Jervisite, NaScSi2O6: Optical data, morphology, Raman spectroscopy, and crystal chemistry
No full textThe crystal structure of jervisite, ideally NaScSi2O6, was refined using single-crystal X-ray data collected using a crystal from the Seula quarry (Baveno, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, Italy). The refinement was carried out in the C2/c space group giving the following unit-cell dimensions: a = 9.8478(2) angstrom, b = 9.0575(1) angstrom, c = 5.3409(3) angstrom, beta = 106.87(2)degrees, and V = 455.89(2) angstrom(3) for Z= 4. The previous crystal structure, refined using data from a synthetic analogue and a natural sample, was confirmed and conforms with that of aegirine. The bond-valence calculation and the refined occupancy of the M1 and M2 sites confirm the cation distribution adopted in the empirical formula. Raman spectroscopy and refractive index measurements were also performed, and the morphology was studied in order to provide a complete description of this Sc-bearing Na pyroxene
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

No full textTransmesenteric approach for left transperitoneal renal surgery : technique and experience
No full textIntroduction: In the last few years laparoscopic surgery has become the gold standard for the treatment of several urological diseases such as renal cancer and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). A transmesenteric approach for left laparoscopic pyeloplasty has been recently described in order to avoid bowel manipulation and the potentially related complications. The aim of the present study is to describe the surgical technique and the advantages of the transmesenteric approach for laparoscopic pyeloplasty, pyelolithotomy, and simple nephrectomy in our experience. Subjects and Methods: From December 2007 to May 2010, 12 laparoscopic procedures for left renal diseases were performed using a transmesenteric approach. The indications were left UPJO in 9 cases, left pelvic-ureteral stones in 2 cases, and left end-stage kidney disease in one case. Results: No conversions or intraoperative complications were observed. No blood transfusions were required. Resumption of oral intake and canalization occurred in all cases within 48 hours of the procedure. All patients had an uneventful postoperative course. Conclusions: The laparoscopic transmesenteric approach represents an interesting and advantageous technical improvement of minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of left renal diseases
