Bruno Rossi and Italian Cosmic-Ray Physics: Padova and the Expedition to Eritrea
Full text linkopenAfter the discovery of cosmic rays in 1912, only in the late 1920s did physicists begin to debate
the nature and origin of cosmic rays. The Venetian physicist Bruno Rossi (1905-1993) was
one of the first to entirely dedicate his career to this new and fascinating subject. The people
and students he collaborated with, while working in Florence first and in Padua later, were
to become prominent researchers in different fields of experimental physics, both in Italy and
abroad. Gathering fragmented and unpublished material, this dissertation will focus on his work
during the interwar period and the influence it had on the development of physics. Particular
attention will be paid also to the socio-political aspects of Rossi’s life and career, as he was a
Jew and thus suffered from the infamous fascist Racial Laws, which forced him and his wife to
leave Italy.After the discovery of cosmic rays in 1912, only in the late 1920s did physicists begin to debate

Un educatore trasformativo: un frutto raro
No full textGli autori del presente contributo hanno deciso di focalizzare l’attenzione su due dimensioni: quella riferita agli aspetti professionali di Bruno Rossi come educatore, e sulla teoria dell’apprendimento trasformativo, evidenziandone il collegamento. Si tenterà di far emergere l’unicità di alcuni aspetti dell’educatore trasformativo, come persona e pedagogista, e di inquadrare il suo essere educatore nel frame del Trasformative Learning
Tullio Levi-Civita e Bruno Rossi. Due eccellenze ripudiate dall'Italia fascista
No full textL'articolo racconta l'isolamento sociale e culturale subiti dal matematico italiano Tullio Levi-Civita (1873-1941) e dal fisico Bruno Rossi (1905-1993), in seguito alla promulgazione delle leggi razziali del 1938, supinamente accettate da gran parte della borghesia italica e dalla quasi totalità della comunità scientifica italiana, anche quella astronomica. Entrambi vittime, dunque, anche se in momenti diversi della loro carriera accademica: il primo a sessantacinque anni, dopo una vita dedicata alla ricerca e alla scienza e dopo aver portato lustro e onore alla matematica italiana nel mondo. Il secondo, invece, proprio nel pieno della sua maturità sia come fisico sia come cattedratico, nel momento in cui stava dando alla fisica padovana una svolta radicale, risvegliandola da un torpore decennale e indirizzandola verso l’eccellenza internazionale

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
