description: The low fixation rate and colorfastness of natural dyes limit their practical application in modern textile coloration. Further, hazardous mordants are used in conventional natural dyeing to achieve better fixation and colorfastness. Herein, a green, sustainable, and environmental benign fixation process of natural dye was developed using a non-aqueous medium in the absence of mordants to enhance the fixation rate and colorfastness of the dyed fabric. The process was executed by the treatment of the cacao husk extracts/decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) dyed cotton fabric with a cationic dye-fixation agent (CFA)/D5 microemulsion. The conditions of optimal dye fixation process including water content, fixation time, fixation temperature, and CFA mass were determined by using L9 orthogonal array. Significant improvements in the fixation rate (95.03%) and color strength (15.26) were found after CFA treatment under the optimal conditions. Although the light fastness of the CFA-treated dyed fabrics was poor, the colorfastness to rubbing and washing were remarkable. The cacao husk extracts natural functional dye significantly enhanced the UV resistance of the dyed fabric, and the CFA treatment improved the crease recovery characteristic of the dyed fabric. The stiffness of the fabric decreased slightly after dyeing and CFA treatment. Consequently, this study paved the way for the sustainable and green dyeing process.

Unravelling Constance

description: She came from the sea, mazed, amazed —masen  —confused, bewildered,   senseless.   Deceived,   deranged,   crazed.   They stopped  and  asked  her  who  she  was.  When  they  stopped  and asked  her  who  she  was,  she  said  she  did  not  know.  She  said she  was  so  mazed  in  the  sea,  that  she  forgot  her  mind. Her mind —mynde   —   seat   of   memory,   faculty   of   memory, individual remembrance. Reason, understanding. Will, desire, purpose.   She   forgot   her   mind,   when   she   lost   herself. Constance   forgets   Constance.   Constance   is   lost.   Distress teaches  us  to  be  inventive,  says  the  nightingale,  but  blank Constance does not invent. Once,   she   was   Constance.   Syrian   chapmen   found   her   in Rome,  among  the  other  things,  specially.  The  chapmen  took their  cloths  of  gold,  their  satins  rich  of  hew,  their  chaffare  so thrifty  and  new,  and  returned  with  tales  of  Constance.  Their chaffare   —   anything   of   virtue,   something   desirable.   An exchange,  a  bargain,  a  deal. So  thrifty —  well-made,  seemly, suitable.  Golden,  rich  of  hew,  so  thrifty  and  so  new,  they returned   with   tales   of   Constance.   The   chapmen   went   to market.  Take  the  cloth  and sell  the  cloth,  take  the  goods  and sell  the  goods.  The  smooth  trade  in  luxury  prevails  over  gods and  geography.  Facilitate  allegiance  in  the  market.  Chapmen exchange satin for Dame Constance.
Disconsolate Art
Creators: name: Seaman, Myra
Publisher: name: punctum books

description: Art  without  consolation  would,  it  seems,  be  fatally  deficient. Art’s   distinctive   identity,   central   to   a   humanist   aesthetic, emanates  from  its supposedly singular  capacity  to  transcend: where  humanists  are  menaced  by  meaninglessness,  art  offers significance; where humanists lament loss, art reveals timeless truth  and  enduring  beauty;  where  humanists  sense  absence, art promises presence. Humanist art consoles the living about the dead and the losses they signify. It affirms the extension of (human)   life   into   the   realms   of   the   lifeless.   Read   (as   it customarily  is)  with  such  expectations,  Chaucer’s Book  of  the Duchess becomes an artistic experiment in which the death of John  of  Gaunt’s  wife  provides  Chaucer  the  matter  through which to transcend the boundaries of human life  and,  in  that act, create art. But  not  so  fast.  Humanist  traditions  prepare  readers  for such   a   result,   and   yet   this   narrative   continuously   avoids granting  it.  Instead,  the  poem  actively  “refuses  to  re-figure loss  as  transcendence.”1  It  requires  that  we  proclaim,  along with its proverbially obtuse narrator, that “She is dead!” and,  in  the  process,  it  “insist[s]  on  the  irreducibility  of  certain limits.”3  Absence,  loss,  and  the  threat  of  meaninglessness  all endure.   The   poem’s   many   irresolvable   ambiguities —   its narrator’s  mysterious  and  unnatural  illness,  its  melancholic modifications   that   transform   Ovid’s   story   of   Ceyx (for Chaucer,   Seys)   and   Alcyone   into   tragedy,   its   hyperbolic miscommunication  between  grieving knight  and  inquisitive dreamer —  linger.  In  deliberately  refusing  transformation  or transcendence,    the    poem    enacts    what    I would    call    a disconsolate  poetics,  in  which  pain  and  suffering  perdure,  in which darkness obscures the light.

