Exploring The Art Of Queer Life Writing Through Virginia Woolf’s Orlando: A Biography

Virginia Woolf’s Orlando: A Biography (1928) is a fictional literary biography that archives the lived experiences of a queer, non-dying person, a novel that would understandably complicate fact, fiction, truth, life writing, theory, and empiricism within academia. However, queer theory has often been inattentive to queer life writing such as Orlando: A Biography, though the materiality of queerness is ubiquitous in the text. In many ways, Orlando: A Biography queers the very genre of life writing while simultaneously providing a model of the queer hero of the past that does not disappoint. Thus, in the following paper I will address the potential limitations, expectations, and contributions of the genre of life writing, outline contemporary developments of the genre through interdisciplinary analysis, examine why academic fields steer away from life writing, and provide a potential lens through which to frame and explore all of the aforementioned inquires in an effort provide insight into the future of queer studies by looking to what has been lived and livable in the past through Orlando: A Biography

Enhancing access to the levy sheet music collection: reconstructing full-text lyrics from syllables

The goal of the Lester S. Levy Sheet Music Collection, Phase Two project is to develop tools, processes, and systems that facilitate collection ingestion through automated processes that reduce, but not necessarily eliminate human intervention[1]. One of the major components of this project is an optical music recognition (OMR) system[2] that extracts musical information and lyric text from the page images that comprise each piece in a collection. It is often the case, as it is with the Levy Collection, that lyrics embedded in music notation are written in a syllabicated form so that each syllable lines up with the note or notes to which it corresponds. Searching the syllabicated form of words, however, would be counterintuitive and cumbersome for end-users. This paper describes the evolution of a tool that, using a simple algorithm, rebuilds complete words from lyric syllables and, in ambiguous cases, provides feedback to the collection builder. This system will be integrated into the workflow of the Levy Sheet Music Collection, but has broad applicability for any project ingesting musical scores with lyrics

Comprehensive evidence implies a higher social cost of CO2

The social cost of carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) measures the monetized value of the damages to society caused by an incremental metric tonne of CO2 emissions and is a key metric informing climate policy. Used by governments and other decision-makers in beneft–cost analysis for over a decade, SC-CO2 estimates draw on climate science, economics, demography and other disciplines. However, a 2017 report by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine1 (NASEM) highlighted that current SC-CO2 estimates no longer refect the latest research. The report provided a series of recommendations for improving the scientifc basis, transparency and uncertainty characterization of SC-CO2 estimates. Here we show that improved probabilistic socioeconomic projections, climate models, damage functions, and discounting methods that collectively refect theoretically consistent valuation of risk, substantially increase estimates of the SC-CO2. Our preferred mean SC-CO2 estimate is $185 per tonne of CO2 ($44–$413 per tCO2: 5$51 per tCO2. Our estimates incorporate updated scientifc understanding throughout all components of SC-CO2 estimation in the new open-source Greenhouse Gas Impact Value Estimator (GIVE) model, in a manner fully responsive to the near-term NASEM recommendations. Our higher SC-CO2 values, compared with estimates currently used in policy evaluation, substantially increase the estimated benefts of greenhouse gas mitigation and thereby increase the expected net benefts of more stringent climate policies

Granos de polen de Asuncion, (32º33'21''S/68º14'45''O),Lavalle, Mendoza, origen vegetal y otras características: Anexo 1

En el artículo publicado en Espacio Apícola , Año X, Nº 44, se determinó el origen vegetal de los granos de polen y el porcentaje correspondiente de granos procedentes de, una, dos o varias especies vegetales, en los productos correspondiente a dos intervalos de tiempo seleccionados por el Apicultor Pedro Calderón. Circunstancias hicieron que Pedro decidiera unificar la cosecha de granos  de polen de la temporada 1999-2000 para la venta. Consecuentemente se analizaron 400 nuevos granos de polen, de igual forma como se explicará en el artículo arriba mencionado y se obtuvieron nuevamente identificaciones y respectivas concentraciones de los granos de polen pertenecientes a la especie o las especies vegetales. Fil: Wingenroth, Monica Cristina.

Granos de polen de Asunción (32º33'21''S/68º14'45''O),Lavalle, Mendoza, origen vegetal y otras características

Son dos las razones fundamentales por las cuales es un orgullo publicar este trabajo de investigación en Espacio Apicola. En primer lugar porque conocemos la capacidad científica de su autora, la Dra. Wingenroth, que no sólo  a puesto su bagage de conocimientos  y la estupenda infraestrutura del Laboratorio de Palinología del IANIGLA, CRICYT con sus numerosos colaboradores al servicio de éste; sino que además nos consta  la gran cantidad de días dedicados, por ella personalmente, al relevamiento de datos en el campo tal como los antecedentes que hemos publicado sobre este trabajo lo demuestran Finalmente porque este trabajo de investigación se desarrolla en conjunto con una empresa Apícola, del Sr. Calderón, con colmenares instalados y dedicados a la producción de la cual viven él y su familia, lo cual le da un marco de realismo y factibilidad del que muchos otros trabajos de investigación adolecen.Fil: Wingenroth, Monica Cristina.
