Extensional detachment faulting on the tyrrhenian margin of the Southern Apennines contractional belt (Italy)
The tectonic evolution of the Campania margin during the late Pliocene–Pleistocene is characterized by extensional deformation coeval with the opening of the Marsili oceanic basin. The initial stages of stretching are represented in the analysed area by the development of low-angle normal faults that extended the belt in the same direction as the direction of spreading recognized for the oceanic basin. Detachment faulting was accompanied by the onset of magmatic activity and by major uplifts that resulted in the accumulation of thick conglomerate successions in the half-grabens that developed in the upper plate of the extensional detachment. Deformation continued during the Mid-Pleistocene with the formation of strike- slip and normal faults trending almost parallel to the spreading direction of the Marsili basin. These faults dissected the extensional detachment and promoted counter-clockwise block rotations about vertical axes, which accommodated the ESE-directed stretching of the Marsili basin and the consequent sinistral shear imposed on the southern Apennine chain. The development of a regional detachment fault along the Tyrrhenian margin of Campania explains the complex patterns of subsidence and uplift that characterize this area during the Pleistocene and fits well within the regional geodynamic framework of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea
Integrated stratigraphy of Middle-Late Miocene synorogenic deposits of the Eastern Southern Apennine Chain: The San Bartolomeo Flysch.
Integrated stratigraphy of Middle-Late Miocene synorogenic deposits of the Eastern Southern Apennine Chain: The San Bartolomeo Flysch
The present paper deals with the stratigraphic and biostratigraphic study of the middle-late Miocene thrust-top basin deposits of the San Bartolomeo Flysch, exposed north of Matese mountains and analysed during the geological survey of the sheet N° 405 Campobasso of the new Geological Map of Italy, 1:50.000 scale. The integrated study of calcareous nannofossils and planktonic foraminifera, based on the semi-quantitative distribution range of index species, revealed the presence of age-diagnostic assemblages which are comparable with those of different middle-late Miocene deep-marine sedimentary settings of the Mediterranean Basin. The biostratigraphic dataset suggests an early Serravallian – early middle Tortonian age. In terms of calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, the studied succession falls between the Last Occurrences of Sphenolithus heteromorphus and the First Occurrence of Discoaster bellus gr., corresponding to the MNN6 – MNN8 zone interval. In terms of planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy the studied sediments fall between the Last Occurrence of Globorotalia peripheroronda and the First Regular Occurrence of Neogloboquadrina acostaensis, corresponding to the MM6 p.p. - MMi10 p.p. zone interval. This study documents the applicability of the recent Mediterranean middle –late Miocene biozonations for the biostratigraphic study of siliciclastic synorogenic sediments, and challenges the most recent studies that dated the San Bartolomeo Flysch to the late Tortonian- early Messinian

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
