    L’occasione di ricerca progettuale è data dall’incontro fra l’innovazione del vetro in architettura e in arte, applicato al recupero degli involucri post-industriali. Nasce così la collaborazione fra LABA&A – “Laboratorio Arte & Architettura” (Politecnico di Torino e Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti, Torino) e l’azienda tedesca DERIX GLASSTUDIOS. Dalla tradizione delle vetrate ecclesiali si è sviluppato un repertorio di tecniche e materiali con cui intervenire - pittura, aerografo, serigrafia, acquaforte, sabbiatura, leading, casting / fusione - per elementi a superficie piana che attraverso la laminazione sono disponibili per l’inserimento in pannelli composti, nelle diverse tipologie del vetro stratificato, del double grazing e del vetro generatore di energia. La diversificazione dell’effetto visivo ed anche la tattilità del materiale vetrario in rilievo, aprono a nuove potenzialità nel progetto, sia attraverso il disegno manuale che digitale. In parallelo, la produzione per elemento singolo o per piccola serie personalizzata permettono di recuperare una dimensione artigianale, mettono al centro il “saper fare” che traduce in realtà la visione. In Italia e nei paesi mediterranei questo la produzione del vetro d’arte è limitata, in genere, alle tecniche vetrarie a piombo e fusione; non rilevante è la sperimentazione di altre tecniche, di un nuovo linguaggio e sensibilità alla materia vetraria. The research project is given at the meeting between the innovation of glass in architecture and art, applied to the recovery of post-industrial enclosures. Hence the venture between LABA & A - "Art & Architecture Laboratory" (Turin Polytechnic and the Academy of Fine Arts, Turin) and the German company Derix GLASSTUDIOS. From the tradition of stained glass church has developed a repertoire of techniques and materials - paint, airbrush, silkscreen, etching, sandblasting, leading, casting / fusion - with glazed elements for a flat surface by rolling are available for inclusion in composite panels , in the various types of laminated glass, the double grazing and glass energy generator. The diversification of the visual and the tactile quality of the relief glass, open up new potential in the project, either through the manual and digital drawing. In parallel, production for single item or small series allow you to retrieve a custom size craft, to depict "savoir faire" that translates the vision into reality. In Italy and in Mediterranean countries that the production of art glass is limited, in general, to lead and fusion glass techniques, it is not relevant to the testing of other techniques, new languages and sensitivity to the material glass

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    We 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
