This thesis explores the combined subjects of keep alive forwarding, denial of service attacks and decentralized congestion control. In a society where the technical requirements on vehicles constantly escalate; inter-vehicle communication has risen as a potential springboard for new technologies. The ETSI ITS-G5 standard is a vehicular ad-hoc network standard that offers manufacturers the possibility to include a feature called keep alive forwarding. This feature lets the nodes forward messages on a pre-defined time interval even if the original broadcaster is no longer present. As this feature might provide exploits for potential people with malicious intent it has been evaluated how resilient the standard might be in such a situation. Also included in this thesis is the decentralized congestion control, a feature required by the standard. To evaluate these features a series of simulations has been performed where vehicles in a highway scenario have been exposed to a denial of service attack where the attacker uses the keep-alive forwarding as an exploit. The findings are that decentralized congestion control does mitigate some of the direct consequences of such an attack. Although it does not eliminate these entirely and new problems are introduced. Finally, alternative methods to perform keep alive forwarding are suggested to enhance this feature.

A March 1866 issue of The Lancet observes, "If a newspaper were in want of a startling story with which to enliven a dull copy in the 'off season,' it could not do better than select one with the heading "'Buried Alive'"("Premature Interment" 295). Stories of being buried alive gave readers of all backgrounds a thrill. However, the stories frustrated the medical and scientific communities who were quick to dismiss the threat of live burial as a possibility in a modern world. Drawing on the literary history of "buried alive" stories and medical knowledge surrounding death signs and catalepsy, this thesis explores how two of L.T. Meade's stories from her Stories from the Diary of a Doctor series engages with the "buried alive" literary tradition in favor of nineteenth-century debate for death certification reform. Through applying common tropes found within the "buried alive" literary tradition, Meade's Diary of a Doctor stories address the most pressing concerns surrounding death certification reform in a way that engage contemporary readers' interest while emphasizing the need for legislative change.

O conhecimento da dinâmica de crescimento das raízes da cana-de-açúcar, bem como da arquitetura de seu sistema radicular, permite melhor compreensão das relações entre a planta e o seu ambiente de produção, possibilitando o manejo a partir de práticas agrícolas mais eficientes e sustentáveis que resultem em aumento de produtividade e longevidade da cultura. O presente estudo teve por objetivo desenvolver um método para determinação da distribuição e do desenvolvimento de raízes metabolicamente ativas de cana-de-açúcar no solo, por meio da técnica da diluição do isótopo 15N, associado aos métodos de amostragem com monólito e sonda amostradora de raízes. O experimento foi realizado em área comercial de cana-de-açúcar na região canavieira de Piracicaba, Estado de São Paulo, em LATOSSOLO VERMELHO distrófico arenoso, com uma segunda rebrota do cultivar RB85 5156. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos subdivididos no tempo, com as amostragens de raízes realizadas a cada 50 a 60 dias de janeiro a junho de 2004. A uréia foi o veículo de fornecimento do marcador isotópico 15N, por meio de solução aplicada às folhas das plantas. Após colheita da parte aérea, realizada 96 horas após a aplicação da solução de uréia, foram abertas trincheiras, transversalmente à linha da cultura, com dimensões de 1 m de comprimento e 1,4 m de largura. Amostras foram colhidas por meio de monólito nas profundidades de 0 a 20, 20 a 40, 40 a 60 e 60 a 80 cm, na projeção da linha da cultura e lateralmente nas distâncias de 14 a 42 cm e de 42 a 70 cm da linha da cultura. Outras amostras foram colhidas com sonda amostradora de raízes, paralelamente à parede interna das trincheiras, a 10 cm de distância do local onde foram retirados os monólitos, nas mesmas profundidades e nas distâncias de 28 e 56 cm da linha. Em cada profundidade de amostragem, e na projeção da linha da cultura, foram separadas amostras de raízes visualmente ativas. Estas amostras forma consideradas padrão para a determinação por diluição isotópica de raízes com metabolismo ativo. As determinações do teor de N e de abundância de 15N em amostras de planta e de solo foram realizadas em um espectrômetro de massas modelo ANCA-SL da Eurapa Scientific Ltda. Os resultados mostraram que o método da diluição isotópica com 15N possibilitou avaliar a massa de raízes com metabolismo ativo e sua distribuição no solo, e o método de amostragem de raízes com a sonda foi viável em comparação com a amostragem do monólito, nas seguintes condições: na quantificação de raízes nas profundidades de 0 a 20, 20 a 40 e 60 a 80 cm do perfil do solo para raízes totais, e nos 20 cm superficiais do solo, profundidade na qual a massa de raízes foi maior, para raízes metabolicamente ativas. / Knowledge about of sugarcane root growth dynamic, as well as the root system architecture of sugarcane crop allows understanding better the relationships between the plant and its environment. This knowledge is important to define the crop management with most efficiency and using sustainable practices, to increasing both sugarcane crop yield and longevity. The aim of this study was to evaluate a method in order to determine sugarcane roots with active metabolism and its distribution and growth in the soil profile, by using isotopic dilution technique with 15N associated with sampling by monolite and probe. The experiment was conducted in the sugarcane field, on the region of Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, Brazil, by using the second rattoon of the variety RB 85 5156, grown in a Rhodic Hapludox. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four replications. The split plot was considered in relation to the time. The 15N tracer was applied in the plants as urea solution. The above ground part of sugarcane plants were harvested 96 hours after urea solution applications, and trenches with one meter of length and 1.4 meter width were opened transversely to sugarcane rows. Samples were taken by monolite in 0-20, 20-40, 40-60 and 60-80 cm of depth in the soil profile in the row projection and horizontally in the distances of 14 to 42 and 42 to 70 cm from the cane row. Samples were taken by probe in a parallel plan with the internal trench wall at 10 cm of distance from the spot where monolites were collected, in the same depths and at 28 and 56 cm from the row. Roots visually assumed as metabolisms active were separated to each sampling depth and to row lateral projection and were considered standards to determine active roots. Determinations of N contents and 15N abundance in both plant and soil were carried on a mass spectrometer model ANCA-SL (Europa Scientific Ltda.). The results showed the isotopic dilution method with 15N allowed the evaluation of active roots mass and the root distribution in the soil. The root sampling method with probe was adequate comparing with root sampling by monolite in trench to quantify roots, in the following conditions: in the soil depths of 0 to 20, 20 to 40 and 60 to 80 cm to total roots; and in the first 20 cm of depth, where the root mass was higher to active roots.

