GLACIER MONITORING BY REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TECHNIQUES IN OPEN SOURCE ENVIRONMENT
Full text link. This research developed a study process to analyze the status of some Alpine glacier groups (Adamello, Ortles-Cevedale and Bernina) localized in the North of Italy, the “water tower” of Eu-rope. The investigation was based on a set of multi-temporal three Landsat scenes acquired with the sensors MSS, TM and ETM+ combined with other types of information (2D, 3D and thematic data). The GIS based analysis, supported by remote sensing processing, allowed the extrapolation of the meaningful parameters for the glacier dynamism in the temporal displacement of observa-tion
Monitoraggio ecografico di un caso di rottura della corda femoro-metatarsica in un cavallo sportivo
No full textThe rupture of Peroneus tertius is an uncommon disorder of sport horses as can be drawn by the few reports found in the literature. In the present paper a case of partial rupture of the tibial portion of Peroneus tertius in a showjumping horse will be discussed, with particular reference to the ultrasonographic examination as a reliable mean to confirm the diagnosis. This technique also allows to monitor the healing process of Peroneus tertius in order to control the effect of treatment and the intensity of exercise that the horse should be given during the recovery period
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
