“Se derem forma à inconstância, esse é o homem”
A intenção deste trabalho é fornecer uma proposta de leitura que percorra a obra do autor português Álvaro do Carvalhal (1844-1868), incluindo a coletânea de seus Contos (1868) e a peça O Castigo da Vingança! (1862). As linhas que orientam o percurso aqui desenvolvido são as representações de ideais amorosos e eróticos em diálogo tanto com as teorias do fantástico quanto com as do grotesco, delineando, a partir disso, o caráter ambíguo e contraditório da totalidade da obra de Carvalhal.
Diálogos com a literatura portuguesa
Organizadores: Aion Roloff, Antonio Augusto Nery, Eduardo Soczek Mendes. Este livro reúne estudos acerca de diversos autores da Literatura Portuguesa: do início do século XIX à contemporaneidade. Autores esses que fizeram da sua produção uma reflexão crítica sobre as suas realidades com a liberdade que a ficção permite. Ficção é também reflexão. ISBN: 978-65-88285-35-0 (eBook) 978-65-88285-36-7 (brochura) DOI: 10.31560/pimentacultural/2020.350
Computational Social Science
Quantitative research in social science research is changing rapidly. Researchers have vast and complex arrays of data with which to work: we have incredible tools to sift through the data and recognize patterns in that data; there are now many sophisticated models that we can use to make sense of those patterns; and we have extremely powerful computational systems that help us accomplish these tasks quickly. This book focuses on some of the extraordinary work being conducted in computational social science - in academia, government, and the private sector - while highlighting current trends, challenges, and new directions. Thus, Computational Social Science showcases the innovative methodological tools being developed and applied by leading researchers in this new field. The book shows how academics and the private sector are using many of these tools to solve problems in social science and public policy.
Hybrid Random Fields
This book presents an exciting new synthesis of directed and undirected, discrete and continuous graphical models. Combining elements of Bayesian networks and Markov random fields, the newly introduced hybrid random fields are an interesting approach to get the best of both these worlds, with an added promise of modularity and scalability. The authors have written an enjoyable book---rigorous in the treatment of the mathematical background, but also enlivened by interesting and original historical and philosophical perspectives. -- Manfred Jaeger, Aalborg Universitet The book not only marks an effective direction of investigation with significant experimental advances, but it is also---and p...
Patterns of Scalable Bayesian Inference
Identifies unifying principles, patterns, and intuitions for scaling Bayesian inference. Reviews existing work on utilizing modern computing resources with both MCMC and variational approximation techniques. From this taxonomy of ideas, it characterizes the general principles that have proven successful for designing scalable inference procedures.
Mr. Darcy, Vampyre
Sourcebooks Landmark, the leading publisher of Jane Austen-related fiction, is excited to announce a major release: Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by international bestselling author Amanda Grange.

I Am a Japanese Writer
A devilishly intelligent new novel by the internationally bestselling author and Prix Mï??dicis winner. A black writer from Montreal has found the perfect title for his next book: I Am a Japanese Writer. His publisher gives him an advance on the strength of the title alone. The problem is, he can't seem to write a word of it. He can scarcely summon the energy to put pen to paper, and so he nurses his writer's block by taking long baths, re-reading the works of Japanese poet Basho and engaging in amorous intrigues with rising pop star Midori and her entourage of vampire girls. For the writer, though, the title isn't just a title: he really does believe he is a Japanese writer. He makes this ...
Bismuth-Ferrite-Based Electrochemical Supercapacitors
This book provides a much-needed, up-to-date overview of unary, binary and ternary bismuth-ferrite-based systems, with a focus on their properties, synthesis methods and applications as electrochemical supercapacitors. It introduces readers to the basic structure and properties of ferrites in general, focusing on the selection criteria for ferrite materials for electrochemical energy storage applications. Along with coverage of ferrite synthesis methods, it discusses bismuth-ferrite structures in unary, binary and mixed ferrite nanostructure systems, as well as future perspectives and limitations for using ferrites as electrochemical supercapacitors. A valuable resource for beginners and advanced researchers working on similar topics, this book enables them to understand the core materials and electrochemical concepts behind bismuth-ferrite-based systems as energy storage materials.

The University and Urban Revival
In the last quarter of the twentieth century, urban colleges and universities found themselves enveloped by the poverty, crime, and physical decline that afflicted American cities. Some institutions turned inward, trying to insulate themselves rather than address the problems in their own backyards. Others attempted to develop better community relations, though changes were hard to sustain. Spurred by an unprecedented crime wave in 1996, University of Pennsylvania President Judith Rodin knew that the time for urgent action had arrived, and she set a new course of proactive community engagement for her university. Her dedication to the revitalization of West Philadelphia was guided by her rol...
