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

Full text linkThe structures of the three rings of the stadium "Giuseppe Meazza" in Milan, built in different stages from 1926 until 1990, is a remarkable evidence of the use of reinforced and prestressed concrete in the last century. If, on the one hand, these structures represent an icon for the potential of this material, on the other hand they also highlight its vulnerability. Reinforced concrete structures of the first and second rings are more than 60 years old and suffer from the effects of corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The municipality of Milan, being the owner of the stadium, has set up a collaboration with Politecnico di Milano aimed at the assessment of the conservation condition of the structures and planning of remedial works necessary to preserve and, at the same time, ensure the correct use of this important infrastructure. This paper describes the investigations carried out on the structures of the first and second ring (dating to 1926-37 and 1955 respectively), which allowed the definition of the extension of carbonation of concrete and the state of corrosion of the reinforcement. The opportunity to monitor the progress of the reinforcement corrosion was also highlighted in order to plan repair works. For this purpose, a monitoring system based on probes for measuring the corrosion potential of the reinforcement and electrical resistivity of concrete is under development
