can be seen as composition. Event-B is a formal method that allows modelling and refinement of systems. The combination, reuse and validation of component specifications is not currently supported in Event-B. We extend the Event-B formalism using shared event composition as an option for developing (distributed) systems. Refinement is used in the development of specifications using composed machines and we prove that properties and proof obligations of specifications can be reused to ensure valid composed specifications. The main contributions of this work are the Event-B extension to support shared event composition and refinement including the proof obligations for a composed machine

Male genitalia distinctive: parameres symmetrical and partially sclerotised; lateral margin not constricted near the apex; apex rounded and covered by sparce micropunctation. Further morphological details can be found in Westwood (1846), Scholtz et al. (1987) and Ocampo (2006).</p> <p> <i>Sexual dimorphism</i></p> <p> Males of <i>Cryptogenius westwoodi</i> sp. nov. have the fourth ventrite with the same length as (or slightly shorter than) the third (Figure 6a), while the female has the fourth ventrite longer than the third (Figure 6b). For additional characters, see Ide et al. (1990).</p> <p> <i>Distribution</i></p> <p> Certainly present throughout the Amazon, with recorded presence in Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana and Venezuela (Figure 4). Ratcliffe (2002) and Ocampo (2006) also mentioned records under the name of <i>C. miersianus</i> (now <i>C. westwoodi</i>) from Costa Rica and Panama, without further information. Also, Ocampo (2006) mentioned a record from Colombia, but no information about the specific locality or point on the map is given for this country. During this study, we were unable to find specimens from these countries and thus confirm the records.</p> <p> Additionally, Ide et al. (1990) mentioned a record of <i>Cryptogenius fryi</i> from Peru that we believe to be a <i>C. westwoodi</i> (Figure 4). Since we did not examine this specimen personally, we consider Peru a potential record for this newly described species.</p> <p> The specimen found in Serra do Baturité (Ceará, Brazil) is the only record of <i>C. westwoodi</i> outside of the Amazon. The region where this specimen was collected, named ‘Brejo de Altitude̍, is a refuge for forest species that are typically found in areas with higher humidity (i.e. Atlantic Forest and Amazon) (Porto et al. 2004). This find, even unusual for the Amazonian fauna, is not a particularity of <i>Cryptogenius</i> species. Several groups (e.g. dung beetles) were also reported for these isolated forests (Araújo et al. 2020; Cupello et al. 2020) as an effect of a temporary connection between the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest in the last glacial cycle (De Oliveira et al. 1999). With the end of interglacial periods and the consequent retraction of these forests, some relict forests and populations of fauna and flora were isolated (Sobral-Souza et al. 2015).</p> <p> <i>Etymology</i></p> <p> The specific name <i>westwoodi</i>, a masculine noun in the genitive case, is an eponym after the English entomologist John Obadiah Westwood (1805–1893), who described the genus <i>Cryptogenius</i> and countless other insects.</p>Published as part of <i>Costa-Silva, Vinícius & Vaz-de-Mello, Fernando Z., 2023, Not everything is what it seems: the study of type specimens of Cryptogenius Westwood, 1842 species (Coleoptera: Hybosoridae: Anaidinae) reveals a new species and new synonyms, pp. 175-192 in Journal of Natural History 57 (1 - 4)</i> on pages 184-189, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2023.2171821, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/7737073">http://zenodo.org/record/7737073</a>