description: O desenvolvimento tecnológico tem sido um dos principais motores para as transformações sentidas pelo sector económico relacionado com a actividade turística. No contexto das novas Tecnologias de Informação e de Comunicação (TIC), a Internet revolucionou a forma de actuação e de posicionamento dos intervenientes dentro do canal da distribuição turística. A distribuição turística viu surgir a obrigatoriedade de se aliar a sistemas que possibilitassem o tratamento, armazenamento, a gestão e a comunicação de informação turística como garantia de sobrevivência das organizações e aumento da competitividade dos destinos. O presente artigo pretende mostrar que os sistemas e as tecnologias de informação e de comunicação têm um papel essencial para as organizações turísticas. Para além da comunicação, a Internet permitiu o desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação, específicos para a criação de pacotes dinâmicos (Dynamic Packaging), os quais permitem aos destinos definirem o seu posicionamento numa sociedade onde todos os dias emergem novas funcionalidades tecnológicas e novos conceitos.

description: We compute a large grid of photoionization models that covers a wide range of physical parameters and is representative of most of the observed PNe. Using this grid, we derive new formulae for the ionization correction factors (ICFs) of He, O, N, Ne, S, Ar, Cl, and C. Analytical expressions to estimate the uncertainties arising from our ICFs are also provided. This should be useful since these uncertainties are usually not considered when estimating the error bars in element abundances. Our ICFs are valid over a variety of assumptions such as the input metallicities, the spectral energy distribution of the ionizing source, the gas distribution, or the presence of dust grains. Besides, the ICFs are adequate both for large aperture observations and for pencil-beam observations in the central zones of the nebulae. We test our ICFs on a large sample of observed PNe that extends as far as possible in ionization, central star temperature, and metallicity, by checking that the Ne/O, S/O, Ar/O, and Cl/O ratios show no trend with the degree of ionization. Our ICFs lead to significant differences in the derived abundance ratios as compared with previous determinations, especially for N/O, Ne/O, and Ar/O.

Suffer the Little Children, or, A Rumination on the Faith of Zombies
Creators: name: Weston, Lisa
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2012

description: In   modern   psychological   parlance   rumination   names   a neurotic brooding, a persistent, relentless mental replaying of a bad memory. In a more medieval context  rumination  is the practice  of  “chewing  over”  a  well-known  and  constantly  re-read text to  achieve  insight  into  the  nature  of  God  and  the universe.  What  follows  here is,  in  a  way,  a cross-temporal rumination  or  (to alter  the  alimentary  metaphor  a  little)  a worrying of a text of a text that worries me.The Prioress’s   Tale’s   narrative   of   the   Litel   Clergeon’s death, partial resurrection and second death is a text that I for one  have  never  satisfactorily  digested.  The  story  is  an  (alas) familiar medieval reflex of the blood-libel: a pious young child is murdered by Jews as he walks the ghetto singing a Christian hymn. But the lurid details of this narrative replay themselves, I  expect,  in  many  a  reader’s  memory: the  slaughtered  child hidden   in   shit; the   frantic,   weeping   mother; the abbot, astounded and confounded by the miraculous discovery of the corpse; the   outraged   Christian   crowd   caught   up   in   anti-Semitic  rhetoric  and  bloody  vengeance;  and  especially,  at  the center of it all, the grotesque body of the Litel Clergeon itself. For it is not, after all, a living seven-year-old boy who sings: it is,  rather,  his  corpse that will  not  shut  up. Nor  is  that  corpse merely  moaning  or  shrieking:    that it  sings  a  hymn  like O Alma  Redemptoris  Mater,  and  might  (theoretically)  sing it forever  unless  re-murdered,  makes  the  dark  grotesquerie of he spectacle  of  this  undead  child all  the  more  pervasive. Throat  slit,  as  the Litel Clergeon  says,  “unto  my  nekke  boon”(VII.649),1 the  child’s body  serves  as  an  eloquent  witness  to the  power  of  God,  yes,  but  hardly  to  anything  like  the  mercy or love proclaimed in the hymn. For that ghastly singing body is    stuck, zombie-like, forever on the verge of dying, a victim of violence  producing future  violence and  propagating  further victims.

