L’integrazione dei sistemi di Building Information Modeling nei processi di conoscenza del Patrimonio Culturale. Premesse teoriche, criteri metodologici e introduzione del Level of Reliability
Full text linkThis research analyzes the systems of Building Information Modeling from the point of view of the disciplinary field of Drawing; after outlining the state of the art and the theoretical foundations underlying the BIM systems, the research investigates the consequences of their integration into the processes of survey, communication and management of the existing architectural heritage. Notwithstanding the potential of Historical-BIM systems, some difficulties remain and they are linked to the rigidity of modeling with digital objects that contrast with the uniqueness of the built environment, especially if of cultural interest.
Through the application on the case study of a work by Michelucci, the Institute of Mineralogy and Geology in Rome, the research focuses on defining strategies and methodologies that are valid and consistent for the implementation of BIM processes in consolidated methodologies of integrated survey. In the complex transition from a numerical model of reality to a geometric
and semantic-aware one, the research underscores the need to measure and explicit the reliability level of critical analysis' processes, which are inevitably subjective. In order to arrive at a synthetic numerical evaluation that can represent the level of overall coherence of the definition process of a digital object, the Level of Reliability is calculated as the result of an average of several factors with varying influence. Given the need to ensure transparency and intellectual rigor in every activity on Cultural Heritage, the intuition is to introduce and codify in BIM environment a new parameter: the Level of Reliability of the geometric translation process and of the semantic structuring of digital objects

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

Full text linkL’infrastruttura rientra tra quelle dichiarate dal D.L. n. 133/2014 (Decreto Sblocca Italia) strategica, essenziale, indifferibile ed urgente. Infratrasporti.To Srl (di seguito InfraTo) in fase di progettazione definitiva, in ottemperanza al Codice degli Appalti, ha avviato la verifica preventiva dell’interesse archeolo- gico, al fine di fornire indicazioni affidabili per ridurre il grado di incertezza relativamente alla sussistenza di eventuali beni o depositi archeologici interrati e nel definire il livello di rischio circa la possibilità di effettuare ritrovamenti archeologici nel corso dei lavori in oggetto. Parallelamente alle indagini ar- cheologiche sono state effettuate ricerche storiche finalizzate a identificare l’assetto territoriale dell’area interessata dal progetto prima della moderna in- dustrializzazione. Il contributo è volto a mettere in luce le potenzialità e le cri- ticità degli obblighi normativi, in relazione alla necessità di realizzare un’opera infrastrutturale rilevante, con tempi definiti e costi certi.
The infrastructure is one of the Italian public works, included in the D.L 133/2014 (Decreto Sblocca Italia) and declared as a strategic, non-postponable and urgent work. Infratrasporti.To Srl (later InfraTo), in conformity with the so-called Codice degli appalti law, engaged a firm for the archaeological risk assess- ment in order to to provide reliable information to reduce the degree of uncertain- ty regarding the existence of any underground archaeological assets. Along with the archaeological research, written reports and maps analysed the area interested by the project before the modern industrial era. Specific instructions were made concerning the reduction of the risk for the archaeological cultural heritage, recom- mending methods appropriate to the found risk indices, following Soprintendenza Archeologica Belle Arti e Paesaggio’s rules. The study explores the potential and challenges of the statutory obligations with regards to the necessity of the construc- tion of an important infrastructure within time limits and known costs
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
