No full textThe dataset contains signalment, clinical and diagnostic data of a population of 33 dogs and cats tested for the presence of feline panleukopenia virus and canine parvovirus DNA at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Department of Veterinary Medical Science of the University of Bologna
Dataset of cats with calicivirus infection
No full textThe dataset contains signalament data, clinical signs and diagnostic data of a litter composed by a female adult cat and four 20-days old kitten, presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Department of Veterinary Medical Science of the University of Bologna, in which an infection of feline calicivirus is reported
Monitoring large cloud-based systems
No full textLarge scale cloud-based services are built upon a multitude of hardware and software resources, disseminated
in one or multiple data centers. Controlling and managing these resources requires the integration of several
pieces of software that may yield a representative view of the data center status. Today’s both closed and
open-source monitoring solutions fail in different ways, including the lack of scalability, scarce representativity
of global state conditions, inability in guaranteeing persistence in service delivery, and the impossibility of
monitoring multi-tenant applications. In this paper, we present a novel monitoring architecture that addresses
the aforementioned issues. It integrates a hierarchical scheme to monitor the resources in a cluster with a
distributed hash table (DHT) to broadcast system state information among different monitors. This architecture
strives to obtain high scalability, effectiveness and resilience, as well as the possibility of monitoring
services spanning across different clusters or even different data centers of the cloud provider. We evaluate the
scalability of the proposed architecture through a bottleneck analysis achieved by experimental results
Genetic diversity and molecular epidemiology of Anaplasma
No full textAnaplasma are obligate intracellular bacteria of cells of haematopoietic origin and are aetiological agents of tick-borne diseases of both veterinary and medical interest common in both tropical and temperate regions. The recent disclosure of their zoonotic potential has greatly increased interest in the study of these bacteria, leading to the recent reorganisation of Rickettsia taxonomy and to the possible discovery of new species belonging to the genus Anaplasma. This review is particularly focused on the common and unique characteristics of Anaplasma marginale and Anaplasma phagocytophilum, with an emphasis on genetic diversity and evolution, and the main distinguishing features of the diseases caused by the different Anaplasma spp. are described as well
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
Dataset of dog and cat population tested for Protoparvovirus carnivoran 1, Canine mastadenovirus and Circovirus canine nucleic acids
No full textThe dataset contains signalment data, vaccination and clinical status, and diagnostic data of a population of 89 companion animals (56 dogs and 33 cats) from Romania collected in 2019-2021 tested for the presence of DNA viruses (Protoparvovirus carnivoran 1, Canine mastadenovirus and Circovirus canine) at the Department of Veterinary Medical Science of the University of Bologna
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
