3D Digitization and Web Publishing of an ISMAR Cartographic Heritage: Historical Maps of Venice Lagoon
Full text linkRecently a collection of ancient maps was found in the Institute of Marine Sciences of CNR in Venice. The collection includes maps, perspective views, pilot books and ancient manuscripts: this work took into account a selection of maps and documents representing the Venice Lagoon and the Adriatic coast.
The first part of this research focused on the application of a scientific method for digital acquisition of historical cartography; thanks to the Geomatic tools and especially to digital photogrammetry it is possible to acquire metric, semantic and symbolic information and also the three-dimensional shape of the geometrical support to correct the deformations occurred over time.
In order to allow historical and morphological analysis of the Venice Lagoon, one of the main goals of this research will be the creation of a digital catalogue on a web-gis platform with all the ancient maps acquired. In this way it will be possible to query and to overlap the maps in an interactive way, allowing studies and comparisons with the more recent cartography.
The applied procedure of recovery and valorization of historical cartography is divided into three different phases: acquisition, georeferencing and data elaboration of maps in a digital environment. This research underlines the application of a scientific procedure for the conservation and valorization of the historical Cartographic Heritage
Haedropleura
No full textHaedropleura sp. 1 Figs. 37 –42, 70– 72 Material examined. Plio/Pleistocene – late Piacenzian/early Gelasian: Pieve Vecchia (Pisa), 43 ° 29 ’ 57 ”N, 10 ° 29 ’ 15 ”E, 5 sh. Description. Shell small (max length 8.7 mm; see Appendix 1), elongate-fusiform, glossy, whitish. Protoconch entirely smooth, peg-like, paucispiral (of 1.3–1.5 whorls), with papillose tip and weakly convex, almost straight remaining half-whorl. Scattered punctate markings present just above suture. Protoconch average diameter 0.78 mm, SD= 0.02 mm and length 0.79 mm, SD= 0.02 mm, respectively (see Appendix 1). Transition to teleoconch marked by narrow sigmoid fold, faint wrinkles also present on some specimens. Teleoconch glossy when well preserved, white, of max. 5.2 whorls, with high, conical spire; whorl sides regularly convex over abapical whorl, slightly concave the remaining portion. Suture moderately deep, slightly undulated by rib-terminations. Aperture oblong with small parietal callus, present in all studied specimens. Columellar lip straight, thin. Outer lip incomplete on all available specimens, thin, backed by moderate varix, more pronounced in specimens with> 5 teleoconch whorls. Anal sinus shallow but broad. Siphonal canal short, wide, without notch. Last whorl moderately to well-rounded with short neck. Axial sculpture consists of 9–10 narrow, rounded, opisthocline ribs along with wellmarked growth lines. Axial ribs on spire slightly curved, extending from suture to suture, subdued and pinched adapically, prominent on lower half of whorls; on last whorl, ribs low to obsolete, fading out at mid-whorl. Spiral sculpture consists of dense, close-set threads, wider on neck than higher up, not evident on spire whorls of all specimens. Distribution. Haedropleura sp. 1 is known only from Orciano Pisano (late Piacenzian–early Gelasian). Remarks. This morphotype shows all the principal characters of the genus Haedropleura. However, given the lack of specimens (only two in good condition), from a single locality, its intra-specific variability cannot be assessed adequately. Therefore, we refrain from instituting a new species until more specimens are available.Published as part of Scarponi, Daniele, Bella, Giano Della & Ceregato, Alessandro, 2011, The genus Haedropleura (Neogastropoda, Toxoglossa = Conoidea) in the Plio – Quaternary of the Mediterranean basin, pp. 37-55 in Zootaxa 2796 on page 47, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20656

(1981, pl. 13, fig. 11) and Bernasconi & Robba (1984, pl. 3, fig. 1). Type locality. Zinola (Savona), Italy. Material examined. Type material only. Distribution. Haedropleura contii is known with certainty only from the Early Pliocene of Italy (Bernasconi & Robba 1984). Glibert (1954) reported three specimens from the Redonien (i.e., late Tortonian–early Zanclean; Neraudeau et al. 2003) of the Loire Basin (France). Glibert’s material needs further investigation. The specimen he illustrated is similar to the type material, however, the protoconch, which in H. contii is a distinctive feature, is broken and cannot be compared. Remarks. Haedropleura contii is an extremely rare species, and its intra-specific variability cannot be assessed (see Appendix 1). Indeed, since its description only one specimen has been found in the clay succession at Zinola, and probably three specimens in the Loire basin (Glibert 1954). We refer to Bernasconi & Robba (1984) and Ferrero Mortara et al. (1981) for illustrations of the only known