BIOMONITORIG ACTIVITIES OF “COMPRENSORIO DI PACE DEL MELA”.ANALYSES OF AIR QUALITY DATA
No full textThe “Assessorato Territorio e Ambiente” of the Regional Sicilian Government and the “Ingegneria e Tecnologie Agro Forestali” (ITAF) Department, Palermo University, have been involved in a study (D.R.S. N° 473) concerning the occurrence of environmental pollution by heavy metals in the "Comprensorio territoriale di Pace del Mela".
The involved local administrations (“comuni”) in the area of interest are: Condrò, Gualtieri Sicaminò, Milazzo, Pace del
Mela, S.Filippo del Mela, Santa Lucia del Mela, San Pier Niceto. Naturalistic aspects and landscape relevance of the “Pace del Mela” area is supported by the existence of three Natural Reserves, twelve Sites of Community Interest (S.I.C.) and a Zone with Special Protection (Z.P.S.). Finally, the proximity of the Etna National Park should be also appropriately considered.
The study, started on 8th June 2005, has been concluded one year later after having evaluated all the required polluting elements in selected places of the given land both during the wet and dry seasons.
The primary target of this biomonitoring study is the knowledge of the possible environmental pollution by heavy metals in the “Comprensorio del Mela”, mainly through the use of biomonitors of “air quality”.
The transport of heavy metals to the studied territory can be attributed to a local winds, to atmospheric circulation and to the interaction of these aspects with the morphology of the territory.
In our study, the main network of grid sites has been appropriately sub-divided as
follows:
GIS (Geographical Information System) technologies have been used for data managing, beginning from the data of each simple sites a general georeferencing database has been obtained which contains information of the air pollution in the studied areas.
This database has been imported in a GIS software, in order to produce a GIS
In order to know the environmental alteration of the studied area and to interpret the spatial distribution of each chemical element, Natural/Alteration maps and isoconcentration maps have been created.
Project of the air pollution in the territory of “Comprensorio del Mela”.
For the interpretation of the data, two-dimensional zone maps were drawn using the GIS program ArcView 8.3 (ESRI- Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.-), that with a specific extension (3D ANALYST) which transforms discrete data
into a continuous
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
INDAGINI CHEMIOTASSONOMICHE PRELIMINARI SU ROCCELLA DC. SP. PL. E RAMALINA FARINACEA (L.) ACH. MEDIANTE IDENTIFICAZIONE DELLE SOSTANZE LICHENICHE.
No full textIn questo studio, sono stati presi in considerazione specie plurime appartenenti al genere Roccella DC. e la specie Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach., sui quali sono state svolte indagini chemiotassonomiche mediante l’identificazione di sostanze licheniche.
Il presente lavoro, utilizza tre metodologie chimiche, per la ricerca di metabolici secondari presenti. Negli ultimi trent’anni sono stati effettuati in molte parti del mondo studi sulle sostanze licheniche, Culberson negli Usa, Huneck in Germania, Yoshimura in Giappone, Elix in Australia. In Italia questo tipo di ricerca è stata portata avanti
In questo contesto si colloca lo studio qui proposto, avendo come fine il riconoscimento dei metaboliti secondari, utili allo scopo di discriminare la presenza di possibili chemiotipi diversi, nell’ambito della specie Roccella phycopsis (Ach.) Ach., Roccella fuciformis (L.) DC. e Roccella tuberculata Vain., Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach
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
