Archeologia subacquea nella laguna nord di Venezia. Nuovi dati per lo studio del popolamento in età antica.
No full textNel corso del biennio 2017-18 la Soprintendenza ABAP per il Comune di Venezia e Laguna ha disposto una serie di attività di tutela connesse alla realizzazione di un cavidotto subacqueo da parte di Terna S.p.A. L’opera si configura, a livello locale, come strategica sia dal punto di vista delle forniture energetiche in ambito lagunare e costiero sia dal punto di vista del basso impatto ambientale e paesaggistico. Le indagini subacquee, le analisi dei materiali e un primo inquadramento dei siti documentati consentono di aggiungere
un importante tassello al mosaico di conoscenze finora a disposizione della comunità scientifica e di un pubblico più ampio per la definizione del popolamento lagunare in età antica. Viene dunque presentata in anteprima una sintesi dei risultati delle indagini, per i quali è avviato un progetto di studio dedicato, comprensivo di
pubblicazione, finanziato dal committente Terna.In 2017-18, during the construction of an underwater power line in the northern lagoon of Venice, the local Superintendency directed a series of archaeological investigations along the route connected to the construction of an underwater conduit by Terna S.P.A.
At a local level it’s a strategic work in terms of both energy supplies and environmental impact. The underwater activities, the radiocarbon analysis and a first classification of the archaeological sites allow to increase our knowledge for the definition of the lagoon populating in
ancient times. A summary of the preliminary results is therefore presented, while the studies are still ongoing
Il sarcofago tardo-medievale con raffigurazione di una galea nella collezione archeologica di Palazzo van Axel a Venezia
No full textIl contributo presenta sinteticamente storia e soggetto iconografi co di un sarcofago presente all’ interno del cortile di Palazzo Van Axel a Venezia. Il reperto è tornato “sotto i riflettori” nel corso delle recenti indagini archeologiche condotte dalla Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del Veneto durante i lavori di manutenzione straordinaria dell’ edificio commissionati dall’attuale proprietà. La particolarità
consiste nella lettura classicistica, tradita da particolari tecnici e dall’ impostazione del soggetto, con cui viene presentata l’ immagine di una nave della prima età moderna.A sarcophagus being part of the antiquities collection of Venetian van Axel Palace was re-discovered during the last archaeological investigations directed on site. A Renaissance galley is represented, by low relief technique, on a sarcophagus side; the distinctive trait of the galley is to have some interesting classical details
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Due piroghe rinvenute nel fiume Po presso Monticelli d’Ongina (PC) e Spinadesco (CR)
No full textSi presenta la piroga monossile rinvenuta nel 2001 nell’ alveo del fiume Po presso Monticelli d’Ongina (PC), sottoposta a restauro conservativo nel 2006 presso il locale museo, situato nel castello. La piroga conserva solo una delle due estremità. Si tratta di uno scafo massiccio, tipologicamente simile ad altri esemplari rinvenuti nei fi umi dell’ area padana. Non si esclude di poterla relazionare con il galleggiante di un ponte, di un pontone o di un traghetto. Si dà inoltre una prima notizia di una piroga scoperta a Spinadesco (CR) e sfortunatamente andata distrutta nell’ estate del 2012.A dugout canoe was found in 2001 nearby Monticelli d’ Ongina (PC), from Po river. Restored between 2006 and 2008 in the Po Museum (Pallavicino-Casali Castle), the dugout, unfortunately uncomplete, is similar to others found in Po valley rivers. It is possible to think the dugout, dated to VII-VIII century A.D., was part of a floating bridge or nautical structures. Another dugout was found nearby Spinadesco (CR), from Po river, but was destroyed by fire during 2012
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