description: A sazonalidade do turismo é a flutuação do nível de actividade (turística) durante o ano. Os factores determinantes deste fenómeno foram especificados por investigadores com base nos estudos em determinadas regiões. No caso da oferta turística, classificada conforme os sete produtos característicos do turismo para a Conta Satélite do Turismo em Portugal, as causas podem ser distintas, dependendo do negócio de cada tipo de oferta. O conhecimento das causas da sazonalidade do turismo para cada tipo de oferta turística é imprescindível para a busca da gestão da sazonalidade. A causa natural, pelo factor clima, pode não ser representativa para a actividade alojamento enquanto para os serviços de lazer esta é a principal causa. Desta forma, procurou-se investigar a oferta turística da região do Algarve para verificar qual a principal causa da sazonalidade junto a estas empresas e se esta causa é a mesma para todas ou se há diferentes causas para cada tipo de oferta turística.

description: We study current-induced switching in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) in the presence of a field-like spin-transfer torque and titled pinned-layer magnetization in the high current limit at finite temperature. We consider both the Slonczewski and field-like torques with coefficients $a_J$ and $b_J $, respectively. At finite temperatures, $σ= b_J/a_J = \pm1$ leads to a smaller mean switching time compared that with $σ= 0$. The reduction of switching time in the presence of the field-like term is due to the alignment effect (for $σ> 0$) and the initial torque effect.

description: El desarrollo del turismo en los últimos cincuenta años ha sido promovido para atraer grandes cantidades de visitantes que redunden en vastas captaciones de divisas. Sin embargo, los resultados en la esfera ambiental y social no favorecen la permanencia del modelo, dado el agotamiento de los recursos y el aumento de la pobreza. Aun cuando en el discurso oficial de los últimos diez años ha sido entorno a la búsqueda de un desarrollo sustentable de la actividad turística, la política y acciones apuntan hacía el crecimiento sostenido e indiscriminado del número de visitantes, sobre todo en espacios naturales. Ante la crisis, el uso e implementación de la capacidad de carga contribuye al establecimiento de límites para el equilibrio del entorno natural y social; principal motivador para el desplazamiento de las personas. De esta forma la capacidad de carga turística contribuye con información para instaurar variables que coadyuven al equilibrio entre economía – sociedad y medioambiente.

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Background: The Po, Pb, Hg, and Pt region is known for the presence of coexisting structures that correspond to different particle-hole configurations in the Shell Model language or equivalently to nuclear shapes with different deformation. Purpose: We intend to study the configuration mixing phenomenon in the Hg isotopes and to understand how different observables are influenced by it. Method: We study in detail a long chain of mercury isotopes, $^{172-200}$Hg, using the interacting boson model with configuration mixing. The parameters of the Hamiltonians are fixed through a least square fit to the known energies and absolute B(E2) transition rates of states up to $3$ MeV. Results: We obtained the IBM-CM Hamiltonians and we calculate excitation energies, B(E2)'s, quadrupole shape invariants, wave functions, isotopic shifts, and mean field energy surfaces. Conclusions: We obtain a fairly good agreement with the experimental data for all the studied observables and we conclude that the Hamiltonian and the states we obtain constitute a good approximation to the Hg isotopes.

description: With the aid of large-scale three-dimensional QED-PIC simulations, we describe a realistic experimental configuration to measure collective effects that couple strong field quantum electrodynamics to plasma kinetics. For two counter propagating lasers interacting with a foil at intensities exceeding $10^{22}$ Wcm$^{-2}$, a binary result occurs; when quantum effects are included, a foil that classically would effectively transmit the laser pulse becomes opaque. This is a dramatic change in plasma behavior, directly as a consequence of the coupling of radiation reaction and pair production to plasma dynamics.
Hierarchical travel-market segmentation based on travel expenses. The case of San Martin de los Andes, Patagonia, Argentina

description: Travel-market segmentation can help tourist-destination managers to have a better understanding of tourists’ needs and, consequently, to address more accurately their tourist offers. In order to identify the main market segments of San Martin de los Andes in the south of Argentina, an empirical study was made utilizing a sample of 276 tourists who visited this site during the 2004 summer season. To identify the main market segments of this tourist site, the AID (Automatic Interaction Detection) technique was utilized considering daily-tourist expenses as dependent variable. The results of the study showed that segments entitled “Gasoleros”, “Sightseeing singles and couples”, “Active couples”, “High-income small families”, “Mid-income families”, and “Low-income families” can be considered as constituting a whole the target tourist-market of San Martín de los Andes.With the study, tourism managers can assess more accurately the tourist demands of this destination; the findings in this study can thus contribute to the effective implantation of the Operative Marketing Program Strategies contained in the “Masterful Plan of Tourism 2003-2007”.