According to Josef Campbell, duality is one of the characteristics of occidental culture. For Ivan Bystrina, duality is one of the four constant freatures of human cultures. Could we therefore say that the duality of "body and mind" forms part of the condition and immanence of human beings? In which way does this affect the communicative processes of the body as a primary medium and how does it unfold in other media? The hypothesis put forward here holds that the duality established between body and mind does not act in a dual way in its archaic contexts but unfolds in multiple fragmentations in the course of the civilization process until reaching the conception of a Body-Corpse which appears as completely fragmented in current mediatic communication processes. Starting from this idea, the nature of the manifestations of the body as cultural text was investigated in its archaic contexts, as well as over the course of the civilization process with the aim of identifying possible expressions of this duality and understanding its proprioceptive and communicative determinants. The considerations mainly build upon the ideas of the "Body-Alive", the "Body-Corpse" and "BodyThinking", based on historical anthropology and cultural sociology as suggested by Kamper. The transversality of Cultural Studies was employed with reference to the theories of André Leroi-Gourhan, Edgar Morin, Aby Warburg, Joseph Campbell, Hans Belting, Ivan Bystrina, Harry Pross, Boris Cyrulnik, Dietmar Kamper and Norval Baitello, among others. Considering the scenarios analysed here, there was no dual fragmentation observed in the specific archaic contexts featuring in this paper, where the body appeared to be integrated with its environments in ondulating, communicative processes. From the moment of the bipedal human condition, fragmentation is present in expressions both mythic and civilized, as well as in mediatic environments that represent a mutilated Body-Corpse / A presente pesquisa trata de concepções corporais, da atual cultura civilizada ocidental e ocidentalizada humana, apresentadas por Dietmar Kamper. Segundo Josef Campbell, a dualidade é uma característica da cultura ocidental. Para Ivan Bystrina, a dualidade é uma das quatro linhas constantes das culturas humanas. Poderíamos então dizer que a dualidade de “corpo e mente” faz parte da condição e imanência do humano? De que modo isto afeta os processos comunicativos do corpo enquanto mídia primária e se desdobra em outras mídias? A hipótese levantada foi a de que a dualidade, estabelecida entre mente e o corpo, não atua de forma dual em seus contextos arcaicos, mas se desdobra em múltiplas fragmentações no contexto civilizatório até chegar à concepção de um corpo morto completamente dilacerado nos atuais processos comunicativos midiáticos. Buscou-se assim investigar a natureza das manifestações do corpo, enquanto texto da cultura, em seus contextos arcaicos e civilizatórios, a fim de notar possíveis expressões desta dualidade e compreender suas determinantes proprioceptivas e comunicativas. As reflexões se ampararam essencialmente nas ideias do “Corpo Vivo”, “Corpo Morto” e o “PensarCorpo” a partir da antropologia histórica e sociologia cultural propostas por Kamper. Utilizou-se das Ciências da Cultura em suas transversalidades nas teorias de André Leroi-Gourhan, Edgar Morin, Aby Warburg, Joseph Campbell, Hans Belting, Ivan Bystrina, Harry Pross, Boris Cyrulnik, Dietmar Kamper e Norval Baitello, entre outros. Diante dos cenários analisados, a dual fragmentação não se mostrou presente nos ambientes arcaicos abordados, em que o corpo se fez integrado com os meios em vínculos ondulatórios comunicativos. A partir da condição bípede humana, a fragmentação se mostrou presente em expressões míticas, civilizatórias, assim como nos atuais ambientes midiáticos que atualizam um corpo morto dilacerado

