No full textIl testo affronta alcune questioni di carattere metodologico che riguardano l’insegnamento della progettazione architettonica, in un tempo particolarmente delicato per il sistema universitario italiano. Nelle sperimentazioni didattiche condotte da Antonello Russo alla Facoltà di Architettura di Reggio Calabria, la necessità di stabilire con chiarezza una metodologia mediante una ricerca sugli strumenti del progetto, strumenti teorici e compositivi, e di temi, sotto forma di coppie dialettiche, si accompagna alla ricerca di definizione dei passaggi cruciali su cui si fonda l’intero iter progettuale, dall’ideazione alla stesura finale, letto come un percorso circolare piuttosto che lineare, continuo e discontinuo al tempo stesso
Antimicrobial activity of a new intact skin antisepsis formulation
No full textDifferent antiseptic formulations have shown limitations when applied to disinfecting intact skin, notably short-term tolerability and/or efficacy The purpose of this study was optimizing a new antiseptic formulation specifically targeted at intact skin disinfection and evaluating its in vitro microbicidal activity and in vivo efficacy. Methods:The biocidal properties of the antiseptic solution containing 0.5% chloramine-T diluted in 50% isopropyl alcohol (Cloral; Eurospital SpA Trieste, Italy) were measured in vitro versus gram-positive-, gram-negative-, and acid-alcohol-resistant germs and fungi with standard suspension tests in the presence of fetal bovine serum. Virus-inhibiting activity was evaluated in vitro against human cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, poliovirus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus. Tests used different methods for the different biologic and in vitro replication capacity of these human viruses. Lastly, Cloral tolerability and skin colonization retardation efficacy after disinfection were studied in vivo. Results: The antiseptic under review showed fast and sustained antimicrobial activity. The efficacy of Cloral against clinically important bacterial and viral pathogens and fungi was highlighted under the experimental conditions described in this article. Finally, microbial regrowth lag and no side effects were documented in vivo after disinfection of 11 volunteers. Conclusions: A stable chloramine-T solution in isopropyl alcohol may be suggested for intact skin antisepsis
ELEMENTARE E COMPLESSO. La Città per isole. Grammatiche insediative per la città contemporanea
No full textStudiando il lavoro sulle “composizioni alla scala della città” che Antonello Russo ci propone attraverso le elaborazioni dei suoi studenti, appare subito evidente un pensiero sulla forma urbana.
Si manifesta l’idea di costruire gli isolati residenziali come singole architetture, nuclei urbani concepiti come un’unica grande casa in cui gli spazi liberi fra gli edifici diventano luoghi del progetto. È in questi spazi che la città rivela il suo intento rappresentativo, che si rende riconoscibile, che diventa teatro della vita degli uomini. Il libro di Antonello Russo è testimone di un’idea di città in cui sono contenute le aspirazioni di una moderna cultura dell’abitare, un’idea di spazio dove poter ritrovare una nuova dimensione “sociale”.Studying the work on the "compositions at the scale of the city" that Antonello Russo proposes to us through the elaborations of his students, a thought on the urban form immediately becomes evident.
It manifests the idea of building residential blocks as individual architectures, urban nuclei conceived as a single large house in which the free spaces between the buildings become places of the project. It is in these spaces that the city reveals its representative intent, which becomes recognizable, which becomes the theater of human life. The book by Antonello Russo bears witness to an idea of a city in which are contained the aspirations of a modern culture of living, an idea of space where you can find a new "social" dimension
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
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