description: Introductory  comments:  I  will  address  divine  darkness  by  fo-cusing  on  the  distinction  between  thought  and  experience,  a distinction  which  parallels  the  distinctions  between thatand what,  and  between  soul  (or  life)  and  body.  I  am  interested here in darkness as an occluded relation or blind spot between thought  and  experience.  At  the  same  time  I  would  like  to ground  the  concept  of  divine  darkness  in  the  traditional  aim or  purpose  of  mystical  contemplation,  which  is  to  become God, to achieve union with God. This is a desire which is legi-ble, but also refused in Bataille’s work, in which we see a kind of reification of the limit of experience and with it, necessarily, a  mystification  of  mysticism.  An    important  figure  for  my  re-sponse  is  the  figure  of  the  cephalophore,  the  head-bearing saint.  Of  course  Dionysius  the  Areopagite,  identified  as  St. Denis, was a cephalophore. I will try to suggest that the ceph-alophore should be reinvented by speculative medievalists as a human  ideal  proper  to  congested  humanity,  the  anthropo-cene, the so-called age of man—the global dead which Eugene ended  with.  I  should  also  note  that  there  is  an  intimate  rela-tion between the mirror and beheading. When we look into a mirror or speculate, we are non-violently beheaded.

description: O Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, localizado a 545 Km da cidade do Recife (Pernambuco), tem como principal atividade econômica o turismo, recebendo anualmente mais de 50.000 visitantes. Seu ambiente insular, marcado pela ausência de bacias hidrográficas perenes, passa atualmente por uma crise de disponibilidade de recursos hídricos. Esse quadro se agrava, sobretudo, nos meses de maior demanda turística, nos quais a ilha recebe intenso fluxo turístico. Dessa forma, um fator crítico para a sustentabilidade da atividade turística em Fernando de Noronha é o seu sistema de abastecimento de água. Diante desse cenário, o presente artigo teve como objetivo discutir sobre as relações entre o turismo e os recursos hídricos do Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, a partir da caracterização geral do consumo de água pelos meios de hospedagem locais, selecionando-se, como amostra da pesquisa, 35 pousadas locais. A análise baseou-se em dados do consumo de água (consumo mensal e consumo médio anual) das pousadas da ilha, referentes aos anos de 2003 e 2004, coletados junto à Companhia Pernambucana de Saneamento (COMPESA).

description: We theoretically investigate ferromagnetic ordering in magnetically doped solid-solution narrow-gap semiconductors with the strong spin-orbit interaction such as Cr-doped Bi$_2$(Se$_x$Te$_{1-x}$)$_3$. We compute the spontaneous magnetization of impurities and itinerant electrons, and estimate the critical temperature as a function of the concentration of magnetic dopants and the strength of the spin-orbit interaction. It is found that the critical temperature is proportional to the concentration of dopants and enhanced with the strong spin-orbit interaction. It is also found that the ferromagnetic transition could make the system turn to the Weyl semimetal which possesses a pair of Weyl points separating in the momentum space.

title: The gas-surface interactions of zirconium based metal-organic frameworks
Creators: name: Lawrence, Mason Chester
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2024

