A poesia de Paul Auster

This thesis examines Paul Austers extremely neglected early work: his poetry. Five books were published: Unearth (1974), Wall writing (1976), Effigies (1977), Fragments from cold (1977) and Facing the music (1980), available only at antiquarians and restrective universities libraries in the United States, as well as at the New York Public Library. Studies around Austers poetic oeuvre are restricted to papers, reviews, translators introduction, and a thesis that focus on his poetry to produce new analyses and interpretations of Austers novelistic works. The aim of this thesis is to gather this scattered material and provide new parameters of study around his poetry. Divided into three chapters, the first one maps the literary magazines where Auster published his poems at first, the translations of his poems and critical fortune; the second examines Austers five books according to three specific topics authorship, language, I and other themes related to them; the third analyzes White Spaces, text considered by the author as the bridge that leads him to prose and in this thesis as a singular writing in which Auster consolidates his literary project, since poetry, previous to prose, yet to come. Maurice Blanchot, Karlheinz Stierle and, principally, Auster, lay the foundation of the investigation. Other theorists who contribute to the understanding of the subject will be called to build the sui generis comparativism put into effect here

Workshop and Symposium on Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries: Towards FAO Guidelines on Marine and Inland Small-scale Fisheries, 19-21 September, 2011, Kolkata, West Bengal, India

The workshop and symposium titled Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries: Towards FAO Guidelines on Marine and Inland Small-scale Fisheries was jointly organized by the National Fishworkers’ Forum (NFF) and the Society for Direct Initiative for Social and Health Action (DISHA), in collaboration with the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF). The workshop was the first in a series of consultations around the world organized to discuss the Voluntary Guidelines on Small-scale Fisheries (VGSSF) and propose measures, keeping in mind the interests and concerns of small-scale fisheries and fishing communities. The workshop was also a forum to make the role of small-scale fisheries and fishworkers more visible in the context of food security, poverty alleviation and sustainable use of fishery resources. The workshop had 62 participants from both the marine and inland sectors, representing 10 States of India. The participants included fishworkers, representatives of fishworker organizations, policymakers and representatives of multilateral organizations. The workshop was structured to facilitate active interaction and discussion among participants, taking into account linguistic diversity and the contextual differences of the marine and inland sectors. This publication will be useful for fishworkers, fishworker organizations, researchers, policymakers, fish farmers, members of civil society and anyone interested in small-scale fisheries and livelihoods.

Atlantic-Mediterranean and within-Mediterranean molecular variation in Coris julis (L. 1758) (Teleostei, Labridae)

Sequence variation in the mitochondrial control region was studied in the Mediterranean rainbow wrasse (Coris julis), a species with pronounced pelagic larval phase inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea and the adjacent coastal eastern Atlantic Ocean. A total of 309 specimens from 19 sampling sites were analysed with the aim of elucidating patterns of molecular variation between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean as well as within the Mediterranean Sea. Phylogeographic analyses revealed a pronounced structuring into a Mediterranean and an Atlantic group. Samples from a site at the Moroccan Mediterranean coast in the Alboran Sea showed intermediate frequencies of “Mediterranean” and “Atlantic” haplotypes. We recognised a departure from molecular neutrality and a star-like genealogy for samples from the Mediterranean Sea, which we propose to have happened due to a recent demographic expansion. The results are discussed in the light of previous studies on molecular variation in fish species between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean and within the Mediterranean.

Anfíbios em uma floresta úmida da vertente pacífico ao sudoeste da Colômbia: avaliação da diversidade e sistemática de espécies, e o uso de recursos alimentares