specimen. Bernasconi & Robba (1984) provided a thorough description of the type material, and here we highlight its characteristic features: shell with high spire and almost evenly convex whorls, decorated by 10–14 rounded ribs, each half the width wide of an interspace. Spiral threads visible on the last whorl but very faint on the spire. Protoconch of 3.5 eroded whorls, the tip small and the teleoconch transition marked by faint, narrow, axial folds. Aperture oval with a variced outer lip, interior smooth. Anal sinus wide and shallow.Published as part of Scarponi, Daniele, Bella, Giano Della & Ceregato, Alessandro, 2011, The genus Haedropleura (Neogastropoda, Toxoglossa = Conoidea) in the Plio – Quaternary of the Mediterranean basin, pp. 37-55 in Zootaxa 2796 on page 43, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20656
Drowned karst landscape offshore the Apulian Margin (Southern Adriatic Sea, Italy)
Full text linkThe south Adriatic shelf offshore of the predominently carbonate Apulian coast is characterized by a peculiar rough topography interpreted as relic karst formed at a time of lower sea level. The study area covers a surface of about 220 km2, with depths ranging from 50 to 105 m. The most relevant and diagnostic features are circular depressions a few tens to 150 m in diameter and 0.50 to 20 m deep thought to be dolines at various stages of evolution. The major doline, Oyster Pit, has its top at about 50 m water depth and is 20 m deep. It is partly filled with sediments redeposited by episodic mass failure from the doline's flank. Bedrock samples from the study area document that Plio-Pleistocene calcarenites, tentatively correlated with the Calcarenite di Gravina Fm, are a prime candidate for the carbonate rocks involved in the karstification, although the presence of other units, such as the Peschici or Maiolica Fms, is not excluded. The area containing this subaerial karst landscape was submerged about 12,500 years ago as a result of the postglacial transgression over the continental shelf
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

Distribution. Fossil specimens cited from the Miocene of the Loire Basin, France (Glibert 1954) need further investigations. Upper Miocene (Tortonian) material from Piedmont, Italy (Bernasconi & Robba 1984) is not attributable to this species. The lectotype of H. secalina has a paucispiral, papillate protoconch of 1.5 whorls (see Appendix 1), whereas the material from Piedmont has a multispiral mamillate protoconch of ~ 3 whorls. Haedropleura secalina is present, even if not very abundant, in the Plio–Quaternary of Italy (Ruggieri 1948; Chirli 1997; Scarponi & Della Bella 2004). In the living fauna, H. secalina is known with certainty from the entire Mediterranean Sea and from the neighbouring Atlantic ((Madeira) Nordsieck 1977; Cachia et al. 2001). Remarks. Haedropleura secalina has a solid, glossy, fusiform shell with a paucispiral, papillose protoconch (1.4 to 1.8 whorls; average diameter 0.64 mm, SD= 0.04 mm; see Appendix 1), indicating a non-planktotrophic larval phase. The protoconch is smooth, except for scanty punctate markings present near the suture and an obsolete, narrow axial fold marking the transition to the teleoconch (faint wrinkles are also present at the teleoconch transition on some specimens). The teleoconch consists of max. ~ 7 whorls, regularly convex on their abapical half and slightly concave on their adapical part. The axial sculpture is very close to that of H. septangularis even though the ribs are more numerous and slender (8–11 on the last whorl; see also Appendix 1). The aperture is elongate with a small parietal callus, ending in a poorly defined, very wide anterior canal. For features of the animal we refer to Cachia et al. (2001). Haedropleura secalina has been long synonymised with H. septangularis, despite being readily diagnosed by its paucispiral protoconch (on average 1.5 whorls, SD= 0.1). This is not surprising, especially during the 19 th century where protoconch features were commonly overlooked. Indeed, the teleoconch outline, outer lip, anal sinus and sculpture show strong affinities to those of H. septangularis. If the protoconch is missing, only a few teleoconch features (unfortunately showing a certain degree of overlap) are useful to discriminate between the two species. H. secalina has a higher number of narrower axial ribs and the anterior canal is wider but less well-defined. However, with complete specimens the protoconch is a useful diagnostic feature that allows immediate separation of the two species. The specimen cited by Bernasconi & Robba (1984) as H. secalina from the Tortonian and Early Pliocene of Italy we consider to belong in H. formosa n. sp.Published as part of Scarponi, Daniele, Bella, Giano Della & Ceregato, Alessandro, 2011, The genus Haedropleura (Neogastropoda, Toxoglossa = Conoidea) in the Plio – Quaternary of the Mediterranean basin, pp. 37-55 in Zootaxa 2796 on pages 43-44, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20656
