New Land Values Patterns in the Space of the Italian Metropolitan Areas: The Case of the Logistic Retro-port in Naples
No full textAbstractIn the perspective of the new level of government - the Metropolitan city of Naples- one of the most challenging projects concerns the redevelopment of the ex-industrial areas located in the eastern zone of the city, characterized by the presence of the port. One of the reasons for the slowness in which the program of urban regeneration proceed (NaplEst) is the generic identification of the demand for new functions in an area which plays a strategic role in the metropolitan context. The article, starting from an analysis of the land values in the space of the metropolitan city, wants to highlight their evolution. With reference to the land values in the peripheral areas, it is possible to see new values, more significant with regard to the past. In this new and discontinued framework of land values, a more realistic proposal for the regeneration of the retro-port is relevant: the logistic function, in accordance with the “State Plan of a first Intervention for the South industrial ports”

Taking the Measure of the West
No full textForte writes that scholars, like himself, who have studied Islam . . . have been dismayed to see the triumph, in Arab lands and beyond, of the Salafist, or fundamentalist, movement over its competitors. He also agrees with author, journalist and former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy who decries the clear and present threat [radical Islam] poses to Western civilization today
The Marriage of Note and Word in Two Songs by the Gershwins
No full textThe author investigates various ways in which George Gershwin’s music and Ira Gershwin’s lyrics are ingeniously interconnected in two songs: “How Long Has This Been Going On?” (1927) and “Who Cares” (1931). The music’s melodies, motives, harmonies, and forms are tied to the lyrics’ rhymes, alliterations, and semantic meanings. The author demonstrates that the designs found in the songs are multi-directional: notes refer to other notes and words, and words refer to other words and notes; the relations are symmetrical.

Seeking social capital and expertise in a newly-formed research community: a co-author analysis
No full textThis exploratory study applies social network analysis techniques to existing, publicly available data to understand collaboration patterns within the co-author network of a federally-funded, interdisciplinary research program. The central questions asked: What underlying social capital structures can be determined about a group of researchers from bibliometric data and other publicly available existing data? What are ways social network tools characterize the interdisciplinarity or cross-disciplinarity of co-author teams? The names of 411 grantees were searched in the Web of Science indexing database; author information from the WoS search results resulted in a 191-member co-author network. Research domains were included as attribute data for the co-author network. UCINet social network analysis software calculated a large 60 node component and two larger components with 12 and 8 nodes respectively, the remainder of the network consisted of smaller 2-5 node components. Within the 191-node co-author network the following analyses were performed to learn more about the structural social capital of this group: Degree and Eigenvector centrality measures, brokerage measures, and constraint measures. Additionally, ten randomly selected dyads and the five 4-node cliques within the 191-node network were examined to find patterns of cross-disciplinary collaboration among researcher and within award teams. Award numbers were added as attribute data to five 4-node cliques and 10 random dyads; these showed instances of collaboration among interdisciplinary award teams. Collaboration patterns across disciplines are discussed. Data from this research could serve as a baseline measure for growth in future analyses of the case studied. This method is recommended as a tool to gain insights to a research community and to track publication collaboration growth over time. This research method shows potential as a way to identify aspects of a research community’s social structural capital, particularly within an interdisciplinary network to highlight where researchers are working well together or to learn where there is little collaboration

Measurements of slant and vertical TEC using data from FORTE and the TRACKER ray-tracing code
No full textIn a previous informal report, the author described the FORTE satellite and the analysis techniques used to extract a slant TEC from measurements of the dispersion of a signal transmitted from and EMP generator at Los Alamos. In this report he reports on the use of a ray-tracing/ionospheric model code to deduce the vertical TEC to 800 km from the FORTE measurements
Leaders of Reform: Progressive Republicans in Kansas, 1900-1916
No full textRobert Sherman La Forte was professor of history at the University of North Texas, where he taught for thirty years. In addition to this book, he coauthored three books on World War II history and the authorized history of the University of North Texas.
With a New Foreword by Charles Delgadillo.
Charles Delgadillo is lecturer in history at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and Norco College, in California. He is the author of Crusader for Democracy: The Political Life of William Allen White.This Kansas Open Books title is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Humanities Open Book Program.In Leaders of Reform Robert Sherman La Forte examines the intricacies of shifting factions within the state majority party over a two decade period, from the Boss-Busters and political machines of the early 1900s through the formation of a new party behind Theodore Roosevelt in 1913. He discusses the motives, activities, accomplishments, and failures of the progressive Republicans. He provides excellent vignettes of major leaders such as William Allen White, Arthur Capper, Joseph L. Bristow, and Charles Curtis, as well as lesser-known characters such as Walter Roscoe Stubbs, Edward H. Hoch, and Cy Leland, Jr.
In providing a detailed analysis of virtually all Kansas progressive Republican leaders during the era, La Forte has made a valuable contribution to both state and national political history

Informal report on measurements of slant TEC by FORTE
No full textLos Alamos National Laboratory`s Space and Atmospheric Sciences group is now operating the FORTE satellite, which has two sets of instruments: optical detectors and radio detectors. In this report the author describes work with one set of radio detectors that allow measurements of the total electron content (TEC) traversed by VHF radiation originating at an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generator located at Los Alamos
