Goodbye, Ma, Goodbye Pa, Goodbye mule with your old Heehaw
I don't know what the war's about
But I bet, by jinks, I'll soon find out
And oh my sweetheart don't you fear
I'll bring you a king for a souvenir
I'll bring you a Turk and a Kaiser too
And that's about all one fellow could do.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

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
Acceptability of killing in self-defense in the light of standpoint of Judith Jarvis Thomson
No full textZagadnienie wskazane w tytule mojego artykułu posiada swoje źródło w definicyjnym określeniu osoby postronnej zaproponowanym przez Judith Jarvis Thomson w tekście Obrona własna. Ma więc ono charakter analityczny. Thomson, filozofka moralności i reprezentantka nurtu analitycznego, jest znana głównie z tekstów naukowych w obronie aborcji, a także ze swojego stanowiska nieuwzględniającego szczególnych uprawnień niektórych jednostek (uprawnień typu agent-relative). Celem artykułu jest wskazanie trudności w rozstrzygnięciu na gruncie stanowiska Thomson, czy w pewnym prawdopodobnym i problematycznym przypadku osoba, której życie jest zagrożone, ma prawo do obrony własnej. W tekście nazywam ten przypadek Człowiekiem Śpiącym. Pokazuję jego możliwe problematyczne konsekwencje, które jak wykazuję na końcu artykułu, dotyczą również głównej sytuacji przedstawionej w Obronie aborcji

A study of early indication citation metrics
No full textResearch outputs are growing in number and frequency, assisted by a greater number of publication mediums and platforms via which material can be disseminated. At the same time, the requirement to find acceptable, timely, objective measurements of research "quality" has become more important. Historically, citations have been used as an independent indication of the significance of scholarly material. However, citations are very slow to accrue since they can only be made by subsequently published material. This enforces a delay of a number of years before the citation impact of a publication can be accurately judged. By contrast, each new citation establishes a large number of co-citation relationships between that publication and older material whose citation impact is already well established. By taking advantage of this co-citation property, this thesis investigates the possibility of developing a metric that can provide an earlier indicator of a publication's citation impact. This thesis proposes a new family of cocitation based impact measures, describes a system to evaluate their effectiveness against a large citation database, and justifies the results of this evaluation against an analysis of a diverse range of research metric
Exploring Emptiness: An Investigation of MA and MU in My Sonic Composition Practice
No full textThe commentary investigates Japanese aesthetics of space, silence and emptiness - ma and mu - that informed my compositional practice during the research period 2012 - 2015. The portfolio comprises text compositions and sound installations in which forms of micro events and sustained events are employed. Throughout, the emphasis is on my personal engagement with, and manifestation of emptiness that concerns a particular model of listening and perception.
Chapter 1 discusses six primary research areas: ma and mu, material, text, form, listening and perception. Firstly, I introduce ma and mu by examining noh culture and Zeami's teaching of senu hima (where there is no-action) in the context of my personal approaches to music. The following subjects are then used to contextualise my PhD practice by means of examples from various composers and visual artists. Here, these particular and enigmatic concepts are explored through Japanese art as well as Western contemporary works by Alvin Lucier, Eliane Radigue and those of the Wandelweiser collective.
Part 2 provides contextual commentaries on selected compositions from the portfolio that mostly articulate my aesthetics in relation to the topics covered in Chapter 1. koso koso addresses my methodologies to investigate the essence of senu hima, followed by treow that discusses my approach to materials and the importance of space. I move on to grade two and grade two extended in order to examine text scores, and then, look into Espèces d'espaces 03 and 04 as examples of musical forms that I employ.
Finally, listening and perception are investigated through the compositions gnome and con.de.structuring. Throughout, I describe how my works explore emptiness as a result of my particular emphasis on listening over composing

Thomson scattering in a low-pressure argon mercury positive column
No full textThe electron density and the electron temperature in a low-pressure argon mercury positive column are determined using Thomson scattering. Special attention has been given to the stray light reduction in the Thomson scattering setup. The results are obtained in a discharge tube with a 26 mm diam, 5 mbar of argon, a mercury pressure in between 0.14 and 1.7 Pa, and an electric current ranging from 200 to 400 mA. The systematic error in the electron density is 15%, the statistical error is 25%. The total error in the electron temperature is 10%–20%. © 2000 American Institute of Physics
The Gibbs-Thomson Effect in Dilute Binary Systems
No full textA constructed molar Gibbs energy diagram was used to introduce a general description of the Gibbs-Thomson effect in dilute binary system. The analysis was based on the assumption that the common tangent approach is applicable to the solid-solid systems analyzed. The solubility of a precipitate, which was commonly referred to as the composition of the matrix in equilibrium with the precipitate in the presence of a curved interface, was studied. The equilibrium between the matrix and the precipitate was illustrated by constructing a molar Gibbs free energy diagram. The analysis was found to approximate the solid-solid systems, as if the matrix were liquid
