This research seeks to describe the structure formed by interactions between the entities of researchers engaged in the creation of technologies applicable to the three selected crops. To do so, were privileged sociometric and bibliometric techniques, applying them to papers published in scientific journals indexed in the SciELO database. We have found evidence pointing to the existence of inter-organizational cooperation, where: each network has a large component, whose links pass through the central elements of the subset consisting of ten entities, which account for the largest share of research, five entities are common to the central subsets, the links between these central elements have distinct characteristics in each network, the diameter of the core components is small, as well the average distance between the vertices, and almost all the major entities in the arrangements studied are public.O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever a estrutura formada pelas interações entre as entidades de pesquisadores engajadas na criação de tecnologias aplicáveis ao milho em comparação com àqueles arranjos voltados para o café e a soja, três das culturas mais relevantes para o Brasil. Para tanto, foram privilegiadas a Análise de Redes Sociais e a bibliometria, aplicando-as a trabalhos publicados em periódicos científicos indexados na base de dados SciELO. Foram encontradas indicações que apontam para a existência de cooperação inter-organizacional, sendo que: cada rede possui um grande componente, cujas ligações passam pelos elementos do subconjunto central composto por dez entidades, que respondem pela maior parcela da pesquisa; cinco entidades são comuns aos subconjuntos centrais; as ligações entre esses elementos centrais têm características distintas em cada rede; o diâmetro dos componentes centrais é pequeno, bem como a distância média entre os vértices; e as principais entidades dos arranjos são públicas.

A Virtual union catalog is a possible alternative to the centralized database of distributed resources found in many library systems. Such a catalog would not be maintained in a single location but would be created in real time by searching each local campus or affiliate library’s catalog through the Z39.50 protocol. This would eliminate the redundancy of record storage as well as the expense of loading and maintaining access to the central catalog. This article describes a test implementation of a virtual union catalog for the University of California system. It describes some of the differences between the virtual catalog and the existing, centralized union catalog (MELVYL). The research described in the paper suggests enhancements that must be made if the virtual union catalog is to become a reasonable service alternative to the MELVYL® catalog. RESUMO Um catalogo de uniao Virtual e uma alternativa possivel para o banco de dados centralizado de recursos distribuidos encontrados em muitos sistemas de bibliotecas. Este catalogo nao seria mantido em um unico local, mas seria criada em tempo real, pesquisando cada campus local ou catalogo da biblioteca da filial atraves do protocolo Z39.50. Isto eliminaria a redundância de armazenamento registro, bem como a custa de carga e manter o acesso para o catalogo central. Este artigo descreve uma implementacao de teste de um catalogo uniao virtual para o University of California sistema. Ela descreve algumas das diferencas entre o catalogo virtual e o existente, catalogo uniao centralizado (MELVYL). A pesquisa descrita no artigo sugere melhorias que devem ser feitas se o catalogo virtual e a uniao para se tornar uma alternativa de servico razoavel para o catalogo ® MELVYL.

This paper focuses on anaphoric nominal expressions in order to distinguish the specific characteristics presented by expressions of metadiscursive nature in the process of textual references construction and referention progression. Such specific characteristics, related to self-reflexive peculiarity which defines the metadiscourse, differ from the comparasion between metadiscursive nominal anaphora and anaphoric nominal forms carrying informative function such as the definite and indefinite descriptions, nominalizations and associative anaphora.

Data from English show that VP ellipsis only occurs when, in Syntax, a verbal element is in a functional head that locally c-comands the ellipsis. However, if we accept this analysis, we cannot explain languages in which T and C have uninterpretable features that force the verb to move beforeSpell Out but do not allow VP ellipsis, as in Spanish, French and German. In this paper we defend that whatever determines parametric variation in VP ellipsis is related to whether or not the verbal element that occupies the licensing functional head locally c-commands the immediate projection that is interpretedas the sentence verbal predicate. If there is an intervening projection between the licensing node and the projection interpreted as the sentence verbal predicate, VP ellipsis is not possible. We will rely on parametric differences involving AspP, showing that languages will vary in allowing Asp to be an extension of vP, and hence permitting or not VP ellipsis.

This paper analyzes the relation between topic progression (maintenance of theme) and referetiation (process of the organization of referents) throughout a text. From a cognitive point of view we know that the user’s (producers and receivers) task is made more difficult if the investiment in shared knowledge and new knowledge is not managed with equilibrium. Therefore, we postulate that textual progression and its correlation with stable cognitive models is a complex activity of explicitation realized by means of repetition, cognitive pressupposition, lexical selection, syntactic decisions, and so forth. This study, then, is an attempt to define parameters taken from textual production that are valid for a set of differentiated discursive genres.

The central proposal of this paper is to present the checking process of the nominativ phrase –GA, in Japanese Language, in sentences with one or more than one nominative phrases. It will be verified, as well, the relationship between this nominative phrase and the focus of the sentence, observing when the focalization occurs. Finally, it will be analyzed the checking process of the nominative phrase in sentences containing small clauses.

Following an evolutionary approach, the recognition of the firm as a set of recombinable productive resources has been an important reference for understanding their growth and competitiveness. This approach takes into account the firms competitiveness as a result of its capability to adapt to a changing and uncertain environment. The recognition of such an environment is based, in turn, on the subjective image built in the mind of the entrepreneur regarding possibilities for and obstacles to the companys growth. Based on this image, or on their capacity to interpret the environment, entrepreneurs take decisions aimed at coordinating resources in such a way as to achieve their expectations. The aim of this paper is to discuss interpretation and coordination as intrinsically relational economic activities, in which intersubjectivity can both limit and potentialize the rationality of agents.O reconhecimento da firma como conjunto de recursos produtivos passíveis de serem recombinados tem sido, em uma perspectiva evolucionária, importante referência para o entendimento dos fenômenos de crescimento e competitividade empresarial. Nessa abordagem, a competitividade da firma é considerada resultado da sua capacidade de se adaptar a um ambiente incerto e cambiante. O reconhecimento desse ambiente baseia-se, por sua vez, na subjetividade da imagem que se forma na mente do empresário acerca das possibilidades e dos obstáculos de crescimento do negócio. É baseado nessa imagem, ou na sua capacidade de interpretação do ambiente, que o empresário toma decisões no sentido de coordenar os recursos capazes de concretizar as suas expectativas. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a interpretação e a coordenação como atividades econômicas intrinsecamente relacionais, nas quais a intersubjetividade atua como fator limitante e potencializador da racionalidade dos agentes.
