Cittadella vs città: storia di una difficile convivenza
No full textUna vista attuale zenitale “fotografa” una netta separazione tra città e cittadella, amplificata dalla presenza del fiume. Per quasi tutto il XX secolo, e anche prima, questa separazione “fisica” si è riverberata anche nelle diverse funzioni, civili e militari, e nelle differenti proprietà ed enti competenti, che ne hanno gestito le sorti in maniera indipendente.
Il progetto della cittadella nasce “dalle ceneri” di un quartiere della città che sin dalla sua origine si dipana su entrambe le rive del Tanaro: il progetto bertoliano cancella una parte della città, ponendosi sin da subito in un rapporto conflittuale con la città civile, mutilata e costretta a una ristrutturazione del tessuto urbano. La cittadella vive in funzione della città e del fiume ai quali deve la sua localizzazione, pur essendo totalmente avulsa e estrusa.
Per tutto il Settecento questa divisione, fisica e funzionale, permane: la cittadella vigila sulla città, ma soprattutto su un territorio ben più vasto; difende i confini del regno a sud- est, si pone (e così verrà intesa più tardi da Napoleone) quale testa di ponte nei confronti della penisola. Spesso le carte militari non rappresentano il tessuto urbano alessandrino; i documenti civili non delineano mai la cittadella nel dettaglio.
Sarà proprio il periodo napoleonico a rivedere, almeno sulla carta, il legame (mancato?) tra città e cittadella: quest’ultima verrà potenziata in quanto ritenuta strategica, ma non manca un progetto di trasformazione di città e cittadella in una unica immensa piazzaforte, mentre Napoleone esplicita in un suo proclama il desiderio di fondare una nuova città a Marengo dove trasferire tutti gli alessandrini.
Nel sogno napoleonico, città e cittadella sono finalmente unite, almeno sulla carta, in una unica funzione strategico-militare

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
A walk through the heart of Naples: a discovery of architecture dating from the Gothic era to the Renaissance period
No full textNaples is a historical city which dates back three thousand years. The city history remains an important part of present society and is reflected by the many remaining archaeological finds, monuments, and buildings, all make up the identity of the city and its population.
From touristic point of view , the area of Campania offers a lot of interesting things, both in terms of its nature and its culture. Naples, the city and its province shapes the coastline of the Gulf of Naples, boasting the wonders of Pompei and Herculaneum, the beauty of the Phlegraean Fields, the enchantment of the Sorrentine Peninsular , the legendary islands of the Gulf and most importantly Vesuvius.
Certainly, much has been said and written about this area, and, nevertheless this knowledge is somewhat superficial and much still remains uncertain. This book is considered as a bridge between people who desire to walk through the heart of Naples and its territory discovering old and unique testimonies of past centuries, and the identity of a land which is still alive in the spirit and in the welcoming of people .
This book suggests some day trip itineraries, recommending destinations but leaving you with a choice, following your own impulses and preferences in the knowledge of this wonderful region. This book only intends to take the role of showing what there is to discover, in particular the Naples’ warm and ancient sense of hospitality, which reveals the identity of a town famous all over the world.
In particular it focuses the attention on an very old and unique architectural example of the passage from the Gothic age to the Renaissance in Naples.
The itinerary proposed is a visit to the Province of Naples which runs from Ischia ( at the extreme west coast of the Gulf ) to the Sorrentine Peninsular, then into the heart of the region to visit the area at the feet of Vesuvius.
It is a route that allows visitors to see civil and religious architecture, castles, numerous nobles’ palaces and villas with splendid portals and the Royal Palaces, where their history is crystallised in the walls and rooms, offering attestations of a culture developed over the course of many centuries
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in southern Italy: a study on the population of the Cosenza province.
No full text35,660 healthy children attending secondary school in the Cosenza province, in the North of Calabria (Southern Italy), were screened for G6PD deficiency. Of 16,787 schoolboys, 209 were found to be G6PD deficient (1.24%). Of these, 99 (47.37%) had red cell G6PD activity below 5%, and they were classified as having the G6PD Mediterranean phenotype. The remaining 110 (52.63%), had a mild to moderate degree of deficiency, with an enzyme activity between 5 and 60%. Of these, 82 (74.55%) were electrophoretically normal, while 17 (15.45%) were electrophoretically fast and 11 (10.0%) were electrophoretically slow. The highest incidence of G6PD deficiency is on the Ionian Coast and along the Crati and Esaro river valleys, in good agreement with the distribution of the past malarial endemicity
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