description: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials that are formed when inorganic metal cations or clusters (nodes) are combined with organic anions (ligands). With careful choice of both node and ligand a porous material that contains a large internal surface area can be formed. With a large internal surface area, the study of many real-world applications of MOFs have been investigated such as catalysis, gas separations, gas storage and drug delivery. This thesis explores how the modification of structural features (e.g., pore sizes, functional groups, defect concentration) in zirconium-based MOFs impacts the gas/vapour adsorption of two atmospherically abundant compounds. Chapter 2 explores how water adsorption capabilities changes as the previously mention structural features are changed. The obtained results suggest that the water adsorbs by a water cluster growth mechanism that starts around the node. Estimation of the contact angle of water in the pore suggests that as the size of the ligand (i.e., pore size) is increased, the material becomes more hydrophobic. With the addition of pendant amine groups, the MOFs become more hydrophilic but the impact of the addition of the amine group decreases as the length of the ligand increases. Chapter 3 focuses on how structural features impacts the carbon dioxide gas adsorption properties. Pore size, number of defects, cluster dehydration, and cluster functionalization were examined to determine which features had the biggest enhancements on the carbon dioxide gas adsorption. The experiments found that pore size had the largest impact on the enthalpy of adsorption of carbon dioxide gas. MOFs that naturally had small pores, or were functionalized to reduce the pore size, had more confinement effects that lead to an increased enthalpy of adsorption. Furthermore, the experiments showed how important the cluster-containing μ3-OH units were on carbon dioxide gas adsorption. Finally, Chapter 4 outlines some projects that have been started, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic were unable to be completed. Some of these are direct extensions to the work in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, while others are new projects that were thought of during my graduate program.

The geometry of small angle X-ray scattering is straightforward, namely, the scattered photons travel longer paths and thus arrive later than the unscattered ones; thus the delay time of X-ray scattered halo photons can reveal information of the distances of the interstellar dust and the point source. Here we present a study of the X-ray scattered around IGR J17544-2619, which is one of the so-called supergiant fast X-ray transients. IGR J17544-2619 underwent a striking outburst when observed with Chandra on 2004 July 3, providing a near delta-function lightcurve. We find that the X-ray scattered halo around IGR J17544-2619 is produced by two interstellar dust clouds along the LOS. The one which is closer to the observer gives the X-ray scattered at larger observational angles; whereas the farther one, which is in the vicinity of the point source, explains the halo with a smaller angular size. By comparing the observational angle of the scattered halo photons with that predicted by different dust grain models, we are able to determine the normalized dust distance. With the delay times of the scattered halo photons, we can determine the point source distance, given a dust grain model. Alternatively we can discriminate between the dust grain models, given the point source distance.

The Speculative Angel
Creators: name: Smith, Anthony Paul
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: “Let the angel come.” This is how Guy Lardreau and Christian Jambet preface their heretical, perhaps misguided and certain-ly maligned, but utterly fascinating fusion of Lacan, Mao, and political  theology  in  their L’Ange  of  1976.  They  are  more pleading  later  in  the  book,  writing:  “The  angel  must  come.” But  what  does  any  of  this  mean?  Why,  when  considering speculative medievalisms, have I chosen to write about angels, those  beings  that  seem  the  least  contemporary  and  perhaps most reactionary of medieval theory? And why have I chosen to  do  so  largely  via  a  virtually  unknown  or  forgotten  text  by two  Maoists  whose  work  has  largely  been  ruined  for  us  by  its placement as one species of the cynical, often racist and impe-rialistic, neo-liberal  and  anti-communist  New  Philosophers? What  does  this  ostensibly  political  text,  one  that  the  authors declare  is  nothing  but  a  Maoist  philosophy  (contrary  to  the idea  that  they  are  fellow-travellers  with  the  Sarkozist  ex-Maoists like Glucksmann or Bernard-Henri Lévy), have to say about  speculation  today?  And  in  what  way  is  it  grounded  in the  premodern  condition?  The  answer  is,  in  part,  because  I want  to  understand  what  speculation  may  have  to  do  with revolt,  with  struggle,  and  it  is  in  the  figure  of  the  Angel  that such  questions  come  together,  both  historically  and  within wildly  speculative  ultra-left  French  theory.  For  the  Angel  is both  a  negative  name  for  something  that  is  not  Worldly  and the  Angel  is  a field  of  battle  where  one  either  becomes  a  do-mesticated, pacified bureaucrat of the way things are or where one separates and divides what is from what could be.
O guia-intérprete: mediador intercultural
Creators: name: Brito, Luís Miguel
Publisher: name: Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento
Year: 2008

