No full textFrom Observed Action Identity to Social Affordances
Full text linkOthers' observed actions cause continuously changing retinal images, making it challenging to build neural representations of action identity. The monkey anterior intraparietal area (AIP) and its putative human homologue (phAIP) host neurons selective for observed manipulative actions (OMAs). The neuronal activity of both AIP and phAIP allows a stable readout of OMA identity across visual formats, but human neurons exhibit greater invariance and generalize from observed actions to action verbs. These properties stem from the convergence in AIP of superior temporal signals concerning: (i) observed body movements; and (ii) the changes in the body-object relationship. We propose that evolutionarily preserved mechanisms underlie the specification of observed-actions identity and the selection of motor responses afforded by them, thereby promoting social behavior
The triassic evaporites of Sassalbo and secchia valley (Tuscan-Emilian Apennines): geometric and kinematic data
No full textThe trending of Triassic evaporites cropping out at Sassalbo (Tuscany) and in Secchia Valley (Emilia Romagna) represents one of the most important trans-Apennines lineaments to gain informations about the structural evolution of the apenninic chain from the collisional to the more recent extensional tectonic phases.
Two groups of outcrops have been distinguished: 1) Sassalbo - Cerreto Pass group; 2) Secchia Valley group.
Taking into account abundant published data and new field observations some considerations on their tectonic evolution and emplacement are proposed.
These deposits, with their associated sedimentary sequence, belong to the internal Tuscan realm. In spite to the common origin and provenance, at a certain time of the geological history (Tertiary) from diapiric structure evolved into flattened salt tongue and finally they have been dismembered and a more external portion has been translated towards the external adriatic-padan zone, originating the salt outcrops of Secchia Valley, the most external Tuscan allochthonous triassic evaporites nucleus of the Northern Apennine mountain building
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
