  • TESE De Doutoramento
    THE SCIENTIFIC PERSONALITY OF ANTÓNIO GIÃO ABSTRACT This Dissertation aims to be the first biography of a scientist fallen into oblivion, and to explain how he was forgotten. It starts by the postulation of pragmatics of scientific discourse as a methodology, and reviews pertinent literature on scientific biographies. His career starts as an independent young student, writing to scholars and attending scientific meetings unconcerned with his masters. Strasbourg and Bergen are instances of his early maturity, linked in the former with early papers in French and in German, some of them as reports of scientific events; in the latter, in the conception of mathematical methods published as three books in Paris. Here, the first major conflict will take place, enacting his isolation. A fruit of his loneliness will be an inconsequent travel along Phenomenological Physics. War and”exile” in his native village lead him swiftly towards Fundamental Physics, expressed in his return to Paris and through publication in Portuguese journals. A lifeline suddenly interrupted in 1951, when the rupture with his mentor, Louis de Broglie, occurred. Gião‟s start-over in Meteorology begins in 1952 through an invention; the absence of success of this device merges unnoticed among his large scientific production. These are the Italy years, and Piccardi‟s experiment appears as a new subject in his research. Return to Portugal in 1960 is the moment of eclectic intervention: – he teaches two chairs in the Faculty of Sciences; 5 – there, however, conflicts take place, towards the students and colleagues; – he heads the”Centro de Cálculo Científico” (Scientific Calculus Center) since 1963, thus being – both the Centre and the Director – the pioneers of Informatics in Portugal; – the journal of his Centro coincides from there onwards with his scientific profile.

  • Asas Que Naufragam: Narrativa De Viagens Aéreas Em Portugal Na Obra De Sarmento De Beires
    literatura culta e popular em portugal e no brasil – homenagem a arnaldo saraiva Asas que naufragam: narrativa de viagens aéreas em Portugal na obra de Sarmento de Beires Isabel Morujão Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto/CITCEM [email protected]. [email protected]. «O resto é só terra e céu». Fernando Pessoa Novas modalidades para a literatura de viagens Um dos traços que melhor definem a natureza dos textos de viagens é o seu hibri- dismo, que lhes determina o lugar de fronteira em que normalmente se situam. Nesse particular, Asas que naufragam, de Sarmento de Beires, evidencia essa essência em várias dimensões, a começar desde logo pela materialidade do próprio livro editado, que contém desdobráveis com representações ortodrómicas, boletins de voo, fotografias várias, rela- tórios, etc., a par do texto narrativo propriamente dito, definido pelo narrador umas vezes como «impressões»2, outras como «diário» ou «jornal desordenado»3, «livro de confis- sões»4 e até «laudas»5. Mas é como narrativa de viagem que o autor indiscutivelmente 1 Escrito e editado para homenagear Arnaldo Saraiva no ano da sua jubilação, este texto é também dedicado, naturalmente, a Carlos Manuel, Nuno Maria e Rodrigo Maria Sarmento de Beires. 2 BEIRES, 1927: 125. Citaremos sempre por esta 1.ª edição. 3 BEIRES, 1927: 24 e 101 e, ainda, 102. 4 BEIRES, 1927: 270: «Este livro é um livro de confissões» e BEIRES: 95: «Há 2 meses que releguei para o fundo da gaveta estas laudas, onde palpita tanta angústia, tanta ansiedade, tanta esperança». 5 A heterogeneidade textual desta narrativa resultará mais explícita, se se atentar que ela inclui também, já quase no final, uma espécie de Cartilha das Boas Comissões de Recepção, que propõe uma série de aspectos a ter em conta pelas populações 392 V – ensaÍsmo e crÍtica classifica a sua obra, ao encerrar estrategicamente o texto com essa designação: «Assim termina a narrativa da viagem do Argos que, ao fim de dezasseis mil cento e sessenta e cinco quilómetros de voo, se perdeu no mar, por 2° 41’ de latitude N.

  • Génese Da Força Aérea Portuguesa. Influência Do Aero Club De Portugal E Da Revista Do Ar
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE LETRAS GÉNESE DA FORÇA AÉREA PORTUGUESA. INFLUÊNCIA DO AERO CLUB DE PORTUGAL E DA REVISTA DO AR FERNANDO DA ROCHA RIBEIRO Tese orientada pelo Prof. Doutor António Ventura e coorientada pelo Prof. Doutor Luís Fraga, especialmente elaborada para a obtenção do grau de Mestre em HISTÓRIA MILITAR. 2016 2 RESUMO A Força Aérea Portuguesa nasceu após um processo político e militar muito complexo, com muitos apoiantes e muitos antagonistas. O seu nascimento foi a resultante da evolução da aviação em Portugal, das experiências acumuladas dos intrépidos aviadores portugueses durante os raides aéreos dos anos 20 e 30 do século passado, do conhecimento operacional e do reconhecimento da importância do Poder Aéreo, principalmente após a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Em todo este processo, desde os finais de 1909, a evolução da Aviação em Portugal foi acompanhada pelo Aero Club de Portugal. Esta Instituição aglutinou os entusiastas da “Causa do Ar”, civis e militares, constituindo-se uma entidade onde existia um vasto conhecimento técnico sobre Aeronáutica e onde se destacaram vários “Homens” com capacidade para impulsionar, como grupo de pressão, a criação do terceiro ramo das Forças Armadas Portuguesas em 1952, de que se destacou o então Coronel Humberto Delgado. De uma forma concertada, a “Revista do Ar” teve um papel determinante na divulgação dos ideais da “Causa do Ar”. Palavras-chave: Força Aérea Portuguesa, Aero Club de Portugal, Humberto Delgado ABSTRACT The Portuguese Air Force was born after a very complex political and military process, with many supporters and many antagonists. Its creation was the result of the evolution of aviation in Portugal, the accumulated experiences of the intrepid Portuguese airmen during the air raids of the 20s and 30s of last century, the operational knowledge and the recognition of the importance of air power, particularly after World War II.

The Sporting Handbook aims to bring together in one publication most of the information necessary for the administration of records and other BBAC awards. In addition to the information presented here, the latest versions of the FAI/CIA Sporting Code (General Section and Section 1: Aerostats) and the list of World Records should be consulted.
