Comparación de métodos para estimar el balance de masa del glaciar de Zongo, Bolivia (16º S, 68º O)
No full textThe longest and most continuous series of measurements of mass balance in the Intertropical Zone correspond to Zongo glacier, Bolivia. Measurements, which were initiated in 1991, were taken using both the hydrological and glaciological methods. Comparison of these results show discrepancies in the mass balances obtained. In order to verify the mass balances derived from both methods, a new mass balance was performed using the photogrammetric method, results of which were compared with the existing glaciological and hydrological methods. This comparison showed that the hydrological and photogrammetric methods are equivalent. However, these results disagree with the glaciological method. This difference is attributed to a lack of measurements using the glaciological method in areas of difficult access on Zongo glacier. In these areas, the glaciological method simply used interpolation to estimate the specific net mass balance. The final results of this three-method comparison show that the Zongo glacier maintained very close to a steady state of mass balance between 1956 and 1963 and then gained significant mass between 1963 and 1975 (3.86 m eq. aqua). After 1975, mass balances have been almost negative. Moreover, this research extended the range of mass balance observations on Zongo glacier to cover the past 50 years (1956-2006).La serie más larga y continua de mediciones de balance de masa en la Zona Intertropical de Sud América corresponden al glaciar de Zongo, Bolivia. Las mediciones fueron iniciadas en 1991, empleando tanto el método glaciológico como el hidrológico. Los resultados muestran discrepancias en los balances de masa obtenidos por ambos métodos. Con el objetivo de verificar estos balances de masa, se realizó un nuevo balance de masa mediante el método fotogramétrico, que fue comparado con los métodos glaciológico e hidrológico ya existentes. Los resultados de esta comparación entre balances de masa obtenidos con el método hidrológico y fotogramétrico son equivalentes, mientras que la comparación de los resultados obtenidos entre estos y el método glaciológico, están en desacuerdo. Esta diferencia, se atribuye a la imposibilidad de realizar mediciones adecuadas con el método glaciológico en las zonas de difícil acceso del glaciar de Zongo, las cuales son simplemente interpoladas en la estimación del balance de masa neto específico. Los resultados muestran, en general, que el glaciar Zongo ha estado muy cercano a un estadio de equilibrio entre 1956 y 1963; ganó masa entre 1963 y 1975 de manera significativa (3.86 m eq. agua) y a partir de 1975, los balances de masa son negativos. Por otra parte, se han extendido las observaciones del balance de masa del glaciar de Zongo para los últimos 50 años (1956-2006)
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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Contribuição das queimadas na América do Sul para o derretimento das geleiras andinas : estudo de caso sobre o impacto do aerossol "black carbon" na geleira Zongo-Bolívia
No full textO período de maior ocorrência das queimadas na América do Sul, de agosto à outubro, coincide com mudanças sazonais na circulação atmosférica que tornam favoráveis o transporte e a deposição de black carbon sobre as geleiras Andinas. Com o intuito de avaliar o potencial impacto do black carbon emitido pelas queimadas na bacia Amazônica sobre a massa de gelo dessas geleiras, foram modeladas a emissão de BC, o seu transporte e deposição sobre a geleira Zongo, as mudanças no albedo e a perda de massa de gelo/neve em 2 anos críticos, 2007 e 2010. Os valores de emissão para estes anos na bacia Amazônica foram de 34 e 26 Gg para os picos em setembro, e 51 e 76 Gg anuais. Estes valores foram utilizados para a modelagem da emissão, transporte, deposição e perda de massa de gelo devido ao black carbon. A redução no albedo devido as queimadas foi de 2,5-5%, o que resultou em uma perda de massa de gelo/neve de 3,0-6,5 kg/m² ao ano, equivalente a um incremento de 2-4,5% na perda de massa de gelo/neve anual. Esta perda de massa de gelo devido as queimadas pode ser observada na descarga da geleira nos meses de agosto e setembro. O recuo da frente da geleira apresentou uma relação direta com o desmatamento e o número de queimadas na América do sul. Períodos com maiores taxas de recuo coincidiram com os anos de maiores eventos de queimada e desmatamento.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe period of greatest occurrence of fires in South America, from August to October, coincides with seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation that favor the transportation and deposition of black carbon on the Andean glaciers. In order to evaluate the potential impact of the black carbon emitted by the fires in the Amazon over these glaciers, we modeled the emission of BC, its transport and deposition on the Zongo glacier, the change in glacier albedo and the resulting Ice / snow mass loss, during 2 critical years, 2007 and 2010. The emission values for these years in the Amazon basin were 34 and 26 Gg for the peaks in September, and 51 and 76 Gg annual. These values were used for modeling the emission, transport, deposition and loss of ice/snow due to black carbon. The estimated albedo reduction were 2.5-5%, which resulted in a loss of ice / snow mass of 3.0-6.5 kg / m² per year, equivalent to an increase of 2-4,5% annual ice / snow mass loss. The estimated ice/snow loss due to Amazon fire emission can be observed in the Zongo's discharge during august and september. The retreat of the front of the glacier presented a direct relation with the deforestation and the number of fires events in South America. Periods with the highest retreat rates coincided with the years of major events of burning and deforestation
