A Expedição Roncador-Xingu e a tarefa de ocupar, civilizar e urbanizar o Brasil Central

Essa dissertação de Mestrado trata do projeto de ocupação do Brasil Central durante o período do Estado Novo através da experiência da Expedição Roncador-Xingu. Nosso interesse é investigar o que envolveu a política de civilizar e urbanizar o interior do País, na busca de uma maior integração entre as diversas regiões. As contradições entre os projetos oficiais e a realidade cotidiana são analisadas com o objetivo de compreender, na dialética que envolveu a campanha desbravadora, de que forma o ideal de progresso promovido pela agência estatal foi apropriado pelas populações locais.

A promoter-level mammalian expression atlas

Regulated transcription controls the diversity, developmental pathways and spatial organization of the hundreds of cell types that make up a mammal. Using single-molecule cDNA sequencing, we mapped transcription start sites (TSSs) and their usage in human and mouse primary cells, cell lines and tissues to produce a comprehensive overview of mammalian gene expression across the human body. We find that few genes are truly 'housekeeping', whereas many mammalian promoters are composite entities composed of several closely separated TSSs, with independent cell-type-specific expression profiles. TSSs specific to different cell types evolve at different rates, whereas promoters of broadly expressed genes are the most conserved. Promoter-based expression analysis reveals key transcription factors defining cell states and links them to binding-site motifs. The functions of identified novel transcripts can be predicted by coexpression and sample ontology enrichment analyses. The functional annotation of the mammalian genome 5 (FANTOM5) project provides comprehensive expression profiles and functional annotation of mammalian cell-type-specific transcriptomes with wide applications in biomedical research.

Analysis of fish diversion efficiency and survivorship in the fish return system at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station

This study examined the efficiency of fish diversion and survivorship of diverted fishes in the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Fish Return System in 1984 and 1985. Generally, fishes were diverted back to the ocean with high frequency, particularly in 1984. Most species were diverted at rates of 80% or more. Over 90% of the most abundant species, Engraulis mordax, were diverted. The system worked particularly well for strong-swimming forms such as Paralobrax clothratus, Atherinopsis californiensis, and Xenistius californiensis, and did not appreciably divert weaker-swimming species such as Porichthys notatus, Heterostichus rostratus, and Syngnathus sp. Return rates of some species were not as high in 1985 as in 1984. Individuals of most tested species survived both transit through the fish return system and 96 hours in a holding net. Some species, such as E. mordox, X. californiensis, and Umbrina roncador, experienced tittle or no mortality. Survivorship of Seriphus politus was highly variable and no Anchoa delicatissima survived. (PDF file contains 22 pages.)

Novas formas da escrita de Clarice Lispector: o manuscrito Objeto gritante e a ficção tardia clariciana

Clarice Lispector foi uma das maiores escritoras brasileiras e, por essa razão, uma das mais estudadas. Muitas relações se fizeram entre sua escrita e a de alguns dos principais ícones da literatura mundial. Entretanto, o mesmo não aconteceu com seus textos produzidos aproximadamente a partir da década de 1970, a ficção derradeira da autora. As obras produzidas principalmente durante essa década, com algumas consagradas exceções, foram um tanto negligenciadas pela crítica. As pesquisadoras Marta Peixoto e Sônia Roncador procuraram provar que a pouca atenção às obras da ficção tardia da autora se deve ao fato de que as mesmas apresentam tendências que vão contra as características do que Clarice produziu anteriormente, como se a escritora tivesse desejado criar um repertório de formas que contradiziam sua produção de antes de 1970. Para demonstrar tal intenção de Lispector, este trabalho procura analisar as características do manuscrito Objeto gritante nunca publicado , o qual, após uma série de alterações significativas, acabou por se transformar na obra Água viva. Caso o projeto do manuscrito não tivesse sofrido redirecionamentos substanciais, teria sido a primeira ocorrência, em livro, das novas formas da escrita clariciana que começavam a se manifestar naquela época, mas que vieram a se consolidar nas suas obras posteriores

Celti e Reti tra V e I sec. a.C. Oggetti tipo LaTène all'interno della cerchia culturale Fritzens-Sanzeno (arco alpino centro-orientale)

The study of the objects LaTène type found in middle-eastern alpine region (Trentino Alto Adige-Südtirol, Engadina, North Tirol, Voralberg and Villach basin) is aimed to a better comprehension of the complex net of relationships established among the Celts, settled both in the central Europe territories and, since the IV century b.C., in the Po Plain, and the local populations. The ancient authors, who called the inhabitants of this area Raeti, propose for this territory the usual pattern according to which, the population of a region was formed consequently to a migration or was caused by the hunting of pre-existing peoples. The archaeologists, in the last thirty years, recognized a cultural facies typical of the middle-eastern alpine territory during the second Iron Age, and defined that as Fritzens-Sanzeno culture (from the sites of Fritzens, Inn valley, and Sanzeno, Non Valley). The so-called Fritzens-Sanzeno culture spread out without breaks from the material culture of the final Bronze Age and the first Iron Age. This local substratum, characterized by a ceramic repertoire strongly standardized, by peculiar architectural solutions and by a particular typology of rural sacred places (Brandopferplätze), accepted, above all during the second Iron Age, the strong influences coming from the Etruscan world and from the Celtic one (evident in the presence of objects of ornament, of glass artefacts, of elements of the weaponry and of coins). The objects LaTène type become, with different degrees of reliability, important markers of the relationships existing between the Celts and the Raeti, although the ways of interaction (cultural influence, people's movements, commercial exchanges, gifts among élites etc.) is not still clear. The revision of published data and the study of unpublished materials allows to define a rich and articulated picture both to chronological level and to territorial one.
