SisPick! 2.0 Sistema interattivo per l'interpretazione di segnali sismici
No full textSisPick! è un sistema software ideato per l’analisi interattiva dei segnali sismici registrati dalle
stazioni di una rete sismometrica digitale. Attualmente, nella sua seconda versione, è in uso presso
la sala operativa di monitoraggio sismico dell’INGV in Roma.
Questo manuale è rivolto principalmente agli operatori in turno di sorveglianza sismica, ma sarà di
valido supporto anche a coloro che vorranno impiegare il programma per analisi di dati off-line.
Lo scopo primario del programma è quello di facilitare ed accelerare il più possibile le operazioni di
analisi interattiva real time in caso di evento sismico. Le procedure di routine sono rese
immediatamente accessibili all’operatore in modo da consentire un calcolo pressoché immediato
delle soluzioni.
Al contempo, come per alcune versioni precedenti [WLH, Bono e Badiali, 2003], esso concorre con
le medesime funzioni e modalità alla esecuzione di operazioni di routine previste per la
compilazione del Bollettino Sismico Nazionale.
Nelle pagine seguenti vedremo i miglioramenti apportati alle precedenti strutture (prototipi) con la
nuova versione del programma. Tali aggiornamenti, uniti alla completa riscrittura del codice in
ambienti di sviluppo moderni e molto potenti, rendono SisPick! un sistema ad alta affidabilità, ricco
di strumenti, potenzialmente espandibile e personalizzabile secondo le esigenze degli utenti.INGVPublished5.5. Attività di Sala Operativaope

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
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
Renewable primary power source for desalination plants in coastal zones.Analysis and economical assessment in a disparching regulatory policy
No full textClimate change with its fluctuations of temperature and meteorological precipitations together with demographic pressure has made water disposal for human consumption a major problem. In coastal maritime areas desalination plant technology is one of the proposed solutions to face water needs, its economic convenience has to be evaluated when a renewable source is used as an alternative primary energy. The economical evaluation depends upon the regulatory policy governing electrical prices in the plant-hosting country. Here the focus is on the regulatory policy, on the power selling option within the deregulated market, on renewables and on the standards and rules applied in Italy, as solar and wind sources are elected as primary energy to hybrid desalination systems. A case study concerning the Asinara Island, an area with special environmental constraints, is developed. The paper analyses the desalination plant design and operation for a respectful use of the soil and a wide seasonal swing of water demand. Governance actions aiming at a more responsible use of water resources are taken into account. The recalled model is applied to analyze the integrated system performance to search for the optimum solution. After statistical water demand and renewable energy sources (wind, solar) availability are obtained, the features of the system are calculated