description: A citação acima resume a essência do turismo como fenómeno cultural, intercultural e global. Partindo deste pressuposto, propomos que o turismo intercultural seja examinado como uma interdisciplina, formada pela intersecção de outras disciplinas, tanto da área da Sociologia como das Humanidades. Numa abordagem intercultural cabem ainda sugestões de inserção de outras matérias. O papel de mediador cultural é desempenhado pelo guia-intérprete que detém o poder da informação. Esse poder permite-lhe influenciar tanto o turista como a comunidade de acolhimento. Se o guia usar correctamente o seu poder será parcialmente responsável pelo retorno do turista. O guia tem um papel crucial na promoção do destino através da satisfação do cliente. Este será também um óptimo promotor do destino, pelo fenómeno chamado “boca a boca”. Por outro lado, os guias-intérpretes põem o turista em contacto com a cultura local, utilizando um discurso com referências à escala global. Só desenvolvendo as necessárias competências interculturais, o guia-intérprete será capaz de transmitir com clareza a sua mensagem. Em que consiste o turismo intercultural? Qual o papel dos guias-intérpretes no estabelecimento de relações interculturais? Quais as competências interculturais que devem desenvolver os profissionais para comunicar com os clientes? Concluir-se-á que os guias-intérpretes estabelecem uma ponte segura e fiável entre os actores do turismo, desde que desenvolvam as necessárias competências interculturais.

Análise autoral da revista turismo & desenvolvimento
Creators: name: Santos, Jorge Pacheco Dos
Publisher: name: Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento
Year: 2008

description: Montras de investigação avançada e reflexão, as revistas periódicas académicas desempenham um papel fundamental no progresso da Ciência, com implicações na vida das instituições e no reconhecimento profissional dos autores. Reflectindo a rápida expansão do Turismo nas últimas décadas, os títulos desta área contribuem simultaneamente para a difusão do conhecimento “turístico” e para a sua afirmação académica. O propósito principal deste artigo consiste na replicação de um estudo de Sheldon (1991), actualizado por Jogaratnam et al. (2005), sobre a autoria em três das mais proeminentes publicações periódicas internacionais na área do Turismo, aplicando-o à Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento (RT&D). Para o efeito foi construída uma base de dados com a informação sobre os artigos publicados na secção “Artigos Científicos”. Os resultados equiparam a RT&D às congéneres internacionais, tanto no que respeita aos autores, como às respectivas instituições de filiação, mas também revelam uma insuficiente representação dos sectores além da esfera académica.

description: We compute the Entanglement Entropy (EE) of a bipartition in 2D pure non-abelian $U(N)$ gauge theory. We obtain a general expression for EE on an arbitrary Riemann surface. We find that due to area-preserving diffeomorphism symmetry EE does not depend on the size of the subsystem, but only on the number of disjoint intervals defining the bipartition. In the strong coupling limit on a torus we find that the scaling of the EE at small temperature is given by $S(T) - S(0) = O\left(\frac{m_{gap}}{T}e^{-\frac{m_{gap}}{T}}\right)$, which is similar to the scaling for the matter fields recently derived in literature. In the large $N$ limit we compute all of the Renyi entropies and identify the Douglas-Kazakov phase transition.

Lapidary Demons: Response to Anthony Paul Smith
Creators: name: Woodard, Ben
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: Given  the  problem  of  localizing  the  power  of  speculation  in the pre-modern assisted by the impertinent form of the angel, I  wish  to  approach  the  irruption  of  workable  forms,  of  the non-ideological message, through Naturephilosophie,  through somewhat  weird  (and  hopefully  medieval)  means,  with  the construction of Lapidary Demons as a diagonal response. Stone appears as the recapitulation of immanence, of mat-ter  seemingly  foreclosed  and  foreclosing,  the  material  of  in-ternment  and  memorial.  The  stone,  the  movement  of  the  in-organic,  indexes  deep  time  and  the  failure  of  the  category  of the  inorganic  itself  in Naturephilosophie,  since  we  find  stone participating  in  the  partial  dominion  of  life on  matter,  in DeLanda's  well  known  narrative  of  mineralization  in homo sapiens  endoskeletons.1  Similarly,  dwelling  or  the  carving  of knowledge  on  stone  redirects  the  torpid  trajectory  of  its  re-shapings, albeit only slightly.
O interface empresas-estado do turismo português, numa perspectiva sistémica
Creators: name: Firmino, Manuel Brazinha
Publisher: name: Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento
Year: 2008