Na Colômbia ocorrem 787 espécies de anfíbios. Por causa da preocupação com o estado de conservação de muitas dessas espécies, tem se sugerido que na Colômbia deveriam-se priorizar as pesquisas em taxonomia e ecologia em regiões sub-amostradas a fim de intensificar o conhecimento e conservação dos anfíbios colombianos. Baseados em uma análise cienciométrica de 319 trabalhos sobre a ecologia dos anfíbios colombianos publicados entre 1840 e 2014 (No Capítulo 1), identificamos as tendências nos esforços realizados em distintos temas de pesquisa, e a distribuição regional e taxonômica desses estudos. A maioria dos estudos (67%) foi realizada na região Andina colombiana em comparação com outras regiões naturais da Colômbia. Apenas 46% das espécies de anfíbios ocorrendo na Colômbia foi tratada nos estudos analizados, e a maioria (58%) delas é da região Andina. Entre as publicações analizadas identificamos 14 temas de pesquisa em ecologia, dos quais ecologia reprodutiva (26%), conservação de espécies (23%) e dieta (14%) foram os mais pesquisados. Nossos dados mostraram que na Colômbia há um considerável avanço na pesquisa sobre a ecologia dos anfíbios do país, mas ainda são necessários esforços para cobrir muitos vazios de informação para muitas regiões e para muitas espécies de anfíbios que possuem dados incipientes. No sudoeste da Cordilheira Ocidental colombiana há pouca informação ecológica sobre os anfíbios ali ocorrendo. A fim de saber alguns aspectos ecológicos dessas espécies, desenvolvimos três estudos sobre a diversidade e ecologia de anfíbios presentes na Reserva Natural Río Ñambí (a seguir RNRÑ). No Capítulo 2 apresentamos uma análise sistemática do gênero Andinophryne (Família Bufonidae), composto por três espécies, A. atelopoides, A. colomai (presente na RNRÑ) e A. olallai. As filogenias mostraram que Andinophryne está incorporado dentro de Rhaebo. Portanto, sinonimizamos Andinophryne sob Rhaebo e discutimos as sinapomorfias morfológicas putativas para Rhaebo. Além, fornecemos informações ecológicas e sobre o estado de conservação das três espécies incluídas na nova combinação taxonômica. No Capítulo 3 apresentamos uma lista de 19 espécies de anfíbios pertencentes a oito famílias, com uma dominância numérica da família Craugastoridae e do gênero Pristimantis. As espécies com a maior abundância relativa (> 25%) foram Pristimantis labiosus e P. verecundus. Sete diferentes modos de reprodução foram reconhecidos, com a maioria das espécies (68%) possuindo desenvolvimento direto de ovos. Cinco (26%) das espécies registradas estão classificadas dentro das categorias de maior ameaça de extinção. Reportamos para sete espécies a extensão da faixa de distribuição geográfica latitudinal na Colômbia. No Capítulo 4 comparamos a dieta de jovens e adultos de P. labiosus para identificar se houve uma mudança ontogenética no tamanho de presa consumido com o aumento na largura da boca. A dieta foi composta por 19 categorias de presas (> artrópodes), com as duas classes de idade consumindo um similar espectro de categorias. Os jovens têm um nicho trófico maior (0,45) do que os adultos (0,25), com uma sobreposição de nicho relativamente baixa (0,39) entre eles. Apesar da diferencia na largura da boca entre jovens e adultos, não houve uma correspondente mudança ontogenética no tamanho de presa consumida. Consideramos P. labiosus como um predador generalista que parece consumer uma ampla gama de tipos e tamanhos de presas

Application of an acoustic–trawl survey design to improve estimates of rockfish biomass

Biomass estimates of several species of Alaskan rockfishes exhibit large interannual variations. Because rockfishes are long lived and relatively slow growing, large, short-term shifts in population abundance are not likely. We attribute the variations in biomass estimates to the high variability in the spatial distribution of rockfishes that is not well accounted for by the survey design currently used. We evaluated the performance of an experimental survey design, the Trawl and Acoustic Presence/Absence Survey (TAPAS), to reduce the variability in estimated biomass for Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus). Analysis of archived acoustic backscatter data produced an acoustic threshold for delineating potential areas of high (“patch”) and low (“background”) catch per unit of effort (CPUE) in real time. In 2009, we conducted a 12-day TAPAS near Yakutat, Alaska. We completed 59 trawls at 19 patch stations and 40 background stations. The design performed well logistically, and Pacific ocean perch (POP) accounted for 55% of the 31 metric tons (t) of the catch from this survey. The resulting estimates of rockfish biomass were slightly less precise than estimates from simple random sampling. This difference in precision was due to the weak relationship of CPUE to mean volume backscattering and the relatively low variability of POP CPUE encountered. When the data were re-analyzed with a higher acoustic threshold than the one used in the field study, performance was slightly better with this revised design than with the original field design. The TAPAS design could be made more effective by establishing a stronger link between acoustic backscatter and CPUE and by deriving an acoustic threshold that allows better identification of backscatter as that from the target species.

Linking elements of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) with the planned National Water Quality Monitoring Network. Proceedings from the NOAA-Supported workshop 19-21 September 2005

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in cooperation with the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium (NJMSC), hosted a workshop at Rutgers University on 19-21 September 2005 to explore ways to link the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) to the emerging infrastructure of the National Water Quality Monitoring Network (NWQMN). Participating partners included the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association, U.S. Geological Survey, Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Observing Laboratory, and the New Jersey Sea Grant College. The workshop was designed to highlight the importance of ecological and human health linkages in the movement of materials, nutrients, organisms and contaminants along the Delaware Bay watershed-estuary-coastal waters gradient (hereinafter, the “Delaware Bay Ecosystem [DBE]”), and to address specific water quality issues in the mid-Atlantic region, especially the area comprising the Delaware River drainage and near-shore waters. Attendees included federal, state and municipal officials, coastal managers, members of academic and research institutions, and industry representatives. The primary goal of the effort was to identify key management issues and related scientific questions that could be addressed by a comprehensive IOOS-NWQMN infrastructure (US Commission on Ocean Policy 2004; U.S. Ocean Action Plan 2004). At a minimum, cooperative efforts among the three federal agencies (NOAA, USGS and EPA) involved in water quality monitoring were required. Further and recommended by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, outreach to states, regional organizations, and tribes was necessary to develop an efficient system of data gathering, quality assurance and quality control protocols, product development, and information dissemination.
