    Volume curato da Barbara Messina e Maria Ines Pascariello; il titolo, con i verbi che lo compongono, evoca le motivazioni poste alla base dell’iniziativa che, in forma di workshop, ho avviato nell’anno accademico 2013-2014, con la collaborazione di alcuni colleghi del settore, e che nel corso degli anni è stata riproposta, con esiti anche pubblicati, come esemplifica il volume in presentazione

    Le pitture parietali antiche in Campania: dall’immagine alla modellazione digitale/ The ancient Wall peintings in Campania:from image to digital modeling

    The paper of the research Unit of Salerno, which outlines the conducted work's development under the project PRIN 2010-11 "Architectural Perspective: digital preservation, content access and analytics", focuses on the ancient wall paintings of Campania, with the intent to identify appropriate strategies for prevention and improvement of the rich investigated heritage. Starting from the graphical analysis of the ante litteram virtual architectures, drawn on the wall surfaces, we intend to illustrate the proposed methodology. In particular, through the use of diversified techniques, in terms of tools and software for image processing, we propose to pursue an interdisciplinary research, designed to innovation by supporting of emerging technologies (video stereoscopic restitution, implementation of interactive and mobile applications, virtual anastylosis)

    Elaborazioni di modelli digitali per una lettura diacronica delle trasformazioni territoriali in Irpinia

    The balance between the environment and man is frequently broken by the occurrence of disastrous natural events that, sometimes in a reduced period of time, erase place's identity. It then becomes important to identify a system of territorial analysis that can offer, through specific graphical surveys, a reliable documentation about its evolution in the space and in the time. In light of these considerations, with developing a GIS, the paper retraces the transformations of the Irpinia, area affected by the earthquake of 1980. So we propose graphic simulations that permit to classify, represent and interpret the landscape based on diachronic and spatial relationships existing between anthropogenic, natural and environmental factors

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    A GIS approach to monitor territorial transformations: digital assessment of the cycle paths in Paestum.

    Purpose: The study intends to develop a digital procedure to ‘automatically’ create cycle paths compatible with regional requirements Method: To achieve this goal a GIS will be used as a graphic tool to identify and assess the routes Result: The results validate the proposed digital approach, highlighting the substantial overlapping between the design route and the automatically generated route Discussion & Conclusion: This paper intends to provide a simple, consultable tool that can efficiently and easily produce the information required to support the design options specifically analysed and integrated in the syste

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