description: O presente trabalho tem por objectivo preencher uma lacuna que existe em Portugal no domínio das estratégias das empresas do sector do turismo e na relação destas empresas com o Estado. Existem problemas e desfasamentos entre as estratégias empresariais e a política de turismo protagonizada pelos sucessivos governos, em Portugal. Após a revisão bibliográfica foi possível construir e deduzir um modelo teórico, e deste modelo, resultou a formulação de 7 hipóteses teóricas e a elaboração do inquérito por questionário. Foram recolhidos 415 questionários, os quais foram preenchidos pelos principais empresários e gestores das empresas do sector do turismo português. Na etapa seguinte, os principais elementos da amostra, forneceram os seus relatórios e contas. O confronto entre as hipóteses teóricas e os resultados obtidos no trabalho empírico permitiu identificar a relação existente entre variáveis, entre factores, entre variáveis e factores e propor às empresas e aos poderes públicos uma nova abordagem. Finalmente, são sugeridas uma série de implicações para a gestão estratégica dos destinos turísticos, envolvendo as empresas e as Organizações Nacionais de Turismo.

Srnicek's Risk: Response to Nick Srnicek
Creators: name: O'Rourke, Michael
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: In  an  August  2009  interview  with  Paul  Ennis  at Another Heidegger  Blog  Nick  Srnicek,  speculative  heretic  that  he  is, quite  rightly  asserts  that,  “Speculative  Realism  doesn’t  label  a single  set  of  positions”  because  “the  four  main  contributors [Graham   Harman,   Quentin   Meillassoux,   Iain   Hamilton Grant,  Ray  Brassier]  to  it  are  all  vastly  different,  and  there really  is  no  common  ground.”  However,  I  want  to  suggest that   Srnicek’s   work,   at   least   in   his   contribution   to   our laboratory-atelier,   “Abstraction   and   Value:   The   Medieval Origins of Financial Quantification,” is closest to the critically speculative  position  of  Meillassoux  in After  Finitude,  a  book which,  in  the  same  interview,  Srnicek  claims  is  “the  best diagnosis of the problems with contemporary philosophy, and argued  with  a  clarity  that  proves  logic,  surprise  and  wonder don’t need to be mutually exclusive.”  Srnicek himself, at least in this interview, places his work within a post-Marxist faction of  Speculative  Realism  which  is  broadly  interested  in  and united  by  a  common  aim  to  reassess  “agency  in  the  light  of neuroscience, eliminativism, and non-philosophy” as well as a focus   on   the   concrete   technical   and   material   aspects   of political  economy.”  “Abstraction  and  Value,”  however, seems to   be   less   obviously   Latourian,   or   Laruellian   or   to   have anything  particularly  to  do  with  the  eliminativist  or  non-philosophical positions we can discern in his other writing (or on his blog The Accursed Share). Rather,  Srnicek’s basic post-Marxist thesis, the one advanced here, that the world political system  is  moving  toward  a  more  medieval  type  of  political system   depends—among   other   things—on   a   speculatively financial  reading  of  Elie  Ayache's  reading  of  Meillassoux’s After Finitude3  in The Blank Swan: The End of Probability  to try to articulate what this different economic system will do to a  medival  political  system.  What  we  have  here  is  a  sort  of critically   speculative,   post-Marxist   understanding   of   the economy.  This  is  his  risk.  And  Ayache  describes  for  us  what this  kind  of  creative  political  work  might  look  like,  might doin The Blank Swan
Angular momentum transport by stochastically excited oscillations in rapidly rotating massive stars

description: We estimate the amount of angular momentum transferred by the low-frequency oscillations detected in the rapidly rotating hot Be star HD 51452. Here, we assume that the oscillations detected are stochastically excited by convective motions in the convective core of the star, that is, we treat the oscillations as forced oscillations excited by the periodic convective motions of the core fluids having the frequencies observationally determined. With the observational amplitudes of the photometric variations, we determine the oscillation amplitudes, which makes it possible to estimate the net amount of angular momentum transferred by the oscillations using the wave-meanflow interaction theory. Since we do not have any information concerning the azimuthal wavenumber $m$ and spherical harmonic degree $l$ for each of the oscillations, we assume that all the frequencies detected are prograde or retrograde in the observer's frame and they are all associated with a single value of $m$ both for even modes ($l=|m|$) and for odd modes ($l=|m|+1$). We estimate the amount of angular momentum transferred by the oscillations for $|m|=1$ and 2, which are typical $|m|$ values for Be stars, and find that the amount is large enough for a decretion disc to form around the star. Therefore, transport of angular momentum by waves stochastically excited in the core of Be stars might be responsible for the Be phenomenon.