The ubiquity of the ‘Nazi’ – the fictional Doppelgänger of the historical Nazi – in the various media of popular culture is both disturbing and fascinating. There is an important relationship between the ‘Nazi’ and its audience; related to but separate from the historical Nazi, the creation and reception of the ‘Nazi’ both enables and exemplifies the continual processing of the past. Using a purpose-built framework (concept and terminology) for the study of the ‘Nazi’ as a phenomenon in and of itself, in combination with Freud’s concept of the uncanny, this thesis examines the dynamics of the relationship between the ‘Nazi’ and its audience in four examples: television episodes “Deaths-Head Revisited,” “He’s Alive” (The Twilight Zone), and “Patterns of Force” (Star Trek); and Serdar Somuncu’s performances/readings of Mein Kampf. The temporal and geographical context of the episodes (1960s America) seem far removed from Somuncu’s performances (1990s/2000s Germany), but analysing the production and effects of the uncanny moments generated in each case reveals a provocative raison d’être that spans across the geographical and temporal divide. / Graduate / 0311 / 0900

On three days in March each year, the sleepy little town of Sweetwater, Texas transforms into the rattlesnake capital of the world. Snake hunters and curious tourists converge on the town of 12,000 for the Annual Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup. On the outside of the Nolan County Coliseum, the smell of funnel cakes and hot-dogs fills the air as vendors sell snacks and souvenirs. However the real action is inside where snakes collected from all over the state lay in piles by the thousands, waiting to be sexed, milked and ultimately killed. Through interviews and observational footage, "Snakes Alive!" explores the Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup, those that participate in the event, and the elements that make it an unabashed West Texas tradition.

A presente tese buscou demonstrar os processos de articulação e efetivação da interatividade discursiva na comunicação radiofônica. Como ponto de referência, o recorte do corpus concentrou-se na constituição das estratégias discursivas especialmente empregadas pelos participantes de interlocuções de viva-voz em programas sobre diferentes situações do cotidiano da vida urbana. O raciocínio teórico foi apoiado nas noções de dialogismo, enunciado concreto e interação verbal, segundo o pensador russo Mikhail Bakhtin, bem como a compreensão de diferentes aspectos discursivos e enunciativos apresentados nas emissões dos programas exemplares analisados. O rádio foi considerado como mídia sonora na qual se encontram integrados vários sistemas de signos (musical, verbal e sonoro) articulados de modo indissociável para sua efetiva realização discursiva Esta característica faz parte da especificidade desta forma de comunicação social. A análise revelou que as estratégias discursivas, isto é, a concomitância da ordem de valores e do espaço semiótico gerador de sentidos da vida privada e social, correspondem aos princípios ideológicos norteadores do projeto editorial da emissora e são coerentes com esta proposta. A interatividade, portanto, sofre coerções que são de ordem discursiva e ideológica e, a despeito de certa compreensão corrente acerca desse processo, não se realiza como troca equânime de mensagens entre os participantes da comunicação (locutor- ouvintes), colocados em condição de igualdade graças ao acesso a determinados aparatos tecnológicos. A interatividade no rádio, portanto, passa a ser compreendida como uma das características do discurso radiofônico. Ela também se configura como lugar em que os enunciados da esfera privada/individual e os da esfera pública/coletiva surgem entrelaçados. Dessa forma, constitui-se como possibilidade essencial para comunicar outras instâncias de vivência da vida social cotidiana tal como ela é: concomitância e integração destas duas esferas. / This thesis sought to demonstrate the processes and operationalizing interactivity discourse on the radio communication. As a reference the cut-off of the corpus focused on setting up the discursive strategies employed by the participants of interlocutions of the host programmes in different situations of daily routine in urban life. The theoretical reasoning was supported on dialogism, as set out concrete and verbal interaction, in accordance with the Russian thinker Mikhail Bakhtin and an understanding of different discursive and enunciative aspects presented in emissions of the analysed program copies. The radio was regarded as media sound containing multiple integrated systems of different musical, oral and audible, articulated inseparably for its effective discursive implementation.This feature is part of the specificity of this social type of communication. The analysis showed that strategies discursive, i.e. the concomitance of the order of values and semiotic space generator of the senses of private and social lives correspond to the ideological principle guiding project editorial and are consistent with this proposal. Interactivity therefore suffers from coercions that are and ideological discourse and, despite of certain present understanding about the process, is not carried through as equal exchange messages between the participants of the communication (locutor - listeners), they are put on the condition of equal access thanks to certain devices of the technology. Radio interactivity, therefore, is understood as one of the characteristics of the major speech. It also represents the place where the listed privacy / individual and collective public sphere arise interlacedly. This way is as essential possibility to communicate other instances of the viability of everyday social life as it is: concurrency and integration of these two spheres. radio communication; interactivity on the radio; alive dialogue, radio discourse;; major radialism and everyday life.
